All language subtitles for Der Schuler Gerber (1981) PAL DVD5 - ENG

Rise,
Zasche Michael!

But this looks quite good
for this year.

Yes.

Three more minutes.

You're not satisfied? How come?
It looks OK.

All right, let it go.

That's it, my dears...

Marita, sit here.

The next year is going to be serious.

The graduation exam is not a joke.

That's why we're not thinking
about it.

I'm not going to be here anymore, class.

Mr. Teacher, why are you giving up on us?

My dear Gerber, it hasn't been very
easy with you this year.

Look, I'm not very young...

But, teacher...

This is my final year, and I don't want
any more excitement.

But, teacher, I believe that
we can make sure

that your final year be your best one.

Children, you have to...

Lisa, will you wait for me?

THE STUDENT GERBER

Goodbye, goodbye.

Hello.

You're going to get a postcard from
Venice. When are you going?

I still don't know, my father doesn't
have much money this summer...

maybe we will go to Alter Lake..

Yes, I'm going.

Bye.

Hello.

Hello, Lisa.

Hello.

Hey, come here!

Are you coming, please?

Yes.

Hello, teacher.

Say, why didn't he greet you back?

Maybe he thought he didn't need it,
being a gentleman.

Pig.

He probably didn't see you.

Does he teach anything to you?

Who? Kupfer? No, thankfully.

Dermanusi is my maths teacher.

You know that already.

Eh.

They call him Kupfi the God.

A little bit of slapping would be
the best for him.

Ah, you and your character judgement.

Maybe he's poor too. - Him?

It's been going well for seven years,
hopefully the eighth one, too.

A few of them aren't there anymore,
Berwald, for example.

Allegedly, she dropped out.

Allegedly, she's getting married.

Who is "allegedly" getting married?

Rumour has it Lisa Berwald doesn't
go to school anymore.

At least we're going to get a new
class teacher.

Who?

Mr. Kupfer.
- Dear God!

Hm, Gerber? Satisfied?

There are also people who don't
have to be afraid of anything.

God's favourite children.

The chosen ones.

God is coming!

Who?

Mr. Kupfer.

I'll wait until there's absolute silence.

Sit down.

I hope we will get on well.

I demand the necessary effort and
attention at any time.

Don't ever try to cheat, Captain
Kupfer sees everything.

As I was a Captain in the World War

who knows everything and notes everything

don't expect you'll pass here

with your usual tricks and wisecracks.

I don't act as the mass would act.
The mass always acts stupid.

And you know how it is in life.
The stupid ones cry in the end,

and the smart ones laugh.

I intend to laugh.

Ha-ha-ha.

Ah, I'm glad you're in a good mood.

You were also very cheerful at
Alter Lake.

But maybe you belong among the
ones who will cry in the end.

Then, I hope we understand
each other.

You simply have to realize

that the final year requires a
special effort.

I don't count the final exam as a
simple formality.

I don't act out of mercy.

The one who came here for mercy
is hardly going to pass.

I'm especially warning those ones

who are impudent to me
because of their laziness.

So, did we understand each other?

Now, please...

Altof? - Here.

Benda? - Here.

Modezki? - Here.

Tuffeck? - Here.

This ha-ha-ha is really conspicuous.

I don't know, I don't know.

In any case, Gerber stands out.

In any case, you are an
exceptional mathematician.

And you really blew it.

I couldn't take it anymore.

He acts as if he was...
- And what did I tell you?

What did you tell me? - Do you
have a lighter?

Kupfer's presence bothers me
more than Berwald's absence.

The ones left are so-so...

and you could at least start
something with Lisa.

And how do you know that,
from experience?

Maybe.

He doesn't know that a slap is
near for him.

And Kupfer isn't going to treat them
differently.

Yes.

At least he's fair.

Everybody is going to be equal.

Yes, if equality to you is being
equally insolent to everyone.

Who is absent? Are you deaf
and dumb?

I asked who was absent.

Who did you ask?

Who was that?

Ah, of course. - I'm the chosen
spokesperson of this class, teacher.

And I'm asking for the information
on behalf of the entire
deaf-and-dumb class?

who did you address your
question to?

I don't think I like this tone of voice.

No one is absent, teacher.

Who has the sitting plan?

Please.

Thank you... hmm..not bad.

You are Severin?

You didn't make good window
proportions.

or you just wanted to simulate?

Severin, you stay there. We'll check
the proportions of the upper plate.

Quiet, please!

Or is there some rule that you're
not to be asked

on the second day of school?

Let the silent class speak now.

Gerber!

I don't know, teacher, it's not
very common that...

I didn't ask you anything.

Sit down!

Or you maybe want to take
Severin's place?

Ah, so.

Severin, take your drawing.

Take a good look at the furnace.

Imagine it was put near the window.

Which geometric figures can
we show?

The furnace can...

The furnace looks like...- It looks
like some kind of cylinder, right?

Let's imagine the sunlight falling,
and the 60-degree angle

and then reflects off the furnace
and projects the shadow on the cathetus.

Hm, shadow... cathetus...

How did you pass last year, with
Mr. Matusi?

I was sufficient at geometry and
good at maths, please.

And this today was not sufficient
for you. Severin, you may sit down.

You see, you can draw the best
examples from your everyday life.

Attention! A little to the right, please.
You too, Mr. Teacher.

Attention, please! Now!

Thank you very much! Thank you!

You have to go to some other school,
there isn't any other way.

Your son instilled something in his
head and it stays that way.

I'm not sure which one of us put
something into his head.

I have put into my head to make
the road to life easier for my son.

Dad... - I can do as much.

Please, don't be mad, what does
road to life mean?

These are some stupid mathematic
formulae, that's all.

You are yet to learn what "road to
life" means.

You have to know that you need
to pass that final exam.

Yes, and? When I make an effort,
it will be OK.

I guess. I hope it won't be too late.

You were never good at neither
maths, nor geometry.

It's ridiculous... I'm going to
pass it.

Good morning. - Good morning.

Can I congratulate you, colleague
Kupfer?

On what?

Your geometry work.

Is there anything better? Word
has it in the ministry...

that the purpose of education can
be achieved only by using a
consistent method.

Then you're satisfied with your class?

I cannot say that so easily, Professor.

I'm very satisfied with myself, to
start with.

How about Gerber?

He's bad at geometry, but otherwise...
- You think so? - For a very long time

he doesn't belong in school, it is a
distinctive characteristic.

While he is here, he is Gerber,
a student.

Six weeks are gone, guys. What's
time to us?

Prepare yourself now,
during the catastrophe.

Come on, Scheri...

You know who is here?

Lisa!

Hello.

So, how are you? Speak.

Hello.

My God, we got Kupfer.

Hello.

You finally remembered to show up.

How are you, Kurt?

Thank you, Berwald, I'm OK.

You're so formal, Dr Gerber.

Lisa, I have a great idea. Come sit
with us, and stay for the next hour.

Nobody's going to notice a thing.

The highest point must always have
the zero elongation.

See, now it can move freely...

And now, when I fixate it... you
need to be careful with this device.

Now it cannot move freely anymore.
I'm keeping it still.

Yes, what does a former student
Berwald want?

She has to ask, because of
certain obligations...

for the permission to leave the
class early.

Granted. Class, all rise.

Sit down.

What happens when we move something
from the down side?

It will move upwards.

Teacher!

What's going on?

I'm not feeling well. May I, please,
go out?

Ok, you may.

What about upside...

Run to Berwald.

We'll try and see now what happens
with the upside...

The movement goes up
and reflects itself...

Lisa!

Kurt, look at you. What's up with
your appearance?

What's up? Let me think...

I look like I have been waiting for
any news from you for six weeks

and when you finally come,
I need to run after you.

And when I follow you, you ask
what's up with my appearance.

That's what's up.

I might be crazy already.

But, you're to blame for it.

How am I to blame again?

Why haven't you called for so long?

I came back yesterday.

You're the first person I went to.

I didn't notice that.

Can I phone you?

Phone the studio.

Excuse me?

I work at an artistic studio - Dremon.

It's in the phonebook.

You've got a job?

Of course.

So, call me.

Yes.

Next week?

Yes.

And introduce yourself as Dr Berwald.
That's my brother.

Yes, I understand.

Or should I call you? - Yes.

Stay well.

But really!

Gerber! Do you know how to greet?

What do you do in the street at
this hour?

Are you excused from the class?

Teacher, it's... I have this...

Would you take the cigarette out
of your mouth while you're talking
to me?

Of course, teacher!

I hurt my knee, and the teacher allowed
me to leave the class in order to see the
doctor.

That sounds like a fairy tale.

The entire class was laughing at you
for making a fool of yourself because
of that stupid goat!

Lisa is not a goat, I love her.

What?

I love her.

Say that one more time.

I love her.

You're a really hopeless case.

Probably.

We have a maths exam on Friday.
You'll come then.

I can't, look at my knee. Dr Kaun
said that every movement...

Dr Kaun had already passed his
final exam, and you haven't.

Friday is important, because of the test.

It lacks...

Yes, I can see from here, thank you.

I... I am here, teacher.

So... you changed your mind.

You bear the consequences because
you cheated, and skipped school.

But, teacher, I neither cheated nor
skipped school.

You don't say?

I remember on Tuesday morning,
you were in the street during the class.

You were sick on Wednesday, but today
you're healthy again... rather strange.

But, I can get you a slip from the doctor.

Yes, we know that.

Teacher, I wish you...

Quiet!

Gerber, I'm listening.

I don't have anything to tell you, teacher.

That's what I wanted to suggest.

Zasche, example one...
Zasche, example one...

That's it, my dear Gerber. Will you
stay in that position?

Don't move.

You think I'm stupid.

I told you I saw everything.

You have ten more minutes.

I'm sorry...

So that's it, he sees everything.

Leave it, I would like to keep that.

Oh, it has just occurred to me.

Maths. Strict warning and ban.

May I go now?

You may, thank you.

Good evening, could I please speak
to Lisa?

Mhm. Kurt Gerber speaking. Would you...?

Thank you so much. Goodbye.

Good night.

Good night.

Hello?

No.

No, they're at the concert.

Yes, the Busch quartet.

Yes, yes.

No, soon, I think.

Yes, I'll tell them.

Bye.

The Dremon studio?

This is Dr Berwald speaking.

May I talk to my sister, Lisa Berwald?

How come? Why isn't it possible?

Do you notice anything else?

No.

Why doesn't she call you?

Firstly, she doesn't know my number.

It's in the phonebook.

Secondly, she knows that my folks are
now angry because of my school.

How thoughtful of her.

Yes, how thoughtful.

A magnificent gesture.

Yes, a magnificent one.

The Dremon studio, Dr Berwald speaking.
Could I talk to my sister, Lisa?

Thank you, yes.

Lisa, it's me... Kurt.

Why didn't you call me?

I'm not threatening you, I couldn't do it.
Lisa, I need you. I have to see you.

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

But this time for real.

Yes, I'll write to you. Bye, Lisa.

Bye, Lisa.

He's coming, he's coming.

Sit down.

Benda?

Yes?

You don't know when you are
supposed to be in class?

I was outside.

I see, that's why I'm asking.

What did you have to do outside?

Things you usually do outside.

Don't play with me.

It's not good to joke with me.

I'm asking you for the second and
the last time, where were you?

I went to the toilet.

Silence!

To the toilet. You couldn't have
done it earlier?

No, unfortunately not.

On the contrary, you could.
Basically, you had to.

You had to, I tell you.

That's why there's a recess.

I cannot be ordered to the toilet.

Complete silence, please.

There's nothing to laugh about.

For you, too, Benda.

I'm reminding you that people need
to stay in class.

and that such conduct means breaking
the school rules.

But, when I have to go to the
toilet, Mr. Teacher

Then hold it until the next break.

But, that's unhealthy.

Johannes Kepler, the astronomer
died of it.

All right, now we shall see who
has what rights.

Zasche?

What do you know about the
traits of the right-angled objects
which radiate?

Thank you, sit down, not enough.

Benda?

It focuses on the shadow of
one side...

Thank you, not enough.

Altof?

This...

Thank you, not enough.

Severin?

Thank you, not enough.

Benda?

The shadow focuses...

Thank you, not enough.

Rips?

This...

Thank you, not enough.

Benda?

Benda?

Can you step out? Do you know
this is refusal of obedience?

Yes, I'm sure it is, teacher.

Do you know anything about the traits
of the right-angled objects which radiate?

Thank you, not enough.

Teacher, may I say something?

I'm warning you, Benda, do you
still intend to violate the discipline?

No, I want to withdraw something
I said.

And that is?

It wasn't Johannes Kepler, but
Tycho Brache who died of it.

It's not enough, from Altof to Zasche!

Thank you, Gerber.

Yes.

You disappoint me, Gerber.

Your report was exquisite, but what
you generally do is senseless.

What do I do, teacher?

You know you're not some teachers'
pet.

That's how you lose sympathies of
the others.

Today for example, teacher
Forscher complained of you.

And that teacher is not as short-
sighted as you think.

But, teacher, nothing is...

Nothing is final yet, it's true.

The class teacher still has the final word.

You should talk to teacher Kupfer.

You know, man to man.

Man to who, teacher?

I have really firm intentions...

I'm not interested in intentions,
firm or any other kind...

the only thing I'm interested in
is your class conduct

and your effort when it comes to
maths and geometry.

A single effort is not appreciated anyway,
but the whole picture.

Teacher?

And so you can say...

Teacher?

What you say is not true, that's
the consequence

Whatever the spiritual state of the
poet was...

But, Gerber I'm talking about what
today's literature is

We'll complain against Kupfer
with this.

Gerber creates a revolution.

Hanna.

Mr. Teacher

He knows he is not right, I'm
sure he does.

and I've been trying to talk about
it with him for years.

And how should I come to that?

Will you, please, turn around?

This is not enough against Kupfer.

Four signatures.

Five.

What did you expect?

Is it going any better with him?

Kupfer?

Yes, last time I answered verbally
and did well.

And I hope there's not going to be
much more of that

Hope so.

Come on, don't smoke so much.

Wonderful! - Beautiful!

Come on, we'll ski down to
the valley.

Let's go down quickly so that
we could catch the last train back.

Peter, Otto, have you heard?

Of course we are going too. Kurt?

Yes, yes.

There it is!

Bravo!

Is it cognac?
- Certainly.

Kurt?

Yes.

Is it going?

Pretty much.

Turn on the light.

It's all right.

It doesn't work.

What.

We've been riding for two hours
already.

Don't exaggerate again.

Are you cold, Lisa?

Just a little bit.

Lisa, why can't it always be
like this?

It cannot be like this.

Why, Lisa? What is it now?

Shush, don't talk now.

Good morning.

Good morning.
- Good morning.

You're ten minutes late, Gerber.

Hello. -Hello.

You're gonna talk to yourself.
Kurt?

Me, talk to myself? It would be
a surprise.

I'm angry at myself. I'm not gonna
say a single word to myself.

That's nice of you.

Maxl loves Lisa.

It sure is beautiful in the country.

Let's move on.

Come on, let's go.

You better take it.

Do you love her very much?

Is it so incredible to you?

Lisa is the most beautiful girl I know.

When you're young and crazy,
I find that insulting.

You can love, too.

Never mind, it will pass.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

And for you it was successful?

You don't do good with love.

I don't get that?

I sure doubt you haven't slept
with her yet.

Let it be clear that the answer
to your question

is going to be "no" anyway

and you can interpret that
as you like.

How long have you been in
love with her?

Your Honor, it's been a year
and a half.

And you can't go back without her?

Where?

You still need to seduce her.

You need to seduce her.

Lisa, come here!

Lisa, come!

Lisa!

Come on, wait for me, Lisa!

Lisa!

Lisa is in her room. You should
go upstairs if you are willing.

She isn't feeling too well.

Yes? Yes?

Well, here is the big man. You need
to beg him to visit someone.

I was walking until now.

I sprained my ankle.

Don't, someone might come.

Please, don't.

Forgive me. I fear being ridiculed.

Who wouldn't?

Do you ever make fun
of me, Lisa?

Why do you think that way
about me?

You won't make fun of me? Ever?

You are so stupid.

You went to see Lisa? - Yes.
You told me to go yourself.

What do you want from her?
- Don't be childish.

Well, you know who I am. You
don't need to be jealous of me.

And? - I am very happy.

You are so dumb.
- Yeah? It's the same thing.

Wasn't it you, Paul who made a
cold, yet brave statement yesterday

that I would never have my
beloved Lisa Berwald?

Yes, I was.

I believe I can prove you wrong.
Wanna bet? - No.

If it's really possible, there's a telegram
for you, that once

you'll accidentally sleep with a girl
identical to Lisa Berwald.

Good night.

That's why you brought me back?
Yes, that's why.

Do you know what those four
days would mean to me?

My dear child, maturity starts
only once.

Mr. Matus thinks that an instant
employment of a home tutor

is the only thing that maybe
can help you.

And that Mr. Ruprecht should
be the right guy for it.

an outstanding mathematician
and a friend of Kupfer's

who would, maybe even at his place...

Anyway, we have to be at his place
tomorrow at 10.

I surely won't do that!

Kurt! The seriousness of life...
- Seriously, you promote school

too much if you think you can
compare it to life.

On the contrary, we must renounce
life because of school.

No, no, no... nobody asks you
to do that.

Of course they ask us to do that.

And if you think that life doesn't
have anything to do with school...

the only thing I can tell you is
you're wrong!

Yeah, yeah, OK - You won't talk
like that to me anymore.

Hello. - Hello.
Enter. What's up?

Tell me loud and clear if you want
to study with me. You're much better

than me and probably most of the
rest when it comes to "God" Kupfer.

Flowers, eh? - He says "thank you".

I trust you. You can keep my
head above water if you want.

And I promise I won't disturb our
collaboration

with jokes and demagogic debates.

And I mean that honestly.
- Please, sit down.

It all works. No mistakes. You
just need to draw the shadow on Pi 1.

All right, Gerber. Sit down, Benda.

There it is.

Benda, Oh, yes, he is absent.
Zasche...

What is the angle of intersection
of two diagonals of a cube?

Incidentally, Gerber I have a very
unpleasant message to convey to you...

that your allegations have
been proved wrong.

I've heard you left the class of
Mr. Ruse on Tuesday before Christmas

under the pretext that you had a
headache.

By doing that, you lied to the two
members of the teaching staff in the
most brazen way

Thank you, Zasche... not enough!

Because of that, I organized an
assembly, and you will have to

sit out four hours of detention
as a punishment.

Take it into account and
make arrangements.

Mr. Teacher? - Yes?

When did you plan to call for help?

It's not so bad, Kurt.

Come on, Kaulich, you'll give me
a cigarette. That's the way to
remember it.

That's so-called romantic irony, right?

So, how's your heart today?
- I've been better for the last few days.

It's partly because of you for sure.

The rest is OK? - Can i quote
the today's words of Kaulich

my friend, who is a sober observer
of the situation?

"The last assignment - sufficient
two verbal answers - good,

what more do you want" End of quote.

I knew you wouldn't embarrass
your old father. Something to eat?
- Yes...

I'm the most complete world subject.
Useless, worthless and redundant.

Incapable of doing anything for
myself, or others. - Kurt, come to eat!

Yes, I'm coming!

And the last, but not the least, Zasche.

Benda is unfortunately, still absent.
Lauter very good, as usual.

Your certificates mostly lived up
to the expectations.

The fact that seven people were
insufficient is more pitiful

than the fact that these are your
last certificates before the final exam.

I can recommend you to try
very hard in the remaining months.

Levi, the class is not finished. The
worst can rise, and the best can fall.
Till tomorrow!

Your two Fs are the biggest
crap ever...

Can I have your attention for a
moment? The principal sent me

to tell you that your classmate
Josef Benda deceased on Tuesday.

He was a great and gifted guy.
Was anybody close to him?

Nobody. The funeral is on
Monday. Thank you.

Insufficient, good, sufficient...

Now me and Kaulich are going
out to smoke.

Levi is good. At least he has an
attitude. Don't you think so?

Ah, let it go. - You're giving
up on me?

I don't like Levi's fooling around.

Then you're a suck-up like
everyone else. - Yes.

You know what I was thinking
about? Something horrible.

If I come home with that
certificate

and something happens to my
father, I won't have to take the exam.

Get it? I'm that bad.
- Stop it! Nonsense!

For God's sake, you've been
OK lately. And anyway...

Yes. - And yet...

It's not so bad. I gave him a sedative

so he'll fall asleep soon. Bye.

Kurt, see that he is at peace now.
No stress. Complete peace.

I can tell you his heart won't
be able to endure

another such attack, do you
understand?

Mr. Doctor - Anything else?
- I got two Fs

and he's gonna think I won't
pass the final, it will upset him.

Don't worry, it won't upset him.
Goodbye, Kurt.

I got both of them pro forma

for I was too weak in
the first months.

I would like more... - That's
what Mr. Kupfer said?

Yes. I would like more if you
flunked the first semester

but granted the final exam

than to write-off these grades
and jeopardize your safety.

As reckless as you are, Gerber...

Those were his words. It's almost
a guarantee coming from his mouth.

I hope you are right. Don't
do that to me.

Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
- Gerber. -Prof. Ruprecht.

Who is there? - Mr. Gerber, for
the tuition. Let's go outside.

Sit down. - Thank you.
- Why so late?

I expected you after Christmas.

Yes, I know, but I thought...

Yes, yes, a man thinks, and
"God" Kupfer rules.

Don't be surprised. I know about
the nickname.

Mr. colleague Kupfer is very
famous.

What's the certificate like after the
semester.

Bad. I have Fs in both subjects.

You have to try hard.

We have three more months. When
do we start?

Now would be best, if possible.

What do you mean, now? Today?
- Yes, if possible?

So, it's critical. Then we won't
malinger. What gives you the
most trouble?

I think it's integral calculus.

Give me your notebook to
see where we stand.

Aha. Familiar with the formulae?

y=x^2cosx

Calculate it.

Paul, come for a moment. Lunch.

Excuse me. - Here you go.

You'll eat this ham sandwich.

Non-fat, eh?

Good morning. Move it!

Take your coat, it will be cold. Let's go.

The bus is waiting next to the street
leading to gas station.

Thank you.

Guess who? - I don't know.

Kurt, hello. How are you.
Come, sit down.

I don't hear anything about you.
You know, the final exam. Three
months only.

I completely forgot about it.
How is it going?

Tell me, you know anything about
Lisa? - Not very much.

Allegedly, she's engaged to an
Italian industrialist.

She's coming to me on Easter Sunday.

The studio "Hellas in Wien" -
a festival in Greek. You should also come.

I don't know, I can't. - Have a
cup of coffee. Waiter?

I'll be with you shortly.

I can't, I've got tuition lessons.
Don't get mad.

I wrote a poem. Don't be afraid,
it has five verses only.

I called it "About a contemporary
pair of lovers"

While the two of us are not
ready for love

we ask "why" for a long time

For the two of us are the children
of our time.

For we are too smart for love.

Or, more strictly put, too stupid!

Bravo. - No, I'm only pretending.
671

Lisa, since when are you there?

How did you come to a conclusion
I was not ready for love?

It's funny he talks only about love,
as if there's nothing more interesting.

You're engaged? - What does it
have to do with us?

I think it has. - Not at all, Kurt.

I don't allow anyone to attribute
anything to me. I live my own life.

I'm also a child of our time,
do you know?

But, I don't understand,
why then... - I love you!

I like you, but we won't see
each other anymore.

Why?

It can't be good anyway. I live
a completely different life.

I don't want you to carry it
inside you and be damaged.

Kaulich also says that I'm only
embarrassing myself with you.

Before Paul, Otto, and everybody else.

Because you probably sleep
with everyone. - Kurt, you
said it yourself

it didn't matter if you slept with
someone.

Why does it matter with me?

Forgive me.

I'll make a suggestion. When you
finish your school,

we'll talk about it once more.

Maybe something will be different
for me, or for you.

Until then, I'll keep my fingers
crossed for your exam, OK?

This shouldn't have happened.
Not that.

You're a poser, a poser
without a character.

What happened?

It's nice to be hated by someone.

Then at least you have a personal
success.

But you don't even have that.

You go to the teacher's to beg
and then you're flattered by his tone.

You're lazy and irresponsible.

And when you don't get enough,
you feel like a slave of your attitude.

A sad delusion. You always justify
one failure with another.

You play a pathetic game.

You know what you're lacking?

Spine, attitude, honesty.

You despise school, and you
should despise yourself.

It's half past eleven.
I'm in a hurry.

Be my guest, I'll find someone
else to play with.

Colleague, Gerber is basically
a nice boy.

Tastes are different, and so are
the results.

He allegedly became better, especially
at your subjects. - He was decent.

At least Mr. Ruprecht, his tutor,
says so.

Matusch, you know very well
I'm incorruptible.

What's that supposed to mean,
incorruptible?

Do you think I'm corruptible?!

Anyway, gentlemen, we shouldn't
have any doubts in the boy's way...

and that's the most important.

And it stays... - Can I say something
for once, please?

Is it possible, colleague Kupfer
that sometimes we are to blame

when students are insufficient?

When maybe we treat the student
wrong?

I treat everyone equally.
- Bad. Equally bad.

I beg your pardon, colleague.

You are free to guide your protégé

through the final exam with
the majority of votes.

However, without my two.

As far as I know, there are six weeks
to pass until then?

If you want to embarrass me
in this way...

Colleague Kupfer, this doesn't
concern you in particular.

But in their youth, soldiers were
already sent to winter camps.

Excellent, very good. A fantastic
progress. Is it like that in all
subjects?

Yes, I hope so. I became more
serious. I've got a new tutor.

Namely, I have to pass the exam
in order to work as an officer.

Very good, Zasche, keep up
the good work.

Tuffeck? The exam won't have
geography questions only.

In camera caritatis,
I would ask Gerber

According to the geological
formation of the Carpathians,
or only as an example...

Take this down, he gives us
the exam questions.

He does that every year.
The formation of the Carpathians

in the countries formed after the
break of Austria-Hungary.

I was probably confused, teacher...

I'm sure I was wrong.

Kurt told me at once he flunked
in your subject.

Of course it's my signature.
- Allow me.

Lying, cheating, forgery.
Look at me.

Aren't you ashamed of it?

I haven't had bad intentions.
Please, believe me.

But I'd like to ask you
something, father.

Not to make you angry.
Is it really that important?

What depends on my passing the exam?

Kurt, we don't understand each other
anymore. We’ll never agree on that matter.

You don't need to get upset, Albert.

Kurt, remember what Dr Kron said.

Yes. I behaved badly.
Please, forgive me.

Now, with the lessons of Prof
Ruprecht, everything will be better.

It will depend on you,
on you only.

Hello, Kurt. Come in.

Gerber, do not disturb.

Mr. Teacher, I wasn't...
- Calm down at once.

You're not supposed to speak
if not asked to.

But, teacher, it's not true
I was disturbing...

What do you say, not true?
It's the top of your insolence!

Gerber is disturbing... by cheating...

during...

the school assignment...

and gives...

despite the warning...

impudent answers...

What should I do?
- You can't do a thing.

Your father must come and go
to the principal's office at once.

No, my father is very ill.
Can't you

talk to Mr. Kupfer, please?

Me? To Kupfer? No, no,
I can't do that.

It is over then.

Kurt, you will pass the exam, won't you?
Kurt, if tomorrow you have no father...

You don't need to rub it in,
I'm doing what I can.

But, now, mother, please, go.

Who do you need, Eva?
- Teacher Kupfer.

Colleague Kupfer? - Yes.
- A lady.

Ah, so.

Yes? - I'm Mrs. Gerber. I would
like to talk to you briefly.

Unfortunately, the situation hasn't
changed a bit, I've said it already...

My husband is suffering a lot.
He has a sick heart.

He needs to go to hospital. I'm
asking you to consider this.

Then you're at the wrong address,
dear madam.

You should have said it to
your son, not me.

Mr. Teacher, I...
- I have classes.

Office hours are on Friday from
10 to 11. Good day.

All right, Zasche, all right. And the
big axis of the elipse is located where?

In the small diameter angle.

Bravo, now we also want to
know where

the points of the cone circular
clip radius are located?

Nobody knows that.

Yes? You know it, or not?

Thank you, insufficient.

Bloodsucker. Bloodsucker!

That's right. Now he's completely mad.
You should have done this during the class.

Well, you were good, that's the most
important, right?

Yes, and I'm allowed to take
the exam.

Yes! Of course I'm cheerful.
But, tell me, how is he?

Thank God. Yes. Please, Mum,
put him on. OK.

Father, are you up?

Tell me, how are you?

Ah, thank you, it's... a little better...

Kurt, we've been thinking
of you night and day.

That's very nice of you father. Me, too.
It's on Tuesday... on Tuesday.

Tuesday!

Yes, I'll call... right away...

I promise you, father.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, boy.

Kurt, please, don't embarrass
me. - Don't worry, father.

Good night. - Good night, boy.

Good night. Good night, father.

He's a dead man. - Kupfer will
destroy him first.

He's very upset... now he's afraid
he's going to flunk.

Maybe at least Kupfer is a
little calmer.

I also don't believe he needs
a victim two days in a row.

Mr. Chairman, allow me

to introduce today's candidates.

Novak, Tuffeck, Kaulich, Gerber.

Novak maths,
Tuffeck geography,

Kaulich Latin,
Gerber maths.

The logarithm is 2,936.

It corresponds to A, A is 40,678...

Spheric trigonometry...

It can be further rounded-off.
40,678 is 40,7.

And that's the solution.

Soon he gave a signal to go
to those who were...

Come on, Kaulich, it's not so
difficult...

Those who were hidden
in the field.

And now, Gerber.

If I remember correctly,
the first example is different.

The first example is...
- Mr. Teacher, I have the right

to solve the tasks in whatever
order I choose.

It is written in the exam rules.
- Don't you want to solve the
first example?

Gerber, Mr. Chairman asked
you a question.

Yes, Mr. Teacher.

Someone has been paying you
2000 schillings at the beginning
of each year for 12 years.

and since the age of 20...

And at the end of every year...
every tenth year...

to get your rent paid.

Calculate how high the rent is
with 4% interest rate. - Well?

Nothing crosses your mind?

Have you suddenly become
deaf and dumb?

That's a rent bill. - Yes!

A rent bill...

Thank you.

Come on, calculate. Or you want
to wait for the retirement

in order to see how high
the rent is?

A little faster. How much more
time do you plan to take?

What is that?

The sum of geometric order - Sn...
sum of the first n... - Yes, nice.

Well, then?

Yes, you're right. It's the formula
for the sum of geometric order.

And now, Gerber, pay attention.
How will you incorporate this formula

into the rent bill?

This formula for the rent bill...
It's... -But, Gerber, remember...

The capital E is the sum...

of particularly added parts,
you don't need to be a genius
to know that.

And now we want to hear,
the parts are different,

just like the factors of geometric
progression.

And now it's not so difficult. The
final capital E is the sum of
those factors.

E equals r times g to the tenth
degree, minus 1 divided to g-1

So, you think calmly now.
Steady.

You'll get there.

X equals 2000.

Gerber...

bracketed 1,04 to the
twelfth minus 1...

1,04 to the eighteenth...

Now you have to work a little
bit, up to now

I was the only one.
Use logarithms.

Logarithm is... logarithm...

That's enough. Thank you,
candidate Gerber.

How about we try the second
example. - The second.
Be my guest!

Put it down, Gerber. You need
to calculate asymptote equations.

What? Asymptote equations.

Asymptote equations...
- Yes. - ...are...

4x squared minus
9y squared is 36.

We are finished, candidate Gerber.

It's all over.
- Rubbish!

He gave you the simplest examples,
and you focused on the order.

Leave me alone!

Maybe you imagine that you'll
be more lucky in Latin.

That's for your conceit,
Know-It-All!

It's clear that Mr. Kupfer let you
take the exam in order for you
to flunk.

Leave him alone already!

Calm down and show that
you know some German, OK?

So, what do we have here?

Autumn, a poem by Nikolaus
Lenau. He wrote it

as soon as he came back
from America, in 1833.

Please, read it to us, and interpret
it briefly, OK?

Autumn

It's autumn and the leaves
are falling...

The pain of goodbye is
rushing through the forest

I miss the spring and nightingales
when I'm at the lonely sea

The sky appears so gentle,
so bright...

Its warm light disappeared

A sea wave didn't blossom

The high winds didn't sing...

And my youth passed sadly...

The bliss of spring remained neglected...

Autumn brings me fear of goodbye...

My heart dreams of death...

This little poem is a
very nice example...

This little poem is a
very nice example...

of the Austrian lyric during
the new Germany.

If we compare these stanzas
to the poem "To my country",
we see how...

this travel was an endless
disappointment to Lenau.

Of course, the thoughts...

that occur in this poem were
sad and hypochondriachal

as they always were with Lenau.

Growth and death, despair and hope
had been following him his entire life.

Lenau himself then wrote that
he felt as if marked by death.

Death... it goes like that... death
put its hand on me...

just like a woodsman who
marks the trees in the forest.

All right, Gerber.

It's over. Thank you.

All the candidates have passed
the exam. Congratulations!

Here you are, gentlemen.
- Scheri...

Scheri!

Scheriiii!!

Scheriiii!!
