:06:01
- Yes, Baron.
- Thanks very much.
:06:03
Good evening. My key, 168.
:06:05
- Good evening, Mr. Pimenov.
- Good evening, Baron.
:06:07
- How is the beautiful lady?
- Grusinskaya?
:06:10
To tell the truth, Baron,
tonight we're a little bit nervous.
:06:13
Were you at the theater last night?
:06:14
I'm always there
when Grusinskaya dances.
:06:17
- Last night was not so good.
- I thought she was splendid.
:06:22
Is Mr. Preysing in? I'm Dr. Zinnowitz.
:06:24
- Mr. Preysing. Visitor.
- Mr. Preysing.
:06:26
- Here you are.
- Sorry to have kept you waiting.
:06:28
Waiting? I've been waiting for news
from Manchester.
:06:31
- No news yet?
- No news.
:06:32
That's bad. You can't hold out unless
you merge with the Saxonia company.
:06:36
- I know.
- The Saxonia company will never sign...
:06:38
unless your firm is tied up
with the Manchester people.
:06:41
They don't have to. I told you that.
:06:43
Yes, I know. I'm very much worried.
But I have my agent in Manchester.
:06:47
I'm expecting a telegram any minute.
:06:49
You have to create a good impression.
Seem optimistic.
:06:52
Don't even mention Manchester
to the Saxonia crowd. Be clever.
:06:55
No, I cannot do that, Dr. Zinnowitz.
:06:58
I'm used to making my deals
on a solid basis.
:07:00
I'm an honest businessman,
a good husband and a father.
:07:03
I have nothing to conceal.
I could not live happily otherwise.
:07:07
Yes, I know.
We'll go someplace and talk it over.
:07:09
I'm expecting a stenographer.
:07:11
Send her to Mr. Preysing's room. 166.
:07:13
Yes, Dr. Zinnowitz.
:07:15
- Letters for me?
- No, Doctor.
:07:17
- Telegrams?
- No, Doctor.
:07:21
He always seems to be waiting
for something...
:07:23
but it never happens.
:07:24
- No messages?
- No, Doctor.
:07:27
Yes, I was in the war.
:07:28
- Your bill, Baron.
- You're not beginning that again, are you?
:07:31
Please pay some attention to me.
I've no time.
:07:33
Kindly wait one moment, sir.
:07:35
- Has anyone asked for me?
- No, Doctor.
:07:38
We're holding the rooms now.
Five bedrooms, two sitting rooms.
:07:41
- How many in your party?
- Let me see. My mother, two sisters...
:07:44
- Really, this is an imposition.
- Sir, kindly wait one moment, please.
:07:47
- That makes nine.
- Yes, madam.
:07:49
- You wish to have the rooms held?
- Yes, please. And then...
:07:52
Really, I won't wait any longer.
I've been here a very long time.
:07:56
That's all right.
:07:57
Look here, I waited three days
before I got a room at all.
