EXT. STEVE'S OFFICE BUILDING, BERLIN - DAY
Steve's car swerves round the corner and comes to a halt.
A small crowd watch workmen on ladders hammering away at a
stone swastika above the portico. American soldiers
supervise. Steve gets out of the car, carrying an attache
case, and he, too, watches as the stone swastika falls and
crashes into pieces on the road. One or two people clap,
most just stare.
The American soldiers immediately hoist the Stars and
Stripes. Steve goes into the building. The sentry salutes.
The driver of the car goes to the trunk and takes out a
labelled duffel bag, cans of film, a case which holds a 16-
mm projector. A small BOY sidles up to him:
BOY:
Cigarettes, chewing gum?
Steve and Sergeant Adams ascending a grand, winding but
damaged staircase to the rear of a spacious entrance hall.
A once impressive building. Signs of bomb damage everywhere.
German workmen doing repairs. American military personnel
coming and going, saluting Steve, who barely acknowledges
them.
They reach the landing. Adams opens double doors and they
go through.
ADAMS:
We're gonna have the heating fixed
by tonight.
A few gilt chairs, a workman trying to repair the stove.
Adams opens another door for Steve.
EMMI is hanging the standard photograph of President Truman
on the wall. She turns to see Steve and Adams and is covered
with confusion. She gives Steve a little curtsey.
ADAMS:
Fräulein, this is Major Arnold.
Sir, this is your secretary,
Fräulein Emmi Straube. Her file's
on your desk. They sent her over
from Admin. I'll leave you to it.
He goes. Steve scrutinises Emmi. She's embarrassed, keeps
her eyes downcast. Steve goes to his desk, opens a file,
reads.
STEVE:
You live here, in Berlin?
