Kruger Stelman : I want to ask you Captain... what are my chances?
James Phelps : At your age? Not very good.
Kruger Stelman : Do not misunderstand me, Captain. I'm not trying to save my skin. I'm thinking about something Rednitz said.
James Phelps : Herr Rednitz said many things, most of them eminently forgettable.
Kruger Stelman : Not this. He said I would die a traitor.
James Phelps : Schtelman, you yourself know whether or not you disclosed the information. That should be enough.
Kruger Stelman : No, Captain, it is not enough. Not for me. You are a younger, fitter man. Your chance of survival is much greater than mine. Take the account number, prove to them I never cracked.
James Phelps : No, thank you, Herr Schtelman. I am a seaman, not a politician.
Kruger Stelman : Captain. Captain, take it, the number.
James Phelps : I am not interested, Schtelman.
Kruger Stelman : My old SS number, 7-7-3-2-6. Do you hear, Captain? Zurich National Bank, double seven-3-2-6! Do you hear, Captain? The account number. Zurich National Bank, 7-7-3-2-6, 7-7-3-2-6! Captain! Captain, the account number! 7-7-3-2-6! 7-7-3-2-6! Seven-seven, Captain! 3-2-6.

[last lines]
[Schtelman emerging from the fake submarine to find Sardner]
Kruger Stelman : Congratulations, Sardner. After 25 years, you finally got the information out of me.
[Sardner starts laughing]
-
Kruger Stelman : I have no information.
Colonel Jaroslav Sardner : I wonder- how many times have you used that sentence, Herr Schtelman?
Kruger Stelman : In the last 25 years, more times than I can remember, Colonel. To you, your predecessor, his predecessor. In rat-infested cellblocks, in palatial offices, in seamy hotel interrogation rooms. Every conceivable setting for my one simple performance line: "I have no Information to give you."
-
Kruger Stelman : If my people remember me at all, Colonel, they will say "Kruger Schtelman, a soldier - he could not be broken!"
-
Kruger Stelman : She's still alive!
James Phelps : And I say she is dead.
