Hangmen Also Die! Page #3

What beautiful roses!

Mascha, aren't you going

to introduce me?

Yes, of course. Mister...

- Karel Vanek.

- Won't you please come in, Mr. Vanek?

Come.

Stepan...

Father, I want you to met a friend,

Mr. Vanek.

- Your daughter and I met...

- At the symphony.

My father, Professor Novotny.

- How do you do.

- How do you do.

I had the honor of being introduced

to your daughter at intermission.

I had the score of the symphony with me.

Oh, are you a musician, Mr. Vanek?

No, only a amateur.

I happen to be an architect.

I almost went along with

Mascha that evening...

only at the last minute,

I don't feel too well.

Oh, that's too bad,

but than again...

I wouldn't have had the pleasure of

escorting your daughter home.

Oh, then you live in this district,

Mr. Vanek?

No... no, I just happen to be

in the neighborhood.

Thought I would drop by

and pay my respects.

Young man, did you realize

it was already after 7 o'clock?

I have 6:
30.

The correct time is 7:15. Your watch

must be slow, Mr. Vanek...

And tonight,

that might be dangerous.

Yes, I suppose I better run along.

If you're on the street after 7 o'clock,

they shoot you on sight.

Right, father...

Dinner is ready, lady.

You mustn't think of leaving.

- Millie, set another place, please.

- Yes.

Luckily Mr. Vanek, we prepared

for another guest this evening.

You will join us for dinner,

won't you?

I hardly know what to say...

Don't say anything, Mr. Vanek,

it's quite unnecessary.

Isn't it, Mascha?

Don't be deceived by this china,

Mr. Vanek.

- Turnips again.

- And cabbage.

My husband likes for me

to use this service...

just to retain the memory

of the good old days.

Let me correct you, Helene.

Not in memory of the good old days...

but of the bad new ones.

That is a meat platter.

It contains cabbage.

It should contain meat.

That's why I insist it should be

on the table before us.

I agree with you,

Professor Novotny.

What do you think of the shooting

of Heydrich, Mr. Vanek?

It was completely unexpected,

wasn't it?

It was rather inevitable,

don't you think, Mr. Vanek?

Yes.

Well, we're all very glad that

he managed to escape.

I'll see who it is.

- It was Mrs. Sacha.

- Our janitor.

All males over the age of 13...

must register with the police

before tomorrow night.

Anyone without a police card

will be shot.

That leaves you out, Beda.

Apparently they don't think much

of Czech boys over 11.

Alright. Let them think that.

There may be some news on the radio.

Possibly.

Beda, you can take a recess from that

cabbage and turn on the radio.

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

Beda, you have hardly touched your food.

I prefer bread.

Careful, that's an ersatz,
