Fear (1954)

Elisabeth Wischert: Mary

Quotes 

• Irene Wagner : Don't you think you were too severe?

  Mady : No.

  Irene Wagner : But she told the truth.

  Mady : Yes, but, when? When she had no other way out. When she understood that she couldn't lie anymore. No. She must be punished for her obstinate refusal to confess. I don't understand how a person can be guilty of a serious wrong and not have the courage to confess.

  Irene Wagner : Maybe she was ashamed. We're all ashamed in front of those who are closest to us, those we love.

• Irene Wagner : Mary, here's your present.

  Mady : I wanted a rifle!

  Irene Wagner : Girls don't play with rifles! No rifle for you .

  Mady : But you bought one for Bubi.

  Irene Wagner : Come sit next to me. Come on, let's see what is in this package. Can you guess what it is? Do you like it?

  Mady : I don't want it.
