this trip. Don't worry about it.

Thank you, darling. Yeah, yeah. Very nice.

Thank you, darling. He's very warm

and friendly and he's very kind.

Time, time, time is money.

All that money. It's your money.

Is that bread?

Oh, it's "Brot, Brot."

Thank you. It's all planned.

What's the plan? Being impatient! Bye bye.

She's very nice.

D'you want me to walk round here?

Keep walking?

[up-tempo music continues playing]

Darling, what have you--

Oh, that's all right, he said yes.

He said yes, he said yes.

He said what?

[muttering]

He said yes. Falki said yes.

I won't even imagine

But it's pulling your jacket.

Well, can I hold it?

It's my panty, isn't it!

Like at the "scareport."

Like the check at the airport.

Giving us a full body search.

-[Gillian] Full body search.

-[Gillian laughing]

They did that to me, didn't they?

Okay.

[Nils] October, 1986.

I came to the concert...

[muttering indistinctly]

And David came outside,

and asked me if I could

give him a cigarette.

-At that time--

-He was still smoking!

He was still smoking. It was very

close to when he stopped actually.

Stopped one month maybe later

when he went back to Australia.

Where he lived then...

He asked me which--

Who I was. I said I was

a pianist. And uh...

He asked me which piano company I played

and I mentioned like four,

five at the starting...

And it turned out-- He said to me,

he played exact same five.

I said to him...

I think that's very strange of me that

a foreign person who'd come from Australia

and we played exactly

the same five concerts.

And later on I learned that it was

because he was so polite

he didn't want to make me feel small!

Because he played like...

at least 40, already at that time.

He thinks about rivers, and trees,

and the sky, and birds

when he's practicing.

The notes-- it's not the notes

going through his head.

It's the music that's going

through his being...

And, this is--

And somehow... a part of his nature's

also that he

so that he doesn't know how difficult

it actually is what he does.

-[Gillian laughing] That's right.

-I mean had he really known

how difficult the pieces he's playing

are, he wouldn't be able to do it.

[Nils] Just living in this world, like

a child, in the good sense of the word.

He doesn't see the difficulties.

Don't be greedy. Don't be selfish.

Did you come all the way from Germany

specially? Specially, specially.

Mainly for me. Because of me? Partially.

It's all planned.

Well, the less you know, the less

you worry. Is that right?

You have to know the plan, stay informed.

You have to know

what's going on, don't you?

Otherwise how will you know

to get ready, to get ready?
