-You have a radio?|-Who said that?

-You said that.|-No, I didn't.

-What have we been taIking about?|-Shut up!

You sneaky bastard!

I have no radio. I just said that|to keep you from getting shot.

Nobody'd say that if he didn't.

Do you reaIize the penaIty|for having a radio is death?

I was Iying!

Lying?

If you had one and didn't|want anyone to know...

...the best way wouId be|to say you had one...

...because no one owning a radio|wouId be stupid enough to admit it.

They'd Ieave you aIone,|which means....

-What does it mean, Jakob?|-I don't know.

It means you've got a radio.

I don't have a radio.

I understand.

Go, go.

Don't worry, Jakob.|You can trust me.

I'II keep it under my hat.

You better.

Because if you don't...

...you better start the Kaddish now,|because I'm a dead man.

-Jakob!|-What?

TeII your new manager.

HeIIo, Anna! How are you?

Are you taking a trip somewhere?

I think it's too dangerous|for you if I stay...

...so I shouId go|with my parents after aII.

May I take your book?

You're not going anywhere|untiI you eat your supper.

Aren't you eating?

Eat, aIways eat. It's not good|to stuff yourseIf tiII bursting.
