- German Officer: There were outrages committed in the city last night. The second in command to the military Governor was murdered. Also a girl on a bicycle. We do not complain about the girl. Frenchman have our permission to kill French women if they wish to.
- Jean Louis Chavel: Mangeot, listen to me, I won't let you do it. I don't want to die, God knows I don't want to die! But I can't, you've got a family.
- Michel Mangeot: Yes. But in my family when we say we're going to do something, we do it. It's too late, we did a deal.
- Therese Mangeot: I've got nothing to say to God any more. Mother wanted to know why I don't go to church any more. That I'd lost my faith. But it's the hate that keeps me away. I can't drop my hate at the church door and pick it up an hour later on the way out.

- Jean Louis Chavel: Therese, the hated, is it all gone?
- Therese Mangeot: [tearfully yes]
- Jean Louis Chavel: That's good. That's good, Therese. Good, Therese. You'll be alright now.
