or you'll leave.

I'll leave when I want, and I'll

do what I want.

And a woman, that's the last

thing by which I'll be told

what to do. And my sister

on top of it.

I'll take over the business,

as sure as I live.

This is my last word. I'm

not willing to say any more.

I'll give you a cup of tea

to warm you up, brother.

That is what I praise in a

woman, that's how she must be.

hard working and ambitious.

But to use her brains...

I'll be off to bed now,

please wake me early,

I should like to get to know

the work.

World goodbye

I'm tired of you...

Luisa, dearest!

You keep looking younger and

more beautiful too.

How do you do it?

It's freedom, dearest,

freedom alone.

How charming. Are you sure?

Quite sure, dearest. Why don't

you sit down?

Whoever has so much sorrow and

misfortune and remains like you...

Such a person has the devil on

his side, hasn't he?

The devil?

Yes, my dear.

As a woman one must find an

explanation for the well being

of such a grieved creature.

A cup of coffee, please.

And to say that you keep finding

men who willingly

come to your hell, terrible.

Terrible?

Terribly exciting of course.

Often did I bet with my

Friedrich as to who will

be the next dead person in

this house.

It is very exciting, and

still it is always

surprising, really.

Here you are.

Thank you, dearest.

I did in fact place my bet

on your father.

And whose turn was it?

Your Gottfried, how one can

be mistaken.

Yes, how one can be mistaken.

Can't one?

And your bosom becomes more

mature, dearest,

bigger too. How do you do it?

With cotton wool.

I'm aware of men's taste,

I know what provokes them

at first sight.

And I can't sleep without

a man in bed.

Shame, Geesche.

Shame? Why?

You can't

always speak right out what

you think.

And yet, excuse me, with you

all this no longer matters.

With all this

to and fro, and she does not

know any secrecy,

then a woman has cleared the

hurdle, hasn't she?

To be quite honest,

I shouldn't like to be

like you.

I've been with my husband

for 15 years,

he thinks for me, the dear,

he works.

And whatever he wants from

me he can have. Yes.

Have you never felt a desire

to know more of the world

than you know?

Never.

And have you never thought

that it must be nice

to be free from all you

have learnt?

Geesche, the way you speak,

and what you think,

Answer.

No, of course not.

feel so faint, dearest,

really sick.

That is because you drank

poison with your coffee.

Poison?

In you coffee.

How charming, dearest.

A joke which couldn't have

suited you better.

This is no joke. I have

poisoned you, truly.

You have...?

No, no, you can't do that.

Yes, dearest, honestly.

But... why?

I wanted to prevent you from

having to continue the life

you're living.

She... is dead.

She just collapsed and died.

How terrible.

I went to the criminal court,

Geesche, and had those white

pellets examined, which you

put into my coffee.

You wanted to kill me.

Why?

Now I shall die.

World goodbye - I'm tired of you.

I want to go heavenwards...
