- Ingeborg Skjern: [Upon Misse Møhge entering the Varnæs' living room, carrying two heavy bags, on the morning of the German invasion] Misse! Are you going on a journey?
- Misse Møhge: It's something completely different: Mother has been to her safe.
- Maude Varnæs: Yes, she called about it this morning.
- Misse Møhge: Now she wants to bury everything. The silver, the jewelry. And the bonds. We tried to find a place in the park. But there were too many people. And now... Now she demands that I bury everything in your garden.
- Maude Varnæs: In our garden? Have people gone crazy?
- Misse Møhge: Mother's family always buried everything when the Germans came.
