精彩对白:
Inspector Grubach: Kafka. Kafka, Kafka... Is that your real name?
Kafka: Yes. W-why shouldn't it be?
Oscar: It's not too bad working here, though
Kafka: You've never felt it was a horrible double life from which there was probably no escape but insanity?
Ludwig: Yes!
Oscar: No.
Ludwig: No.
Kafka: So that's who the enemy is. Policemen and file clerks. Law and order, you might say.
Gabriela: You think what we're doing is wrong? What would you suggest, then?
Kafka: Did any of you actually go up to the castle with Edward? You sit around twisting the facts to suit your inbred theories. In my experience the truth is not... that convenient.
Chief Clerk: I know a gentleman who looks like you. In fact he looks more like you than you do yourself.
Inspector's Assistant: Is your name Kafka?
Doctor Murnau: A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question.
Kafka: That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll *never*, *never* reach a man's soul through a lens.
Doctor Murnau: That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?
