He said, "I didn't make them sick."

What about Paris?

What about Rome?

- You aren't listening!

- I am listening!

Where my mother lives,

the servants live under the ground...

no windows, one bathroom.

It's wrong. It's wrong, Lilly.

Do you understand?

[Julia]

I heard from Oxford, from medical school.

- I was accepted.!

- [Lilly] When will you go?

At the end of the summer.!

[Dixieland]

- All ashore that's going ashore.

- You'd better go.

[People Shouting Farewells]

When are we gonna see each other again?

It'll be so long.

Think of it this way... when we do

we'll have everything to talk about.

- All ashore that's going ashore.!

- Please write me.

You know I will.

Work hard. Take chances.

- Be very bold. Do you hear me?

- [Bell Clanging]

- All ashore that's going ashore.!

- Good-bye.

Good-bye.

[Lilly's Voice] I wasn't to see her

again for a very long time...

until I went to visit her at Oxford.

There are women who reach

a perfect time oflife...

when the face will never again be as good...

the body never as graceful or powerful.

It had happened that year toJulia.

- Do you have lots of friends?

- Not many.

- Do you get to the theater?

- No, there isn't time.

But we always went to the theater.

When you write your play, then I'll go again.

- How is your writing?

- Oh, I'm still at the publishing house.

I wish I could write full-time.

- Do you have a beau?

- No. Do you?

Well, I think maybe I found somebody.

- And you?

- I did, but it didn't work out.

- What are you reading now?

- Darwin, Engels...

Hegel, Einstein.

- Do you understand Einstein?

- Sure.

[Chattering]

- Will you come home next summer?

- No, I'm going to Vienna.

I'll finish my medical studies there...

and then I'll apply to study

with Professor Freud.

Can you do that?

I mean, I know you can do that...

- butJesus.

- I think so. There's a chance.

I think he will accept me.

Lilly, you have to come to Vienna.

Then you'll know what to write about.

People are coming alive there... working

people who've never had a chance before.

They've built their own

part of the city in Floridsdorf.

They've got their own orchestra.

The newspaper's the best in Vienna.

Lilly, finally there's

some real hope in the world.

Do you understand?

Yes, of course.

[Lilly's Voice]

But I didn't understand.

Not fully. Who of us did?

She wrote me from time to time. She went on

to study medicine at the university in Vienna.

And as the years went on,

she wrote angrily of the threat of fascism...

and of the Nazis, of Mussolini

and Adolf Hitler...

and of the holocaust

that was on the way.

She couldn't understand why the world

refused to see what was coming.
