to advance,

but you can read all about that in

the service regulations.

Here it comes.

Come in.

Please,

Herr Sleeping Car Conductor,

the rails to Berlin is our best section.

When I was in America

I was fortunate enough to meet

Mrs. George Pullman.

She gave me this bonbondose that

Mr. Pullman himself used to carry.

Take two!

And crush them...

...as is the custom in your country.

Attenton, please!

Sr!

Have you got no decency at all?

The shades must be down now.

Those are the rules.

Please listen, Herr Kessler.

Things will be quiet for a while.

I'll retire now if you would be so kind

as to keep an eye on everything.

I'll entrust you the passkey.

I'm in the kitchen if you need me.

And keep in mind

that the management's private

compartment has been taken.

Entre!

You can make the bed now.

Sorry to disturb you, uncle.

I need some help.

Uncle?

Please, excuse me.

It's my first trip...

Your German is not bad at all,

Herr Kessler.

Please, continue.

What's this?

Partisans. Executed by your

countrymen, I believe.

But I thought the war was over.

Some would rather fight

Will that be all?

No, please, stay.

Please, sit here.

We are approaching a tunnel.

It's ridiculous, I've been on trains

all my life, but...

I'm so frightened of tunnels.

Could I persuade you to stay until

we've passed through?

Once the electric light went out

You see, normally I have problems

falling asleep.
