Mephisto

00:
01:05,746 -- 00:01:09,842

I'll give my heart just to one man

2

00:
01:10,016 -- 00:01:13,816

The greatest lo ve since time began

3

00:
01:14,154 -- 00:01:17,817

He'll come my wa y and he'll be strong

4

00:
01:18,225 -- 00:01:21,854

And he will sing me lo ve's sweet song

5

00:
04:20,440 -- 00:04:23,967

- What happened Mr. Hfgen?

- What do you want?

6

00:
04:24,077 -- 00:04:26,477

I don't need you now!

Go to hell!

7

00:
04:43,063 -- 00:04:48,194

We're invited to a boring banquet.

Sorry, but we ha ve to lea ve now.

8

00:
04:48,335 -- 00:04:51,031

Can't you sit with us, Dora?

9

00:
04:51,171 -- 00:04:52,570

No, we're much too late.

10

00:
04:52,706 -- 00:04:55,539

Sorry, good e vening.

11

00:
04:55,675 -- 00:04:58,439

I wanted to sa y you were

marvelous tonight.

12

00:
04:58,545 -- 00:05:01,708

It was fantastic. Thank God I saw it.

13

00:
05:01,848 -- 00:05:07,377

You fra ud, you didn't see the show.

Ne ver mind, you're talented.

14

00:
05:07,520 -- 00:05:09,920

Me? Talented? Sa y it louder.

15

00:
05:10,490 -- 00:05:14,324

Yes, you're very talented,

Herr Hfgen.

16

00:
05:14,761 -- 00:05:19,164

I'm sure you'll soon be able to show

just how talented you are.

17

00:
05:19,432 -- 00:05:21,662

I must be going, goodbye.

18

00:
05:34,381 -- 00:05:36,872

- Bck. Se ven marks.

- But Hendrik...

19

00:
05:37,017 -- 00:05:40,418

...if you need mone y

I can lend you fifty marks.

20

00:
05:40,687 -- 00:05:44,453

This is men's business.

Bck likes giving mone y.

21

00:
05:46,526 -- 00:05:49,586

Good e vening, Miklas.

Thank you.

22

00:
05:49,996 -- 00:05:50,985

So...

23

00:
05:54,634 -- 00:05:58,126

...Doctor Kroge lets me starve.

24

00:
05:58,304 -- 00:06:02,206

Hfgen, you old sinner!

Take a seat.

25

00:
06:02,308 -- 00:06:04,572

Well, Director,

how'd you like the show?

26

00:
06:08,682 -- 00:06:11,048

What's getting you down, Hendrik?

27

00:
06:12,986 -- 00:06:15,682

That I'm a pro vincial actor.

28

00:
06:17,724 -- 00:06:21,216

Is that all? Nothing else?

29

00:
06:45,785 -- 00:06:46,979

Hello.

30

00:
06:49,322 -- 00:06:51,415

You're late.

31

00:
06:51,825 -- 00:06:56,626

One da y, I'll come to fetch you.

32

00:
06:57,030 -- 00:06:59,021

Don't you dread that, Heinz?

33

00:
06:59,132 -- 00:07:02,829

- Please don't call me Heinz.

- Why not? That's your name.

34

00:
07:04,137 -- 00:07:05,764

I dislike it. Understand?

35

00:
07:06,973 -- 00:07:09,305

Perfectly, Heinz.

36

00:
07:09,442 -- 00:07:14,345

You can't e ven drink a beer like

a man who feels like drinking one.

37

00:
07:14,447 -- 00:07:15,436

Shall we start?

38

00:
07:15,548 -- 00:07:17,709

What was that about beer?

39

00:
07:19,652 -- 00:07:22,780

It's not your style,

simply to call for a beer.

40

00:
07:22,889 -- 00:07:27,223

"A beer, please" sounds

phony when you sa y it.

41

00:
07:27,527 -- 00:07:29,392

I don't drink, Juliette.

42

00:
07:29,596 -- 00:07:32,588

I know, Heinz. Take your shoes off.

43

00:
07:50,850 -- 00:07:52,715

Come on...

44

00:
07:54,687 -- 00:07:58,282

One, two...

45

00:
08:41,734 -- 00:08:43,326

One, two...

46

00:
08:43,536 -- 00:08:45,060

...one, two, three, four...

47

00:
08:46,172 -- 00:08:47,366

On one...

48

00:
09:24,177 -- 00:09:25,940

Don't fall down now.

49

00:
09:33,386 -- 00:09:34,478

Faster!

50

00:
09:34,854 -- 00:09:38,847

Faster!

Show me what you can do.

51

00:
09:38,958 -- 00:09:42,450

You want to be an actor

and show off for mone y, too?

52

00:
09:45,732 -- 00:09:48,166

You comical picture of misery.

53

00:
10:04,918 -- 00:10:08,012

If you liked this music,

you wouldn't get tired.

54

00:
10:08,121 -- 00:10:10,646

You alwa ys la ugh at me, Juliette.

55

00:
10:13,626 -- 00:10:17,494

I can't cry. Would you

lo ve me if I could cry?

56

00:
10:17,597 -- 00:10:20,430

I lo ve you anywa y.

57

00:
10:20,533 -- 00:10:24,435

You only lo ve yourself, Heinz,

and e ven then not enough.

58

00:
10:24,804 -- 00:10:28,638

Keep talking.

What you sa y is very nice.

59

00:
10:29,242 -- 00:10:34,612

Your only concern is your face

being de void of human e xpression.

60

00:
10:37,350 -- 00:10:39,341

It's a mask, you hear?

61

00:
10:39,452 -- 00:10:43,286

I, too, ha ve skin and bones

and body weight...

62

00:
10:43,389 -- 00:10:46,722

...and e yebrows and fingernails,

just like you.

63

00:
10:49,195 -- 00:10:54,497

I, too, feel the cold.

I can be hungry and thirsty.

64

00:
10:54,600 -- 00:10:56,363

I, too, think of my mother.

65

00:
10:56,469 -- 00:11:00,132

And I know there are

Philistines and Communists.

66

00:
11:00,340 -- 00:11:04,538

But my e yes are not my e yes.

67

00:
11:05,878 -- 00:11:11,475

My legs are not mine,

my face is not mine.

68

00:
11:11,651 -- 00:11:16,850

My name is not my name,

beca use I am an actor!

69

00:
11:18,291 -- 00:11:21,454

Do you know what it

means to be an actor?

70

00:
11:21,861 -- 00:11:26,264

An actor is a mask...

71

00:
11:28,601 -- 00:11:30,091

...among human beings.

72

00:
11:43,316 -- 00:11:45,511

Juliette...

73

00:
11:47,720 -- 00:11:49,017

Juliette...

74

00:
12:41,841 -- 00:12:44,401

Ladies and gentlemen,

I ha ve the honor...

75

00:
12:44,510 -- 00:12:48,173

...of welcoming you to the

first reading of the pla y.

76

00:
12:48,714 -- 00:12:54,448

Ma y I introduce our guest,

Nicoletta von Niebuhr...

77

00:
12:54,620 -- 00:12:58,579

...who will pla y the female

lead in this production.

78

00:
13:05,865 -- 00:13:08,925

Do you mind if my friend

watches the rehearsal?

79

00:
13:09,302 -- 00:13:10,667

I ha ve no objection.

80

00:
13:13,272 -- 00:13:16,605

- Two cognacs, please.

- Yes, director.

81

00:
13:18,144 -- 00:13:20,078

Coming up right awa y.

82

00:
13:20,279 -- 00:13:21,769

Three beers, please.

83

00:
13:22,315 -- 00:13:24,306

There you go.

84

00:
13:24,417 -- 00:13:27,079

Please e x cuse me.

85

00:
13:28,888 -- 00:13:31,015

Please e x cuse me.

86

00:
13:35,628 -- 00:13:36,925

Father Hansemann...

87

00:
13:37,029 -- 00:13:39,554

Hendrik, will we look

lo vely in this pla y?

88

00:
13:39,665 -- 00:13:40,757

We are lo vely.

89

00:
13:40,867 -- 00:13:44,428

Ma y I introduce my best friend,

Barbara Bruckner?

90

00:
13:44,537 -- 00:13:45,868

Nice to meet you.

91

00:
13:46,305 -- 00:13:47,294

What?

92

00:
13:47,406 -- 00:13:50,068

There's a nice smell of

la vender about you.

93

00:
13:50,276 -- 00:13:52,767

Can you smell the la vender, too?

94

00:
13:53,513 -- 00:13:57,677

How shocking, on a man.

But I need it like my daily bread.

95

00:
13:57,783 -- 00:14:01,048

A little on the temples is

as good as a night's sleep.

96

00:
14:01,154 -- 00:14:05,022

Sleep would be better,

but there's no time.

97

00:
14:06,359 -- 00:14:08,793

A beer and a mineral water.

98

00:
14:09,028 -- 00:14:11,519

We'll hear what he has to sa y...

99

00:
14:11,631 -- 00:14:15,567

...use the good bits,

then pla y it our wa y.

100

00:
14:16,335 -- 00:14:18,565

He's good, but old-fashioned.
