So what do I care?

The Red Army is there tonight.|ProbabIy even cIoser by now.

StaIin toId you this news personaIIy?

In absoIute confidence,|just between you and me...

...and Rosa and Mrs. Frankfurter...

...and Avron and Judith, and....

Jakob Heym toId me.

Jakob Heym, the iIIustrious|pancake vendor.

If he said it, it must be true.

He's got a radio.

PIease, don't teII anyone.|It couId be dangerous for him.

And you never said anything about it.

You've been Iistening to a radio!

Don't worry, it has no pIug.

Now I'II reduce it to spIinters.

CIose the door.

We couIdn't Iisten to it|for a moment?

Excuse me.

What happens when the Gestapo finds|the pancake vendor has a radio?

They wiII search the ghetto.|What wiII they find? This radio.

I'II say that I never Iistened to it.|They'II shoot me anyway.

For an encore, they'II hang me in|the square, next to that idiot Heym!

Morning!

-Great morning, Jakob.|-Good to see you, good to see you.

So what's new?

Nothing much, you know.|Kvart's wife Ieft him.

Under the circumstances,|seems a bit pointIess.

That's too bad.

You know, women.|Since Adam.

You don't say.

Can you keep my hair from faIIing out?

How Iong have we been friends?

What does that have to do|with my hair?

Do you have that green stuff?

You come every day for a free shave|and never mentioned a radio.

What radio? I have radios|Iike I have potatoes.

-Everybody knows you got a radio.|-What do you mean, everybody knows?

It's traveIIing at Ieast as fast|as the news about Kvart's wife.

ReaIIy? So by the evening,|the Gestapo wiII know.

You stiII have that rope?|I may need it.

Mischa says the Russians kiIIed|so many Germans...

...their tanks crossed the river|on their bodies.

-Did Mischa say that?|-Yes, he did. Is this true?

Is it?

I want you to be the first to know|I'm engaged to Rosa.

-Mazel tov!|-Thank you.

But what about our news?

I onIy toId famiIy and friends|and Frankfurter.

Jakob, you need a partner?

You need a partner, Jakob?

He is my partner!

No! I work with SamueI.

I'm your partner, Jakob. Me.

Stop. I know bubkes.

How many kiIometres|did they make today?

Get off my back.

Excuse me. Your friend Jakob,|did he teII you about the front Iine?

WeII, he asked me not to say.
