The Blue Angel Page #3

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

...is an ordinary top hat.

without secret door,

without double bottom.

This hat...

my dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I will now put upon

the head of my August,

and will permit myself to

draw out a living pigeon!

My dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I know that you think

the magician has already

clipped the pigeon into the hat...

Oh no.

Nothing what you thought.

Please. Empty...

Empty. All empty!

Another proof that the hat is empty...

I have here an ordinary field dagger...

One...

Two...

Three...

Four

My dear Ladies and gentlemen,

do not be startled by the gun

what you now see in my right hand.

Hopla!

And now has my August

This is disgusting!

Call the police!

Mr. Sorcerer,

My eggs are all gone...

Would you lay a few for me...?

Why... Of course, Director.

Of course I can. With great pleasure.

My dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I will now permit myself

to extract a few eggs from the nose of...

...my August.

Gather your wits together, August!

You were once a professor!

Perhaps you're under the impression

that August has the eggs hidden in his hat.

Quite wrong!

Another pigeon...

The eggs!

Where are the eggs?

Very good,

ladies and gentlemen.

at once, our model's

prompt service.

One... two... three...

An egg!

Where's

your "Cock-a-doodle-do"?

An egg!

A good, fresh-laid egg!

Please!

Lay more eggs!

Lay more eggs!

If you don't crow this time,

I'll break you!

Once more.

One... two... three...

An egg! We think it's a real

good, freshly-laid egg!

Crow! "Cock-a-doodle-do"

Your "Cock-a-doodle-do"!

"Cock-a-doodle-do"

I'll break your neck!

"Cock-a-doodle-do"

Cock-a-doodle-do!

You idiot!

Don't you touch me!

I didn't do anything...

Get on with your number!

On to the stage...!

Was that necessary?

Falling in love again

Never wanted to

What am I 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

What am I to do?

Can't help it...
