Johann:
We would like you to carry for us 50,000 dollars. We think you're safe; but, we cannot assure you this. The money's Julia's money. With it we can bribe out already many in prison and many who soon will be. I better explain. We are a small group who work against Hitler. We are of no common belief, nor religion. The people, who you will meet for the money, if your consent is given, are some small publishers. We are Catholic, Communists, many beliefs. Do you understand what I'm saying? Lillian:
Yes. Yes. Johann:
We realize you are not the best person for this kind of mission because you're Jewish. But, unfortunately, there's no one else we can ask. Julia said, I must remind you, for her, that you are afraid of being afraid and so you will do what sometimes you can not do. That could be dangerous to you - and to us. So, please, try not to be heroic. Lillian:
I assure you, I will never try to be heroic
