[Reinhard Heydrich and his adjutant trap John Smith at a log cabin]
[as he prepares coffee] What is the power of the films? Do you know why the Führer prizes them so highly?
You'd have to address any questions on that subject to the Führer himself.
The Führer is a spent force, John. We both know that. I don't believe for a second that sharing the land of your birth with the Japanese sits well with you.
I'm sure the Führer has his reasons.
Loyalty is an overrated virtue, John, championed by the bovine, dignified by the weak to justify their weakness. It's certainly not worthy of you.
Neither is betrayal.
Ultimately, John, we owe our hearts and our minds not to any one man but to an idea, and that idea is under threat. It is up to the best of us to step forward now as both the Führer and nature demands. The strong must overcome the weak.
