"I mean, look, it's very flat here not much hips, and here.... lt's a little early in the day for this sort of thing, isn't it?" "Maybe you just don't sleep with girls." "You don't." "Well, listen, we're practically living together, so if you only like boys I mean, I wouldn't dream of pestering you." "Well, do you sleep with girls, or don't you?" "You don't ask questions like that." "I do." "All right." "If you insist." "I do not sleep with girls." "Let me be absolutely accurate." "I've gone through the motions of sleeping with girls exactly three times." "All of them disastrous." "The word for my sex life now is "nil," or as you Americans would say "plenty of nuttin"'!" "All right?" "Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" "Look, Brian." "You're absolutely my best friend." "And friends are much harder to find than lovers."

"I had a letter of introduction from England." "They invited me for coffee." "Invited you for coffee?" "Landauers are enormous rich Jews." "Stinking rich, it seems." "Good." "I shall make a pass after her." "What if she's...fat and hideous?" "Perhaps the father will take a liking from me and give me a job." "If I marry her, a partnership perhaps." "I'm not prejudiced." "Hello." "You said you wouldn't be back until 4:00." "I must have a drink this instant." "The new pupil's due at any moment." "Can't the drink wait?" "Oh, God, only gin." "Sally, please!" "Three marks an hour. I need it." "We need it." "All I need is a drink!" "She's young and very strictly brought up." "Look, I may have my tiny faults but I'm really not planning to white slave her to Latin America." "Whose room is this, anyhow?" "Sally, in all fairness" "Fairness?" "Who cares about fairness?" "Honestly." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Excuse me." "How fat?" "How fat?" "I think the weather will be fine, isn't it true, Miss Landauer?" "Fraulein Landauer." "Come in." "Good afternoon, Fraulein Landauer." "Good afternoon." "How nice to see you again." "lt's nice to see you again." "It is good, you have others." "So, we shall make a party for speaking English, yes?" "Well, actually, my friends were just leaving." "No, I'm delighted to stay, Brian." "Sally, you have this appointment, don't you?" "I'll cancel it. I love parties." "Good, this is splendid for the practicing." "You will introduce me, please." "Yes, of course." "Herr Wendel, Fraulein Landauer." "lt is a pleasure, miss." "No, no, English conversation." "I am so charmed, dearest miss." "And...and this this is Miss Sally Bowles." "How do you do?" "Bobby, a Landauer in my house." "Last summer when I...." "You are all healthy, I hope." "I have had a cold, but it is better now." "Good." "How sad." "A cold from the nose is most aggravating." "This was a cold of the bosom, not of the nose." "All the plegm vas here." "All the what?" "Ze plegm...zat comes in the tubes." "I think I'm gonna be sick." "Phlegm. "Ph" is always pronounced as "f", and you don't sound...the "g."" "Then why are they putting the "g", please?" "That's a very good question, but it's rather difficult to explain." "Try, Brian." "It's just there." "So, Mr. Professor, you do not know?" "No." "Then I'm sorry, I cannot help you." "It's most amusing." "Very amusing." "Come in." "How thoughtful of you, Fraulein Schneider." "Thank you very much." "You're most welcome, Herr Roberts." "Please." "Please, you must take a cake, dearest miss." "I'm not eating between meals." "You're not eating between meals." "I am eating between meals." "Thank you." "So much." "You're welcome." "Brian, Liebling, did I tell you?" "I saw a film the other day about syphilis." "It was too awful." "I couldn't let a man touch me for a week." "Coffee?" "is it true you can get it from kissing?" "Oh, yes." "And your king, Henry Vlll caught it from letting Cardinal Wolsey whisper in his ear." "That is not, I think, founded in fact." "But from kissing, most decidedly." "And from towels...and from cups." "And, of course, screwing." ""Screwing," please?" "Fornication." "Fornication?" "Brian, darling, what is the German word?" "I don't remember." "Oh, yes...." "Oh, no." "Bumsen." "It would be the one German word you pronounce perfectly." "Well, I ought to." "I spent the entire afternoon bumsening like mad with some ghastly old producer who promised to give me a contract." "Gin, Miss Landauer?" "Fritz is overdoing it a bit, isn't he?" "Natalia's very rich." "Fritz is very broke." "That old heel-clicking, hand-kissing routine of his isn't going to get him anywhere with her." "The only thing to do with virgins is to make a ferocious pounce." "I can't imagine anyone pouncing on Natalia." "That's why it would be so effective, darling." "You are a woman of many sexual experiences, I think." "I'll say, darling." "Ever since I was so high, men have found me irresistible." "Daddy was always worrying that...." "Yes?" "You know." "How's the gigolo campaign going?" "Terrible." "This week, already I'm giving up three dinner invitations to spend 32 marks on her." "That's quite a sacrifice." "And here is the craziness." "I like it." "Goddammit!" "What?" "I think I'm falling in love with her." "I'm so sorry." "So am I." "You assure me the English reader will find this arousing...stimulating?" "Well, I...." "Yes, I..." "I should think so." "Look, everybody." "Positively a nun's hands, aren't they?" "You look lovely, Sally." "Just lovely." "Thank you." "Well, I'm off to the Adlon to see my sexy marvelous, devastating father." "Auf wiedersehen, my darlings." "Auf wiedersehen." "Good luck." "I'm terribly sorry, but I couldn't possibly find any more of them." "Good night, and thank you so much for a delightful evening." "You're most welcome, Herr Roberts." "Good night." "Good night." "It really has been...sublime." "Thank you." "Dearest miss." "You see how she is with me?" "You see that kiss?" "You see that kiss?" "No, I..." "I was too discreet to look back." "I think I go..." "I go crazy with the frustration." "You know, I..." "I kiss and inside me comes the explosion." "But her?" "Brian, I tell you a simple fact..." "...and I'm not boosting." ""Boasting."" "The French women, the Swedish women, even the English they go wild for my kisses, but this one...." "Nothing?" "Nothing." "And I'm a crazy, love-sick fool." "Sally says you ought to pounce." "Pounce?" "Throw her on a couch or something." "To attack Natalia?" "lmpossible." "Well, Sally is rather knowledgeable in these areas." "You do what Sally says and you end up, I think, in the prison cell." "Pounce, huh?" "Pounce." "How'd it go?" "Bad?" "Sally, what is it?" "I waited at the Adlon till 10:00." "When I got back, there was this." ""Dear Sally:" ""Sorry, schedule revised at last minute." ""Writing." "Love."" "Well, these...these things do happen." "I'm sure he had a good reason." "Ten words." "Exactly." "After ten it's extra." "You see, Daddy thinks of these things." "If I had leprosy, there'd be a cable." ""Gee, kid, tough." ""Sincerely hope...nose doesn't fall off." ""Love."" "Bastard!" "I'll show him!" "I'll become a big film star." "The poor man, he tries to love me." "Perhaps he even thinks he does but the real truth is that he just doesn't care." "Maybe he's right." "Maybe I'm not worth caring about." "Maybe I am...just nothing." "Nothing." "You're a perfectly marvelous girl." "And beautiful." "No." "And talented." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "Do you really think so?" "I mean really?" "Yes, I do." "Thank you." ""Maybe this time, I'll be lucky" ""Maybe this time, he'll stay."" "Obviously those three girls were just the wrong three girls." ""Maybe this time, for the first time" ""Love won't hurry away."" "Doesn't my body drive you wild with desire?" ""He will hold me fast" ""l'll be home at last" ""Not a loser anymore" ""Like the last time And the time before." ""Everybody loves a winner" ""So nobody loves me." ""Lady peaceful, Lady happy" ""That's what I long to be." ""Well, all the odds are They're in my favor" ""Something's bound to begin."

"Tell him your lover is a gangster from Chicago." "You told him?" "l did better than that." "I just told him that I had the teeniest touch of syphilis." "Wait till he gets a load of what little old Elke's got." "Landauer?" "Ja." "I am grateful to you that you came to me from my call." "Don't be silly. I'm all agog." "Thank you." "You will eat food, please?" "Thank you." "You see, Fraulein...." "Sally." "Our acquaintance is not long, but I am choosing you because I know no other young woman who is giving her body frequently to men." "My English." "I am rending you an embarrassment?" "No, no, I'm fascinated." "Fritz Wendel has declared love for me." "At first I not taking this seriously." "He is so so formal." "And also I think so much the gigolo who hunts for the fortune." "is that what you say?" "That's what we say, all right." "Then the night before yesterday my parents are from the house und we are seated here upon my father's library sofa." "Suddenly he throws aside the formalities..." "...there is fire, there is passion." "Oh, my God..." "...he pounced!" "Please?" "He made love to you." "On my father's library sofa." "Und even for that he is showing no respect." "I am fighting, I'm calling out harsh words but then...." "May we not be frank?" "Suddenly all is...equal fire equal passion in me." "And since then, I think only of him." "Now, is this love or mere fatuation of the body?" "You with so many, as you call, "screwings" shall please tell me the truth of it." "Please." "Does it really matter, as long as you're having fun?" "How can you speak of "fun"?" "He has asked me to marry him." "Well, that's wonderful." "Why don't you?" "And say to my father that I am marrying a man who is perhaps a fortune hunter?" "And a Christian, too." "Oh, this I think is...breaking his heart." "Well, in that case then, I guess you better just forget the whole thing." "Forget Fritz?" "How am I ever forgetting Fritz?" "Look, I really have to be running along." "Don't cry." "Oh, please, don't cry." "I'm no good at all if anybody cries." "Natalia, about Fritz pouncing you see, I thought...." "l didn't think...." "How shall so grave a problem resolve itself?" "Poor thing." "You can't marry him." "You can't give him up." "I don't suppose you'd ever consider seeing him on the sly, every now...." "No, I didn't think so." "My God, it's enough to drive a girl into a convent." "Do they have Jewish nuns?" "Good day." "Good day." "Please...can you wash...?" "Excuse me, miss, I think you lost this." "What?" "l think you dropped this." "Yes, thank you." "Can you wash my clothes Monday, Tuesday?" "I'm sorry, I don't understand you." "Excuse me, may I help you?" "I want my laundry back by Tuesday."

"Just drive on, idiot!" "I told Schneider we'd be gone for at least two months, maybe more." "She cried and cried and said she'd miss us."

"Please, I do not speak of Natalia." "As bad as that?" "Bad." "Perhaps I cut myself at the throat." "Prepositions, Fritz, prepositions." ""ln the throat?"" "No, just "cut my throat."" "I assure you they're all in it together." "If all the Jews are bankers, then how can they be Communists, too?" "Subtle very subtle, Fraulein Kost." "If they can't destroy us one way they try the other." "You don't really believe that, do you?" "But you read it every day in the Volkischer Beobachter." "That ridiculous Nazi tripe!" "It is an established fact, Herr Roberts that there exists a well-organized international conspiracy of Jewish bankers and Communists." "It's also an established fact, that there exists another well-organized group, of which you're obviously a member." "The International Conspiracy of Horses' Asses." "I wish the Kaiser was back." "In those days we had order." "I expect Schneider will raise my rent after that little exhibition." "Oh, well, what the hell." "Let's get on with these prepositions." "What a black day I'm meeting that girl!" "I..." "I thought you loved her." "Love, love, who's needing verdammtes love?" "You want to hear the big joke on me?" "You want to hear it?" "I am a Jew." "So?" "To be a Jew in Germany?" "Only a fool is this, I think." "So I come to Berlin and I'm not a Jew." "How did you manage that?" "Where it says on my papers "religion" I am writing..."Protestant."" "So, the work comes." "The friends come." "The parties come." "Parties." "Whoever dreams that I shall fall in love with a Jewish girl?" "But surely that solves your problem." "All you've got to do is tell her" "Do you understand nothing?" "This girl!" "Do you know what she has done to me?" "It's terrible!" "She has turned me into an honest man." ""Oh, you're good," she says." ""A man of integrity, who will never lie to me."" "What does she do if I tell her now?" "I tell you what she does, if I tell her now." "She kicks me out into the streets." "Don't be silly!" "She'd understand." "Anyway, what have you got to lose?" "What do I lose?" "She kicks me out into the streets." "All my friends hear I'm a Jew, they kick me out into the streets." "And then, I think, comes a big Nazi with a club and bangs me on the head." "Fritz, I really think you're underestimating Natalia." "What am I doing?" "I don't like whiskey." "Look, just tell her." "No, I can't, I can't." "What a coward am I." ""l know what you're thinking." ""You wonder why I chose her" ""Out of all the ladies in the world." ""lt's just a first impression." ""What good's a first impression?" ""lf you knew her like I do" ""lt would change your point of view." ""lf you could see her through my eyes" ""You wouldn't wonder at all." ""lf you could see her through my eyes" ""l guarantee you would fall like I did." ""When we're in public together" ""l hear society moan" ""But if they could see her through my eyes" ""Maybe they'd leave us alone." ""How can I speak of her virtues" ""l don't know where to begin." ""She's clever, She's smart" ""She reads music." ""She doesn't smoke or drink gin like I do" ""Yet when we're walking together" ""They sneer if I'm holding her hand" ""But if they could see her through my eyes" ""Maybe they'd all understand." ""Why don't they leave us alone?"" "Meine Damen und Herren, mesdames et messieurs ladies und gentlemen I ask you is it a crime to fall in love?" "Can one ever choose where the heart leads us?" "All we ask is that you understand." "A little understanding." "Why can't the world live and let live?" "Live und let live." ""Oh, I understand your objection" ""l grant you the problem's not small" ""But if you could see her" ""Through my eyes" ""She wouldn't look Jewish at all."" "I'm a Jew." "Brian, anything wrong?" "Lazy that's all." "That's all?" "That's all." "Look what I found." "See?" "We must be lucky." "Will you still love me when I'm blown up like a balloon?" "Will my body drive you wild with desire?" "Sure." "Why not?" "Oh, Bri, it's fantastic, isn't it?" "Just think:" "Your life and my life solved in one fell swoop." "And all by the baby!" "I guess it's just about the most significant baby the world has ever known since Jesus." "It'll be a most strange and extraordinary baby, won't it?" "Good morning, darling." "Darling, would you mind seeing if there's a bit of brandy left?" "Put an egg in it, and we'll call it breakfast." "I suppose you wonder what on earth happened to me?" "I'm afraid we made a night of it." "Where's your fur coat?" "You did it, didn't you?" "Did what, darling?" "The abortion." "In God's name why?" "One of my whims?" "is that all you can say?" ""One of my whims?"" "What right...?" "If you wanna hit me, why don't you just hit me?" "But you wanted it." "Didn't you?" "Me and the baby." "I suppose Max Reinhardt did show up at the club." "Or was it a friend of a friend of a friend of an assistant director who said he'd try to squeeze you into the chorus line?" "That is, of course, if you if you went to bed with him." "You think that?" "Yes." "Well then, it's just as well, isn't it?" "For you, for everyone." "And, darling, would you be an angel and just let me get some sleep?" "Tell me why you did it." "What is there to say?" "You've said it all in one way or another." "Sally, please." "I have to know." "Okay." "I'm self-centered, inconsiderate and what was the third adjective?" "Oh, yes." "And I have this infantile fantasy that one day I'll amount to something as an actress." "A dinky little cottage in Cambridge?" "A playpen in the bedroom, diapers on the towel rack...." "How soon would it be before we started hating each other?" "How soon would it be before I started dashing out disgracing myself at some nearest pub?" "And how soon would it be before...?" "Before?" "Say it." "Go on!" "You might as well, now." "Forget it." "Just forget it." "I see." "I really do love you." "Yes." "Yes, I think I think you do love me." "You...you all right?" "is there anything I can do for you?" "I just think I should sleep a little while." "Oh, shit!" "Magazines?" "No." "It's a long trip." "Chocolate?" "No." "We seem to be here." "Yes." "I'd love to come down on the platform with you and wave a tiny, white handkerchief etcetera but there is that interview." "It may not amount to anything but you never know." "Shocking."
