- [On Marshal Foch's private train, Matthias Erzberger negotiates a ceasefire with the French]
- Matthias Erzberger: [Speaking to the French delegation while they were sitting] Monsieur le Maréchal, I am asking you for an armistice.
- General Ferdinand Foch: [after handing the document of armistice to Matthias] You have 72 hours to accept our conditions. They are non-negotiable.
- Matthias Erzberger: Seventy-two hours?
- General Ferdinand Foch: The war will continue until you sign them.
- Matthias Erzberger: Monsieur le Maréchal, in God's name, don't let 72 hours pass us by here. Thousands of lives depend on it.
- General Ferdinand Foch: [Marshal stands up to hand a pen to Matthias] Sign then!
