If anyone sa ys the y do, the y're lying.
890
01:
30:12,787 -- 01:30:16,655Besides, the General's a nice chap
and he knows a lot about the theater.
891
01:
30:16,758 -- 01:30:19,556He's not so closed minded
as most others.
892
01:
30:19,661 -- 01:30:25,361A well beha ved bo y who wants to
enjo y the rewards for good beha vior.
893
01:
30:25,467 -- 01:30:28,664- Yes, I like to be well beha ved.
- Beca use you're afraid.
894
01:
30:31,306 -- 01:30:34,434- I like it.
- Then you should.
895
01:
30:34,542 -- 01:30:39,070It will be difficult to sta y with me
and maintain good beha vior.
896
01:
30:43,685 -- 01:30:46,279Damned black woman, right?
897
01:
30:46,654 -- 01:30:50,181I can't help being different
from what's allowed here.
898
01:
30:50,291 -- 01:30:54,557People can spit in my face
in the street.
899
01:
30:54,662 -- 01:30:57,563Only I can't do anything about it.
900
01:
30:57,665 -- 01:31:02,125My nose, my hair remain the same
e ven if I want something else.
901
01:
31:02,237 -- 01:31:06,867Yet, I'm German, a German Negro.
German is my mother tongue.
902
01:
31:06,975 -- 01:31:10,240What am I supposed to do?
Where should I go?
903
01:
31:10,378 -- 01:31:14,041I don't know. I don't e ven know
what will become of me.
904
01:
31:14,949 -- 01:31:17,042You think only of yourself.
905
01:
31:17,218 -- 01:31:20,847And like an idiot,
I dreamt of us ha ving a child.
906
01:
31:20,989 -- 01:31:22,354That's all we need.
907
01:
31:22,590 -- 01:31:29,052Is the child to be to blame, for she
might ruin her father's career?
908
01:
31:29,164 -- 01:31:30,995That's enough now!
909
01:
31:31,733 -- 01:31:35,294- That's enough of that now!
- Now it is enough?
910
01:
31:35,603 -- 01:31:42,099I can see why your wife
couldn't stand living with you.
911
01:
31:44,412 -- 01:31:48,508Here... I pinched a photo
of you once. Look at it!
912
01:
31:49,150 -- 01:31:50,845Do you recognize yourself?
913
01:
31:50,985 -- 01:31:52,885I must speak to you.
914
01:
31:53,354 -- 01:31:56,152To tell me what you've said
behind my back?
915
01:
31:56,257 -- 01:31:57,952I don't know what you mean.
916
01:
31:58,059 -- 01:32:01,722Hfgen would bury his mother alive.
Didn't you sa y that?
917
01:
32:01,830 -- 01:32:04,697I won't dispute that I dislike you.
918
01:
32:05,233 -- 01:32:08,361- What do you want?
- I want you to sign this.
919
01:
32:08,469 -- 01:32:10,801My signature? What for?
920
01:
32:11,005 -- 01:32:14,702You want a raise?
Or do you collect signatures...
921
01:
32:14,809 -- 01:32:18,870...beca use theater safety
regulations are a bit unsafe?
922
01:
32:19,147 -- 01:32:26,076From a moral standpoint much seems
unsafe. And I don't mean the theater.
923
01:
32:27,922 -- 01:32:29,856What do you protest against?
924
01:
32:29,958 -- 01:32:33,450Against a leadership that
disregards our rights.
925
01:
32:34,829 -- 01:32:38,560But you were in the Nazi party,
back when you were in Hamburg.
926
01:
32:38,666 -- 01:32:40,258I'm lea ving the party.
927
01:
32:42,170 -- 01:32:43,728That's your business.
928
01:
32:44,105 -- 01:32:48,508I'd like to ask you to
read our protest and sign it.
929
01:
32:50,144 -- 01:32:55,548Regardless of my opinion, you are
toda y's leading German actor.
930
01:
32:57,018 -- 01:33:00,078Let me sa y that
I won't e ven read this thing.
931
01:
33:01,422 -- 01:33:05,654Be careful not to get yourself
and others into real trouble.
932
01:
33:06,027 -- 01:33:08,120Miklas, you can go to hell.
933
01:
33:13,701 -- 01:33:16,602I won't let a dirty pig like you
pro voke me.
934
01:
33:34,422 -- 01:33:35,446Dear God.
935
01:
33:38,493 -- 01:33:41,087Congratulations, my dear Hfgen.
936
01:
33:41,696 -- 01:33:46,258You put it precisely.
Some elements must go to the de vil.
937
01:
33:46,367 -- 01:33:49,825If you were a soldier,
I'd promote you. I'm very pleased.
938
01:
33:51,272 -- 01:33:54,867By the wa y, you needn't be afraid.
939
01:
33:54,976 -- 01:34:01,677For the fun of it, I checked
your horoscope. It's e x cellent.
940
01:
34:02,417 -- 01:34:05,352- Best of luck, Hfgen.
- Thank you.
941
01:
34:12,026 -- 01:34:13,357Did something happen?
942
01:
34:18,766 -- 01:34:20,131Good morning.
943
01:
34:43,458 -- 01:34:44,948Get walking!
944
01:
35:23,197 -- 01:35:29,102The management regrets that Hans
Miklas has died in a car accident.
945
01:
35:32,774 -- 01:35:34,639How awful, such a young fellow.
946
01:
35:37,111 -- 01:35:41,172But, frankly, there was something
disquieting about him...
947
01:
35:41,249 -- 01:35:42,876...don't you think?
948
01:
35:45,787 -- 01:35:47,618Disquieting...
949
01:
36:01,235 -- 01:36:03,829That was no car accident.
950
01:
36:08,042 -- 01:36:11,239He must ha ve come to you, too,
with that protest.
951
01:
36:11,345 -- 01:36:15,941Are you insane?
How can you talk such nonsense?
952
01:
36:16,617 -- 01:36:19,950Why shouldn't it ha ve
been a car accident?
953
01:
36:20,354 -- 01:36:24,120a car accident...
954
01:
36:24,225 -- 01:36:26,819...all for some unknown actor?
955
01:
36:28,129 -- 01:36:30,791We're not in some
tenth-rate melodrama.
956
01:
36:31,632 -- 01:36:35,159People shouldn't cross
roads in hea vy traffic.
957
01:
36:42,944 -- 01:36:48,177I've great plans for you. We're alone.
You can refuse and remain an actor.
958
01:
36:48,950 -- 01:36:52,909But then you can't do as much
for our ca use as you could.
959
01:
36:54,789 -- 01:36:58,589Your speech was good.
I realized you're not only an actor.
960
01:
36:59,894 -- 01:37:05,890You put the essence into words.
Write your own biography, Hendrik.
961
01:
37:06,767 -- 01:37:11,670Submit it to me, as soon as possible.
Hfgen...
962
01:
37:12,507 -- 01:37:16,944...you will manage the Prussian
State Theater. Your task is easy:
963
01:
37:17,044 -- 01:37:22,846A full house and a wildly
enthusiastic, a udience for you.
964
01:
37:23,518 -- 01:37:24,610Do you understand?
965
01:
37:26,454 -- 01:37:31,915No need to enlarge upon
those matters in Hamburg.
966
01:
37:33,060 -- 01:37:37,759Nor need we mention
the Re volutionary Theater.
967
01:
37:37,865 -- 01:37:40,663Just mention some of
your roles there.
968
01:
37:46,941 -- 01:37:50,877What did you really imagine
in Hamburg?
969
01:
37:52,680 -- 01:37:55,012How could you ha ve conceived...
970
01:
37:56,250 -- 01:38:02,621...promoting Russian Bolshe vism?
You, a German. I ncredible!
971
01:
38:03,858 -- 01:38:06,691- Where is your wife now?
- I n Paris, I belie ve.
972
01:
38:06,794 -- 01:38:11,322No, she's in Amsterdam,
working against her Motherland.
973
01:
38:11,432 -- 01:38:13,696The y're publishing a newspaper.
974
01:
38:17,038 -- 01:38:19,438You don't correspond with her?
975
01:
38:19,941 -- 01:38:23,104
