Preissen: The prisoner Bartlett is discharged into your custody, Colonel von Luger.

Herr Kuhn: I suggest the prisoner Bartlett to be kept under the strictest security confinement permanently.

Oberst Von Luger: Make a note of Herr Kuhn's suggestion.

Hauptmann Posen: Jawohl, Herr Oberst.

Herr Kuhn: We have reason to believe this prisoner is the mastermind behind numerous criminal escape attempts.

Oberst Von Luger: [sarcastic] Squadron Leader Bartlett has been three months in your care. And the Gestapo has only "reason to believe"?

SS-Hauptsturmführer: If he once more falls into our hands, he will not be so lucky.

Oberst Von Luger: [sharply] Air force officer prisoners are the responsibility of the Luftwaffe – not the SS! Or, the Gestapo.

Preissen: [condescending] At present, yes, Herr Oberst. That is why they're turned, for the moment, over to your care.

Herr Kuhn: [''Kuhn, Preissen, and the Hauptsturmführer start to leave, but Kuhn stops and looks closely at Bartlett.''] Of course, if the Luftwaffe is not up to the task, the prisoners will find themselves totally in our charge. We, regretfully, are not so professionally understanding. Squadron Leader Bartlett: if you escape again and be caught, you will be shot.
