Quotes 

• Count Franz Von Papen : I've often wondered, Countess - why did you leave Warsaw?

  Countess Anna Staviska : Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way.

• Countess Anna Staviska : [to Moyzich]  Please, Moyzich, don't look at me as if you had a source of income other than your salary.

  [He clicks his heels and leaves] 

• Count Franz Von Papen : You could have counted on our protection.

  Countess Anna Staviska : I understand you're protecting all of my estates and possessions in Poland. Who has them?

  Count Franz Von Papen : Field Marshall Goering, I believe.

  Countess Anna Staviska : Many of our German friends before the War would come as our guests to hunt wild pigs. I refused to invite Goering. I couldn't tolerate Goering killing a wild pig. It seemed too much like brother killing brother.

• Countess Anna Staviska : Unfortunately, I have a dinner engagement. But he's an undersecretary and used to waiting.

  Ulysses Diello : Any particular undersecretary, madam?

  Countess Anna Staviska : Undersecretaries are never particular. Perhaps that's why they take me to dinner.

  Ulysses Diello : It's far more likely that in madam's presence they feel like ambassadors.

• Count Franz Von Papen : Why did you leave Warsaw?

  Countess Anna Staviska : Bombs were falling. I felt I was in the way.

  Count Franz Von Papen : And why did you come here? You and your late husband had lived so long in England.

  Countess Anna Staviska : I did not consider being bombed in London more attractive than being bombed in Warsaw.

• Countess Anna Staviska : Do you have a nationality, Diello?

  Ulysses Diello : Most people are born somewhere.

  Countess Anna Staviska : You're not a native Englishman. What are you?

  Ulysses Diello : Albanian... English by adoption.

  Countess Anna Staviska : You're the only Albanian I've ever known.

  Ulysses Diello : You know one, you know them all.
