David: Why do people do such terrible things?
Sophie: Like what?
David: Like beat people, and kill them, and make them prisoners.
Sophie: Most people don't do that, David.
David: My friend Johannes always used to tell me, "Trust no one."
Sophie: Oh, life wouldn't be worth living if you did that, David.

Sophie: David, most people are good.

David: Johannes, I want to escape. You said that if we weren't dead we could change things. But how do you know they're going to let us live?
Johannes: We don't.
David: Then we should leave while we still can.

David's Mother: [David's memory] I love you, David.

---

Maria: Papa said I could have died. You have, too. You're very brave.

---

David: Did I just smile at you?
Maria: Yes. How come?
David: I don't know.
Maria: Is it because you think I look funny?
David: No.
Maria: Then... maybe you love me.

Sophie: You've got a very interesting face. Would you mind if I painted it?
David: What color do you want to paint my face.

---

David: Is that what I look like?
Sophie: To me, yes. That's my impression of you. That's why it's called impressionistic painting. So... What do you see when you look at it.
David: Me.
Sophie: Yes, that's not quite what I meant. You have to look at paintings diffently from the way you look at other things. More closely and see what it says to you.
[pause]
Sophie: Well... when I look at the boy in that painting, I see a very intelligent, very serious person, and a good person, but - there's something about the eyes and the face that seems lost and sad. But that's as far as I can see, because he doesn't want to let the world see any further.
David: Do you really see all that?
David: [laughs] Yes. Yes, I do.

---

David: [holding Sopie's cat] She's so soft. And she's vibrating.
Sophie: She's purring, David.

---

David: Please... don't turn me in.
Sophie: Turn you in to whom?
David: To them. To him. To anyone.
Sophie: I wouldn't dream of turining you in to anybody for any reason. You're quite safe here, David. You're safe.
David: From the guards?
Sophie: From everybody.
