Come in, Sonnenschein.

Come in.

Sit down.

- Cigar?

- No, thank you.

- You don't smoke?

- Yes, I do smoke.

Then have a cigar.

Go on, please.

Everyone...

speaks highly of you.

They say you're incorruptible

and quite learned.

We're considering you

for the Central Court.

I'm honored, sir,

but perhaps I'm a bit young.

No, not at all.

I must speak frankly with you.

I hope what I say

will not offend you.

It's not possible for the Central

Court to have a presiding judge...

with a name like Sonnenschein.

We'd like to promote you.

We trust you.

We need you...

but you will have to change your

name to something more Hungarian.

- I see.

- Naturally,

this is just friendly advice,

man-to-man.

Nothing like

an official request.

Yes, of course, sir.

At the end of the day,

the decision has to be yours.

Thank you, sir.

I'm honored.

[Door Closes, Echoes]

[Ignatz] What do you think of

when you hear the name Sonnenschein?

[Valerie]

My lover.

- Suppose it's not me?

- Me.

What if it's someone

not related to us?

- Someone Jewish.

- Not necessarily.

Well, definitely not Hungarian.

The Chief Justice told me

I'd have to change my name...

to something more Hungarian if

I want to be a Central Court judge.

What are you going to do?

- [Crying]

- Don't cry, please.

I beg you.

Does this mean you intend

to abandon the faith?

No, Father. I would never.

I swear to you.

Neither would I.

You want to change

your name as well?

Yes, Papa, I do.

- And you?

- Other young doctors have done it.

Not just Jews either.

Slovaks, Serbs.

[Emmanuel]

I see.

Well, names are not

given to us by God.

May I have a second serving

of carp, Mrs. Sonnenschein.

Beautifully prepared.

- What about Solyom?

- Solti?

- Somlo?

- I have it. Sor.

It means the same thing

in Latin and in Hungarian.

"Prophesy, fate,

destiny, task."

Dr. Gustave Sors. Couldn't

we pick a more common name?

Dr. Gustave Sors. Couldn't

we pick a more common name?

Sors is perfect.

[Man] The Minister of the Interior

has approved your application.

The name Dr. Ignatz Sonnenschein

is changed to Dr. Ignatz Sors.

Please sign the declaration.

Dr. Gustave

Sonnenschein,

your name is now

Dr. Gustave Sors.

- Valerie Sors.

- [Chuckles Softly]

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Just cross it out and sign again.

[Laughing]

Good afternoon,

governor.

[Sighs]

We're going to have a baby.

But you're my sister.

I'm hardly your sister.

I'm your cousin.

[Sighs]

My mother will murder me.

Me too.

I love you very much.

[Giggling]

- Sorry I'm late.

- [Ignatz] You're always late.

[Ringing Bell]

My dear Mother and Father,

I have an announcement to make.

I'm asking for Valerie's hand
