Captain Hauptmann Koenig: What do you want?
Sixtus Andresen: I... thought it only right, considering that you are... de facto commandant of the village, to acquaint you with a decision that I've made.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: I'm very busy.
Sixtus Andresen: I know. I hope you'll forgive me. I know I'm being selfish. But, uhh... Why did you want my house?
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: For a block house! But what was it you wanted to see me about?
Sixtus Andresen: I cannot let you have my house.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: You what?
Sixtus Andresen: I must forbid you to enter my house.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: [laughs hysterically] Are you insane? I could have you shot!
Sixtus Andresen: I know. But if you're interested, I'll tell you what brought me to my conclusion, which is, I can assure you, completely unshakeable. You see, I am well past seventy, and at my age it would be foolish for me to be like Socrates' enemies, and fear death more than I love truth.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: Go on!
Sixtus Andresen: ...I have no guns, no airplanes, no force. I disdain.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: SILENCE!
Sixtus Andresen: What you don't understand is that the individual man...
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: QUIET, YOU FOOL!
Sixtus Andresen: - The individual man must stand against you like a rock.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: [shaking Andresen] Will you STOP!
Sixtus Andresen: [calmly] No. If I were afraid, there might be hope for you, but I am not.
[Koenig slaps Andresen across the face]
Sixtus Andresen: There are certain things you cannot take away from me... What is mine, is mine. Do you think you can stop the working of my brain and my heart?
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: We are not animals; we are men.
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: That is the foundation of law - you cannot win.
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: Where are your courts?
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: Your judges?
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: And your juries?
[slap]
Sixtus Andresen: Until you bring them forward, I must forbid you my house.
Captain Hauptmann Koenig: HE 'FORBIDS'!
[knocks the old man down the stairwell]
