STROEBEL. How do you want me to get my data, Commissioner? Shall I
summon the important people involved?

COMMISSIONER [with emphasis]. Only ... the important ... names ...
that's all. By the way, how far have you gone in the case? Have
you taken any further steps?

STROEBEL. No. I will examine the Hochstetter woman in a little
while. ...

COMMISSIONER. And Schmuttermaier? Has he orders to make any
further raids?

STROEBEL. Not yet. I want to read the diary first.

COMMISSIONER. Above all, I do not want him to act without
instructions. People of no importance like to do important things.

STROEBEL. Yes, Commissioner. Your orders will be carried out.

COMMISSIONER. Orders? I never give orders. You have your duties to
perform. I don't care to tell you what to do. ... But there must
be no further raids until I have seen the diary.

STROEBEL. Certainly, Commissioner.

COMMISSIONER. At the same time, don't neglect your duty.
