[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [offset:0] [00:01.32]Dear Herr Stiefel... [00:02.48]Moritz, I've spent the entire day thinking about your note. [00:06.83]Truly, it touched me, it did, that you'd think of me as a friend. [00:10.83]Of course, I was saddened to hear that [00:13.10]your exams came off rather less well [00:14.92] than you'd hoped and that you will not be promoted, come fall. [00:18.52]And yet, I must say straightaway, [00:20.66]that fleeing to America is hardly the solution. [00:23.99]And even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request... [00:28.13]Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine [00:29.59]Not like it's even worth the time [00:31.90]But still, you know, you wanted more [00:33.91]Sorry, it won't change—been there before [00:38.37]You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel, [00:40.77]to read into my refusal any lack of affection. [00:44.71]On the contrary, as Melchior's mother, [00:48.59]I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss of... [00:53.14]The thing that sucks—okay?—for me [00:54.63]A thousand bucks, I'm like, scot-free [00:56.55]And I mean, please...that's all I need [00:58.51]Get real, Jose—by now you know the score [01:02.15]Should you like, I am ready to write to your parents. [01:05.86]I will try to convince them that [01:10.39]no one could have worked harder last semester, [01:10.75]and also that too rigorous a condemnation of [01:14.29]your current misfortune [01:15.66]could have the gravest possible effect on... [01:18.00]You wanna laugh, it's too absurd [01:21.28]You start to ask, can't hear a word [01:25.43]You're gonna crash and burn [01:28.44]Right, tell me more [01:32.41]Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me. [01:36.83]Your—what shall we call it?— [01:39.96]veiled threat that, should escape not be possible, [01:44.29]you would take your own life... [01:46.50]Okay so, now we do the play [01:48.23]Act like we so care—no way [01:50.36]You'll write my folks? Well, okay [01:52.44]Babe, that's how it goes [01:57.16]My dear boy, the world is filled with men— [02:00.06]businessmen, scientists, scholars even— [02:03.31]who have done rather poorly in school, [02:05.92]and yet gone on to brilliant careers. [02:08.81]Consider, for example, our friend, Leopold... [02:11.35]They'll freak, or won't—you toe the line [02:14.57]You tell your soul, "Just kill some time" [02:18.43]Will it quit? It will until they don't [02:25.33]They're not my home, not anymore [02:31.76]Not like they so were before [02:35.57]Still, I'll split, and they'll, like [02:39.07]Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows... [02:48.72]In any case, I assure you that your present misfortune [02:51.61]will have no effect on my feelings for you, [02:54.46]or on your relationship with Melchior... [02:57.19]Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine [02:58.92]Not like it's even worth the time [03:00.67]But still, you know, you wanted more [03:02.65]Okay, so nothing's changed... [03:04.40]...heard that before [03:07.09]You wanna laugh, it's too absurd [03:10.92]You start to ask, can't hear a word [03:15.19]You wanna crash and burn... [03:17.99]...right, tell me more [03:21.00]You start to cave, you start to cry [03:25.41]You try to run, nowhere to hide [03:29.65]You want to crumble up and close that door [03:35.49]So, head high, Herr Stiefel. [03:37.27]And do let me hear from you soon. [03:39.22]In the meantime, I am unchangingly [03:41.96]and most fondly yours, Fanny Gabor [03:46.25]Just fuck it—right? Enough, that's it [03:48.51]You'll still go on—well, for a bit [03:50.42]Another day of utter shit— [03:52.43]And then there were none [03:58.02]And then there were none... [04:01.21]And then there were none... [04:05.65]And then there were none...
