Dr. Vergerus, Minister of Health: The whole evening I've been fighting an unexplainable liking for you and your husband.

Johan Spegel: I've prayed one prayer in my life: Use me, O God! But He never understood what a devoted slave I'd have been. So I was never used... But that too is a lie. Step by step you go into the dark. The movement itself is the only truth.
