[Mohn earlier asked Carter to persuade the British prisoners to sign a statement testifying that Mohn treated them as well as can be expected. He has just put his revolver and his stash of money in his bag, in preparation for fleeing, when Carter returns and reads from the document that he is holding]
Flt. Lt. Simon Carter : Sorry to have been so long with this, but it took a lot of time to get everyone's signatures. We got 'em all, even Colonel Preston. It looks nice and official. "We the undersigned wish to confirm that, in his capacity of second-in-command of Oflag IV-C Colditz, Major Horst Mohn was personally for the following: the illegal confiscation and interference with prisoners' mail; the use of radio equipment for the illegal purpose of eavesdropping on prisoners' private conversations..."
Major Horst Mohn : You will regret this, I assure you.
Flt. Lt. Simon Carter : "... the unjustified destruction of prisoners' Red Cross parcels; the execution of three British commandos..."
Major Horst Mohn : I was not responsible for their deaths.
Flt. Lt. Simon Carter : In that nice blue suit, you look almost human. You thinking of leaving us?
Major Horst Mohn : I said I was not responsible for their deaths.
Flt. Lt. Simon Carter : Yeah, I heard you. You can read the rest of this in your own sweet time. Just remember, Major, when this war's over and you're living off your Swiss francs in St Moritz or Istanbul or wherever, remember once in a while to just look over your shoulder.
