Helmut Wallenberg:
You're my creation. I invented you. You're my accomplice.
Margherita:
Do anything you want, anything! God knows when I'll see you again.
Helmut Wallenberg:
[looks up]
Very soon.
Margherita:
Wait! I want to make it last as long as possible!
[sits up as she remembers:]
Margherita:
Your wife!
Helmut Wallenberg:
I've sent her away. Even the servant has the day off.
Margherita:
She's still your wife.
Helmut Wallenberg:
You might be powerful enough to get rid of her.
Margherita:
Kiss me. Please kiss me.
[gasps]
Margherita:
This house is no place for illusions.
Helmut Wallenberg:
[dangered, gets up]
I'm not illusions!
[storms off into next room, goes on rampage, upsetting chandelier]
Helmut Wallenberg:
Look! My wife's grandfather was a Jew!
Margherita:
[follows him]
If they find out, that could be dangerous, even for you.
Helmut Wallenberg:
Not when I have the power I deserve. The power of Himmler!
Margherita:
[kneeling in front of him]
You're mad...
Helmut Wallenberg:
I have in my hands the bedroom secrets of everybody in Germany. Ribbentrop, Goebbels, Keitel, Jodl, even Himmler himself. I know the details of every single one of them. Their cocaine intake... their impotence, their perversions, their thieving, their betraying. Their rivalries... Defeatist cowards!
Margherita:
What do your superiors think about it?
Helmut Wallenberg:
They won't have time to think. The original idea wasn't mine... I admit. But I know how I can get rid of them all. At my convenience.
Margherita:
[scoffs]
You have illusions about your power.
Helmut Wallenberg:
No, no, no.
[yanks her up]
Helmut Wallenberg:
Every word is true.
[takes her by the shoulders, shakes her]
Helmut Wallenberg:
It's true!
[shakes her violently]
Helmut Wallenberg:
Get that through your head! I don't give a damn about National Socialism! Just as none of our leaders give a damn! It's a means to an end! Power! They have no ideas, no faith! You are the one with illusions, Margherita... you! And the millions of other Germans who believed in us. It's a way to get you all on our side.
