Quotes 

• Max : I met her again. A little girl.

  Countess Stein : You mean, a little girl from then?

  [Max nods] 

  Max : [clears his throat]  I found her again. I found her again. And no one must touch her!

  Countess Stein : Who'd dream of touching her?

  [Max gestures with his hands in objection] 

  Countess Stein : Oh, Max, be careful. Before she could testify against you, you should file her away.

  Max : Oh. Oh, no.

  Countess Stein : But...

  Max : No. I love her.

  Countess Stein : [shakes her head]  What a madman.

  Max : She was my little girl.

  [close to tears] 

  Max : She was very young.

  Countess Stein : And now she's not.

  Max : Yes. Yes, she - she's exactly the same - as she was for me.

  Countess Stein : Oh, Max.

  Max : As she was then!

  Countess Stein : I've never seen you so much in love.

  Max : [chocking up]  I - I thought she was dead.

  Countess Stein : What a romantic story.

  Max : No. No, it's - not romantic.

  Countess Stein : No?

  Max : It's not romantic. It's a biblical story!

• Countess Stein : You were always insane, and you still are.

  Max : Sane, insane then... hm. Who's to judge?

  [referring to himself and Lucia] 

  Max : And just you remember... we're both in the same boat.

• Countess Stein : I want to help you. What can I do?

  Max : Send me a box of chocolates.
