[just before the football match]

Where do I stand for a corner kick?

At the far post, facing the ball.

Thanks. For a while there I thought you were keeping it a secret.

[Hatch has been told he has to return to the prison camp]
Hatch
What am I supposed to do, break back into the camp?
André - The French
No. You get captured.
Hatch
Get captured. All right, suppose I get captured? And then they send me to the wrong prisoner camp. What about that?
André - The French
No, no.
Hatch
Now, what about that?
André - The French
[tsks and shakes his head]
The Germans will take you to the same place again to show the other prisoners you are not a success.

Lang - The Germans
We will win?
Major Karl Von Steiner - The Germans
We should. We are very strong, but... players can get injured. The referee can make mistakes.
Lang - The Germans
[knowingly]
Oh, this referee is very good. He will make no mistakes.
Major Karl Von Steiner - The Germans
We can't do that. I have given my word.
Lang - The Germans
Karl, we cannot afford to take a chance. We must win.

Renée - The French
[Hatch has asked how she feels about sheltering him]
How do I feel? I feel responsible. Hopeful. When I get word that someone I sheltered is safe, then I'm happy. I can forget them. But when I hear that they've been caught or killed, then I remember everything. I remember their face, their voices, what they said about their parents, their child, their pets, and I mourn for them. I don't want to mourn for you.
Hatch
Well, you're safe with me, Renée.
Renée - The French
How?
Hatch
Well, I'm, uh... an orphan, a bastard. I have no parents, no money, no wife, no children. I don't even have a pet. Anything I say in my sleep to the contrary can't be held against me.
[Renée smiles]

[Eastern European players have been brought from labor camps to play on the team]
Capt. John Colby - The Players: England
They're all great players.
Colonel Waldron - The English
They WERE.
[the camera focuses on the five men, frail and starved, dressed in filthy rags]
Colonel Waldron - The English
[angrily]
You are a naive fool, Colby. Insisting on great players? Von Steiner has sent you five skeletons. Guarantees that you'll turn up in Paris for his propaganda victory.
Capt. John Colby - The Players: England
Colonel, I...
Colonel Waldron - The English
The Germans are doing their job very well. London knows. We heard it on the news. It's in all the papers. They're calling it another German lie. London is saying that no British officer would ever be involved in such a game.
Capt. John Colby - The Players: England
London is saying, Colonel? What about those poor bastards there? Do we send them back to the labor camps?
Colonel Waldron - The English
That's a very good question, Colby.
