for a woman.

It strains your head; your hair

turns grey; causes wrinkles.

I don't like to say it

and know...

what of it...

I shall look for a flat of

my own again.

I can't bear the noise of

the children, Geesche,

I need a wife with whom I

can have children of my own.

I cannot bear to see another

man's children in the house.

There is so much I

cannot bear,

I need a young girl who is

yet inexperienced,

who has little in her brain,

you know,

who is kind and keen.

I'll manage your business as

long as you need me, but...

You said you loved me.

Often.

Yes, Geesche, but...

No! You say you love me,

don't you,

and you say there is so much

you cannot bear?

Yes, Geesche. I love you.

I love your passion,

I value your clever

mind, and yet...

What is there in the world that

is more important that a love?

You find a person whom

you love,

do you think this happens

very often?

It happens so seldom, Michael,

that it makes your hearth sink.

The way of the world is not

determined by love.

As to that, the mind of a

woman is slightly confused.

No, Michael,

the life which one leads

is only bearable with

a home.

A woman's home is her

husband.

You are in despair, Geesche,

you'll regain your composure.

You're beastly. Oh God,

are you beastly!

Believe me,

things are not as black as

they look.

Have you a girl already?

No, but I shall keep my

eyes open,

shall get to know girls,

weigh up.

Those I find too gay I

shall throw away.

Compose yourself. Fortune

shall be assigned to you.

You have money and a business

to bring with, that looks...

The business works,

it yields well,

can increase. You shall meet

someone who

means everything to you.

I love you.

I love your hands,

I want to be caressed by you.

I want to feel you inside me,

I need your passion.

The thought even that

you're leaving

hurts me so deeply.

Have you ever felt the pain

it causes in your stomach

when you're in despair?

Never?

You must get to know it, you

shall see many things differently.

Don't leave me.

Look, Geesche, I'm longing

for a different life.

I'm a man,

a man has desires

which cannot be explained

to a woman.

Can't you understand my longing

for a child of my own.

We can have children of

our own, please!

We are both fertile. What

can prevent us from having a child?

I shouldn't like to see my

children grow up

among those of your husband.

I should like to build them

a home of their own a life

which they can be proud of.

I no longer understand

the world.

Two people love each other

and have no possibility.

You'll be able to forget.

I'm off to town for a drink.

I shan't be long.

Don't go away.
