Deception Page #2

But no more. After all, I know people.

I shall make them hear you and when they

do, you shall be where you should be.

You'll have everything.

oh, Karel, it's so painful to be so happy.

[CLOCK CHIMING]

Tell me, what do you want

when we are very rich?

I don't know.

A place in the mountains, perhaps.

oh, you want a mountain. How big?

You know, you said I always

made them out of molehills.

[CHUCKLES]

To go out on skis for days and days.

With nothing to shut you in.

If I could do that.

What else?

That and you.

I go without saying.

Except I like to say it.

This way.

I'm yours, aren't I?

If it isn't too good to be true.

oh.

of course, if you... If

you need to be convinced...

...if you want everything

signed and sealed, we could...

Don't you think we could be married?

At once.

The first day we can.

Is there any objection?

Well, don't you think we really ought

to get to know each other all over again?

How do you do, Mr. Novak?

Darling, how stupid of me.

You must be famished. I should

have thought of it sooner.

I'll get some coffee and sandwiches.

The bread's none too fresh, shall I toast it?

I had some smoked turkey.

Well, I guess the cleaning

woman had it for her lunch.

oh, here's some pt.

Chock-full of vitamins. Just what you need.

[DISHES CLINKING]

Schatzi.

CHRISTINE:
Yes?

This place? Is it...?

Is it lent to you?

Lent? oh, no, it's mine.

I mean, it's ours now, darling.

But...

...it must cost a great deal.

Not so much.

I got it on a long lease

when things were still cheap.

Schatzi.

Come here.

Yes, Karel.

This isn't a place of an artist...

...of a poor struggling musician

who could earn more as a maid.

Here, a Tang Horse, fit for a museum

and paintings and furs and your dress...

...and this.

What sort of a place is it? Answer me.

What sort of a place is it? Answer me.

- Don't. Don't.

[SIGHS]

Forgive me.

I'm not myself.

But tonight...

...the concert was a strain.

The shock of seeing you...

...such hope, such...

You see...

...there, in that place where I've been...

...there was no refuge

anywhere but in sleep.

oh, Karel.

Do you know what kept me alive?

The hope of finding you.

And finding...

...it wasn't true.

oh, Karel. Karel, don't talk like that.

You're ill.

I knew you had no money.

I knew what happened after the last war.

Yes, I saw it when I was a boy.

I saw what happened to the girls.

Decent girls like you.

I should never have come here.

oh, Karel. Karel, are you mad?

There's nothing.

I didn't want to have to

tell you but I took pupils.

oh, rich and untalented pupils, I'm afraid...

...but I gave in and I've been teaching.

Which we swore we would

never do, remember?
