Mary Longstreet

Why do you want me to look at these horrors?

Mr. Wilson

It was Kindler who conceived the theory of genocide, mass depopulation of conquered countries. So that regardless of who won the war, Germany would emerge the strongest nation in Western Europe, biologically speaking.

Mr. Wilson Well, who but a Nazi would deny that Karl Marx was a German because he was a Jew? Mary Longstreet Why wasn't it I... Franz Kindler? Kill me. Kill me, I want you to. I couldn't face life knowing what I've been to you and what I've done to Noah. But when you kill me, don't put your hands on me! [Picks up a fireplace poker] Here! Use this!
