Dirk bangs on the table. Martin: Gunther! Pay attention! I think Fredrich has something to say. I bet that you are now going to tell us the date of the wedding. I shall try not to miss it. Dirk: You won't miss it Martin. Neither will any of the others. Martin: You mean, the ones who remain? Dirk: I assume total responsibility, not only of the steel works but of this entire family. And therefore I intend to stop this habit of taking liberties. Officer: Excuse me, Fredrich. You don't mean to include me amongst your subjects. I'm simply a guest. Dirk: No, no. I wouldn't dare. But if you are a little patient....(shouts) Gunther! I haven't finished yet! Gunther: Your problems don't concern me. Dirk: They concern you because you live in this house. Gunther: I didn't ask to stay and I won't be for very much longer! Dirk: I order you! Get back into your place. In this least, this can be a moment of truth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
