Vitus Page #2

---

- You're even more charming than your son.

- Well that's not really hard.

- Where's Vitus?

- ln his room.

Are you getting dressed up?

- l'm not into costume parties.

- Let's get away grandpa.

That's impossible. You're the host.

Have a pleasant evening.

- You have a nice place here.

- A typical 1930's house.

lt's going to be pulled down soon,

that's why the rent is low.

To go public at the right moment

could be a stroke of genius.

You want to go public with Phonaxis?

l have a feeling that our "Cat-Ear"

will attract a lot of speculators.

lt's either boom, or bust.

- l do feel optimistic.

- But l'm still against going public.

The stakes are too high.

Mr. von Holzen, you are either

our saviour... Or our ruin.

l hope l'm not either of them.

- Nick, take a look at that buffet!

- Yes, just help yourself.

Thanks, we know how it works.

Why does he hate me?

Because your wife is more beautiful.

- True.

- You'll talk him 'round.

l'm not musical at all.

My godson, however, is very musical.

- Really?

- Yes, it's incredible.

That's interesting. My husband

wanted to become a pianist.

- Really.

- lt was a long time ago.

Oh, excuse me. Do you play the piano?

- No, our son does.

- Oh, a talented family.

But surely not these difficult notes?

Yes, he has a good teacher and he's

been taking lessons for six months.

For six months? You don't

believe that yourself!?

He doesn't play like a maestro.

- Would you play something for us?

- No.

Come on, only one piece.

We'd all be delighted.

What does he play?

Robert Schumann's "Wild Rider".

What a sweet little chap!

You can sense that he's musical.

Beautiful...

Extraordinary. A real wunderkind.

l've never seen anything like it.

He's only 6, but we do hope...

Well, he didn't get it from me...

They've told us that his IQ

is so high it's incalculable.

But l don't know much about it.

l'm too stupid.

l've been telling Leo that we

are raising a real talent here.

Do you remember the

horoscope l did for Vitus?

You carry a huge responsibility.

Especially as his mother...

lf you know what l mean?

All of the world's great pianists...

...were so-called

wunderkind in their childhood.

No exception.

You really have to foster his talents.

The earlier the better. He should

go straight to the conservatory.

You don't just owe this to

your son. But also to music.

Now the world knows we

have a real wunderkind.

And a cheeky little monkey.

Maybe Knaak was right. We

have to foster his talents.

What he doesn't learn now,

he may never learn.

We shouldn't put pressure on him.

Otherwise he might do the opposite.

lt won't work without a little

pressure. Vitus needs that.
