The German phrase for the English expression: To pull every word out of someone - Jemandem etwas aus der Nase ziehen (Indicates: having a difficult time to get any type of information out of a person, it feels like pulling teeth).
Example:
Sie fragte Ihren Freund, wo er letzte Nacht gewesen war. Er zuckte nur mit den Schultern. Sie musste ihm jedes Wort aus der Nase ziehen. - She asked her boyfriend, where he had been last night. He just shrugged his shoulders. She had to pull every word out of him.
