Consul Raoul Nordling : And if a bomb should miss?
Général Von Choltitz : A few bombs always miss, but others will hit the target. It's the law of averages.
Consul Raoul Nordling : [very softly] A bomb that misses... could hit... Notre Dame. Sainte Chapelle. That's a thousand years of history, turned to dust.
