"smart First Lieutenant Kaiser himself!" "and you, Lieutenant, you'll accompany me!" " dismissed!" " servus, First Lieutenant of course you're coming with us." "especially since Theo asked for you but I have a singing lesson just as you please." "But I'm telling you, you can still sing when you're 50 and if Theo asks especially for you he'll have a reason, won't he?" "because Theo is not somebody just downing his Tokayer, but he has a character, I'm telling you and he really likes Fritz by the way, how is he, Fritz?" "I don't know you don't know?" "you let yourself be taken home by a gentleman and then you don't know how he is?" "when I drive with a gentleman from the theater to Prenzing, I know at once how he is we didn't speak silent waters run deep he had a headache headache?" "I know all about that." ""Dearest, I have a headache, can't we go up to my place" that's what headache means!" "but Mitzi!" "you shouldn't think the worst just because he's a lieutenant surely he's always like that, silent and shy that would be a pity, I'm telling you as your friend" "Madam, I'm terribly sorry, but we don't stock this article" "I'm distressed myself, if Madam could pass in the afternoon a good day, I kiss your hand what did the lady want?"

"I don't want to mention the incident in the opera but in the street, gentlemen!" "at night, one of my gentlemen without his cap!" "do you imagine, gentleman, that because of you we'll have issued an army order that the honourable dragoon officers will have to fasten their caps with a ribbon after dark, so it won't fly away" "I strongly insist, gentlemen to take this to heart" "thank you!" "I think he meant us this soup is quite cold it seems the gentlemen who got us into this are having lunch elsewhere" "the major is perfectly right" "I'd like to know how an officer can laeve his cap behind impossible!" "I can only think of one occasion." "but on that occasion, I take my cap off!" "he's still a youngster, he doesn't have your problems sometimes one has to leave so quickly, one leaves other thinks beside one's cap our good friend Lobheimer is really quite careless the guy has too much luck with women" "what's the matter with him" "I'm not saying anything, but on the last regimental ball... the way he danced that was a bit too obvious" "a good day" "what was that?" " he ought to know." " why me?" "you know with whom he danced with whom?" "with the baroness Eggersdorf so what?"

"I just want a few words may I ask what about yes, it's very simple" "and very disagreeable it regards rumors concerning you" "you and my wife" "of course I find it very embarrassing coming to you because of simple rumors, but" "I know your father and his family" "you realize that?" "I just need your word of honour, lieutenant" "Dori, are you or aren't you telling me who is the gentleman" ""bills, old bills"" "you're disgusting" "I thank you, lieutenant" "I won't keep you any longer till tomorrow" " you permit - one moment" "I am at your disposal" " what's the matter - now today... please Mitzi, leave us alone for a moment" "I want to hear it, too be reasonable, go outside for a moment, we have an important official matter to discuss" "now when I think I had left the whole affair behind me" "come, let's go to the balcony" "I'm not at all interested in your stupid secret" "I don't have to know, I can celebrate by myself as you please, I'll take my wine and celebrate for myself" " you'll be my second, won't you?" " of course and please talk to Lenski tonight" "I want him to be my other second as to the conditions" "I must accept everything the baron demands don't be so nervous, maybe it can all be settled" "such things pass well in 99 out of 100 cases" "I have the certain feeling that the baron will make sure it won't pass well this time and if I'm right look after Christine, won't you" "don't talk such rubbish" "I have the sincerest conviction that this whole affair..." " Fritz" " Christl put on your coat you'll catch cold we'll go in soon. we were waiting for you." "I'll open the door." " what shall we tell the girls?" " that doesn't matter now most of all, Christine must know nothing, but nothing!" "I'll just tell her, I have to take leave for two days, and... and we'll move into the barracks and... don't worry, I'll manage we'll just tell him, we pay on the first and he'll be satisfied" "isn't it mean of Dori to celebrate all alone" "you two make up, I'll open the door for Christl" "Fritz, something has happened" "I was introduced to the chorus director, and tomorrow I have an audition it it works out well I'll be a famous singer then I'll have my own carriage" "Fritz, are you happy?" "of course I am happy and then I'll be famous and all the people will know me and how father will be pleased" "then I'll go with you to the balls I can't go to just now the great balls, you know" "look whom I bring you, Christine Weyring the greatest singer of the Imperial Opera of the future and Mitzi Schlager, the hungriest girl of the present so you change trains in Prague" "Rudolph wants you to go to your parents' country place" "Counselor Exner will take care of the rest tell him I'm sorry, Leopold" "very sorry" "I'll tell him have a good trip" "Dori, listen, let me tell you something you are stupid and Fritz is boring a party cannot be like this" "I've seen a lot of parties but this is the most boring one then let's go down to Stadelmayer and fetch another Tokayer we have enough Tokayer at home be quiet. we'll go down and leave those two alone" "you'll accompany me, I find it too cold to be out on the street alone" "see you, maybe not" "halt what's the matter?" "it's not possible why not?" "what if the caretaker sees me?" "I have a key of my own now" "Dori, you're a genius" "what's the matter, Fritz?" "nothing you're so quiet tonight" " Christl?" " yes?" "listen" "Tomorrow, I'll probably have to..." "I think I'll have to take a leave you're going away?" "but only for two days then I'll be back" "I hope two days?" "I'm a always glad when I can see you" "Fritz, you are surely going away for longer than two days but yes" "Fritz, stay here, you surely will go away longer" "I don't think so" "and it's really unimportant for how long I'm going away you see, I..." "I like you a lot don't I?" "yes you're right, Fritz" "even if you stay away a whole year you're free, you've promised nothing" "and I have asked nothing of you and what becomes of me, that's of no importance" "I'm so happy that I... you can't ask more of life" "I just want you to know it and to believe me that I haven't loved anyone before you came, and that I certainly won't love anybody when you don't love me anymore" "I'm so happy" "court hearing regarding a matter of honour between" "Baron Rudolph von Eggersdorff, Legationsrat, Reserve Lieutenant of the 12 Hussar Regiment, as offended party" "Lobheimer, Fritz, lieutenant in the 3rd Dragoon Regiment, as offender seconds are his brother, major Baron Leopold von Eggersdorff" "Bezirkshauptmann Count Czarsky and First Lieutenants Lenski and Kaiser the conditions are:" "the conditions: for a civilian very charming for Lobheimer very honourable this is not a duel somebody once talked back at me, I told him: "I don't duel with civilians.""
