"..with Nazi rule in Germany." "And today, we are a united people, more closely knit, one to another, in our common resolve than at any time in our history." "More united, if that were possible, and certainly no less determined than when, some 25 years ago we pledged ourselves to fight in a good cause." "For such a cause we are fighting with one heart and mind today." "Must they destroy everything again?" "What is it that has leveled the internal barrier?" "What do you think?" "Should we put a call through?" "Is it still possible?" "First, we have a good conscience." "The white paper which the government recently made public and which disposed..." "I have work to do." "..preceded the outbreak of war made it clear beyond doubt..." " The book by Erolachais." " Which book is that?" "Essays In Egyptology." "Big, blue book." "I had it right here." " I don't think we brought it." " I was reading it today." " I'll ask Paula." " Paula?" " Paula, the housekeeper." " I know who Paula is!" "Don't treat me li...ke an idiot!" "What does Paula know about my book?" "It is here." "Papa, some things had to be left behind." " Again." " That's enough." "Oh, what's this?" "Tomorrow, I'm going to Neutitschein with Papa." "It won't be for long." "And that's why we say our prayers and go to confession, my little blackamoor." "Cos when we go to judgment, the ones who've never repented, the ones who've done evil in their lives," "wake up in hell and the devils tie them down and brand their bodies with hot irons for a thousand years and then another thousand and another." "And the pain never gets less." "The pain, the smell of burning and the thirst, unending, without sleep for a thousand years" "and another thousand." "Would you like to come with me to church?" "Come with me." "Because, when you die, my little blackamoor..." "Paula?" "He might at least have the good manners to close the door." " Sigi!" " Let him eat later if he wants." "Bennett's coming." "It's not enough you don't speak to us any more, let alone eat with us." "And must your sisters give up the piano now?" "You expect them to fetch and carry for you?" "Sigi." "Sigi." "I came to see if you were working." "We're in the garden." "It's so warm, you'd think midsummer." "Where's Anna?" "Why are you so angry with us, these last few days?" "I'm not angry." "You know what Minna says?" "Now everyone's declaring war, he doesn't want to be left out." "Is the pain bad?" "I need to do some alterations on the Moses book." "I must have the Erolachais." "The man spent his life studying Akhenaten and his court." "We'll look for it together." "Lucky man." "To be a harmless archeologist." "If I had my life over again," "I'd give up all this spade work, leave it to others, and devote myself to a new science," "to the world of psychic phenomena." "What do you think?" "Is it a science?" "I don't deny the value of the work but the evidence on which it is based is personal testimony, guesswork." " Clinical observation." " But with a definite and limited field." "You make of it a medical philosophy." "A scientist doesn't take a handful of insights and weave them into a hair shirt for the whole of humanity." "You say it's your experience that confirms your work." "That's not a scientist's attitude." "On that principle, this book might as well be a gigantic novel." "Perhaps I'll live to see the day when Newton is reproached for his theory of gravity because the apple fell on his head, not on someone else's." "But the theory of gravity is a fact." "What you've got here is... a mythology." "In the true sense." "A universal story." "Mesdames et messieurs." "An unusual place to take lunch." "Or are you still here from this morning?" "Come, come, come." "I'm used to seeing you nearer the front but not for several weeks now." "You have decided to make yourself less conspicuous." "No, I enjoy watching your audience." "They were appreciative today." "We seem to have interrupted each other." "You should be in your laboratory, so should I." "Good day." "Maitre... the patient you hypnotized this morning, the case of hysterical abasia, what would happen if her memory of the traumatic event could be removed completely, permanently, as if her lover had never left her, or not in that fashion?" "Is that desirable, do you think, hm?" "What would professor Meynert say to such a course?" "Preferable, surely, to remaining a cripple?" "As far as we can tell, it is this memory she is suffering from." "Are we to leave people deranged by reminiscences?" "Oh, there speaks the Jew." "Men of the world." "To look at, not in the height of fashion, perhaps, but men of reason, practical, bloodthirstily intellectual." "And underneath this plausible disguise, dreamers riven with guilt, fleeing from what?" "Why so eager to eradicate the past, to want to make this girl a wandering Jewess?" "Oh, yes, you can make her forget... but what is more important?" "To free her into a different illusion or to try to learn from her how the brain manufactures such diseases?" "What you saw today was theater to understand the mind." "We must wait for the biologists to tell us." "Back to your microscope." "Why?" "Is it so tedious?" "Would you like to learn, then, how to hypnotize?" "The body is as malleable as a dream, Sigi." "Help me." "Alser Strasse, number 51." "Take my tip." "23 and 28, the two cycles combined." "Do you find it recurring often in your life?" "Could be a premonition." "Learn to handle women, that make sure" "The doctor knows one little place to cure" "A bedside manner sets their heart at ease" "And then they're yours for treatment as you please" "We're almost twins." "The same mentors, the same ambitions, and you're the only one, I think," "who knows what it's like to be treated as a provincial, an upstart." " As if science were a bourgeois prerogative." " And hypnotism not even a science." "You find the same?" "What an age we live in." "More afraid of the unknown than the most primitive era." "At least savages hold number in awe." "You can imagine how my researches are greeted." "They might as well be necromancy, divination." "If I was to choose my epitaph," "I should like it to be the one Sophocles wrote of Oedipus," " who solved the riddle of the sphinx..." " And was a man most mighty." "I've made a mental note of your date of birth." "Find out the hour for me." "I promise you, it's not astrology." "The cycles of the body and the psyche have no need of the stars to rule our lives." "Are your parents devout?" "Yes." "Thoroughly devout." "They're old-fashioned in every way." "Progressive Berlin doesn't exist for them." "On Friday nights, we could be back in Galicia." "Village Jews, oblivious to the world." "Do you miss it?" "I do." "Every day." "When we came to Vienna, I felt enclosed, surrounded by a greedy squabbling tribe of brothers and sisters, one after the other." "Offerings to the city gods, to conquer or submit to them." "I was expected to be their leader, an example to them," " when all I wanted was to go back to Freiberg." " Where you were king." "No." "Something else." "It was like being a spy in an adult world, a world of men." "My father had been married before." "I had adult stepbrothers." "They seemed like gods." "I had the freedom of the woods." "Why did you leave?" "Just like your father, mine dreamed of a coach and four." "And have you never been back since then?" "Once, to fall in love." "I went to stay with friends one holiday." "The girl was 16, the same age as I was." "I mooned around hopelessly, imagining myself a Hamlet, averta." "The silly girl was perfectly inaccessible to passion." "Until, in sheer frustration, I fell in love with Frau Fluss, superior to her daughter in every way." "I've often wondered what Shakespeare would have made of Ophelia's mother." "Frankly, the hero of this book is romantic." "He finds adulthood a tormenting dream." "Every page tells us so." "Life disappoints him, everyone betrays him," "everyone rejects him." "Professor Meynert." "Here, my boy." "Over here." "My housekeeper's disappeared." "I'll give you her address." "Do you think...you could find her?" "I'll try." "I knew you'd help." "You see this?" "I can't feel a thing." "My..." "My grandfather was a policeman." "Do you know that?" " No." " Oh, yes." "A police surgeon." "He used to lock me in my room as a boy." "Not even a pot to piss in." "Would you like to have my books when I'm dead?" " To have them?" " Have them, yes." "My library." " Surely there's no cause..." " That's not why I sent for you." "Sorcerer's apprentice, that's what you've become." "Should never have sent you to Charcot." "You come back with a hatful of spells for your lady patients." "Still, what you get up to with them is your business." "But you talk a lot of rot about hysteria in the male." "Charcot taught you that, did he?" "A neurotic Frenchman." "Male hysteria?" "And I denounced you, didn't I?" "In front of everyone." "Well, I've got something to tell you." "I've been a hysteric all my life." "What have you got to say to that?" " I knew you suffered from a palsy." " Don't pussyfoot with me, man." "What's the matter with you?" "Haven't you any emotions?" "Come on, take a drink from the skull of the enemy." "Come on, take some of my damn books, take some of my books." "Come on, enjoy it." "I became a criminal at 12." "In my desk." "Come on!" "Ignaz!" ""For 11 years, I'd not seen Joe nor Biddy with my bodily eyes," ""though they had both been often before my fancy in the East." ""When upon an evening in December, an hour or two after dark," ""I laid my hand softly on the latch of the old kitchen door." ""I touched it so softly that I was not heard" ""and I looked in unseen." ""There, smoking his pipe in the old place by the kitchen firelight," ""as hale and as strong as ever, though a little gray, sat Joe." ""And there, fenced into the corner with Joe's leg and sitting on my own little stool," ""looking at the fire, was I again." ""'We give him the name of Pip for your sake, dear old chap, ' said Joe," ""delighted when I took another stool by the child's side." ""But I did not rumple his hair." ""'And we hoped he might grow a little bit like you, and we think he do.'" ""I thought so too and I took him out for a walk next morning" ""and we talked immensely, understanding one another to perfection." ""And I took him down to the churchyard" ""and set him on a certain tombstone there." ""And he showed me from that elevation" ""which stone was sacred to the memory of Philip Pirrip," ""late of this parish," ""and also Georgiana, wife of the above."" "Tell her..." "I release her... from all vows." "In order to understand, in order to rid yourself of the confused emotions which haunt your adult life," "you must go further back, back to a time when your very presence threatened to destroy your parents' love and when your demands made a lover of one and an enemy of the other." "This inexorable family drama returns, disguised in adulthood, a landscape, peopled for the grown-up boy by figures of threatening authority and reincarnations of motherhood," "as it is for the grown-up girl by jealous, maternal counterparts and likenesses of her father." "A landscape of ghosts." "Tell her." "# Voi che sapete" "# Che cosa e l'amor" "# Donna vedete" "# S'io I'ho nel cor #" "The past." "That great excuse." "No wonder your patients are grateful." "They learn to attribute their ailments to some long, lost experience, only too glad to be distracted from who and what they are, from what they could be if they weren't at the mercy of their childhood." "You don't want to cure them." "You said so yourself." "It's not the cure that counts but knowledge and submission." "How could they hope to change, imprisoned by the monstrous, unalterable past?" "It's just the opposite." " You understood that once." " Ah, the patient is free when he knows he cannot change." "You think I should lie to them to win their trust?" "Lie to them?" "Not when they prefer your bitter pill of truth." "You call it adjusting to the facts, that the decisive events of their lives are over, gone." "It's all too late." "What's left is civilized despair." "The beast must be tamed." "The human animal chained to his daily round will smile and work and suffer for his sins until the seventh generation." "That's why you hate religion so." "Seven generations aren't enough for you." "The very thought of joyous aspiration must be checked before it leads to chaos, social anarchy." "And pleasure, that must be taken secretly, tiptoeing back into the garden of childhood desires." "The well-tempered neurotic." "In one respect, you're right." "Neurosis is not a thing to cure." "It cures us." "It is nature's attempt to heal through fantasy." "But you think a happy person never fantasizes, only an unhappy one." "There speaks the introvert, the narcissist." "Dreams can be wholesome, joyous and creative." "Poor man, how could you understand?" "You think everyone is a pampered child who needs to be woken to his fate." "Well, that's your vision of your own life, not mine." "And what I find repellent is the way you glorify this lonely, tragic destiny, the sacrifice of instinct in a higher social cause, while seizing whatever guilty pleasures come your way, ruthlessly." "The very essence of civilized behavior." "To be a conformist in public, immoralist in print and, in private, a cynic," "an adulterer." "Your ideas I find merely pitiful but your hypocrisy disgusts me." "It seems to me your father has much to answer for... and that this destiny you fear so much has found us out." "Hasn't it?" "Why do you hound me with such a venom, when you know quite well that clandestine affairs are hardly my prerogative?" "You don't shout yours from the rooftops, nor do I expect you to, but I, must I be your Christ to the last?" "If I'm wrong, enlighten me." "Why do you hate me so?" "# Voi che sapete" "# Che cosa e l'amor" "# Donne vedete" "# S'io I'ho nel cor... #" "Good that someone in the family has a voice." "Next summer you must come with me to Italy." "Will you come?" "I warn you." "I exhaust my traveling companions." "You'll come back with your mind full of cathedrals and railway stations, totally confused." "The railway stations are the ones where you have time to admire the architecture." "I shall introduce you to the wine which killed a member of the Fugger family, the first Jew to succumb to the pleasures of medieval Tuscany." "You shall go to bed drunk and dream significant dreams" " and I'll explain them to you in the morning." " Oh, I do hope not." "Is it hard to be an analyst's daughter?" "To be your daughter." "I've begun to realize how hard that is." "No, it's not hard." "In time, you'll be an analyst." "You'll probably marry an analyst." "I could have told you that when you were 12." "Of all my children, you're the only one who's gifted in that direction," " actually gifted." " That makes it even harder." "No." "No. you'll see." "It makes it easier, or it will do, when I've analyzed you." " Is that permitted?" " Permitted?" "It's inevitable." "And better taken by the horns." "Don't you think every conversation we have, you and I, is a kind of analysis?" "Every encounter between father and child, husband and wife, however clumsy and brutal, it's always an adventure... of self-revelation or self-deception." "An analysis is no more than a conversation, an honest one, between enlightened friends." "Don't you believe me?" "Are you afraid?" "Am I allowed a father complex?" "If you didn't have one, I should take it as an insult." "And you have a great advantage." "I don't take it personally." "Perhaps I shall exhaust you in Italy." "Is it bad for a daughter to have so much of her father in her and not mind?" "You're aware of the likeness and that's what matters." "That's why I say it isn't hard for you to be who you are." "The hardship in life, the only hardship lies in trying to be someone different." "Yours is the easiest task of anyone I've ever met." "I wish we could be like this forever." "Help me." "I don't want to die here." " Professor, er, Sig..." " It's short for Sigmund." " Are you, er..." " Freud." "Do I look like the butler?" "There's a charge, that's all, sir." "Do you want money?" "Just four shillings, if you please, sir." "Can you wait?" "I'll sign for it." "Princes never carry money." "Coming to Breuer's tonight?" "Perhaps." "But I don't want to stay out late." "I'm off to Hamburg in the morning." "Again?" "Must you reproach him?" "He wants to marry the girl." "But does she want to marry him?" "# La ci darem la mano #" "I beg you not to encourage this folly." "I think I speak as a neutral here, being unmarried and without any prospects of marriage." "You're very pale." "I'm quite well, thank you." "Don't." "Don't." "Someone will see." "Some women are afraid to go out on their own, shopping or just walking, even during the day." "Do you know what that means?" "It means they are accusing their mothers of unfaithfulness." "How can you be so absurdly dogmatic?" "I'm being deliberately dogmatic to provoke you." "So, let me explain." "The strangers she meets on the street..." "The reason why women do not go out alone is that they are ashamed." " They're ashamed of the world." " Ashamed of the world?" "I'm speaking about Jewish women." "They're ashamed to live in a city where a man can get up in public and talk about putting Jews into ships and sending them out to be sunk at sea." " That's not why women won't go out alone." " I'll tell you why." "Every stranger on the street is more attractive than her husband." " Very good." " And that's why they come to you." "Because they've married rich, unattractive men and kind find nothing better to do than come out in hysterical symptoms." "That's why your consulting room is so full of women." "There is another reason." "Recently, a woman patient told me she'd dreamed about a visit to the butcher's in the Markgraf Platz, that's where they have the market." "The meat market, she called it." "But it was shut in her dream." "Of course, the phrase, the meat market is open, has a secondary meaning or implication." "Naturally, I did not oblige her." "My meat market remained shut." "In other words, women come to me in order to retrieve the penis they have found so distressingly missing in childhood." "Couldn't you have spared her that?" "Forgive me, Baroness." "I've never met a creature so afraid of his own heart." "How can you be a doctor if you're not a man?" "Come, can't you see how feminine you are?" "I'll attend you in the morning." "Ah!" "Ah." "Aah!" "Ogh!" "Ogh!" "Ogh!" "Ogh!" "You not only despise your patients, you hate those who try to come near you." "Why?" "Because you're afraid to know yourself, your fears, your anger." "Manfred." "Manfred!" "Rescue me." "Don't." "Don't." "Someone will see." "Have you always been so dependent on people?" "You make it very difficult." "The way you stare at me in the house, in the corridors," "at meal times." "I know your secret." "You're a voyeur." "You should be in bed, Herr Professor." "I've paid." "Now please." "A manuscript." "Hm." "When I was 19, here in En...gland," "I decided to call myself Sigmund." "Sigismund is a stupid name." "I'll take it." " I've lost a book." " Fraulein Anna told me." " Yes." " Have you looked in the library?" "It...came from the library." " Where are my books?" " Papa, don't you remember?" "You donated them to the institute in Zurich." "Fraulein Freud, your brother Martin smuggled them into Switzerland, illegally." "They must return to their proper owners." "Their proper owners?" "These are my books." "Which you will not be taking with you." "They are to return to your publishers, to the Verlag to be destroyed." "This is perfectly ridiculous." "The Verlag know my wishes." "We own the Verlag, Herr Freud." "I understand you owe your publishers 32 thousand schilling." "Please sign here." "Once you've paid, you may leave Austria." "I owe them nothing!" "Are you aware that your men have ransacked this apartment and broken into the safe?" "They have stolen our money, six thousand schilling, our entire savings." "Sign the paper." "And the exit visa?" "Heil Hitler." "I think it would be better to die." "Why?" "Because they want us to?" "Do you think I want to leave here?" "It's for you." "You know, I think we are witnessing a certain improvement in human affairs." "They burn my books." "Once, they would have burned me." "So you forgive them?" "They speak for civilization." "Haven't we earned them?" "It was in the library." "I could have sworn on earth that we'd sold it." "Shall I read to you?" "Would you rather sleep now?" "Is this the place?" ""Akhenaten and the Court?" ""In changing his name to Akhenaten," ""beloved of the sun disc," ""Amenhotep drew his subject's attention," ""not merely to religious innovations," ""but also to a profound social and political transformation of the ruler's status."" "No, no, no, no, no." "Surely the important thing about the man was not that he scratched out the inscriptions." "He rescued Egypt from its impossibly cluttered theology." "He was the first true monotheist." "Every Pharaoh erased his father's name to reinvest the monuments with ritual significance." "It was perfectly usual." "It was not usual!" "How can you ignore the meaning of it?" "All he erased, Herr Professor, was a title," "Amon, the sun as a source of being." "He was challenging a tradition, not a man, to break the power of solar worship." " It was a ritual act." " It was an act of parricide!" "No, I say." "Just like a woman." "Contradict him and he faints." "Yes, I spoke to him." "Why not?" "Am I to have no friends at all?" "Now I know what you want." "You waited, you waited... and you chose him." "How sweet it must be to die." "I'll leave this here." "Take it." "Please... call Dr. Schur." "To be so old... and still afraid." "Did you know Johannes Merck, the founder of this treasure house," "was Goethe's model for Mephisto?" "Hm." "I shan't be here when you return." "Don't talk nonsense." "You know it as well as I do." "There have been days when I hoped you would understand and not force me to suffer longer than was necessary." "Perhaps..." "As well today as any other day." "No." "Herr Professor?" "Morphine." "Two centigrams." "Is that all?" "Thank you." "I knew you wouldn't fail me." "Be..." "Be so kind... to remove the net." "The flies can have their victim now." "One moment." "No need to stay." "Well then?" "It seems a shabby sort of place to me." "As it did to them, no doubt." "But it's still here." "The fountainhead." "Proud as I am to introduce our speaker here today," "I am no less glad of the opportunity to recall my own student days under Professor Meynert of Vienna." "I remember well how, at the same laboratory bench, there were four men working together." "My dear friend, Allen Starr of Columbia University," "Anton, later of Halle, myself and a fourth man." "Somehow, I forget his name, er, who he was this, er, this fourth man." ""Who solved the riddle of the sphinx" ""and was a man most mighty."" "Thank you." "Should I fetch the frau, Professor?" "Tell Anna... about our talk." "Frightened all my life." "And now it's eas... easy." "The body is as malleable as a dream, Sigi." "That's what we're made of." "See?" "Nothing but earth."
