Kommissar Beizmenne : "I am a bad, conscienceless, godless man, but gold is revered, and so is its owner. The divine strength of gold lies in its being the estranged, alienated and self-alienating essence of Man. It is the alienated property of Men." Sit down here. Did Goetten write that?
Katharina Blum : No, it has nothing to do with Ludwig.
Prosecutor Hach : Gold is revered, and so is its owner! Written by a bank robber, it makes sense.
Katharina Blum : It's by Karl Marx!
Moeding : Probably the early writings.
Kommissar Beizmenne : So you've read Marx?
Katharina Blum : No.
Kommissar Beizmenne : Is that your handwriting?
Katharina Blum : Father Urbanus, a Dominican, wrote it down for me. You can check. Hohenblumenburg Convent.
Prosecutor Hach : You mean you know Marx through the Dominicans? You chose the wrong order.
-
Moeding : Four batteries, an alarm clock, two reels of wire and various tools. A short blond wig. Books: two romances, three crime stories, a biography of Napoleon, and biography of Queen Christina of Sweden, all from a book club. Typically bourgeois literature.

Kommissar Beizmenne : You think she's innocent, Moeding?
Moeding : I see it the other way around. I'd have taken her to my place.
Kommissar Beizmenne : And?
Moeding : The morning after, she'd tell me the police were after her.
Kommissar Beizmenne : You'd turn her in.
Moeding : I probably would. But I suppose an average man would not. Not everyone works for the police.
Kommissar Beizmenne : Anyone who thinks like that doesn't belong in the force, Moeding.

Kommissar Beizmenne : It should come to 104,000. But in fact it shows 162,000.
Moeding : Now and then she visits her mother in Gemmelsbroich.
Kommissar Beizmenne : 50,000 still remain unaccounted for. We have the gas bills. Where did you drive to so often? What were you spying on? Whom did you meet and where?
Katharina Blum : That's right. I just added it up in my mind. I never gave a thought about those expenses. After work, I often go for a drive. Mostly when it rains and when I'm alone. Sometimes I'm home at 5:00 with nothing to do. I know so many women who get drunk alone in front of their TV. That scares me.
