Anushka Page #8

---

Please come in.

Dear Nowarek,

your Anuschka was a big

disappointment for us,

unfortunately.

Professor, the girl didn't steal anything.

Well...

You already know the story?

Yes.

And now I would like to ask Madame

myself...

Please keep my wife out of the story.

She has nothing to do with it.

I thought the lighter belongs to her?

Of course, but...

So it has to be her who gave

the lighter to the gentleman,

who gave it to Anuschka.

Please don't give me this stupid story.

About this "unknown gentleman".

As matters stand,

it is better anyway,

to let the lawyers settle the case.

I don't whish to hear anything

from Mrs. Hordak again.

Goody bye.

Don't wish to hear anything again...

And why does your wife

come running to Anuschka then?

She has absolutely no intention.

On the contrary.

She was there only

one hour ago.

She offered her money.

To withdraw the lawsuit

and stand for the insult.

She offered her money?

And Anuschka, the stupid girl,

really wants to do it.

There must be something behind it!

My wife offered Anuschka money?

Yes.

500 krones.

I've had enough!

Get out!

I swear it professor!

Why should I lie?

One moment.

Aren't you feeling well?

Yes, I have a bit of a headache.

Have you been downtown?

Mm-hmm.

What have you done there?

Jesus, Felix...

I had to run some errands.

I went to the travel agency

for the tickets.

And then I went to the tailor.

Felix please let me take a rest.

What did you want from Anuschka?

From Anuschka, why?

Well...

you've been with her?

May I ask...

why you offered her money?

My God, Felix...

this is a a real interrogation!

Yes, I went to the girls place.

I felt sorry for her and uh...

I wanted to clear up this silly affair

for good.

With credentials and a bit of money.

Please forgive me this arbitrary act.

Please.

Since when are 500 krones

"a bit of money"?

Since when do you have such a large

amount of money at your disposal,

without my knowledge?

Felix, I...

So Anuschka...

didn't steal.

She got the lighter from a man?

I don't know how to...

So this man got...

the lighter...

from you.

This is why you...

intervened for her then.

And abandoned her atfter all.

Pha!

I just realized,

how much I wronged Anuschka.

I deeply regret,

that I accused her of theft,

without any reason.

May I ask you,

to tell her that?

Because I know,

how much value

Anuschka attaches...

on her reputation.

Thank you.

The professor whishes to let you know,

that he regrets his mistake

and asks to accept his apologies.

Everything is settled now

for you at least.

Farewell!

Jaro!

Please, come....

take a seat with me,

I want to explain everything.

I don't need a explanation!

And I don't have time for that.

My train is leaving in one hour.

What?

You already want to leave?

Today?

Anyway, I am sorry,

that I came at all!

How dare you!

What have I done?

How can you ask?

No more than eight days in Vienna,

the father less than half a year dead,

and already going to a ball!

And gets a golden lighter

from some gentleman.

I can well imagine what for!

Jaro!

This is not true.

What do I know,

what is true.

You learned how to lie.

Mother is right.

We are a bad match.

You...

you don't know what you are saying!

I know very well!

And now I will leave.

Otherwise I will say more,

than I prefer.

And what if I went with him?

Wouldn't I have every right to?

The way you were behaving?

Why haven't you been with me.

He will think about it.

And the apology from the professor

is also worth something!

So.

One thing is for sure.

The gentleman from the Stalehner,

who got me into all this trouble,

has to appear!

Even if I have to search him

in every house in Vienna!

Madame,

here again?

Excuse me?

We know each other,

most certainly.

Not that I remember.

Come on,

on Fat Tuesday!

But there was this

friend of mine,

who put me to inconvenience.

This must be a mistake.

There's no way to take you

for somebody else!

Especially with this outfit.

It was up there,

in the loge!

Fancy going up there later?

Um...

Say...

Who is this friend of yours?

Seems that he didn't leave

much of an impression,

my friend the advocate.

If he only knew!

He takes himself for

a don juan, I think!

Advocte?

Yes.

Strange.

I only know a doctor Moosbauer...

No!

I meant doctor Sascha Wendt!

The young, good-looking!

So his name is Sascha Wendt!

- Yes.

And he is an advocate?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Good bye, baron!

I have to talk with him!

Yes, please?

Mrs. Anuschka?

Yes, surprise!

It's me.

You didn't expect that, what?

Yes, please...

No, no... I am not going to sit down,

we have to leave now anyway.

Well, dear girl would you be so kind

and tell me what you want?

Can't you work that out for yourself?

You put me into a terrible situation!

What?

I put you?

Did I ask you,

to give me this stupid lighter,

doctor Wendt?

That's the height of impudence,

to shift the blame on me!

I beg your pardon, but without...

- Yes, please!

discussing the question of fault,

we can't put an end to this dispute.

Oh yes, we can.

You bet!

Come on, get dressed.

- What do you mean?

Put on your hat,

let's go!

Yes, but...

I...

If you could really find a solution...

Don't talk so much.

Come on.

Come on.

You!

The fiaker is on you!

Sister Agnes!

For Christ's sake,

what am I doing here?

I want to speak with the professor.

But this is impossible.

Just tell him, Anuschka is here.

This is out of question,

I can't... here with the professor!

Impossible.

Ah, you don't have the guts

to tell the truth!

I beg your pardon!

It is strange that gentlefolk

are always afraid of the truth.

Please excuse me, gentlemen.

Hello Mrs. Anuschka!

Professor...

I can imagine why you came.

You can't imagine!

Here is the man...

who caused all this devastation.

Doctor Wendt.

Professor, I am at your disposal.

You're talking so pompously again.

Just tell the truth, finally!

Professor, you're doing Madame wrong.

The doctor will explain everything.

Professor,

I can give you my word,

with a clear conscience, that I, uh...

that between us...

Some men can barely speak up.

And you want to be an advocate?

He had just as little going on

with your wife,

as with me.

And you even

gave me a golden lighter!

Well, that's really nice of you

Anuschka,

but I think your attempt to mediate

is misplaced.

Stay!

You should be ashamed!

Sorry, it just slipped out somehow.

Is it really necessary,

to always expect the worst

from someone you love?

Are all men the same?

You and Jaro?

Come.

Thank you, doctor.

Come in.

Please, Madame.

Anuschka, it's you?

Yes, I only came to

announce something.

There is a gentleman

waiting outside,

who would like to talk with you.

I think, he has

something very important to say.

Felix.

Anuschka!

I will never forget that!

Yes Anuschka,

how can we thank you?

You could thank me.

If you would talk with Jaro,

professor!

Because he is as stupid, as you...
