The Twilight Zone1959

[first lines]

Innkeeper:
Yes, sir?

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
I've just arrived in town. Do you have accommodations here?

Innkeeper:
I can give you a lovely front room overlooking the square. Would you care to see it?

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
I'm sure it will be satisfactory.

[signs in; the innkeeper looks at his face with a frightened look, he looks up]

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
Yes? Anything wrong?

Innkeeper:
No, sir.

[looks at what Lutze signed]

Innkeeper:
Mr. Schmidt.

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
That's what I've written.

Innkeeper:
Of course, sir.

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
Of course, what?

Innkeeper:
[nervously] I just meant, uh - I just wondered - it's just that...

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
What? You just wondered what?

Innkeeper:
It's just that - you remind me of someone.

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
Oh?

Innkeeper:
During the war.

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
Go on.

Innkeeper:
There were - there were SS stationed here. They used to come to the inn very often.

SS Captain Gunther Lutze:
I spent the war years on the Russian Front. The panzer division.

Innkeeper:
Of course, sir.
