"Dishwater!" "..." "We must add some more broth cubes!" "..." "Salt!" "There is no salt!" "..." "The first element for life, and for food!" "Pull out the cigarettes, Bumke!" "And then I will settle accounts with you!" "Life here is so monotonous..." "I thought a little smoke would make it brighter!" "..." "Don't you care they are thirteen?" "What could the Director want from me?" "..." "Scold me because of my tender and sensible heart?" "..." "My poor mother always told me:" "Gustav,.." "you're too sentimental;" "if you don't restrain yourself,.." "you'll experience trouble after trouble!" "..." "Bumke, I called for you because I must tell you.." "I already know what you want to tell me, Mr. Director.." "but you'll understand that the heart has its reasons..." "Keep your moth shut;" "let me do the talking!" "Because of you.." "I had to interrupt my Sunday rest..." "Why did you have to bother so, Mr. Director?" "You'd have time tomorrow..." "So then, Bumke, I got good news..." "but keep quiet and don't interrupt me!" ".." "..and, upon proposal of the Inspector General, you've been granted.." "three months remission of detention for your good conduct..." "You're a little surprised, isn't it true?" "No Mr. Director..." "I knew my merits would be recognized!" "Bid me farewell, I beg you;" "not goodbye!" "Yes my dear Paul, they sent me home, although they were sorry to lose a man of my sort!" "Tell me Gustav: is Plötzensee really.." "such a modern and pleasurable prison as they say?" "You've gotten even more elegant and beautiful, Anjuska!" "It wasn't too bad at Plötzensee..." "but I prefer it here..." "I longed so much for my sweet mattress!" "Retirement home for the released..." "The Redemption Friends..." "The hell with it!" "Look!" "Herbert sends me his greetings from Chicago!" ".." "There are still people who don't forget the benefits they received!" "Dear Mr. Bumke, I won't come of age until the end of the year, but if.." "someone could take care of me, I could leave the Institute immediately." "One moment, Anjuska!" "I got to take care of my mail now!" ".." "Everything at its proper time and place!" "I'm tired of this life." "In memory of my dad, help me." "With the best hope that.." "my request shall be fulfilled, yours affectionately Willy Prawanzke." "It's Karl Prawanzke's son." "Poor soul, he's waiting for a reply since 6 months!" "But I'm waiting since three years, dear!" "Damn makeup!" "How many times have I told you not to plaster yourself so?" "Paul and all the other friends are awaiting you at the same old bar." "No my boy!" "I want to spend this evening in the sweet intimacy of my own home!" "You go ahead;" "Yvonne and I will catch up with you." "Yvonne, do me a big favor: hide these pictures of me that Ralph took..." "God forbid if Gustav should see them!" "Golly!" "..." "And you didn't catch a cold?" "Let me see how I look in this thing!" "Anjuska, listen to me!" "I know men very well; if you don't.." "want to eat anything but rage you got to choose: one or the other!" "It's Ralph!" "..." "Please go downstairs and persuade him to leave me alone, now..." "Anjuska asked me to tell you that it's all over between the two of you..." "Save your breath!" "I repeat that Anjuska is not at home!" "Tell her that I shall return tomorrow morning!" "The usual chop for Mr. Bumke!" "Unfortunately I have to be content with just looking at you.." "and to sigh like and old broken bellows!" "No boys!" "I don't intend to follow you on this route.." "I want to live a life of honest work..." "Watch out!" "Ralph is a tough customer;" "tomorrow morning he'll come for you." "Follow my advice, give up these plans!" ".." "If you insist, it'll be your ruin!" "You wanted to scare me, didn't you?" "..." "Gustav is not here; you sent him out..." "Willy Prawanzke, here is your certificate." "The young man is now entrusted to your generous care, Mr. Bumke:.." "I don't doubt that you'll watch over him and take care of his future." "Rest assured headmistress:" "I shall be like a second father to Willy." "I swear it on my conscience!" "Look who's here!" "So they finally got rid of you?" "Reluctantly superintendent, reluctantly!" "They loved me a lot, down there..." "What did the superintendent mean?" "Nothing!" "..." "We're old friends;" "when we meet, we always joke..." "I'll open right away, Gustav!" "You know I put the chain when I'm alone at home!" "Why didn't you leave him where he was?" "But I couldn't leave my best friend's son in that institution, like a waif!" "It's a matter of good-heartedness, Anjuska!" "Well, if you don't want him here, I'll ask Paul to keep him in his house." "Why do you just stand there?" "Come on in, then!" "Woe betides you if you say one word!" "I'm expecting you tomorrow, at my studio." ""Reserved: for Mr. Bumke"." ""Ralph Kruschewsky Artistic photographs Very reasonable prices"." "Quiet!" "Anjuska is rehearsing." "Look at me, Gustav!" "..." "Do you like me like this?" "You still have a passion for furs?" "No, no, Anjuska!" "..." "More liveliness!" "..." "More zest!" "..." "Like this!" "..." "For the next dance, the ladies will choose." "How beautiful you are, Anjuska!" "As beautiful as a statue!" "Anjuska, don't be a fool!" "You can collect the photograph at my studio in half an hour." "Who knows, we might win the fur!" "Never mind, Anjuska!" "We didn't strike it, this time!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you sniffing?" "Boy, if you have brains, use it!" "And leave!" "Woe betides you if you spill the beans!" "Anjuska is out there with the others, watching the fireworks." "Aren't you mistaken?" "..." "Anjuska went away..." "I tell you that Anjuska was here before, anxious because you were late..." "Paul is lying!" "Anjuska is cheating on you..." "He's drunk!" "Don't listen to him, Gustav!" "Speak up, you snake!" "Speak up or I'll strangle you!" "Where is Anjuska?" "She's at the photographer's studio." "Last night's scene took a turn for the worse..." "They took Ralph to the hospital, and the police are investigating..." "The police are also looking for the one.." "that made an expensive fur coat disappear..." "I don't want to be a bird of ill omen,.." "but I fear a foul wind is blowing for you..." "Good morning Mr. superintendent!" ".." "I'd never expect such an honor..." "so early in the morning." "May I treat you something?" "A coffee?" "..." "A drop of slap-up aqua-vitae?" "What on earth are you saying, Mr. superintendent?" "!" "They stole a lady's fur coat?" "..." "It's unfortunate that such things happen..." "Right, Bumke..." "and I thought that you... would know something and could enlighten me..." "Oh, Mr. superintendent!" "..." "You've got to be kidding..." "I'm not a woman, to get involved with fur coats..." "Last night we were dancing at Trepow's." "Yes, my Anjuska has something of the kind..." "She was wearing it at the dance last night..." "I can well believe it that the stolen one was new...nobody likes used stuff... burglars least of all..." "Don't forget I'm expecting you at the police station, Bumke:" "you must be interrogated with the others..." "Something smells fishy, Paul!" "His undue kindness is suspicious... and induces me to take off as soon as possible." "Let me sleep, Gustav!" "Don't bug me!" "The house is surrounded by now!" "No problem!" "..." "I'll go by the roofs." "You can't imagine how they keep an eye on me..." "In order to come here, I had to take a long detour and hide..." "I want to see Anjuska: go to her and tell her to come here." "Here's the key..." "Be careful: don't let them catch either one of you..." "Take some change for the streetcar." "I'm telling you again that I don't want to have anything more to do with Gustav." "He ordered me to come and tell you, and I'm telling you!" "He's at Tegel, Hope Colony, attic 19." "Well then, Anjuska, have you thought about it?" "..." "Are you willing to tell me where he is, that good Gustav?" "I know nothing..." "Shall I sing it to you?" "Go away, please." "Will you be so kind as to tell me something about your promenade today?" "You suddenly disappeared from under my eyes..." "What do you want from this boy?" "He doesn't know anything, like me..." "He never moves from here..." "We'll keep him locked until he decides to talk..." "Let him go, and I'll tell you where Gustav is!" "Don't believe her, Mr. superintendent!" "She's trying to trick you!" "Tegel, Hope Colony, attic 19." "Put away that frog!" "..." "There's no need to make noise..." "Come on, get your stuff and come with me." "Now tell me who spilled the beans..." "Your Anjuska." "Quick, Gustav!" "Tell me what you want from me..." "We've only got a few minutes, you know..." "How elegant you are, Anjuska!" "Whom for do you make yourself so beautiful?" "What a question!" "You know I like being smart...for myself..." "Whom for, then, did you have me locked up?" "You're on the wrong track, if you think it was me... and that I did it to..." "get rid of you..." "I just wanted to know his name, so I can meet him when I'll get out of here..." "But you won't get out so soon, Gustav!" "You took the fur, and Ralph died at the hospital..." "Do you mean that he has got time to be happy?" "..." "The Court has judged Gustav Bumke guilty of theft and the wounding,... followed by death, of Ralph Kruschewsky, and, considered the extenuating... circumstances, has sentenced him to a term of six years in jail." "No, Willy whistles from the courtyard." "It must be Mrs. Pozzord." "Open up." "Why are you yelling?" "It's me, in the flesh, not a ghost!" "I hope you don't mind I came here every night to keep company to Anjuska..." "She's always so lonely, poor soul!" "Hush!" "I didn't ask you anything!" "Maybe I'd better leave...you two want to talk...and then I'm due home..." "You can go later!" "No one can leave this place now!" "Shall we go to the coffee shop?" "Paul and the friends will surely like seeing you." "I'm sorry..." "I'm waiting for someone..." "Gustav, you're wrong if you bear a grudge against Anjuska..." "Willy!" "My Willy!" "I love no one but you, you alone!" "I never really loved before I met you..." "I'm a coward, ungrateful!" "Kill me!" "Death would not be a punishment..." "You stay with her and.." "I shall be enough avenged some day..." "Here I am, Mr. superintendent..." "I ran away just to settle these sentimental matters of mine, not to be free..." "Believe me Gustav..." "Today is that one..." "tomorrow it'll be another..." "Do you want to spend your life fighting the whole world?" "Maybe you're right, Mr. superintendent!" "And when you have so many torments,.." "Plötzensee is preferable..." "There, you can live in peace, far from the world!"
