Captain Hauptmann Koenig: What do you want?Sixtus Andresen: I... thought it only right, considering that you are... de facto commandant of the village, to acquaint you with a decision that I've made.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: I'm very busy.Sixtus Andresen: I know. I hope you'll forgive me. I know I'm being selfish. But, uhh... Why did you want my house?Captain Hauptmann Koenig: For a block house! But what was it you wanted to see me about?Sixtus Andresen: I cannot let you have my house.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: You what?Sixtus Andresen: I must forbid you to enter my house.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: [laughs hysterically] Are you insane? I could have you shot!Sixtus Andresen: I know. But if you're interested, I'll tell you what brought me to my conclusion, which is, I can assure you, completely unshakeable. You see, I am well past seventy, and at my age it would be foolish for me to be like Socrates' enemies, and fear death more than I love truth.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: Go on!Sixtus Andresen: ...I have no guns, no airplanes, no force. I disdain.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: SILENCE!Sixtus Andresen: What you don't understand is that the individual man...Captain Hauptmann Koenig: QUIET, YOU FOOL!Sixtus Andresen: - The individual man must stand against you like a rock.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: [shaking Andresen] Will you STOP!Sixtus Andresen: [calmly] No. If I were afraid, there might be hope for you, but I am not. [Koenig slaps Andresen across the face] There are certain things you cannot take away from me... What is mine, is mine. Do you think you can stop the working of my brain and my heart? [slap] We are not animals; we are men. [slap] That is the foundation of law - you cannot win. [slap] Where are your courts? [slap] Your judges? [slap] And your juries? [slap] Until you bring them forward, I must forbid you my house.Captain Hauptmann Koenig: HE 'FORBIDS'! [knocks the old man down the stairwell]
