"It's called principles, Ernst. Look it up in a dictionary if you don't know what that means."

Friedrich turns to Elberhard.

"I never accused anyone of lying, and the claim that the Margrave is acting like a bully is just ludicrous. If anyone of Brandenburg-Bohemia ever committed a crime, we wouldn't start acting as if we were persecuted little babies as soon as someone called us on it. It's pathetic, and you should be ashamed of yourself, accusing the Margrave of being a 'bully' just because he won't support criminals or criminality. If ever I sunk so low as to behave like you, I'd retire and never respect myself again."
