To Be or Not to Be Page #4

Tomorrow at 2:
00 at my home.

No, I'd better meet you

right at the airport.

Goodbye.

I hope you forgive me

if I acted a little clumsy...

but this is the first time

I ever met an actress.

Lieutenant, this is the first time

I've ever met a man...

who could drop three tons of dynamite

in two minutes. Bye.

Bye.

Tomorrow at 2:
00,

I'm gonna look down on Warsaw.

He's gonna take me up

10,000 feet in the air.

There's nothing wrong in that, is there?

No, not at all.

As long as Tura doesn't find out.

After all, what a husband doesn't know

won't hurt his wife.

It happened.

What every actor dreads.

What, darling? What?

Someone walked out on me.

Tell me, Maria, am I losing my grip?

Of course not, darling. I'm so sorry.

But he walked out on me.

Maybe he didn't feel well.

Maybe he had to leave.

Maybe he had a sudden heart attack.

I hope so.

- lf he stayed, he might have died.

Maybe he's dead already.

Darling, you're so comforting.

What's going on?

- Hitler's speaking to the Reichstag.

How do you do, Mr. Dobosh?

- How do you do, Doctor?

This is Dr. Voyawski

from the Foreign Office.

How do you do, gentlemen?

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.

The government feels it would be unwise

to go on with this play.

What?

You mean, we cannot open tonight?

I'm afraid that's what it comes down to.

- But why?

We all have a right to know.

- I know the play has artistic value.

It has much more than that.

That's exactly what the government

is afraid of.

It might offend Hitler.

Well, wouldn't that be too bad.

Have you ever read what he says

about us? Do you ever listen to him?

I'm sorry, gentlemen,

but the order is final.

Joseph Tura and Maria Tura

GESTAPO:

CHANGE OF PROGRAM

Tonight "HAMLET"

"To be, or not to be."

"That is..."

"That is the question!"

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind"

"To suffer the slings and arrows

of outrageous fortune..."

Anna, I'd like to speak to

Mrs. Tura alone.

Now look, Stanislav, I usually

tell my maid when to leave the room.

I have so much to tell you.

When we're in the plane, we can't talk.

When we're in the tearoom,

we can't do anything but talk.

When we're in the dressing room,

we must be very careful of my makeup.

You know, Maria,

the other day in the plane...

you didn't think I was watching

but I saw you looking at me.

It was a very sympathetic look, I thought.

I had the feeling you like me.

Was I wrong?

No, not at all, Stanislav.

Tell me, Maria. Be

frank. You still like me?

Well, of course.

You still like me, huh?

You think you'll always like me?

I don't see any reason why not.

That's wonderful.

What are we going to do

with your husband?

What?
