- King Frederick II: Me freeze, Schenckendorff
- [von Schenckendorf puts his coat on the King]
- King Frederick II: But it's his coat, Schenckendorff. He will freeze then.
- Gen. von Schenkendorf: I don't freeze, Majesty.
- King Frederick II: He has hot blood, Schenckendorff.
- Luise Treskow: [Luise is packing her things and takes some pictures from the wall, a picture of the young King Frederic II] I take all what is dear to me, what still remains. What you haven't burned or shot yet
- King Frederick II: And this picture over there?
- Luise Treskow: It can burn here. Just like he burned our windmill. That's what he made out of this country. Nice father of the country.
- King Frederick II: [to Prince Heinrich senior] You lead a conspiracy against me. Everyone. My own family and I know many of my generals who do. But there is no space for traitors in my state. Also not for those who are born into. They should cut off your head.
