Danilov: You have to leave now, Mrs. Filipov- Stalingrad may fall! The last of the boats are leaving, the boats will be here any moment!
Tania: He's brought you a pass. You have to gather your things and then we'll help you carry them to the landing.
Mrs. Filipov: I'm not leaving. This is my home. This is my Sacha's home. I can't leave!
Danilov: I have to tell you something, Mrs. Filipov... something very difficult to understand. It's about Sacha.
[Tania and Danilov both hesitate, trying to find an explanation- Sacha has been hung by Koenig.]
Danilov: Sacha has gone over to the Germans. He's betrayed his country. He's with the enemy now; he won't be coming back.
Mrs. Filipov: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's become a traitor! What has he done? So he's going to stay over there?
Tania: Yes. He's going to stay over there.
[Shortly after, the three are making their way to the landing; it is crowded with refugees and under heavy artillery fire]
Mrs. Filipov: I shouldn't be saying this, Comrade Commissar, but maybe it's for the best! If the Germans have won, he'll be safe! I know it's wrong, but- perhaps he's made the right choice!
[After reaching the boats, Mrs. Filipov goes back to a wooden sign with many hand-written letters nailed to it. She leaves one, hoping Sacha will find it when the Germans take the landing]
Mrs. Filipov: [On the note] I am in good health. They are evacuating me to the other bank. Keep well my Sacha.
