oskar. he can't sit still. just when we arrive at a nightclub he wants to go to another one. gabriela rossman was here looking for you. do you know her? we saw her naked once -- didn't we. she went to the roof to sunbathe one lunch hour -- we watched her changing. you mean because it's been a while since there was a sunny day? what a good detective you are. we used to be in the supply section, carrying boxes of medicine about but we dropped too many of them. you should be content, you know! -- i was just trying to finish some work! it's not our fault. we're naturally nervous. i can't make a simple statement without him taking issue with it -- how would you like to be in a horrible situation like that? we're to take you to the castle. when you speak to him you have to lean quite near his right ear because the left doesn't work so well. -- just doing our job. still, we're probably closer to you at the moment than any of your fellow human beings. it's all right to be sarcastic in private to us -- because we have a sense of humor -- but when we're up at the castle we suggest you don't make a fuss. it would spoil the not unfavorable impression you make in other respects. but your goal is so hard to reach. do you think the official network would surrender to one man? we would never think of attempting anything remotely as difficult. ludwig? here too! they're all in a dreadful muddle! they'd drive us away. that kafka's made things very hot for us. it doesn't matter. it's too late for all of us. amerika. that's the place to go. then that's the place for us! Amerika!
