but lay awake each night

dreaming only of Valerie.

Mr. Sonnenschein, a Miss

Sonnenschein is here to see you.

You may leave

your umbrella here.

[Gasping]

When I'm lying in your arms,

I feel like I've come home.

Like I've finally come home.

I have to pee.

[Both Laughing]

So do I.

[Narrator]

When he finished his studies,

Ignatz returned to Budapest

and to his family.

For Emmanuel,

my grandfather Ignatz...

was the greatest achievement

of his life.

Whoa.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give

you Dr. Ignatz Sonnenschein,

doctor of law

in the Austro-Hungarian Empire...

and Kingdom of Hungary who has

come home to live with us.

- Hurry up. Your mother's waiting.

We ask Almighty God to bestow

His blessing on you, my son.

We also remember with gratitude

my dear father...

who perished

in a tragic fire,

but left us with knowledge that has

enabled the Sonnenschein family...

to progress from village

tavern keepers to city lawyers.

We are grateful

to Almighty God...

for having spared us

my father's recipe book...

for his herbal tonic.

And now, Mrs. Sonnenschein,

you first.

[Emmanuel] Last night

I dreamt we lost the recipe.

- [Ignatz] What happened, Father?

- My goodness.

I stood on a boat, drifting.

You were all with me.

The boat began rocking

from side to side.

I sat in the middle,

just... steadying the boat.

An enormous wave

washed over us...

and the family's

recipe book was lost.

[Valerie]

It was only a dream, Papa.

dd [Continues]

Please, God,

may we always go on singing.

[Chuckles,

Gently Closes Door]

[Latin]

I invoke the right

for the first night.

Shh.

Don't be frightened.

We're already doomed to hell.

We might as well enjoy it.

[Narrator] Success came quickly

to my grandfather.

He became a judge,

fulfilling a childhood dream.

[Pounding Gavel]

In the name of the Emperor,

I hereby call this trial to order.

[Snaps Shutter]

[Emmanuel] When you

sit in judgment of people,

never forget who you are.

And to help you

remember...

This was your

grandfather's watch.

It's the watch of a village

tavern keeper.

Now it's yours.

[Watch Ticking]

dd [Chiming]

dd [Chiming Continues]

And this...

is for your desk.

"Take nothing on trust.

See everything for yourself.

This is your father's advice."

[Valerie Sighing]

[Valerie Gasping]

- What?

- I was wondering how it would be...

making love with

a district court judge.

You're judging a judge?

Your verdict, please.

[Laughing]

The judge is a hard man.

His sentences

are often stiff,

but always passionate.

The verdict

is a life sentence.
