CLEVE: I can't wait to tell my girlfriend.
That was a joke!
CLEVE: I've never been officially summoned.
I'm not a good citizen, I've never even been to the Bundestag.
I should though, I voted for it!
Come on Krohn, talk to me!
KROHN: I've got a really bad feeling about this.
CLEVE: You mean, this is because...
Well, yes, I mean why else.
But hey, it'll be okay, right?
KROHN: Two soldiers, with no commanding officer, summoned before a secret committee...
...after a mission like this?
KROHN: Honestly, I'd rather be in Shah-i-Kot, at three thousand meters...
... during winter, under mortar fire, than in there.
CLEVE: That bad?
CLEVE: Krohn, we really *** up.
KROHN: That is our problem.
In there? Be nice, friendly, and keep your mouth shut.
CLEVE: Keep my mouth shut...
... or lie?
PILGRIM: Gentlemen?
PILGRIM: That wasn't such a hard question, was it?
In your opinion, has the KSK fulfilled its mission...
... with which it was entrusted by the Bundestag in Afghanistan?
Are you aware of said mission?
HUFNAGEL: Madam colleague, may I suggest that we stick to our agenda.
PILGRIM: Of course, dear colleague.
As soon as our soldiers here stop stonewalling us regarding Operation Silver Lining.
Until such time, I would like to use this opportunity to get a better understanding...
... of whether the political mission we, the parliament, have given our troops is understood.
PILGRIM: Feldwebel Cleve, how would you categorize yourself politically?
CLEVE: Madam representative...
... to be honest, I don't think of myself as political.
PILGRIM: Not political. So you don't vote.
CLEVE: I do, but...
... to be honest, I would rather not talk about that.
PILGRIM: Do you believe in the free and democratic constitution of Germany?
CLEVE: Of course. I have sworn to defend it.
PILGRIM: And in the Bundestag, as the expression of the people's self determination?
CLEVE: That too, yes.
PILGRIM: And how do you feel here,
before a committee of said Bundestag for the first time?
CLEVE: To be honest...
... a little overwhelmed.
PILGRIM: There is no need for that, Feldwebel.
You have nothing to fear here.
PILGRIM: As long as you tell the truth.
