"[opening narration] It has been 20 years since the Second World War ended with the failure of the Allied invasion in Normandy. A triumphant Hitler declared victory over Europe and the British Empire. The United States withdrew from the conflict, listening to those like Charles Lindbergh, who had argued against a war with Germany. In the East, only the Russians fought on in a bitter guerrilla war. American efforts turned to retribution for Pearl Harbor. That came in the summer of 1945, with victory over Japan. By then, American General Eisenhower returned to the United States and a humiliating retirement. In 1947, King Edward and Queen Wallis assumed the British throne. Winston Churchill, who had barely escaped with his life after Normandy, died in exile in Canada in May 1953. In the years after the war, country after country of the old Europe had become part of the vast empire of Germania. The Fuhrer's architect, Albert Speer, built a monument to the Thousand-Year Reich. Germania's capital, Berlin, became a Nazi showplace. The SS became a peacetime police force, patrolling clean, orderly streets. As the '50s came to a close, Hitler was able to put a more civilized face on the Greater Reich, but news continued to be tightly controlled. The '60s began with the war with the Soviet Union still dragging on. Hitler desperately needed to conclude a formal peace with the United States and forge an alliance against the Russians, still led by the 85-year-old Joseph Stalin. Hitler saw signs of hope in late 1960 with the election of a new President of the United States. The Fuhrer believed with President Joseph Kennedy Sr. in office, at last there would be someone with whom a deal can be struck. Now in 1964, for the first time in 20 years, Germania's borders are being opened to the Americans. The world press is being invited to cover the Fuhrer's birthday celebration on April 20. There are rumors that President Kennedy will attend a Germanian-American summit conference. An alliance with America would ensure Germania's invulnerability... but there are other more persistent rumors that could threaten Hitler's plans. There were stories that something terrible happened in Germany during the war. That the official Nazi story that Jews and other minorities were relocated to the East, wasn't true. There are also rumors that in the Greater Reich, terrible things are still happening. Television, radio, and newspapers are all controlled by the powerful Ministry of Information. Nobody, in a new Berlin, dares to ask awkward questions."

"It's 1964. What if Hitler had won the war?"

"[closing narration] I used to wonder why she never got out while she had the chance. But she and my father the first to see those images of horror. The first to know, and that somehow linked them forever with each other and the victims. So she sat on until the Gestapo came for her. Everything has changed. Without the American alliance, Hitler's Reich collapsed. Of course, there are some who say it never happened. Those who look and do not see. The years since have been difficult ones, but my father would be proud to know that no longer are we all living in the house of the blind."

"I just want my life back, okay? Now what's it gonna take? You wanna talk turkey? Let's talk turkey! HOW MUCH MONEY?"

"When you got on that plane, I was sure it was over. I left the airport afraid I'd never see you again. And then you showed up the very next day. That was a good surprise. You know, I think about the decision you made... maybe I was being naive, but I believed that we would grow old together in this house. That we'd spend holidays here and have our grandchildren come visit us here. I had this image of us, all grey and wrinkly, and me working in the garden and you re-painting the deck. But things change. If you need this, Jack, if you really need this, I will take these kids from a life they love and I'll take myself from the only home we've ever shared together and I'll move wherever you need to go. I'll do that because I love you. I love you, and that's more important to me than our address. I choose us."

"Lloyd: Open your eyes. In the end you will have to decide for yourself. You alone."

"Edward: Science, it must work to advance all of humanity. Are weapons not part of that? Protecting people from conquer and ruin?"

"Ray: I think Steam Castle is a fantastic invention but it has changed father somehow. He is not as he used to be. Perhaps he has been tricked by the foundation people into doing something wrong. But how can I tell it's him or me?"

"Lloyd: Listen to me, Ray: we invent the enemy through our arrogance and vanity. It comes from our own dark souls. Our forefathers knew neither enemy or alliance. So we must be with science. You are a man of science, Ray."

"Ray: What Father was trying to do, is it really so wrong?"

"Ray: That will depend on who attack us. You can't tell until the war starts."

"Lloyd: Rubbish, science can reveal the First Principle of universe, of life itself. It's not to be wasted on the reckless whining of bankers and salesmen."

"Edward: There have long been steam engines that are capable of high output. But all of them require enormous boilers and numerous cylinders and every one of them absorbs energy. And in every step the system loses its power, so it's severely limited. But here lays around you, Ray, this system loses almost nothing from source to function. And the function is almost without limits."

"Ray: This is incredible. You can stop your enemy cold with these."

"Ray: Steamball . . ."

"Edward: That's it, Ray. It's the first steamball we created. There are three of them now. We built them in Ireland and Alaska. Together they provide all the power of every machinery in this castle."

"Lloyd: You don't know anything, you fool. Just who are these enemy you would kill? Are they Prussian, or French, or English? Well?"

"Ray: That ball!"

"Scarlet: Must you gawk like that? This is nothing compared to Niagara falls."

"Lloyd: Weapons. Built for one purpose, to kill our fellowmen by the thousands. They're invention of the devil."
