one way or another

I can't help you, I bought it at the time

for the Oil Company, for a very decent price

but then I'm ...

Ledermann has bled me dry completely

five drillings,

and not a drop of oil

this has happened to many before,

Jaskulski

can't you help me out?

I'm sorry, I'm in a tight spot myself

and I don't know if I can break clean

but you'll make heaps

with your shares of the salt mine

I've pawned them to the Oil Company

I've put all my money into one investment

so you don't want to

Sonja

Garcia's made me feel worried

let him talk

he's just annoyed

that he isn't in on the deal

did he impress you?

- No. Only his car

- I can believe that

but we'll have one like that too, soon,

and then I'll show you the whole world

Rome, Paris, London

and what else is new?

how pretty

The Last Night

starring Kte Legoz-Vonn

each shot a hit

- Miss Maniu

- Did you watch it? How is the film?

fabulous

with loads of alcohol

and now I've gotten thirsty

such a thirst!

look where you're going, you fool

ah it's you, Jaskulski

will you join us for the circus,

I'm paying

you've treated me decently earlier,

joined the ???

the sponger

help yourself, Stefan,

help yourself

all this is very grand, dearest friend

no offense,

but how are you paying for all this?

all on credit, my dear,

just erect a drilling tower in your garden

and the money starts to pour

and what if the oil turns out to be vinegar?

in that case, I suppose, Sonja will know what to do

the good child arranges everything,

without asking me of course

the reason for the astonishing enlargement

of your circle of acquaintances

does it astonish you, Baron?

I'm astonished at nothing anymore

the good people are just wallowing in oil

and we, on the other hand,

are still sitting dry

one moment, sir ...

drop the genteel act,

better tell me if we've struck oil

so glad you could come

the children are well I hope

well old girl, still bustling about?

and you've recovered from your accident?

you mean this here?

a splendid convalescence

I've a hard skull,

but my wife still can't sit down

what a delightful conjugal life

cigarette?

shall we dance?

with pleasure

tell me, how can you bear this Anatol?

I can't

and what's keeping you from leaving this dump?

or who's keeping you?

my interests

business or private?

maybe both

are you sweating too, Miss?

Herr Gregor, we must quit now,

the men have been working for 10 hours already

haven't you called in the 2nd shift?

but there are no more men available in Anatol!

but we must keep on working tonight,

at any price

in a few hours we'll have oil

the guys are dead tired

send down to them a few bottles of wine,

but don't let them stop

only Jaskulski, drunk again

nonsense, he's hurt

no, just a cut with a knife

he's gotten beaten up again

have you never seen the Golden Horn,

have you never heard of the wonderful palaces,

marble steps down to the water

- marvelous

- that's where I live

unfortunately all alone

in Turkey?

all alone?

I don't believe you

please another glass for me

Sonja, I'm planning a big surprise

thank you

I think we'll strike oil tonight

that's nice.

it'll impress our guests

I hope it'll impress you too, Sonja

I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy this spectacle.

You know my view.

And mine oppose it.

allow me to remain neutral, gentlemen

cigarette?

thank you

I've just talked to Constantinople

on the phone

just in case your plans here shouldn't materialize,

I've a proposition for you

yes?

you're to exploit new oil fields for us

what do you say to this?

nothing

I've a mission to accomplish here

I thought so too,

that you've a mission to accomplish here

you thought you'd turn Anatol into something,

and what did you turn Anatol into?

into a happy city

into an intoxicated city

aren't you dancing?

no, I want to "pour one behind the collar"

I beg your pardon?

"lift a jug"

you want to have a glass of wine?

no, I only drink champagne

then you must take the trouble

and go to the buffet yourself

good idea

permit me, Mademoiselle

Sonja

I'm determined to be astonished at nothing

but I must say, in my time, a young girl

didn't flirt with two men at the same time

in your time, Mumi,

it wasn't practical.

I hope you're enjoying yourself, Herr Gregor?

yes, thank you, Madame

excellently

but you're not dancing

I was just asking Sonja to dance

you're dancing a lot with Garcia

are you jealous?

do I have reasons for it?

you're on bad terms with Garcia

you know, one should beware of men like him

you're afraid of him?

I'm afraid of nothing

but Jacques!

they've cleaned me out, the dogs

down to my last Kreutzer

kicked me out and bled me dry

and why all this?

you! it's your fault

you!

I've never raised any hopes in you, Jaskulski,

but if you believe it's my fault, then I'll help you

yes, help me, Franziska

stay with me, forever

be reasonable, Jaskulski,

it'll all turn out well again

he's made you unhappy too

despite your money

and he's ruined me

the bastard

and now he's up there,

making love to that other woman

now I'll go up to him

and beat him to death

- No!

No, you're staying here!

you're staying here, you're staying ...

you're still in love with him?

none of your business

come on, lie down,

be reasonable

we'll talk tomorrow

have a good night's sleep

I'll get your blanket

I see

there's the devilish plan

there's is the place it all started

and this is where it'll end.

pay attention, now it'll start,

I'm in the know

I'm an expert

Music!

everybody get out, gypsies

out, come on,

Mirko, champagne

wine, come on,

everybody get out

Music! march!

and champagne

now you'll be freed of all your worries,

dearest friend

let's hope so

quick. now you'll be astonished!

I've stopped being astonished for some time now

Jacques Gregor

bravo bravo

- what's going on there?

- we'll see about that right now

Drilling Master, what's going on,

tell us

To err is human, a pity,

my congratulations, Herr Gregor

Jacques, I'm so happy,

come along

one moment

Sonja

I have to disappoint you

we've struck on something

but not on oil, but on water

water?

yes, pure spring water

a benefit for the city of Anatol.

but no riches for you and me

- Water?

- what say of my nose, old lady?

it isn't pretty

but what has it got to do with the water?

I've always said

that boy is going to build a water pipeline

water?

come with me, Alexander,

we cannot have anything to do with such people

- pardon

- good evening

and for this you had to ruin our rose garden?

but Sonja!

I don't understand you

all right, this is a failure,

but after all not the end of the world

it's worse, it's a disgrace

- to err is human ...

- you shouldn't have erred

you've promised too much

Sonja!

it's your fault anyway

it's all my fault anyway

Herr Garcia, I have to apologize

you were right after all

don't mention it, Mademoiselle
