What's your name?
[as Klove starts to serve dinner]

Klove, sir.
Charles Kent
Well, uh, Kove, isn't your master joining us for dinner?
Klove
No, sir. I'm afraid not.
Charles Kent
Is he indisposed?
Klove
He's dead.
Charles Kent
I'm sorry if we appear a little dense. Perhaps you could explain?
[hesitates]
Klove
Explain, sir?
Charles Kent
Yes, you seem to have expected us. Ah, this dinner. our rooms, the carriage... everything.
Klove
You see, sir, my master is dead but instructions were left that the castle should always be ready to receive guests. I am merely carrying out his wishes.
Charles Kent
I see. Who was your master?
Klove
His name was Count Dracula. An old and distinguished family. That is the coat of arms over the fireplace.

Does no one hold the title now?

Questioning Loyalty and Betrayal in War
Jensen
I'm afraid it's not exactly a masterpiece... but I wonder if you can identify this fellow. Think back to Navarone.
[Handing Miller and Mallory a photograph; sees no sign that they recognize anyone in the picture]
Miller
I'd rather not, sir.
Jensen
Nicolai? Yes. Let you down a bit, didn't he?
Mallory
But what about him? Andrea's people had him shot as a traitor, didn't they?
Jensen
Yes, so we were told. In fact, he escaped. He wasn't a traitor. He was a German agent, who we believe is operating now in Yugoslavia with the Partisans, posing as one Captain Lescovar. Now, you both knew Nicolai. In fact, you're the only people we know of can make a positive identification. So I'd like you to go out there and cope.
Miller
Cope, sir?
Mallory
Kill him.
