The Marriage of Maria Braun Page #6

---

The lady's asleep.

Perhaps you could -

Incredible.

What did you tell him?

I said you were Karl Oswald

of textile fame,

that you like to travel,

and that you want to use

the time to think.

- Where did you learn such good English?

- In bed.

May I invite you to the dining car?

That's a very good idea.

I have something to discuss with you.

A business matter.

And after three months,

if we find we don't get along -

I'd be answerable

to no one but you?

No one.

You'll get along fine

with Senkenberg and the other men.

Are there no women?

Not in top positions.

Not yet, anyway.

Good. Then I'll be the first.

We've managed very well

without them up to now.

Senkenberg, you're being rude.

Forget it.

Caution is the better part of valor.

- That's right.

- Thank you.

And what is my exact title?

Let's say...

personal adviser.

How personal?

That depends on

the personal adviser's

abilities and initiative.

- Really?

- Really.

I told you about our venture

with the Americans.

Don't forget:

It's always about money.

However you meant that, Senkenberg,

you're perfectly right.

Let him talk.

Senkenberg's an affable person,

as am I.

Well, I'm not.

- Hermann will be sad about the baby.

- I'm not so sure.

- Hermann will be sad about the baby.

- I'm not so sure.

Dr. Konrad Adenauer

adamantly rejected rumors

that he was in favor

of creating a West German army.

- You don't have any experience.

- She'll learn.

Don't move out!

Who will take care of you?

"We do not wish to take part

in a new war, "he said.

I need my own apartment. I have so much

to do before Hermann gets out.

"We have had enough dead.

Too many young people have perished. "

I don't understand you.

Maria is not like you.

"It must be made clear

once and for all

that I am against German rearmament

and the formation

of a new German army. "

Will you be earning enough?

Here is an excerpt from

Dr. Adenauer's speech:

"If it is asserted

that, under my authority,

the rearmament of Germany

will take place,

I can only reply that

this assertion is pure fabrication. "

I'm sorry, Betti.

I guess I've changed a lot.

Looking at you,

nobody could tell

what you've been through.

- She didn't mean it that way.

- I'll take care of that.

- Maybe what Betti says is true.

- What?

That Oswald's really after Maria.

Do you understand now

why I have to move out of here?

And now for our program

of musical requests.

We begin with the song

"When the Bells Do Brightly Ring."

Were you very sad?

Yes, but it was a consolation

to know you'd be sad, too.

And that I can tell you everything.

And that I'm pleased you don't ask me
