The Trial (1962)

Madeleine Robinson: Mrs. Grubach

Quotes 

• Mrs. Grubach : It seems you are under arrest, Mr K.

  Joseph K. : Yes, I know that.

  Mrs. Grubach : But not the way a thief's put under arrest. No, with your arrest, I get the feeling of something abstract, if you see what I mean.

  Joseph K. : It's so abstract, I can't even consider that it applies to me!

• Joseph K. : What time does she go to work?

  Mrs. Grubach : I believe she has to be dressed or undressed for that first performance at midnight.

• Mrs. Grubach : You may have wondered why I continue to rent my second best room to a woman of that sort.

  Joseph K. : What do you mean?

  Mrs. Grubach : Why, theatricals, Mr K! This isn't really the place for them as I'm sure you'll agree.
