Scandal at the Atlantic-Hotel
Mrs. Leonard phoned me yesterday,
her son should be back by tomorrow.
I want you to drive over there
and invite the young man to dinner.
Tell him to put on some nice clothes
Emil!
Did you hear me? Yes, of course Emma.
I think you really should be more concerned about your daughters future!
Yes, but there's no need to shout like that
Perhaps she won't even fancy him!
I didn't fancy you back then myself,
and look how happy we've become!
Emil?
Aren't we happy together?
What's the matter? I didn't say a word. - Alright.
Good morning!
Come my darling
Good morning, child!
I am so hungry!
Thanks!
A letter, for me?
Listen up, my child:
Young Mr. Leonard will join us for dinner tomorrow
And mother thinks you should be nice to him.
I didn't say that!
Mummy!
Listen to this:
Tini is getting married!
No! Whom?
Some director named Roland..
Do you now agree how good it was that I bought a new dress recently.
But Eva, you don't seriously think you can go to Budapest just for the wedding?
Why shouldn't she?
Emil, I want you to stay out of this!
I know what I want!
Yes, yes.. Of course, me too!
Tini is an actress, so she's no good company for our daughter
You know - They've been best friends at school!
Oh mother, I haven't been in Budapest for such a long time!
But you can't travel there all alone.
Why not?
Emma.. Somehow I think you are right
She really won't be able to drive to Budapest alone..
So I'll accompany her!
You know what, Emil?
In that case I'd rather let her go alone
I'm traveling to Budapest!
Good afternoon!
Is Mrs. Meller at home?
Yes, she is here, but she wishes not to be disturbed-
My luggage goes upstairs!
Come in!
Eva! What a nice surprise!
I came to congratulate you! No, no, no..
Wait till after the wedding!
Are you so superstitious? -A bit.
Come
Have a seat
Don't be silly! The wedding date is already set.
Yes, but it's not the first wedding date. - So what?
Everytime 'something important' came up
More important?
A bridegroom-to-be has nothing more important to do
than to marry!
I have to agree
Ease up! This time the wedding won't be delayed
After all he can't expect me to come to Budapest for nothing
Good afternoon, director!
Good afternoon, dear Sophie.
There you go
Would you excuse me for a couple of minutes?
Later I will introduce him to you.
Certainly!
He's such a swell gentleman!
She's ready to see you now. - Yes
I'm so glad to see you!
Darling!
You're my one and only love!
You...
I forbid you to always instruct me what to do!
I'm not free on Wednesday!
But why? You always find a new excuse!
I refuse to tolerate this behaviour!
I won't put up with this any longer!
You won't terrorize me any longer!
I can't do it on Wednesday! I've told you that a hundred times
No, forget it! That's it!
Yes? Am I speaking to glaziermaster Schulze?
This is Mrs. Tini Mellers residence
Please send over Karl..
It's that time again.
Yes. Alright.
And I wanted you to meet him so bad!
I think I know him by now..
Did you hear us?
No... nothing.
Nothing? - Not a word
He doesn't want to marry me anymore!
No. That he didn't say..
He just said, he hasn't got time on Wednesday
That's what he says since two years!
Calm down, Tini
I can't take this!
I already invited my parents to the wedding!
I can't take it!
Don't talk such nonsense!
Calm down!
What am I supposed to do..
I know! I'll talk to him!
He stays at the Hotel-Atlantic
Excuse me, sir! Are you the manager of Mr. Murray?
Yes. Why do you ask?
I waited a long time for the opportunity to meet you personally.
The pleasure is all mine.
I have a huge favor to ask..
but only if I'm not disturbing you too much...
Impossible, such an enchanting Lady
May I ask you for an autograph?
Certainly my lady... with pleasure!
No my dear!
Not yours... - From whom then?
From Mr. Murray
Stop bothering me! Alright?
But?
How ruthless! - But, but...
Yes, that's done now put the phone down.
Here are my documents, put them in the safe - Into your safe?
No put them into my neighbors safe. These are MY DOCUMENTS
Yes, of course
Don't run away!
You need to get us another piano for our room - Why's that?
Mr. Murray won't practise on that piano. - Yes? Why not?
A C-sharp is missing!
A C-sharp is missing? - Exactly!
Perhaps a former guest took it
A guest might have took the c-sharp with him?
It's not unheard of.. For God's sake!
Recently we had a guest who even took - The Blanket!
Blanket?
Give me back my documents!
Excuse me, do you happen to have a travel agency here? - Sadly no.
How displeasing! - One moment sir, excuse me..
Now where do you want to go? - I don't know.. Monte Carlo, Stockholm or Görlitz.
Pardon me, but you must know where you want to travel before you can arrange it
You're right... Monte Carlo. - You're sure?
Yes - Because when I'm around you don't need a travel agency!
Give me a piece of paper... You'll be amazed!
Here we go: Departure - South Station
20:03
Venice - 13:46
No need for a travel agency!
Milan on the second day at 17:45 - and you will arrive on the second day..
at 06:20 in Monte Carlo!
When I'm around, no need for travel agency Thanks a lot! Have a good trip!
Tell me, who's the crazy guy who plays piano in his room the whole day?
The world famous pianist Murray
Ah, Murray!
Even if he is the most famous pianist in the world, he should respect
his fellow man and must stop tinkeling around on his piano the whole day
You can relay that to him!
Where were we? Let's see.. Departure 20:03, Venice-
Nice wasn't it?
Wonderful! Magnificent! - Why don't you play that Viennese Waltz now?
No, no, no! Now is the right time to smoke. There you go!
Thanks a lot, but I don't smoke. The lady doesn't smoke?
Why so formal all of a sudden?
Excuse me, I forgot, we are already acquainted.
Hello!
Since when are we acquainted with each other?
Can't you remember... the first time you visited Budapest.
Ah, of course... We've been together... where was it somewhere up high in..
or down there... what's the name again... Schwabenberg? - No!
We've been on the Margareth's Island together - Right, that's what I said:
on Margareth's Islands!
Please play the Waltz, the one you composed!
No way! That's out of the question,
If my manager finds out I'll be in trouble
Why are you so afraid of your manager?
I'm not afraid of him! But he is completely right!
If he wouldn't watch out for me, I'd play my hit songs the whole day!
I composed this little tune
just for you alone
It happened during a velvet
summer's night
You appeared to me in my dreams
where I was allowed to
kiss your sweet lips
the whole night long
I am sure
this miracle is going to happen
And one day you will stand in front of me
And you will be very close to me
And you will stay forever with me
Only then will my life
be sweet!
Tell me... When will you start growing up?
Why?
You should practice 16 hours a day! - Aha!
And stop playing those pop songs.
That's what I wanted to tell you, Mr. Murray
The ladies must leave immediately!
What ladies? - "What ladies", please!
Get moving! You're all going home!
Go, go ,go!
Hurry up!
Hello, hello! One moment please...
Mr. Murray!
Please!
You get into the Wintergarten,
in two minutes I'll be with you!
Aren't you supposed to practice?
I'll take care of that! I'll see you there.
Goodbye..
How can I help you?
May I speak with director Roland?
The director is in his room. Thanks
Where can I find the house telephone? Over there, please.
Hey, hey, hey... - Oh, excuse me.
What's going on here?
Yes, sweety - one moment!
This is outrageous!
This is unheard of.
Meastro! - Yes, please? Aren't you the famous Mr. Murray?
That's me! How can I help you? May I ask you for an autograph?
Naturally! It's my pleasure!
Perhaps you can add a few charming words...
...Dolly!
Who - who is dolly?
Me...!
Please!
One more!
Hello? Yes!
Well, how can I help you?
Listen up Mr. Roland... Tini is my best friend...
Yes...
No, no! That's not right Mister.
Don't you see? The poor girl
already invited her parents to the wedding! Me too!
What was that?
How dare you speak to me like that!
I speak as it pleases me!
I didn't ask you for your opinion, did I?
Perhaps not but listen: Tinis opinion is important!
What's the matter here?
I've been waiting for half an hour!
At least be so kind and take off your hat when you're talking to a lady!
Alright!
That I can do.
There's one thing I have to tell you!
Pardon me..
I don't want to hear from Tini ever again!
What?
You don't want to hear from her?
Be ashamed of yourself!
Hm? If she would come here and beg my forgiveness, I might..
Hello! What? Hello?
Thanks so much, that will do!
For me too. See you around, dolly!
Goodbye
One second please, yes right..
Please tell me! In which room does Mr. Roland stay? - Who's asking?
I just need to know where he stays... Well than I am sorry miss,
But you're lucky, here he comes.
The gentleman with the walking stick? That's right!
Thanks!
Excuse me Mr, you forgot your walking stick
Ah, my cane! Thanks a lot, that's very kind of you
Pardon me, Mister!
Don't think you can get away that easy!
First you promise a girl to marry her and then you drop her just like that
That's pure meanness!
But excuse me.. I never promised to marry anyone.
What?
And now you're lying?
That's all that I wanted to say to you!
Calm down everybody! - This woman needs to get arrested!
Call the police! - No, no, no! Don't call the police!
What happend? - We must call the police!
No, that's of no concern to the police! - But you don't even know what happend
I know nothing, but the fat one here wants to call the police!
That's right! We have to call the police!
Get in your room, I will take care of everything!
Listen here:
If you are looking for an eye witness: Here I am, I saw everything!
From A-Z! You saw everything? - Yes I did!
Make some room, there's nothing to see here!
Please, take a seat!
Now tell me, what happened?
I've seen a lot of things!
But a lady loosing herself like that..
What did this lady do?
She wanted to do the same thing to me. - With you? - Yes!
In the telephone booth
What was it that she was doing?
Oh, I know what they are all about!
Now tell me, what did she do? - But I am telling you:
The same thing she wanted to do to me! - I don't care about that!
Just tell me, what did she do to Murray? But I am telling you - she slapped him!
Murray got slapped in the face? - Yes, in the face
From a lady? From a lady..
A real slap in the face? - A real slap..
And you have witnessed that? - I've seen it with my own eyes!
Now tell me, how is that your business?
Why do you meddle in other peoples affairs? Excuse.. SHUT UP!
One should never have to deal with fat people..
What a scandal!
You've got to explain one thing to me: How did you get down into the hall so quickly?
Just ten minutes ago, you were here practising
I must have really hurried - Yes, sure.
Tell me: Who's the girl? - I don't know!
I've never seen.. - What? You don't know her? - No!
You let strange woman slap you in the face?
Perhaps I do know her.. Aha! Perhaps?
You're the one to blame! - What me? - You with your principle:
"Another city - Another Girl" - That is a very good principle!
An artist like you isn't capable of binding himself to just one woman.
In every city a new acquaintance!
In every city a new girl!
In every city a slap in the face..
Well that's it, Mr. Stangl!
Mr. Murray? - No more of your principles!
Mr. Murray, don't get upset.
Listen to me..
What is that?
I am practising.
I AM PRACTICING!
Don't you like that?
Do you not like that, Mr Stangl?
Tini, I have to say - he is a handsome guy
Isn't he?
And when he came down, I approached him..
Go on!
And..
then I slapped him... in the face.
You slapped him?
You came to Budapest to beat up my fiancé?
No, that's not why I came..
but I thought..
..now that I'm here...
Goodbye
Director Roland is here...
I knew it! A slap in the face at the right time works like a wonder!
Oh my darling!
Darling!
What would I do without you?
You...
Does it still hurt?
What?
Your cheek
No, I used a brand new razorblade.
Darling?
My friend wants to appologize to you
But what for? It was nothing worth mentioning
Just wait a moment, I'll call her in - Let it be! - Eva!
Don't be childish now and apologize to each other
Don't you remember him anymore?
He's my fiancé!
Who did I slap in the hotel then?
Another one of those.. great inventions
Tell me, Mr. Stangl.. - What?
How do you tie your tie?
Why should I tie it? It's tied already
Telephone!
Yes! I'm coming..
Hello?
Who? Ah.. the editor.. what an honor..
It's the press!
Yes, I'm back! What can I do for you?
Yes of course, I'd love to! But not now, we have a concert in any minute
I just wanted to know how many times you have been slapped
What do you mean by 'how many'? Not one!
No, not even one slap in the face!
Why should anybody slap me? I didn't do anything!
No! ... Not once!
I swear to you: I haven't been slapped since my childhood has passed
On that occasion? Yes...but not in the face!
Stangl..
This is Mr. Stangl speaking,
Mr. Murrays manager.
Aha... the manager?
Mr. Stangl, it's not hard to believe that you didn't get slapped that day
Yes? But that's not true either..
Had I come down the stairs a moment earlier she would have hit me too!
Too!
NO!
No sir, nobody got slapped that day!
No one got slapped at all!
No! Mr....?
Hello?
I'm so stupid!
The slap that never happend..
So who was that man? - He's called Mr. Murray!
The famous pianist? Yes, he stays at room 324
How embarrassing!
He didn't do anything wrong..
You should have seen how he was standing there..
He didn't move at all..
All he did was to smile shyly..
As if he was to one who should appologize to me!
Why didn't he fight back at all?
Or at least complain
But he choose not to say a word
I will never forget his face!
I have to go see him and apologize!
Goodbye - I wish you luck!
Hello
Good evening
Good evening!
Oh my little melody
Sweetest melody
To you my whole sympathy belongs
It's clear that thus my heart..
feels this way for you
Little tune
You have been arranged for me
I composed this little tune just for you alone
It happened during a velvet summer's night
You appeared to me-
Lucky jacket, I feel miserable
because I cling to him the same as you
See: You hang just on his outside
But me, I long for him deep inside of me
Pants he always sits just with you
Pants, why doesn't he sit with me?
Instead of pinching me
his shoes pinch him
Old shoe!
Tell him from me:
Everyone can be a little foolish sometimes
Just some silly foolishness
That's the way it has been..
is.. and will be!
Don't revenge yourself with silence
It has just been a little foolishness
That's the way it has been..is.. and will be!
Even if it's true that I have hurt you - now please come back to me
So I can..
start caressing you..
and maybe even more!
Everyone can be a little foolish sometimes
Just some silly foolishness
That's the way it has been..it is-
My dear Mr. Stangl, what beautiful music are we going to hear today?
Beethoven!
Yes, Baroness! We primarily play Beethoven
Tell me: Who is that lady?
That's one of my ancestors
She doesn't look like you
Yes, though she was a famous woman
What did she do?
Who knows
Who knows - with a woman!
She buried her husband alive!
Buried alive? Now I start to see why she's famous
This one also buried her husband alive?
No! She didn't! - So she did and she didn't?
That one I would have buried alive myself!
Where is the lady? She's waiting for you at the wardrobe
I'll be right back..
When you start to think about it, this burying alive business is barbaric
You know - there are woman who-
Just today there was this little lady at the hotel we stay in
You know what Murray looks like - handsome tall man and this little lady-
Yes?
Barbaric! The burying alive isn't that bad after all..
That way you wont get rid of her! Why not?
This lady for example until this day appears occasionally in this mansion
Who appears? Her ghost of course!
Ah, so you're superstitious? Not at all!
She really appears! - When does she appear?
At the witching hour, at midnight!
At midnight she appears you say?
Stangl, I need to talk to you urgently!
Do excuse me, I have to look after my other guests as well
Stangl - That woman, she's here again
What?
She returned! She ŕppeared already?
She's right on time! 12 o'clock! Have you seen her ghost?
Are you going mad? The woman from the hotel - she's here!
So get out there and talk to her! Me? Why don't talk you to her?
So she can slap me again? And it's alright if I get slapped?
Stop arguing and get going!
Come here! Should I go or not?
I don't want any more scandals! I don't cause scandals, Mr. Murray
If you get to hear a loud bang - that means I got slapped too..
Good evening!
You want to speak to Mr. Murray?
I am his manager! Nice to meet you
What do you want from him?
I'm looking for him because..
you know.. today in the hotel..
What happend is in the past, there is nothing we can do about it now
Perhaps Mr. Murray even deserved it
He deserved it? Yes, he says so himself!
He says he deserved it? Of course my lady
I told him a hundred times it can't work - another city - another girl!
So you say Mr. Murray thinks he abandoned me..
and thats why I..
Ain't that right?
Yes.. It is.
See, I know about everything!
You are a smart girl,
Murray is not the right man for you. Let him go!
You are right, of course
Finally.. - Everything alright?
Goodbye, little lady!
I don't get it!
Allow me... to introduce to you Paul Murray
- the world famous piano virtuoso
It's a pleasure to meet you
His excellence came here just to hear you play! - Yes, that's true!
Everything in order?
I had a talk with her
Such a little skinny lady!
How dare you interrupt me, when I talk to his excellence
He's an aristocrat? Of course he is. Now what's the matter?
Is she gone? - When I'm in control I get things done
So she is gone? Yes, I simply told her loud and clear..
Stangl, I just want to know if she's gone
So I said, you have to-
And what did she say?
Good evening!
She promised me that she'll be gone..
I hope you're not angry that I came back
Oh no, on the contrary, I am very pleased to see you again
To be honest I must say, that I was
very saddend by what your secretary had to say
My secretary? Yes! What did my secretary tell you then?
He said that you couldn't remember me!
He said, that I couldn't remember you anymore?
How come you talk such nonsense?
On the contrary.. I can remember you very well!
I even thought about you frequently
I'd love to talk to you in private..
but..
Don't do that, stupid!
You know, Mrs. ...?
Back then I had to leave Budapest on an urgent matter
I intended to write you, but I must have lost your adress
You lost it? Yes, I lost it..
But I still remember that I wrote your adress in my notebook..
bach then, when we were together in... in...
Where was it again, that we have met, Mrs. ... ?
Everywhere!
Everywhere? Yes I know, of course. We have been everywhere!
First we were at the ...
Margareth's Island
Yes, there we have been! And later we went to-
Mount Schwaben Yes, exactly!
You see? I can remember everything!
Mrs. ...?
Mrs. Eva!
You even remember my name?
Of course I do Mrs. Eva
I already told you that Mr. Stangl is a liar!
I bet you can't even imagine how often this guy lies
Yes, indeed!
I even can't imagine why people lie at all..
Right..
Are you still staying in the same room as back then?
Yes, I always stay there when I'm in Budapest
324 ? Yes, 324
That room is very nice. I remember...
that the piano stood a little too far away from the window back then.
And the C-sharp was missing!
And it's still missing!
You can still remember all that? - Of course
And that picture over the bed..
the stilleben with the three clouds.. It doesn't belong into a bedroom!
I totally agree, that really doesn't belong in a bedroom
Eva!
There's only one solution: Throw it out! - The picture?
No! Mr. Stangl, that big fat liar!
Ah, but you are very late this evening. The concert is about to begin!
Murray is performing! Murray?
He's such a great artist! A great artist? Well...
Today he got slapped by a lady that was this small, here in this hotel
I can't believe you still remember this waltz
How couldn't I? You wrote that waltz for me!
For you? Of course for me!
For me only
Ain't that true?
But of course, for you! For you alone!
I composed this little tune just for you alone
It happened during a velvet summer's night
You appeared to me in my dreams
where I was allowed to
kiss your sweet lips
I am sure this miracle is going to happen
And one day you will stand in front of me
And you will be very close to me
And you will stay forever with me
Only then will my life
be sweet!
Oh my little melody
Sweetest melody
To you my whole sympathy belongs
It's clear that thus my heart..
feels this way for you
Little tune
You have been arranged for me
I composed this little tune for you alone
Honestly!
It happened during a velvet summer's night
Really?
You appeared to me in my dreams
where I was allowed
to kiss your lips oh so sweet
I am sure this miracle is going to happen
What miracle?
And one day you will stand in front of me
And you will be very close to me
And you will stay forever with me
Only then will my life
be sweet!
I've got to leave you now, Eva my concert is about to start
You'll wait for me? Then we will go out together
Yes, but I would love to hear you play
But of course you can come in and listen! I'll see you later..
That one is a very dangerous person!
You'll see Baroness..
If she catches Murray again, there'll be a tremendous scandal!
For heavens sake! And that in my house!
Look! There she is!
Johann!
Come here, please!
Mr. Murray? - Yes, what is it? No need to worry anymore..
I took care of everything!
What are you talking about?- The lady from the hotel, she's been here again!
I arranged to get her kicked out!
But why?
Isn't it obvious? The Baroness can't welcome people like her in her mansion!
Is that so?
I am very sorry, but you must leave this estate immediately!
But Mr. Murray invited my by himself!
Please, come with me! - Pardon me, but I am not allowed to let this lady enter
This has got to be a misunderstanding - It's no misunderstanding!
The Baroness instructed me to do so
Bring me my coat and my hat!
Excellence?
Are you an admirer of Beethoven? - Oh! Yes, I am!
Then you will enjoy this evening very much!
How incredible rude!
But you've got to get back, they are expecting you!
The people will be furious
But I was enraged too, weren't you?
I was! - You see? So let's go... but where to?
I'm heading home. - Home?
If you promise me, that we will make a little detour..
I'd be happy to acompany you!
There's no need to get anxious, Mr. Murray will be here any moment!
His excellence is getting impatient, this is so embarrassing!
Should I get on stage?
Why not? You could give a little lecture on Beethoven.
No, leave that to me.. I know what the people want!
I know what I'm doing
Dear listeners!
I must ask you for your forgiveness, but Mr. Murray is a little behind schedule
But I'll make sure you wont miss out anything!
Allow me to perform for you a few magic tricks
This is no trickery
Empty sleeves!
No preparation, no double bottom!
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing
She's scared..
Anyway, this is my little magic bag..
And that's an egg, a real natural egg!
I'll put the egg right here
It's not here - and it's not there either
And now let me explain you how-
What's taking you so long?
Do you enjoy seeing things like that? On the contrary, I am disgusted by it!
So..
This is where I live.. Goodbye!
How strange, that those two aren't ashamed of themselves
Right here, out in the open..
Good night!
I'd understand if if they were kissing underneath a big archway like this..
One has to say, these old houses are much more convenient
You're right and there much prettier too. It's the old style!
Right here one could take shelter, in case it was raining..
But it isn't raining at all! - No, not yet..
But it could start any minute!
I suppose you're right
but only when it's summer! Of course, just in the summer,
In the winter it is snowing
Yes, it snows then
Good night!
Tini!
What's going on? Let me sleep! - No, I wont let you sleep
And I was having such a wonderful dream! - Me too..
I dreamt something nice as well..
I really did!
Have you been with him? - Yes, even though he's been very bold
He was bold? - He certainly was..
Don't you think it is bold, when a man wants to kiss a girl in an open archway?
He wanted to kiss you?
What do you think about that?
How do you know that he wanted to kiss you?
If he didn't want to, he wouldn't have kissed me
And what about you?
I kissed him back! Good night
Give me my keys!
Good evening!
Are you Mr. Murray? - Yes!
Mr. Murray I've got to tell you something
I've been looking for you for hours, about this embarrassing matter
What are you talking about?
Well.. I'm talking about the slap in the face, you received
But why is that embarrassing to you?
I've got to confess..
You got slapped by mistake
Let me tell you something too: It surely wasn't a mistake!
The slap was intended for me
You?
And you think that this can really be true?
Believe me, it is just the way I told you
And the girl hasn't been in Budapast for over two years?
She arrived just yesterday
Incredible..
How come she knew exactly how my room looked?
And the picture above my bed!
That's because, she was there and wanted to apologize, but you weren't home
So it was all a deception!
Anyway... I've got to thank you!
Anytime! - Anytime? Goodbye!
Eat something!
I can't. I couldn't swallow a tiny bite!
What am I supposed to do now?
Tini, I will tell him the whole truth today!
There's enough time for that later on
You think so?
Lies have accomplished so many happy marriages..
and truth teared so many apart.. Let it be for now!
Tini.. do you think that he..
loves me?
Tell me, who did he kiss yesterday?
Me! - So you see?
I see
How dreadful!
Good publicity in the press today! - I'd say so too..
Mr. Murray? I know who that girl was!
I acquired some information from a detective agency!
Yes, she's a very decent girl from a respectable family..
Now listen to this- - Did I ask you to do that?
Now but I just thought.. Stop this nonsense!
You will never be able to understand me completely
Why did that girl lie to me?
I've got no idea! - Did I ask you?
Just now, you've asked me! - Be quiet!
You're always displeased by me!
Who took care of the situation at the hotel.. Me!
If it weren't for my magic bag and egg..
Put away your magic back this instance, or else something terrible might happen
Did you arrange everything I told you to?
Here's the bill..
I even got 10% off!
That's not important! - But for me it is!
A morning dress
180 schilling
No, only 162 schilling - 10 percent off!
Now show me the shoes!
One pair of sandals.. Size 40?
But I elaborately told you that I needed a size 36!
Yes but those were 10 percent cheaper!
You're at your best today..
Did you send away the letter? Mr. Murray, let me-
Stop it! - Excuse me? Stop this elevator immediatly!
But you said third floor.. - Never mind that.. I said stop!
Mr. Murray why don't you talk to the people from the press
I can't - Why? I am expecting a visit!
Tell the people, that I am very sorry, that the concert had to be canceled
And if the want to know the reason?
Then tell them I got sick!
But I'm a terrible liar! - It's no lie! I really am sick
What's wrong with you? - I've got a belly ache
Stick out your tongue!
But it looks normal..
No, I am such a terrible liar- - Stangl.. get going!
I know...I'll show them my tongue!
It's very endearing that you could come..
No need to get excited, gentlemen. Murray is well acquainted with that lady
This room hasn't changed a bit. Don't you think so too?
Everything looks exactly look it did one year ago..
when we met for the first time!
Yes, very nice...
Go ahead..
Eva, I've got to tell you something:
Yesterday evening I was very very happy
Me too!
I'm happy even now
I've got to confess to you..
But don't get mad at me!
Yesterday evening, when we met, at first I didn't recognize you at all..
At first I couldn't remember at all where I have seen you before
And then? Then when I returned to this room I suddenly remembered everything!
Then I knew exactly where I knew you from!
You think so?
How could I forget this wonderful afternoon, that I spend with you here
right in this room
It all came back to me
It was a nice afternoon wasn't it?
Yes, sure, but let's not talk about back then..
Let's talk about yesterday instead
You came up to my room to ask me for an autograph
Then you stayed for tea
And then you nestled up against me so tenderly
And suddenly you hugged and kissed me!
At first I was so frightend!
Me too..
And in the evening..
after my concert..
You came to visit me again
I came back?
I came back to you at night? - Don't you remember that?
Then it must be true
And then you said to me:
What are you doing? - I'm leaving!
Yes, but why?
Because that woman..
that you talk about
Who came here for an autograph..
and who stayed afterwards..
and even came back in the evening..
Is not me!
But, Eva! How can you say something like that?
Here's proof - you forgot your sandals here that night!
You see?
That lady must have had very large feet..
Aren't these your sandals?
A size 40?
What a nerve!
It wasn't anything like that..
Eva wait..
Let's just pretend the sandals were yours
And that is for you!
As I said.. It wasn't anything like that..
Not again?
Good evening, gentlemen...
Everyone can be a little foolish sometimes
Just some silly foolishness
That's the way it always has been..
The way it is.. and will be!
Don't revenge yourself with silence
It really regret my foolishness
That's the way it has been..is.. and will be!
Even if it's true that I have hurt you
now please come back to me
So I can
start caressing you
and maybe even more!
Everyone can be a little foolish sometimes
just a little foolish
That's the way it has been..is.. and will be!
Believe me, gracious lady, I always told Mr. Murray
There's no point in traveling around the globe alone
For what is the most beautiful thing on earth?
Marriage!
Nevertheless it is an outrage that Eva didn't tell us anything about it!
Well.. that's my daughter!
Don't start again!
What am I starting? I didn't say anything..
Of course, you're at it again!
As I said - the most beautiful thing on earth... Marriage!
Are you married? - No..
I see
Please, Mr. Stangl have some..
Thanks a lot! An egg..
As it happens, I've got my magic sack with me!
One moment please... Here is the egg!
I just take the egg and put it in here... And then-
You?
What are you doing here? Oh no! She's got a horsewhip now..
I came to bring you a small bill
A bill? - Yes, there you go
That means those sandals from yesterday- - I'm the one who bought them!
A size 40..
Stangl, you can't even imagine how much this girl loves me!
Watch it, Paul!
Must everyone know?
Not at all!
The End
