- Mrs. Caypor: Do you understand German, Mr. Marvin?
- Robert Marvin: Not a word. But I speak it fluently.
- Edgar Brodie: Oh, I'm to have an assistant, am I?
- 'R': Yes, and in the circumstances, a very useful one. We call him the "Hairless Mexican".
- Edgar Brodie: Oh? Why?
- 'R': Well, chiefly because he's got a lot of curly hair and isn't a Mexican. You can call him The General. He isn't a general, but he'll appreciate the compliment.
- Edgar Brodie: We aren't hunting a fox, we're hunting a man. He's an oldish man, with a wife. Oh, I know it's war and it's our job to do it, but that doesn't prevent it being murder - simple murder!
