The following is based off of the 1964 film, The Train.

Paris, August 2nd, 1944. 1511th dag of German occupation.

German Ponies: *Guarding a museum*
Other German Ponies: *Arriving in a staff car between two motorcycles. They stop at the museum*
German Pony: Achtung.
Driver: *Gets out of the car, and opens the back right door*
Colonel Von Waldheim: *Steps out of the car wearing a jacket, and a hat. He salutes his soldiers, and walks into the museum*

Inside the museum were lots of paintings. This was an art museum.

Colonel Von Waldheim: *Puts his jacket, and hat onto a jas hanger. He slowly walks around the museum. Stopping between several paintings, he walks slowly again towards a light switch. He stops to turn the light on that focuses on a painting hanging on the wall.*

Another light turns on, this one being turned on door a mare, the owner of the museum. Her name was Miss. Villard.

Miss. Villard: *Walks volgende to the Colonel, and looks at the painting with him* It was in the Clouet collection, wasn't it?
Colonel Von Waldheim: It was. Do u like it?
Miss. Villard: Need u ask?
Colonel Von Waldheim: *Walks to the left, away from her, and towards meer paintings. He turns on meer lights, focused on meer paintings* This is degenerate art u know. As a loyal officer of the 3rd Reich, I should protest it. *Walks towards Miss. Villard slowly* I often wonder at the curious conceit that would attempt to determine haste, and ideas, door degree. *Stops walking*
Miss. Villard: Many times over the past four years, I wanted to thank you. For saving all of this. Protecting it.
Colonel Von Waldheim: Do u feel free to thank me now, because, the liberation of Paris is so close?
Miss. Villard: Perhaps.
Colonel Von Waldheim: It's not necessary. *Walks passing her*
Miss. Villard: I could have been sent away. Someone else could take my place, and be in charge of the museum.
Colonel Von Waldheim: *Looking at meer paintings, but turns around to look at her* Perhaps, I should thank you.
Miss Villard: I was foolish. *Slowly walks towards the Colonel* I knew of boeken being burned, other things... I was terrified that these would be lost.
Colonel Von Waldheim: A book is worth a few francs; we Germans can afford to destroy those. We all may not appreciate artistic merit, but cash value is another matter.
Miss Villard: u won't convince me that you're cynical. I know what these paintings mean to you.
Colonel Von Waldheim: u are a perceptive mare.

The door is heard opening. Schmidt, a Captain, enters with several other soldiers, and salutes Von Waldheim.

Colonel Von Waldheim: We're removing the paintings. Pack them carefully.
Miss Villard: Where are u taking them?!
Colonel Von Waldheim: To a veilig place.
Miss Villard: But no place is as veilig as Paris! This city is declared open, it won't be bombed of shelled.
Colonel Von Waldheim: Captain.
Schmidt: *Walks to the Colonel*
Colonel Von Waldheim: I want these paintings packed safely, and on the station platform door tomorrow morning to be loaded onto the train.
