The Student Prince Page #6

the customers never ask,

and the head waiter

is my best friend.

My darling.

Kathie! Kathie! Kathie! Kathie!

Stop it! Stop it!

Where is Kathie tonight?

Don't worry about Kathie.

I myself

will take care of everything.

Turn around!

What?

Turn around!

Step forward a little.

That's enough!

Sorry,

you're no substitute for Kathie.

Where is she?

The truth, Ruder, the truth!

I... sent her away this morning.

She misbehaved.

Struck one of the customers.

Well, if she did, he must have

had it coming to him, uh?

He certainly did.

The young gentlemen

want their beer.

No beer, Ruder.

No beer.

We want Kathie!

We want Kathie...

Where is she?

Where is who, your highness?

You know who and you know where.

Speak up, Ruder.

I can't.

I can't. My lips are sealed.

I promise.

It's a matter of honor.

You could torture me.

Wild horses couldn't

drag it out of me.

But if your highness

is really angry,

I wouldn't blame you

if you went across the river,

to Groswaltz. restaurant

near the park.

It wouldn't be my fault.

I'm just angry enough

to do that, Herr Ruder.

The river boat

leaves every hour.

Kathie, I'm terribly sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Now... now, go away.

One linden soup.

I don't blame you

for being angry,

but it wasn't my fault.

I'm not angry.

One kraut and Frankfurt.

It won't be as good

as your uncle's.

Then go back there.

Not without you.

Please stop it.

You'll spill the soup.

Who is he?

I never saw him before

in my life.

Outside! I don't know

how you got in here.

But get out the same way.

Quiet!

Outside!

Don't you shout at me!

Outside!

You'll regret this impertinence!

So will you.

Outside.

Let me go! You'll get me fired.

Exactly why I'm here.

This maybe a joke to you.

It isn't.

You're leaving here with me

if I have to drag you.

Let me go!

What's going on here?

She refused to take my order.

He tried to molest me.

Really, do I look like

the sort of person

who would do that kind of thing?

Frankly, yes!

I know you students.

The wild irresponsible lad.

I shall have to

ask you to leave.

This is a public eating place.

I must ask you to leave.

And if I don't?

Oh, that's the way he always

gets when he's been drinking.

Obnoxious!

Outside

or I shall call the police!

Go ahead! Call the police!

it will look fine in the papers.

What will your grandfather say

when he reads about it?

Outside.

Oh, Kathie!

Did you hurt yourself?

Don't touch me!

Everytime you come near me

I get in trouble.

You clumsy fool!

You... you stupid girl!

Don't talk to her like that!

Shut up!

Look at those broken dishes!

Is that all you can think about?

Suppose she broke her legs?

Suppose she cut her face?

Who cares about the dishes?

I do.

Who'll pay for it!

If I feel in the mood I may.

If you feel in the mood!

Who do you think you are?

The Kaiser?

No, but you're getting warm.

Oh, you crazy students

are all alike.

Big talk and no money.

Out or I'll throw you out!

Try it!

No, no, no fighting.

Your grandfather

wouldn't like it.

Even as a favor to your uncle,

this is too much!

Oh, I'll pay for the dishes

and I'II...

No! Turn in your uniform.

You're through!

I'm awfully sorry that

this happened,

but just

a very unfortunate incident.

please excuse, I must apologize.

Did he fire you?

Thanks to you, he did.

Good.

Now you'll have to come back.

Only for tonight.

Tomorrow I'll find another job.

Where are you going?

The ferry land is down this way.

I'm not going

on the same boat with you!

But I have to get home, too.

Do you want me to swim?

I don't care if you drown.

My grandfather wouldn't like it.

Come on! We can have the same

argument as we walk along.

I have nothing to say to you.

Kathie, please say something.

Anything.

It's a lovely night.

I said it's a lovely night.

Yeah, lovely night!

Please come home, Kathie.

The students are all waiting.

They swore not to drink any beer

unless you're there.

They'll change their minds

when they get thirsty.

But what about me?

It was awful this morning.

I rang for breakfast.

And do you know what happen?

Lutz came in with the tray.

How dreadful!

But you can always pinch Lutz.

I could,

but it's not as much fun.

Kathie,

I've never said this before

and it's very difficult for me.

If I offended you last night,

I'm sorry and I apologize.

Please come back.

It's better if I don't.

No, listen.

It's allright for you to pretend

to be an ordinary student.

When things get too involved,

you can always

become a prince again.

But I can't pretend.

I can't be anything

but just what I am.

But nobody wants you

to be anything different.

Please come back.

I'll be on my best behavior.

I promise.

I don't believe you.

You're still angry

about last night.

Last night when I kissed you,

it wasn't the beer.

Overhead the moon is beaming

White as blossoms on the bough

Nothing is heard

but the song of a bird

Filling all the air

with dreaming

Could I hear this song forever?

Calling to my heart anew

My darling

While I drift along forever

Lost in a dream of you

I hear your voice in the wind

that stirs the willows

I see your face in the stars

that shine above

Hold me closer

Tonight we love

The willows bending

the stars that shine

The shore lights blending

they're yours and mine

Drifting along in my heart

there's a song

and the song in my heart

will not fade

Oh, hear my serenade

My moonlight serenade

Overhead the moon is beaming

White as bloosoms on the bough

Nothing is heard

but the song of a bird

Filling all the air

with dreaming

Could this beauty last forever?

I would ask for nothing more

Believe me

Let this night but live forever

Forever and ever more

His highness

has never been out so late.

If anything happens to him,

the king will shoot you.

That's naturally!

And if I were king,

I'll have you hang.

Believe me if you were king,

I would hang myself.

It's the end of you, Ruder,

the absolute end.

How can you

sit there calmly writing?

Calmly?

I'm writing my will.

Ah, your highness,

you're back safe and sound.

And happy.

Uncle Ruder,

I brought Kathie home.

She's in her room

and she's gonna stay.

Oh, Lutz,

even though you're interference

has caused me

a most enjoyable evening.

In the future, don't interfere!

And Ruder,

from now on, ignore Lutz.

Lutz, I ignore you.

Just a minute, Herr Ruder,

I warn you.

Just a minute, Herr Lutz!

I warn you.

Make any more trouble

and I talk to my niece, Kathie.

And Kathie will talk to

her friend, his highness.

And his highness will talk to

the grandfather, to the king.

And the king will talk

to the Kaiser.

And the Kaiser will talk

to the other Kaiser.

And one Kaiser to the other.

And do you know

what will happen to you?

You will end up pressing pants

in a secondary clothing shop.

Herr Lutz!

I ignore you.

Strange things

happen on a summer night

When the bells begin to chime

It could happen to someone

just like you
