Movie Dialogue Sample
- How's 1946?
- You mean you're not interested?
330
00:31:38,868 --> 00:31:41,454 I know you, Jake. We're a long way
from South Street.
331
00:31:41,454 --> 00:31:45,542 That's funny. I haven't met a DA yet
that could resist a murder.
332
00:31:51,089 --> 00:31:54,467 Nothing better for a prosecutor
than a criminal with a sense of history.
333
00:31:54,676 --> 00:31:57,679 Everything got written down.
Who they killed and what it cost.
334
00:31:57,929 --> 00:32:00,515 Meticulous record keepers.
335
00:32:01,432 --> 00:32:07,564 - forces from the west are poised
to strike the final blows upon Japan.
336
00:32:07,772 --> 00:32:12,235 This military power is sustained
and inspired by the determination...
337
00:32:12,277 --> 00:32:16,698 ...of all the Allied nations
to prosecute the war against Japan...
338
00:32:16,906 --> 00:32:19,993 - ... until she ceases to exist.
- It looks like you're putting...
339
00:32:20,243 --> 00:32:23,496 - ... the whole country on trial.
- These are just the active cases.
340
00:32:23,496 --> 00:32:26,291 The rest are kept under
lock and key at Kransberg.
341
00:32:26,541 --> 00:32:29,335 They want me to decide
who the ardent Nazis were.
342
00:32:29,544 --> 00:32:33,381 Truth is, it was the whole country.
Nobody's hands are clean.
343
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:36,342 Twenty-hour days
just to get my arms around it.
344
00:32:36,551 --> 00:32:39,053 So, what's the murder
you wanted to tell me about?
345
00:32:44,058 --> 00:32:46,770 What, Gunther?
He used to be a cop here in Berlin.
346
00:32:46,978 --> 00:32:49,731 Don't worry, he doesn't
speak a word of English.
347
00:32:50,398 --> 00:32:53,526 My driver, a kid named Tully,
turned up dead in Potsdam.
348
00:32:53,526 --> 00:32:55,653 Potsdam? Potsdam's closed
for the conference.
349
00:32:55,862 --> 00:32:58,531 Whoever wanted him dead
had access to the delegations.
350
00:32:58,531 --> 00:33:01,326 - That's somebody high up.
- Why haven't I heard about it?
351
00:33:01,576 --> 00:33:04,454 Muller didn't want you to.
He ordered me to leave it alone.
352
00:33:04,496 --> 00:33:07,040 Nobody around here's
acting like the war is over.
353
00:33:07,332 --> 00:33:10,752 Not the Russians. Not the MG.
354
00:33:11,002 --> 00:33:13,379 - What's your angle?
- Why should I have an angle?
355
00:33:13,588 --> 00:33:14,964 It just doesn't sound like you.
356
00:33:15,173 --> 00:33:18,760 You came home, all you talked about
was what a great lay your secretary was.
357
00:33:18,968 --> 00:33:21,304 - Stringer.
- Stringer. Sorry.
358
00:33:21,513 --> 00:33:24,849 A bullet through the chest, in the river.
It's like it never happened.
359
00:33:25,058 --> 00:33:28,436 Isn't that what we fought a war about?
Even a louse like Tully?
360
00:33:31,439 --> 00:33:33,108 Okay.
361
00:33:33,483 --> 00:33:35,110 Okay.
362
00:33:36,027 --> 00:33:37,195 What?
363
00:33:37,445 --> 00:33:41,407 The Russians will have to do
a police report. Can you get me a copy?
364
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,414 This guy drove one of the gas vans.
365
00:33:48,414 --> 00:33:52,252 They would load the Jews in back,
run the exhaust inside.
366
00:33:52,460 --> 00:33:56,548 By the time they got where they were
going, they were dead. Very efficient.
367
00:33:56,756 --> 00:34:00,135 Driving to work he killed more people
than Al Capone in all his years.
368
00:34:00,385 --> 00:34:04,472 But if you asked him,
he isn't a murderer, he's a truck driver.
369
00:34:04,472 --> 00:34:06,766 And he still thinks that.
370
00:34:09,352 --> 00:34:11,896 Thanks, Bernie. I owe you one.
371
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,960 Thank you, Danny.
372
00:35:23,551 --> 00:35:27,555 I can't be out after curfew.
Would you walk with me?
373
00:35:56,626 --> 00:35:58,795 You live here with someone?
374
00:36:00,296 --> 00:36:01,840 Big man.
375
00:36:02,048 --> 00:36:04,467 You want two girls?
376
00:36:08,513 --> 00:36:10,473 You know a girl named Lena?
377
00:36:11,432 --> 00:36:13,351 Who told you about Lena?
378
00:36:13,393 --> 00:36:16,187 I'm not trying to get something
for nothing.
379
00:36:18,565 --> 00:36:21,276 Aren't you going to offer me
a cigarette?
380
00:36:26,197 --> 00:36:28,408 I didn't see her at the club.
381
00:36:29,576 --> 00:36:31,286 Skinny Lena.
382
00:36:31,494 --> 00:36:35,331 A big Yank in the saddle,
you'd break her in two.
383
00:36:36,666 --> 00:36:39,043 Can I look in your bedroom?
384
00:37:01,357 --> 00:37:05,111 Come. Fuck me, Dutch.
385
00:37:16,414 --> 00:37:19,459 The princess,
who knows where she is?
386
00:37:22,504 --> 00:37:25,423 Lena was raped by the Russians.
387
00:37:25,465 --> 00:37:28,343 You'll get yourself a good dose.
388
00:37:29,803 --> 00:37:33,139 I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
389
00:37:37,352 --> 00:37:39,395 She's not so special.
390
00:37:39,437 --> 00:37:42,982 They raped everyone:
