"A film by Maximilian Schell." "Do you think..." "I'd go and sit in some sad, stuffy old cinema... and watch an old film?" "I read books." "You're never lonely with a book." "No, I never feel lonely." "You're waiting for me to continue... but at the moment I don't know what to say." ""And you don't quite know what to say."" "That's a lovely song." "Franz Wachsmann." "What rubbish!" "There have been 55 books written about me." "Now, don't think I read them just to read... about how wonderful I was." "I don't give a damn about myself." "I must say farewell... because now it's over." "This was my last concert." "I would like to tell you... that I'm crying... because I admire you so much." "I admired your courage during the war." "I love you." "Good-bye." "But then I'd have to edit a film..." "Well, I wish you luck." "But it's not possible." "What?" "Mazel tov, in plain..." "They film you when you arrive, but no one's there when you leave." " Destry Rides Again is ready." " One moment." "Maximilian, we're ready for you in Marlene's room." "Well, I can't do two things at once." "That's the film with Jimmy Stewart." "What's the German title?" "Der Grosse Bluff." "There are the three girls I picked for you." "Who is that over there?" " That's the producer, Karel Dirke." " He's really a spy." " A spy?" " You're the spy here." "And those girls?" " They're the doubles." " What are doubles?" "No, it's too big." "I thought you wanted authenticity." "Yes, that too." "May I see the photo, please?" " What photo?" " From the Paris flat." " Here's the photo." " Don't film now!" " Take all the mirrors out." " But they were on that wall over there." " Yes, I know." " Take the mirrors outside." "Where everything reflected." " I'm after something else." " There's your mirror." "Take that away." "Are you cutting up the film?" "No, editing it." "I'm a film editor." "I'd have done it differently." "Well, is anything here real?" "Ask the author." "What is real?" "The editing room, the table we're working on." "Not the flat..." "it's reconstructed from memory." "Marlene didn't want us to film it." "What's real?" "The tape recorder." "We can take that as our reality." "The film clips, the photos... piles of photos." "We're simply trying to recreate the scene... during our conversation in Paris." "Is it real?" "Our conversation lasted several days." "What does Marlene look like now?" "I don't know." "Ask Maximilian." "I wasn't in Paris." "Here are photos from Just a Gigolo." "That was in '78." "How old was she then?" "I think I'd prefer German." "I speak it better." "Fine." "Let's begin in German." "As you wish." "It's all the same to me." ""I've never actually felt... at home in any one place."" "Well, none of us émigrés ever found a home." "Of course, America is my real home." "They took me in when I arrived." "My daughter lives there." "My whole family is there." " And why Paris now?" " At the moment because I work here." "I'm in New York, I'm in Paris." "And then, you see, I travel around... an awful lot." "I've just returned from Japan." "I've been everywhere." "I spend most of my time traveling, living out of suitcases." "Wouldn't you say it's a kind of homelessness?" "What rubbish!" " Do you feel at home everywhere?" " Homelessness!" "That's Courths-Mahler." "No, really." "Please." "I don't have kitschy feelings like that." "None of us did." "I was born a German." "We didn't have kitsch." "We didn't have sentimental feelings." "I have feelings for people... but I have no feelings for cities or things like that, no." " Do you sometimes watch your films?" " No, never." "Never?" "Did you ever watch them?" "Never." " Would you..." " Doesn't interest me." "Would you like to see any of your films again?" " No, never." " They're past and done with?" "No, they don't interest me." "Me look at myself?" "No, no, really!" "Take The Blue Angel, for instance." "Everyone's sick of it, aren't they?" "I really can't stand it anymore." ""Falling in love again..." I mean, really!" "It's ridiculous." "Those pictures of me sitting on that barrel..." "They sell them all over the place... and everyone's mad about it and all the rest." "And then... there are the imperso..." "is that the word?" "Yes, the impersonators." "And they impersonate me sitting on that barrel... with my leg pulled up." "It's ridiculous." "Well, it is." "I thought Jannings was awful." "He was such a ham in the part." "That was ghastly!" "And so when Ufa said the film wasn't good... we're not going to take your option, I understood that perfectly well." "It would be wonderful if we still had those screen tests." "The screen tests for The Blue Angel really don't exist?" "No, they disappeared during the war." "We researched it thoroughly." "You see, I've never seen them." "They're not in Babelsberg, the old studio in East Berlin." "They're not in Russia." "A complicated story." "I was sitting on this piano." "An upright... what's it called?" "A piano, wearing this incredibly tight dress." "And they curled my hair with tongs and there was smoke everywhere." "And there was this piano player..." "All the books say it was Hollander, and that's not true." " It wasn't Hollander?" " What?" "No, not Hollander." "No, I swear to you, it wasn't Hollander." "And then Sternberg told me to climb up... and sit on the piano." "And then he said..." ""Haven't you brought the song with you?" "You were told to bring a song with you for the screen test."" "And I said I hadn't brought any song because I wouldn't get the part anyway." "Typical snotty Berliner, wasn't I?" "And naturally this intrigued him." "All the other actresses were tripping up and falling over themselves... trying to get the part... and here was this snotty young girl from drama school saying... she wouldn't get the part anyway." "That intrigued him." "And then he said to me, "Do you know any Berlin songs?"" "And I said, "Yes, of course I do."" ""There'll Be No Crying When We Say Good-bye."" "And I climbed down off the piano... and said, "It goes like this."" "There'll be no crying" "When we say good-bye" "Around the corner" "There's another guy" "And then it goes:" "You say auf Wiedersehen" "Yet secretly" "You're pleased it's over finally" "And then he said..." ""Stop." "Okay, we'll try that with the camera now."" "That's what interested Sternberg... the fact that I wasn't interested." "I thought I wouldn't get it anyway, so why kill myself?" "I know you always say your career began with The Blue Angel." "And yet I think..." "Oh, the silent movies were dreadful." "Well, I saw one called Nights of Love." "There's a print of it..." "With Willi Forst." "And there are several..." "Yes, but wait a minute." "Must be a silent movie." "But it wasn't bad." "I don't mean the film was good..." " Wasn't good." " No, I mean your performance." "You say it wasn't bad." "I say it isn't good." "Well, not bad is much the same as not good." "I think you underestimated yourself a bit even then." "I mean, meeting Sternberg was a stroke of luck." "No, underestimating has to do with... with..." "What's it called?" "Standard." "What's it called in German?" "I didn't underestimate myself." "I knew what "good" was." " No, what I..." " And I knew what "wonderful" was." "But he says in his book... that you told him you'd made three films... and that he discovered that you really made nine." "Oh, but no..." "I hadn't made three films." "I'd had a few "little moments."" "You can't call those films." "How can you?" "I'd walk on and say, "The horses are saddled."" "Or I'd bring in the coffee and say, "Here is your coffee, sir."" "You really can't call them films." "You did have a fairly big part in the one I saw with Willi Forst." "I don't think so." "I don't think so." "In any case, it really doesn't interest me... and it won't be in the documentary either." "It has absolutely nothing to do with me." "These were just small things." "You simply went along, did your work and went home again." "So you can't use that." "Really, you can't." " You've simply erased them from..." " Totally." " Totally." " There's nothing in my contract." " Let's not..." " We're back to the contract." " What interests..." " But I'm afraid we have to... because if I had no contract, you wouldn't be here." "Yes, of course." "No, those trashy old films... were just rubbish." "Dishonored. 1931." " What's the German title?" " X 27." "X 27." "Yes, that's a spy thriller." "Me putting on my lipstick..." "that's rubbish!" "I think it's good." " No, it's not rubbish." " Kitsch." "But then I didn't understand anything in those days." "You see, I was stupid." "I asked Sternberg..." ""How should I fall when they shot me?" "Backwards or forwards?"" "Well, I didn't know." "I'd never been shot dead." " It's like a blow." " How was I to know?" "It's like a blow." "How was I to know?" "You see, I'm practical." "I can't fall the wrong way." "Was it your idea, or did it come from Sternberg?" "Well, you must know..." "He was always... deliberately making life difficult for me... to make me learn something... to make me use my brains... when I was working... forcing me to think and not just do as I was told." "He was always doing that." "Was the idea of the young officer... saying he can't shoot a woman... and the woman putting on her makeup..." " whilst they argue..." " Oh, that was terribly kitschy!" " But then I do as I'm told." " It wasn't kitschy." "It was good." "Kitsch." "Rubbish!" "And yet the scene you refer to as kitsch was the..." "That awful scene with the saber." "No, that's not what I mean." "But I remember him raising his saber... and thinking, "For God's sake, no." "That is really awful."" "But I never argued with Sternberg." " Yet he resisted..." " I never argued." "the temptation of actually showing your face on the blade?" "Yes." "What kitsch, eh?" "You keep using the word "kitsch" as being something... you strongly dislike." "No, I hate it." "Yet if we take your London show..." " with all that pink..." " Please don't blame me... for that kitsch behind me." " I had no idea it was there." " Kitsch." "My performance certainly wasn't kitsch." "That woman singing... in that horrible, clear, high-pitched voice..." "I had to do it, you see." "Vulgar, wasn't she?" "Just a little..." "What do you call them?" "A little trollop." "She went whoring for money." "And besides, he was a professor." "And so she was very flattered." "All very simple." "Nowadays they try to find all sorts of hidden meanings behind it... and what she thought." "But really she didn't think anything." "I've got that letter you wrote to her." "What did I say in it?" "I can't remember." ""Dearest Marlene." "You can't make a film about somebody and not actually show that person." "I realize you don't want this... but then I fear I might not have enough imagination." "You see, film means 'motion picture,' and so I'd be forced... to opt for stills and documentary shots." "Just sticking film clips together is not enough." "The important thing would be to show on film... how you react today." "The contract prevents me from doing the film the way I wanted... and I don't want to do it any other way, so I quit."" "Yes, only I never sent it." "Why did you go to Paris, then?" "Women don't have that thing." "That's the whole problem, isn't it?" "They want to have one... but they don't." "That's what leads to all this mental frustration... and all these... terrible..." "I have absolutely no sympathy with these females." "I don't call them women." "I call them females." "They can't think clearly." "You know, in all the universities... they've weighed women's brains and men's brains." "It's about half." "The female brain... weighs less than the male brain." "I didn't know." "Generally speaking." "Apart from my mother and daughter." "There are exceptions to the rule." "What's it called?" "There are exceptions to the rule, right?" "My daughter is my husband's child, isn't she?" "And she tells me what to do." "And my whole life revolves about her." "My childhood?" "Well, it was like any other childhood." "Nothing special about it." " Your father died when you were young?" " Yes." "Did you miss him?" "No." "You can't miss what you've never had." "You have to know in order to miss it." "Yes, but I know people who have no father, and they miss..." "Yes, nowadays they make a big thing of it." ""I didn't have a father."" "That's all rubbish." " Well, you don't have this longing..." " Longing!" "What about the orphanages?" "None of the orphans have fathers." "But your mother played a great role in your life?" "Oh, yes, naturally." " Could you tell us..." " Naturally she did." "Could you tell us about her?" "It's all in my book." "Who was this Josefine von Losch?" "A dancer?" "No, that's her mother." "She was later married to Herr von Losch." "Her maiden name was Dietrich." "I saw to the gravestone... and all that." "But the fuss they made of it!" "I mean, I'm still paying for it, and if it falls over... it should be put back." "But that's really uninteresting." "No, the only thing I could say... that was different... is that I came from a good family... was well brought up, taught good manners... was sent to good schools... and, of course, I benefited greatly from my upbringing... and the fact that my mother... brought me up "proper."" "Well, I don't know." "I think she brought me up properly." ""Girls from good families don't do that."" "That's how I was brought up." "And then I went through school, and that was that." "Nothing terribly interesting really." "Did your mother have a profession?" "No, they were wealthy people." "Berlin aristocracy." "Women didn't have professions in those days." " Did you have brothers or sisters?" " No." "So you grew up virtually with just your mother?" "Yes." " Incidentally, she did have a sister." " Of course she did." "Elisabeth..." "she was one year older." "Here's the proof." " Why does she hide the fact?" " More in keeping with the legend." "That's Marlene." "And that's her sister?" "The only good thing about those days is that we all had good teeth." "There was no sugar." "When you later returned to Berlin... did you visit places of your childhood?" " The house you grew up in?" " I couldn't care less." "May I ask where it was?" "I don't know." "I have no idea what the address was." "No." "What do I know?" "I don't know where I was born or anything like that." "The magazines are always claiming to have found something." "Well, it's not true." "That's why I'd like to know what is true." "What's true is... that what you read is untrue." "I'm not interested in the past." "When you told me you had read Proust..." "I thought to myself, "God, that's old." "I read that when I was at school... and it bored me even then."" " It's not the past that interests me." " What's the German called?" " Remembrance of Things Past." " Remembrance of Things Past." "Well, really no." "I'm much too practical a person." "I go by the present, what I have to do today and tomorrow." "But no, I've never looked backwards." "Why should anyone be interested in where they were born... or who rocked them in their arms and what kind of milk they got?" "It doesn't interest me." "I'm interested in today... today being the present." "I was an actress, I made my films, and that's it." " But..." " But you're a dreamer." " Aren't you?" " No, I'm not." " Never?" " You see, that's what I mean." "You're a dreamer, and I'm not." " Are you never a dreamer?" " No, no." " Never?" " I'm a practical person." "A logical person." "No time for dreaming." "I've worked all my life." "You don't get anywhere just dreaming." "That would be awful if you would be dreaming too." "Well, I don't care." "I get up when I have to get up, as long as stocks last." "Well, my secretary comes at 11:00... and then we have to answer all the letters... which means I have to have all the autographs done by 11:00... and that takes at least two hours... doing all the autographs and answering letters and I don't know." "I read Böll." "I read Günter Grass." "I read Peter Handke." "That's all." " You later returned to Berlin." " Me?" " Yes, with a show." " Oh, that was awful." "They went and put bombs in the theater." "You see, they were..." " But then, when the show began..." " But I've got pictures of it." "They came and stood outside and all that... and said, "Go home!"" "They didn't want me." "They were angry with me." "It was love-hate." "They said, "She left us." "She didn't want us."" "They loved me and hated me, both at the same time." "And there were very nice people too." "Willy Brandt was there at that time, and I went along... and we had a talk with one another." "And then there was this woman... a real Berliner, and she said to me..." ""Well, can't we be friends again?"" "And, you know, a lot of Berliners were like that." "But then, of course, there were a lot of others... who wouldn't forgive me." "They behaved... just like lovers." "One goes away, the other's angry." "Nothing new about that, is there?" ""Marlene Dietrich joined the American Army... and betrayed us and fought with them."" "Traitress!" "I know." "I've heard it all." "I think we should put things straight and say that, on the contrary... this was a brave decision." "No, sweetheart." "It was quite simple." "We wanted to finish the war... as quickly as possible." "We didn't know a thing about politics... but naturally we were against the Nazis." "Of course we were." "We knew about the concentration camps." "Children being gassed, etc." "We knew all about that." "So it wasn't difficult to decide." "If someone said, "Look, they're killing children... hundreds of thousands of people," then it's..." "Well, does it take such great courage to decide which side to take?" "No." "I couldn't help the fact that it was Germany." "You see, I didn't know just how much the Germans actually knew." "But at any rate, they were following Hitler." "That's all I knew." "And as I know the Germans... after all, I'm a German myself... well, they wanted their Führer and they got him." "Didn't they?" "Because all of us Germans are like that." "We want a leader." "Yes, we do." "We want someone to tell us what to do." "And so when that horrible Hitler came along... they all said..." ""Oh, how wonderful." "A real leader!"" "Someone who says, "Do this, do that." "Cook, open the door!" "Do this, do that."" "That's how I was brought up." "But not with Hitler." "That was too much for me." "And when friends die... and then with my father dying... one begins to relate to death in a different way." "And this is something which I find changes the older I get." "May I ask you how you relate to death?" "I don't." "You're not afraid of death?" "Who's afraid?" " Are you interested..." " One ought to be afraid of life... but surely not of death." "Once you're dead, that's it!" "It's all over." " You don't believe in an afterlife?" " Well, really!" "What..." "Excuse me, I don't know the German word, but... what rubbish." "Terrible." "You can't believe they're all flying about up there." "Well, can you?" "It's impossible." " Still, a lot..." " What?" "A lot of philosophers have racked their brains about it." "Yes, yes." "That's just to console us." "It all comes from the Bible." "They say she's flitting about up there and it's just to console people." "But one can't believe that, now, can one?" "But don't we all sometimes wonder during our lives... what comes afterwards or how it all ends?" "No, I only worry about what I have to do today." "It's as simple as that." "But you're not going to tell me they're all still alive." "Well, it must be terribly overcrowded up there... with all those people flitting about." "But if you'd lived during the war... and seen all the hundreds of thousands of people who were killed... they can't possibly all be flitting about up there." "Besides, I don't believe in a superior power." "Or if there is one, then it's crazy." "I don't know whether you know my Berlin record or not." "You don't?" "It's my best record." "I sang all the German songs on it." "Berlin's just crazy 'bout my legs" "Marvelous." "Typical Berlin humor." "Maybe I'm biased." "Well, naturally I am." "After all, I'm a Berliner myself." "But it's the kind of humor..." "Well, the Americans have a wonderful humor, but it's completely different." "You can't imagine just how beautiful you are, Berlin" "With you, with you" "I'd love to fish on Sundays" "Yes, that's what all the girls like" "The one in..." "I've forgotten." "And the one in the salon" "Isn't that just wonderful?" "And when the stars shine bright" "They dream of it at night" "You only find that in Berlin." "That was in Schöneberg in the month of May" "Untern Linden, untern Linden" "See the girlies walking by" "Ever had a lady friend" "You trusted to the very end" "Isn't that a beautiful rhyme?" "That only exists in Berlin." "Ever had a lady friend" "You trusted" "To the very end" "Beautiful, isn't it?" "There are times when everyone" "Thinks of things" "They might" "Have done" "That's heavenly, really." "Where did you get those lovely blue eyes" "So lovely and so pure" "I don't believe they're eyes at all" "They must be stars, I'm sure" "Heavenly, isn't it?" "Then there's "Berlin, Berlin"... and then "As long as the lime trees... bloom Unter den Linden."" "The whole record." " Well, if you say..." " What?" "If you say I'm a dreamer..." "I'd say from what I've seen you're also a dreamer." "You're right there." " There is a romantic..." " You're right." "Yes, you're right." "But now you've touched on something I just can't answer." "We didn't know what erotic was in those days." "I still don't even now." "But I think that's due to this romantic aspect... because although we found you very erotic in all of your films..." "But I wasn't erotic at all!" "I was snotty!" " Yes, but still..." " I didn't understand it." "Still, when one thinks of you there's something very romantic." "Yes, I understand what you mean." "That's the impression I gave, wasn't it?" "But that wasn't me." "Love, love, love, love." "Do you distinguish between love and the erotic?" " Yes." " But it can be both." "Yes, if they insist on it." "One lets them, doesn't one?" "We hope..." "We think, oh, God, if I don't let him... then he won't come back." "But that doesn't mean we're all that mad about it." "No, we feel... we have to, don't we?" "But it's not always a must." "There are times when it's quite enjoyable." "Well, I don't know." " As a dreamer!" " One can without." "Being a dreamer is something quite different." "I mean, some people thought Hemingway and I... and it wasn't true." "Never!" "I loved him." "And he loved me." "And I have all of his letters locked up in a bank safe... in New York." "The love we shared..." "Well, I don't know what you'd call it... but there was nothing erotic... or... what's it called... sexual about it, no." " Forgive me, but I find that hard..." " It is hard to understand." "I find it hard to understand... because if I had known you as Hemingway... and yet not for a moment..." "Not for a moment!" "to have even hinted..." "well, I don't know." " No, never." " It's a mystery to me." "But Hemingway was... above that... above the sexual." "I don't think... he ever gave it a thought." "Because, generally... when people start sleeping with one another and all the rest... then it ruins things." "Why are there so many broken marriages... and why do so many people crack up with their love affairs?" "That might be a reason." "Gabin was simple, but pigheaded." "I mean pigheaded." "Now a male question." "You needn't answer it." "That's funny, isn't it?" "A male question?" "What's that?" "I'm coming to that." "How did your husband manage to get you to marry him?" "Oh, God." "That is a difficult question." "I don't know." " Excuse my asking..." " Not at all." "I quite understand." "Well, he was Joe May's assistant... or Joe "My," as we pronounced it... and the film was called The Tragedy of Love... funnily enough." "We were all sent along from drama school... but they said "no."" "What we need are..." "Oh, God, what did they call them?" "It was a German word for loose women." " What is it?" " Whores?" "No, not as bad as that." "Loose women." " What's it called?" " Harlot?" " Floosie?" " What?" "Floosie?" "Floosies are kept women." "They are very beautiful and very rich." "Then he said to me..." ""Well, maybe you could put a monocle in your ear."" "No. "In your eye."" "Sorry." ""In your eye."" "And they asked me to come back the next day." "And so I arrived wearing this monocle of my father's... which my mother had kept." "I really couldn't see a thing." "And he said, "Fine."" "It certainly wasn't love at first sight." "Did he invite you to dinner then?" "No, no, God, no." "You worked together." "Can you remember?" "How did he propose?" "No." "If a German girl falls in love, she gets married." " It was as simple as that." " But there must have been..." "Nowadays there's all this fuss about living together and the rest of it." "We didn't have that." "You want to marry me?" "Oh, God, you are sweet!" "My child..." "I hope you are aware of the gravity of this hour." "Well, I was a young girl." "I didn't know a thing." "But he went along and asked my mother, you know..." " All very correct?" " He asked for my hand in marriage." "But who did he ask first?" "You or your mother?" "I said, "Well, all right, if you want to."" "And then he went to my mother and asked for my hand in marriage." "Well, really!" "Then there was the wedding and all that and all the family... and then we left on our honeymoon... and they all threw rice at the train..." "It must have been terrible." "Anyhow, that's all I can remember." "And that has nothing to do with our documentary." "That's another film." "You see, he was a very, very... sensitive person." "Just imagine." "He'd never have taken it." " The things he had to endure." " Incredible." "In the shadow of a famous woman." "Dreadful." "But I didn't know that." "I'm much more impressed by her now... than I ever was before." "Wasn't there something about her role in Witness for the Prosecution?" "What was it?" "Marlene didn't get nominated for an Oscar... as Billy Wilder didn't want to give the game away." "She did in fact play both the part of the Cockney girl and Mrs. Wohl." "And why didn't he want to?" "Because the whole story hinged on the fact... that no one knew it was the same woman." " But they saw the film." " Why weren't the Academy people told?" "They saw the film." "They must've known." "I saw it." "I knew." "We'd have to ask Billy Wilder." "He's the only one who knows." "Anyway, she deserved an Oscar for the part." "Rubbish." "Greta Garbo never got one either." "Nor did Chaplin." "Then there's the deathbed award." "They quickly give you one before you die." "One director we haven't yet talked about is Hitchcock." " I knew him very little." " But you filmed with him." "That doesn't mean one knows one another." "Doesn't one get to know a director well during work?" "No, not Hitchcock." "Johnny, say you love me." "You really do love me, don't you?" "I think he's dead." "I'm sure he's dead." " I didn't want to do it!" " Who's dead?" " My husband." " Charlotte." "We argued terribly because of you." "And so I thought if she does exactly what the director wants... she'd said she never watched her old films... then it might be a good idea... to now bring a video machine into her apartment... and thus obtain spontaneous reactions or comments to certain scenes." "You can't suddenly make a silent movie if we're talking." "We argued to and fro and in the end we brought the video to the apartment... and her agent slipped me a note... on which he'd written a saying from Dante Alighieri:" ""There is no greater pain than the recollection of past happiness... in times of misery."" "Put the sound down." "We don't want..." "We're not going to sit here and listen to the sound." "That's ridiculous." "I picked the scene where we're riding up the stairs." " That's right at the end..." " The revolution." "There you are." "Everyone likes revolution nowadays." "Put the sound..." " Up or down?" " Up." "Yes, the sound." "No, there's a lot more sound than that." "That's it." "Put the sound up." "The sound is wonderful." "But it's wrongly edited, sweetheart." "I don't know where you got the film." "What do you want from me?" "I didn't do anything." " Oh, love..." " As long as you can love..." "Oh, love as long as you may love." "The hour comes..." "When you will stand at gravesides weeping." "Whoever opens you their heart... do all you can to please them." "Fill all their lives with joy..." "And never cause them sadness." "And guard your tongue." "Harsh words are easily said." ""Oh, God, I meant no harm."" "The other kneels and complains." "You kneel down at the graveside and say:" ""Oh, look down upon me, crying here on your grave." "Forgive me for hurting you." " Oh, God, I meant no harm."" " No harm." "But he neither hears nor sees you." "He shuns the welcome of your arms." "The mouth which often kissed you says no more." "I've long since forgiven you." "In truth, he has forgiven you... though many a hot tear was shed for you and your harsh words." "But still he rests." "He's reached his end." "I'm afraid I can't say that." "It makes me cry." "I just can't." "No, it's all right." "Maybe it's a kitschy poem, but I don't know..." "My mother really loved it." "It's something so many people say..." ""I meant no harm."" "And the most beautiful line is:" ""The other leaves and complains."" "It's maybe nowadays too sentimental." "Maybe." "Subtitles by Captions, Inc." "Los Angeles"
