Marta: And he’ll be home again next Sunday, they said. Eve: You must be ecstatic. Marta: I don’t understand. They lock him up for all these years. Like he was a master spy. He’s sixty years old! Now they turn him loose. There’s still a war on. He still gives tobacco to the German POWs/ He hasn’t lost his accent. Or his opinions. But they send him home. They don’t give any reasons.

[... … …]

Eve: He wouldn’t hurt you, would he? After he comes back? Marta: No, I don’t think so.
