Edith Enley : Suppose there is a grain of truth to it. Suppose you did have some kind of trouble with him. I can understand how something like that could happen in a prison camp.
Frank R. Enley : No. You don't know what happened.
Edith Enley : What was it Frank? Whatever you did you must have had reasons.
Frank R. Enley : You can always find reasons. Even the Nazis had reasons.

Edith Enley : Oh, I know you went through some bad times in the war. I know somethings must have happened that hurt you. I never asked. But, I am asking now, Frank. I want to know.

Edith Enley : Frank, I still don't understand, why...
Frank R. Enley : Edith, a lot of things happened in the war that you wouldn't understand. Why should you? I don't understand them myself.

Edith Enley : Frank he had a gun. He wanted to kill you! You've got to think of yourself. Frank, we've got to do something!
Frank R. Enley : There's nothing to do.
Edith Enley : Frank? A man's trying to murder you. Of course, there's something you can do. And if you won't do it, I will!
Frank R. Enley : No. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing anybody can do.

Edith Enley : What did you mean when you said he'd make a scene? Did you mean he might be - violent?
Frank R. Enley : He might be.

Edith Enley : I've thought a lot about a lot of things, since I saw you. Ever since I first knew you, Frank, and up until yesterday, I thought you were the finest, most wonderful man in the whole world. Just that. Now, I know that you're just like everybody else. You have faults and weaknesses. If I hadn't been so young and silly I would have known it all along. It wouldn't have been such a shock to find it out now. But that doesn't mean that I don't love you.
