Gerard Reve: Who will be the fourth? You or me! Get that? One of us!
Herman: I don't get it. I'm too stupid to get it, Mr. Writer, sir. I may be an ordinary plumber, but you, you're a raving lunatic!
Gerard Reve: That woman is deadly. Three husbands, three dead bodies! One of us will be the fourth, can't you see that?
