The dramatis personae and the actors
who lent their voices to the puppets
7
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,900
Ernst is a legal clerk
and aspiring composer.
8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,350
One day he will become
the great German romantic writer
9
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,620
E.T.A. Hoffmann.
10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,150
In his imagination, Ernst
at times transforms
11
00:01:11,251 --> 00:01:14,101
into the splendid youth Anselmus.
12
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:22,000
Anselmus is hopelessly in love with
the wondrous snake-girl Serpentina.
13
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,739
Serpentina the snake-girl
14
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,290
is the daughter of the good
magician Archivarius Lindhorst.
15
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:34,000
Salamander Lindhorst
is the Royal Privy Archivist,
16
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:38,079
exiled from Atlantis,
and the father of Serpentina.
17
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Olympia is a mysterious
girl of few words.
18
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,140
Allow me to introduce myself,
The Parrot!
19
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,880
The omniscient Parrot of our theatre.
20
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,480
I see...
21
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,280
I see in my dreams a miraculous bird
22
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,840
in the form of a man of proud bearing.
23
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,160
This is Salamander Lindhorst,
a magician and my protector,
24
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,330
the father of beautiful Serpentina.
25
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,960
But Fate has seen fit to test my heart
with tender attraction
26
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,730
to three young damsels.
27
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,980
In this house is my modest cell.
28
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,240
By day I serve in the Chancellery,
29
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,580
but at night
I live wholly in my visions.
30
00:02:57,489 --> 00:03:00,109
It happens at times
that I even fall sleep.
31
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:18,290
I see hidden Atlantis, my poetic dream,
32
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:25,000
and I see myself as Anselmus,
in love with Serpentina.
33
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,030
She first appeared to me
in the Elderberry Tree.
34
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:47,920
Stop! Stop!
35
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:49,789
The Elderberry Tree:
36
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:56,000
the romantic spot where our hero
first saw Serpentina.
37
00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:03,600
Oh, it's so enchanting here!
38
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:14,439
Here and there among the branches,
39
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:18,240
we weave, twist, turn, and dangle.
40
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,519
Sisterkin, sisterkin!
41
00:04:20,679 --> 00:04:22,620
Quick, quick, quick!
42
00:04:23,821 --> 00:04:29,171
Quick, quick, up and down - the
evening sun shoots forth its rays,
43
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:32,440
as the rustling wind
shakes the leaves...
44
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,880
Sister! Sister! Quickly! Sister!
45
00:04:37,239 --> 00:04:41,039
Hey, hey, hey! What's all
this chatter, this whispering?
46
00:04:41,159 --> 00:04:44,960
Enough, enough! You've basked enough,
you've sung enough!
47
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,559
Hey ho, through grass and water,
below we go!
48
00:04:47,679 --> 00:04:50,760
Homeward!
Homeward, homeward!
49
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,639
Oh, if you would once more glitter
and coil and swing on the branches,
50
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,630
my darling golden snakelet!
51
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:01,079
How I love you!
52
00:05:02,119 --> 00:05:06,800
I'll die of grief and agony
if you do not return!
53
00:05:07,159 --> 00:05:10,769
Hey, what is all this
whimpering and whining?
54
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,679
Herr Privy Archivarius?
55
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:15,559
What do you want
from the Elderberry Tree?
56
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,010
Ah! Just now I saw a
golden-green snakelet,
57
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:22,240
eternally beloved of my soul.
58
00:05:22,679 --> 00:05:25,360
She spoke to me in
glorious crystalline tones.
59
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Perhaps you will think me mad, but...
60
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,430
Not at all.
61
00:05:29,719 --> 00:05:33,519
The golden-green snakelets
you saw in the elder bush
62
00:05:34,119 --> 00:05:35,950
were my three daughters.
63
00:05:36,159 --> 00:05:38,509
And it's now quite clear to me
64
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,819
that you have fallen
head-over-heels in love
65
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,700
with the blue eyes of
my youngest, Serpentina.
66
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,910
Oh, Serpentina!
67
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:50,310
Calm thyself, enough for today.
68
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,070
Incidentally, if you decide to work
for me, you could see them quite often.
69
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,280
- Truly? - On the condition
that you perform your work well.
70
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Whatever you command, Herr Archivarius!
71
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,859
This is no good.
Coming late to the Chancellery!
72
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,560
- Greens, greens, fresh greens!
- Apples! Pies!
73
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Flee, devils' spawn! But beware!
74
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:31,650
You'll end up under glass! Under glass!
75
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Ah! Distant, distant childhood!
76
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,119
Under glass... accursed witch!
77
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,910
You awakened within me
the terrors of my distant childhood.
78
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,880
How often in the night the uncanny
shapeshifter tormented and stalked me...
79
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,060
Ah! Look at you, a human cub!
80
00:07:18,061 --> 00:07:20,761
And what fresh little eyes you have.
81
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,239
Nice eyes.
82
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:28,040
Give me your eyes,
my sight has gone bad.
83
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,500
Give them to me!
84
00:07:29,810 --> 00:07:30,839
I won't!
85
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:44,759
Who was that?
86
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Nanny! Nanny, who was that?
87
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,589
The Sandman. How can you not know?
The man with the sand.
88
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,639
He's a wicked man
89
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,560
who comes for children who are
stubborn and won't go to bed.
90
00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:05,880
He flings a fistful of sand
into their eyes
91
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:08,599
and then throws the disobedient children
into his sack
92
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,379
and takes them to the moon
93
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440
to feed to his little ones,
waiting up there in their nest.
94
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,940
But you are a well-behaved boy,
so rest easy.
95
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:25,780
The Sandman, the fearsome Sandman...
96
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:30,950
was the old advocate Coppelius,
who often dined with us.
97
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,529
He always filled me with horror.
98
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,639
Most disgusting to me were
his knotted, hairy paws.
99
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,520
I felt sickened
by whatever they touched.
100
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,360
A joy to see you, my dear Master.
101
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:03,460
I trembled with fear,
but I felt compelled:
102
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:05,159
I had to uncover the secret
103
00:10:05,359 --> 00:10:08,800
that bound my beloved father
to this foul man.
104
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:10,960
Look alive! Straight to work!
105
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,410
Now it became clear why every
time Coppelius visited
106
00:10:16,819 --> 00:10:22,560
a thin fume with a singular odor
would fill the house.
107
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:51,280
Eyes! Eyes!
Must have eyes!
108
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,239
Eyes this way! Eyes!
Where are the eyes?
109
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,560
Ah. There's the wee beastie!
110
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,960
Now we have eyes,
111
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080
a pretty pair of child's eyes!
112
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,439
Master! Master!
113
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Leave my son his eyes,
better to take mine...
114
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,960
Who needs your old, blind eyes!
115
00:11:40,290 --> 00:11:44,380
Here are my eyelets.
116
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,360
I implore you!
117
00:11:48,680 --> 00:12:01,640
Well, let the lad have his eyes
and do his share of the world's crying.
118
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Fie! What a frightful dream!
119
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Nutcracker, you're always at my side.
120
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,470
One moment. One moment.
121
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:27,560
Right, then...
122
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Greetings, Frau Mark!
Good morning, Veronika!
123
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,350
My husband, the Honorable Consul...
- Please be seated.
124
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,889
...has asked me to convey to you that
since you began instructing our daughter
125
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:58,279
her singing has improved immeasurably.
126
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,920
A pleasure to hear.
127
00:13:02,319 --> 00:13:07,660
Our daughter
dreams of becoming a singer.
128
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,280
This will require much work.
129
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,420
Have you any objection to my
presence at the lesson?
130
00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:18,550
I would be honored.
131
00:13:19,651 --> 00:13:20,701
And...
132
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,720
What's happening, Mama?
133
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,860
Young man, we must be off now.
134
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:13,149
We need to attend to the dress
being sewn for Veronika -
135
00:14:13,239 --> 00:14:17,079
it must be ready for
our musical evening.
136
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,540
Incidentally, do come
yourself to our salon.
137
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,040
You could play something,
and I hope our guests would enjoy it.
138
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Umph, these attics.
139
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,219
Accursed Coppelius!
Vile Sandman! Fat worm!
140
00:14:54,349 --> 00:14:57,559
How long will you haunt me?
141
00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:00,360
Leave me in peace! Away!
142
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,950
Right...
143
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Right!
144
00:15:15,119 --> 00:15:16,100
Yes!
145
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:19,530
Yes!
146
00:15:20,339 --> 00:15:21,370
Yes!
147
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,960
- Bravo! Bravo!
- You are too kind!
148
00:15:30,061 --> 00:15:32,861
Stupendous! Prima!
149
00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:35,160
Bravissimo!
150
00:15:37,619 --> 00:15:40,490
The hated Chancellery.
151
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Can it be that I must sit my entire
life amongst these office rats?
152
00:16:11,330 --> 00:16:12,940
The blessed fool!
153
00:16:24,869 --> 00:16:26,540
- Phew. - At last!
- Home, home, home!
154
00:16:26,641 --> 00:16:28,641
- Time to go home!
- Time to go home!
155
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,760
"Lutter & Wegner" Tavern.
156
00:16:44,439 --> 00:16:47,119
- I'm burning with expectation!
- And what did you say?
157
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:48,439
We're all ears!
158
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,159
"Oh, yes!" I informed him,
159
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,479
"I can only guess at the noble ancestry
of your scratched nose and swollen cheek."
160
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:01,860
Everybody burst into guffaws!
161
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:07,850
And of what noble origin
is this part of your body?
162
00:17:13,460 --> 00:17:17,720
And my knee in his arse!
163
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,880
To your health!
164
00:18:48,199 --> 00:18:49,680
I beg your pardon.
165
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,740
Have you not forgotten about your
invitation to the musical evening?
166
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:56,239
An Evening of Music
chez Madame Mark
167
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Herr Ernst,
168
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,949
I shall explain things to you
without delay.
169
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,560
Tonight is the latest
of our evening parties
170
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,079
offering musical feasting.
171
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:22,359
The atmosphere is most refined:
172
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,560
alongside punch, wine and ice cream,
a bit of music is always served.
173
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,239
That is Herr Greppel, from Hamburg;
he and his father, the senator,
174
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,950
successfully run the banking
house "Greppel & Son."
175
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,199
Alongside ice cream,
a bit of music is served.
176
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Why were you late?
177
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:48,919
Me? I work a great deal... I...
178
00:19:49,020 --> 00:19:52,120
I'm writing... I'm writing an opera!
179
00:19:52,199 --> 00:19:53,279
An opera?
180
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,479
It'll be a grand composition, "Undine",
about the daughter of the Sea King.
181
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960
And could I sing in your opera?
182
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:06,439
But of course,
I would be only too glad.
183
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:10,680
To see you every day,
to be together.
184
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:15,920
You must play Undine.
Here is proof of my promise.
185
00:20:49,069 --> 00:20:51,060
Well here I am - your double!
186
00:20:51,199 --> 00:20:53,430
I can move you as I wish!
187
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,700
Look! He is dancing by himself!
188
00:20:56,199 --> 00:20:59,609
What are you doing here?
All the guests here are marionettes.
189
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,800
Shall we make fun of them a bit?
190
00:21:03,601 --> 00:21:04,601
Oh!
191
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,720
What's that?
192
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:10,849
Where did this pretty
little leg come from?
193
00:21:10,969 --> 00:21:14,439
This is neither you nor me anymore,
but our beloved Veronica!
194
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760
- He's not himself!
- It's uncanny, very uncanny!
195
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,239
Madness, pure and simple!
196
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
I've seen nothing like it!
197
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,389
Flee, flee from here!
198
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,900
Since I cannot interest her with
the charm of my appearance,
199
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:51,520
I wish to become the embodiment
of ugliness to attract her attention.
200
00:21:55,229 --> 00:21:58,430
Although, if I may say so,
I am an artist!
201
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:01,430
And I have the body of true artist,
202
00:22:01,529 --> 00:22:05,569
which means that in paying visits
I don't have to bring it with me,
203
00:22:05,670 --> 00:22:07,489
but can leave it at home.
204
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:27,080
I don wanna! Don't like it!
I'm just a doodlebug. I don wanna!
205
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,960
For what did God punish me
with this little werewolf?
206
00:22:31,479 --> 00:22:35,239
Why did I have to give birth
to a disgrace and a laughingstock?
207
00:22:35,659 --> 00:22:38,039
When can I just die?
208
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,779
Mom, look!
209
00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:45,480
Like a cockroach!
210
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,920
I'm a doodlebug!
211
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Stand back, you'll get infected.
212
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,199
Perfect for the circus.
213
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,680
Well now, if you don't have the
tiniest, handsomest little boy!
214
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Truly a blessing from God
to whomever is sent
215
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,720
such a wonderful, comely child.
216
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,520
My dear Pastor,
it's a sin for you, God's servant,
217
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,960
to laugh at a poor woman,
218
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:11,600
punished by the heavens
for who knows what.
219
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,439
What nonsense you're talking!
220
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,600
Rather, tell me the name
of this little one.
221
00:23:17,439 --> 00:23:20,399
That is his name -
Zaches the Little One.
222
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Well then, why don't you hand over
your promising youngster to me
223
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,439
for care and upbringing.
224
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,199
Ah. Can you really be serious?
225
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,760
I will make a great man out of him.
226
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,549
- What a stroke of luck!
- He'll be the head of Chancellery!
227
00:23:37,630 --> 00:23:39,480
Let's go home.
228
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,760
He'll be the head of Chancellery!
229
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,730
Who's that?
230
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,800
Do me the honor of reading this.
231
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,640
"We have the honor of informing
you that your proposition
232
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,920
enjoys our full support.
233
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,279
You are hereby appointed
Kapellmeister of our theatre."
234
00:24:32,509 --> 00:24:39,040
To take those slender fingers
and pass your palm over my face...
235
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,520
An appointment!
236
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,399
How I'd hoped for an
answer to my letters,
237
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800
always receiving a rejection.
238
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,079
And now an appointment!
239
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,760
I think I shall say this:
240
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,560
"The terms you offer for our
partnership are highly flattering."
241
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,279
- Hello.
- Good afternoon!
242
00:25:17,439 --> 00:25:21,039
"May I be so bold as to present
this trifle to your judgment."
243
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:23,050
That's better.
244
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Who is that grim figure
in the dark cape?
245
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,970
Can it be that very same Sandman?
246
00:25:53,439 --> 00:25:54,800
Coppelius!
247
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200
Eyes! Where are the eyes?
248
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,079
Please come in!
249
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
Professor of Physics and Mechanics
Mosh Paulmann
250
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Overjoyed I am, Herr Coppelius.
251
00:26:19,939 --> 00:26:23,039
Perhaps Coppelius
is only my gloomy fantasy?
252
00:26:23,570 --> 00:26:27,159
Yet, my mood today ought to be excellent.
253
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,600
My Olympia! 20 years I've labored,
hiding her from the public.
254
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,439
I've invested my entire life in her.
255
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960
Total silence is essential.
256
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,399
- But my clocks!
- Less talk. To work!
257
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,560
Our goal is to acquire the
pure soul of Anselmus.
258
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,600
Only the naive soul of Anselmus
259
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,800
can overcome the magic
of the Salamander Lindhorst.
260
00:27:29,850 --> 00:27:33,640
Nice! Such nice eyeballs!
261
00:27:33,741 --> 00:27:36,341
Well then, clockmaker, let's begin!
262
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,750
The Theatre!
263
00:27:57,399 --> 00:27:59,479
It doesn't matter that it's empty now.
264
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240
People will come...
265
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Yes, people will come
and it will come alive.
266
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,359
I see it clearly.
267
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,279
Yes, yes!
268
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,359
Mice are after the maiden Marie.
- Help me!
269
00:28:42,910 --> 00:28:43,910
Help...
270
00:28:48,461 --> 00:28:49,811
Help me!
271
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,920
I'm the nutcracker, a brave knight!
272
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,600
My mission is to fight evil.
273
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,960
For Marie, I am ready to battle
274
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,560
against the Mouse King!
275
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,360
- Nutcracker, fight the Mouse King!
- I am always ready to right
276
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,320
with my teeth! Snap! Snap! Snap!
277
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Even alone without a sword,
I can beat the Mouse Regiment!
278
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,000
What's he clapping to?
There's nobody there.
279
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,480
Here I shall insert my Singspiele,
my "Merry Musicians"
280
00:29:32,849 --> 00:29:35,399
and my opera "Undine"!
281
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,019
My Olympia is not a talker,
282
00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:44,539
but the gaze of these eyes you brought
283
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,540
will inflame him... with amorous desire.
284
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,239
He'll forget Serpentina, that..
285
00:29:55,019 --> 00:30:00,899
...snakelet the cursed Salamander
is trying to push off on him.
286
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:08,520
I'm curious how our Burghers
will react to my appointment.
287
00:30:12,439 --> 00:30:16,880
Glory to the happy burghers,
288
00:30:17,159 --> 00:30:20,880
Thrifty, wealthy men of trade.
289
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:25,400
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!
290
00:30:25,501 --> 00:30:29,551
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!
291
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:38,319
Our lives behind beer mugs
are merry and brave!
292
00:30:38,499 --> 00:30:42,800
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!
293
00:30:42,901 --> 00:30:46,801
Ola-reeo! Ola-reeo!
294
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:55,760
We are highly influential persons,
Gentlemen in uniforms.
295
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:03,840
But even we from time to time
Like to have a bit of fun!
296
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,160
Oh, my beloved Colombina!
297
00:31:17,410 --> 00:31:21,000
Away, unworthy Truffaldino.
298
00:31:33,439 --> 00:31:36,119
See, that apprentice,
299
00:31:36,479 --> 00:31:40,039
the petty clerk
is prancing around the theatre.
300
00:31:40,239 --> 00:31:44,000
Such a thespian should appreciate
our theatrical work.
301
00:31:44,399 --> 00:31:49,640
He'll help us rid our domains
of the accursed Salamander.
302
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:52,840
That kind-hearted magician.
303
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,130
She's coming to life!
304
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,260
Undine!
305
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
My subaquatic opera!
306
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,840
I am Undine, Undine!
307
00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:19,000
Transparent and light,
308
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:28,359
I came in the dark of night
To the fisherman's hut.
309
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:39,079
I'm a mermaid, a maid of the sea,
A wave in love,
310
00:32:40,479 --> 00:32:50,880
Huldebrand, in joy and in sorrow
I remain true to you.
311
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,640
What are you doing here?
312
00:32:59,239 --> 00:33:01,079
I am your new Kapellmeister.
313
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,040
You?
314
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,320
Me!
315
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,000
I am writing an opera,
almost finished.
316
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,600
Here, it's called "Undine."
317
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,079
I prefer to conduct it myself.
318
00:33:14,479 --> 00:33:20,560
You? You won't be seen
even from the orchestra pit.
319
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:26,199
So that's how it is.
320
00:33:27,239 --> 00:33:29,640
Drosselmeyer, here!
321
00:33:35,439 --> 00:33:36,520
Magical cloak!
322
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:51,379
It seems to me
I'm a giant.
323
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,040
The deed is done.
324
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Done is the deed, done.
325
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,439
What an interesting
laboratory you have.
326
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,490
So many curiosities.
327
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,520
Tell me about this telescope.
328
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:50,079
It's a special device
with an unusual optical effect.
329
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,189
What effect?
330
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,800
This little tube shows what is
desired rather than what is.
331
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,860
Intriguing.
332
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,560
Would you like to try it out?
333
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,239
Not I. But there is an individual
for whom this is indispensable!
334
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,080
But in that case...
335
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,880
No buts. I'm taking it!
336
00:35:16,279 --> 00:35:21,479
He'll see what he wants to see.
337
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,439
Oh, my Serpentina!
338
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,479
That accursed old hag's
curse frightens me:
339
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,439
"You'll end up under glass!"
340
00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:43,199
Excellent and mysterious other.
341
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,120
She's gone.
342
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,080
Can't be late to the Chancellery.
Right. Where's my frock?
343
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:18,120
This missive confirms that the document...
344
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,040
This way. This way.
345
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:34,920
This way.
346
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,440
Stand up!
347
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,080
Do you not see who has graced us?
348
00:36:53,600 --> 00:37:01,000
What reliability! What zeal!
What punctuality!
349
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,079
Fine work! Exemplary, exemplary!
350
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,520
Please receive from my hands
this highest of awards:
351
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,239
the Order of the Green-Spotted Tiger.
352
00:37:26,589 --> 00:37:28,520
Ugh, how heavy this tiger is!
353
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:33,560
Hold me!
354
00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:36,410
- Don't hold me!
- Back off.
355
00:37:42,730 --> 00:37:43,820
Away!
356
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:51,640
The tavern - just what I need.
357
00:38:22,900 --> 00:38:26,439
What's with you, Herr Ernst?
You're out of sorts.
358
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Silly thoughts have been
haunting me recently.
359
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:32,320
How's that?
360
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Tell me, can a person
be put inside glass?
361
00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:43,279
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
362
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,800
I also think it's balderdash.
363
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,199
Personally, I prefer an
inventive lie to banal truth.
364
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,479
Onward, Herr Warlock!
The show must begin!
365
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:01,200
An Oriental tale!
366
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,349
Imagine a magnificent procession...
- He's gotten a bit carried away.
367
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,870
Onto 12 snow-white unicorns
with little golden hooves...
368
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,200
Our very own teller of tales.
369
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,550
...mount creatures
wrapped in scarlet silk robes.
370
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,119
They blow pleasingly
into silver horns,
371
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,640
crash cymbals and beat drums.
372
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:27,620
Behind these excellent musicians
come two giant ostriches
373
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,399
dragging a glittering golden tulip.
374
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,510
Inside sits a tiny old man
with a long, grey beard.
375
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,479
Instead of a hat, his head is
adorned with a silver funnel.
376
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,550
The old man reads from a large book,
377
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:44,960
having settled a pair of
square spectacles on his nose.
378
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:52,840
Behind him come 10 oddly dressed Moors
with long spears and short swords.
379
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,039
He can turn a phrase!
380
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:59,880
Every time the old man turns a page
in his book, he squeals:
381
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,239
Kuri-pire-ksi-li-ni!
382
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,200
And the Moors answer loudly:
383
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:08,720
Bram-bure-bil-alamonsa-kiki-bura-son-ton!
384
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:10,680
A bit scary, and a bit much.
385
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,560
All together now!
386
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,960
Kuri-pire-ksi-li-ni!
387
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,239
Bram-bure-bil-alamonsa-kiki-
bura-son-ton!
388
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,880
Look! Look! It's begun!
They're coming!
389
00:40:26,359 --> 00:40:29,150
What's that thunder?
The ground is shaking!
390
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,619
There's a crowd out there!
391
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:35,119
The same Moors with curved sabers!
392
00:40:35,379 --> 00:40:37,720
And the old fellow with
the funnel on his head!
393
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:39,850
Look at that!
394
00:40:39,951 --> 00:40:42,601
- There's your balderdash.
- The very same...
395
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,120
It's those very unicorns and Moors!
396
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:49,340
- What a grand theater.
- Bonissimo!
397
00:40:50,241 --> 00:40:52,841
Our madman has put on quite a show.
398
00:40:53,870 --> 00:40:56,210
Devil-spawned ostriches!
399
00:40:58,059 --> 00:41:00,640
These visions smell of witchcraft!
400
00:41:01,359 --> 00:41:03,640
We'll pay with our heads for this!
401
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,259
Oh, horror!
402
00:41:06,359 --> 00:41:11,600
An invasion of bloodthirsty Moors
against our unfortunate Burghers!
403
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,720
He can see the future!
404
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,560
Is Herr Ernst in?
405
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,960
Up in the attic.
406
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Now we'll play a little trick.
407
00:41:42,279 --> 00:41:43,759
There now.
408
00:41:52,670 --> 00:41:54,719
It's her again.
409
00:41:54,820 --> 00:41:55,820
Right...
410
00:41:59,290 --> 00:42:00,840
Or not her?
411
00:42:01,899 --> 00:42:04,559
A curious transformation.
412
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,520
Did she not appear to me
in the Elderberry Tree?
413
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,980
You'll hear of me yet!
414
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:33,680
Fool! Fool! Fool!
Your place is in glass, in glass!
415
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,240
Away, old witch!
416
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:38,359
Much better.
417
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,939
I am delighted, Herr Anselmus,
that you have finally come to me.
418
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:49,950
I know that fatal being all too well,
419
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:55,420
the fruit of chance love between a black
dragon feather and a rotten beet root.
420
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,560
She despises me and devises various tricks,
421
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:06,200
and on this occasion became a doorknob
to deny me a pleasant visit.
422
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:20,239
Herr Student, Herr Student,
whence come ye?
423
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,530
And why such fancy clothes?
424
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:35,199
You make a comic sight, in your
incomparable wig and paper boots.
425
00:43:35,319 --> 00:43:38,760
Do you approve of my
modest winter garden?
426
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,000
Oh, my God...
427
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,760
It is excellent above all measure,
most honorable Herr Archivarius!
428
00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:51,680
But... the motley bird laughs
too much at my meager self.
429
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,640
What deceit is this?
430
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,760
Here is your workplace.
431
00:44:29,879 --> 00:44:35,680
Go on, dear boy.
Serpentina will help you.
432
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,729
I understood that I was speaking
with the Prince of Spirits
433
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:50,039
who now retired to his study
to converse with emissaries
434
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:52,000
from some other planet.
435
00:44:55,279 --> 00:44:58,399
It befits me to begin work.
436
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:01,640
Dear Anselmus.
437
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,359
Serpentina!
Dear Serpentina!
438
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Dear Anselmus,
439
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,720
I have come this minute
to relate some particulars
440
00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:18,159
regarding my father and myself.
441
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,520
Know, dearest, that my father hails
from the wondrous tribe of Salamanders.
442
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,319
He lived in the magical
country of Atlantis,
443
00:45:27,439 --> 00:45:29,889
where reigned the powerful
Prince of Spirits, Phosphor,
444
00:45:29,969 --> 00:45:32,560
served by the spirits
of all the elements.
445
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:42,560
Among the gardens of magical Atlantis
446
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:51,920
my youthful father once roamed
447
00:45:53,479 --> 00:46:01,319
and in the basin of a flower
saw a snakelet.
448
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:05,609
Just as it was with us.
449
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,840
You remember, Serpentina?
450
00:46:11,319 --> 00:46:19,199
How I met you in the Elderberry bushes
451
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,560
and how tenderly you looked at me.
452
00:46:28,279 --> 00:46:30,220
Stop, Anselmus!
453
00:46:31,020 --> 00:46:33,720
We talk now of father!
454
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,990
The Emperor of Spirits
did not allow the Salamander
455
00:46:40,089 --> 00:46:42,320
to unite with his beloved.
456
00:46:42,670 --> 00:46:44,220
But father...
457
00:46:47,339 --> 00:46:52,239
Father forgot that his
passion could consume,
458
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:55,960
and engulfed his beloved in flame.
459
00:46:58,399 --> 00:47:02,520
It will be different with us.
460
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:05,899
My love...
461
00:47:06,249 --> 00:47:10,199
...is like a gentle breeze.
462
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:20,480
The curse upon my father
will be lifted...
463
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,480
...as soon as I...
464
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:34,680
...find a heart's companion...
465
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,480
...with an innocent, unblemished...
466
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:47,000
...childlike soul.
467
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,560
O, my Serpentina!
468
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,039
I will love thee forever.
469
00:47:57,159 --> 00:47:59,479
Kind Herr Anselmus,
470
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,279
you do indeed possess
great abilities in calligraphy.
471
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,880
Serpentina loves you.
472
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,199
Be true to her,
473
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:14,279
and you will know the glorious
miracles of the golden pot
474
00:48:14,439 --> 00:48:17,640
and be happy for ages to come.
475
00:48:18,279 --> 00:48:21,560
I expect you tomorrow at noon sharp!
476
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:29,720
Again she appears!
477
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,390
It is as if some unexpected force
478
00:48:32,909 --> 00:48:35,720
irresistibly draws me
to this unknown lady.
479
00:48:38,060 --> 00:48:39,960
Calm. Calm!
480
00:48:40,211 --> 00:48:42,261
Hey! Hey!
481
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,439
Venerable Herr Ernst! Amice!
My friend!
482
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:54,539
Pleased to see you.
483
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,079
Allow me to introduce
my daughter, Olympia.
484
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,760
I'm charmed to meet you!
485
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:09,560
Herr Paulmann...
486
00:49:10,279 --> 00:49:13,319
Would you care to join us
for a jaunt on the river?
487
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,720
I'd be delighted.
488
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:27,400
Charming!
489
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:35,640
Charming!
490
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,750
Can you not see us swimming before you?
491
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,800
My sisterkin are looking at you -
believe! Believe, believe in us!
492
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,520
Mein Herr, you're possessed!
493
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,640
Is something disturbing you, mein Herr?
Leave it be! Leave it be!
494
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,760
I propose you visit me and we put
back a glass of my good old punch.
495
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:26,980
More! More!
496
00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:28,430
More!
497
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,119
My beautiful, speechless creature,
498
00:51:28,359 --> 00:51:32,359
you are a ray from the distant,
promised land of love.
499
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,160
It starts to seem
to me that you...
500
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,760
...only you...
501
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,000
...you alone truly understand me.
502
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,239
Spin, my doll!
503
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,979
What an unusually lively chat
you've been having with my daughter.
504
00:52:07,060 --> 00:52:09,359
Well then, my good Herr Ernst,
505
00:52:09,439 --> 00:52:14,900
if you so enjoy speaking
with this timid maiden,
506
00:52:15,019 --> 00:52:18,039
I'll always be delighted
to see you in my home.
507
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,000
But of course!
508
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:41,079
My girl!
509
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:02,079
No, no!
510
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,040
Satan! Idiot!
511
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:20,280
- Stop! Stop!
- Dishonest villain!
512
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,079
Let go, buffoon!
513
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,199
Let go, let go,
you vile scoundrel!
514
00:53:26,330 --> 00:53:30,389
Cursed dog, brainless tinkerer!
515
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,520
I, it was I who created the
mechanism that drives her!
516
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,680
But I made the eyes!
517
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,079
Away from here!
518
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,510
Be gone!
519
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:42,960
Be gone!
520
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,280
Let go!
521
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,900
Perhaps I myself am to
blame for this calamity.
522
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:18,280
I committed a sin against you,
my glorious, beloved Serpentina.
523
00:54:18,990 --> 00:54:25,439
Did I not lose my faith and with it all
that could bring me higher happiness?
524
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,680
You will never be mine now.
525
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:35,760
Good evening, good evening!
526
00:54:38,279 --> 00:54:41,119
Can I find Herr Ernst here?
527
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,820
Ah, Serpentina! My Serpentina!
528
00:55:22,929 --> 00:55:26,439
It seems you were fain
to call for my daughter?
529
00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:33,439
But she is at the other side of
the house, at her music lesson.
530
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:35,359
Let us move along.
531
00:55:53,560 --> 00:56:00,000
One wrong line or, God forbid,
an ink spot on the original
532
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,159
will bring woe upon you.
533
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:34,680
Madman, suffer now the punishment
for what thou hast so irreverently done!
534
00:56:54,069 --> 00:56:57,479
My kind Sirs, brothers in my misery,
535
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:02,439
how can you remain so unconcerned,
nay, even pleased?
536
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:08,109
Don't you know you're sitting
in corked glass jars, as in a prison!
537
00:57:08,189 --> 00:57:09,960
You, mein Herr, are babbling.
538
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:12,000
We are not in the least hindered
539
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:15,039
from going to Joseph's
or other taverns on a daily basis,
540
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:21,399
relishing strong ale, frequenting other
merry establishments, looking at girls...
541
00:57:21,670 --> 00:57:24,920
We've never felt better than now.
542
00:57:25,019 --> 00:57:27,039
It's quiet and relaxing here.
543
00:57:27,399 --> 00:57:30,159
But there's a bell
ringing in your head again.
544
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,840
Ringing! Ringing.
545
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:39,250
Ah, they have never known what freedom
and life there is in faith and love.
546
00:57:39,450 --> 00:57:42,399
They have never seen
the wondrous Serpentina!
547
00:57:42,479 --> 00:57:45,860
Anselmus! Believe, love, hope!
548
00:57:46,460 --> 00:57:51,560
Believe, love, hope.
549
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,919
You ended up in glass!
550
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,960
Sit and rot there! In glass!
551
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Leave me, devil's spawn!
552
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,239
Only your hellish games
drove me to sin.
553
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,510
I betrayed Serpentina.
554
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,310
Now I must redeem myself.
555
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,949
I'm a bird and fly like a bird.
556
00:58:22,399 --> 00:58:26,399
Moldy parchments make me sick.
557
00:58:27,039 --> 00:58:29,199
How lovely I look!
558
00:58:32,159 --> 00:58:36,880
The golden pot is mine! Mine, mine!
559
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:42,079
Devilish delusion.
Away from here!
560
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,800
Take this!
561
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,409
Dearest Anselmus,
an all-destroying evil
562
00:59:07,529 --> 00:59:11,640
strove to invade your soul
and divide you against yourself.
563
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,510
But you have proven your
faithfulness: Be free...
564
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:19,400
...and happy!
565
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:24,129
Now you can write about
all that you have seen.
566
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,200
It will be a magnificent book.
567
00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:37,720
How deeply in my soul did I feel
the blessedness of Anselmus.
568
00:59:39,279 --> 00:59:42,479
He has united with his dear Serpentina,
569
00:59:42,590 --> 00:59:45,279
and withdrawn to the
mysterious, wondrous kingdom
570
00:59:45,380 --> 00:59:51,600
for which his soul, full of strange hopes
and premonitions, had yearned so long.
571
00:59:54,439 --> 00:59:58,039
But in vain have I tried
to set before you
572
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,760
even a hint of the glories
that now surround Anselmus.
573
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Looking over these 11
successfully completed chapters,
574
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,709
I have been greatly tortured
by the thought
575
01:00:19,789 --> 01:00:24,279
that I'll never be able to add
the 12th and final chapter.
576
01:00:32,159 --> 01:00:35,560
Lookie here, what's he scribbling?
577
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,389
Yuck, the text isn't tasty.
578
01:00:42,479 --> 01:00:43,790
I'm here!
579
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:44,880
Forward!
580
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,120
Forward!
581
01:00:48,279 --> 01:00:49,680
Pathetic Nutcracker!
582
01:00:53,479 --> 01:00:54,480
En garde!
583
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,560
My cohort! Surround him! Guards!
584
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:09,930
All against one.
585
01:01:14,239 --> 01:01:15,920
We're in trouble!
586
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:19,539
Attack!
587
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,000
Get ready, you silly fool!
588
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,680
And you, chancellery scum!
589
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:31,880
My saber!
590
01:01:32,010 --> 01:01:32,770
Permit me.
591
01:01:42,049 --> 01:01:43,359
Flee!
592
01:01:45,059 --> 01:01:48,260
I am a cavalier of the Order
of the Green-Spotted Tiger!
593
01:01:50,139 --> 01:01:52,399
I'm drowning in a chamber pot.
594
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,560
Venerable Herr Ernst Theodor
Amadeus Hoffmann,
595
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,279
it is my understanding that
you have became a famous writer
596
01:02:20,439 --> 01:02:22,249
and have set down in 11 chapters
597
01:02:22,369 --> 01:02:26,239
the singular fortunes
of my good son-in-law, Anselmus,
598
01:02:26,319 --> 01:02:29,399
formerly a student, presently a poet;
599
01:02:29,479 --> 01:02:32,540
and that currently
you are racking your brains
600
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,760
over how to write the 12th and final chapter
about his happy life in Atlantis,
601
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,079
where he now lives with my daughter.
602
01:02:40,319 --> 01:02:44,319
With greatest esteem,
Your humble servant,
603
01:02:44,439 --> 01:02:46,680
Salamander Lindhorst,
604
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,579
Royal Privy Archivarius.
605
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:08,159
I am extremely glad you have
not refused my sincere offer.
606
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:14,479
Sip a bit of this burning arrack,
to which I've added a little sugar,
607
01:03:15,319 --> 01:03:17,279
and while you are writing,
608
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:23,359
for my own amusement, I shall just
bob up and down, bob up and down
609
01:03:23,479 --> 01:03:24,600
in the goblet.
610
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,319
Hark! Hark unto us!
611
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,159
We are joy and blessedness
and the ecstasy of love!
612
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,299
Ah, my love!
613
01:03:46,749 --> 01:03:49,199
The Lily has opened its blossom.
614
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,950
The highest of desires is fulfilled!
615
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:55,840
Is there a happiness equal to ours?
616
01:04:00,439 --> 01:04:01,800
Ah, happy is Anselmus,
617
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,199
who has thrown off the yoke
of everyday life,
618
01:04:04,279 --> 01:04:08,119
and blessedly and joyously lives
in his Atlantis.
619
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,960
While I, in just a few minutes,
620
01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:17,319
must quit this fair chamber
and magical lilac-colored table.
621
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,279
I will find myself in my
attic cell on the 5th floor,
622
01:04:22,079 --> 01:04:26,359
where my mind will be ruled
by the dim pettiness of existence.
623
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,279
Enough, enough, venerable Herr!
624
01:04:29,399 --> 01:04:30,800
Don't complain so!
625
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,840
Were you yourself not just in Atlantis?
626
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:42,640
Do you not possess all of its charms
within the poetic realm of your own mind?
627
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:48,079
Can that have been anything less
than life in poesy?
628
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:08,680
We are your children, bard,
None are happier by far,
629
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:16,600
It is our destiny
To live for eternity.
630
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:24,319
As your pen traced
Across the page,
631
01:05:24,399 --> 01:05:32,800
You became our Papa, our Mama,
You alone did give us life.
632
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,760
Greetings to you: masks,
periwigs and hairpieces,
633
01:05:38,159 --> 01:05:42,640
Garments for actors and actresses!
634
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:48,900
Long live the magical, hidden...
635
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,340
- Oh, is that how it is? Gnaw it, lads!
- ...secretive and strange backstage world!
636
01:05:54,200 --> 01:06:04,320
Long live the magical, hidden,
secretive and strange backstage world!
637
01:06:06,279 --> 01:06:14,150
The spectator will rave
If he's kind, in delight,
638
01:06:14,339 --> 01:06:21,840
If he's wicked, then he'll ponder
His own sorry plight.
639
01:06:22,239 --> 01:06:29,840
But both good and bad
When spectacle's through
640
01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:33,960
Will clap for me and clap for you.
641
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:38,720
And cry: Hoffmann, hurrah!
642
01:06:48,119 --> 01:06:50,040
That's your curtain call.
