    To Be or Not to Be quotes

    • Professor Alexander Siletsky: Mrs. Tura, you're an actress aren't you?

      Maria Tura: Yes.

      Professor Alexander Siletsky: And naturally in the theater it's important that you chose the right part.

      Maria Tura: Very.

      Professor Alexander Siletsky: But, in real life it's even more important that you chose the right side.

      Maria Tura: The right side? Well, what is the right side?

      Professor Alexander Siletsky: The winning side.

    • Professor Alexander Siletsky: Here in Warsaw there are a lot of people that we know very well and there are a lot of people that we don't know quite so well and would like to know them a great deal better. And that's were you could help us, Mrs. Tura.

      Maria Tura: Oh, you want me to be a spy!

      Professor Alexander Siletsky: Oh, now, come, come, come. That's rather a crude word.

      Maria Tura: You know, I once played a spy. It was a great success. I had wonderful notices. It was really an exciting part.

      Professor Alexander Siletsky: Well, wouldn't it be exciting to play it in real life?

      Maria Tura: Well, I got shot in the last act. I suppose that happens to most spies.
