All of a sudden, I heard steps
behind me and someone said:

:47:05
"Wait a moment".
It was Kinski.

:47:07
He took me in
his arms, and he said:

:47:09
"Eva, I know exactly how you feel."
:47:11
That was so wonderful.
It did me a lot of good.

:47:15
I really needed that,
and he was there.

:47:18
He went to the hotel with me,
holding me the entire time...

:47:21
...and he simply knew.
:47:23
When I got to Cannes, I received,
I guess erroneously...

:47:31
No, you deserved it!
:47:33
...this prize. I received it and not
Klaus. I went to him and said:

:47:39
"Well, what do you think
about my getting this prize?"

:47:43
And he said: "Eva, I think only
of that walk we took together...

:47:47
...from the location to the hotel,
when you cried so."

:47:52
That was great. He was sitting
in the audience, applauding me...

:47:58
...and he said: "Finally you're
wearing a georgeous dress!"

:48:04
I had told him beforehand.
If they do give a prize...

:48:10
...it would have to be a joint one,
for him, as well. And he said:

:48:15
"I don't care about that scum!
Why should I receive a prize?

:48:21
I know that I'm a genius!
:48:24
And on and on.
I said: "We all know that.

:48:26
You never need to get a prize.
It just compromises you...

:48:32
...and drags you to the same level
of the media, this whole circus."

:48:37
That did him a lot of good.
He was very loving with me then.

:48:43
He kissed me on the mouth and
held me for a long time...

:48:48
...and was all broken up and
very deeply touched.

:48:51
There were quite a few
moments like that between us.

:48:55
It's always difficult to explain that
he also had great human warmth...
