:08:00
When I finally got one,
what kind of a room was it?
:08:03
- A very nice room, and inexpensive.
- I didn't ask you for a cheap room.
:08:06
When I came here to live,
did I ask you for a cheap room? Did l?
:08:10
- If you wait one moment, sir...
- I can't wait.
:08:13
Every day is precious. Every hour...
:08:15
- 176?
...every minute is precious.
:08:17
I came to live here for two weeks,
maybe three. Heaven only knows.
:08:22
I can pay whatever you want.
I'm tired and ill. I can't wait.
:08:26
- The gentleman has a complaint?
- He is dissatisfied with Room 559.
:08:30
Yes, I have a complaint.
I think it's a perfectly fair complaint.
:08:33
I came here from a great distance
to live at the Grand Hotel.
:08:36
I want a room, a big room.
:08:39
The same kind of room
you'd give General Director Preysing.
:08:43
I'm as good as Mr. Preysing.
:08:46
I can pay for a room
the same as Mr. Preysing.
:08:49
Would you stick him way off
in a corner in a little room...
:08:52
where the water pipes go "pop" all day?
:08:55
He can have my room.
It doesn't matter where I stay.
:08:58
That won't be necessary, Doctor.
:08:59
Mr. Kringelein will take Room 176.
It's one of our most expensive rooms.
:09:03
A large room on the front, and with a bar.
:09:06
- With a private bar, exclusively mine.
- Certainly, sir.
:09:10
Exactly what I want. That's very kind.
I'll pay for it now.
:09:13
- No, I beg of you, sir.
- Pardon me, sir.
:09:16
You dropped your little hat.
:09:19
- Permit me.
- Thank you.
:09:21
Permit me. My name is Kringelein,
from Friedersdorf.
:09:25
- Yes. I'm Baron von Geigern.
- A Baron.
:09:29
Permit me to present Dr. Otternschlag.
:09:32
A doctor. Doctor, Im ill.
:09:35
I know. When a man's collar
is an inch too big for him, I know he's ill.
:09:40
I must go and dress now.
:09:41
- I hope to see you at the theater.
- Surely, sir.
:09:43
- Is this gentleman a baron, too?
- Unfortunately, no.
:09:47
- Will Mr. Kringelein kindly sign here?
- I have signed once.
:09:54
- Have you a minute?
- I told you not to come into the lobby.
:09:57
Time's getting short.
:09:58
Haven't I told you not talk to me
with a cigarette in your mouth?
