''Fairwell, Mein Lieber Herr.

''lt was a fine affair,

But now it's over.

''And though l used to care,

l need the open air.

''You're better off without me,

Mein Herr.

''Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr

Or wonder why, Mein Herr

''l've always said that l was a rover

''You mustn't knit your brow,

You should have known by now

''You'd every cause to doubt me,

Mein Herr.

''Bye-bye, Mein Lieber Herr....''

You know, you're really very good.

l know, darling, isn't it fabulous?

Listen, l want you to meet Fritz Wendel,

absolutely my oldest friend in Berlin.

Brian Roberts.

He's a divine playboy,

hurtling from party to party...

...seducing everyone in all directions.

You mustn't believe from Sally.

l'm a most serious man of business.

Making import-export with machineries.

Listen, Fritz is crazy

to improve his English...

...so he can dazzle fat American divorcees.

And l said you might deign

to give him lessons.

Darling, give me one of those cigarettes.

One moment.

Oh, you've got to try one of these.

They're absolutely devastating.

l'm sure they're filled with opium,

or some such thing.

They make me feel wildly sensual.

Till later.

She's hot stuff, yes?

No, thank you.

Oh, you're not mistaking me.

We do not sleep on each other.

That is correct? ''On?''

''With.''

''With.''

Linken Lieselotte...

...72 kilos.

Her father, you know,

is a big ambassador from Washington.

An ambassador?

Oh, yes, dear chap.

And soon, with her, l think,

l am entering the high diplomatic circles.

Strict rules will be obeyed.

Sally tells me, sir, that you're

from Oxford University.

A professor of language.

Well, it's, it's Cambridge,

actually, and l'm...

...l'm still working for

my doctor of philosophy.

That's why l'm here.

But, if you really want lessons,

l'd be pleased to help.

Excellent.

Start!

For the sport!

lf it's not...if it's not too expensive.

You know, business is...

...business is terrible.

The inflation, the Communists...

...the Nazis.

Soon l am with a tin cup, too...

...or l make a rich marriage.

That at least is sensible.

l suppose you're wondering

what l'm doing...

...working in a place like the Kit Kat Klub?

lt is a rather unusual place.

That's me, darling...

unusual places, unusual love affairs.

l am a most strange

and extraordinary person.

Now, tell me all about you.

l want to hear everything.

Everything?

Absolutely everything.

Well, there's nothing very dramatic to tell.

Well, since l've been down

from Cambridge, l--

Lya de Putti.

Absolutely my favorite screen siren.

Well, when l left Cambridge, l--

l'm going to be a great film star.

That is, if booze and sex

don't get me first.
