Stadt Anatol Page #5

---

- you must

- but you're so drunk

but what else can I do,

since you're so mean to me

Herr Jaskulski, please let go of the lady

we're not at Koroschek's

shut up

leave me, you drunkard

Jaskulski, be reasonable,

leave the girl alone

move aside

Jaskulski

you're totally drunk

you dog

I'm sorry

don't get excited, ladies and gentlemen,

nothing's happened

music

throw the gentleman outside, but careful,

he's a regular customer

waltz, ladies and gentlemen,

ladies' choice

ladies, please dance

Jacques, you've handled that wonderfully

the way he fell to the ground,

that was great

- he'll surely leave me alone now

- I hope so

- and now we'll dance, shall we

- no, Franziska, I must speak to you, alone

Xaver, where can we have a quiet talk?

over there in the private box

shall I serve a liquor,

or champagne?

- champagne please

- leave us

what's the matter with you?

don't you like me?

no

but this is the latest model from Adrianopolis

then let them wear it in Adrianopolis

here we go

I don't want to see this here in Anatol,

and least of all on yourself, Franziska

- my bird too?

- yes the bird too

now you're looking much nicer

and now the war-paint

open your mouth

but I only did it to please you

but it wasn't quite the right thing

Franziska

now be a good girl and go home,

this is no place for decent ladies

I'm probably keeping you from having fun

that's nonsense

do you think I'm stupid

do you imagine I don't know

that you're visiting the Yvolandis daily

visiting your Sonja

please be ...

it's all over town,

but I won't stand it

Franziska, don't be so mean to him

he's made us all happy

you mustn't scold him

you see:

you mustn't scold me

come, be a good girl and go home

no

what's the matter?

if you loved me just a little bit

then you'd go home now

oil! oil!

oil! at my place

I've found oil

I'm a millionaire

where's Jacques Gregor?

my benefactor,

my benefactor

and how! colossal!

Xaver come here

kids, come with me,

music, champagne

champagne, one case

six cases

isn't it beautiful?

if only it were Slivovitz

evening Herr Gregor

what do you say to this?

great quality.

Anatol oil will become a world brand

Vila?

what are you doing out on the street

in the middle of the night?

Stefan has gone mad,

he's tearing down our house

he wants to dig for oil

Stefan!

have you gone mad?

what are you doing?

away with it, away!

away with the stuff

away

everything down to the last stone

Ledermann must build me a drilling tower

I want to have my oil too

oil!

oil!

oil!

spend the night with the child at the inn

I'll fix that tomorrow

Alexander, you're coming with me,

you mustn't consort with those people

but sweetheart, be gentle,

today's a day of rejoicing

- but you're drunk

- thank God I am

last night Samos stabbed his brother

in a quarrel about a piece of land

and Sakin hanged himself

because of debts

I don't know how you young people feel about it

I don't like it

but Mumi, those are teething troubles

Anatol is just developing

I can see that

some people cannot resign themselves to it

one mustn't be sentimental about it

that's a question of temper, Sonja

here it says, a water-melon seller's wife

threw a pressing iron at her husband's head

when he came home with a showgirl

not every wife has such a sense of humour

good day, Franziska

oh Jacques

I've ordered such pretty things from Adrianopolis,

sweet isn't it [Canova: Cupid and Psyche]

real marble

hold it

I don't know where to put it

on the vertiko, on the piano

Franziska, I'd like to talk something over with you

yes, what is it?

oh, both arms broken off

I can't find those arms

listen to me for a moment

we're good friends aren't we

yes

of course

look here, Franziska

we can't go on like this for ever

yes

I see

I'll go on helping you of course

when you need anything

yes yes

just leave

I'm not keeping you

Franziska

you're the most decent guy in the world

don't think this place is right?

don't you think one can glue on the arms again?

don't be sad

don't cry

adieu

you

do you really ...

do you really want to leave?

yes

then go!

get out of here!

run to that dame of yours!

Franziska

I wanted to part with you

in a decent manner

yes I know

you've become a gentleman

and I'm just a clumsy peasant girl

get out!

Jacques is gone ...

good evening, General Director

Herr Gregor is usually here at this hour

perhaps he's still at the salt mine

then I'll wait

whose car is it?

General Director Garcia's

hey you!

stay back!

Herr Jaskulski

but that was the last one,

you must vacate the quarry now

Herr Gregor ordered us

to start on the job by tomorrow

what? you want to dig here?

what we'll be doing here

is none of your business

then have fun,

with those rocks around here

heavy ground isn't it

and empty out that dynamite depot of yours too

we don't want to have anything to do with it

all right

we aren't advancing any further

on your vineyard, Herr Jaskulski

I've had everything dismantled already

- what? then I'm ... - it would be best

to start here right away tomorrow

here in the quarry? rubbish!

it doesn't belong to me anymore,

I've sold it to Jacques Gregor

are you mad, man!

here where there's oil!

just a few delves of the spade below the surface.

And you've sold it!

but that's not possible!

oil?

here, in the rocks?

but if I'm telling you!

but then he ...

what a crook

the bastard! the cheat!

and I thought I'd cheated HIM

Paris at this time of the year

is always very hard to find

may I?

what a wonderful transmission

and no disturbances when you're driving?

not even at top speed

would you like to see for yourself?

ah Herr Gregor

Herr Garcia has been waiting for you for some time

hallo Herr Gregor

good day, Herr Garcia

did you have a nice trip?

thank you, thank you

the roads are terrible, but my car is very good

yes, marvelous

- you're a fantasist, Herr Gregor

- why?

a drilling tower in the midst of those roses

does credit to your sense of beauty

but whether you'll be successful,

at least our engineers differ about that

I've been in the right against your engineers before

I feel dead certain about my project

don't you think the Oil Company's interest

would be better served by purchasing other parcels of land?

it's already been accomplished, Herr Garcia

tomorrow we start drilling in the quarry,

it'll probably be successful and ...

by the way, here I'm working at my own risk

then I wish you success, Herr Gregor

he's got to have the time to see me!

that would be the limit!

I must see him!

it's about my own neck

excuse me

we'll met at the office in the afternoon

well, business deals sometimes

have disagreeable side-effects

do you really think

Herr Gregor won't find any oil here?

drilling for oil is always a speculation,

but in this case Herr Gregor seems

to have lost his head completely

which is understandable

I must get my quarry back,
