- Fritz Gerlich: [during a montage of subversives being humiliated] My dearest Sophie, I don't know when, or if I will ever see you again. I don't say this to shock. I say it because I must ask one more thing of you; please live. Urge others to speak out, even when what they have to say is not popular. Tell them to embrace courage as a gift and pass it onto their children. You have always been my hope; the promise of goodness, and truth and devotion, and knowing those qualities still survive in this world lets me leave it with a lighter heart. Don't mourn; I've given everything I have to this struggle, and my only option now is to give the last, most precious thing. It will mark this moment in time forever so that people will remember. Yours, always. Fritz.
