Quotes 

  • Irene Wagner : [first lines - voiceover]  I had been driving aimlessly around the city for more than an hour. My hands gripped the wheel. I struggled with myself, not knowing how the struggle would end.

  • Irene Wagner : [voiceover]  Our prohibited love had never given me serenity.

  • Children's Nanny : Sorry, ma'am, but we can't take it anymore. Miss Marta is unbearable. She thinks we're all loafers. She picks on me in particular because I go dancing on Sundays. What's wrong with that?

    Irene Wagner : You must be patient with Marta. She's grown old. It happens to everyone sooner or later.

    Children's Nanny : I don't want to get old. I'd rather die young.

    Irene Wagner : Let's hope not.

  • Irene Wagner : [voiceover]  I felt as though everything here helped to soothe my tired nerves. Seated on my favorite armchair, I abandoned myself to Marta's pampering. She caressed me with loving hands as she had when I was a child, reminding me of my childhood in Sweden. The immense landscapes, the swims in the lakes, the days of innocent lightheartedness that never came back.

  • Irene Wagner : Don't you think you were too severe?

    Mady : No.

    Irene Wagner : But she told the truth.

    Mady : Yes, but, when? When she had no other way out. When she understood that she couldn't lie anymore. No. She must be punished for her obstinate refusal to confess. I don't understand how a person can be guilty of a serious wrong and not have the courage to confess.

    Irene Wagner : Maybe she was ashamed. We're all ashamed in front of those who are closest to us, those we love.

  • Irene Wagner : [voiceover]  My mind was in tumult. The gray fog and driving rain made the anguished hours I waited, even more desperate.

  • Irene Wagner : Mary, here's your present.

    Mady : I wanted a rifle!

    Irene Wagner : Girls don't play with rifles! No rifle for you .

    Mady : But you bought one for Bubi.

    Irene Wagner : Come sit next to me. Come on, let's see what is in this package. Can you guess what it is? Do you like it?

    [shows her a new stuffed rabbit] 

    Mady : I don't want it.
