All language subtitles for Paranoia (Adriaan Ditvoorst, 1967) ENG

GOFILEX presents

Dear Arnold.

I don't know if this card will arrive.

I couldn't buy any stamps.

Perhaps it will be delivered anyway.

I've spend the whole day in a train...

...because of the mobilization.

I'm very nauseous.

Because of the uniform.

It smells of mothballs.

I've never been this far from Amsterdam.

This morning a woman begged my attention.

Her son had been called for as well.

She said the whole world would blow up.

And then she cried.

I'm afraid.

Best wishes, Arnold.

Several years later.

Can I listen to it?

In a month I will be thrown out too.

Another one has left yesterday.

Who?

Joris.

To France, I believe.

Couldn't stand it here anymore, he said.

In a month he will throw me out too.

That'll be the end.

Because you're so afraid...

...I don't know what to say to you anymore.

What's tomorrow?

Friday.

If everything goes right
we can get married next year.

We'll do our coocking in the backroom.

Anna?
I think my throat starts to hurt.

Goddamnit!

Because of a busy work schedule,
Mister Wegman is not available right now.

You can reach him via the answering service,
telephone 123123.

You I wanted to see.

I"ll give it you straight,
the other already knows.

There'll be a new lock on the front door.

If you want to get in, you'll
have to ring.

And no one else will get in.

Why?

Why?!

They could loot the whole mess,
burn the whole thing down.

Why did you turn off the lights
again last night?

I'm going to bed at ten,
that's a very Christian time.

I want the building to be quiet.

Holy father who's in heaven,
we lost our dear daddy.

Mommy says, he has left us to
fight against foreign soldiers.

These bad men have come here
and took everything from us.

Now we have nothing,
not even food.

Dear lord in heaven, you
will not forget us, surely?

N.V.COMPRO-FOTO engages in all
discrete assignments.

What are you doing here?
We never see you.

Can I talk to Olmen briefly?

He's terribly busy, as you know.

That's why I come here so little.

Is it because of that?

You know I don't like you.

Besides, you come at a bad time.

This way.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

The head of Political Detection requests
information about Cornelis Dirk van Maanen.

Van Maanen was employed by
the Waffen-SS.

Shortly after Liberation he was caught and
send to an internment camp.

But he managed to flee.

His description: Length 1.75
meter, blue eyes, blond.

Due to shellshock, he is only able to
whisper when he talks.

Please can I.

Shall we go out this evening, dear?

We can catch a movie, what do you think?
Come on, shall we?

Well, Arnold, it has been a long time
since we've seen you. Have a seat.

I dropped by to ask if you could
maybe help...

I can't hear you, chap.

Is your throat that sore? With this
weather? How did that happen?

It's because of the war...
- Oh god!

You have to help me. Something
terrible happened.

I'll have to leave the room. There's
a new owner.

He has thrown everybody out and he wants
me out too. I don't know where to go.

He can't throw you out. That's
prohibited by law.

Out of the question!

And what if he does anyway?

If he enters the room or as much as points
at the furniture, you'll call the police.

And make sure you bring two
witnesses.

How would I get two witnesses?

This chicken is raw as hell.

Wine!

How's Anna?
Her name is Anna, right?

How's your luck in love?

Yes, we're still together.

Put the damn thing off!

Do you have a job? What are you
up to these days?

No, I don't have a job.

I can't do anything with that bastard
around. He'll rob the whole place.

You'll have to have a good lock installed
on your door.

I did that. I've got four locks on the door.
But it doesn't help. He'll get in anyway.

There are plenty of jobs. Take one you
can do at home, rent a typewriter.

I couldn't. It's horrible with that
man in the house.

Than you'll have to wisen up and get
another room. This can't go on.

I can't find anything else.

This room is cheap.
Rents are insane with the housing shortage.

If it wasn't for that man,
I would be happy.

He says he needs the whole building
for a factory.

That's nonsense! I can barely keep my
work shop myself.

You can't convert a house into a factory.

He doesn't do it for a factory.

So why than does he do it? Tell
me all about it.

He'll renovate the house in order
to rent it out to wealthy people.

If I wasn't broke, I'd be gone
a long time ago.

Very nice, indeed.

You could make a compromising photo,
so it'll be clear what he's doing.

Arnold, the whole bussiness is
getting at me the last months.

As you know, my company is
organised internationally.

Even during the war, we stood firm.
Shall I give you a little example?

Anyway, I'll show you something.

But to hell with it. I won't do
it any longer!

But couldn't you at least try to help me?

I've ended the whole bussiness operation.

But you still have gear, don't you? Camera's
etcetera? I'll have a quick look.

You won't find anything. We were
prepared for all events.

Even for armed resistance.

Your aunt is doing good!

Interesting, no?

You won't have to shoot anything.

The only thing you have to do is install an
automatic camera. So I can watch his moves.

I'm laying off. I'm not doing
it anymore.

I surely won't do it anymore.

I can't do my job anymore. People
cover the lense with their hand.

You have seen it yourself. Do you
feel where I'm getting at?

This is where he's getting at!
The pervert!

Do I disturb?

I'd like to fix a block.

Are you still sleeping?

I'm ill.

Here it comes!

One second please.

I'm splitting.

I'm tired of sitting on this swing.

That asshole downstairs, doing
exactly as he pleases.

At one point he'll throw all of you out.

Damn!

Yes!

To the right! To the right!

What?

To the right!

No, no, no!

Hurry up, will you!

Catch!

Jesus!

Yes!

Got it?

Yes!

Watch out!

It's done.

I'll tidy up.

Appie! Catch!

Okay? Good.

Jesus what a mess,
it should be replaced.

Goddamn!

Well, it won't close anymore.

You'll be lying in the cold then.

Luckily I found something else.

If you're looking for me...

Is it yours?

Bye bye.

You wanted to enter, didn't you?
But now you won't.

Arnold, boy, I'm proud of you.

From now on you won't bother
with people from the distant past.

You'll just go about like
history itself.

- Arnold?

I can't get in.

There's a new lock on the door.
I've ringed the bell but they won't open.

Where did you go?

Why are you whispering?
- Don't you know?

You don't remember anything.

You'll have to pick up the piece then.

And bring some groceries, bread and such.
You know why.

I don't know.

I'll authorize you.
You do know why, don't you.

No.

Haven't you seen my picture then?
- Which picture?

I can't find the newspaper.

In any case, I can't go out on the
street anymore.

Oh, come on.

People are quick to forget.
Especially with pictures.

Just sleep some more. I'll go out
and will be right back.

So why won't you get a laywer?

So what can the law do about it?

They'll send a car and within the hour
I'll be at the station.

Then they'll have it as they want it.

I'm going upstairs.

How do you do?

Anne.
- Have a seat.

What can I do for you?

- I was thrown out of my room.

I live on an attick together with my fiancee
and now the owner wants us out.

It's horrible, we can't do a thing, the
guy just hates us.

Yesterday we got a letter from the bailiff.
- Did you bring it?

No.

Oh dear, I left it at home.

But didn't you bring any documents?
- No.

What kind of documents?

The bailiff's summon, lease, receipts.

One moment please.

Hello?

I advice you to take it to a higher
court after all.

I wholy disagree with the sentence, I'm
positive it's not a service house

And moreover, if you appeal now, you'll
be off the hook for a few weeks.

Because as it is now, you'll be on the
street within 8 days.

You don't have to be that pessimistic
about the procedure.

I'll check what else I can do for you.

Yes. Bye sir.

Ah, yes...

Listen, I think it's better if you come back
after there has been a court order.

And will you bring all papers I
might be needing?

Okay.
- I'll see you later then.

And you don't have to worry too much.
Without an order they can't throw you out.

You'll never guess where I've been.

To the justice department.

What?!

To the justice department? Are you crazy?
What got into you?!

Are you angry?

Did I do something wrong?

Demonstrate!

In the first place, it's a good thing
there's police.

In the second place, 31.492 homeless.

In the third place,...

Aren't you cold out here?

Heil... heil... heil Hitler!

Father will you hurry. I've got so
much to do.

I'd wanted to tell you something
before I leave.

I don't see you that much lately.

You're out a lot... at night.

Well, I won't discuss it any further.
You know I leave these things up to you.

You've got a heart of gassoline.

So, what's the matter?

Actually, I wanted to warn you.

I've been talking to Wester yesterday
about Cleever.

Apparently he knows him well,
since they were young.

Wester was his teacher at the HBS.

Well, what does it matter?

By now, the people must have forgotten
about the war. I has been such a long time.

But you can't miss him?

Well, I don't want to talk about him in
a bad way.

I've met him once and I believe I
haven't even said a thing to him.

But, you know, just now, as I heard
Ayo shout "Heil Hitler"...

...it made me think about it.

Because, Wester told me he had already
been a strange boy at school.

Shy of people... and didn't hang out with
anybody.

The only thing he did was sawing figures.

At home.

Every few days he would bring
lamps, letter holders.

During the war Wester has been a
captain. Cleever served in his squad.

That has been a nasty episode.

They got orders to clear before they had
seen any damn German.

Apparently Cleever never recovered from it.

After mobilization, Wester stayed in touch
with all the men from the troupe.

Especially with Cleever.

He felt, well... a little sorry for him.

Oh, it's really time to go.
Will you come?

So where had Arnold been all along?
- In his room.

During the whole occupation. Apparently
he never came out.

But I don't understand at all.

Arnold says he is wanted by the police
because he has been with the SS.

Dear, he's just crazy. He has never
been with the SS.

He also says his picture is in the paper
and the police is searching for him.

The police isn't searching for him,
he searches himself.

So you think...
- No I'm sure. Wester doesn't tell nonsense.

I know him too well.

The fact is, they had to
beat it before they had seen one German...

It got to Arnold so hard, he took blame for
all the crimes commited by the SS.

Now I really have to go.

Will you watch out a little. I want to
see you happy.

I mean, with this boy... We've seen the
stories before.

Shall I make you a nice breakfast?

Don't you think it's nice?

I hate these animals.

The light is still on in the hall.
- Oh, yeah?

Well, be glad the man forgot to turn it off.

No!
Do you think he did that without a purpose?

So what did you think?
- You know that better than me.

I have to go down to turn on
the gass.

You know, I opened the gass tap.

I'll tell you exactly what you've been doing.
You've been to the landlord.

The landlord? I didn't.

I'm trying to make it possible for us to
remain here.

You go to his place. He'll give you bonbons
or some liquor.

Come here for a sec and open your mouth.

I've known it for weeks.

He takes you inside. You have to
sit on his lap.

And caress his belly.

I bet he knows everything.

He's got it from you.

He thinks he controls me.

I let him touch your legs.

Bye the way, I can always smell it
when you have been with him.

But I didn't want to say
something about it.

So you took money from him too.
Hence the new dress.

You're at home the whole day
and you don't make a dime.

You don't need to think I'm crazy.

But it's all over now. You just
go to the police...

...arm in arm with the landlord. The
things you'll see...

Arnold, you're ill. You need to see
a doctor.

You haven't been with the SS and the
police isn't following you.

Arnold, you're innocent.
- Ha, innocent. Nobody is innocent.

You hear nothing, you see nothing, you do
nothing. You don't even read newspapers.

Were is that newspaper? The paper with
your picture.

You'll not find it, because you
can't do anything.

Anne, come...

Come on, open the door.

Arnold, open the door!

Asshole!

You're too stupid to answer. What
were you thinking? You asshole!

You can involve everybody for all I care.
It'll be war again before that anyway.

I'm throwing you out!

Arnold, open up!

Well sir, still here?
We'll end this right now!

When I tell you to split and you don't,
I'll give you some fun.

Arnold!
