However, (almost) nobody listens to him, so the catastrophe goes on...

762

01:
41:46,517 -- 01:41:49,685

I think I'll faint if he looks at me!

763

01:
41:49,812 -- 01:41:51,395

Here he comes!

764

01:
42:09,623 -- 01:42:11,207

I have seen the Lord.

765

01:
42:13,085 -- 01:42:14,418

Come with me.

766

01:
42:15,337 -- 01:42:16,671

I'll show you something.

767

01:
42:44,908 -- 01:42:47,159

They shot Jan Bronski?

768

01:
42:51,248 -- 01:42:52,623

Over there.

769

01:
42:59,464 -- 01:43:02,592

They gathered up

770

01:
43:03,552 -- 01:43:06,012

all the cartridge cases.

771

01:
43:06,930 -- 01:43:09,515

All but one.

772

01:
43:10,726 -- 01:43:13,936

They always forget one.

773

01:
43:36,835 -- 01:43:40,129

This is Maria.

She wants to work for you.

774

01:
43:58,649 -- 01:44:02,234

You said you needed somebody

for the customers.

775

01:
44:03,779 -- 01:44:05,947

Things can't go on like this.

776

01:
44:07,699 -- 01:44:09,659

And for Oskar here.

777

01:
44:10,577 -- 01:44:13,788

Hail Mary, full of grace...

778

01:
44:23,382 -- 01:44:25,424

Lord, give us...

779

01:
44:25,550 -- 01:44:27,760

...faith, and take me up to heaven.

780

01:
44:34,559 -- 01:44:36,227

Have you gone to the bathroom?

781

01:
44:39,189 -- 01:44:40,940

Another tune?

782

01:
44:41,066 -- 01:44:43,484

"Mary, My Adoration."

783

01:
45:13,849 -- 01:45:15,349

Go away!

784

01:
45:31,867 -- 01:45:35,077

Disregarding

my anonymous infatuations,

785

01:
45:36,204 -- 01:45:39,040

Maria was my first love.

786

01:
47:10,924 -- 01:47:12,341

How old are you?

787

01:
47:12,467 -- 01:47:13,968

Just turned 16.

788

01:
47:14,094 -- 01:47:15,344

Me too.

789

01:
47:18,014 -- 01:47:19,890

I can't believe it.

790

01:
47:47,419 -- 01:47:49,587

Maria smelled of vanilla.

791

01:
47:50,463 -- 01:47:52,214

I wondered why.

792

01:
47:52,340 -- 01:47:54,842

Did she rub herself with some root?

793

01:
47:55,969 -- 01:48:01,056

Was it some cheap perfume

that she sprayed herself with?

794

01:
48:01,183 -- 01:48:03,559

Oskar resolved to find out.

795

01:
49:48,206 -- 01:49:49,832

What are you doing?

796

01:
49:58,133 -- 01:49:59,466

Hey, stop it!

797

01:
50:19,321 -- 01:50:21,238

You little rascal.

798

01:
50:21,364 -- 01:50:24,074

You dive in, not knowing a thing.

799

01:
50:33,877 -- 01:50:37,004

As I predicted:

800

01:
50:38,089 -- 01:50:42,676

France in five weeks.

Our boys reach the Channel

801

01:
50:42,802 -- 01:50:45,637

and from there, a stone's throw away.

802

01:
50:46,556 -- 01:50:48,515

One can spit at London.

803

01:
50:48,641 -- 01:50:53,187

As for me:
Promoted to cell leader.

804

01:
50:53,313 -- 01:50:55,981

Let's drink to that!

805

01:
50:57,108 -- 01:50:58,567

Where is that thing?

806

01:
51:05,408 -- 01:51:08,452

- Coming back late?

- Could be, little one.

807

01:
51:08,578 -- 01:51:10,829

Too many victories to celebrate.

808

01:
51:15,210 -- 01:51:16,960

Here's your candy.

809

01:
51:18,630 -- 01:51:20,089

You're all set.

810

01:
51:20,215 -- 01:51:21,840

You can sleep with Maria.

811

01:
51:21,966 -- 01:51:24,927

There's plenty of room

in my bed for Oskar.

812

01:
51:25,053 -- 01:51:27,096

He's just a shrimp.

813

01:
51:28,348 -- 01:51:30,933

Quick, Oskar, into the hay.

814

01:
51:35,313 -- 01:51:37,106

Look. He's so happy.

815

01:
54:25,233 -- 01:54:26,984

It's a quarter to.

816

01:
54:27,110 -- 01:54:30,070

A little more. Just a little.

817

01:
54:31,948 -- 01:54:33,574

But be careful.

818

01:
54:33,700 -- 01:54:35,534

Don't worry.

819

01:
54:40,582 -- 01:54:42,666

Almost. Almost.

820

01:
54:43,835 -- 01:54:46,253

Just a little more.

But be careful!

821

01:
54:46,379 -- 01:54:48,255

I am!

822

01:
54:51,509 -- 01:54:52,551

Go away!

823

01:
55:04,981 -- 01:55:06,273

Alfred, stop it!

824

01:
55:06,399 -- 01:55:09,234

Is it the kid's fault

if you're not careful?

825

01:
55:09,360 -- 01:55:13,071

Me? Who kept asking for more?

826

01:
55:13,197 -- 01:55:17,409

I said, "Be careful.

It's coming soon."

827

01:
55:17,535 -- 01:55:20,037

Never enough.

You're all the same.

828

01:
55:20,913 -- 01:55:24,333

In, out, finished.

That's your idea of love.

829

01:
55:24,459 -- 01:55:26,376

Well, go look for somebody else.

830

01:
55:26,502 -- 01:55:29,254

Think I'm some kind of electric bell?

831

01:
55:29,380 -- 01:55:31,673

And you never take precautions!

832

01:
55:31,799 -- 01:55:35,260

Stop bawling. I'm fed up.

833

01:
55:36,679 -- 01:55:39,348

Then go back

to your comrades, you jerk.

834

01:
55:39,474 -- 01:55:43,018

I need a change, that's for sure.

835

01:
55:43,144 -- 01:55:44,936

They're all quick squirters!

836

01:
55:45,063 -- 01:55:47,606

Beat it!

837

01:
55:47,732 -- 01:55:50,651

Get yourself a POW

if you're in heat.

838

01:
55:50,777 -- 01:55:53,153

Maybe the Frog

that brings the beer.

839

01:
55:53,279 -- 01:55:55,197

Maybe he'll satisfy you!

840

01:
56:05,208 -- 01:56:08,752

I see love as something

more than smuttiness.

841

01:
56:09,921 -- 01:56:12,714

Next time I'll play cards.

842

01:
57:41,137 -- 01:57:43,513

You nasty little dwarf!

843

01:
57:43,639 -- 01:57:46,016

You crazy midget!

844

01:
57:46,142 -- 01:57:49,853

You belong in the loony bin,

you scumbag!

845

01:
58:08,456 -- 01:58:10,624

Oskar, I didn't mean it.

846

01:
58:42,114 -- 01:58:43,782

Now you'll have your own room.

847

01:
58:43,908 -- 01:58:45,659

He'll soon be 17.

848

02:
00:01,527 -- 02:00:03,445

They're doing fine in the East.

849

02:
00:06,574 -- 02:00:08,325

Leningrad will fall any day.

850

02:
00:08,451 -- 02:00:11,077

Kiev's more important

because of the oil.

851

02:
00:11,203 -- 02:00:14,915

That was fast! Much faster

than in '15, when I was in the army.

852

02:
00:15,041 -- 02:00:16,833

Moscow's the main thing.

853

02:
00:18,586 -- 02:00:20,003

Alfred, you carve.

854

02:
00:21,297 -- 02:00:23,465

What would we do

without Grandma?

855

02:
00:24,592 -- 02:00:27,093

The Kashubians

are still good for something.

856

02:
00:27,219 -- 02:00:29,846

Oh, if I could only be out there!

857

02:
00:31,057 -- 02:00:33,892

But I'm needed on the home front.

858

02:
00:34,018 -- 02:00:36,227

Moscow must be wiped out,

859

02:
00:36,354 -- 02:00:38,939

or we'll have to feed

all those people.

860

02:
00:39,065 -- 02:00:40,523

The Fhrer knows that.

861

02:
00:41,359 -- 02:00:45,111

They've sent

my Herbert to the front.

862

02:
00:46,948 -- 02:00:48,406

To make him fight.

863

02:
00:48,532 -- 02:00:50,325

Disciplinary battalion...

864

02:
00:51,494 -- 02:00:54,996

Starve 'em!

Starve all our enemies!

865

02:
00:56,791 -- 02:00:59,459

- Breast or drumstick?

- Drumstick.

866

02:
01:03,339 -- 02:01:05,131

It's nice and juicy.

867

02:
01:05,257 -- 02:01:07,300

The nations of Europe

are all on our side.

868

02:
01:07,426 -- 02:01:08,802

The stalwart Finns.

869

02:
01:08,928 -- 02:01:10,762

No goose without sage!

870

02:
01:10,888 -- 02:01:12,305

The Magyars, the Rumanians.

Günter Grass

Günter Wilhelm Grass (German: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈɡʁas]; 16 October 1927 – 13 April 2015) was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.He was born in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). As a teenager, he served as a drafted soldier from late 1944 in the Waffen-SS and was taken prisoner of war by US forces at the end of the war in May 1945. He was released in April 1946. Trained as a stonemason and sculptor, Grass began writing in the 1950s. In his fiction, he frequently returned to the Danzig of his childhood. Grass is best known for his first novel, The Tin Drum (1959), a key text in European magic realism. It was the first book of his Danzig Trilogy, the other two being Cat and Mouse and Dog Years. His works are frequently considered to have a left-wing political dimension, and Grass was an active supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Tin Drum was adapted as a film of the same name, which won both the 1979 Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1999, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, praising him as a writer "whose frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history". more…
