Mephisto Page #7

547

00:
57:46,209 -- 00:57:49,144

But I need the German language!

548

00:
57:49,246 -- 00:57:53,410

I need the motherland, don't you see?

549

00:
58:12,235 -- 00:58:13,998

- Who's there?

- Otto.

550

00:
58:14,104 -- 00:58:15,662

- Who?

- Otto.

551

00:
58:17,774 -- 00:58:20,572

- I must talk to you.

- You want some coffee?

552

00:
58:20,677 -- 00:58:22,338

- No, thanks.

- Tea?

553

00:
58:22,445 -- 00:58:27,542

Act with us again. It's the only reply

we can give to these e vents.

554

00:
58:27,651 -- 00:58:31,644

An appearance by all of us,

a common front.

555

00:
58:31,755 -- 00:58:34,155

So we don't lose our future.

556

00:
58:34,257 -- 00:58:39,388

You just want to divide the a udience?

We must work out our tactics.

557

00:
58:39,496 -- 00:58:42,090

Tactics will force us to our knees.

558

00:
58:42,199 -- 00:58:45,191

We must fight this

crushing demagogy.

559

00:
58:45,302 -- 00:58:52,333

It's our job to tell the hesitators:

Now is the time to resist dictatorship!

560

00:
58:52,442 -- 00:58:54,410

Otto, in the first place, we're actors...

561

00:
58:54,511 -- 00:58:57,639

No, not a protest on the street.

I'm talking about the stage.

562

00:
58:57,848 -- 00:59:00,578

Still, I think we should

wait a few da ys.

563

00:
59:00,717 -- 00:59:03,242

We must do something

immediately. Tonight.

564

00:
59:05,956 -- 00:59:10,086

Otto, I'd rather sta y

with the reserves.

565

00:
59:18,101 -- 00:59:21,264

Thank God

I've no performance toda y.

566

00:
59:30,580 -- 00:59:31,638

GERMAN REICHS-MAI L

567

00:
59:39,022 -- 00:59:42,549

Film contract, locations in Budapest...

568

00:
59:43,727 -- 00:59:48,289

...leading role.

Production Manager Altenburger.

569

00:
59:55,171 -- 00:59:59,164

She really is a bea uty.

She's sitting by the side altar.

570

00:
59:59,776 -- 01:00:03,268

Cut! Very good!

The second one.

571

01:
00:03,880 -- 01:00:10,410

Now the scene where the y follow her

to the Fishermen's Bastion.

572

01:
00:21,364 -- 01:00:22,831

What's going on?

573

01:
00:22,999 -- 01:00:24,694

What's going on?

574

01:
00:25,035 -- 01:00:26,935

Are we done for toda y?

Can we go?

575

01:
00:27,037 -- 01:00:30,006

- The Reichstag was burned down.

- What?

576

01:
00:30,140 -- 01:00:34,270

The y sa y the communists set fire to it.

577

01:
00:43,987 -- 01:00:48,117

Your wife wants you

to join her in Paris.

578

01:
00:48,258 -- 01:00:53,525

She didn't dare phone you. Don't go

back to Berlin. I'm mo ving to Vienna.

579

01:
00:53,697 -- 01:00:58,657

Many of your Berlin friends ha ve

vanished lately. Otto Ulrichs is one.

580

01:
00:58,969 -- 01:01:03,531

We must be prepared for anything.

I fear we'll ne ver be able to return.

581

01:
01:03,773 -- 01:01:10,110

The Nazis ha ve blacklists.

Your wife and you are on them.

582

01:
01:10,347 -- 01:01:15,250

Please, ne ver go back to Berlin.

Hendrik, promise me that.

583

01:
01:16,519 -- 01:01:17,611

Please!

584

01:
01:39,142 -- 01:01:41,667

Cheers, and many thanks!

585

01:
01:44,147 -- 01:01:46,240

Cheers!

586

01:
01:46,816 -- 01:01:49,546

To the most bea utiful

actress in E urope!

587

01:
02:17,747 -- 01:02:20,011

When are you going home?

588

01:
02:20,717 -- 01:02:23,686

I'll sta y a few more da ys in Budapest.

589

01:
02:23,787 -- 01:02:27,985

Then I'm going to see about

a contract in Vienna.

590

01:
02:28,158 -- 01:02:30,524

I understand you, Hendrik.

591

01:
02:31,461 -- 01:02:36,797

I'll tell you now, I'm not going

back to Germany, either.

592

01:
02:36,900 -- 01:02:39,368

I signed you for this part...

593

01:
02:39,469 -- 01:02:44,065

...so you, too, could slip awa y,

if you want to.

594

01:
02:44,441 -- 01:02:49,105

The film studio ga ve me your

address in Budapest.

595

01:
02:49,212 -- 01:02:52,477

I hope my letter reaches you.

I'm in Berlin now.

596

01:
02:52,582 -- 01:02:54,982

I've landed a part in a comedy.

597

01:
02:55,118 -- 01:02:59,111

During the shoot I met the

actress Lotte Lindenthal.

598

01:
02:59,355 -- 01:03:04,383

She's friendly with a National

Socialist who's very powerful now.

599

01:
03:04,494 -- 01:03:10,126

She's wonderful. She ne ver fla unts

what great influence she has.

600

01:
03:10,233 -- 01:03:16,570

I told her you were abroad and didn't

dare return, for certain reasons.

601

01:
03:16,673 -- 01:03:18,504

What's the man afraid of?

602

01:
03:18,608 -- 01:03:23,272

She said you were an eminent artist

and saw Mephisto se veral times.

603

01:
03:23,379 -- 01:03:29,375

"We need such actors", she said, and

she promised to speak to her friend.

604

01:
03:29,486 -- 01:03:34,856

This morning she said: "No matter

what silly things Hfgen has done...

605

01:
03:34,958 -- 01:03:38,792

...when it's an eminent actor,

people are tolerant."

606

01:
03:38,895 -- 01:03:44,663

Her friend has promised that nothing

will happen to you if you return.

607

01:
03:44,767 -- 01:03:49,067

Hendrik, Berlin awaits you.

You ha ve nothing to fear.

608

01:
03:49,172 -- 01:03:53,836

No one can replace you.

Those who rule our lives...

609

01:
03:53,943 -- 01:03:59,745

...know that the theater is a shelter

for me and people like me...

610

01:
03:59,849 -- 01:04:03,615

...in which we all feel safe

and ha ve nothing to fear.

611

01:
04:03,753 -- 01:04:07,883

It would be that for you, too.

Theater is a mission.

612

01:
04:08,024 -- 01:04:11,585

I n true friendship,

yours, Angelika Siebert.

613

01:
05:06,049 -- 01:05:07,016

Name?

614

01:
05:07,116 -- 01:05:09,084

- Hendrik Hfgen.

- Profession?

615

01:
05:10,119 -- 01:05:11,108

Actor.

616

01:
05:11,221 -- 01:05:12,210

Where?

617

01:
05:12,655 -- 01:05:14,646

At the State Theater in Berlin.

618

01:
05:25,034 -- 01:05:27,332

- Is something wrong?

- No, no.

619

01:
05:28,538 -- 01:05:29,596

Thank you.

620

01:
05:32,976 -- 01:05:34,170

Thank you.

621

01:
05:39,015 -- 01:05:42,712

I don't know if you'll

feel at home again here.

622

01:
05:43,953 -- 01:05:49,482

The spirit is different from

that you were accustomed to.

623

01:
05:51,227 -- 01:05:53,661

Cultural Bolshe vism is o ver.

624

01:
05:56,199 -- 01:06:01,330

There will no longer be a chance to

appear in your friend's pla ys...

625

01:
06:01,771 -- 01:06:07,573

...or those popular French farces.

We perform German art now.

626

01:
06:08,011 -- 01:06:14,575

Frankly, I saw no great reason

to recall you from abroad.

627

01:
06:15,385 -- 01:06:22,917

But Lotte Lindenthal wants you as

her partner in her comedy debut here.

628

01:
06:23,526 -- 01:06:26,518

I didn't want to displease her.

629

01:
06:27,697 -- 01:06:35,399

The role of elegant friend and seducer

shouldn't ca use you any difficulty.

630

01:
06:37,040 -- 01:06:38,667

I'm so cold.

631

01:
06:39,776 -- 01:06:41,641

I'll warm you up.

632

01:
06:42,145 -- 01:06:45,512

Your room isn't heated

in this dreadful weather?

633

01:
06:45,882 -- 01:06:50,285

Is this how you anticipated my visit?
