you make your report.
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. |
