I mean, I can't believe all this is happening to me. I can't get the thought out of my head – maybe this is all a dream and I'll wake up soon.
MEIHIOU: Yes, I suppose it's expected to feel that way.
LENARD: I mean – all this seems like a big nonsense to me.
MEIHIOU: (sternly) Nonsense, Mr. Voul?
LENARD: Well, yes. I mean, I've always been an open person, sociable – I get along well with people, I make friends, so to speak. I mean… I'm not the type to do such things – you know, I'm not violent. (Pause.) But maybe everything will… be fine, I'm saying now, huh? I mean, they never convict you in this country for things you haven't done, right?
MEIHIOU: Our legal system is, in my opinion, the best in the world. (LENARD is not very reassured.)
LENARD: Of course, there was also that case of – what was his name – Adolf Beck. I was reading about it the other day. They imprisoned him for many years, and then they found out it was someone else after all, a Smith. And then he was pardoned. Isn't that strange?
