Quotes 

• Colonel Kosnov : [During drinks after a dinner party, with the wives present]  It was a long time ago. I'm not sure of the details any longer.

  Bresnavitch : The Colonel is too modest. Imagine. All he actually knew was that three of Sturdevant's men were in a small Polish village. Correct?

  Colonel Kosnov : I think so.

  Bresnavitch : He had to determine which of the 2,300 people in the village were the three he wanted, so he rounded up the entire population. He began to interrogate and execute each of them one by one. Then it seems that when your husband started killing the children one of Sturdevant's men tried to make a run for it. He was caught of course and your husband was able to make him talk, as only he can.

• Colonel Kosnov : Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere. My men are still searching for you. So, where were you? Tell me.

  Erika Kosnov : Smoking hashish. In one of those places that doesn't exist.

• Colonel Kosnov : Come on. Come on. Let me hold you in my arms. You are a naughty, naughty girl.
