"...MELITTA LET SLIP THAT YOU'RE A FAMOUS POET...

I HOPE YOUR INCOME CORRESPONDS TO YOUR FAME!"

"YOU'RE RIGHT... ONE HAS TO PAY...

THERE'S A PRICE FOR EVERYTHING!"

"MY SON IS NOT AT HOME..."

"HE NEEDN'T BOTHER TO COME

TO CITY HALL ANY MORE-- ..."

"...HE'S FREE OF THAT CONCERN!"

"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, BROTHER-IN-LOW!

--YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND!"

"CHILDREN, IF WE STUCK TOGETHER

AND HAD THE RIGHT CLOTHES--

WE COULD SET UP A SPLENDID BUSINESS!"

"I... NEED MONEY!"

"MY DEAR CHILD, I DON'T CONCERN MYSELF

WITH YOU LOVE AFFAIRS-- SO PLEASE

DON'T INTERFERE IN MY BUSINESS AFFAIRS!!"

"THE ONLY PERSON WE CAN HIT UP FOR MONEY

IS OLD SCHWABE, THAT'S FOR SURE! ..."

"--HOW ABOUT IF LORENZ OFFERED HER

HIS POET'S ROYALTIES?"

"WELL, MY BOY, PASSING ONESELF OFF A POE HAS CONSEQUENCES-- OR ELSE DO WITHOU THE SUPPORT OF A GULLIBLE AUNT."

"YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE

WHO CAN HELP ME, AUNT SCHWABE! ..."

"...THE WORLD IS CLOSED TO THOSE

THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION

"I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH LORENZ!"

"YOU'RE TALKING TO THE WRONG PERSON!

I HAVEN'T KNOWN WHERE LORENZ IS FOR DAYS NOW."

"AND NOW SHOPPING!

BUY A HUNDRED THOUSAND THINGS--!"

"YOU DON'T SEEM WELL...

I WOULD THINK THAT LORENZ WOULD

HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF YOU."

To Mr. Lorenz Lubota:

It is a fact that you

have been away from work...

...without an excused absence, that

you have frequented and behaved

scandalously in questionable taverns...

...and further, that you have

harassed highly esteemed citizens

of the community.

Moreover, your unqualified behaviour

towards city clerk Hermann Schraat...

...is considered a serious offense

against a public administrator.

In view of the above, you are

desmissed immediately from your

employment with the City...

...and are without claim

to any further wages.

"WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT?

WHY ARE YOU SPYING ON ME? ..."

"...YOU'VE NEVER ONCE SHOWN

ANY CONCERN FOR ME-- WHY SUDDENLY NOW?"

"WHAT DO I WANT HERE? I LENT 60,000 MARKS

TO LORENZ-- AND NOW I'D LIKE TO KNOW

WHAT HE'S USING IT FOR."

"MY LORENZ IS AN HONEST MAN!!

HE CAN ANSWER FOR HIS ACTIONS! ..."

"...REMEMBER THAT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
