INT. GENERAL'S HOME
( Middle of the evening)

The general is sitting at his desk. The door's ajar. Miss Keller see that her husband seems disturbed. She enters.

MISS KELLER
How are you?

GENERAL
I can't stand it anymore...

MISS KELLER
I don't understand.

GENERAL
This man... is a danger to all. I don't know why the president trusts him so much....

MISS KELLER
He is a great researcher...

GENERAL
And I'm a great general ! He doesn't have to insult me like a dog ! He humiliated me in front of that woman...

MISS KELLER
Madame Dupont ?

GENERAL
I don't know what this woman brings with her. But I hope it saves us.

MISS KELLER
Don't worry about it. If everything we say about this woman is true, the war will soon be over. We will win and the whole world will know General Keller's name.

GENERAL
I hope so... But Schlingler will also win. I couldn't stand the professor any longer. The dome is too narrow for two men like us.

MISS KELLER
Maybe you should talk to the president...

GÉNÉRAL
Shut up, woman! Schlingler is a manipulator. He's manipulating everyone, including the president. When I get back from France, I'll take care of him.

MISS KELLER
Don't do anything you'll regret later.

GENERAL
( screaming in anger)
Go to the room!

MISS KELLER
( perplexed)
I...

GÉNÉRAL
I'll join you...

Miss Keller leaves the office, leaving her husband alone in the face of his anger.
