- Go away, please. You are annoying.
- You don't like to see me enjoying myself.
1:08:06
When a man's working himself to death,
that's what he's paid for.
1:08:09
You don't care if a man
can live on his wages or not.
1:08:12
You have a very regular scale of wages,
and there's the sick fund for you.
1:08:16
What a scale, and what a fund.
1:08:19
When I was sick for four weeks...
1:08:21
you wrote me a letter
telling me Id be discharged...
1:08:23
if I were sick any longer.
1:08:25
Did you write me that letter or not?
1:08:27
I have no idea of the letters that I write.
1:08:30
I know that you are here
in the Grand Hotel, living like a lord.
1:08:33
You are probably an embezzler.
1:08:36
- An embezzler!
- Yes, an embezzler.
1:08:38
You are going to take that back!
1:08:40
Right here in the presence
of this young lady!
1:08:43
Who do you think you're talking to?
You think Im dirt?
1:08:46
If Im dirt, you're a lot dirtier...
1:08:48
Mr. Industrial Magnate Preysing!
1:08:51
- You're discharged. Get out!
- You can't do that to him.
1:08:54
I don't know the man or what he wants.
I never saw him before.
1:08:57
I know you.
1:08:58
I've kept your books for you,
and I know all about you.
1:09:01
If one of your employees
was half as stupid in a small way...
1:09:05
- as you are in a big way...
- What do you mean?
1:09:08
Gentlemen, please! Please!
1:09:10
Stop that!
1:09:13
- You're discharged! Do you hear?
- Wait!
1:09:19
You can't discharge me.
I'm my own master...
1:09:24
for the first time in my life.
1:09:27
You can't discharge me. I'm sick.
1:09:31
I'm going to die. You understand?
1:09:34
I'm going to die, and nobody
can do anything to me anymore.
1:09:38
Nothing can happen to me anymore.
1:09:41
Before I can be discharged, Ill be dead!
1:09:48
The man's crazy.
I don't know him. He's annoying.
1:09:53
- Baron!
- Excuse me.
1:09:55
- What is it? What's happened to him?
- He's ill.
1:09:58
- I'm sorry, Baron.
- Poor old Kringelein. You're all right.
