Yes, death still exists.

But soon ii will disappear.

- What ls that supposed to mean?

- I'm speaking of the future.

But some people are already

on the right path.

And there won't be any unhappy

people there?

No. The unhappy are dangerous.

Quite dangerous.

Doctor! I'm over here!

Margaretel It is late!

Come! What are you dolng

sitting there?

Is this a pleasure garden or what?

We must go home!

- I'm coming, Mother!

- Quickly, quickly!

Why are you running round

with your skirt raised?

- What an innocent child!

- Don't touch her!

- No groping!

Thank you. Goodbye,

my guardian angel.

- I'll be thinking of you.

- You're shameless!

Up here it's safer, isn't it?

Why are you roaming about?

Think of your brother!

He lies In his grave,

and what are you doing?

- I thlnk only of him!

- I know what you're thinking about!

You Ilttle whore!

It's a disgrace! A disgrace!

What will people say?

One should never joke with women.

Ma ma, wait!

That wasn't exactly timely.

Who is he anyway?

Why did you bring the mother here?

I! was lime.

You begln In secret, with just one.

And then another.

And soon the whole town will have you!

You know where this will lead you?

What are you dolng here?

Come with us!

No, I don't know!

What binds a woman tn a man?

Don't you know?

No, I have no idea.

Three things...

...money...

...lush and a shared household.

That has a cynical ring.

Cynical?

L!'s strange to hear that frnm you.

Yet another moraliser.

I have the rlght tn accuse others

of being cynical...

...because I myself am different.

Clean.

Pure.

You - clean, pure?

Who told you that?

Ever since Eve was tempted,

the world has not been pure.

It wasn't I who tempted her,

but a distant ancestor.

A snake just like you.

Good day!

- Are we headed the right way?

- Where are you going?

- To Paris.

- To Paris? Paris is that way.

Get in!

- Would you llke to go to Paris?

- That's the last thing I need.

- Show me the way.

- I'm tired.

Let's ride with him for a bit.

Let's ride with him for a bit.

Someone is lying in here, snoring.

Doctor! Climb in...

...or the best seats will be taken,

as so often happens in life.

Get in, get in!

Come on!

Hey, careful!

Lousy Krauisl

Let's be off! Straight ahead!

I want to get out.

It smells here!

- The man stinks terribly.

- Maybe it's a woman.

You'd know better than I.

Your little doll quickly took the bait.

How I'd love to spit In your

impudent face!

But I still have need of you...

...perhaps.

- Together we're strong.

We accomplished a lot today. We made

the family of the murdered man happy.

- Indeed! We made them happy.

You talked to Ma rga rete in private.

- Mind you, thanks to me.

- It was too brief.

Too brief?I

Do you wan! to be with her for longer?

Then it's called seduction.

Good morning!

Selifan, give me my jacket! And teal

And so it is.

But I want to all the same!

How boring!

I was sleeping.

Selifan, where ls my jacket?

We have guests.

- Is he a madman?

- ND, he's Russian.

- How do I approach her?

- You'll have to impress the girl!

But how?

Show her that you can read her

secret thoughts.

- Glrls like that sort of thlng.

- Stop it!

Even you won't be able to flnd

nu! her secret thoughts.

Selifa n, kick them nut!

Stop] We've arrived!

It's mass you need to stay the masses.

Come on, Doctor!

You're not yet man enough

to deal with those devils.

- What do you mean not yet"?

- You must learn to trust yourself.

- Nonsense!

- Your desire to live is great...

...but your strength Is small.

- Were you serious...

...about reading her thoughts?

- Even you can't do that.

- I can't. But her confessor can.

I'm not a confessor.

- You could become one.

- Me? Her confessor?

- I feel you have strength.

- You're mocking mel

I'm not mocking you.

I have a plan.

When was the last tlme

you went to church?

Last year.

Margarete goes a little more regularly.

Nearly every day.

Nearly every day?

So what?

- How Is that going to help me?

- You're hungry, too?

Everyone here ls starving.

Continue fighting. The world is big.

And our priest...

...is he also one of your clients?

Well, then.

See you later.

Rather tasty.

I did my best, as always.

Such pretty things.

Where did you get the money for them?

Your student...

Your student pawned off

some of your lectures on somebody.

Although I have no Idea

why anyone would want them.

One doesn't have

to know everylhi ng, Ida.

One more thing. Professor.

There was someone here

for you, a professor.

He wanted to invite you to his lecture.

I asked hlm, "Who are you?

What do you wa nt?"

He said:

"I wa nt to see Professor Faust."

- Thanks, Ida.

- You're welcome.

I sald:
"You have no business here.

Go to the unisity."

"University"I

That's what I said, "Unisity."

- "He's there day and night." I said.

- Yes, it's all so terribly horrible.

- Decent gentlemen sleep at home...

...in their own beds.

Katharinal

I'm busy!

I'll save her.

What do you want, Frau Hagemann?

I want some bread.

- Where were you?

- Everybody has been waiting.

What did she tell you, Adelhelma?

Where is your mother, Gretchen?

There she is.

Where have you been?

They're going to eat everything up!

Margarete. where are you going?

I'm going outside.

There he is.

Where can I make a donation?

It's you! I haven't seen you

in a long while.

How large is the donation?

It's not small.

How hard the uphill road would be...

...in silence, sweat, and effort...

...if every now and then we did not meet

3 TCSS [IPOD DUI' Wiy...

...that nodded to us:

"Look, I'm in bloom!"

Please, come with me.

What would we da without...

...the generous hands

of our benefactors.

He who has no hand makes no fist.

Elsa! I forgot my basket

in your house!

I'll bring it by later!

There she ls. What a coincidence!

No, it's no coincidence!

I must speak with you. Don't be afraid!

I despise everything coarse.

I know how you feel.

I was there at the cemetery.

- Didn't you see me?

- Let me pass!

I was Ihere.

I'm so happy today!

It's such a happy, important day!

Do you think he ls Faust?

He isn't Faust! I am Faust!

He stole all his ideas from mel

- He ls a usurper!

- What did he say?

Yes, I'm little Wagner.

I am the great Wagner!

- We believe you.

- The very great Wagner!

- Shall I take your measurements?

- I am the great Wagner!

The very great Wagner. I am Faust.

I've done it!

I mixed the essential oils...

...of asparagus and dandelion...

...with a hyena's liver.

And thus I created...

...a homunculus.

I mixed...

...with a hyena's liver.
