All language subtitles for 1930. Georg Wilhelm Pabst - Skandal um Eva (EN)

Ladies and gentlemen, let's move back 60 years in time

the darling of German silent cinema, Henny Porten,
made her first sound film

under the direction of Georg Wilhelm Pabst.

What other actors only managed with great difficulty,
the transition to sound film,

wasn't a problem for her.

In the flick "Scandal about Eve"
she continues pursuing her image as motherly Venus.

Henny Porten had been the star of cinema's infant days,
and even a bit longer.

When Max Skladanowsky presented his bioscope
in the Berlin Wintergarten in 1895

she had been five years old.

Henny Porten, a cinema idol of yesterday.

Belsazar by Heinrich Heine

Midnight drew nearer already;
In mute rest lay Babylon.

don't get distracted, my child

go on

- midnight...
- Midnight drew nearer already, In mute rest lay Babylon.

Only above, in the king's castle,
lights are flickering and the king's retinue makes noise.

what's going on up there?

how should I know,
since I'm sitting down here

but this is incredible!

you don't have to tell me!

so go on

children, not so loud

congratulations on your engagement

children, you're really great

but ladies!

what is the meaning of this?

well, Fr�ulein Doktor, I don't understand...

congratulations on the engagement
of our dear teacher
the class of lower Prima

congratulations

thank you, Director

Fr�ulein Doktor

may I speak to you for a moment?

coming

Director?

you must realize, Fr�ulein Doktor

it's not possible...

that your class...

always makes an exception

the colleagues are complaining to me anyway...

that I ... uh...

preferred...

you...

Director

you won't hear any more complaints

Director

give my love to Frau Belsazar
from the part of Heinrich Heine

well...

I got myself a nice dressing-down out there
because of you

let's forget it

children, now back to your studies

silence

so, in the last lesson we studied....

the plans of the Italian cities

I'd like to hear from you
something characteristic about...

the city plan of...

of Venice

the German honeymooners
having gondola trips on the canals

children, that's enough

otherwise I'll give you a good spanking

listen to me, seriously

if you're not reasonable now...

then I won't take you out for the excursion today

you see?

so, Fr�ulein Ilse Baumann

come here

draw me the map of Venice on the board

let's go

apothecary Gallert and spouse

the oldest firm in this town

congratulate on the engagement

uncle Hugo writes...

aunt Adelheid also joins in the congratulations

what's this?

no sender on this one?

but the letter has a really confidential smell

open it then

"if you want to be and remain happy with your wife"

then use our perfume "sexapple"

"sexapple" ?

must be a dealer in apples

I see

morning, Wilhelm

good day, Miss

I only wanted to...

if the Minister permits...

I'd like to use the phone

I permit

we permit

- yes sir
- yes sir

- I just wanted to...very quickly
- but what is it you wanted, very quickly?

- we won't see each other for two whole days
- indeed

I'm leaving for our excursion with the girls

- how sweet of you that you came by before
- it is

my darling

what's the matter?

what's all this?

- are all those letters of congratulation?
- all of it

we'll be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary
before having answered them

my goodness!

good day, Under-Secretary

I thank you for the beautiful roses

don't mention it

I think you went into a lot of trouble

I've an important document to sign,
be so kind...

and have a look at those letters

with pleasure. I've half an hour to spare anyway

- I must absolutely have your opinion...
- yes my boy, come with me

well, my boy...

because of the girls' school

speaking about girls' schools, I've heard a wonderful joke,
listen to me...

a school inspector arrives at a girls' school

- he asks the first girl: what's your name?
- Annie Braun

- he asks the second girl: what's your name?
- Jessie Braun

the third girl answers: Emilie Braun

How's that, he asks,
are you sisters?

yes we are

what does your father do?

he's a baker

how many other brothers and sisters do you have?

fourteen

When does your father bake then?

Dear Dr. Hiller! I wanted to give you some of our news again.
We received your monthly payments punctually.
Your little Gustav....

Your little Gustav is in good health.
For his four years he is very tall. My husband thinks so too,
since you've never seen the boy who is your own...

well...

that was an excellent joke

in the affair you mentioned
I'll have to reserve my decision for later

good-bye, Fr�ulein Doktor

good-bye, Under-Secretary

what's the matter?

what should be the matter?

you're so different, so strange

what's the matter with you?

what should be the matter with me?

nothing

I'm very gay

I'm going to make a nice "party"

ah, meaning me!

I don't

the "party" to the country with my girls
("Partie": 1. advantageous marriage, 2. trip)

now it's high time for me to go

good-bye, darling

won't you kiss me?

alright

- good-bye
- what that supposed to be a kiss?

is that all?

you can have another one

# a boy left home to see the world

# even though his sweetheart cared for him,
he had no luck

# and he wandered in the summertime
when the wild roses are in bloom in the woods

# and he wandered in the summertime
when the roses are in bloom in the woods

# the girl hid her sorrow in her bedchamber

# she couldn't tell anybody,
she waited for him for years

# and she looked across the heath in the summertime
when the wild roses are in bloom in the woods

# and she looked across the heath in the summertime
when the roses are in bloom in the woods

# a rider came along,
his hair waving in the wind

# tell me, do you still love me,
my dearest child?

# and they kissed deeply in the summertime
when the wild roses are in bloom in the woods

# and they kissed deeply in the summertime
when the roses are in bloom in the woods

hey, woman, come here!

taste it

man, this is much too strong for the kids

here they are

that's fine

- good day, Fr�ulein Doktor
- good day, Herr Kessler

that's nice that you've thought of us again

but I know where to find good food

what tasty dishes have you prepared for us today?

this is great fun for the girls

what a party!

that'll do!

let's have something to eat first

later you can dance as much as you like

- what's for dinner?
- something fine

# a beetle sat on the fence

# brumm brumm brumm

# a fly in the green grass

# say, fly, do you want to marry me?
brumm brumm brumm

# I've still got three ducats left

# brumm brumm brumm

# I wish I were a lady

I protest!

there can be no question of being surfeited

on the contrary

I'm starved

good evening, ladies

Fr�ulein Doktor

please, we want to check if our beds are ready

aren't you glad I've come?

but I am

it hadn't been easy to absent myself from the office

I left a lot of work on my desk

is that so?

that's terribly sweet of you

because I have an important announcement to make

really?

what is it?

I love you very much

that's big news indeed

well, your health

your health

to our children

why?

why not?

don't you want to have any?

of course I do, on the contrary,
as much as you like

eight

eight?

you're exaggerating

let's say "half eight"

- you, Kurtie
- what is it?

- do you know what I wish for?
- what is it?

our first child must be a boy

alright

let's toast to our boy

a toast to the boy

what, another two?

waiter, please another cuckoo

listen

I've even thought it out,
if it's really a boy...

do you know how we shall name him?

his name shall be Gustav

- yes Gustav
- that's awful

- such a pretty name
- I cannot stand the name, Gustav

- but I like it
- no no I...

but it makes no sense,
anybody is called Gustav nowadays

you know what I think:
a boy of yours absolutely has to be called Gustav

really?

alright, let him also be called Gustav

why "also"?

I mean, let him be called Gustav after all

you see, we agree once more

to our future

to our future

and...

what about our past?

the past is past

past

you see, I find it really beautiful

the way there never is any misunderstanding between us

isn't it?

so, a toast to our future

what's this?

back already?

and how!

what happened?

you'll be surprised, I tell you

what is it?

just imagine, K�the

my dear bridegroom, our

our esteemed Herr Minister

Herr Dr. Kurt Hiller

has a child

go away!

yes sir

the boy's called Gustav

he's four years old

and lives in Plei�a (in Saxony)

someone must have "strapped a bear onto you"
(fooled you)

have a look at this "bear"

here you are

well, this is...

this is strong stuff

and the funny thing is

now I love the criminal twice as much

you're crazy

(with Saxon accent)
this is the letter I wrote to the Herr Minister

isn't it?

that's the one

but...

if you want to take the little Gustav away with you

then you'll have to show us your identification

with pleasure

the announcement of my engagement

and my passport

that's her

that's you

if you allow me

if we hand the little Gustav over to you like that

what will the Herr Minister say?

you can really entrust the boy to me

I want to make a surprise to my fianc�

but let me ask you something

who is the boy's mother?

well

Gustav's mother...

Good God

the Lisbeth

who is my sister

now she's with the baker from the next village

and he mustn't know about the whole story

the poor boy

tell me, Frau Schlotterbeck

may I see him?

of course you may

but you must be quiet

he's asleep

very quiet

Good God, how sweet

tell me

are his eyes as beautiful as his father's?

that big

no, no, you can say anything you like

there must be a reason why she left so suddenly

and she didn't tell me where she went

and ...
listen to me

but I couldn't go hungry because of you

listen to this: at the end she writes...

she has to settle an important family matter

but this is downright mysterious

mysterious!

you're in no position
to complain about secrecy

secrecy!

first, this is a completely different matter

and the thing about my son

I wanted to tell her about it any day

then go ahead and tell her

of course I'll tell her

I'll tell her

what if she breaks the engagement?

then don't tell her

I see, I won't tell her

then I won't tell her, but...

but I'll have to tell her one day

then tell her

tell her, don't tell her, tell her...

tell her, tell...

is that all the wisdom you have to give?

why do I have to be wise?

you're the Minister

one shouldn't ask one's subordinates for advice

and now I wonder why I'm a Minister

you see, if you had asked me for advice,
I would have advised you not to touch that

now, Gustl, let's sing it

yes

let's go

# hopp hopp hopp

# little horse, gallop

# across stick and stone

# but don't break your legs

# hopp hopp hopp hopp hopp

# little horse, gallop

finished - out

you, little Gustl

tell me again, who am I?

my mummy

now we're finished

come on, Gustl, let's get dressed

come here, my heart's darling

let's put on your coat

my boy

Fr�ulein Doktor, after all it is hard

to take leave of the little one

don't worry, Frau Schlotterbeck

we'll visit you very often

won't we, Gustl?

here you are, my sweetheart, now we must leave

but won't the Minister be angry?

don't worry, Frau Schlotterbeck

I'll take care of that

good-bye, and thank you

my heart's darling, my good one

good-bye

now we're going to my daddy

that's right, to daddy

isn't he sweet?

he is

what a stuck-up twit

incredible

- good morning, Severin
- good day, Minister

allow me to congratulate you in person

is Fr�ulein Doktor here too?

she'll be here any minute

good-bye

good-bye

good day, Frau Brandt

I'd like to buy a banana for the boy

with pleasure

here you are, my boy

Frau Brandt, what a sweet boy you have

a visitor?

yes

for a few days

one of my nephews

you can tell by the family resemblance

really?

I'd like to pay now

10 pfennigs

here you are

and send me oranges, tomatoes, rhubarb

- and potatoes, how much are they?
- new potatoes, the pound 25 pfennigs

good morning, my dear

it's been a real pleasure when I...

when I heard...

young lovers are better left alone

good-bye

good-bye

where have you been?

but my boy, I wrote to you

I had to look after an important family matter

an important family matter?

a family matter which is little embarrassing

an embarrassing family matter?

mummy, mummy

mummy, mummy

mummy, there you are

mummy

he said "mummy"?

what's the meaning of this?

she has a child?

But this is a scandal!

mummy

what's the meaning of this?

the urchin calls you mummy?

is this your child?

do I get an answer?

yes or no?

don't shout at my mummy!

let me at least explain...

this is enough!

I know what's up

come come

The Fr�ulein has a child!

why shouldn't she have one?

what's the big deal

But this is a scandal!

but this is incredible!

but this is unheard of!

- are you free?
- yes sir

say...

don't you want to listen to me at all?

I don't need to listen to anything,
I'm seeing enough

a decent person explains about such things
before the engagement

you're perfectly right

a decent person explains about such things
before the engagement

Bergmannstr. 24

yes, Fr�ulein Doktor

how long it takes

how long

that's why one is a Minister

- what a weird moralizer you are
- why?

you've got a child,
she's got a child

it's a nice round affair

hallo, Plei�a?

Plei�a post-office?

did you call Frau Schlotterbeck?

did you call Frau Schlotterbeck?

don't you understand, let me spell it...

S C H, like sh... sliced honey

Schlotterbeck, that's the name

Frau Schlotterbeck is standing right next to me,
one moment

here you are, Frau Schlotterbeck

this is the Schlotterbeck woman

wrong

what is it?

hallo, Frau Schlotterbeck

Frau Schlotterbeck

I can't understand you

you must speak louder

and clearer

Frau Schlotterbeck, you're to take the next train
with Gustav and come here at once

I can't understand you

you must speak clearer

Good God

let me speak

what's the matter?

take the next train with Gustav and come here at once

this is Herr Schlotterbeck speaking

what's the matter?

speak German with me

we only understand German

what's the matter?

with Gustav! yes...hallo...

hallo, Miss....

Miss

hallo Miss

this is the Minister for Education Hiller

please deliver my message

yes, Minister

let me have this

could you repeat

Frau Schlotterbeck is to take the next train
with Gustav and go to Minister Hiller

did you understand?

yes I did

Frau Schlotterbeck is to take Gustav at once to Minister Hiller

- the Gustav!
- look at that

so did the Schlotterbecks understand everything?

bring Gustav here to me

yes Minister

thank God, thank you

this is ridiculous!

even if you find ten excuses for him, K�the

you ought to have seen the way he behaved

treating me like some depraved woman before all those people

Maybe you should have told him the truth after all

- nonsense!
- you'll see, the engagement will break up

go away!

you, K�the

I'm telling you, he'll be...

he'll be that small

that small he'll be

you can bet on it

of all things, being himself deep in the mud
and playing the chaste Joseph

I like that!

hallo

Eva, Plei�a

hallo

yes, Eva R�ttgers speaking

Frau Schlotterbeck

what was that?

what's happened?

he called them

don't get exited

I'll take care of everything around here

yes sir, everything's in order

good-bye

(with Saxon accent)
good-bye Frau Schlotterbeck

the scandal is spreading more and more

the parents' council has paid me a visit

they demand Fr�ulein R�ttgers' immediate dismissal

the telephone keeps ringing

and it's not even established if it's her child

what?

not her child?

good God!

the boy runs towards the little bride and shouts "mama"

not her child!

of course, you're taking the side of the Minister's fianc�e

this is ridiculous, I know...

I know from a most reliable source

the Minister has already sent back the ring

there are still men in this world!

we're not here to discuss the Minister's fianc�e

we're dealing with the fact
that a lady teacher of our establishment

is reputed to have an illegitimate child

- this child...
- has fallen from the skies

please refrain from making those remarks

"we cannot empty the child out with the bathwater"

what is it, Muncke?

I beg your pardon, Director

outside has been waiting for some time...

For God's sake, who is it?

Herr Steinlechner

of the "Cleansing" party

here we go

good evening

I've come on behalf of the Cleansing party

excuse my stormy intrusion

the fact that I'm the editor of the newspaper "The Naked Truth"

has nothing to do with my visit.

and I don't want...

any informations for the paper, but I have come to demand...

in the name of my party,
for clarifications in the R�ttgers case.

You must realize that the Cleansing party especially,
after today's incident

demands...

that every dark spot in the teachers staff of the Margarethen Lyceum
is to be burnt out.

Allow me...

No, my party won't make any allowances!

Why wasn't the background of that so-called lady teacher
been investigated before hiring her?

Fr�ulein R�ttgers' parents enjoyed the best reputation.

the very best reputation

wasn't it so?

ladies and gentlemen, I realize

that you intend to protect her misbehavior.

But the "Naked Truth" will open a campaign against those elements

who aren't worthy to be the educators of your youth

and the Cleansing party

will without any mercy investigate with searchlights
into lives the of the whole teaching staff

if that Fr�ulein R�ttgers doesn't ask for her dismissal within 24 hours

one has to set an example around here

I have nothing more to add to my words

only this: behind me stands my party

behind me stands the whole town

behind me stand the people

behind me stands...

you'll "be reading from me"

investigate with searchlights!

burn out dark spots!

Cleansing party

investigate with searchlights!

set an example!

maybe Fr�ulein R�ttgers can be convinced
to ask for her dismissal herself

that woman?
she'll even brag about the child!

I especially like those questions in the City Parliament

but my boy!

but you must let mummy do her work

look here, I won't be able to get anything done
if you disturb me all the time

isn't it so?
run along, play on your own for a while

and you won't disturb me?

no? great

you see? this is pretty

you see, this is beautiful

boy!

what are you doing?

my little man, what if you had fallen down?

I won't fall down

you're just saying that

what's going on here?

nothing

shall I take the boy off your hands
if he disturbs you?

that isn't necessary

but perhaps, if you have anything
I could get him interested in...

let me see...
now I'll bring you a beautiful picture book

hallo yes

now let's see what auntie is bringing us

I'm very heavy, mummy

and how!

here you are, a beautiful picture book

he'll tear your beautiful album apart

doesn't matter

they are only photographs of my husband's student days

one daddy, another daddy

another daddy

another daddy

another daddy

another daddy

please go in

you?

yes

- good day
- good day

I have to talk to you

K�the, would you take the boy for a moment?

with pleasure

I have to talk with you seriously

as you wish

what's the matter?

won't you come in?

I have to talk with you seriously

why so formal?

- a cigarette?
- no thank you

be so good and fetch me that chair over there

- but you'll have a cognac?
- no thank you

I have to talk with you seriously

shoot

isn't my boy's piano playing just adorable?

I couldn't say,
I know nothing about music

of course, this morning

I had been nervous

understandably nervous,
about today's incident

you can say this again

when all of a sudden, like risen from the sky,

like fallen from the earth

one enormously tall boy stands before me

one might....

look at this

isn't he a beauty?

they called him "the wild Emilio"

every woman had been under his spell

what kind of album is that?

oh, I came across it just a moment ago

and who wouldn't love to browse in old remembrances

but this is a strapping fellow!

should this wild Emilio...

tell me!

who is the father?

well

who could say?

Eva

Professor Hagen has arrived

I'll show him into the salon

say, what does the old nutcracker want of me
at such a late hour?

don't you know what's going on?

they demand your dismissal

there's been an enormous scandal in town

what?

what are they demanding?

they want to remove me from my office?

I'll take care of that!

ah Professor

the later the evening,
the more beautiful the guests

too kind, Fr�ulein R�ttgers

permit me ???

my dear Fr�ulein Doktor

let me say first that I shall only speak in your own interests

any selfish motive would be utterly incompatible to my way of thinking

my dear Fr�ulein Doktor

why do you want to wait till they... because of this...

little embarrassing...

trifling... till they...

take your chair and drag it outside the door
(dismiss you from your job)

I thank you kindly for your friendly advice, Professor

but I'll have to think it over carefully

taking leave so suddenly...

but you don't have time to think it over!

you must act at once!

but I couldn't possibly be hasty for such an important decision!

you don't realize with what glee that Cleansing party will jump upon us

what was that?

jump upon "us"?

so upon you too?

yes

"upon us"

they want to investigate our earlier private lives with searchlights

but let them investigate with searchlights

nobody except myself has anything to fear

please, no light!

dear Eva...yes

dear dearest Eva

dearest Fr�ulein Doktor, permit me, here...

dearest Eva

to address you like this, like in old times, when you were...

when you were still my pupil

let me speak to you as one human being to another

my dear Eva

I have a confession to make

one moment

where is it...

where have I put it...

this police fine is 20 years old

but this "Naked Truth" doesn't refrain from digging into any mud

causing public offense!

if this comes out I'm....

I'm a broken man

well, my little Professor

what did we commit for those 10 marks?

hmm?

it was all completely harmless

totally harmless

you know, at the time there didn't exist any family swimming baths

between the ladies' and the men's bath there was such a...

such a wall, made of wooden planks

and in those planks there was...

there was such a.... such a...

such a small knot-hole

wasn't it?

and we risked a look or two, didn't we?

and we did a bit of peeping, didn't we?

and the little peeper got caught, didn't he?

I'd like to speak to Fr�ulein Eva R�ttgers

please come in

won't you take off your veil?

no, I'd rather not

one moment

Eva

Frau Oberstudienrat* Vulpius would like to speak to you
(* superior teacher in a gymnasium)

coming

take this

don't be so nervous

go in here

no one will see you there

in heaven's name, tell nobody that I'm here

but I'm discreet

forgive me, Frau Oberstudienrat,
that I've kept you waiting

please no light!

as you wish

won't you come inside?

is anybody here?

nobody

we're all alone

thank God

let me call you "Eva" again

my dear friend

a lively child

your boy

I shall now depend on your sisterly compassion

dear Eva

I'm speaking now as one woman to another

I know, in the teachers' council were often disagreed

yes, I know

but please...

don't hold it against me!

you won't?

Eva

I must open my heart to you

God, I...

I hardly dare utter the words

a love affair?

yes

with consequences?

yes

with consequences

hours pregnant with fate seem to be in store for me now

if a certain gentleman doesn't keep silent

dearest friend

you've let yourself be ravished!

I have

a sinful passion

God, how could I lose control so much!

tell me

is the child alive?

which child?

but you were talking of consequences right now

how dare you!

the utmost he could ravish from me

had been a kiss!

and that is your whole crime?

it is

I didn't defend myself at the time

and now you're afraid he could expose you with the Cleansing party

I am

I am

he is capable of anything

even at the time, he tried to fool me,
telling me he had mistaken me for someone else in the dark

I know how men are!

you do?

yes. and I'm forced to see him every day

a colleague?

give me your word of honour

that you'll keep silent

my word of honour

it is Professor Hagen

this is the limit!

I would never have thought him capable of that

excuse me, Frau Oberstudienrat

I'll be back very soon

- the Director
- Fr�ulein Doktor

the more beautiful the evening,
the later the guests

I have to speak to you, Fr�ulein Doktor

yes?

dearest K�the, could we go
into your dining room for a moment?

I'll just check if the room's in order

thank you

an efficient housewife, this Frau Amtsgerichtsrat*
(*county court judge)

excuse me Professor, please step into the pantry

don't look around!

please come in

Fr�ulein Doktor

I'm utterly distressed

I don't understand the whole affair at all

how is it possible for you get yourself a child?

God, by pure accident (Zufall)

I see, you came to a "fall" in the usual way

you see, my dear Fr�ulein Doktor

you must realize, I most certainly... I too have been....
anyway, this morning I take a walk on the promenade...

- and suddenly...
- mummy

you see!

there he is again

mummy

but this is terrible

it is indeed

but I must take the boy to bed first

excuse me a moment

terrible

good God, what will be the outcome?

now you say good night to mummy

give me a kiss

and now you'll sleep

do you hear

Kurt, be so good an stay with the boy for a while

the uncle will tell you a pretty story

uncle, you were going to tell me a pretty story

a pretty story!

could be him

uncle, you were going to tell me a story

once upon a time, there was a wild Emilio

once upon a time, there was a wild wolf

I know that one

that's little red riding hood

you know that story?

so much the better

# go to sleep little boy

# the father is a sheep

but it goes "he keeps the sheep"

is a sheep!

at the time I had been a teacher-candidate

the event took place more than 20 years ago

you know, my dear Eva

at the time, there were no family swimming baths

today one couldn't possible imagine
what it was like in those days

but at the time, the bathing sexes
were separated from each other

- and there had been...
- and there had been...

such a small knot-hole

Good heavens, you know about it?

I do

Director

the knot-hole got talked about

- so the whole town...
- no no

you don't have to worry

except myself,
nobody knows about your police fine

you know about that too?

I do

10 marks you've had to pay for the nice view

I beg your pardon, 20 marks

then you've been cheated

I know someone who got off for half the price

mummy

Director, excuse me a moment

a mother's duties

mummy

the brat!

mummy

mummy

what's the matter with the boy?

he called for me

what do I know where the boy is

is this the way you look after the children?

am I a nurse?

I'm a minister

good evening

evening

wanna have a bite?

no

I'm looking for mummy

mummy?

mummy

mummy

Director... Minister

Gustl

little Gustl

why do you shout so?

where have you been?

in the music room

Eva, a procession with torches
and singers is coming down the street

I think they're coming to you

nonsense

what's the matter

take the boy to bed, will you

may I help you?
may I take the child?

well

then the three of us could have joined together
in presenting our proposition to Fr�ulein Doktor

Fr�ulein Doktor

Fr�ulein Doktor

but children, for heaven's sake,
what do you want at this late hour?

dear Fr�ulein Doktor

everybody in town says
that they want to take you away from us

we won't let them!

we won't!

dear Fr�ulein Doktor

we... we care about you

yes... we... and since we care about you

care ... well... in short...

in a word....

we girls have made up our minds:
we won't let them do this to us!

even if we have to appeal to the Minister for Education himself

and... well.... let us now join in our appeal

long live our dear Fr�ulein Doktor R�ttgers

well girls, I think it's touching the way
you stick to me in hard times

tell your parents that they shouldn't worry
and let me stay your teacher

and nothing is as hot as it looks at first

but do me the favour
and go home now, all of you

and I won't hear of anybody missing tomorrow at school!

and the thing regarding just you and me:

we'll stick to each other through thick and thin

# we'll stick to each other through thick and thin

# hiphip hoorrah

# we'll stick to each other through thick and thin

# hiphip hoorrah

and now move on, go home

good night. good-bye

thank you

good night

in my youth, nobody would have dared such a thing!

well

well

well

yes yes

I ... eh...

I... eh...

I think we'll postpone the whole matter

till tomorrow

may I invite the ladies and gentlemen
to a small snack

since we've assembled here so cozily

be my guests tonight

but we couldn't accept this

please step inside

- don't you want to go in?
- certainly not!

first, you let me wait here for hours,
and now you want me to feel hungry

I won't participate in this monkey's business any longer

I'm going home

you were going to tell me something

I was?

I think you had a confession to make

confession? this is not the right place

place for a confession

didn't the bell ring?

ring?

right

but you could at least wait that long

- till I've opened
- alright

excuse me, Minister, the sausages

wonderful sausages

they're getting cold

doesn't the Minister have an appetite?

no thank you, later

and those peppered cucumbers, delicious

yes, pepper indeed

are they getting cold too?

the .... ? yes of course...

yes sir

(with Saxon accent) you know, Miss,
Frau Schlotterbeck sent me here by train

because she couldn't come herself

because of the laundry

and when I went to the Minister's home

he wasn't there

and I came here quickly

to deliver the child here

(with normal voice) but for heaven's sake,
what business does the Minister have with the child?

(Saxon accent) say, this is a funny question

but this is the Herr Doktor's little sonny

what, the Herr Doktor has a child!

sure, that's why he phoned us

there's a draft

I don't want to hear anything more!

this is outrageous!

not with one word did he mention a child!

incredible!

and such a scandal in my apartment

get out, you!

alright, then I'll be off

but I'll leave the child here

good-bye

do you know that one?

now you're surprised!

???

don't you want to give your boy a kiss?

that had been a pretty surprise for you

wasn't it?

I knew it all the time

knew it, my foot!

you can do something for your boy too for a change

take him to bed

I must look after my guests

you scoundrel, you

now we'll go into beddiebyes

- will we?
- yes

# sleep, my little child, sleep

# your father used to be a sheep

# your father used to be a ...
