- Max Vatan: Okay. Sir, before this thing gets out of hand - may I speak? Hmm? May I speak?
- S.O.E. Official: Yes.
- Max Vatan: Yes? My wife is Marianne Beausejour. Marianne Beausejour ran the most effective resistance circuit in Paris - until V-Section fucked it up for her in '41. We met in Casablanca. Where together we assassinated the German ambassador. She's the mother of my child. She gave birth to my child for Christ sake.
- S.O.E. Official: This is a translated transcript of an interrogation of a German Abwehr officer captured in Tobruk. Amongst many other things, he claims Marianne Beausejour, was arrested and executed in May 1941 when rest of her circuit was captured in Paris. Marianne Beausejour's identity was then given to a German agent, of similar build and coloring, she was flown to Casablanca, where no one knew the real Marianne. And it was subsequently discovered that the German ambassador who you assassinated in Casablanca, was a dissident. Hitler wanted him killed.

- S.O.E. Official: Now Wing Commander, you will go home and carry on as if nothing's happened. You are dismissed.
