You see, I was just going to bed. Then suddenly, I heard a scream. Right away, I ran across the street. And I was one of the first ones to enter this room. On the way upstairs, I heard a voice. And that voice was speaking Italian.
Prefect of Police
Do you speak Italian?
[doubting his accuracy]

No.

Were you ever in Italy?
Franz Odenheimer

Italian, not German.

Danish.
The Dane
German.
Franz Odenheimer
Ich lege meine Hand ans Lügners Feuer das es keiner Deutscher war!
[in German; I put my hand on the Liar's Fire that it wasn't a German!]
The Dane
I say it was German.
[while Montani argues in Italian]
Prefect of Police
Silence!
[while all 3 argue loudly in their native languages]

Italian.
Alberto Montani
Danish.
The Dane
German.
