"THE CASTLE" "Wait!" "Hey!" "Is anybody there?" "Show your permission!" "Permission?" "Of course." "This village belongs to the castle and he who stays here for night practically stays in the castle and that's not allowed without presmission." "If those are the rules, I'll have to obtain permission." "From whom?" "From the count." "What else have I to do?" "At midnight from the count?" "What?" "Isn't that possible?" "Why did you wake me up then?" "I demand respect before count's civil servants!" "I woke you up to inform you that you must leave estates of the count at once." "And who would you be?" "Me?" "I'm Schwarzer." "Son of castellan of the castle." "Son of the castellan himself?" "Well then, mister Schwarzer," "I'm land surveyor summoned by the count to perform respective tasks." "My asistents with instruments will arrive tomorrow." "My explanations are over with that." "Are you satisfied, gentlemen?" "I'll settle this through phone." "Hallo!" "Registry?" "Registry?" "Please, take my room." "I'm the innkeeper and my room's the best." "Bring me better some sheets." "Schwarzer is reporting." "I have found a man here." "Yes." "Quite showy dressed." "He says he's the land surveyor summoned by the count himself." "Yes." "Yes." "What did I say!" "[He] lied!" "He's no land surveyor at all!" "Block the doors!" "Schwarzer speaking." "That means mistake?" "Mister Klamm himself?" "What am I to tell mister land surveyor?" "It's very unpleasant for me, mister land surveyor..." "I'm asking you to forget this incident." "Should you need something..." "I have something better." "Hand me that case." "According to our rules special permission from the castle is required to play new music." "Get on the phone then." "I'm sorry, but that must be written permission." "Should we bother the count because of such matters?" "We must write a request to mister Erlanger." "I'll deliver it myself." "Now - to sleep." "I'm not acquainted with the count yet." "It is told he pays good money for work well done." "Mister shouldn't worry about that." "My assistants will arrive tomorrow." "Could you put them up here?" "Sure." "But aren't they going to live with you in the castle?" "If we're going to work down here, it's handier to live here.." "Who's that?" "The count?" "No, that's the castellan." "Handsome." "It's a pity he has fool for a son." "That's how to tell..." "Schwarzer exaggerated a little yesterday." "His father is just assistant of the castellan and moreover one of the smallest." "What are you saying?" "Must I wait long still?" "Hello, mister schoolteacher." ""Land surveyor"" "Are you going to the castle?" "Yes, already since yesterday." "You don't like it here." "What?" "Tell me, is it your folder?" "No." "Be more careful otherwise nothing will work out for you." "Hey!" "Who opened the door?" "That's the land surveyor." "What does he want?" "You see..." "I was going to the castle and got a bit tired." "I decided to come in and warm myself...to rest..." "Hello." "Sit there!" "Land surveyor!" "I am Gerstacker, a friend of Mr. Brunsvick - a master of this house." "You can't stay here any longer." "Excuse us for inhospitability." "I didn't intend to stay." "Where, exactly, is the master himself, mister Brunsvick?" "That's me." "Is that so?" "I'm grateful to you for hospitability." "Who are you?" "Excuse us for inhospitability." "Sure, sure!" "Hospitability is not a custom around here, we don't need any guests." "I understand." "Why should you need guests?" "Hello, guys!" "Where are you going so late?" "To the ?" "What for so suddenly?" "Business." "Guys, wait up, I'm coming with you!" "Take me with you, I've forgotten the way!" "I'll drive you there." "Who were you?" "Gestekker?" "Who is that woman?" "Is she from the castle?" "Who's that?" "Who was that?" "Who are you?" "Your assistants." "Assistants." "Here's Arthur, here's Jeremiah." "Oh, so..." "It was you whom I ordered to come after me?" "Yes." "Where are the tools?" "We don't have them." "Do you know how to perform land surveying?" "No." "Give me something to drink." "Sure." "Get out of here!" "Be careful." "Here you go." "Don't talk to anybody without my permission." "I am a stranger here and, as you are my old assistants, you are strangers here." "But strangers must hold together." "Well?" "Let's shake hands?" "Put away your paws!" "This working day is wasted, so tomorrow we're start early." "Get the leigh, we'll go to the castle." "That's impossible." "It's not allowed to go to castle without special call." "Then make a phone call!" "Registry?" "Can the land surveyor and two his assistants go to castle tomorrow morning?" "Not tomorrow or any other day." "There's a messenger to see you." "Get out!" "Registry is listening." "Who's speaking?" "Assistant of land surveyor is speaking." "What assistant?" "Joseph." "Assistants are named Arthur and Jeremiah." "Those are new assistants but I'm the old one." "I came right after mister land surveyor." "What do you want, Joseph?" "When can my master go to the castle?" "Never." "Alright." "Who are you?" "Barnabas, the messenger." "Honourable mister land surveyor, as you know, you have been accepted in castle's service" "Your direct chief is village's elder who will explain to you all the details about your duty." "Provider of this letter, Barnabas... will be taking care of your needs and inform me readiness from my side to meet you..." "Head of count's registry readiness from my side to meet you..." "Whose signature is this?" "Klamm's." "Beer for the messenger!" "Deliver to mister Klamm my gratitude about his exceptional kindness." "Tell him that I'm ready to unresevedly obey any order of his and I have no special needs." "Allow me to repeat." "Sure." "So, deliver to mister Klamm gratitude about his exceptional kindness" "I'm ready to obey unreservedly any order of his" "I have no special needs." "What was that?" "What was that!" "Old local custom, mister land surveyor." "Your room is already done." "My room?" "Prepare paper and quill, we'll discuss working plans now." "Barnabas?" "Barnabas!" "Mister land surveyor!" "We're at home." "At home?" "Be careful not to slip, the road's downhill." " Downhill?" " Only for few steps." "And these are my sisters." "Olga." "Amalia." "And this is mister land surveyor." "Land surveyor!" "Barnabas!" "You wanted to go to the castle right from the inn." "No, I was to go home right away." "I go to castle only in mornings." "Take a seat by the table, everything will be ready in a moment." "Meanwhile I'll go for beer." "Well, then you'll escort me." "I have important work left there." "No, I'm going to the Gentlemen's Inn, that's nearby." "Nice, I'll escort you." "Well, if gentlement wants it...but you won't be admitted there." "That's nothing, I'll wait by the door." "Land surveyor is alloved only in the canteen." "Yes, yes, we know." "Let's go." "You, as I gather, are owner of this inn?" "You gather correctly." "I'd like to stay here for a night." "Unfortunately, that's impossible." "Inn is only for gentlemen from the castle." "191 00:24:26,386 -- 00:24:31,530 I'd like to draw your attention to [the fact] that I have notable connections in the castle" "and they will become more notable soon, so that..." "I'd be glad to come forward to you but gentlemen from the castle are very finicky and incidental encounter with an unfamiliar man can turn out to be very unbearable to them." "Are there many gentlemen tonight?" "From this point it's a fortunate night - there's just one Klamm." "Klamm?" "Frieda!" "Fill the beer for us!" "Let's go!" "Do you know Klamm?" "Do you want to see mister Klamm?" "What?" "There's a spyhole, you can have a look." "Frieda, do you know Klamm well?" "Yes, very well." "I am mister Klamm's mistress." "Mistress?" "Then you are important person for me." "Not just for you." "Before this I was a cattle-tender." "With such delicate hands?" "Then nobody paid attention to them." "Frieda... you amaze me, and what willpower must one have to become barmaid from simple cattle-tender." "Of course, you won't be openhearted to a man whom you don't know at all, who doesn't even have an opportunity to tell about himself..." "I know everything about you, you're land surveyor." "Dirty swines!" "Who?" "Klamm's henchmen." "I've told him many times to leave them at the castle." "Doesn't he hear?" "He's sleeping." "But when I looked..." "He was already sleeping." "Misters overall sleep much." "Quiet!" "Shut up at once!" "Get out from here!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Haven't you seen land surveyor?" "Frieda!" "Do you need something?" "I'm looking for land surveyor." "He's not there." "He is nowhere to be found." "Probably he's long since gone." "I was standing by the door and didn't see him." "What if he's hiding?" "Yes, one can expect anything from him." "Perhaps, under the coutner?" "He's not there." "One way or the other, you're responsible for the canteen, Frieda." "And you know what consequences breaking the rules brings." "Land surveyor..." "Frieda..." "Frieda!" "There!" "Hey!" "I'm with land surveyor here!" "I'm with land surveyor!" "Get out of here!" "We were worried about you master!" "We brough you your coat." "Get out, I said!" "Why have you gathered there?" "You broke the rules." "I don't give a damn about your rules." "Leave the inn!" "I'll just get my things." "They are already gathered." "Well, let's go?" "I right away assumed you to be reliable man." "Give my greetings to castellan." "Your room has been prepared long ago." "Whisk assistants away!" "We can stay here." "We'll be right besides the door." "I'm waiting since long." "I think I didn't call for you." "Frieda is my foster-daughter and his fate is not uninteresting to me, because of you she has lost good job at canteen and high social state of Klamm's mistress." "And now I don't understad..." "I'd like to know your plans concerning my daughter's fate." "Plans?" "They're simple." "I'm ready to marry her" "right after I've talked to Klamm." "To whom?" "To whom?" "Prepare sleigh, we're going to the elder." "Who are you to even concede Klamm will talk with you?" "You're zero, you're nobody." "I am land surveyor." "Yeah, and relocate my assistants, I've fed up with them." "Land surveyor?" "Be thankful I've let you in my place, you wouldn't even find a place in doghouse for you elswehere in the village." "Probably." "Thou, I have a place where I'll be allowed not only to spend a night." "Where?" "At Barnabas's." "At Barnabas's?" "At those disgraced paupers and dirty wantons?" "You've involved yourself with those dirty bitches and you want to communicate with decent people?" "That's very good you've come right to me." "But I must aggrieve you." "We have no need for land surveyor." "That is how?" "We don't have even the smallest job for land surveyor." "Guys!" "Where did I tell you to wait?" "It's cold there, master." "Let them warm themselves." "Those are my assistants." "So, there's been a misunderstanding." "Many years ago there was a question from the castle whether we need a land surveyor." "Guys, theres a folder with green inscription "Land Surveyor"." "Have a look." "We answered that we did not need any land surveyors." "everything would be solved in couple of days if not for that Brunsvick." "Brunsvick?" "Exactly." "He began to meddle in my correspondence with the castle." "He bombarded them with various letters asking for hiring a land surveyor." "That way this matter lasted several years." "He wouldn't have accomplished anything if not for his wife who serves at the castle." "Is she kind of beautiful woman with sickly looks?" "Well, probably." "That's his wife?" "No, Mitze, that's minor key." "Guys, have you found it?" "No!" "But you gave it to schoolmaster?" "Right." "I gave it to schoolmaster." "Guys, put everything back." "So, in the end I won." "Anyway, when smart decision not to summon land surveyor was made due to Brunsvick's cookups... you showed up." "Yes, big trouble." "Don't even mention it." "Well, if it's turned out this way in my person you will find... well, I wouldn't say "a friend" but good aid in your business." "The only thing I will not allow is hiring you as land surveyor." "I'm very sorry... but I am hired already." "Interesting..." "Interesting." ""School caretaker"" "There's Klamm's signature, indeed." "What are you saying!" "Yes." "But that's not official document." "That's personal letter what results from address "honourable mister"." "Moreover, there's no word about you being hired as land surveyor." "It talks about being in count's sevice in general." "So that...so that it is anything but clear here." "Except me being simply thrown out!" "You don't say so!" "Your case is too complicated, you are just promised hopsitable welcome." "Nobody is throwing you out, but, at the same time, nobody is holding you [here]." "Mitze!" "That's wrong!" "F sharp!" "That's enough!" "I will tell you what's holding me." "That's the sacrifice I made leaving home, hopes I had regarding this place, finally it's the bride before whom I have responsibility!" "Why are you so upset?" "I will infrom the castle about everything, and perhaps we will think of something for you." "I will not accept alms from the castle." "I want to receive what's rightfully mine." "Allow me to leave on this note!" "Sure." "I have important meeting." "I need to put on my best robes." "Have it cleaned well." "I have come to you with an errand." "Oh, mister schoolmaster." "You are still here?" "I'm very sorry, I have important meeting tonight." "That's nothing." "It's just that mister elder has very warm soul and he is worried that you while waiting for the answer wouldn't do rash things due to your anxiety and he offers you to take place as school caretaker." "So, he's asks a favour from me?" "No, on the contrary, he's doing favour to you because we need school caretaker as much as we need land surveyor." "Tell mister elder that I am not accepting this post." "So you're rejecting it without any discussions?" "Frieda!" "Nice." "Frieda!" "Where's my shirt!" "We accept the offer, right dear?" "Darling, listen to me." "What does it take from you to accept such nice proposition?" "That's nothing terrible and we will have abode and work." "I am land surveyor not school caretaker." "And I don't want to grovel before some schoolman who only dreams about becoming my master." "Things are not being made to last, master." "Mrs. Brunsvick?" "I wanted to tell you I am willing to accept this...post." "Do you know where I'm going?" "I will be waiting for you at school." "Just promise me you won't be going to these wantons." "To whom?" "To those dirty barnabas's wenches." "Hold up the assistants." "Who are you?" "Me?" "That's just land surveyor." "I am Pepi." "You have a bath-house in here?" "We do." "Low rank clerks love to steam bath with chambermaids, and Frieda did so when she was a chambermaid." "Frieda?" "What did you imagine?" "That she's not like the rest?" "Earlier there was a spyhole." "It got closed after Frieda left." "What do you need it for?" "Frieda forgot something there, I'd like to see if it's in there." "What thing?" "A present from Klamm." "If to know for sure that there's nobody there you could go in and have a look, but it's impossible to know for sure." "Klamm is sitting there often." "He's not there." "Is that for sure?" "He's right about to leave, the sleigh is in the yard." "That will take long." "What will take long?" "Until you leave." "Do you want some brandy?" "I do." "Open the door, there is a couple of bottles in the side pocket." "Mister land surveyor!" "Come with me." "I am waiting for someone here." "Let's go." "I can miss him out that way." "Here or there, you will miss him out in any case." "I'll better wait for him here." "Unharness the horses!" "Mister land surveyor!" "Finally." "So, Klamm has left?" "Sure, you stopped watching him and he left." "Well then..." "let's get started." "I am Momus, Klamm's village secretary." "I'd like to hear answers to certain questions of interest to us." "What does it mean, mister Klamm's representative for teh village?" "Mister Momus is mister Klamm's representative, but his position is only limited to the village." "He receives files from the village meant for mister Klamm." "Mister Momus holds very important post." "Nice." "I congratulate you." "But now it's time for me to go home." "Sure, duty of school caretaker is calling you, but will have to sit here a minute, just two or three questions." "I'm in no mood for this." "In the name of Klamm I demand!" "If I answer your questions, will I be able to see Klamm?" "No, why would you?" "Goodnight." "He's leaving!" "He will not dare to leave!" "Schwarzer, I know you are not castellan's son." "You won't be interrogated now?" "No." "I refused." "What?" "Is that important?" "Yes." "Do you think I refused in vain?" "Yes." "What do you want?" "Frieda was worried you didn't come long and asked to meet you." "Perhaps, you had lost your way." "Mister land surveyor!" "Barnabas!" "Do you come to me?" "To you!" "I have a letter for you from Klamm." ""To Mr. Land Surveyor." "Land surveying duties performed by you so far have my full consent." "Also, work of your assistants is praiseworthy." "You know very well how to incite them to work." "Continue your efforts, any interruption would bother me." "Don't worry, everything is under control, Klamm." "That's nonsense." "I haven't performed any land surveying duties." "I will deliver it." "And I will deliver previous message, too, I memorized everything." "Examine me!" "Haven't you been in the castle yet?" "No, I was busy with Brunsvick's musical wheels." "What damn wheels?" "Klamm, who waits for news from me, is sitting in the castle whole day but you are busy with your stinking wheels!" "Get out of here!" "Don't be angry with me master." "Well, alright." "Can you deliver message tomorrow morning and get the answer?" "Sure, master." "So, here it goes:" "Land surveyor asks for personal admittance and accepts any conditions beforehand." "He has to make this kind of request because there are no land surveying duties going on." "That the messangers" " Village elder and secretary Momus are to blame for this." "Tell about us!" "He knows he's asking a lot but will do all in his power not to bother mister superion without real need and is really anxios to receive the answer." "Repeat!" "Land surveyor asks for personal admittance and..." "Good!" "Can I do something for you?" "My sisters send their regards" "Especially Olga, it's her who gave me this letter for you from the Castle" "Perhaps, she could deliver the message tomorrow?" "No, she...won't be admitted to the registry." "Alright." "I'll come by tomorrow but you get the answer first." "OK?" "I'll be in the school." "Greetings to your sisters." "How was it?" "What?" "Why it's so cold in here?" "It was warm here, but the room is very big and we have run out of wood." "How come?" "Schoolmaster locked the shed and says stoking must be performed during lessons not during night." "Not during nights?" "Hey you!" "Come here!" "Find an axe!" "Enough!" "What are you doing!" "Frieda!" "Have you steam bathed with clerks?" "I have." "That was part of my duty." "Is coquettish behaviour towards my assistans also part of your duty?" "But darling!" "Is it possible to pay attention to such small matters?" "Small matters?" "When two spies are watching me - that's small matters?" "Perhaps, spies are deliberately sent from the castle to bother and observe me all the time - you call that small matters?" "How are you conducting yourself, Frieda?" "You are madam, you haven't called them to order even once." "I am led to thoughts that you are on their side and that you play the same hand." "Sssh, sssh..." "Good day, mister land surveyor!" "Hello." "Who dared to break open the shed?" "I did that, mister schoolmaster." "It was necessary to stoke school in the morning and door had to be opened." "I didn't venture to wake you in the middle of the night." "And my fiance already rebuked me." "Who did break open the shed?" "This mister." "Our assistans have mixed everything up." "I forced the door open with an axe when the assistants were not there." "But when they came they saw my fiance trying to fix the door and they concluded..." "So you lied to me?" "In that case I will lash you now." "Don't!" "They told the truth." "So, only mister caretaker is left" "Who calmly waches how others are punished for his actions" "If my assistants were lashed a little, I had no objections." "Well..." "Of course, you are fired so get out right away with all your stuff." "You're my superior, but not the one who gave me this post, which is the Mayor, Mr. Elder and I will accept discharge only from him." "Wonderful." "Yes...it wasn't smart to refuse the interrogation." "Get out!" "You're fired!" "And so that I wouldn't see your damn mugs anymore!" "I fired them." "Master, let us in." "We won't do that anymore." "Let us in!" "Master!" "How could you!" "How could you betray me?" "For the sake of those bastards!" "Are they dearer to you than I am?" "Forgive me." "Forgive me, please." "Let's go away from here; where there is no castle, no Klamm, no assistants, just you and me." "Where to?" "Where to?" "What for?" "I've come here to stay long." "I..." "Barnabas!" "What do you want?" "I thought perhaps I could help you." "Help?" "How?" "I don't know." "Another helper!" "Come here." "What's your name?" "Hans." "What do you want to be, Hans?" "I want to be like mister land surveyor." "[become a] land surveyor?" "No." "Caretaker?" "No." "I want to be LIKE mister land surveyor." "What is your father doing?" "Wheels for music boxes." "His wheels are the best in the neighborhood." "Wheels my father made is used in all music boxes, even in the castle." "So you are Brunsvick?" "Was it you whom I saw by the window?" "Yes." "Also, I was at the canteen yesterday with my father and saw you refusing the interrogation." "How is madam Brunsvick?" "Good." "She has asked about you two times already." "Listen, Hans, you wanted to help me, didn't you?" "But you're still little and can't help me but your mom can." "I know." "When father's in trouble he always asks mother and she goes to the castle." "I need to see your mom very much." "No." "My mom must not be disturbed." "And father will never allow you." "But we will do it the way he will never know." "But that's not fair!" "Why?" "We won't be doing anything bad." "You will just say your mom I want to talk with her." "And then you will tell me when your dad's not at home." "As a reward I will teach you to fight with sticks." "Really?" "Yes." "And I will give you glass button." "Want it?" "I do.." "Well, run, I will be waiting for you in the evening." "Just don't say anything to your dad." "Have you got sticks?" "I will make them." "What's your mom's name?" "Milena Brunswick." "Well, I'm going...having a walk." "You won't be going to them?" "To them?" "No, what for?" "Barnabas is bound to come." "I'll just walk, have some air" "Has Barnabas returned?" "Lie down, mom." "That's land surveyor." "Has Barnabas returned?" "Not yet." "Have a seat." "Olga will come out now." "She's in the bathing closet." "You know..." "I...have to run..." "fiancee is waiting for me at the school." "Oh so!" "Hello, mister land surveyor.We thought you wouldn't come." "Come through." "Land surveyor is in hurry, he must go to his fiancee." "Yes, you know, fiancee is waiting for me." "I just came to see if Barnabas has returned." "You'd better come by sometime." "Thank you." "We will definitely visit you tomorrow." "You know...it was a rash invitation and I must withdraw it because there is some hostility between you and Fieda." " Hostility?" " It's not hostility." "There is no hostility." "Simply, Amalia refuset do be Vallabne's mistress." "Vallabne?" "Vallabne." "That's very important clerk from the castle, more infliential than Klamm." "Hasn't Frieda told you?" "No." "It happened three years ago when Frieda was transferred to the canteen." "Our father was one of the most prominent men in the village he was making wheels for the music boxes for the castle and Brunsvick was a worker of his." "We, his daughters, were very visible and didn't pay attention to the likes of Frieda." "And mrs. inkeeper was very fond with our friendship." "Once she gave Amalia ruby beads which fitted her well." "Look, these ones." "Vallabne never stayed in the village but that day he saw Amalia through carriage window." "Next day courier came with a letter addressed to girl with ruby beads." "The letter was written in dirty expressions." "It demanded Amalia to go immediately to room number 5 at the Gentlemen's Inn to perform various obscenities with him." "Amalia ripped up the letter and threw it in courier's face." "Barmaid Frieda got to know this right away and spread these news throughout the village." "And she pointedly put Amalia in bad light." "Why?" "Because Frieda did with Klamm what Amalia refused to do." "Don't dare to talk like that about my fiancee!" "She loved Klamm." "Forgive me, I didn't want to offend madam Frieda, forgive me." "Is that all?" "No." "Brunswick announced to my father that he resigned and told him he was opening his own workshop." "He began receiving all orders." "Father stopped working completely." "He non-stop wrote letters to castle asking for meeting with Vallabne but all in vain." "Soon we settled in this home and Brunsvick - in ours." "So, this is Brunsvick's house." "[People] began to despise us and call us barnabas's wantons." "Since then we and our brother are trying to regain respect towards our family." "Yesterday Brunsvick told he could help us." "I always knew his wife had good connections in the castle." "Barnabas?" "That's not Barnabas, they've come after you." "In Klamm's name!" "Mister Momus..." "Barnabas?" "It's not Barnabas, it's your assistant." "Tell him I'm not here." "Is here another door?" "That door leads to the yard but you'll have to crawl over the fence." "What are you hunting here?" "You." "Who are you?" "Jeremiah." "Your former assistant." "Why former?" "We are not in your service anymore." "I am working at inn now." "And Arthur?" "He has taken offence from you." "You don't understand jokes." "What have you to do with this?" "I'm fulfilling Frieda's whish." "She has left you and now she's in torment." "She was very sad when you left her for Barnabas's bitches." "I didn't go to them, I just came to ask if Barnabas had returned." "Alrigh, I saw everything." "You shouldn't have crawled over the fence." "Listen, Jeremiah, we are not master and servant anymore." " Do you think?" "Let's talk." "I don't think so." "Frieda is waiting for me." "Perhaps, on the way." "Mister land surveyor!" "Mister land surveyor, I succeeded!" "Barnabas!" "You delivered message to Klamm?" "No, I didn't do that, but I talked to Erlanger." "Who's that?" "That's Klamm's secretary." "He ordered to tell you that you must go immediately to room number five in Gentlemen's Inn." "He wants to talk to you and inform you about something important." "What?" "I am land surveyor!" "I must see Erlanger in room number five!" "[Wait until you're] called." "Gerstäcker!" "Oh, you're still here." "I'm the hotel waiter." "Land surveyor!" "Is Erlanger important person?" "Yes, no everything can get solved for you." "Only in vain you reject interrogations all the time." "That's hot water bath." "It is reccomended for very important misters from the castle." "We have to wait." "Hello." "Room 8." "8." "Frieda!" "Frieda, finally I found you." "I was not easy to do in such labyrinths..." "Why did you leave your wantons?" "You should go to them." "You have better time with them." "I though you were already at the canteen." "Yes, but they rehired her for the canteen." "The innkeeper himself asked me to return, only Pepi asked to let her work today." "How good everything has turned out." "But why did you decide to return just before the wedding?" "There will be no wedding." "You.." "always disgraced me with your connections with those bitches." "I haven't eaten today." "Haven't you got something, by any chance?" "I loved you." "Frieda!" "You're not allowed here." "It means you don't believe me, your fiance, but wicked slander of his assistant who is deliberately..." "Why "slander"?" "I told the truth." "Eat, eat...don't be shy." "That's my dinner." "But I will gladly give it to former master." "Land surveyor!" "Land surveyor!" "You should've showed up long ago." "Lie down." "Room 5." "Lie down!" "Let's get started." "Some Frieda who sometimes brought Klamm beer worked in this canteen not so long ago." "Some inconveniece derived from her departure." "According to completely credible evidence, land surveyor, that is, you, are living with this person now." "You must ensure her immediate return to the canteen." "From my side, I will do too much by saying it will be quite an advantage to subsequent carrer of land surveyor." "That's all." "You can go." "Mister Erlanger, there has been a mistake." "Mister Klamm has been incorrectly informed." "There is no land surveying..." "What concerns land surveying works - usual routine through the messenger" "Room 5." "You are to blame for all of this, mister land surveyor." "Because of you Frieda is returning to the canteen, and I have been thrown out just as yourself." "Although, I have my little room but you have nowhere to go." "You don't believe me?" "When elder heard about you not letting Momus in he dismissed you from school caretaker post." "That is how - dismissed?" "Just so." "I heard it myself." "Mister land surveyor..." "Well?" "Is mom at home?" "Mister land surveyor, you can't go there!" "Madam Brunsvick..." "Milena..." "I love you." "I love you from the first moment I saw you, I was spellbound by your unusual beauty, as if from the castle." "I guessed at once that you came from there." "I paint, I even dreamed about becoming a painter my whole life..." "For the sake of you, I left duties of land surveyor and took school caretaker's post." "Don't reject me." "I will leave everything behind, I will have my own way..." "We will live in the castle, here's is Klamm's writing..." "It's not for you to live here, among..." "Well?" "Let's get started?" "So, are you ready to answer couple simple questions?" "Wonderful." "Then question numer one." "How do you think: what is this?" "A hare?" "Good." "But this?" "A whistle." "Well, well..." "And this?" "A [little] ring." "We can finish on this." "Perhaps, you will ask more questions?" "It wasn't a little ring?" "Oh, land surveyor..." "It's good that I have found you." "Brunswick." "I'm pleased." "But we have already met." "Let's go out of here." "Let's be frank." "I know why are you here." "You came to see my wife." "You love her." "I do." "As a man, I understand you." "I'm offering you an honest deal." "You will become Brunsvick, I - land surveyor." "What?" "You will become Brunsvick, husband of Milena Brunsvick, father of Hans, one of richest people on the village, but I - poor, lonely land surveyor." "Well?" "How is this?" "Very simple." "We just need to get permission from mister Vallabne." "Vallabne?" "Sure." "Let's go?" "Where to?" "To Vallabne." "To the castle?" "Yes." "So, you agree?" "I do." "That is not the castle." "How?" "That is a real castle." "Mister Vallabne built it especially for hunting" "Hey!" "Who are you?" "Mister Vallabne, I am Amalia, the same girl with ruby bead you fell in love with three years ago when you saw me through carriage window." "All these years I was looking forward to see you to tell you that" "I agree to all the things you asked for in that letter." "You have mixed up something, but you will be present at dinner." "Ehy!" "And who are you?" "Me?" "I am Brunsvick." "He doesn't know you." "He doesn't know me yet he knows my wife, Milena Brunsvick." "It's possible, but he doesn't remember." "What do you want?" "I'd like to become land surveyor." "But land surveyor?" "Does he agree?" "Sure!" "We have talked everything over." "Well..." "Mister Vallabne congratulates you." "Thank you." "Hey!" "Let me in!" "Let me in!" "Who is there?" "That's Brunsvick." "Let me in!" "What does he want?" "I don't know." "Let me in!" "Let him in." "Miser Vallabne wants to look at him through the little window." "Well?" "Where is he?" "Where is he!" "Mister Vallabne, you're being deceived." "Mister Klamm, he's my superior, here's..." "He is deceived." "There is not land surveying works going on." "I'm not even hired as land surveyor." "And village elder is plotting...he [Klamm] is deceived and you, too, are being deceived." "This girl, who was here, told she was Amalia." "She is not Amalia, she is Olga." "I know her." "She's just taken other woman's beads." "And Brunsvick is lying." "He told I agreed to be Brunsvick, but I didn't agree." "I am land surveyor." "I am land surveyor." "I was summoned to the castle to be land surveyor and I demand, do you hear, I deamnd..." "I want to have what's rightfully mine!" "I don't accept..." "Mister Brunsvick!" "I am Brunsvick?" "Let it be." "He's long gone." "Who's gone?" "Vallabne has gone?" "Where has he gone?" "Hunting." "How come?" "Just so" "Mister Brunsvick." "What brunsvick am I?" "I am land surveyor!" "It's all over." "Now I am land surveyor." "Arthur, you?" "Tell him I am land surveyor." "You were my assistant." "Those were great days when I served as land surveyor's assistant." "I am land surveyor." "I am land surveyor." "Barnabas!" "Barnabas, where are you going?" "I have a letter for mister land surveyor." "That's me!" "We're moving in with you tomorrow." "My sister has become mistress of mister Vallabne." "What do you want?" "I'm here to see Frieda." "She's attending Klamm." "Brunswick?" "Half night I was looking for you." "Brunswick!" "?" "Milena, it's me." "It's you?" "I was waiting for you." "I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time, but..." "I couldn't make up my mind." "In short words" " I'm in love with land surveyor." "Milena... it's me, Milena." "Please, don't." "It has been settled." "He loves me." "I hope you will take care of father." "And put on a coat or you'll catch cold." "Will you finish soon?" "Just a moment." "Barnabas, read this passage one more time." "...taking in account professional diligence, today mister land surveyor is allowed to listen to any (including brought with himself) music..." "Did you make the sticks?" "Sticks?" "You promised to teach me to fight with sticks." "Do you remember?" "And you promised to give me glass button." "Who?" "Me?"
