Alexandru:
There's a 108 such crosses made of nickel imbedded in the walls of the Keep.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
You counted them? Or is it something you tell your tour customers...
Alexandru:
I am Alexandru. My sons and I work here. No one tours this place.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
I thought the Keep wasn't occupied.
Alexandru:
We go home at night. We live in the village.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Where is the owner?
Alexandru:
I have no idea.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Who is he?
Alexandru:
I don't know.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Who tells you what to do?
Alexandru:
We do what needs doing. My father spent his life doing it. His father before him and so on. My sons will continue after me.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Very well. You may continue your maintenance after we settle in.
Alexandru:
You cannot stay here.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
And why not?
Alexandru:
No one stays here.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
And who forbids it?
Alexandru:
No one forbids. Some travellers have stayed. We don't stop them. But no one stays the night.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Ghosts? Demons?
Alexandru:
No. No ghosts here.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Deaths then? Suicides?
Alexandru:
No one's ever died here.
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Then what drives people out, in the middle of a rainy night?
Alexandru:
Dreams...
Captain Klaus Woermann:
Nightmares? Look, man, the real nightmares man has made upon other men in this war. The bad dreams of your Keep are nursery rhymes by comparison.
