The Blue Angel Page #2

Synopsis: Germany 1924. Middle aged Dr. Immanuel Rath is a literature professor at a boys college. Most of his students don't much like him, often calling him "unrath" - German for garbage. Dr. Rath learns that many of his boys often frequent a cabaret called Der blaue Engel - the Blue Angel - which he believes is corrupting their impressionable young minds. He heads to the Blue Angel himself to catch the boys in the act and shame them into not going again. Over several visits, Rath is able to catch the boys, but in the process he also understands what attracts the boys, namely the headlining performer Lola Lola. Rath falls under Lola's spell, he who falls in love with her - and she seemingly with him - so much so that he wants to marry her and give up his teaching career to be with her on her travels from cabaret to cabaret. Their relationship ends up not being what either envisioned, the question being how they will both deal with their disintegrating relationship and the reasons behind that d

Of course! It'll put

some marrow in your bones!

Really?

Was it delicious?

Yes.

Now you're presentable again.

Come with me.

Why?

Come out with me.

For which reason?

Don't you want

to hear Lola sing?

Ladies and gentlemen!

It gives me great pleasure to present to you

our guest of honor,

Dr. Immanuel Rath,

Professor of the local high school!

Pleased to meet you, Professor!

Falling in love again

Never wanted to

What's a girl to do?

Can't help it...

Love's always been my game

play it how I may

I was made that way

Can't help it...

Men flutter to me

like moths around a flame

and if their wings burn

I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again

Never wanted to

I just can't help it...

Falling in love again

Never wanted to

what's a girl to do?

Can't help it.

Love's always been my game

play it how I may

I was made that way

Can't help it

Men flutter to me

like moths around a flame

and if their wings burn,

I know I am not to blame

Falling in love again

never wanted to

what's a girl to do?

can't help it...

"DO RIGHT AND FEAR NO ONE"

Professor!

Breakfast!

Morning, Immanuel!

Gute Morgen, huh,...

Good morning.

Breakfast, Professor!

Come on, darling.

The coffee gets cold.

Sit down.

Do you always snore, sweetheart?

I think I drank a little bit

too much last night.

Really? I wish I had your capacity...

One?

Two?

Three.

My, my... Sugar daddy...

Good?

Wunderbar... Marvelous!

See? You could have

this every day.

Why not?

I'm still a bachelor.

I have to go to school.

What did you say?

The school!

Hold still!

Here you are.

To remember me by...

Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?

Give me a kiss.

Do you love me?

Don't you?

Yes, yes! Sure, sure!

See you!

Morning, Professor!

Good morning.

Sit down!

Good morning, Professor!

I'll have you all put in jail!

Miserable brats!

Leave the classroom!

I'm sorry, my friend,...

...but you've left me no choice.

I must request your resignation.

Hello, Professor!

Don't you have anything to do?

Why did I ever marry you!

I've asked that myself.

Why are you standing around?

You know the way now.

Hello!

Awfully nice of you to

come and say goodbye!

My dear Miss Lola...

I...

Oh! What beautiful flowers!

Thank you!

Don't be so sad...

I'll be back next year.

Young Miss Lola,

if you permit me...

...to offer this too.

And may I also ask you to be my wife?

Wife?

Yes.

Oh, you're so sweet!

I hope you realize

the importance of this hour.

Ladies and gentlemen!

I will permit myself...

Won't you be quiet

for just five minutes?

Now the tears are going to be turned on.

Exactly like my own wedding.

If I had only had known you then...

instead of this 'magician'...

perhaps I'd be the wife

of a Professor instead of...

Now he's going to

Sit down!

And shut up!

All your wailing won't prevent me

from giving the professor...

a demonstration of my art.

Mister Professor,...

I will now commit myself...

to extract a few eggs

from your nose.

You see I have nothing concealed in my hands!

Attention please, Professor.

Watch me closely.

Sweetheart, let me have my suitcase.

You'll never make a living that way.

What's this?

Postcards, milord.

Of Mrs. Professor...

We sell them by the carload.

As long as I have a penny,

...these postcards will not be sold!

Pick them up anyway.

They may get dirty.

How's the business?

Two postcards...

Cheap crowd!

Cheap crowd?

He's got dirt.

Let him better take a shave!

You'd better look.

We're not at school!

You can't blame him.

You might get yourself cleaned up.

Anyway, you have no cause

to call the house a cheap crowd.

They give us a living,...

Yeah...

...a living...

...a fine living.

If you don't like it,

you can go.

I can go... I can go...

I'm through

I know I'm through!

I can't stand it anymore!

Get me my stockings.

Quickly, quick!

My curling iron!

It's too hot!

Well, Professor,

how are we today?

How about a cigar?

Havana...

You seem to be in an especially

good mood today, Director.

I am!

But you should be, too.

Leave him alone.

Stop making fun of him!

Be quiet!

Your husband is to become

a big attraction!

Here. Contract.

Settled by wire.

And where?

In the "Blue Angel"!

- "Blue Angel"?

- Yes.

Back to your old hometown.

Think Professor.

Professor Immanuel Rath!

Never!

I won't go back!

You'll change your mind.

I'll never change my mind!

O really?!

For five years you've supported

that good-for-nothing...

and now that he can make a living,

he says no.

Stop it! He'll go.

I won't go!

Tomorrow morning. 9 o'clock.

We leave!

I can't go! I won't go!

I can't go...!

Don't get excited.

No! No!

Do with me what you want...!

That's something I won't do...

You won't have to go...

No! No! No!

I won't go!

I won't go!

Never!

Personal appearance of

Professor Immanuel Rath

Gentlemen!

Please go home quietly!

Everything is sold out!

This is the most important moment of

your whole career.

If everything goes well,

you're a made man!

Gala in Berlin,

perhaps London,

Tinsel!

Hippodrome, New York!

That's enough!

You want to get him all worked up!

We're at the "Blue Angel".

Don't be a killjoy!

And what do you think you're doing?

Do something useful...

Where's the nose?

The nose?

Yes, the nose!

Where did it go?

Chairs... more chairs!

Chairs! Are there any more chairs?

Standing room only!

Don't get excited, Mister Professor!

Don't get excited!

Be calm! Please! Oh, wonderful...

He's right.

Keep cool like I am...

Just don't get excited!

Don't let yourself get nervous!

Just watch me!

You'll be alright!

Great night for you!

Put it over!

When I see a beautiful woman,

it is a moi.

That is my reputation.

What's wrong?

Why the long face?

Every time I feel good

you stage upon the action!

A little domestic affair?

Ahh...!

Don't be sad!

Be like me!

Adelbert Mazeppa,

the strong man.

Better say goodnight,

that's your third cue!

A little drink?

Voil!

Your husband is very crazy.

He's mad!

Where are you hiding?

What's wrong with you?

Come on stage then!

Lola, come down!

I will not go on!

What's wrong with you now?

You can't cut a month of business!

A minister first class...

What happened to you?

Are you mad?

You've got to go on!

Put on his wig!

What do you say?

You don't want to go on?

- Of course...

- Are you crazy altogether...?

- Leave it to me...

- I won't have any of this stuff...

Go out!

And quickly!

Where's the professor?

I can see,

Ladies and gentlemen,

that no further

introduction is necessary...

I will not try your patience any longer...

I have the great honor

to present our beloved

Professor Immanuel Rath!

Come on, come on...!

Ladies and gentlemen,

may I introduce...

August,

my best student!

My dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

You can plainly see that I receive

no external aid whatsoever,

but work only with my two hands,

my ten fingers...

What I now show you,

my dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
