Why do I have to stay here? You may be able to help me with seven unsolved deaths....

Abel Rosenberg: Why do I have to stay here?
Inspector Bauer: You may be able to help me with seven unsolved deaths.
Abel Rosenberg: Tomorrow everything's gonna disappear. Why bother with a few murders?
Inspector Bauer: I'll tell you, Rosenberg. I bother for my own sake. I know that the catastrophe could be here in a few hours. They say the rate of exchange for the dollar is five billion marks. The French have occupied the Ruhr. We have just paid a billion in gold to the British. On every damned job there are Bolshevik agitators. In Munich, a Herr Hitler is preparing a putsch with thousands of starving soldiers and madmen in uniform. We have a government that doesn't know which way to turn. Everyone's afraid. So am I. I can't sleep for fear. Nothing works properly except fear. On Friday I wanted to go to Stettin to see my old mother. She'll be 80. But there was no timetable anymore. There was a train that might go, but no timetable, Rosenberg. Imagine! A Germany without timetables! So what does Inspector Bauer do? Inspector Bauer does his job. He tries to create a little patch of order and reason in the midst of chaos. And he's not alone, Rosenberg. All over Germany, millions and millions of petty officials, just as terrified, are doing exactly the same. You get drunk every day, huh? That's also respectable, Rosenberg. But I'd be happier if you swung about on your trapeze with your pals. That way you'd fight your fear more effectively. So now you know why I sit here, investigating something I think is extremely odd, not to say horrible. And now I must ask you to keep quiet for a few minutes, while I write a few lines to Inspector Lohmann, who is working on another case that also seems insane
