If you what?

If it desert father.

Will he desert you?

There's no need to worry yet.

You've got to be worth deserting first.

Let him in.

Ah, morning, Johnny.

Mrs. Strauss, are we ready?

We've been ready for some time.

Oh, forgive me. I stopped to read this.

It's in print.

It's in print.

Then don't let him see it.

It will intrigue our readers to learn that there will soon be two Johann Strauss's in Vienna to solicit their goodwill.

Johann Strauss, Jr., son of our acclaimed maestro, will make his debut at Domai's Casino on Tuesday next.

There is little possibility that Vienna's rising moon will eclipse its glorious sun, but the situation is decidedly Pecon.

Pecon!

There are scores of ballrooms.

Someone's got to play in them, so what does it matter?

But not another Strauss.

The maker's a laughing stock.

Him, me as manager, you...

The word doesn't shock me, Mr. Hersh.

It's only shocking about other people.

It'll make Strauss look a fool.

I doubt that. The wife, perhaps.

Which would suit you?

Emily, make us some coffee, please.

Looks different in print, doesn't it?

You can believe it.

I believed it last night.

Splitting the audience is madness. The same name is madness.

Something must be done about it.

I am your manager. I am here to advise you.

I don't need advice.

I'm glad to hear it.

I know what to do.

Stop it. I'm his father.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Strauss.

It's no place for a lady.

I knew it years ago that it certainly come down in the world.

Mr. Reitman.

Thanks.

Thanks to you.

I hope you don't think we're here because we're out of work.

If you happen to know anything interesting...

I know something interesting.

In that case, I should be pleased to consider.

I'm free, Mr. Reitman.

You remember me, Mr. Reitman. I was with Mr. Lanner for nearly two years.

We're holding auditions.

Auditions?

I don't audition.

Then you won't be employed, will you?

Could you know our work?

Indeed.

But the new Maestro doesn't.

Him.

Mr. Strauss.

The son.

That's right.

Then we're not interested.

Not interested in working.

We wouldn't go against Mr. Strauss.

Ah, Mr. Strauss.

He's too powerful.

Strauss is Strauss.

And we're not interested in working.

He's Strauss.

And my husband.

And this is my son.

Mr. Strauss.

Ma'am.

Hello?

Hey, dear.

My mother.

Oh!

I went.

We thought at least you'd be keen on the idea of playing a Don Myers.

Don Myers?

Say Don Myers.

He'll never allow it.

Strauss.

Your husband.

He's too important to go against.

And too important to employ you.

You'd better get him out of here.

Unless you are working your nothing.

Don Myers.

Don Myers.

Don Myers.

Don Myers.

He'll never allow it.

Strauss.

Nothing.

But if that's what you prefer.

You're too young.

Strauss was the same age when he first started.

Don Myers settled.

Really settled.

I'm to play there.

Now whether you are.

Remains to be seen.

Auditions start in 30 minutes time.

Auditions.

Suit yourselves.

We've got to stay here and tell her.

I can't tell her you.

Do you mind?

My mom.

He's here.

He?

Take this to the kitchen.

Go and help your sister, Zaddy.

What I want to stay with you.

Do as I see.

Have you brought me some money?

There.

I'm sorry it's cold.

But I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's cold.

I didn't expect you.

I hear that Shawn is left the bank.

It didn't suit you.

Ah.

Is that why you're here?

I'm here for many reasons.

I hope I may call on my wife if I feel like it.

I've been thinking about the past.

Linus Memorial concert I suppose.

You know I have the spell now?

Everyone knows.

I've augmented the orchestra.

Spare, I can afford it.

I'm going to make it even bigger.

Do you want some coffee?

I want to offer the boy a job.

With me at the spell.

You what?

Johnny.

We must stop using that childish name.

He's had good tutors thanks to you.

He has a license so it can't be so bad.

His license is to conduct.

Every other business son takes over from father.

Why not orchestra?

I shan't live forever.

I don't believe you.

He's determined.

You're determined.

I give in.

What else can I do?

Even you'll admit he can't be ready for his own orchestra yet.

You were at his age.

I have no choice.

You were.

I hope he's not being forced to give marriage.

He's had no time for those.

What him, stay young.

Not to grow old, as I did.

As we did.

Me, who get experience, I'll be able to watch over and protect him.

It's a battle music.

And fickle.

You remember how fickle.

You got back.

It's all nine day wonders.

Sharn is very lucky.

He'll be a nine day one to two.

Then.

Well.

I don't want that for him, do we?

It's a pity you didn't say this earlier.

God woman, don't you understand.

I miss him.

I miss them all.

I miss this horrible apartment.

We were glad of it once.

That was before he could do sums.

He wrote it when he was six.

One summer you were away.

I smacked him for stealing your paper.

Well, it was too easy to say I couldn't help it.

A man must need his own life.

What would you say if I wanted to come back?

If I wanted all my family.

I don't know if I wanted to come back.

I don't know if I wanted to come back.

I don't know if I wanted to come back.

I don't know if I wanted to come back.

If I wanted all my family.

I wouldn't believe you.

We're still young.

You are.

Just once.

Choose what you've done.

My life's never been mine to choose.

I've had no practice.

Anna, I'm asking.

I know what you're asking.

But my parents.

You.

The children.

I don't even know what choosing is.

And Shani is head of this house now.

I mean what I say, Anna.

You never could lie to me.

No, no, gentlemen.

If we must play this old piece.

They always play your father's lorally at auditions.

Everyone knows it, you see.

And my father wouldn't want two fiddles.

Dragging half a beat behind the others.

Now once more.

And together.

Bar 23.

Who else?

Some of Lanner's men.

One or two of yours from the old days.

Oh, nothing very special.

Otherwise they wouldn't be out of work, would they?

And though the lad.

Well he has a touch, I must admit that.

He plays well.

Oh, I wouldn't go as far as that, sir.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I am.

I found out his repertoire.

Works of his own composing, that is.

Composing?

It's a joke.

Four of all's is, three polkas, two quid drills.

Perhaps they're not very good.

I mean, he's so young.

Thank you, Schneider.

It's an honor to be of service, Mr. Strauss.

Here.

Oh, thank you, thank you, sir.

Mr. Strauss, Mrs.

Miss.

Thank you, sir.

I saw it, Amaya.

Every cafe and casino in the city has agreed not to employ the boy.

But, Amaya's refused.

That was my fault.

You were so rude to him when you left because of me.

But I have a notion, sir.

I survived.

We can't stop the boy playing.

I have not a dumb eyes anyway.

Now, that same night, I shall give the biggest concert of my life at this world.

I shall command people to come.

Yes!

So, that will force them to take sides and that's dangerous.

They love him.

And remember how they rivalled in the feud between you and Lana?

No.

My notion is simpler.

Let the boy give his show.

I guarantee it will be the biggest disaster that Vienna has ever seen.

Guarantee.

I shall hire a clock.

A what?

There are people skilled in the art of making their presence felt to perform.

You'll do nothing at the sword.

I've seen one at work, never on me, thank God, but at work.

In our business, all is fair.

No, business, all is fair.

Clock to a musician is like a bogeyman to a child.

You can't fight it, just be terrified by it.

It destroys him.

A trickery I don't mind, intrigue and pressure I can bear, but no clock.

Get out of here.

There'll be no performance that night.

You tell me.

The spur relies on me for musicians.

There are other great conductors, if your hand struts should ever fail.

A concert is the only way to fight back to win the public.

You could be right.

You can say, and I could be right.

A compromise.

You give your great concert, I have a clock ready.

Just in case.

It won't be necessary if everybody is at the spur.

Good.

Now, I must go.

You might write a new verse, something absolutely splendid.

Just like that.

Joe, I know I taught nonsense, but...

Wouldn't it be simpler?

Couldn't you go and see her?

I saw her this morning.

You didn't tell me.

There's no concern of yours.

I haven't said leave me in peace.

Peace, you go to her and...

What did she say?

I gave her a choice.

She made the wrong one.

What choice, Joe?

What choice did you give her?

Did you say you'd go back?

Is that what you wanted, Joe, that you'd go back to her?

She stole the top rubbish.

You did, Joe. I know you. I know you did.

She wouldn't have me back.

Oh, Sal Exile.

Don't use this, do it, don't go away now.

option...

Time.

open my face!

Runtain to jail.

I love you.

I had to go and see her. It didn't mean anything.

What is it?

The gentleman bought this, sir. He said there's no answer.

Thank you.

Oh, hahahaha.

Oh, don't laugh at me, joke, please.

I'm not laughing at you. They made me court music director.

How did you get in here?

They know me, Signora.

Look away.

I see no one.

Signora Lucari is a recluse.

The world loves her for it.

Her mystery has made her famous.

Her voice has made her famous?

I come to our prima donna to beg her service.

Lucari gives no services.

Lucari pairs her dance.

Signora Toba Dovie. The delight from young Toba Dovie didn't get the appointment in Dresden.

Now without Dresden, how can she possibly sing in Vienna?

The young Toba Dovie.

What do you want of me here, Sh?

Your clock for one night.

I have no clock. Beethoven himself said that my lern or our...

Thirty years ago, your clock keeps you a star.

That and your mystery.

What do you want it for?

Strauss.

Oh, cafe music.

For him, someone else is looming on the horizon.

Someone young. His son.

Well... and I like that.

Tuesday night?

Hmm.

Send them to Dormayo's casino. Tuesday evening.

Hmm.

It's still rocks.

Cafe music.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Amia!

That fits very well.

There.

I think we're just right.

It's far too beautiful.

The lady I made it for is in Baden for the cure. She won't know.

Well, if you're absolutely sure.

Oh. Would you go for me, Mr. Bookman?

Yes.

It's a lady.

I hope it's not inconvenient, Mrs. Strauss.

We've not met.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Brockmire.

I'll get along.

You'll have it by Tuesday.

We've not met.

I'll get along.

I'll get along.

I'll get along.

We've not met.

He sent you?

We both know him better than that.

Why are you here?

He's upset about your son.

I know.

He offered to come back to you.

I didn't accept.

I don't care whether you accept it or not.

All I care about.

He'll sit down for heaven's sake.

All I care about is that he mean it.

I can't tell that. You must tell me.

Did he mean it?

You love him.

Didn't you think so?

I only ever thought about his loving you.

Did he mean it? Would he come back?

No.

Oh.

Perhaps until after he got his own way.

But no, he didn't mean it.

It's all for the boys good, you know.

He wants him to do something better with his life.

He wants.

Sharny wants too.

Then.

May I tell you something?

Not out of any desire to make trouble. You must believe that.

Go on.

Tuesday night, the night your son.

Joe is planning a gala concert at the spirl.

That night?

He had a letter from the palace.

He's been made court music director.

And Tuesday they celebrate.

Everyone will be at the spirl.

They're going to decorate it and give free wine and Joe's writing new music.

I don't see what that has to do with trying.

He's making them take sides.

People like novelty.

Anything new?

The talk the emperor himself might be there.

Is it true?

No.

But they'll believe it.

And all were there I'd go myself.

We've lost before we start.

I'm sorry, really I am.

There are times when people don't matter to him.

Any people.

He wasted all just like that because he feels like it.

The money, the work.

Sharny's work.

Don't go on with it.

You give someone a push.

I'm altering his father's clothes.

I shouldn't have come.

You only wanted to help him.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How many people are there now?

It's early, so don't worry.

In those clothes you look just like him.

They still think the Emperor's coming?

Oh, well, believe anything.

I cannot even show the Emperor's in Vienna.

What have I disappointed?

Oh, that's up to you.

There's, um, there's any gray show.

Oh, dear.

Dear.

Dear.

Dear.

Dear.

You look younger than your son.

They've closed the doors.

There's not room for another soul.

He's nervous.

But it's packed.

Not about here.

You heard?

I don't need to hear.

We don't know.

A schoolboy performs in a suburban hall.

You're out front of me.

You do what you said?

Of course.

Where'd you get them?

Look how are these people?

The best.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The car is people.

The best.

I'm good there.

I must know what's happening.

Very well.

You should begin, Joe.

They're waiting.

My amalster.

It's really for his sake.

You see, Mama? If we go to the spell, we see the Emperor.

Quiet answer.

Here he is.

HEART

Good morning.

Like Halo plays

Q

Alright we'll see you next week!

We'll meet yann

I'll explain it.

Who's it?

Mr Str

We've all about you. Next piece.

Joseph. Joseph.

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

You don't want to.

Don't do it. I'm going to this bed.

You are not.

You won't stop me.

They used to him.

But you are. You know you are.

I should have stuck the church music.

People can't laugh at you in church.

I'm closing.

No.

They'll start wrecking the place soon. I've seen Clacks before.

What?

I must get them out.

What did you say they were?

They paid to do that?

Well, of course they are.

Nobody makes a record at the beginning of something even fools wait to judge.

Clack. They're just drunk and looking for trouble.

He's paid people.

Not your father, Shawnee. He wouldn't do a thing like that.

No, but Hirsch would. Your father's manager.

He'd do anything to protect his percentage.

Hirsch? He's out there watching.

He's come to see me fail.

What to make sure I never start?

Tonight is my fault. All mine.

I made you do this. I should have known we couldn't win.

I should have made you take your father's office, Shawnee.

He meant it well, I know he did.

Tonight is my fault.

Well, I...

If you close now, Hirsch will know he can control you too.

But what else can I do?

Let me finish the evening.

Look, your hand. Madam, I run a dance hall. I don't want to see it in ruins.

There are lots of people outside.

But they won't come in because they know there's going to be trouble.

What can I do?

He's right. There's no point in going on.

Let Reichmann finish the evening.

No one needs to be upset. You'll still get your money.

No, it is my orchestra.

Even if it's only for tonight and it plays my music...

But they won't listen.

All right.

Now maybe Hirsch has beakness.

We have a contract for this evening.

And I am going to finish playing my music.

And if they don't listen, then I'll play it again.

Then I'll go back again.

Gentlemen.

Number three.

Stop!

Stop! I'm closing down all of them!

It's empty. Can't you stop the wind and whistle?

Where is he going to stop?

I've had to hold the watch.

Who is it?

No, come on!

She left. This is her game.

She can be proud of them.

No, no. You'll only make things worse.

Sid!

Hello, Anna. I am Doma.

Do you mind her pleasure?

No. I had a noise. I wondered what was happening.

A little disturbance.

A holocaust.

I've never seen a tack in action.

Oh!

It makes one almost pity the poor performer who had taught us its attempts.

It is terrible, Sid. Perhaps a word from you?

For me?

A word?

Well, I thought from someone so eminent as your sir.

If your public is like cheap dance, you'll see.

What's that to me?

They choose to humiliate.

I suppose, Tim's the owner from Sid is a musician.

Why should I bother?

But it is not Spouse. It is his son.

No.

He's saying three.

The plague is father.

What is this?

I don't know. It's something of his own.

It's in a composition, no, no.

It has a quality.

It's a

It's a

It's gone far enough.

I would try.

He's my son.

But don't want him destroyed.

He only has one thing.

Let him end it with some dignity.
