My name is Bebra.
:46:05
Directly descended
from Prince Eugene...

:46:11
Whose father was Louis XIV...
:46:15
and not some Savoyard,
as has been claimed.

:46:19
I stopped my growth
on my tenth birthday.

:46:26
Better late than never.
:46:33
Tell me, my dear Oskar.
:46:35
How old are you?
Fourteen? Fifteen?

:46:37
Twelve and a half.
:46:39
No! And how old
do you think I am?

:46:44
Thirty-five.
:46:48
Flatterer!
:46:53
I shall be 53 in August.
:46:57
I could be your grandfather.
:47:00
- Are you, too, an artist?
- Not really.

:47:03
Although...
:47:15
as you see, I can lay
claim to a certain artistry.

:47:25
You must join us. You must!
:47:28
Do you know, Mr. Bebra...
:47:35
to tell the truth...
:47:37
I prefer to be a
member of the audience...

:47:41
and let my little art
flower in secret.

:47:45
My dear Oskar!
:47:48
Trust an experienced colleague.
:47:51
Our kind must never
sit in the audience.

:47:55
Our kind must perform
and run the show...

:47:58
or the others will run us.
