• [The last time they meet] 

  Anna : I never did get that red dress.

  Jan Kubis : And I never saw that football match.

• [Discussing the plan to assassinate Heydrich] 

  Janak : He's been doing the same thing everyday without fail. It never varies. What do you think, Jan?

  Jan Kubis : [pointing to a map]  There's only one place - here. We kill him there as he comes around Holesovice Junction.

  Anna : But he's heavily guarded all the time!

  Jan Kubis : He slows down.

  Anna : You're going to stand there, pointing your guns a few feet from Heydrich, in full view of his escort?

  Karel Curda : We'll never get away with it.

  Jan Kubis : It's the only place.

  Anna : It's suicide!

• Jan Kubis : If it was peacetime, suddenly, now...what would you do?

  Anna : I'd go out and buy a dress. A bright, red dress made of silk.

  Jan Kubis : I'd see a good football match. Maybe get drunk afterwards.

• [first lines] 

  Jozef Gabcík : Jan.

  Jan Kubis : Josef. They sent for you too?

  Jozef Gabcík : Yeah. What the hell is it all about?

• Jan Kubis : Never mind where we are going, we don't even know where we are!

• Anna : I wish I knew you better. I wish we had more time.

  Jan Kubis : You're right. We don't know each other at all. I know nothing about you Anna.

  Anna : You don't even know my real name.

  Jan Kubis : It's not important.
