World goodbye - I'm tired of you.

I want to go heavenwards.

there will be real

peace and

eternal tranquillity of

mind.

This house deserves its

misfortune.

I know very well what

I'm saying.

God punishes where His

commandments are acted against.

Stop now.

You're an old man, you don't

understand the world any more.

Go home.

That's how children speak to

their parents today. Age is

no longer respected, experience

and knowledge are a nuisance.

No, Geesche, like this

you'll never rest.

Rest, Father, that is death.

I...want to live,

I cannot long to rest,

Father.

I've never know a woman

speak like this before.

What have I done to deserve

my very child

to confront her father in

such a blasphemous way?

I'm not confronting you,

I have an opinion.

The woman who has an opinion

of her own is ignorant of

the laws that forbid this.

And you, Gottfried, have you

nothing to say to me?

Your silence is significant

enough.

You have settled down in

this business,

make use of the advantage

which it brings you,

you live off it and well.

That which you ought to do,

offer to marry the woman

who made it possible

for you to live so comfortably,

you are not all that

intereted in this woman's life.

You're turning my daughter

into a whore,

she is too stupid to see this,

but you are a man and have

mental powers. What you are

doing is called, with morals

at heart:
crime.

Don't interrupt.

Haven't you anything to say

to my speech?

I still strongly believe you

to be a man of honour.

Leave it, Father, please.

He will decide if he can.

He isn't ready yet

to live with tight bonds.

Is this a man, who lets a

woman's mouth explain for him?

Let us adjust our life as

we may.

We shall obey the laws,

certainly.

I don't wish to continue talking

where it's so hopeless as here.

With so little respect for

morals in the heads of two

people, there'll be one sorrow

and one pain after the other.

But I wish that the tears

which shall flow from your

eyes will make you think.

As long as things haven't

been put right

in this house you have no

father, don't forget that.

Now you're all alone in

this world, my child,

for this person only

uses you,

he is not willing to give.

Forgive him, Michael.

The sorrow of the last years

has disturbed his mind.

It has made him injust.

His son in law first, his wife,

and now two grandchildren.

obstinacy develops.

Forgive him, please.

I have already forgiven him.

Certainly.

Basically...

what Father says is correct.

What do you mean?

I mean, basically...

if we, you and I...

were to marry?

No, Geesche. Not now,

and to be quite honest,

maybe never.

I no longer know where I am
