Gilles Conseil: First Gestapo Guard

Quotes 

• Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : [after carefully washing his hands in the bathroom and inspecting himself in the mirror there, enters the ornately-decorated office where Catherine is sitting naked on the chair, her wrists manacled behind her back again]  So, Denise... Yes, that is what they call you, isn't it? Professionally. So, Denise...

  [letting his eyes roam over her naked flesh] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : You are not a child.

  [smirks] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : That much anyone can see. Now you know where you are and you know what I want. This is your last chance to cooperate.

  Catherine Pradier : [swallowing hard]  You know I can't do that.

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : [bending over her, taking her by her bare shoulders, looking quite sincerely into her eyes]  Don't make me turn them loose on you.

  [tutting] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : Don't make me do that, please.

  [drawing out that word, as she just looks at him ruefully, and he switches his attention to her confiscated handbag on the table, rifling through her identity documents] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : Is this all she was carrying?

  First Gestapo Guard : Yes, Herr Obersturmführer!

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : Where is the microfilm with your instructions?

  [no answer from her] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : You can tell me now or after they've finished pulling out your fingernails one by one, it's your choice.

  Catherine Pradier : [fighting back tears]  There is no microfilm.

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : [selecting an ornament and holding it up, rubbing it appreciatively]  This is 17th Century Chinese porcelain. It's a work of art. It's unique. Priceless. Once destroyed, it cannot be replaced. It will be gone forever. Like your beauty.

  [drops the vase, letting it smash into smithereens at her bare, bound feet] 

  Hans-Dieter Stromelburg : Do not let me do the same to you.
