Professor Horatio Smith : I'm so glad to find you're not busy, because I've been doing a little research work...
General von Graum : That's just what I wanted to do.
Professor Horatio Smith : ...On the identity of Shakespeare.
General von Graum : I'd like to know how you spent this afternoon.
Professor Horatio Smith : What's the matter with you? You seem upset. I spent the afternoon in the library at the embassy. Now this, this proves conclusively that Shakespeare wasn't really Shakespeare at all.
General von Graum : No?
Professor Horatio Smith : No. He was the Earl of Oxford. Now you can't pretend that the Earl of Oxford was a German, can you?
Professor Horatio Smith : [Speaking to Steinhof] Now, can you?
Steinhof : No! No!
Professor Horatio Smith : Well, there you are.
Steinhof : Herr General, how much longer am I to stand here? Have you anything to say to me?
General von Graum : Please, we have a visitor. I think you have met Professor Smith.
Steinhof : No. Good day. Goodbye.
General von Graum : But you HAVE met Herr Boldenschatz.
Steinhof : Boldenschatz! Do you know Boldenschatz?
Professor Horatio Smith : No. Should I?
Steinhof : Bah! Anyway, I didn't come here to discuss Shakespeare. If you want me, you know where I am.
Professor Horatio Smith : The Earl of Oxford was a very bright Elizabethan light, but this book will tell you he was a good deal more than that.
