Goodnight ladies

Goodnight ladies

Goodnight ladies

We draw you now

- Silence.

Go to sleep.

- If you're looking for dames,

there aren't enough to go around.

- Oh, wanted me, sir?

- Yes, come.

Anybody come in here just now?

- There's no one here

but the English party.

- So.

- I haven't seen anyone, sir.

- Are you sure?

- Yes sir, I have been

here since I came off duty.

- So.

Well he's in Switzerland by now.

There'll be the devil to pay for this!

Get your post.

- You don't expect me to

believe that nonsense?

- Yes I do.

- It couldn't be the same man.

- It might be.

- It couldn't be!

Here, here, here, here, here!

He couldn't be everywhere.

- He could.

- And last night here

on the Swiss frontier.

Let's go see how the

reports are coming in.

- Right.

- What's the latest about Planker?

- Oh a message from Breslov.

No information regarding

identity of unknown man

who assisted in Karl Planker's escape.

- Still no news of this fellow.

Means trouble for someone.

Any news?

- Message from Hamburg.

No information regarding

identity of unknown man

who prevented the

execution of Josef Fiatz.

- Breslaw, Hamburg, Belgian

frontier, French frontier.

All the same, no news.

- Planker seems to have got away.

- Over the Swiss border, same

as Josefs and Blumenfeld.

- Shankenhurst went through Holland.

But it's this damn shadow

that Graum's after,

if we can believe in it.

- Well I do.

- You call this thing a report?

What is the use, Herr

Kommandant, of the gestapo

arresting enemies of the

Reich if you permit them

to escape?

- Every precaution was taken.

- That's no excuse for your conduct.

- We are answerable for our

conduct to General von Graum,

not to his assistant.

Kindly have my report delivered.

- I'm afraid you'll regret

that, Herr Kommandant.

Please wait outside.

Schmidt?

Take this report to General von Graum.

- Yes sir.

Oh, don't you think?

- At once!

- Yes sir.

Get out, you!

- Oh, Hoffman.

- Yes?

Oh, hello Schmidt.

- Take this report in there.

- What is it?

- Another report from

the prison kommandant

about Karl Planker's escape.

- I'm sorry, just going to have my lunch.

- Hoffman, this is an order.

- Herr Reich Minister.

- Know your enemy.

I am told that the English

have a secret weapon.

Their sense of humor, and

I am determined to find out

all about it.

For instance.

PG Wodehouse.

Listen.

"The man with the beard sighed.

"Down in the forest something stirred."

Is that funny?

- No, it's not funny.

- Good.

Now, the famous English

humoristic journal Punch.

"Young lady at telephone.

"You say you have met an

officer and a gentleman.

"Well, bring them both up."
