I might have found somewhere to stay.
- I got talking to this man on the train.
- Little slut.
Apparently his landlady's desperate for a lodger,
something about filling her quota.
I thought there'd be no harm in checking it out.
You're very welcome to stay here, you know.
In fact, I'd very much like it if you did.
I need a room of my own, Wys.
which I'm going to have to to earn a bit of cash,
and subsidise my writing...
Well, you can't write poetry
with me buzzing about.
Yes, you're right.
So I expect you'll be seeing him again,
this Caspar chappie?
Oh, yes. I hope so.
I have missed you.
I love English gentlemen, Herr Isherwood.
Herr Hamilton such a charming man.
And you a writer! What an honour.
You can write many famous novels here.
Oh.
Herr Isherwood, this room was made for you.
It's very nice, Frulein Thurau.
Herr Isherwood, you English are so polite.
Well, you English men.
There is an English woman across the hall.
She treats me like a slave.
"Frulein Ross," I tell her, "I was a lady.
I have not always scrubbed floors. "
Forgive me, Herr Isherwood.
That was the lodger before you.
I don't know what he'd eaten
but it won't come out.
Wie schn Sie wieder zu sehen.
Morning, darling.
I have the most perfectly frightful head.
Who is it?
Isherwood.
Who?
Christopher Isherwood.
It's me, Christopher.
We met on the train.
I've taken the room.
Oh...
Christopher.
Do forgive me, dear boy.
One has to be so careful nowadays.
Since my release from Brixton, I've um...
...I've rather lost touch with the old country.
- You were in prison?
- Yes.
For expressing anti-British sentiments.
Though how, I ask,
could I be regarded as a traitor,
when I have rivers of Irish blood
simply coursing through my veins?
So you're in business here?
One must have fingers in many pies, dear boy.
Such alarming times we live in.
Heinrich.
A young stevedore I encountered in Hamburg.
And what were you doing in Hamburg?
What is one ever doing anywhere?
Passing through, dear boy.
That is our destiny.
Forever passing through.
He does make rather an impression, though.
Well, I um...
I have found, Christopher, down the years,
that I've never been able to relax sexually
with a member of my own class.
That an affair with one's social
and intellectual equal is well-nigh impossible.
Hm?
I suppose.
You're in the right city, dear boy.
Quite the place to let your hair down
Oh, dear.
Is it crooked?
Just a tiny bit, perhaps.
One must take a little care. We're still illegal.
And should the Nazis come to power,
they'll stamp us out altogether.
