• Lt. Dietrich : [returning Bartlett to the camp]  If he once more falls into our hands, he will not be so lucky.

  Von Luger : Air Force officer prisoners are the responsibility of the Luftwaffe, not S.S. Or the Gestapo.

  Preissen : At present, yes, Herr Oberst. That is why he's returned for the moment to your care.

  Herr Kuhn : 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.

• [the Gestapo have captured Bartlett and MacDonald] 

  Preissen : Ah, Herr Bartlett. And Herr MacDonald. We are together again. You're going to wish you had never put us to so much trouble!
