quiet! quiet! quiet! down there, damn you. welcome to you. pay no attention, they're impossible. stop it, you willful things! come this way. just ignore them. they're perfectly harmless, just willful. i treat them just like my own children.
what? ha-ha! that's funny - i like it. which one, eh? you're a funny fellow. hannah! come this way.
hannah!
you won't be teaching this one either. she's my wife.
this is herr mozart, my dear. the young man herr salieri recommended to teach our gertrude. where is she?
gertrude!
of course, it's him. who do you think it is?
gertrude!
people who know say the girl's got talent. you must judge for yourself. if you think she stinks, say so.
strudel, this is herr mozart. say good morning.
quite right. he's going to need it. klaus! a bottle of wine. prestissimo! now let's go to it. i've been waiting all day for this.
now sit down all of you and behave. zeman, mandi, absolutely quiet! especially you, dudelsachs - not one sound from you.
come on, then. up and at it!
never mind, strudel. it's part of music, getting used to an audience. aren't i right, herr mozart?
nonsense. strudel's not shy. she's just willful! you give into her now, you'll be sorry later. strudel - play.
i said play!
stop that, dudelsachs! stop it at once! don't let him disturb you. he'll be all right. he's just a little willful too. please, please - play. i beg you.
stop it! stop!
no, not you. i was talking to the dog. you keep playing. it's most important. he always howls when he hears music. we've got to break them of the habit. play, please. please!
that's it. now keep going, just keep going. now you stop that noise, dudelsachs, you stop it this instant! this instant, do you hear me? keep going, herr mozart, that's it. go on, go on!
good, good, good! very good dog! very, very good dudelsachs. quick, quick, dear, bring his biscuit.
now guess who's going to get a nice reward? clever, clever dudi.
it's a miracle, herr mozart!
yes. he is a little strange.
herr mozart. what a surprise. what can i do for you?
well, your pupil is married and living in mannheim, young man.
what is this, mozart? what's the matter with you?
what for?
well, this is hardly the way to go about it.
i'm sorry. no.
my answer is no, mozart.
