The Train quotes

  • Colonel von Waldheim: Might it not be unwise to leave a billion gold reichsmarks in the Bank of France? Enough money to equip ten panzer divisions?

    General Von Lubitz: Make your point, Colonel.

    Colonel von Waldheim: Money is a weapon. The contents of that Train are as negotiable as gold and more valuable. I feel Berlin would prefer it in the hands of the Third Reich.

  • Mlle. Villard: They must not even be damaged. They could never be replaced. They're not just... Here, I have the list. Renoirs, Cezannes, 64 Picassos, 29 Braques. Degas, Matisse. He chose very carefully. Only the best. The national heritage.
