''To Cabaret.''

Yes?

Good day, miss.

l am looking for Schneider.

Do you speak...?

l am looking for a room.

Mrs. Schneider is not at home.

Have you a cigarette, darling?

l am desperate!

Oh, yes.

-Yes, l think so.

-Oh, fantastic.

You're American.

Oh, God, how depressing.

You're meant to think

l'm an international woman of mystery.

l've been working on it like mad.

l was told there might be

a room to rent, here.

Not too expensive l...

...l hope.

Divine decadence.

-l'm Sally Bowles.

-l'm Brian Roberts.

Come in, Brian darling.

A fine English cigarette.

Oh, God, l've even begun

to think in German.

-How long have you been here?

-Forever.

How long is that?

Almost three months.

lt's the most marvelous boarding house.

Marvelous lodgers.

Everybody's broke, of course,

but who isn't these days?

Now there's Fraulein Mayr,

who is a masseuse...for ladies only.

And there's Fraulein Kost,

who's a terribly sweet streetwalker.

Fraulein Kost, Fraulein Mayr.

Mayr tells Kost's fortune every morning.

lt's always the same.

''You'll meet a strange man,'' which, under

the circumstances, is a pretty safe bet.

The toilet.

Fraulein Kost's room.

Oh, you can just imagine.

Here it is, darling.

Well, what else do you need in a bedroom

besides a bed?

Pupils. l've got to give English lessons

to pay the rent.

Well, look, you can use my room for that.

See? Practically a suite. Come on in.

You'll adore these.

Prairie oysters, darling.

lt's an egg with Worcestershire sauce,

all sort of whooshed up together.

Fifty marks with breakfast,

even when l'm behind on the rent.

Divine, isn't it?

-Of course, l'm hardly ever in.

-Why not?

Well, l dash all day

and l work late at the Cabaret.

Now...these work instantly,

even on the most sinister hangovers.

Of course, l may bring a boyfriend home

occasionally, but only occasionally...

...because l do think that one ought

to go to the man's room if one can.

l mean, it doesn't look so much

as if one expected it, does it?

Exactly.

l see you've acquired a lot

of worldly wisdom.

Oh, not wisdom, darling, instincts.

l have ancient instincts.

l have this strange, mystical...

...thatish feeling about you.

So you're moving right in, okay?

Okay.

Prairie oysters?

Cheers.

Peppermint prairie oyster?

Oh, you got the toothpaste glass.

-Meine Damen und Herren.

-Meine Damen und Herren...

...mesdames et messieurs,

ladies und gentlemen.

The Kit Kat Klub...

...a very beautiful young lady.

She is so beautiful...

...and so talented, so...

...charming, l have only yesterday said,

''l vant you for my vife.''

Und she said, ''Your vife,

what would she vant with me?''

...Fraulein Sally Bowles.

''You have to understand

The way l am, Mein Herr

''A tiger is a tiger

Not a lamb, Mein Herr

''You'll never turn the vinegar

To jam, Mein Herr

''So l do, what l do

When l'm through then l'm through

''And l'm through

Toodle-oo!

''Bye-bye, Mein Lieber Herr.

''Farewell, Mein Lieber Herr.

''lt was a fine affair

But now it's over.

''And though l used to care

l need the open air.

''You're better off without me,

Mein Herr.

''Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr,

Or wonder why, Mein Herr

''l've always said that l was a rover.

''You mustn't knit your brow,

You should have known by now

''You'd every cause to doubt me,

Mein Herr.

''The continent of Europe

ls so wide, Mein Herr.

''Not only up and down

But side to side, Mein Herr.

''l couldn't ever cross it

lf l tried, Mein Herr.

''But l do what l can

''lnch by inch, step by step

''Mile by mile

''Man by man.

''Bye-bye, Mein Lieber Herr.

''Fairwell, Mein Lieber Herr.

''lt was a fine affair,

But now it's over.

''And though l used to care,

''Bye-bye, Mein Lieber Herr....''

You know, you're really very good.

l know, darling, isn't it fabulous?

Listen, l want you to meet Fritz Wendel,

absolutely my oldest friend in Berlin.

Brian Roberts.

He's a divine playboy,

hurtling from party to party...

...seducing everyone in all directions.

You mustn't believe from Sally.

l'm a most serious man of business.

Making import-export with machineries.

Listen, Fritz is crazy

to improve his English...

...so he can dazzle fat American divorcees.

And l said you might deign

to give him lessons.

Darling, give me one of those cigarettes.

One moment.

Oh, you've got to try one of these.

They're absolutely devastating.

l'm sure they're filled with opium,

or some such thing.

They make me feel wildly sensual.

Till later.

She's hot stuff, yes?

No, thank you.

Oh, you're not mistaking me.

We do not sleep on each other.

That is correct? ''On?''

''With.''

''With.''

Linken Lieselotte...

...72 kilos.

Her father, you know,

is a big ambassador from Washington.

An ambassador?

Oh, yes, dear chap.

And soon, with her, l think,

l am entering the high diplomatic circles.

Strict rules will be obeyed.

Sally tells me, sir, that you're
