Otto Quangel:
What do you think happens to our cards? Anna Quangel:
Why do you want to know? Otto Quangel:
I want to know how people react. Anna Quangel:
Some people will be afraid, probably. Afraid that someone may have watched them pick up the card. Some will, maybe, put them back. Some people will turn them in to a policeman... but, our cards will also be read by them too. Otto Quangel:
Its like with a machine. A little sand in the gears will not stop the machine. But, if a person throws a little more sand and then more, the motor begins to stutter. The assembly line stops. In my mind, I see lots of people throwing sand into the gears. Anna Quangel:
You are a romantic, Otto Quangel. Otto Quangel:
I'm a mechanic. Anna Quangel:
Ya, that too
