Prosecutor Hach : I've seen you somewhere before.
Katharina Blum : Yes. I work for the Blornas.
Prosecutor Hach : Please get dressed. It looks bad when you're parading half naked in front of your employees.
Katharina Blum : I'm not parading. I'm at home.
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.
Kommissar Beizmenne : Did he fuck you?
Katharina Blum : I wouldn't use that word.
Kommissar Beizmenne : Goetten's advances didn't bother you?
Katharina Blum : Ludwig didn't make advances. He was tender.
Kommissar Beizmenne : Same thing.
Katharina Blum : It is not! Advances are a one-sided action, and tenderness is quite different. It comes from both parties.
Ludwig Götten : Your name is Katharina?
Katharina Blum : And yours?
Ludwig Götten : Ludwig.
Katharina Blum : I haven't called a man by his first name in ages.
Ludwig Götten : How long?
Katharina Blum : Four years. No, five.
Katharina Blum : These people are murderers. All of them. It's their very business to rob innocent people of their honor, often too take their lives. Otherwise nobody would buy their papers.
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.
