Darling?

Huh?

I hear you were having drinks with the

butler the other night.

Now you know that sort of thing

leads to anarchy

Mom.

One has to keep the distance

between them and us.

It all human beings.

Servants.

Oh, isn't it terrible darling?

Two more people have disappeared.

Oh really?

Were the "us's" or "them's"

Don't be facetious darling. Now drink your milk.

You're late for college.

Mom? When are you going to let me

have some coffee in the morning?

When, you're a big boy.

I mean you know it's bad for you.

But mom, I need the

caffine! Badly!

I'll think about it. Now run

along darling.

- Your books master Loftmore.

- Thank you Jenkins.

and your coff... excuse me.

Caffine sir.

Thank you.

...and uh. Your nicotine.

- Thank you.

- Allow me sir.

Will you be wanting your,

wheels today sir?

Not today Jenkins.

I need the fresh air.

Have a nice day, sir.

I saw the greatest movie

with Mark last night?

- With Mark?

- He still likes you.

I don't give a sh*t.

The guy's a slob

He doesn't know how to spell

"LADY", let alone treat me like one.

You know, the last time

we went out

he actually made me

pay for a drink.

- He did?

- Yes! I'm sure.

What I need is an older man.

Something with class.

A little style. Someone who

knows how to treat a lady.

- Businessman

- Doctor

- Doctor

- Lawyer

- Lawyer - Doctor

I don't care

Yeah. Okay

Yeah.

So why are you

dating Johnathan?

Dating? Grow up Sarah.

One night of fun.

Anyway, Johnny may have

a lot of class, but...

But?

...but he still has something

Mark hasn't.

What's that?

A body. I mean we're talking

major body here.

China, you're awful!

Your'e the worse!

No!

Strange. I have never seen that before

Yeah. A weird place for a waxwork.

Maybe they don't like customers.

I'm sorry ladies.

Did I startle you?

A heart attack maybe.

Startle? No.

I see you are interrested

in my waxworks. Yes?

Yeah. In fact we were just saying it's

kind of a weird place to have one.

I mean, on a street like this.

Really? Why?

The customers and that.

We got to get back to class.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Mister...

Mister?

Come on China

I am having a private showing

tonight. At midnight.

Good time. After dinner,

but before breakfast.

You can bring some friends, of course.

No more than six though.

Otherwise I'm afraid we might be a bit full.

Oh. You're expecting a crowd.

Like I said, no more than six.

See you at midnight then.

Wooooh Scaaary.

- 'morning Mark.

- How ya felling?

Late.

I June of 1941. Hitler's operation

Barbarossa attacked the Soviet Union

and the Baltic states simultaneously.

In just a matter of a few days

the Lituanians fell under the

assault of the Nazi Blitzkrieg.

The German occupation and

Hitler's announcement

of an Ostland Republic means

the end of Lithuanian culture.

but he was just a little bit too late.

Good afternoon Herr Loftmore.

Good morning sir.

You obviously know all about

the Lithuanian struggle.

Otherwise you would have

attended the first 15 minutes

of the geschichte! Yah?

Yes sir.

Good. Tomorrow I want a 20

page essay on the subject

now sit down.

- Thank you sir.

Thanks for that phone call that

I never recieved last night.

My memory must be going.

I don't remember Johnathan

letting me use his phone.

Oh. That's gotta hurt.

You went out with

Johnathan last night?

What! Are you crazy?

...and Mr. Loftmore.

I nearly forgot!

I also want a 40 page essay

on the trouble with dictators.

I can't believe she went out

with that monster last night.

Forget her Mark.

She's a b*tch.

I told her, her phone rang.

Look at that. You got on top of you,

you have a better chance with a steamer.

Heh. You know what

they say about

body builders man.

Thig big.

Stop being so foul.

Hah. The virgin has spoken.

Hey.

Hey, is it true what they

say about body builders?

Well, that's for me to know.

Why didn't you let me off?

Give it a break China!

Okay?
