Oh, dear!

Oh, what just happened?

- Hey! What happened here? - I don't know.

It must have happened on the street.

- Lina! - Yes, be there shortly.

Don't interrupt me. I was talking.

Pfalzburg 4024.

What's going on? They're shooting around.

Shooting? You must have been dreaming.

No, young lady. I wasn't talking to you.

Go back to sleep!

No, young lady. That wasn't meant for you.

I mean Pfalzburg 5054.

Always busy.

So... I'm supposed to go to sleep?

There's all this noise from shooting.

Come on. Here we go.

When will I see you again, Karl?

Call me.

Actually, I'll call you.

Alright, let's go.

Hello, fine lady.

Hey, old buddy, old pal. Not at work today either?

Are you crazy? Can't you see I'm deathly ill?

Oh, God. Oh, God.

- Hello, Mrs. Weber. - Hello, Mr. Winkler.

- Any mail come in for me? - No.

- Did anyone call? - No.

- Hella's not there yet? - She's not here yet, Mr. Winkler.

Can you get my bath ready for me?

Lina!

I can't take it anymore.

She gets deafer by the day.

Could you give me a cigarette?

- No, Baron. Unfortunately not. Sorry. - Merci.

- Please, come. - What's wrong?

- Well, what's wrong? - Something happened to me.

Bootz, could you give me a cigarette?

- There are a few over there. - Thank you.

So, what's going on with you this time?

Did you kill somebody?

It made a terrible noise.

Come take a look.

I didn't mean to.

Well, alright...

- Is this damn thing broken again? - Yes.

It's alright.

Wait a second.

You know...

Yesterday, I had to take out the sofa from room 7 yet again.

You always have to do that.

Two girls moved in there.

Two beautiful girls.

Two sisters.

Two dancers.

But they are both unapproachable. Like queens.

Like queens.

There, it's working again.

- Thank you so much, Mr. Winkler. - Quiet.

I can't even understand my own language.

Oh, you. Where have you been?

Do you think only you appear in Berlin?

Listen, I cooked up a new MC speech.

It's amazing. You have to hear it. Come with me.

Your bath is ready.

- Good. - Huh?

That's good.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is Mr. Winkler already here? - He's bathing now.

Hello, Peter. I'm here.

- Yes, I'm almost done. - Great.

- Hello, Mrs. Weber. - Hello, Hella.

Could you hand me the butter tin?

But don't put any more smelly cheese in there.

If we go out, we won't eat any smelly cheese.

Hopefully, he doesn't want to go to the movies.

Do you know if he has tickets?

I need to go home first.

You could go home twice before it's 9 pm.

Mrs. Weber, I had a new dress made.

It's so beautiful.

It is tight up top and has green silk that goes down to my feet.

It has black trimmings at the bottom and is six meters wide.

Then I bought myself stockings and gloves.

Now I'm totally broke.

Then I bought a hat.

I paid only 2 Marks on account, though.

The remaining 10 Marks Peter will have to lend me.

Tell me, Mrs. Hella, are you not a bit sad?

Sad? Why should I?

Don't you know that Mr. Winkler is going away tomorrow?

Oh...

- Where, then? - To Dresden!

Good grief! Didn't he tell you about it?!

Lina already got the luggage out.

Do you think I'm happy about this?

He lived with me for three years.

He was the only one who always paid his rent on time.

No one can tell me that I didn't treat my guests well or...

That dope didn't tell her anything?

I don't understand that.

Why are you snooping around in here?

- What did you put in your pocket? - Nothing.

Give it to me immediately.

Aspirin.

- You can keep that. - Merci. Merci.

Hello there!

Don't do that.

Hold this.

You! Peter.

Tell me... is it true that you're leaving?

What's going on? What do you even want?

You're going away, and you don't tell me. I'm left in the dark.

- Hella. - I want to know what that means.

What do you want? You want to get rid of me? You want to...

Okay, calm down and listen for a second, my child.

I'll be damned. Where did I put that piece of paper?

Here! Read the letter.

Go on, read it!

Come on, take it.

Let me tell you, I got such a great offer.

The sort of offer that comes around once every 100 years.

300 Mark basic salary.

10%.

A totally new thing, electric refrigerators.

The BM has representation here in Berlin. You know the BM?

There you go.

You just asked me how this man could have made all that money.

There you have it: he has the agency in Berlin, and he gave me the tip.

Oh, Hella, my child. Who's going to cry now? You?

It's still up in the air.

I haven't even made up my mind.

I've been thinking about it all week.

So, you've known all week and didn't tell me.

But it's all up in the air.

You know, I actually don't even want to take it all.

I'm not even sure right now.

I forgot the straps for the suitcases.

Do you think I can ask Mr. Winkler now?

No, leave him be.

Do you think he will still lend me his patent-leather shoes?

Maybe you'll luck out.

He's not leaving until tomorrow.

You know...

I'd also like to go on a trip somewhere.

Such a swank gypsy profession like being an MC

can be quite nice: you get to go all over,

You go take inventory of all the women,

and after a while, you become terribly sophisticated.

This stupid traveling.

Give me the blue one.

Ouch. Be careful, you dumb cow. How dare you!

It always takes eight days to recover.

What am I meant to do in a new city?

And without you.

What's going on?

Pardon, Mr. Winkler. May I bother you for just a second?

Just a second or two.

Excuse me, if a modest juggler

Mr. Neumann.

The thing is... the train lost my luggage somewhere.

Now I'm a swank artist and have to wear a tailcoat.

You have to see me in a tailcoat.

You have no idea what an English lord looks like

until you saw me in a tailcoat.

Look, Mrs. Weber, our guesthouse dragon, says,

you're the only one in this grand house

who owns patent-leather shoes.

- But... for God's sake! I... - Why "for God's sake“?

No need to be scared about the size.

I already tried them on outside.

Let me tell you, in the left front there is a gigantic tear.

It was already there.

I don't want you to think that I'm responsible.

As MC I can't appear without patent-leather shoes.

Your shoes will laugh their heads off.

You'll see.

- Yes, but I need the shoes, Mr... - Neumann.

The name should have rang a bell with you already.

I will return your Sunday shoes not later than 4 o'clock.

Keep my shoes as a pledge.

Just take the leather shoes for God's sake.

No, you can take those too.

You are a splendid fellow.

What a disgustingly pleasant person!

The boy in there is such a character.

You know...

I'm really not like this.

If I could only get a steady job.

With your debts, you can't be better off anywhere but here.

You think I like to be a pack animal? Carrying luggage? Carrying sofas?

Always having to run up and down?

Because I haven't paid rent in two years.

This is pure exploitation.

I only made 50 pfennig all week.

So, you didn't find anything at all this week?

What I found...

This is it.

- What do you have there? - Aspirin.

- Would you like one? - No, thanks.

Bootz, tell me if you know anyone who is having headaches.

I'm selling them for 5 pfennig a piece.

I'll tell you something

If I don't find steady work soon, then I'll have headaches myself.

What do you say?

Yeah.

You really should take it.

Yeah...

-But" -Think about it!

300 Marks a month and 10%, you won't even make half of that here.

If only it didn't have to go so damn fast.

I didn't even have enough time to consider it properly.

- I'd already have to report in two days. - But still!

You've had more time than me.

You seem to think I enjoy leaving you here alone. What?

No one's going to steal me.

Have you ever heard of someone stealing a saleswoman from a department store?

No jokes, please.

Come in!

Good evening.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

I'm bringing the laundry.

That will be 6.50 Marks.

- Here. Keep the change. - Thank you.

Can I take your laundry?

No, Mr. Winkler is leaving tomorrow.

Oh, no! For good?

Have a nice evening.

Everyone knew.

She was the only one he didn't tell.

Hey, you! I don't think it would work at all.

If I pay this all, then the travel costs on top

I will have 80 Marks left for the whole month.

I will be in a new city with 80 Marks.

You're crazy.

You're going to let that stop you?

If this doesn't work, you can leave me as a deposit.

I will ask Weber if she agrees to this.

You, monkey, you.

I will go now.

He will find an excuse.

Boy, was that ever a challenge to convince him?

Think about it, he didn't want to take it because of me.

He still isn't sure.

But I will get him to come around.

Will you not cry if he leaves?

But this is incredibly lucky for him.

And Dresden

Dresden isn't that far.

You also forgot to pack the green toothbrush mug.

And where is our bath towel?

But the pictures of your boxer, they are here.

"The count brought his beloved home to the castle of his ancestors."

Uh Kitty, that sort of thing only happens in novels.

Silly goose! How can you be so stupid?

Of course, we're going out. We won't spend the last night sitting around here.

Darned, I don't have the hat.

I can't ask Peter for money anymore.

I would love to look beautiful tonight.

You are always beautiful, Miss Hella.

- And sex appeal. - Why don't you ask Mr. Bogdanoff?

You want some money from me?

I would love to give you some money.

Although I like you better without a hat.

- No... - Just take it, silly!

You can give it back on the 1st.

No hurry at all. This 1st or next 1st.

Please.

Help yourself. 50? 100?

She just needs 10 Marks.

- Can you really lend me 10 Marks? - Sure I can.

Just take it.

This is... I need to...

Can you send Baron in?

Definitely. Of course.

Baron.

Baron.

Could I get by? Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - You're very welcome.

Not a problem for me.

Here.

Baron, could you do me a huge favor? I'll give you a pack of cigarettes if you do.

Of course, Miss Hella.

Anything for you.

Mr. Bootz...

Why are you playing in the dark?

Atmosphere, Lina. I need atmosphere.

Oh, no, Mr. Bootz. Oh, no. You're so funny.

So...

Get the salt.

You! I thought about it: you will do amazing with 300.

With the percentage, you will make at least twice as much.

If you set aside 300 Marks a month...

per year that comes out to...

3,500 Marks.

3,600.

And in two years...

3,000;6,000...

7,200.

You!

In two years, we could...

You know...

I could almost be happy.

What's going on? You seem to already have someone to replace me.

You want to get rid of me? Huh?

But, Hella...

Tell me, Hella.

Have you ever been unfaithful to me?

Hella.

Hella!

Come here, Hella.

Here! Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Here we go...

So? What do you want?

Come, have a seat.

A kiss?

- A kiss! - No!

A kiss!

What happened there?

Oh, my sweetie, what's wrong?

Are you better?

- Are you better? - Yes.

Yes?

- Are you scared? - Yes.

Are you scared?

So?

Who is stronger between us?

Well, you.

You're the man.

Yes?

Pardon me, Mr. Winkler, if this is an inconvenient moment.

Might you have some discreet black socks to go with your shoes?

Come on, Neumann. Please leave me alone.

I will hop on over to you afterwards.

Hello, my colleague. Could you lend me a pair of black socks?

Take a look in the drawer.

Mr. Winkler wanted to give me a pair later, but...

I fear by then the show will be over.

Did you find any?

I found one. The other one probably doesn't like me.

Looking a little colorful!

When I had a steady girlfriend...

my life looked different.

She was a lovely girl.

She married the businessman.

Who could blame her?

What would she see in a vagabond like me?

She had brown hair.

Almost like little Hella.

I have a similar one.

It looks like it has the measles.

Would you happen to have some ink?

I think there's some back there.

Turn the light on if you want to write.

Thanks but this is fine.

To Mr. P. Winkler, Berlin.

Uh, Hella.

Are you sad?

No.

Tell me, what do you actually like about me?

I don't really know.

Okay, but what do like in other men?

What does somebody have to be like or to look like for you to like him?

I don't know.

But if someone was to stop you on the street.

- I don't let... - Okay, I only mean if...

And if you were to really like him?

But why, I have you!

And when I am away?

So, darling, you will wait for me this evening, right?

And me, what about me?

Tell me, do you happen to have a nice friend?

Well, for my sister!

Well, I can't leave her alone for so long.

Yes of course, preferably Betty.

Yes, I changed it last year.

- Yes, where? Where to? Casanova? - Yes, sure!

Hello, how about the Casanova?

What?

Too expensive for you?

Tell me, what are you thinking?

Do you think, we come just because of your beautiful eyes?

No, if your pleasure is not worth more than that,

then you can stay at home and your canary can sing to you.

Tell me, are you out of your mind?

Let him get away, just like that?

You should have let me talk!

You don't use your big mouth, you use your sex appeal.

I don't understand you.

In the end, every woman needs a man.

Of course.

Tell me, how many did you meet before you met me?

One, two, three,

four, five

That's strange, you had half a dozen of these.

Where is the white one with the monogram?

That one? I am wearing it!

Tell me, Hella,

will you stay faithful to me?

I don't know.

I'm serious!

I don't know.

Maybe.

If no one will stop me on the street.

I am only saying, if

I like him

- You.. - Ouch!

Miss Hella!

Phone call!

Just one moment.

- Yes, who is it? - Phone call.

Hello!

Yes.

My little Baron!

You have already sent the hat to my home?

Of course, I will pay you anyway.

Unfortunately.

What did you say?

Fine.

Yes, that is really kind of you.

I will make you a nice present.

Yes. Goodbye!

What happened?

Who was that?

Secret.

Don't get excited It's of no use anyway

So please, I want to know who is calling you here.

I see you are jealous.

You have secrets, too.

Me?

You didn't tell me either that you were looking for a new job.

And What if I did?

Must you know everything?

And you?

You have to know everything?

I have to go home for half an hour.

There is something I have to take care of at home.

I thought we were going out together tonight.

Well, that's why I'll come back in half an hour.

Tell me, what do you need to take care of at home?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Can you pass me the band-aid?

Very fancy joint this is.

If you were staying here, you would speak very highly of it.

I have never seen such thin walls.

Imagine you receive visitors here.

Don't yell like that. People can hear every word.

I want to know why you have to go home!

That's none of your business!

Oh yeah?

I happen to think that it is my business.

Who do you think you are?

Maybe you want to keep a watch on me from Dresden, too?

I thought that won't be necessary.

You seem to be very sure of yourself.

Don't get excited

Tell me!

What do you mean by that?

Why don't you think about it until I'm back.

Are you on edge?

Do you suffer from insomnia?

A nervous disposition?

Cold feet?

Ringing in the ears?

If you do, try Dr. Kraft's

Mobilosan.

The soothing pine needles bath soak.

Here. For you.

See you later.

Monday, 30th September

Fritz Ruder Ansbacher St. 25

Monday evening, 7:30 pm.

Monday, 30th September

Oh, he will never notice it.

Don't ever say that!

Oh, I wasn't talking about you.

Hello.

Hello!

Please connect me.

With Olivaer 1-9-6.

9-6.

Can I speak with Miss Hella?

This is Winkler.

She is not at home.

What did she say?

She will definitely not come back?

A parcel?

From whom?

Can you check from whom it is?

Rieder... Rieder?

Thank you.

Okay, listen, do you know this one?

For adults?

Of course!

Go back inside!

Okay, listen carefully.

Mr. Muller meets Mr. Schulze in the street.

Muller says:

“Schulze, your wife is cheating on you."

Lina!

Thank you.

I forgot my keys.

Mrs. Weber!

It's a good one, right?

Mrs. Weber!

Can you please make my bill?

Why are you asking for your bill today?

It can wait until tomorrow.

Well, the joke was awesome!

I want my bill now!

What is the matter with you?

Did Miss Hella upset you?

She made you a scene, huh?

Did she cry, huh?

I can make out the bill for you right here.

When she left a while ago she was still in good spirits.

She was singing in the hallway.

Maybe she is looking forward

to me going away.

You know, Mr. Winkler, I have also had my thoughts about this.

Why, what makes you say that?

Well, when she came to me in the kitchen

she talked of nothing else but hats and dresses.

I'm not saying that a girl shouldn't buy a dress,

but a dress as expensive as hers?

Now, there one must ask oneself!

Well, where does all this come from?

And new shoes, too!

Well, where did she get all these things?

Maybe you bought them for her?

Straightaway this did not look right to me.

Did you know that Mr. Bogdanoff gave her money, too?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Word of honor.

She downright demanded it of him.

Rent - 85.

Breakfast - 15 Mark.

Oh no, so much dirt around here, that isn't nice no more.

The main thing is the heart remains pure.

They always drop the ash on the floor.

Would you like more coffee?

You don't have to ask twice.

The blond guy next door is quite taken with that girl.

You think she is a decent girl?

Going up to the apartment of that guy?

Do you think they want to pick flowers?

I don't know.

I didn't see anything.

If Mr. Lehmann hadn't gabbed so much back then,

I would have still had my job today.

A man only has to look at her,

straightaway she says: "No.

It's not for free.

I will not let anyone see for free if I can get paid for it."

Okay, I haven't said anything.

I don't shoot my mouth off.

But I'm saying

that's what girls are like.

They look a bit pretty and it goes straight to their heads.

Straightaway they want everyone...

Fritz Rieder?

Ansbacher St. 26?

I don't know him.

Tell Lina to come and help me pack.

But why, Mr. Winkler?

I need to pack, don't you get it?

Well, what do you want, Mr. Winkler?

I need to catch the train to Dresden.

But it leaves only tomorrow morning.

There is an evening train as well!

For heaven's sake, Mr. Winkler!

Lina!

Calm down, I'll help you.

Good heavens, what is the matter with you, Mr. Winkler?

- I really don't get it, Mr. Winkler. - Damn it.

How can this affect you so deeply, Mr. Winkler?

No, no, just leave it be. I will give you a hand.

My goodness, Lina still has to clean room number 4.

Okay, I am coming. I am coming, Mr. Winkler.

Neumann still has my patent-leather shoes.

I need them back right away.

Oh, poor Mr. Neumann.

You can't expect him to perform in his street shoes.

I don't give a damn!

I still owe Bootz 3 Marks.

Here.

LET MAN BE NOBLE, HELPFUL AND GOOD

My dressing gown is still in the bathroom.

But it is all wet!

I don't care. It will dry.

No, really, you can fill out the form yourself.

I don't have time now for this nonsense.

But Mr. Winkler, you can't do this to me!

I can't appear as a barefooted MC.

Not enough the jokes are dumb,

at least let me wear something on my feet.

Leave me alone now, don't you see that I'm in a hurry?

Tell Lina to get me a cab. On the double!

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

we shall present you...

Someone dropped off already.

We shall present you the main attraction:

the exotic snake dancer...

Now what was the name of the girl?

Snake dancer Araga Hoppla Destilata.

The most exciting thing you ever saw in your life.

When we look back...

Hello, you there, Mister! Hands on the table!

I mean, when we look back in world history,

we will see everywhere the victorious feminine grace.

And when after her wild dance

we shall take leave of this outstanding artist,

you will have tears in your eyes, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh Mr. Winkler!

I'm so sorry.

Mr. Winkler, do you really have to leave?

- Goodbye, Mr. Winkler. - Goodbye, Baron.

Here, take these cigarettes

and think of me when you smoke them.

A thousand thanks!

Must you leave already, Mr. Winkler?

- Yes, yes. - Have a good trip.

- Write to me sometimes. - Yes, sure I'll write.

Goodbye.

You know,

I will surely remember him for a long time to come.

Splendid, these Lennox Sisters.

- Oh. - What do you have to say to that?

Mr. Winkler has flown the coop.

What do you mean, has flown the coop?

Well, he departed.

Departed?

And never even said goodbye?

Well, I always say, these Germans have no feelings.

HOLD THE SUN IN YOUR HEART

For three years he was lodging with me.

He really was a respectable person.

Yes, yes.

He left nothing behind.

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

What happened, what's the crisis?

Hurry up already!

Ouch.

Ouch.

It's not my fault that you put on weight.

Ouch, that hurt!

And after this amazing act,

something very delicate.

I have run around like crazy.

First home and then to the seamstress.

I had to wait half an hour,

and then I had to go for the hat.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Am I a ghost?

You are speechless, right?

You didn't imagine it like this!

No, not like that.

Miss Hella!

Mrs. Weber!

Mrs. Weber!

Yes.

My little Hella!

What happened?

What?

I don't know either what got into him.

It was as if he was suddenly possessed.

He yelled at Lina.

I couldn't get a word in edgeways.

And poor Neumann had to return the shoes at the last moment.

What a drama it was!

You should have been here to see it.

But you see, that's what men are like.

They've got no consideration for others.

They do just as they please.

They don't give a damn if anyone gets hurt.

You know, Miss Hella,

I have also had my experiences with men.

My goodness, just look what else he has wreaked here.

He has totally wrecked my chair.

For that he will have to pay!

How much do you think

they will pay me for that?

Well, I guess 25 to 30 Marks,

that's would they should offer in a decent pawn shop.

You know,

if I have to part with my last heirloom,

then at least I should get a fair price.

On a rainy day

I can't walk in the street any longer.

Did you listen to my excellent MC speech?

- No. - Okay, come here. Stand here.

Come over here, little lad.

Okay, pay attention.

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen and all the others,

we are all wretched.

Don't be cross, little lad. You are an exception.

We are in a wretched mood

in these distressing times.

But as I can see,

there are still some of you with a lust for life.

Young man, hold on to your bride,

make sure no one will steal that sweet chick from you.

My poor little Hella!

Don't be so sad!

Such a nice girl as you are!

Mrs. Weber!

You are far too good for him!

Mrs. Weber!

One moment, I'm coming.

I'll be back shortly.

My little Hella.

The gentleman would like to see the room.

Of course, with pleasure!

Please do come in.

How did you manage to get into the building?

Well, the main entrance door was open.

Fine, I can show you room number 4.

Please follow me.

She was in total despair.

Last year we also had a young lady.

She too was dumped just like that.

And do you know

what she did?

No, for that there will be an extra charge.

That goes without saying.

We must go and check on her

and make sure she'll do nothing foolish,

the young lady with the bridegroom.

Yes, Mr. Bogdanoff, that's what you should do.

And there will be a small additional charge

for the bathroom and for service.

I see, but the music next door, that's included, right?

Miss Hella.

Why are you so sad?

And you are wearing such a beautiful dress.

You are like a meadow

on which grows a beautiful flower.

And here is the hat!

Very nice!

Very elegant!

Fritz Rieder Ansbacher St. 26

Tasteful.

You are very much mistaken.

Bugs in my place?

Last year I had the whole apartment fumigated.

Please give me the pleasure

and come with me for a little walk.

It's not good for you to be alone now.

We could go and have a coffee together.

Listen to some music.

Just to take our mind off things.

I beg of you, please let me be by myself.

I want to be by myself.

Maybe you would like to take a look at this room.

This is my best room.

The person who left today stayed here for three years.

I prefer this one.

In that case I will have it cleaned right away.

Here is the young lady, you know?

I just told you about her.

But Mrs. Weber!

But my child, there is nothing you need to be ashamed of!

No! It is not your fault that you have been treated wrongly.

That can happen to anyone.

But you know, you having regrets about him!

That I don't understand.

No! I wouldn't do him this favor.

Don't you agree?

Just deserts this young lady. Leaves her with no reason.

Without saying a word.

Would you do a thing like that?

Such a good looking young lady.

You will find someone else.

What am I saying? Ten you will find!

I will guarantee it.

You can get whoever you like.

He wasn't even a good person.

He didn't even say goodbye to his friend.

Mrs. Weber.

Excuse me, do you have one more key for the front door?

It's likely that we won't return together.

My goodness, he also took the keys with him.

I tell you, the damages this man has caused me!

Lina!

Lina!

Yes!

The new tenant will also need a front door key.

Yes.

Did you know that Mr. Winkler did not return his keys?

The keys?

I did not break any keys.

Silly goose!

I say, a guy who deserts a girl just like that!

He would be dead to me.

I only knew him by sight.

Once I met him in the hallway.

You think he said hello to me?

Not even close.

Yes, a nice one he is.

He didn't even leave me a tip.

What, he was a miser, too?

Well, apparently he was a stuck-up prig.

Lucky he did not fall into my hands.

I would have shown him!

I always say...

I am quite convinced that he was scheming this

all week.

A very evil person.

Come on, cheer up!

To leave just like that!

Without a goodbye, without a kind word.

Such a nasty piece of work.

He did say something to me.

Who said something to you?

Who?

Mr. Winkler of course.

He told me to convey his regards to Miss Hella.

He told you?

Yes.

He will write to you.

That is what he said.

And...

he said I should give you this ring.

This ring is his.

You have seen this ring before.

- He gave this to you? - Oh yes.

Well, I'll be darned...

And to you of all people

he assigned this task.

What?

Well, who else?

Now you really don't have to cry any longer.

Come now, cheer up!

Come now!

Such a beautiful ring.

He must have been very fond of you.

I always knew that he was not a bad person.

His feelings ran very deep.

He was really agitated.

Such a farewell, you know.

It's not for everyone.

Oh yes.

It's wrong to get carried away.

I almost would have said something nasty about him, too.

Oh right, you asked me for a key.

One minute, I will ask Mr. Bootz if he can spare me his key.

Please excuse all the excitement.

You see, if one has lived with a man for three years,

it can become quite distressing.

- Bye! - Bye!

Goodbye.

Mr. Bootz!

Adieu, Miss Hella.

When you write to him

DOING GOOD BEARS INTEREST

don't forget to mention me.

I will always be a friend for you.

You know,

I can't see a woman crying.

When I see that, you know,

I am capable of anything.

Lina!

Lina!

- Everything is flooded here! - Yes.

The silly cow forgot to close the bathtub faucet.

Wear it forever, forget me never. Hella. 27th May 1929.

Hello, hello!

But I had a connection just now.

Why did you disconnect me?

Wear it forever, forget me never. Hella.

A Farewell

The End

This concludes FAREWELL (1930) as directed by Robert Siodmak.

In 1931 the UFA studios added - without Siodmak's participation -

a happy ending.

Don't get excited When things go wrong

Don't get excited Anyway it is of no use

Don't get excited When nothing works out

Don't get excited It will all work out in the end

- Can I have a schnapps, too? - Yes, certainly.

A whiskey soda.

One cocktail.

There you are.

Hey Kitty, what's the matter with your customer?

He is constantly asleep.

Let go, he's my best customer.

Why is that?

Every time I wake him he pays me again.

Look!

What?

Did you understand anything?

Such nonsense.

I apologize. How much do I owe you?

16 Marks and 30.

How much?

19 Marks and 55.

Give me 30 Marks and it will be alright.

I see.

Here you are, 20 Marks.

But I said 30!

Put it in your pocket.

Please tell me, Miss,

are you still lodging with Mrs. Weber?

- No, I moved out a long time ago. - Me too.

It became too shabby for me.

And what happened with the beautiful Miss Hella

and Mr. Winner?

What could have happened?

They got married and have kids like organ pipes.

You don't say! I am pleased to hear that!

This was a most

heart-rending affair.

Mr. Bootz!

Why don't you play the song

you always used to play at the lodging.

Which song do you mean?

Well, this trei-rei-rei-ralla-la...

Oh, you mean the farewell song, yes?

Look, Kitty, he dropped off again. Time to wake him.

Great idea!

How quickly we forget

What once was

Nothing remains

That once was

Love is capricious it comes and goes

Like a dream It appears and fades away

How quickly we forget What once was

Nothing remains

That once was

Vanishes and dies away

A farewell
