Commandos Strike at Dawn

EriK Toresen:
[joking to friends] Go on, wash your necks!

Mrs. Korstad:
[advising her daughter-in-law at her wedding reception] Do not permit yourself to get fat. Fat has ruined more marriages than actresses and pretty widows.

Johan Garme:
The herring will run, Germans or no Germans.

Hilma Arnesen:
A dry punch bowl is against nature.

Schoolteacher:
[watching a Nazi bookburning] I'm writing a novel myself. I'd be very disappointed if you gentlemen don't burn it.

Mrs. Bergesen:
[about the Nazis] They steal blankets, pots, pans, food, everything! They kidnap your husband! A great nation? Conquerors? THEIVES - that's what they are! They ought to be handled in a police court!

EriK Toresen:
Finally, Mrs. Bergesen, a police court will be set up and the traffic will be enormous.

EriK Toresen:
...I've lived a quiet life. The Germans have not lived quiet lives. We must learn from them how to become gangsters, thugs, useful with knife, dynamite, poison!

EriK Toresen:
Bergesen was right. Nobody, no civilized human being can know how bad they are!

Adm. Bowen:
You know, Harper's decent, but being an intelligence officer destroys all faith in human nature.

EriK Toresen:
It's hard for me to talk. Our people, as you know, are not demonstrative, but we don't forget our friends nor our enemies.

EriK Toresen:
No one s going to get victory as a gift, Anna. We will get only what we earn.
