how could you speak how could you do

such a thing do what name your bastard

son johan give that charlotte's child

the same name as our legitimate son you

must transit from emily's point emily

don't mention emily to me hasn't that

made a big enough fool out of you

already she and others before you can't

surround yourself with your children the

way that you've done and expect i hold a

husband as well as you were concerned i

was merely a means of providing you with

children but not a means of providing

for i send you all i can afford

a good evening ah just in time hirsch

now tell her tell her how much i earn

well since i've been handling your hands

appears he's done extremely well i mean

how little i earned uh but by the time

he pays the orchestra the copyists the

rangers and emily trump push

look who's coming

good evening mr ampush

where's mr strauss he's he's at a

meeting

i'll find him

oh i'm sorry i didn't know you were busy

emily

my wife

well i must be getting back

what about that matter we were

discussing well i'll talk to my

emily in the morning why not now

very well

oh my god mr trumps and i have been

discussing that infant of yours i see

you'll have to change its name

you're going to tell me what to call my

own child ladies this is not the time

not the place now you listen to me missy

strauss i may not be johan's wife

because you got him first but my son is

just as much his child as yours well

then why shouldn't he have his father's

name

well say something

well such as what for instance the child

has already been christened johanna so

so besides edwin calls yours shawnee

you must come please forgive me oh i

forgive you

and if that young whipper snap on the

white uniforms here again tonight you'll

be in trouble

i'm sure your johan's sorry

sorry

he doesn't know the meaning of the word

yet

i noticed your han

never plays at dull myers no but

tomorrow's frantic to get him but your

hand's too busy to take any more

engagements

why

i was just wondering

angry yes

hey

all

right polka

so

so

quadrille

get up

we hadn't finished johan

oh you better go ahead i'll join you

later at the leisure bus we'll keep the

champagne flowing

is this how the matter ends

subject closed i am afraid so i see

good night well now perhaps it's your

turn for the shock

a shark

shawnee has been studying the violin

composition harmony

in defiance of my orders

and he shows great

promise uh i was beginning to worry

good evening father

is this true that you've been taking

music lessons but you've deliberately

disobeyed me i paid for them with my own

money and by giving piano lessons

somebody has to take care of mother i

hope to do it through my music other

fathers encourage their sons to follow

their trade you have never given any of

us one logical reason for this arbitrary

attitude so

you haven't suffered the indignant as a

musician has to go through are being

relegated to the private ball to using

the certain sentence of eating with the

servants are being paid like a servant

it's mortifying humiliating

and very unpleasant

any more so than having coins thrown

into your hat like a street beggar you

didn't mind that when you started

playing in taverns

we all know the real reason

the real reason you're eaten with

jealousy you're afraid that one of your

sons may surpass you and perhaps shani

has already surpassed you we may soon

find out

good night

you wouldn't dare force this boy to play

in public i forbid it do you hear me

oh

i got the impression father was a bit

annoyed didn't you mother

not half as annoyed as he'll be when the

name johann junior appears on the

billboards at dom myers

john myers

how quickly can you get together an

orchestra

now wait a minute mother i'm not ready

yet

besides dumb i wouldn't hear of it

i'm a very determined woman

no no no i'm sorry mrs strauss but the

answer

donaire as is as they're here you could

at least listen to them play i don't

want to appear impolite but i do have an

appointment

and i'm late now but shawnee is a much

better rounded musician than his friend

partly mrs faust if your son is so

talented why isn't his father sponsoring

him

anyway i'm fed up being harassed by

dirty mothers outfitting their

prodigies good day

how dare he talk to you that way

the pontifical jackass

good day mrs strauss

well

john meyer doesn't own the streets does

he

let's show him

climb aboard everybody

let's go

okay

okay

mother

mother have you seen this hansel look at

the big johann strauss and the tiny

little junior hidden down here it'd take

a magnifying glass to see it i know it

was my idea your idea to be frank it

wasn't your playing alone that convinced

mr don meyer this is what gave you the

chance at father's expense

go to the opportunity i don't care how

badly fathers treated us

i can't do this to him

it's sneaky

dishonest and in the contract and the

contract signed

look look at this

passing it out like confetti a giant

johann stose the minuscule junior oh my

god my god it's monstrous i can't

believe that a son of mine could stoop

to such deception the english you might

hersh not all i've done for my family

have you seen this

great great we'll get our front page

cartoon junior riding on fire with

potatoes that's the idea we'll balloon

it into a feud son against father new

generation against the old

yeah have you seen these just look you

look at them

here's a dozen more

oh i've never been so humiliated what in

my entire life i have never been so

humiliated

and then they laugh right in my face

they laugh

it's your wife she did this just to get

back at me

ah shut up

why is the junior up here where it

belongs and in big letters too it's time

our younger generation got the

recognition it deserves he's got the

best disgraceful

look what he's up to if the boy goes

through with this freezing deception

it'll embarrass all of us it'll

embarrass all of us all of us what about

me

i leave this prescription it should ease

the tension give him some sleep

richter mr hasslinger mr hasling as

johannes publisher how do you do how do

you do a good day

exactly what's wrong with you if you

want my opinion johan is sick with

jealousy

over his son's debut well how are we oh

stop being so jolly

what can we do to relieve your mind i'll

tell charlie to stop making a fool of

himself and me let's pray wakes up in

time

well if he doesn't i hope i don't live

to hear about it

oh the very thought nauseates me

no she is oh the other man

do you think the dress looks better with

this brush

toe you have the light touch of

elephants marching through a peat bog

what's a waltz without roboto

listen

all right follow me

acharya

look at that

i was expecting this sort of thing

but shawnee will survive it

accents

damn it all

if i had any sense i'd call the whole

thing off it's too late now

people even stuck me in the street they

call me a cheater charlotte i'll make

you all some coffee

and listen to this

the young whippersnapper is attempting

to use a ragtag group of musicians who

have been playing at small taverns

the mayor won't listen to reason well

think of something

well there's one thing we could do but i

don't know if you'd want to go that far

with your own son

go on

well we could sort in some of our own

friends to boo and whistle but i don't

by any means say you should do it to the

boy why not why not how do you think i

feel my own son behaving like this

trading on my name basking in my light

it's that mother of his putting up to it

yes to disgrace and humiliate me

i never saw anything like this

neither have i

oh

my debut is trying enough with only a

few listeners but have you looked at

that mob outside

that's terrifying i'm not here please no

the baton but

you both know there isn't a person out

there who isn't going to compare me with

father and he is their king

how is that

mrs rex may i have your signature excuse

me darling i heard you in the marriage

of figaro you were wonderful thank you

welcome marilyn to tesco

this way please oh these reserve i'm

sorry you'll have to go

quick open the window heard the people

into the gardens let the overflow hear

it from out there

oh

what a night everybody's here even baron

tedesco

well

it's time

good luck my boy

if i fail it'll at least be a

spectacular failure

ladies and gentlemen i wish to announce

johann strauss jr

so

i've never seen an audience so restless

that'll make our job easier

why do you suppose you picked this

overture

i guess because it's so popular

yes but vienna is used to hearing at the

opera house with a full orchestra

not a mere 15 men

boy's scared to death

i hate to do this to him well i guess we

have to

oh

please excuse me mr trouser you don't

know me i'm yeti thrifts of course i

recognize you there were two horrible

men who started this who are they

friends of my father persian hasslinger

oh no you mean your father did this

apparently

you have a lot of talent mr strauss

don't let anyone defeat you i have no

intention of it it's a disaster all i

can do now is go out there and apologize

don't you dare take another step

i am now going to play one of my own

compositions

the acceleration walls

thank you

oh

i admire his guts so do i but i didn't

think anyone would have the nerve to

walk back on that stage

um

then he played four of his own

compositions in a row and they made him

repeat the first one four times and the

next five we left during the last number

but it already demanded 16 repeat

playings nothing like this has ever

happened to the history of vienna

i think i'll

take a little stroll

excuse me

oh i'll go with you

in honor of my father i will now play

no

not one of his waters

because no one can play his walters the

way he does

but his most famous composition the

radetsky march

how's father scarlet fever is always

serious particularly in adults

it's a highly contagious disease he got

it from one of the children

hello father

long

days on

of day fade away

in the soft light of love

start

foreign

brings me

to

you

it is with deep sadness in my heart that

i accept the honor of conducting my

father's orchestra

in ballrooms and dance halls he rained

while traveling the land up and down

lightly tossing off waltzes and picking

up potted from here to see petersburg

and

from here to san peters

so

hmm

hey

girl of his heart

love of his

life love never to

die

until a new love took his

wind is eyes

warm

against my cheek

if i may be so bold

warm in a world of snow

warmed by the inner glow

formed by the fire

of my desire

to press my lips

upon your lips

jingling along jingling

so

what

merry christmas merry christmas

merry christmas merry christmas may a

peaceful nice increase there's a season

with a raisin all the way too much enjoy

i'll admit

what you and caroline have is something

very special nothing compares with it

seriously neither your music nor your

women nor anything

uh

um

where are you going strauss

to eat

not this time you are invited to join us

for supper

it's been quite a few years mr strauss

that was a trying night for you

most gracious of you

miss traffic is quite in love with your

prey mr styles

oh

may i say in return that i'm in love

with your voice mistress

i've heard you sing many times

well i'm afraid my days of singing

professionally are

over what a sad loss for vienna

why you're very kind mr strauss

perhaps our guests would enjoy dancing

don't you think so my darling not to be

sure my dear yeah if mr starts with this

okay surely moritz if uh mr strauss has

been asked to dine with us the

invitation should include dancing with

us

by all means

you will join us mr strauss

well i'd be delighted

excuse me i'll just make some

arrangements with my orchestra

may i have the pleasure of the first

dance

why thank you mr strauss

but my first dance is always reserved

it's all right yeti

you go ahead with mr strauss

you're sure you don't mind darling

not at all

one of women's oldest tricks

you're sure you don't mind darling

i know

as if i could say in front of my guests

yes yes

i do mind very much still you may regret

not having said it you know mr strauss's

reputation with the women how their

hearts flutter whenever he plays

as much as a man may love a woman

there is not much satisfaction in my

beard dance with him

how to always do this

last night i was with the most marvelous

woman she's absolutely wonderful

she believes in me and she understands

my music

just who are you talking about

a beautiful

brilliant

talented

scintillating

person

what is her name

yeti traffs

the mistress of valon tedesco

the woman who has been scandalizing

vienna the woman who was so charming to

me that first night at dom myers

now i'm treated as a guest not as a

servant i joined in the dancing

she accepted me as her partner and a

woman who is a good ten years older than

you you're not thinking of seeing her

again tomorrow

where

at the offenbach reception i invited

yeti and the baron

they accepted

in fact

yetis even agreed to sing

oh that's funny

did i already get my sausages

six

my beloved i address you in sorrow

my pen has been dipped in my tears

for i write that tonight or tomorrow

my path away from yours

another's attraction invites me

though it can't be what yours love

once was though he's touching no way so

excites me

there is something about him

that does

that's charming what is it it's from

offenbach's lapical for his reception

adam

yeah

i am afraid you had to sing your regrets

when important business matters come up

we had to leave immediately for london

today yes

and we don't have too much time you have

to start packing

but surely you can postpone the trip for

two more days i'm afraid no darling

we'll just start packing this uh threat

things we began for two weeks at least

but darling what about tomorrow night we

accepted johan's invitation and i did

promise to sing i realized that but this

is a business emergency you'll

understand we'd like to cancel all of

our social engagements of course look

darling

i know how you feel about this affair

but still the trip

is completely unavoidable

i understand

we should leave for the deploy 330

that will give you time to pack and get

notes off to everyone

i'm sorry

but morris

i just can't let johan down this way

you wouldn't want me to go back on my

word would you

yeti

darling yeti

in the last eight years you and i

have never been separated

not for a single night

is this affair for often back

that important to you

moritz

do you think it would be

terribly selfish of me

if i remained here for

just two more days

no

i suppose not

but

it's only two days

then i can join you

is that a promise

oh no yeti i'm sorry

i retract that question

me put it another way

i very much hope

you do decide to join me

thank you my sweetheart

for being so understanding

let this letter relate how my new

love brings me cakes caviar and

heidi's

while i never from indolent you

love had the minimum bread soup

and a cheese

the

woman's a creature whose fraught

love with emotion and dreams and mood

may this letter provide food for thought

love you must also give thought to

have food

you write waltzes invent ingenious

dances like a can can even compose witty

amusing operators how do you do it have

you ever thought about composing an

operetta yourself

excuse me

frankly any of your waters are better

than this one

you could also excel often back in his

own field if you would just try an

operator

suppose we talk about it over a little

champagne

your melodies are so rich they make

delightful songs i'm a singer i know and

i know my limitations look i'm just a

ballroom fiddler with a bag of tricks

that please the dancers a bag of tricks

inherited from your father a rigid form

that narrows your horizon you should be

composing for the concert hall not the

dance hall

i'm very grateful to you for coming it

means a lot to me

why thank you johan

when am i going to see you again

well you know i'm leaving for london

tomorrow must you go

i'm sorry of course you have to join the

baron

but i'll miss you

will you do me a favor johan yes

write a song

maybe if you had seen it

that would depend on the circumstances

yes

good night

good night

how about before the emperor

before the emperor what do you mean i'm

conducting a festival at bad issue it's

in his honor

well maybe if i'm back in time

it's the sunday

that's quite out of the question

you as a singer

one you like best

it would mean so much to me

so very much

i know the one

you played it here

that first night

i need you yeti

that you'll bring to me

i've played several times before the

oh you weren't worried

very worried what

why

but they'd expect us to stay for the tea

party

you were wonderful

thanks to you

oh look

it's a wedding party let's go

do you uh think we could improve on the

music

we can certainly try

and we know just the piece to lighten

things up

hey may i borrow your fiddle you play

a bit all right thank you

play a little louder play a little

faster liven up the music mr music

master just a little faster just a

little louder rattle out the rhythm in

your razzle dazzle way play a little

louder play a little faster till you

have the dancers heading for disaster

just a little faster just a little

louder

louder

oh

so

a

foreign

my bags are packed

i'm taking only a few necessities

i've come to say goodbye moritz

i'm leaving you

today

i mean now

there's no point in prolonging this

i suppose not

yet

yeti

please don't go

please don't leave me

merits

i'm in love with johnny

you're sure it's really love

i'm really in love with him moritz

that's how it's quite fine

very final

we're being married tomorrow

tomorrow

i'm sorry

i'm sorry

it's all happened so fast so incredibly

fast

it's hard for me to grasp that

everything between us has ended

oh darling

darling

it tears me apart seeing you heard like

this

but you don't really need me

you don't need anyone

shauna does

still

yet

have you thought the strain through

no that was a stupid question

a woman in love knows only that she is

in love

nothing else matters

for the moment

for the moment

yes

what about next year

or the year after that

you are nearly 10 years older than

shannon

i know

i know

a woman can growled very quickly

aging can happen almost overnight

i don't want to see mankind darling

but shani is a dashing personality

women threw themselves at him you know

that

so when the first wrinkles

start coming

you find younger women

and are you willing to face that

i can't help myself

as shawnee's mother

considering our relationship

how's she taking this

very badly

on a vows she won't even attend the

wedding

are you willing to face that too

i must go

what about cal

i don't dare tell shani

i cannot understand that

i can only pray that carl stays in paris

of course

i see that you are well provided for

you can have anything you want

no moritz

you're a sweet wonderful person

and that was the most generous offer

but i'm leaving you as i came

all i want from you

and i beg you for it

is your forgiveness

with you gone

with you gone

life will lose its special flavor

with you gone

with you gone

what will fill the

aching void

no one there to wake to make my morning

meaningful

nor to share the warmth the words the

wine

the jokes we so enjoyed

with you

here with you here

we had something rare together

then a word and a door

and the world turned

place

in a life i'd come to center more and

more

upon your face

how will i

carry on

with you

god

that's the dragon of it

you'll never realize how rare it is for

a man to find a woman

who could love so deeply

could sacrifice so much

about madame's clothes sir

what will i do with them

blazing there

that's all for today

with you here

with you here

we were too so right together

in our once

in our ways

we were clearly overkind

you're the perfect lies companion

for my heart and for my mind

with you god

well

mother meant it

she won't be here

it's about time

yet he's very upset

i know how i would have felt

if your mother hadn't come to our

wedding yes

well

it's quite obvious now he's not coming

it's time

she's still not here

mother's heart is filled with such

bitterness well can't we wait just a

little longer

i'm afraid it's no use

make him in

i was hoping that i wouldn't find you at

home

that you had already left for your son's

wedding and why should a personal matter

between your hand and myself concern you

that on tedesco

because it also concerns uh yet it

checks

a woman i still love very deeply

any breach between the two of you could

affect her happiness and their marriage

you indulged this woman with every

luxury and now she even has your hand

why should she care whether i go to the

wedding or not it means nothing to her

she cares very much

because she's in love with you now to

her he's just

a new play toy a whim a passing fancy

a new luxury of the moment

how little you know yeti mr strauss

she left all these luxuries you are

talking about behind her

she has nothing

well

nothing more than when she came to me

good day mr strauss

is

good luck thank you

yes

um

can you forgive a

very foolish woman

then came the great years

his fame his name his stature

grew

no more the ballrooms and the grand

cafes of early days

now

in hallowed halls where masters dwell he

plays

and she is ever near him

as the master works poor fall

and she is in the music

music born of their happiness

she never tires of listening

for listening

she lives again

five waltz embroidered years

god

so

oh

is

ah

happy

what a wonderful day this has been

just you and i by ourselves i've enjoyed

it too

you know how i'd be lost without you

you really do mean

down

i i'll be right there darling

i've got a present for you

better hurry up

just a minute

oh

another burst represent

well it's

it's very nice

and thoughtful of you darling and i

certainly have been after you to have

your portrait painted who was the artist

uh oh a woman greta horman an

up-and-coming artist uh

highly thought of young oh pretty

so-so

were you up to today

oh

johan hairback dropped by i'm still not

interested

too bad charlie

his choral group is in desperate need of

new material

look yeti

i wrote the one song for about ishel but

that's it

i'm king in my field and that's where

i'm staying

all right darling

but anyway i'd like to help him mr

harvick and i went through your father's

music and found this one the benefit

wars

don't remember it we thought it might

work out well with lyrics

hold it

try that sustained note a major third

higher

excuse me let me try

then it should go something like this

that's how it began

father's modest melody

lighted the fire that created the waltz

that ignited the world

but not

quite

dear yet

you promised me that dietrich would

write the lyrics why didn't he because

shawnee insisted it should be done by a

man named wild i never heard it before

well i'm very upset

if this fails i may never get shiny to

write for the voice again

hello darling how is the rehearsal going

hello everybody

oh meet a friend of mine he was a vile

and his talented daughter lily

yeti

lily is a promising singer

dearest may i see you for a moment alone

excuse me

look johan yes the last thing i would

want to do would be to hurt your

friend's feelings

but

but what

well frankly his lyrics ruin your music

i'm sorry to have to say this but it's

true oh and whose opinion in everyone

else a glimmer of light with us it's

night carnivals come ho-ho-ho you can

ridicule anything with sarcasm but don't

you see the lyrics are sarcastic

they're inflammatory against the

monarchy

wile has used your beautiful walls as a

political message oh yet he please oh

darling darling

you're a genius when it comes to writing

music but still naive about lyrics

well it's to

it's too late to do anything about it no

no it isn't please sean

just listen to those words again and

listen with an open mind

no it's this time to get dietrich even

if i were to agree about the lyrics i

still couldn't do a thing like that to a

while

is it mr wild you're concerned with or

mr wile's daughter

leave her out of this

lily's a sweet girl and young enough she

seemed quite pleasant

she had nothing to do with it

i wonder

i'm telling you if that's all

shiny

do you love me

what's that got to do with it

everything if you love me

if you really love me

this once do as i ask

i'm sorry eddie

i couldn't do that

and so i can blame the blue danube

for the first

serious rift between shawnee and myself

on top of this the performance was a

disaster

and i'm afraid you'll never write

another song you shouldn't take this one

failure so too hard still ashani said

the devil take the walls

he's only sorry about the finish he had

high hopes for that he'll soon forget

about last night his career will survive

forget last night

you can both dry your tears what do you

think

i've just been invited to play at the

international exposition thursday we're

leaving for paris paris oh wonderful

oh of course

oh but how can you shawna you you have

so many commitments here oh yourself

will fill in for me while i'm gone but

thursday's only two days off i i don't

think i can leave that quickly there's

so much to arrange

you've managed before in short notice

you'll do it again uh johan and i have

been writing a polka together yes see

what you think of it

yeti

what's wrong

wrong

there's nothing wrong you don't want

shani to go to paris why

well for example

he'd be competing with often black the

toast of paris you know full well that

sean is better than offenbach you've

always said so yourself

besides

appearing at the paris exposition

could be a stepping stone to the boston

centennial have you considered that

yes i have from what i hear the boston

concert will be the biggest musical

event of all time

yeti

there is something else

what is it

come sit down you can trust me

more and more

johann is becoming interested in younger

women

it's killing me

anna i don't want to lose shaunie i

desperately don't want to lose him

it wouldn't take much now to destroy our

marriage that's why i sophia going to

paris i think you better tell me

everything

there's a man in paris

he would stop at nothing to get money

including blackmail who is this man

his name is carl

paul call who

your brother

but a relative of course

yeti what are you holding back

he's my son

but your maiden name is

thrift

i see

is

here's my address

i'll be there at noon

i'm not worried i can always go to your

hotel if it slips your mind

come here

please don't be discouraged by the poor

attendance

it's just that you're still not too

unknown here i understand and there is

so much competing with you everyone is

using the occasion to give private balls

yes there are two or three some nights

please excuse me but dear shouldn't you

be leaving for the rehearsal ah there's

time excuse me must go now goodbye

i beg your pardon listen to this

i've got something to tell both of you

john has been invited to play at the

austrian embassy at their grand ball

that's great news really great it's just

what you need to get known in paris

isn't that marvelous oh it's very

exciting

and the ambassador's wife wants you and

yeti to join her for lunch today

yes i know it's short notice but

princess metanic wants to go over the

program well in advance oh

shaunie what about your rehearsal

are you serious

darling get ready

but

but i can't change

get my hair fixed be presentable for a

luncheon at the embassy this quickly

it's just impossible

so besides that i have a fierce headache

oh

you didn't mention it earlier well it's

become worse

if i feel better donna i'll join you

later

here's your music

hadn't you better leave now so that you

can call off your rehearsal

well i guess you're right we should be

leaving

i hope your headache is better

promise me you'll rest till i get back

ready

and all this haze it just occurred to me

i have the music here but who's going to

play it the princess herself plays piano

oh

the music was written more for the

violin

wait here i'll quickly get my fiddle all

right

so

just getting my violin

darling

i've been thinking what a fortunate

coincidence that you're having to come

to paris at this time

may i compliment you on your playing

princess pauline

thank you

i wish i could return the compliment but

it would be as presumptuous as an

amateur artist telling titian he painted

well oh you're very kind

well i'm a little concerned all the

waters we have played so far

are in an allegro temper yes why

well although the parisians like the

kadrils even faster than we are used to

them in vienna they prefer a slower

walls

what about this one it's marked moderato

oh oh no uh not that piece

anyway it was written for a choral group

please it should never have been

included it got in by mistake still the

tempo is right for the parisians could

we start

here

so you see either i got their money or i

face prison

i no longer have any way of raising such

an amount

one hundred thousand gulen

it's impossible

i simply must go

oh i think you'll find a way

or perhaps you prefer that i speak to

strauss about it

i'll send you what i can for now

how was your headache darling

better

did you have a nice rest

yes i i did as you asked

is anything wrong

i don't know

is there

exactly

what's on your mind shaunie

you found plenty of excuses for not

going with me today in spite of the

importance of the lunch

still you managed to go someplace else

where

and why

someplace else

i came back for my violin you weren't

here i felt like some fresh air i went

for a walk

a walk

to cure a splitting headache

i certainly refuse to be cross-examined

this way

i don't wonder you're trying to accuse

me of something yes

of lying to me

you could have gotten ready in time if

you'd wanted to

and you didn't have a headache and just

why did i pass up that invitation

what woman wouldn't jump at the chance

to lunge at the embassy with princess

madness

unless she had something more important

in mind

oh

are you accusing me of having some

secret lover is that the idea

because if that's what you're doing i'm

leaving right now

well

i didn't say that you implied it all

right

but what about the blue danube

how dare you slip it in with the other

music

no i'm stuck with a damn tune

yes

that's very

hmm

hey

it success played and played

press no pause no rest the printing pads

but i understand they have borders for

nearly a million copies the sales have

been phenomenal

what's happened to their money it's mrs

strauss sir i'm afraid she's made some

rather heavy drops

over 50 thousand golden

fifty thousand i'm afraid so mr have

amaya

why should i gamble on a new field but

it wouldn't be a gamble not if you wrote

the music don't you see that darling

after all deflated mouse was a success

in paris as a play

max couldn't have provided you with

better librettis and hoffman jenae it's

a perfect combination

i don't know

here

let me pick a page at random see what

you can do with it

come my dear don't be stubborn

you're acting like a diffident little

boy

how do you do mr harper i want to see mr

strauss alone please

pardon me ma'am yes but there's a

gentleman here to see mr strauss

who

mr halfmayer

send them in

mr halfmeyer insists on seeing you alone

sir

alone

how old

well excuse me dear

hello hivemeyer what's this all about

i'll come right to the point mr strauss

oh dear god what will i do

you've gone through 50 000 golden in

barely three months

how is that possible

that much

well whatever the amount it was spent

for a good reason good reason

what excuse could there possibly be for

squandering that kind of money to begin

with whenever you move into a new home

they're always heavy expenses you know

that

we're talking about 50 000 golden

you don't have to shout

i've had to buy a lot of new clothes i

must stress well especially now that

we're being invited to so many important

functions

you want a wife you can be proud of

don't you

yes

all right then

where are the bills

for these fabulous dresses

show them to me

i don't know i

i don't know you're getting me confused

suppose they're around someplace around

some place exactly where did that money

go

please johnny please

i can't answer right off i demand to

know demand to know you heard me shaunie

don't you ever speak to me in that tone

until i get an answer

i'll speak to you in any way i choose

shawnee

wait please

listen to me

say yes

just as long as home

yes

to me

just as long as

you

yes

alice

we won't wait dinner any longer you can

clear the table but what about you men

i'm not hungry

good evening shaunie

hello max before you join your friends

in there i appreciate the worth with you

miss lily wild

max steiner the director of the theater

on the wing i was at your house today to

see if you would gun over libretto yes

yeti agrees with me

you are the one man to write the music

and we've got the one woman to sing it

i'll let yeti tell you yourself it was

her idea

now

i want you to go home

and start on that score

all right max i'll think about it

one drink and slowly i relax my brain

was over taxed my

three drinks and there she was supreme

and slender four drinks i knew i'd soon

and she was in my power like a helpless

flower i could wrap around my little

finger six drinks and there we were in

bed but we were where she said and she

was right

two drinks and i was slightly gay i had

a fismal day and i deserved a bit of

recreation three drinks and then she was

so grim and slender pour drinks

five drinks and she was in my power like

a helpless flower i could wrap around my

little fingers six drinks and then we

were in bed but we were where she said

that she was right

drink

drink

three drinks

wow

um

am i young

pretty

do i have a good figure

you'll find me exciting yeah ravishing

desirable

look at all those things

well you don't show it oh i'm beginning

to wonder if you're a man at all

maybe you're already too old for a young

girl like me

why this outburst who do you think sent

that man searching for you like you were

her stray pet

yes it's the king of the waltz a man who

writes red-blooded music for red-blooded

people to dance to

and now he's going to compose lacy panty

operetta's for some dreary correlatura

to sing

and guess who's going to be that

coloratura

steiner was evasive on that point wasn't

he

yet he wanted to tell you herself as a

surprise

these opera stars never give up do they

no matter how

darling good evening max was here today

and i sang i know

good he found you yes

how would you like some eggs

well what happened what did you tell max

max said you had an idea for a leading

lady yes i was so excited i wanted to

tell you myself

well

there's only one person to play that

role

exactly who do you have in mind

mary geistinger she's dying to do the

part isn't that exciting

i thought you might want to play the

part yourself

surely darling you don't think i try to

further my own career at my husband's

expense

just the way you like them

thank you my first job is to be a good

wife

my second

to help build your career not mine

these eggs are

very great

you look unusually lovely tonight

thank you very much

now don't keep me in suspense are you

going to do the score

hmm

i think i'll have some eggs too

and in this fairy house the masterpiece

was born

that most incredible gem

the sparkling flood of melodies that

were in the bust of laughter and

champagne

in 43 days locked in this house johan's

trousers composed deflate a mouse

yeti

it's no use

i don't know anything about writing for

the voice much less the stage

oh dear maybe from your standpoint it's

a struggle composing the score but from

mine it's an even bigger struggle

convincing you it's good

now listen to it

who are

you

who are

you

a stranger

with searching eyes

who are you

whom are you

hoping

to hypnotize

is it our

lonely eye

by some enchanted chance

should it be

where i

will live life through

oh darling it's wonderful

there

to its success

excuse me but i've been drinking stars

drinking stars drinking stars watching

them in lovely doors calling them

sensations

excuse me

yes

hello there

get it yeti come over here please uh

just a minute

dared return to vienna you know what

would happen if the authorities

discovered you here if i can't raise

that additional 50 000 golden

immediately the consequences will be the

same it's out of the question would you

rather i go to prison of course not the

scandal would hardly help your relations

with stars if you'd earned an honest

living like everybody else

you wouldn't be forever in trouble

yeti we're all waiting i'll be right

there

i can't give you anything anymore it's

impossible

very well

i have no way of getting it

then maybe i have a

good night

you should not invite the police you

ruined your life

it would only make matters worse

getty will you please come up these

gentlemen just want one photograph let

me help you

no

you're very kind

but

take this draft

to the bank

get the money

and bring it

to mrs

johnstraus

with this note

i'd like to see mr strauss he's in a

meeting with mr steiner

i'll wait

what's the name sir

karl tress

yes

i just had a visitor

who

a common thief

an embezzler

who

your son

your illegitimate son

so you've been using our money to keep

that scoundrel from going to prison

after all he is my son

i could hardly ask you for such an

amount

well

he can fry in hell before he gets

anything more from me

and he had the impulse to demand another

50 000 gold

it brings back sordid memories of my own

father and emily and their five bastard

children

pardon me ma'am but there's a gentleman

here to see you

madam from baron tedesco thank you

why did you lock that draw

out a force of habit i guess

i never noticed that luck before

there's nothing important in there

give me that key

you think i'm hiding a letter from a

secret lover

are we back to those suspicions again

i said give me that key

here

where did you get that money

baron

oh

wait for me would you

what's happened i'm leaving sean

for the depot oh wait i'm gonna get you

will you help me please yeti will you

listen to reason

my mind is made up will you listen to me

what was all this money doing on the

floor

where's it come from baron tedesco

they have a rather nasty name for

husbands in my position you're out of

your mind

i don't believe it

let me read you this

i realize you said no when i offered to

pay off carl

please reconsider

the 50 000 golden has no importance to

me

your happiness with shawnee does

moritz

let me see that

room but

why

why why all these lies

why didn't yeti tell me about her son

you idiot

he knew her marriage was held together

by a threat

it's hopeless enough for a woman her age

to have to fend off younger women

without having an illegitimate thieving

son come between you

yes she told mother about him

and remember

she gave up living in a palace a fortune

to marry you

what's 50 000 golden by comparison what

sacrifice would you have made for her

and what about lily

everybody knows about lily including

yeti

and how do you think that makes her feel

now you've lost her

she's left you

you're a blind stubborn opinionated

jackass and it's time someone knocked

some sense into you and that someone's

me

you might just make it to the station in

time

well i guess i heard it coming

but it was a bit sassy of a younger

brother

i'd like a ticket on the first train to

leave please where to

wherever it's going

to the station quick

drive like it's a chariot at the farm

and there's five goals in it for you

yes go

hey look out

faster faster

god

do

hey

yeah can you forgive me

my brother called me

stubborn

obstinate a jackass or fool

oh whatever you'd like to add to that

i deserve

don't leave me yet

i love you

wow

100 added my s3

1000 musicians

20 000 voices and

100 000 people

you
