Frosch : [enters] Herr Direktor, there is again another lady outside. A marquise.
Colonel Frank : Why do you say she is a Marquise?
Frosch : [indicating taking off a mask] She let her marquee down. She wanted to talk, so I put her in the Consulting Room.
Frosch : [Col Frank bumps hard into Frosch, sending him reeling, as he heads out the door] Help! Foul! Body-check! Yellow Card! In soccer that's an 11-meter penalty kick. But now I have to drink something.
Frosch : [picks up a small glass from the Director's desk, thinking it's Slivovitz, and swallows it all in one gulp; then he spits it out in disgust] Help! Tea!
