The Stranger
1946
Wilson: Well, who but a Nazi would deny that Karl Marx was a German... because he was a Jew?
(after Meineke's body is dug up) Mr Potter: 'Course, he's changed some. Being buried in the earth does that.
Professor Charles Rankin: Who would think to look for the notorious Franz Kindler in the sacred precincts of the Harper School, surrounded by the sons of America's first families? And I'll stay hidden... till the day when we strike again. Konrad Meinike: Franz! There will be another war? Professor Charles Rankin: Of course.
Mary Longstreet: Hello, father. Has anybody seen my brand- new husband? Judge Longstreet: Don't tell me he's deserted you already.
Professor Charles Rankin: Mankind is waiting for the Messiah, but for the German, the Messiah is not the Prince of Peace. He's another Barbarossa... another Hitler.
Professor Charles Rankin: Murder can be a chain, Mary, one link leading to another until it circles your neck. Red was digging at the grave of the man I killed. Yes, your little man. Mary Longstreet: You killed him? Professor Charles Rankin: With these hands. The same hands that have held you close to me.
Mr Wilson: Fore paws muddy. No mud on hind. Dry leaves mixed with the mud. Red must have been digging somewhere in the woods. Noah Longstreet: Have you any idea what for, Mr Wilson? Mr Wilson: A body, I think. Meinike's.
Mary Longstreet: Franz Kindler! Kill me. Kill me, I want you to. I couldn't face life knowing what I've been to you and what I've done to Noah. But when you kill me, don't put your hands on me! (Picks up a fireplace poker) Here! Use this!
Dr Charles Rankin/Franz Kindler: They searched the woods. I watched them, here like God, looking at little ants.
Mr Wilson: Look out the window. Look! Professor Charles Rankin: Well, that's - that's an old trick, Mr Wilson, a very poor trick. Mr Wilson: Tricks. That's all you know is tricks. I don't need any tricks! And no matter what happens to me, tricks won't do YOU any good. You're finished, Herr Franz Kindler.
