Das Leben der Anderen2006

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
Madam?

Christa-Maria Sieland:
Go away. I want to be alone.

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
Madam Sieland?

Christa-Maria Sieland:
Do we know each other?

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
You don't know me, but I know you. Many people love you for who you are.

Christa-Maria Sieland:
Actors are never "who they are."

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
You are. I've seen you on stage. You were more who you are than you are now.

Christa-Maria Sieland:
So you know what I'm like.

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
I'm your audience.

Christa-Maria Sieland:
I have to go.

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
Where to?

Christa-Maria Sieland:
I'm meeting an old classmate. I...

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
You see? Just now, you weren't being yourself.

Christa-Maria Sieland:
No?

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
No.

Christa-Maria Sieland:
So you know her well, this Christa-Maria Sieland. What do you think - would she hurt someone who loves her above all else? Would she sell herself for art?

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler:
For art? You already have art. That'd be a bad deal. You are a great artist. Don't you know that?

Christa-Maria Sieland:
And you are a good man.
