:13:03
- It's the first rule in the art of governing.
- Enough. I understand.
:13:07
That means, it doesn't seem practical
to put everything in Frederick's hands...
:13:12
even that which is Martin's.
:13:17
He's your son, Sophie.
:13:19
Must I always be the one
to remind you of that?
:13:38
I can't believe it's possible.
:13:41
- When?
- Soon, Frederick.
:13:45
Much sooner than you think.
:13:56
And Aschenbach?
:13:59
Aschenbach is against it.
But what does that mean?
:14:03
He, too, will find himself faced
with a fait accompli.
:14:05
Can't you understand
that you count more than he does by now?
:14:09
Aschenbach produces words.
:14:12
You produce cannons.
:14:14
It's the one thing that carries weight,
believe me...
:14:17
above all, to the chancellery.
:14:20
The decree, Frederick. Don't you think so?
:14:24
Frederick von Essenbeck.
:14:39
Power. All the power or nothing.
:14:42
Remember?
:14:45
Then we'll get married. Very soon.
:14:49
You and I together, forever.
:14:59
And Martin?
