Countess Stein : You were always insane, and you still are.
Max : Sane, insane then... hm. Who's to judge?
[referring to himself and Lucia]
Max : And just you remember... we're both in the same boat.

Max : I met her again. A little girl.
Countess Stein : You mean, a little girl from then?
[Max nods]
Max : [clears his throat] I found her again. I found her again. And no one must touch her!
Countess Stein : Who'd dream of touching her?
[Max gestures with his hands in objection]
Countess Stein : Oh, Max, be careful. Before she could testify against you, you should file her away.
Max : Oh. Oh, no.
Countess Stein : But...
Max : No. I love her.
Countess Stein : [shakes her head] What a madman.
Max : She was my little girl.
[close to tears]
Max : She was very young.
Countess Stein : And now she's not.
Max : Yes. Yes, she - she's exactly the same - as she was for me.
Countess Stein : Oh, Max.
Max : As she was then!
Countess Stein : I've never seen you so much in love.
Max : [chocking up] I - I thought she was dead.
Countess Stein : What a romantic story.
Max : No. No, it's - not romantic.
Countess Stein : No?
Max : It's not romantic. It's a biblical story!

Countess Stein : I want to help you. What can I do?
Max : Send me a box of chocolates.
