You were fantastic, Hendrik.
463
00:

464
00:
51:18,789 -- 00:51:22,350You sa y that with a
touch of malice, Dora.
465
00:
51:22,459 -- 00:51:25,519Not true, I don't detest
people for what the y are.
466
00:
51:25,629 -- 00:51:29,725- Anywa y, thank you for coming.
- Let's skip the cliches.
467
00:
51:29,967 -- 00:51:33,425- What's your ne xt project?
- I'm learning English.
468
00:
51:33,537 -- 00:51:35,402English? Why?
469
00:
51:35,506 -- 00:51:39,533- I'll be working in America.
- But why?
470
00:
51:39,743 -- 00:51:43,042Here the curtain's descending.
Ha ven't you noticed?
471
00:
51:43,147 -- 00:51:49,416You're at the top here, hit after hit.
Thousands adore you. So why go?
472
00:
51:49,520 -- 00:51:53,479Thousands! Soon the y'll be
ra ving about others.
473
00:
51:54,925 -- 00:51:59,328There'll alwa ys be theater,
no matter what happens in Germany.
474
00:
51:59,630 -- 00:52:03,157No matter what happens in Germany?
You really mean that?
475
00:
52:05,335 -- 00:52:10,432Well, all the best.
I'm lea ving in a few da ys.
476
00:
52:11,475 -- 00:52:13,966I n a few da ys?
477
00:
52:14,077 -- 00:52:16,602I don't want to wait till it's too late.
478
00:
52:16,880 -- 00:52:19,781But you'll alwa ys do well, Hendrik...
479
00:
52:20,017 -- 00:52:22,815...no matter what happens
in Germany.
480
00:
52:32,329 -- 00:52:33,591It's open.
481
00:
52:34,998 -- 00:52:42,063Mephisto, I ne ver lock the door.
Need neither bolts nor life insurance.
482
00:
52:42,206 -- 00:52:46,336- I bet you've taken one out.
- I need no life insurance.
483
00:
52:46,443 -- 00:52:49,708Sit down, sir, in my new home.
484
00:
52:49,980 -- 00:52:53,108You could ha ve
gotten me a nicer flat.
485
00:
52:54,751 -- 00:52:57,914- Ha ve you registered with the police?
- Yes, sir.
486
00:
52:58,021 -- 00:53:00,785What did the landlord sa y?
487
00:
53:00,891 -- 00:53:05,089Nothing. He was drunk,
humming a song...
488
00:
53:05,195 -- 00:53:07,720No neckties, no gold we've got...
489
00:
53:07,831 -- 00:53:11,597He ga ve me the ke y and I mo ved in.
490
00:
53:17,307 -- 00:53:19,707I've been longing to see you.
491
00:
53:20,844 -- 00:53:25,907- And how's your wife?
- She's with her father, thank God.
492
00:
53:26,517 -- 00:53:30,920The y're worried about the Republic.
493
00:
53:38,562 -- 00:53:44,330I n Hamburg, the foreigners were also
494
00:
53:44,568 -- 00:53:49,028...about German culture,
whose Number-One-Parrot you are.
495
00:
53:49,139 -- 00:53:53,940As if a peril threatened it. What are
the Jews planning against Germany?
496
00:
53:54,044 -- 00:53:56,478Even the whores wonder...
497
00:
53:56,580 -- 00:54:00,744...and the y don't care about
the pant color as long as it has a fly.
498
00:
54:01,285 -- 00:54:04,686Barbara understands politics,
doesn't she?
499
00:
54:05,088 -- 00:54:07,147Is she keeping an e ye on you?
500
00:
54:08,125 -- 00:54:13,028No. Mostly her opinions
are the opposite of mine.
501
00:
54:13,163 -- 00:54:17,361- Ha ve you told her so?
- No. What point would there be?
502
00:
54:17,834 -- 00:54:20,428Words don't sa y e verything.
503
00:
54:22,773 -- 00:54:27,870I'd like very much to sleep with you.
504
00:
54:28,145 -- 00:54:30,477Shall I make up the bed?
505
00:
54:31,348 -- 00:54:32,337Yes!
506
00:
54:35,652 -- 00:54:38,587Hendrik! Hendrik!
507
00:
54:41,158 -- 00:54:44,093Hendrik, wake up! Didn't you here?
508
00:
54:44,695 -- 00:54:46,458You're here already?
509
00:
54:46,597 -- 00:54:49,122I came on the early train,
beca use of you.
510
00:
54:49,232 -- 00:54:52,633- What's the matter?
- When did you go to bed?
511
00:
54:52,903 -- 00:54:56,532I'm tired. I was tossing all night.
Why?
512
00:
54:56,640 -- 00:55:00,508The Nazis ha ve won the elections.
You know who became Chancellor?
513
00:
55:00,611 -- 00:55:01,669No.
514
00:
55:07,050 -- 00:55:08,381Do you hear that?
515
00:
55:09,686 -- 00:55:11,381Do you hear that?
516
00:
55:16,026 -- 00:55:19,462become Chancellor?
517
00:
55:19,563 -- 00:55:20,928Here, read it.
518
00:
55:21,098 -- 00:55:25,364to fear from the Nazis.
519
00:
55:27,137 -- 00:55:30,402Remember that business with Miklas?
520
00:
55:32,809 -- 00:55:38,247That could ha ve unpleasant
consequences. What do we do now?
521
00:
55:40,283 -- 00:55:44,743Keep a clear head and don't panic.
522
00:
55:45,822 -- 00:55:50,782become Reichs-Chancellor.
523
00:
55:52,162 -- 00:55:57,225But there still is the opposition, no?
Communists and Social Democrats.
524
00:
55:57,868 -- 00:56:01,804The y'll make sure he doesn't
get too big for his boots.
525
00:
56:02,105 -- 00:56:05,836Perhaps there'll e ven
be armed resistance.
526
00:
56:08,111 -- 00:56:14,573And e ven if the Nazis sta y in power,
527
00:
56:14,685 -- 00:56:16,209I'm from the Rhineland.
528
00:
56:16,319 -- 00:56:20,517So are my parents.
What can happen to us?
529
00:
56:20,657 -- 00:56:24,058On top of that, I'm an actor. No?
530
00:
56:24,995 -- 00:56:30,797I go to the theater, pla y my parts,
then go back home. That's all.
531
00:
56:30,901 -- 00:56:34,337Some people are lea ving a country...
532
00:
56:34,438 -- 00:56:38,306...where a career in the arts
is now impossible.
533
00:
56:38,909 -- 00:56:43,005People will think you don't care
about anything be yond the limelight?
534
00:
56:43,113 -- 00:56:47,948There were elections in a democratic
state. One party won, that's all.
535
00:
56:48,051 -- 00:56:53,011I've ne ver been interested
in politics, so why now?
536
00:
56:53,156 -- 00:56:56,284Don't you realize
what's happening here?
537
00:
56:57,060 -- 00:57:04,193Don't answer it. I'm not here,
I'm sick. Sa y what you want.
538
00:
57:06,970 -- 00:57:11,339Is that any solution? To lock
yourself in, to hide, not be at home?
539
00:
57:11,441 -- 00:57:17,038Is that all you can think of,
instead of taking a definite stand?
540
00:
57:17,180 -- 00:57:21,810Definite... this is my answer!
Hamlet! Shakespeare!
541
00:
57:21,918 -- 00:57:25,877Either we take a stand or go,
if our freedom is in danger.
542
00:
57:25,989 -- 00:57:30,050This is the only form of freedom
for me, for an actor.
543
00:
57:30,260 -- 00:57:33,821You can't hide behind Shakespeare,
on the stage.
544
00:
57:33,930 -- 00:57:39,334Barbara, I'm an actor.
An actor in Germany at all times.
545
00:
57:39,469 -- 00:57:42,404You can go awa y.
Your father is a famous writer.
546
00:
57:42,506 -- 00:57:46,101You can design sets anywhere,
or buy antiques.
