Character: Amalia von Wertvollen



"No, they don't tell their loved ones - I want to grow old together.
Loved ones say - we will prosper to death and beyond.
I want to be with you forever. I want "always"-that's what she would say to Franz.
But this is an all-killing "would"!
She would, but she doesn't!
Frau Rudolf.
Like a ship on a shoal - someone would push it in the right direction - they would push it, because it's hard for them.
Scary."

SHE: excuse me, but your favorite books?
How?
Why books?
But... who's she looking? God, these Russian...! But how can there! Well, at least one... come on!
Wilde?
Homosexual.
Burns?
But he's a poet, that would count?
The Germans! Yes, the Germans! Who...
Silence! Do not be silent!
I: Kierkegaard.
SHE: How, sorry?
I: Kierkegaard. And... Heine, that is, Goethe. And Shakespeare.
Shakespeare plus?
SHE: AND what of Shakespeare?
Oh.
Me: Like... everything. Juliet. That is, Romeo and Juliet, and... where... the Night. And... about the king... of kings too.
God!
The woman set a Cup.
Finally put.
