Budapest...
That's Budapest...
Would you care for anything else?
Tell me...
what is that music?
Goes straight to the heart, doesn't it?
Our house pianist composed it himself
Really! Does the tune have a name?
It's called "Gloomy Sunday"
I take it you're closed on Sundays?
No, we're never closed
I'm Mr. Novak,
director of the Lindstroem Record Company
We'd be honored if you and the composer
would join us later for a glass of champagne
With pleasure
The fact remains: The composer and
the composition are unknown
We'll have to give the radio directors
something so the record gets played
That could be interpreted as bribery
It's only bribery if it's not enough
One could slip something
to someone at the radio station
But it would have to be deducted
from the composer's royalties
Half of it
Pardon?
Half from him
It's an investment, and investments
should be split honestly
Fair enough, that's do-able
Royalties are 6%% %
I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you
You said... 12%% %?
Twelve percent!?
But with an operetta, you have to
pay singers, and the orchestra
If one of those 70 people gets a toothache,
you'd have to postpone the recording
Enough already... eight
Ten
Nine
And it has to say on the label that
"Gloomy Sunday" originated here
- That can be done
- If it fits!
Mr. Schwitz!
So we're agreed
Allow me to go get a very special bottle
Permission granted
Mr. Torresz left his portfolio,
with a note
"The song was lovely
Thanks very much, I must go now"
Thanks are fine, paying is better
He was acting so oddly this evening
Excuse me, Mr. Szabo
You're so worldly,
I'm just a pianist...
Don't say things like "just"
A lot of artists have an impresario,
who gets 10%% % for their trouble
Would you be my manager, for 10%% %?
Please
Mr. Aradi, I can't charge a fee
for helping a friend, now can I?
Thank you, Mr. Szabo
Thank you
Good morning
Were you out celebrating
with the music publishers?
Just a liqueur
More than one, it looks like
Are you here to pick us up?
I wanted to ask you something
You and llona
The record will be made in Vienna
Would you like to come along?
You and llona?
Vienna!
Laszlo, let's go to Vienna!
- That's impossible
- Why?
- We'd have to close the restaurant
- Only for a day!
You could do itjust once, Mr. Szabo
Please... Let's go to Vienna
The three of us, For me
No, I won't close the restaurant
Not even for a day
There'd have to be a real reason
If the great Flood were coming, maybe
- That's Mr. Torresz!
- He hanged himself
The song was lovely
Thanks very much, I must go now
