Well, you wanted to talk to me.

What's up?

Jenny was here.

- Because of Rosenfeld?

- Yup.

And you are the only one who can still help.

So, gentlemen, anyone want to break training?

Captain, how about a little maneuver?

With pleasure.

What great luck.

What do you mean?

I was talking about the luck I've had.

The first night in Berlin and already with ladies of the theater.

- That what I call luck.

- Here's a little more luck.

Jenny knows the chief physician at the police hospital.

Declares people as dead and sends

them out at night in a coffin.

Costs ten thousand.

Already made the arrangements.

She wants to try to go with

him out of the country.

Sound good but how will

they cross the border?

- Jenny learned to fly with you.

- Yes, that is a possibility.

But that would be at night.

Would she be able to do that?

For him, she'll do anything.

- Korrianke!

- I'm here.

Come!

Ah, here you are.

I searched all over the house.

I want to dance with you.

I'll be right there.

Excuse me.

I think I interrupted something.

General?

Ladies!

There is nothing more to drink.

See ya'.

...remember Professor Rosenfeld, the surgeon?

The one who patched me up

when I smashed into a tree?

Remember his wife who I taught to fly?

A charming person, General.

- A blond.

- Silence.

You will come get them tomorrow.

- Where?

- Here.

- When?

- Tomorrow night.

At ten o'clock.

For the professor, bring with you...

...one of my old jackets and a cap.

...and for the lady some old

overalls and an aviator's cap.

Say nothing.

- Looking for your glass?

- Looking for a girl.

- Here there are many.

- Someone in particular.

- Who?

- I do not know.

I only exchanged glances with her.

But there was ...

In the midst of all the excitement

and conversation...

...hers was a clear and clean presence.

You mean you fell in love again?

Yes...

She seemed ...

Wait...like drinking a fine wine.

A "Wehlener Sonnenuhr"...

...on a beautiful Sunday morning.

What year was the harvest?

The very best, a '21..

In this case, one can only say "health" so to speak.

Why do you think she would be here?

She was with you in the hallway at Otto's.

Ah, you're speaking of Diddo.

Diddo, come here.

I present to you General Harras.

This is my niece Diddo.

She's been living with me for six weeks

but you come here so little.

My sister would not let her

stay in Berlin. Says it's dangerous.

- She is in fact only 21.

- I see.

But I promised to take very

good care of her, Harras.

- Tell me, you heard all that?

- Yup.

That nonsense about "Wehlener Sonnenuhr" on a Sunday morning?

Yes.

- And you did not laugh?

- No.

Because you think the old man
