:09:02
may the Holy Virgin
protect you from such heartache!
:09:07
The things you say!
:09:11
l'm a married woman.
:09:15
You shouldn't say things like that.
:09:18
lt's out of place.
:09:21
lt's unseemly.
:09:29
Oh, ma'am....
:09:41
Tell me...
:09:43
how do you imagine a ministry?
:09:46
A ministry?
:09:50
That can mean two things.
:09:52
lt may mean clever, distinguished men
who govern the country...
:09:57
or it could be a building, a palazzo.
:10:01
Would you like to live in such a palazzo?
:10:05
l mean...
:10:07
in such a ministry?
:10:09
Heavens above, Geert!
:10:11
They haven't made you a minister?
:10:14
Gieshuebler said something of the kind.
:10:17
And the prince is all-powerful.
:10:21
He's done it at last...
:10:25
and l'm only 18!
:10:32
No, Effi, not a minister.
:10:34
We haven't come that far yet.
:10:36
To tell the truth...
:10:39
we won't even live in a ministry...
:10:41
but l'll be going to one every day.
:10:46
And you'll be the wife of
a leading official and live in Berlin...
:10:51
Soon, you'll hardly remember...
:10:53
you once lived in Kessin...
:10:55
with only Gieshuebler...
:10:58
and the dunes...
