I haven't yet found a publisher for the second.
Has it sold simply thousands?
About 300, actually.
shall sell by the million.
About you?
Of course, darling. Jean Ross.
Woman of mystery.
I'm not sure you're that mysterious.
Do you know,
I think we're going to get along famously.
You will write about me, won't you, darling?
Maybe.
One can't afford to wait, sweetie.
This whole thing is about to collapse
around our ears.
Carpe diem, darling.
Oh, damn. I suppose I better go
and meet the old goat.
to Max Reinhardt.
I don't believe him for a second.
Why are men always such beasts, darling?
Chris, could you be an angel
and lend me ten marks?
I... I haven't got a bean for the taxi.
She said his underpants were like camel hair.
The sort of thing John the Baptist might wear.
You're very quiet.
Touch of sunstroke.
You know, coming to Berlin
is the first honest thing I've done in my life.
And it's all thanks to you.
I doubt your mother sees it quite like that.
He's rather lovely, don't you think?
Caspar.
So, tell me, have you come to Berlin
to sample the culture?
I wouldn't quite say that.
In fact, I'm rather anti-culture.
- Like the Nazis?
- Oh, no.
Not in that way. It's just I'm rather put off
by culture worshippers.
I find them somewhat precious
and prone to gushing.
Do you find me somewhat precious
and prone to gushing?
No, I'm sure you're not.
But the danger is that one can use
culture worship as a substitute
for engaging with the messy business of living.
See, I find all this so very interesting.
You are a writer, but do not like culture.
It is my belief that culture raises us
from the beasts.
I wonder, Herr Landauer,
why you've employed me to teach you English.
You seem to speak it perfectly well.
One has to - how do you say? - Keep in practice.
Good.
What exactly is it that you do?
I am a shopkeeper.
A shopkeeper?
That is precisely what I am.
As in Landauer's Department Store?
Yes.
That's where I buy my socks.
Do you engage in politics, Herr Isherwood?
Actually, no. I'm not really much of a joiner.
I seem to be constitutionally incapable
of bringing myself to the required er...
...pitch of enthusiasm.
I have my sympathies, of course.
We can no longer afford the luxury of sympathy.
I rather suspect
I'm best equipped to observe and record.
That will not be an option.
When the Nazis come to power
we must take to the streets.
Not only Jews like myself,
but all of us, Herr Isherwood.
We must take to the streets and stay there,
even when the storm troopers start firing.
I'm not sure I'd hack it as a street fighter.
Forgive me, but are you not then as guilty
