Steinhof Quotes in 'Pimpernel' Smith (1941)

Professor Horatio Smith: I'm so glad to find you're not busy, because I've been doing a little research work...

General von Graum: That's just what I wanted to do.

Professor Horatio Smith: ...On the identity of Shakespeare.

General von Graum: I'd like to know how you spent this afternoon.

Professor Horatio Smith: What's the matter with you? You seem upset. I spent the afternoon in the library at the embassy. Now this, this proves conclusively that Shakespeare wasn't really Shakespeare at all.

General von Graum: No?

Professor Horatio Smith: No. He was the Earl of Oxford. Now you can't pretend that the Earl of Oxford was a German, can you?

Professor Horatio Smith: [Speaking to Steinhof] Now, can you?

Steinhof: No! No!

Professor Horatio Smith: Well, there you are.

Steinhof: Herr General, how much longer am I to stand here? Have you anything to say to me?

General von Graum: Please, we have a visitor. I think you have met Professor Smith.

Steinhof: No. Good day. Goodbye.

General von Graum: But you HAVE met Herr Boldenschatz.

Steinhof: Boldenschatz! Do you know Boldenschatz?

Professor Horatio Smith: No. Should I?

Steinhof: Bah! Anyway, I didn't come here to discuss Shakespeare. If you want me, you know where I am.

Professor Horatio Smith: The Earl of Oxford was a very bright Elizabethan light, but this book will tell you he was a good deal more than that.
