The Tin Drum Page #5

On my tenth birthday,

439

00:
52:02,327 -- 00:52:04,328

I stopped my growth.

440

00:
52:05,872 -- 00:52:07,164

Better late

441

00:
52:07,791 -- 00:52:09,250

than never.

442

00:
52:13,088 -- 00:52:14,588

Tell me, my dear Oskar,

443

00:
52:14,714 -- 00:52:17,174

you must be 14 or 15 now.

444

00:
52:17,300 -- 00:52:18,926

Twelve and a half.

445

00:
52:19,052 -- 00:52:20,553

No!

446

00:
52:20,679 -- 00:52:22,471

And how old do you think I am?

447

00:
52:24,766 -- 00:52:26,684

Thirty-five.

448

00:
52:27,811 -- 00:52:30,145

Flatterer!

449

00:
52:30,272 -- 00:52:32,982

I was 35 once.

450

00:
52:33,108 -- 00:52:37,319

I shall be 53 in August.

451

00:
52:37,445 -- 00:52:39,238

I could be your grandfather.

452

00:
52:40,365 -- 00:52:44,660

- Are you an artist too?

- Not really. Although...

453

00:
52:55,672 -- 00:52:58,924

...as you see, I can lay claim

to a certain artistry.

454

00:
53:04,848 -- 00:53:07,600

You must join us. You must!

455

00:
53:08,852 -- 00:53:10,436

You know, Mr. Bebra...

456

00:
53:15,734 -- 00:53:17,484

...to tell the truth,

457

00:
53:17,611 -- 00:53:20,863

I prefer to be

a member of the audience

458

00:
53:20,989 -- 00:53:24,408

and let my little art

flower in secret.

459

00:
53:25,327 -- 00:53:26,911

My dear Oskar,

460

00:
53:27,996 -- 00:53:31,081

trust an experienced colleague.

461

00:
53:31,207 -- 00:53:34,460

Our kind must never sit

in the audience.

462

00:
53:34,586 -- 00:53:36,670

Our kind must perform

463

00:
53:36,796 -- 00:53:38,088

and run the show,

464

00:
53:38,214 -- 00:53:40,215

or it's the others that will run us.

465

00:
53:42,385 -- 00:53:44,637

And the others are coming.

466

00:
53:44,763 -- 00:53:46,931

They will take over the fairgrounds.

467

00:
53:47,057 -- 00:53:50,684

They will stage torchlight parades.

They will build platforms

468

00:
53:50,810 -- 00:53:52,394

and fill them,

469

00:
53:52,520 -- 00:53:56,231

and from those platforms

preach our destruction.

470

00:
54:02,280 -- 00:54:06,116

They're looking for you, dear friend.

But we will meet again.

471

00:
54:06,242 -- 00:54:09,203

We're too little

to lose each other.

472

00:
54:39,359 -- 00:54:41,110

They are coming!

473

00:
55:11,599 -- 00:55:13,225

A radio!

474

00:
55:40,336 -- 00:55:41,754

Thank you, Uncle Jan.

475

00:
55:45,467 -- 00:55:47,718

These damn leggings

keep falling down!

476

00:
55:47,844 -- 00:55:50,345

- Good morning, cousin.

- Good morning, Alfred.

477

00:
55:50,472 -- 00:55:52,139

I need boots.

478

00:
55:52,265 -- 00:55:53,932

You know they cost way too much.

479

00:
55:54,059 -- 00:55:55,934

Or leather gaiters at least.

480

00:
55:57,187 -- 00:55:58,812

How do I look?

481

00:
56:00,690 -- 00:56:02,191

Going to the demonstration?

482

00:
56:02,817 -- 00:56:04,318

At the fairground.

483

00:
56:05,111 -- 00:56:06,820

A mass rally.

484

00:
56:11,534 -- 00:56:14,203

Gauleiter Lbsack is speaking.

485

00:
56:15,163 -- 00:56:16,830

And what a speaker he is.

486

00:
56:17,957 -- 00:56:22,419

I tell you,

these are historic days.

487

00:
56:23,338 -- 00:56:26,173

A man can't stand aside.

Gotta join in.

488

00:
56:29,385 -- 00:56:32,179

You should read the Danzig Sentinel.

489

00:
56:33,139 -- 00:56:35,849

Your siding with Poland is crazy.

490

00:
56:35,975 -- 00:56:37,976

I've told you a thousand times.

491

00:
56:39,020 -- 00:56:40,938

I am a Pole.

492

00:
56:41,064 -- 00:56:42,606

Think it over.

493

00:
56:43,525 -- 00:56:45,400

Take your umbrella.

It looks like rain.

494

00:
56:45,527 -- 00:56:48,695

An umbrella?

With this uniform?

495

00:
56:50,448 -- 00:56:53,659

The stew is on.

Stir it now and then.

496

00:
56:53,785 -- 00:56:55,285

It'll be done in 20 minutes.

497

00:
56:55,411 -- 00:56:58,038

- Want a bite to eat before you go?

- No time.

498

00:
56:58,164 -- 00:57:01,458

Duty is duty,

and schnapps is schnapps.

499

00:
57:42,667 -- 00:57:43,959

Blue!

500

00:
57:47,547 -- 00:57:49,298

Blue eyes!

501

00:
57:50,175 -- 00:57:51,633

Oskar too.

502

00:
57:52,927 -- 00:57:54,887

The Bronski family blue eyes!

503

00:
57:55,763 -- 00:57:57,514

We share them, both of us...

504

00:
58:00,643 -- 00:58:02,561

Jan, stop!

505

00:
58:06,274 -- 00:58:07,900

I can no longer bear

506

00:
58:09,068 -- 00:58:12,070

that he doesn't know.

507

00:
58:20,622 -- 00:58:25,667

My dear fellow countrymen

and countrywomen

508

00:
58:25,793 -- 00:58:30,005

from Danzig and Langfuhr,

509

00:
58:30,131 -- 00:58:34,134

from Ohra, Schiedlitz and Praust,

510

00:
58:35,011 -- 00:58:39,389

from the hills and from the lowlands,

511

00:
58:39,515 -- 00:58:42,267

I know that you all

512

00:
58:43,186 -- 00:58:47,689

cherish but one wish.

513

00:
58:47,815 -- 00:58:50,359

It has been our heartfelt wish

514

00:
58:51,819 -- 00:58:55,072

ever since the shameful

Versailles Diktat

515

00:
58:55,198 -- 00:58:59,701

separated us from our beloved

German fatherland.

516

00:
59:00,495 -- 00:59:04,873

And that wish is

to go home to the Reich!

517

00:
59:14,717 -- 00:59:18,929

What is the meaning

of this Free State

518

00:
59:19,973 -- 00:59:22,891

that was so generously

foisted on us?

519

00:
59:25,270 -- 00:59:28,981

It means that our waterfront

520

00:
59:29,107 -- 00:59:31,483

is crawling with Polacks.

521

00:
59:31,609 -- 00:59:34,569

And in the middle

of our beloved Old City,

522

00:
59:34,696 -- 00:59:38,365

they've stuck a Polish post office,

523

00:
59:38,491 -- 00:59:40,742

a present we can do without!

524

00:
59:46,541 -- 00:59:48,667

We Germans

525

00:
59:48,793 -- 00:59:50,836

had post offices

526

00:
59:50,962 -- 00:59:56,258

before the Poles even thought

of writing letters!

527

00:
59:57,218 -- 00:59:59,594

We taught them the alphabet!

528

01:
00:01,806 -- 01:00:05,100

And now, dear party comrades,

529

01:
00:05,226 -- 01:00:07,769

let us welcome

our guest from the Reich

530

01:
00:07,895 -- 01:00:10,981

whom the Fhrer sent to greet us.

531

01:
00:12,066 -- 01:00:18,572

Party comrade Albert Forster

has just arrived on the field!

532

01:
05:19,832 -- 01:05:23,335

Hey, can you catch them

with a clothesline?

533

01:
05:25,004 -- 01:05:26,421

Sure you can.

534

01:
05:26,547 -- 01:05:29,215

Real fish, orjust old shoes?

535

01:
05:29,342 -- 01:05:32,510

Suppose we take a look.

536

01:
05:33,554 -- 01:05:35,388

Maybe something's there.

537

01:
05:54,367 -- 01:05:56,326

Get the sack.

538

01:
06:29,276 -- 01:06:31,611

You think they're fat?

539

01:
06:33,197 -- 01:06:34,864

You should have seen them

540

01:
06:34,990 -- 01:06:38,326

after the battle of Jutland,

541

01:
06:39,286 -- 01:06:43,206

when we and the English...

See what I mean?

542

01:
06:43,958 -- 01:06:46,292

"Proudly flies the Banner

543

01:
06:46,419 -- 01:06:48,211

"Black-White-Red..."

544

01:
06:48,337 -- 01:06:49,671

Get it?

545

01:
06:50,381 -- 01:06:52,298

After the battle...

546

01:
06:57,138 -- 01:06:59,723
