Ah, Lutz, my friend.
I must remind you once again,
Herr Professor,
I am not your friend.
Aha, but I am yours.
You're a lucky fellow, Lutzy.
My name is Lutz,
and as usual Professor Juttner,
you will be late.
What can his highness
learn from you?
A teacher
and you can't even tell time.
Small minds
stick with the clock.
His highness is always punctual.
That's
what I've been trying to do,
educate him out of it.
I don't know
why I bother with you.
It's your duty, Lutzy my lad.
I only do it
to please his highness.
His highness'
very words to me were
my dear Lutz,
if you could make the professor
look more presentable. "
And I said,
your highness.
Every man is entitled
to his honor.
Oh, we're late!
A most appropriate sermon
considering the day.
Thank you, your majesty.
Permit me to congratulate
your royal highness
on your forthcoming betrothal.
And may I include good wishes
for Princess Johanna
of North Hausen.
Thank you.
She will be here tomorrow
and you can extend them
to her in person.
She is as gracious as
she is beautiful.
This marriage has truly
been planned in heaven.
Our prime minister
is too modest.
when the princess and I
was still children.
Of course with your blessings,
grandfather.
Should your royal highness
feel the need of
spiritual guidance and comfort,
I am at your command.
always been the knowledge
that I am doing my duty
for Karlsburg.
Well, Karl.
all the preliminaries,
but victory or defeat
is in your hands.
Tomorrow may well decide
the future of our country.
So when you
propose to the princess,
I count on you to carry it out
with your usual efficiency.
It won't be too difficult.
From her pictures,
she seems very attractive.
And in a receptive mood.
Why not?
It is true they have the money
but we have the blood.
They are merchants,
we are kings.
Oh, I should have worked
that subject, my boy.
She can afford to be fussy.
Don't worry, grandfather.
For such a dowry,
I'd marry a princess
with two heads.
Then I need scarcely remind you
that our treasury is empty.
Our treasury has been empty
for 200 years.
Yet somehow we have survived.
We have survived
when other thrones have fallen
not because we have been rich,
but because the men
of our family
have always been
extremely eligible.
Our code of arms reminds us
our wealth has been our sons.
Sir, when I hold her in my arms,
I will do my best for Karlsburg.
Her royal highness, the princess
Johanna of North Hausen.
You know, Ferddie,
I believe Karl is even better
looking than you were at his age
Not at all.
My dear, Mathilde,
it's just that time
has dimmed your memory.
Perhaps.
But at any rate, they'd make
a very handsome couple.
I can already see
their profiles on the coin.
Mother is very impressed with
I'm pleased to hear it.
And what did you think of it?
After all these years,
are great fun, don't you?
Fun, Johanna?
Training our troops
is my responsibility,
and I assure it's
the hardest kind of work.
One can't ever let up.
I think...
that doesn't leave much time
for relaxation
or for dances like this,
does it?
Very little.
Why? Does my dancing show it?
Your highness dances
with firmness and precision.
But the throne of Karlsburg
won't fall
if you loosen your knees a bit.
Forgive me.
I've always considered
the parade ground
more important
than the dance floor.
perhaps,
one of my junior officer...
Everyone is looking at us.
I didn't come to Karlsburg
to find a dancing partner.
Why don't you invite me to see
the view from the garden?
Here now, this is much better.
No one is looking at us.
So perhaps we can at last
look at each other.
It's almost time for us
to receive the diplomatic corps
of both kingdoms.
Let them wait.
We owe ourselves
a little time together.
Surely we'll have plenty
of opportunity in the future.
I don't consider marriage
an introduction.
Aren't you curious to know
what kind of a person
you will spend
the rest of your life with?
I confess I am.
Oh, you needn't be?
I shall be a most punctilious
and considerate husband.
Karl, come here.
Look at me.
Forget your princely
self-possession for a moment.
I'm sure that even the
great warrior, Frederick the...
What's his name?
Frederick The Bold.
Even he must have had time
for other things.
After all,
he did found the dynasty.
We're quite alone.
Quite alone.
I hope I misjudge your highness.
wishes to be treated
like the ordinary woman,
one in contrast on maneuvers.
Oh, then you have
encountered other women?
What a question?
But that's no answer.
Very well,
I have on many occassions.
I find it hard to believe it.
Perhaps I can convince you.
Well?
Typically Karlsburg,
well-trained and precise.
Your arms are very strong, Karl.
But your heart
doesn't beat any faster.
You are a king first,
last and always
You complement me.
I don't mean to. Kings bore me.
Prussian virtues are impressive,
but cold comfort aren't
on a long winter's night.
Some coffee?
No, thank you.
You've ruined my sleep as it is.
My dear, Ferddie, I am merely
giving you an honest opinion.
You asked me to find out
and I'm telling you.
Karl won't do.
Just what does she expect?
A human being,
not a Prussian machine.
Karl was raised to be a soldier.
he is admired by...
by his regiment.
Johanna came to get a husband,
not to enlist.
The world is full of husbands,
but there are
very few crown princes.
I don't know
how you raise this girl,
but even she should see that
Karl is no ordinary fellow.
But there are times
when even a prince
should behave
like an ordinary fellow.
I know how important this
alliance is to you, Ferddie.
But you must face facts.
You, too, Mathilde,
must face facts.
Money will not get you
what you want.
What do you mean?
An interesting thing
has happened
to the royal families of Europe.
royal princes around.
There are eight sons
in Grabnick.
They never bathe.
There's Prince Olap.
He has ah... buck teeth.
Do you want your grandchildren
to have backed teeth?
Ferddie, that's blackmail!
Well, even the king must live.
Well, let's not quarrel.
We both want this marriage.
I'm not blaming Karl.
It's your fault.
You've taken
a perfectly nice boy,
and brought him up
to be a Prussian pickle.
Pickle?
He has the best education.
Not education, training.
You haven't taught him how to
get along with people.
They'd be no problem
with your honor
if you'd only get him to radiate
Warmth and charm.
Professor Juttner, did
his majesty sent for you, too?
Well, it must be serious.
