l want to see if l can hear it.

-Hear what?

-Him.

Him.

Listen to you. What ego.

lt could be a girl.

lf it is l am already jealous.

lf any young men come

around here after her...

...they'll have to fight me.

l'm like an old wolf.

l'm king until l'm killed.

l want to see if l can hear him.

Him, them, she, they.

lf you hear anything, you let me know.

l've got a bloody packet coming

back from the doctor.

You don't understand, do you?

l got rid of it.

Listen, Fritsche...

...you don't want to be a father 9 to 5.

You wouldn't last a day of it.

Besides...

...who wants to marry some damned

Pole? They're like stray dogs.

You never know where

they're sleeping.

Darling.

Now, look, l had to live with it.

Are you all right?

Come in.

Pay attention.

He's involved in something

we can't tell you about.

You're to be silent.

You haven't seen him.

You don't know where he is.

What happened to you?

There.

What is it?

He isn't going to prison, is he?

You can see him again in a few weeks,

if you keep silent.

-What did he do to you?

-Nothing.

-Do you want a doctor?

-No.

l didn't think he was serious...

...until he hit me.

Doesn't look very good

for the future, does it?

l'll send someone.

Don't worry.

Hey, you, why did you hit her?

-What's your name?

-You can't have it.

-lt's a breach of security.

-Look...

...l am risking my life for you,

so l want a name.

Give me a name, l don't care,

any name!

-John.

-John.

John.

-You got a kid?

-Yes.

A boy.

What's he good for?

Good for walking in the park,

following dogs, collecting junk.

So you got the wife, you got the kid,

you got the job you believe in.

Well, you tell me what the hell

there is for me.

-She loves you.

-l did not love her, l loved the baby!

And she murdered it!

She's lucky l didn't kill her!

Go upstairs, will you?

Look, she loves you, she really does.

She wants another child, she told me.

You tell me how l'm to get rid of this.

Come on. Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

John? Where are you?

No, don't tell me, l don't care.

Just come back when you can.

Yes.

Asleep.

Good night.

Was she at home?

Did you know that they danced

on the eve of Waterloo?

-So?

-Well....

-We should have some girls.

-There l can't help you.

A married man is a foreigner

in his own town.

Come on.

-When's your birthday?

-February 1 4th.

Aquarius.

l see black wings beating

all around you.

You poor, stupid Pole.

You came here for the baby,

and now she's got rid of it.

lt's all right.

l will go anyway.

l want the asylum, so l'll go.

lt's all right.

lt's not bloody well all right.
