00:01:55.241 --> 00:01:57.702
<c.colorffff80>It is an extremely
common mistake,</c>

00:01:57.911 --> 00:02:01.080
<c.colorffff80>people think the writer's
imagination is always at work,</c>

00:02:01.289 --> 00:02:03.917
<c.colorffff80>that he's constantly
inventing an endless supply</c>

00:02:04.876 --> 00:02:06.085
<c.colorffff80>of incidents and episodes,</c>

00:02:06.169 --> 00:02:09.964
<c.colorffff80>that he simply dreams up his
stories out of thin air.</c>

00:02:10.173 --> 00:02:12.842
<c.colorffff80>In point of fact, the
opposite is true.</c>

00:02:13.051 --> 00:02:15.011
<c.colorffff80>Once the public knows
you're a writer,</c>

00:02:15.219 --> 00:02:17.889
<c.colorffff80>they bring the characters
and events to you</c>

00:02:18.097 --> 00:02:20.767
<c.colorffff80>and as long as you maintain
your ability to look</c>

00:02:20.975 --> 00:02:23.311
<c.colorffff80>and to carefully listen,</c>

00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:26.105
<c.colorffff80>these stories will
continue to...</c>

00:02:26.314 --> 00:02:28.900
<c.colorffff80>Stop it. Stop it! Don't!
Don't do it!</c>

00:02:33.947 --> 00:02:38.576
<c.colorffff80>Uh, will continue to seek
you out over your lifetime.</c>

00:02:38.785 --> 00:02:42.121
<c.colorffff80>To him who has often told
the tales of others,</c>

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:43.957
<c.colorffff80>many tales will be told.</c>

00:02:44.165 --> 00:02:45.917
<c.colorffff80>Sorry. It's all right.</c>

00:02:46.125 --> 00:02:49.170
<c.colorffff80>The incidents that follow
were described to me</c>

00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:52.382
<c.colorffff80>exactly as I present them here</c>

00:02:52.590 --> 00:02:54.968
<c.colorffff80>and in a wholly unexpected way.</c>

00:03:02.558 --> 00:03:03.768
<c.colorffff80><i>A number of years ago,</i></c>

00:03:03.977 --> 00:03:06.854
<c.colorffff80><i>while suffering from a mild
case of "Scribe's Fever,"</i></c>

00:03:07.063 --> 00:03:08.856
<c.colorffff80>a <i>form of neurasthenia
common among</i></c>

00:03:08.982 --> 00:03:10.775
<c.colorffff80><i>the intelligentsia of that time,</i></c>

00:03:10.984 --> 00:03:12.860
<c.colorffff80><i>I decided to spend
the month of August</i></c>

00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:16.990
<c.colorffff80><i>in the spa town of Nebelsbad
below the Alpine Sudetenwaltz,</i></c>

00:03:17.198 --> 00:03:20.535
<c.colorffff80><i>and had taken up rooms
in the Grand Budapest,</i></c>

00:03:20.743 --> 00:03:25.581
<c.colorffff80><i>a picturesque, elaborate, and once
widely celebrated establishment.</i></c>

00:03:25.790 --> 00:03:28.334
<c.colorffff80><i>I expect some of
you will know it.</i></c>

00:03:30.086 --> 00:03:33.339
<c.colorffff80><i>YOUNG</i> WRITER: <i>It was off season and, by
that time, decidedly out of fashion,</i></c>

00:03:33.423 --> 00:03:35.466
<c.colorffff80><i>and it had already
begun its descent</i></c>

00:03:35.675 --> 00:03:39.679
<c.colorffff80><i>into shabbiness and
eventual demolition.</i></c>

00:03:39.887 --> 00:03:41.597
<c.colorffff80><i>What few guests we were</i></c>

00:03:41.806 --> 00:03:44.142
<c.colorffff80><i>had quickly come to recognize
one another by sight</i></c>

00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:47.395
<c.colorffff80><i>as the only living souls residing
in the vast establishment,</i></c>

00:03:48.646 --> 00:03:51.649
<c.colorffff80><i>although I do not believe any acquaintance
among our number had proceeded</i></c>

00:03:51.858 --> 00:03:54.736
<c.colorffff80><i>beyond the polite nods we
exchanged as we passed</i></c>

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:55.820
<c.colorffff80><i>in the Palm Court,</i></c>

00:03:56.029 --> 00:03:57.864
<c.colorffff80><i>in the Arabian baths,</i></c>

00:03:58.072 --> 00:04:00.241
<c.colorffff80><i>and on board the
Colonnade Funicular.</i></c>

00:04:00.450 --> 00:04:03.327
<c.colorffff80>We were a very reserved
group, <i>it</i> seemed,</c>

00:04:03.536 --> 00:04:05.997
<c.colorffff80><i>and, without
exception, solitary.</i></c>

00:04:10.334 --> 00:04:13.129
<c.colorffff80><i>Perhaps as a result of
this general silence,</i></c>

00:04:13.337 --> 00:04:16.132
<c.colorffff80><i>I had established a casual
and bantering familiarity</i></c>

00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:18.342
<c.colorffff80><i>with the hotel's concierge,
a West-continental</i></c>

00:04:18.551 --> 00:04:20.553
<c.colorffff80><i>known only as Monsieur Jean,</i></c>

00:04:20.762 --> 00:04:22.597
<c.colorffff80><i>who struck one as
being, at once,</i></c>

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.933
<c.colorffff80><i>both lazy and, really,
quite accommodating.</i></c>

00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:28.311
<c.colorffff80><i>I expect he was not well paid.</i></c>

00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.937
<c.colorffff80>In any case, one evening,</c>

00:04:30.146 --> 00:04:32.607
<c.colorffff80><i>as I stood conferring
elbow-to-elbow with Monsieur Jean,</i></c>

00:04:32.815 --> 00:04:37.153
<c.colorffff80><i>as had become my habit, I noticed
a new presence in our company.</i></c>

00:04:37.361 --> 00:04:39.739
<c.colorffff80><i>A small, elderly man,
smartly dressed,</i></c>

00:04:39.947 --> 00:04:42.867
<c.colorffff80><i>with an exceptionally
lively, intelligent face</i></c>

00:04:43.076 --> 00:04:46.079
<c.colorffff80><i>and an immediately
perceptible air of sadness.</i></c>

00:04:46.287 --> 00:04:49.665
<c.colorffff80><i>He was, like the rest of us,
alone, but also, I must say,</i></c>

00:04:49.874 --> 00:04:54.420
<c.colorffff80><i>he was the first that struck one
as being deeply and truly lonely.</i></c>

00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:57.298
<c.colorffff80><i>A symptom of my own medical
condition as well.</i></c>

00:04:57.507 --> 00:04:59.383
<c.colorffff80>Who's this interesting
old fellow?</c>

00:04:59.592 --> 00:05:01.177
<c.colorffff80><i>I inquired of Monsieur Jean.</i></c>

00:05:01.385 --> 00:05:04.013
<c.colorffff80><i>To my surprise, he was
distinctly taken aback.</i></c>

00:05:04.222 --> 00:05:05.473
<c.colorffff80>Don't you know? He <i>asked.</i></c>

00:05:05.681 --> 00:05:07.433
<c.colorffff80>Don't you recognize him?</c>

00:05:07.642 --> 00:05:09.018
<c.colorffff80><i>He did look familiar.</i></c>

00:05:09.227 --> 00:05:11.312
<c.colorffff80>That's Mr. Moustafa himself.</c>

00:05:11.395 --> 00:05:12.939
<c.colorffff80>He arrived earlier this morning.</c>

00:05:13.940 --> 00:05:15.358
<c.colorffff80><i>This name will no
doubt be familiar</i></c>

00:05:15.483 --> 00:05:18.236
<c.colorffff80><i>to the more seasoned
persons among you.</i></c>

00:05:20.488 --> 00:05:24.909
<c.colorffff80><i>Mr. Zero Moustafa was at one time
the richest man in Zubrowka,</i></c>

00:05:26.661 --> 00:05:30.248
<c.colorffff80><i>and was still indeed the
owner of the Grand Budapest.</i></c>

00:05:31.541 --> 00:05:33.417
<c.colorffff80>He often comes and
stays a week or more,</c>

00:05:33.626 --> 00:05:35.753
<c.colorffff80>three times a year at least,
but never in the season.</c>

00:05:35.962 --> 00:05:38.297
<c.colorffff80><i>Monsieur Jean signaled to
me and I leaned closer.</i></c>

00:05:38.506 --> 00:05:39.549
<c.colorffff80>I'll tell you a secret.</c>

00:05:39.757 --> 00:05:42.093
<c.colorffff80>He takes only a single-bed
sleeping room without a bath</c>

00:05:42.301 --> 00:05:44.053
<c.colorffff80>in the rear corner
of the top floor</c>

00:05:44.262 --> 00:05:46.180
<c.colorffff80>and it's smaller than
the service elevator!</c>

00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:47.723
<c.colorffff80><i>It was well known,</i></c>

00:05:47.974 --> 00:05:50.476
<c.colorffff80><i>Zero Moustafa had purchased
and famously inhabited</i></c>

00:05:50.685 --> 00:05:53.604
<c.colorffff80><i>some of the most lavish castles
and palazzos on the continent.</i></c>

00:05:53.896 --> 00:05:57.108
<c.colorffff80><i>Yet here, in his own
nearly empty hotel,</i></c>

00:05:57.316 --> 00:05:59.819
<c.colorffff80><i>he occupied a
servant's quarters?</i></c>

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.696
<c.colorffff80><i>At that moment, the curtain rose</i></c>

00:06:01.821 --> 00:06:03.281
<c.colorffff80><i>on a parenthetical,
domestic drama...</i></c>

00:06:03.489 --> 00:06:04.657
<c.colorffff80>Shit.</c>

00:06:04.866 --> 00:06:07.743
<c.colorffff80><i>...which required the immediate
and complete attention</i></c>

00:06:07.952 --> 00:06:09.912
<c.colorffff80>of Monsieur Jean,</c>

00:06:11.664 --> 00:06:14.125
<c.colorffff80><i>but, frankly, did not
hold mine for long.</i></c>

00:06:21.424 --> 00:06:22.425
<c.colorffff80>However,</c>

00:06:22.633 --> 00:06:25.261
<c.colorffff80><i>this premature intermission in the
story of the curious, old man</i></c>

00:06:25.469 --> 00:06:27.889
<c.colorffff80><i>had left me, as the
expression goes,</i></c>

00:06:28.097 --> 00:06:30.224
<c.colorffff80>"gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen,"</c>

00:06:30.433 --> 00:06:32.727
<c.colorffff80><i>that is, on the edge of my seat,</i></c>

00:06:32.935 --> 00:06:35.813
<c.colorffff80><i>where I remained throughout
the next morning, until,</i></c>

00:06:36.022 --> 00:06:39.775
<c.colorffff80><i>in what I have found to be its
mysterious and utterly reliable fashion,</i></c>

00:06:39.984 --> 00:06:43.863
<c.colorffff80><i>fate, once again,
intervened on my behalf.</i></c>

00:06:47.783 --> 00:06:49.785
<c.colorffff80>MR. MOUSTAFA: I
admire your work.</c>

00:06:52.955 --> 00:06:54.415
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon?</c>

00:06:56.167 --> 00:07:00.296
<c.colorffff80>I said, I know and admire
your wonderful work.</c>

00:07:01.297 --> 00:07:03.090
<c.colorffff80>Thank you most kindly, sir.</c>

00:07:03.257 --> 00:07:05.551
<c.colorffff80>Did Monsieur Jean have a word
or two to share with you</c>

00:07:05.635 --> 00:07:09.347
<c.colorffff80>about the aged proprietor
of this establishment?</c>

00:07:09.847 --> 00:07:14.060
<c.colorffff80>I must confess, I did
myself inquire about you.</c>

00:07:14.268 --> 00:07:16.854
<c.colorffff80>He's perfectly capable,
of course, Monsieur Jean</c>

00:07:17.063 --> 00:07:18.814
<c.colorffff80>but we can't claim he's a first,</c>

00:07:19.023 --> 00:07:21.692
<c.colorffff80>or, in earnest, even
second-rate concierge.</c>

00:07:21.776 --> 00:07:23.027
<c.colorffff80>But there it is.</c>

00:07:23.945 --> 00:07:25.738
<c.colorffff80>Times have changed.</c>

00:07:28.282 --> 00:07:31.953
<c.colorffff80>The thermal baths
are very beautiful.</c>

00:07:32.161 --> 00:07:33.704
<c.colorffff80>They were in their
first condition.</c>

00:07:33.871 --> 00:07:35.456
<c.colorffff80>It couldn't be
maintained, of course.</c>

00:07:35.623 --> 00:07:37.375
<c.colorffff80>Too decadent for current tastes.</c>

00:07:37.583 --> 00:07:42.255
<c.colorffff80>But I love it all just the same,
this enchanting old ruin.</c>

00:07:43.339 --> 00:07:45.883
<c.colorffff80>How did you come to
buy it, if I may ask?</c>

00:07:46.092 --> 00:07:48.094
<c.colorffff80>The Grand Budapest.</c>

00:07:57.853 --> 00:07:58.854
<c.colorffff80>I didn't.</c>

00:08:08.489 --> 00:08:10.324
<c.colorffff80>If you're not merely
being polite,</c>

00:08:10.533 --> 00:08:13.244
<c.colorffff80>and you must tell me
if that's the case,</c>

00:08:13.452 --> 00:08:16.455
<c.colorffff80>but if it genuinely
does interest you,</c>

00:08:16.664 --> 00:08:19.000
<c.colorffff80>may I invite you to
dine with me tonight,</c>

00:08:19.292 --> 00:08:23.004
<c.colorffff80>and it will be my pleasure and,
indeed, my privilege to tell you</c>

00:08:23.212 --> 00:08:26.632
<c.colorffff80>"my story." Such as it is.</c>

00:08:32.888 --> 00:08:34.807
<c.colorffff80>Two ducks roasted with olives.</c>

00:08:35.016 --> 00:08:37.393
<c.colorffff80>Rabbit, salad? Mmm.</c>

00:08:37.601 --> 00:08:40.313
<c.colorffff80>Pouilly-Jouvet '52, plus
a split of the brut.</c>

00:08:41.522 --> 00:08:44.650
<c.colorffff80>That should provide
us ample time</c>

00:08:44.859 --> 00:08:45.943
<c.colorffff80>if I commence promptly.</c>

00:08:46.068 --> 00:08:47.153
<c.colorffff80>By all means.</c>

00:09:07.048 --> 00:09:12.511
<c.colorffff80>Well, it begins, as it must, with
our mutual friend's predecessor.</c>

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.931
<c.colorffff80>The beloved, original concierge
of The Grand Budapest.</c>

00:09:17.308 --> 00:09:19.393
<c.colorffff80>It begins, of course, with...</c>

00:09:41.624 --> 00:09:43.876
<c.colorffff80>Bring the table to the window.
Yes, Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:09:44.085 --> 00:09:46.545
<c.colorffff80>Bring the tray to the table.
Right away, Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:09:46.754 --> 00:09:49.090
<c.colorffff80>Right there. Have those
been brushed and blocked?</c>

00:09:49.298 --> 00:09:51.092
<c.colorffff80>Of course, Monsieur Gustave.
Pack them in the hat boxes.</c>

00:09:51.175 --> 00:09:52.426
<c.colorffff80>Is that from
Oberstdorf &amp; Company?</c>

00:09:52.510 --> 00:09:53.469
<c.colorffff80>I believe so, Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:09:53.552 --> 00:09:55.346
<c.colorffff80>Second trunk. Who has the tickets?
I do, Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:09:55.429 --> 00:09:57.431
<c.colorffff80>Give them to me.</c>

00:09:58.474 --> 00:10:00.601
<c.colorffff80>These are in order.
Wait in the corner.</c>

00:10:08.818 --> 00:10:09.944
<c.colorffff80>I'm not leaving.</c>

00:10:10.069 --> 00:10:11.195
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon?</c>

00:10:11.404 --> 00:10:13.406
<c.colorffff80>I'm not leaving. Why not?</c>

00:10:13.614 --> 00:10:15.533
<c.colorffff80>I'm frightened. Of what?</c>

00:10:15.741 --> 00:10:17.868
<c.colorffff80>I fear this may be the last
time we ever see each other.</c>

00:10:18.077 --> 00:10:19.620
<c.colorffff80>Why on earth would
that be the case?</c>

00:10:19.829 --> 00:10:22.039
<c.colorffff80>Well, I can't put it into
words, but I feel it.</c>

00:10:22.248 --> 00:10:23.499
<c.colorffff80>For goodness sake,
there's no reason</c>

00:10:23.624 --> 00:10:24.834
<c.colorffff80>for you to leave us if you'd...</c>

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.460
<c.colorffff80>Come with me.</c>

00:10:26.585 --> 00:10:28.045
<c.colorffff80>To fucking Lutz?</c>

00:10:28.254 --> 00:10:30.339
<c.colorffff80>Please. Give me your hand.</c>

00:10:32.383 --> 00:10:35.469
<c.colorffff80>You've nothing to fear. You're
always anxious before you travel.</c>

00:10:35.553 --> 00:10:36.971
<c.colorffff80>I admit, you appear
to be suffering</c>

00:10:37.096 --> 00:10:38.472
<c.colorffff80>a more acute attack
on this occasion.</c>

00:10:38.556 --> 00:10:39.974
<c.colorffff80>But, truly and honestly...
Oh, dear God.</c>

00:10:40.099 --> 00:10:41.517
<c.colorffff80>What have you done
to your fingernails?</c>

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.436
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon? This
diabolical varnish.</c>

00:10:43.561 --> 00:10:45.521
<c.colorffff80>The color is completely wrong.
Don't you like it?</c>

00:10:45.604 --> 00:10:48.524
<c.colorffff80>It's not that I don't like it.
I am physically repulsed.</c>

00:10:49.483 --> 00:10:51.068
<c.colorffff80>Perhaps this will soothe you.</c>

00:10:51.235 --> 00:10:52.820
<c.colorffff80>What? Don't recite.</c>

00:10:53.028 --> 00:10:54.113
<c.colorffff80>Just listen to the words. Hush.</c>

00:10:54.238 --> 00:10:55.322
<c.colorffff80>Please. Not now.</c>

00:10:55.865 --> 00:10:59.410
<c.colorffff80>"While questing once in noble
wood of gray, medieval pine,</c>

00:10:59.618 --> 00:11:03.789
<c.colorffff80>"I came upon a tomb, rain-slick'd,
rubbed-cool, ethereal,</c>

00:11:03.998 --> 00:11:05.749
<c.colorffff80>"'its inscription long-vanished,</c>

00:11:05.958 --> 00:11:08.377
<c.colorffff80>"yet still within its
melancholy fissures..."</c>

00:11:09.503 --> 00:11:11.005
<c.colorffff80>MADAME D.: Will you light
a candle for me, please?</c>

00:11:12.339 --> 00:11:14.049
<c.colorffff80>In the sacristy of Santa Maria?</c>

00:11:14.175 --> 00:11:15.885
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: I'll see to
it myself immediately.</c>

00:11:16.594 --> 00:11:20.014
<c.colorffff80>Remember, I'm always with you.</c>

00:11:20.973 --> 00:11:22.266
<c.colorffff80>I love you.</c>

00:11:22.433 --> 00:11:23.726
<c.colorffff80>I love you.</c>

00:11:35.446 --> 00:11:37.823
<c.colorffff80>It's quite a thing winning the
loyalty of a woman like that</c>

00:11:38.032 --> 00:11:40.034
<c.colorffff80>for 19 consecutive seasons.</c>

00:11:40.826 --> 00:11:42.203
<c.colorffff80>Um... Yes, sir.</c>

00:11:42.328 --> 00:11:44.163
<c.colorffff80>She's very fond of me, you know.</c>

00:11:44.330 --> 00:11:45.331
<c.colorffff80>Yes, sir.</c>

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:47.458
<c.colorffff80>But I've never seen
her like that before.</c>

00:11:47.666 --> 00:11:48.667
<c.colorffff80>No, sir.</c>

00:11:48.876 --> 00:11:51.128
<c.colorffff80>She was shaking like
a shitting dog.</c>

00:11:52.546 --> 00:11:53.547
<c.colorffff80>Truly.</c>

00:11:53.714 --> 00:11:56.133
<c.colorffff80>Run to the cathedral of Santa
Maria in Brucknerplatz.</c>

00:11:56.342 --> 00:11:58.052
<c.colorffff80>Buy one of the plain,
half-length candles</c>

00:11:58.135 --> 00:11:59.595
<c.colorffff80>and take back four
Klubecks in change.</c>

00:11:59.803 --> 00:12:01.597
<c.colorffff80>Light it in the sacristy,
say a brief rosary</c>

00:12:01.805 --> 00:12:03.933
<c.colorffff80>then go to Mendl's and get
me a courtesan au chocolat.</c>

00:12:04.141 --> 00:12:06.602
<c.colorffff80>If there's any money left, give it
to the crippled shoe-shine boy.</c>

00:12:08.479 --> 00:12:09.480
<c.colorffff80>Right away, sir.</c>

00:12:09.605 --> 00:12:10.606
<c.colorffff80>Hold it.</c>

00:12:12.858 --> 00:12:14.652
<c.colorffff80>Who are you?</c>

00:12:14.777 --> 00:12:16.529
<c.colorffff80>I'm Zero, sir. The
new Lobby Boy.</c>

00:12:16.737 --> 00:12:17.947
<c.colorffff80>Zero, you say? Yes, sir.</c>

00:12:18.030 --> 00:12:19.406
<c.colorffff80>I've never heard of you,
never laid eyes on you.</c>

00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:20.491
<c.colorffff80>Who hired you?</c>

00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:21.825
<c.colorffff80>Mr. Mosher, sir.</c>

00:12:21.992 --> 00:12:23.118
<c.colorffff80>Mr. Mosher!</c>

00:12:24.411 --> 00:12:25.454
<c.colorffff80>Yes, Monsieur Gustave?</c>

00:12:25.663 --> 00:12:28.290
<c.colorffff80>Am I to understand you've
surreptitiously hired this young man</c>

00:12:28.374 --> 00:12:29.667
<c.colorffff80>in the position of a Lobby Boy?</c>

00:12:29.875 --> 00:12:31.627
<c.colorffff80>He's been engaged
for a trial period,</c>

00:12:31.752 --> 00:12:33.462
<c.colorffff80>pending your
approval, of course.</c>

00:12:33.546 --> 00:12:34.838
<c.colorffff80>Uh...</c>

00:12:34.964 --> 00:12:37.341
<c.colorffff80>Perhaps, yes. Thank you, Mr.
Mosher.</c>

00:12:37.466 --> 00:12:39.802
<c.colorffff80>You're most welcome,
Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:12:40.386 --> 00:12:42.680
<c.colorffff80>You're now going to be
officially interviewed.</c>

00:12:42.888 --> 00:12:45.057
<c.colorffff80>Should I go and light
the candle first, sir?</c>

00:12:45.266 --> 00:12:46.517
<c.colorffff80>What? No.</c>

00:12:50.271 --> 00:12:51.313
<c.colorffff80>Experience?</c>

00:12:51.522 --> 00:12:53.649
<c.colorffff80>Hotel Kinski, Kitchen
Boy, six months.</c>

00:12:53.857 --> 00:12:56.026
<c.colorffff80>Hotel Berlitz, Mop and
Broom Boy, three months.</c>

00:12:56.235 --> 00:12:57.570
<c.colorffff80>Before that I was a
Skillet Scrubber...</c>

00:12:57.695 --> 00:12:59.029
<c.colorffff80>Experience, zero.</c>

00:12:59.113 --> 00:13:00.114
<c.colorffff80>Thank you again,
Monsieur Gustave.</c>

00:13:00.197 --> 00:13:01.198
<c.colorffff80>Straighten that cap, Anatole.</c>

00:13:01.282 --> 00:13:03.158
<c.colorffff80>The pleasure's mine, <i>Herr</i> Schneider.
The strap's busted.</c>

00:13:03.242 --> 00:13:05.119
<c.colorffff80>These are not acceptable.
I fully agree.</c>

00:13:05.202 --> 00:13:06.537
<c.colorffff80>Education?</c>

00:13:06.662 --> 00:13:07.913
<c.colorffff80>I studied reading and spelling.</c>

00:13:08.122 --> 00:13:10.374
<c.colorffff80>I started my primary school.
I almost...</c>

00:13:10.583 --> 00:13:11.584
<c.colorffff80>Education, zero.</c>

00:13:11.709 --> 00:13:12.751
<c.colorffff80>Now it's exploded.</c>

00:13:12.876 --> 00:13:15.004
<c.colorffff80>Good morning, Cicero.
Call the goddamn plumber!</c>

00:13:15.087 --> 00:13:16.213
<c.colorffff80>This afternoon,
Monsieur Gustave?</c>

00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:17.506
<c.colorffff80>Without fail, Frau Liebling.</c>

00:13:17.590 --> 00:13:19.174
<c.colorffff80>What in hell is this? Not now.</c>

00:13:19.341 --> 00:13:21.343
<c.colorffff80>Family?</c>

00:13:23.762 --> 00:13:25.598
<c.colorffff80>Zero.</c>

00:13:25.806 --> 00:13:27.808
<c.colorffff80>Six, Igor.</c>

00:13:35.232 --> 00:13:37.067
<c.colorffff80>Why do you want to
be a Lobby Boy?</c>

00:13:39.069 --> 00:13:43.532
<c.colorffff80>Well, who wouldn't, at
the Grand Budapest, sir?</c>

00:13:43.741 --> 00:13:45.743
<c.colorffff80>It's an institution.</c>

00:13:48.621 --> 00:13:50.205
<c.colorffff80>Very good.</c>

00:14:05.471 --> 00:14:06.513
<c.colorffff80>A thousand Klubecks.</c>

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.681
<c.colorffff80>My goodness.</c>

00:14:08.974 --> 00:14:11.727
<c.colorffff80>Were you ever a Lobby Boy, sir?</c>

00:14:11.935 --> 00:14:12.936
<c.colorffff80>What do you think?</c>

00:14:13.145 --> 00:14:15.064
<c.colorffff80>Well, I suppose you'd have
to start somewhere...</c>

00:14:15.272 --> 00:14:16.940
<c.colorffff80>Go and light the goddamn candle.
Yes, sir.</c>

00:14:22.154 --> 00:14:24.156
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: And
so, my life began.</i></c>

00:14:26.992 --> 00:14:28.285
<c.colorffff80><i>Junior Lobby Boy in-training,</i></c>

00:14:28.494 --> 00:14:29.912
<c.colorffff80><i>Grand Budapest Hotel,</i></c>

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.290
<c.colorffff80><i>under the strict command
of Monsieur Gustave H.</i></c>

00:14:33.499 --> 00:14:36.627
<c.colorffff80><i>I became his pupil, and he was
to be my counselor and guardian.</i></c>

00:14:36.835 --> 00:14:38.545
<c.colorffff80><i>GUSTAVE H: What is</i> a <i>Lobby Boy?</i></c>

00:14:38.754 --> 00:14:42.132
<c.colorffff80><i>A Lobby Boy's completely
invisible, yet always in sight.</i></c>

00:14:42.383 --> 00:14:44.385
<c.colorffff80><i>A Lobby Boy remembers
what people hate.</i></c>

00:14:44.593 --> 00:14:46.387
<c.colorffff80><i>A Lobby Boy anticipates
the client's needs</i></c>

00:14:46.595 --> 00:14:48.680
<c.colorffff80><i>before the needs are needed.</i></c>

00:14:48.889 --> 00:14:51.975
<c.colorffff80><i>A Lobby Boy is, above
all, discreet to a fault.</i></c>

00:14:52.184 --> 00:14:54.269
<c.colorffff80>Our guests know their
deepest secrets,</c>

00:14:54.353 --> 00:14:55.938
<c.colorffff80>some of which are,
frankly, rather unseemly,</c>

00:14:56.021 --> 00:14:57.856
<c.colorffff80>will go with us to our graves.</c>

00:14:58.065 --> 00:14:59.316
<c.colorffff80>So keep your mouth shut, Zero.</c>

00:14:59.441 --> 00:15:00.692
<c.colorffff80>Yes, sir.</c>

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:04.780
<c.colorffff80>That's all for now.</c>

00:15:04.988 --> 00:15:06.907
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: I began to realize
that many of the hotel's</i></c>

00:15:07.116 --> 00:15:10.828
<c.colorffff80><i>most valued and distinguished
guests came for him.</i></c>

00:15:11.036 --> 00:15:12.663
<c.colorffff80><i>It seemed to be an essential
part of his duties...</i></c>

00:15:12.746 --> 00:15:14.081
<c.colorffff80>Ah!</c>

00:15:14.164 --> 00:15:16.417
<c.colorffff80><i>...but I believe it was
also his pleasure.</i></c>

00:15:18.502 --> 00:15:20.462
<c.colorffff80><i>The requirements were
always the same.</i></c>

00:15:20.671 --> 00:15:23.132
<c.colorffff80><i>They had to be rich,</i></c>

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:24.425
<c.colorffff80><i>old,</i></c>

00:15:24.633 --> 00:15:25.801
<c.colorffff80>insecure,</c>

00:15:26.009 --> 00:15:27.052
<c.colorffff80><i>vain,</i></c>

00:15:27.261 --> 00:15:28.512
<c.colorffff80><i>superficial,</i></c>

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.805
<c.colorffff80><i>blonde,</i></c>

00:15:30.013 --> 00:15:31.515
<c.colorffff80>needy.</c>

00:15:32.724 --> 00:15:34.726
<c.colorffff80>Why blonde?</c>

00:15:36.854 --> 00:15:38.147
<c.colorffff80>Because they all were.</c>

00:15:38.439 --> 00:15:39.731
<c.colorffff80><i>He was, by the way,</i></c>

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:43.527
<c.colorffff80><i>the most liberally perfumed
man I had ever encountered.</i></c>

00:15:43.735 --> 00:15:46.572
<c.colorffff80><i>The scent announced his
approach from a great distance</i></c>

00:15:48.073 --> 00:15:50.576
<c.colorffff80><i>and lingered for many
minutes after he was gone.</i></c>

00:15:52.661 --> 00:15:55.456
<c.colorffff80><i>I worked six days each week
plus a half-day Sunday,</i></c>

00:15:55.664 --> 00:15:57.916
<c.colorffff80><i>5:00 AM until just
after midnight.</i></c>

00:15:59.084 --> 00:16:01.670
<c.colorffff80><i>Our meals were small but
frequent, for stamina.</i></c>

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.673
<c.colorffff80><i>Two breakfasts, two lunches
and a late supper.</i></c>

00:16:05.841 --> 00:16:09.094
<c.colorffff80><i>Monsieur Gustave also
delivered</i> a <i>nightly sermon.</i></c>

00:16:09.303 --> 00:16:12.389
<c.colorffff80>Rudeness is merely the
expression of fear.</c>

00:16:12.598 --> 00:16:14.808
<c.colorffff80>People fear they won't
get what they want.</c>

00:16:15.017 --> 00:16:18.520
<c.colorffff80>The most dreadful and unattractive
person only needs to be loved,</c>

00:16:18.729 --> 00:16:21.148
<c.colorffff80>and they will open
up like a flower.</c>

00:16:21.356 --> 00:16:22.941
<c.colorffff80>I am reminded of a verse,</c>

00:16:23.150 --> 00:16:25.569
<c.colorffff80>"The painter's brush
touched the inchoate face</c>

00:16:25.777 --> 00:16:27.738
<c.colorffff80>"by ends of nimble bristles</c>

00:16:27.946 --> 00:16:29.823
<c.colorffff80>"and with their blush
of first color,</c>

00:16:29.948 --> 00:16:31.825
<c.colorffff80>"rendered her lifeless
cheek living."</c>

00:16:32.034 --> 00:16:35.078
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: His own dinner,
he took alone in his room.</i></c>

00:16:40.792 --> 00:16:44.463
<c.colorffff80><i>The identity of the owner of the
hotel was unknown to all of us.</i></c>

00:16:44.671 --> 00:16:48.467
<c.colorffff80><i>Each month, his emissary, known

00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.103
<c.colorffff80><i>Herr Becker, met with him in private
consultation above Reception.</i></c>

00:17:12.908 --> 00:17:15.369
<c.colorffff80><i>This was also when I met Agatha,</i></c>

00:17:33.554 --> 00:17:35.556
<c.colorffff80><i>but we won't discuss that.</i></c>

00:18:26.481 --> 00:18:27.482
<c.colorffff80>What do you want? Look.</c>

00:18:32.571 --> 00:18:33.739
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: Dear God.</c>

00:18:34.031 --> 00:18:35.198
<c.colorffff80>I'm terribly sorry, sir.</c>

00:18:35.407 --> 00:18:36.408
<c.colorffff80>We must go to her.</c>

00:18:36.491 --> 00:18:37.492
<c.colorffff80>We must?</c>

00:18:37.618 --> 00:18:39.328
<c.colorffff80>Tout de suite. She
needs me, and I need</c>

00:18:39.453 --> 00:18:41.163
<c.colorffff80>you to help me with
my bags and so on.</c>

00:18:43.123 --> 00:18:44.833
<c.colorffff80>How fast can you pack?
Five minutes.</c>

00:18:45.042 --> 00:18:47.002
<c.colorffff80>Do it. And bring a bottle
of the Pouilly-Jouvet '26</c>

00:18:47.085 --> 00:18:48.295
<c.colorffff80>in an ice bucket
with two glasses</c>

00:18:48.378 --> 00:18:51.340
<c.colorffff80>so we don't have to drink the cat
piss they serve in the dining car.</c>

00:19:00.390 --> 00:19:02.517
<c.colorffff80>I blame myself.</c>

00:19:03.268 --> 00:19:06.563
<c.colorffff80>She tried to tell me she had a premonition.
I didn't listen.</c>

00:19:06.772 --> 00:19:08.357
<c.colorffff80>All of Lutz will be
dressed in black,</c>

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.484
<c.colorffff80>except her own ghastly,
deceitful children</c>

00:19:10.567 --> 00:19:12.736
<c.colorffff80>whom she loathed and
couldn't bear to kiss hello.</c>

00:19:12.944 --> 00:19:15.238
<c.colorffff80>They'll be dancing like gypsies.</c>

00:19:18.241 --> 00:19:20.327
<c.colorffff80>There's really no point in
doing anything in life,</c>

00:19:20.410 --> 00:19:22.287
<c.colorffff80>because it's all over in
the blink of an eye...</c>

00:19:22.412 --> 00:19:25.374
<c.colorffff80>And, the next thing you
know, rigor mortis sets in.</c>

00:19:25.582 --> 00:19:28.418
<c.colorffff80>Oh, how the good die young.</c>

00:19:28.627 --> 00:19:31.588
<c.colorffff80>With any luck, she's left a few
Klubecks for your old friend,</c>

00:19:31.755 --> 00:19:33.340
<c.colorffff80>but one never knows
until the ink</c>

00:19:33.465 --> 00:19:35.050
<c.colorffff80>is dry on the death certificate.</c>

00:19:36.551 --> 00:19:38.387
<c.colorffff80>She was dynamite in
the sack, by the way.</c>

00:19:40.430 --> 00:19:42.766
<c.colorffff80><i>She was 84, Monsieur Gustave.</i></c>

00:19:42.933 --> 00:19:44.434
<c.colorffff80>I've had older.</c>

00:19:44.601 --> 00:19:46.228
<c.colorffff80>When you're young,
it's all fillet steak,</c>

00:19:46.436 --> 00:19:49.439
<c.colorffff80>but as the years go by, you have
to move on to the cheaper cuts,</c>

00:19:49.606 --> 00:19:51.900
<c.colorffff80>which is fine with me,
because I like those.</c>

00:19:52.109 --> 00:19:54.361
<c.colorffff80>More flavorful, or so they say.</c>

00:19:57.739 --> 00:19:59.741
<c.colorffff80>Why are we stopping
at a barley field?</c>

00:20:14.965 --> 00:20:16.675
<c.colorffff80>Well, hello there, chaps.</c>

00:20:16.967 --> 00:20:18.301
<c.colorffff80>Documents, please.</c>

00:20:18.510 --> 00:20:20.512
<c.colorffff80>With pleasure.</c>

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.476
<c.colorffff80>It's not a very flattering
portrait, I'm afraid.</c>

00:20:26.685 --> 00:20:28.311
<c.colorffff80>I was once considered
a great beauty.</c>

00:20:29.646 --> 00:20:31.982
<c.colorffff80>What does the "F" stand for?
Fritz? Franz?</c>

00:20:32.190 --> 00:20:33.442
<c.colorffff80>Franz.</c>

00:20:33.567 --> 00:20:34.776
<c.colorffff80>I knew it!</c>

00:20:36.153 --> 00:20:38.029
<c.colorffff80>He's making a funny face.</c>

00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:41.825
<c.colorffff80>That's a Migratory Visa with Stage
Three Worker Status, Franz, darling.</c>

00:20:41.992 --> 00:20:44.119
<c.colorffff80>He's with me.</c>

00:20:44.953 --> 00:20:45.996
<c.colorffff80>Come outside, please.</c>

00:20:47.497 --> 00:20:50.459
<c.colorffff80>Now, wait a minute. Sit down, Zero.
His papers are in order.</c>

00:20:50.667 --> 00:20:52.127
<c.colorffff80>I cross-referenced
them myself with</c>

00:20:52.252 --> 00:20:53.670
<c.colorffff80>the Bureau of Labor
and Servitude.</c>

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:55.714
<c.colorffff80>You can't arrest him simply
because he's a bloody immigrant.</c>

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.008
<c.colorffff80>He hasn't done anything wrong.</c>

00:21:03.638 --> 00:21:05.557
<c.colorffff80>Stop it, damn you!</c>

00:21:05.807 --> 00:21:07.851
<c.colorffff80>Never mind, Monsieur Gustave!
Let them proceed!</c>

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:09.686
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: Ow! That hurts!</c>

00:21:12.522 --> 00:21:15.317
<c.colorffff80>You filthy, goddamn,
pock-marked, fascist assholes!</c>

00:21:15.525 --> 00:21:17.819
<c.colorffff80>Take your hands
off my Lobby Boy!</c>

00:21:29.706 --> 00:21:31.041
<c.colorffff80>What's the problem?</c>

00:21:31.208 --> 00:21:32.292
<c.colorffff80>This is outrageous.</c>

00:21:32.375 --> 00:21:35.045
<c.colorffff80>The young man works for me at the
Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad.</c>

00:21:37.047 --> 00:21:38.381
<c.colorffff80><i>Monsieur Gustave?</i></c>

00:21:41.218 --> 00:21:43.220
<c.colorffff80>My name is Henckels.</c>

00:21:44.554 --> 00:21:47.599
<c.colorffff80>I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs.
Wolfgang Henckels-Bergersdörfer.</c>

00:21:47.849 --> 00:21:49.559
<c.colorffff80>Do you remember me?</c>

00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:54.231
<c.colorffff80>I know exactly who you are. It's uncanny.
You're little Albert.</c>

00:21:54.397 --> 00:21:56.233
<c.colorffff80>I'm terribly embarrassed.
Release them.</c>

00:21:57.108 --> 00:21:59.236
<c.colorffff80>Release them.</c>

00:22:04.241 --> 00:22:05.242
<c.colorffff80>Hmm.</c>

00:22:06.034 --> 00:22:07.285
<c.colorffff80>Your colleague is stateless.</c>

00:22:07.536 --> 00:22:09.746
<c.colorffff80>He'll need to apply for a
revised Special Transit Permit,</c>

00:22:09.955 --> 00:22:13.250
<c.colorffff80>which at this point may be
very difficult to acquire.</c>

00:22:13.416 --> 00:22:14.417
<c.colorffff80>Take this.</c>

00:22:16.086 --> 00:22:17.462
<c.colorffff80>It's temporary</c>

00:22:17.546 --> 00:22:18.964
<c.colorffff80>but it's the best I can
offer, I'm afraid.</c>

00:22:19.047 --> 00:22:21.216
<c.colorffff80>And how's your wonderful mother?</c>

00:22:21.424 --> 00:22:23.343
<c.colorffff80>She's very well, thank you.
I adore her.</c>

00:22:23.426 --> 00:22:25.720
<c.colorffff80>Send my love. I will.</c>

00:22:26.638 --> 00:22:28.473
<c.colorffff80>Your companion was
very kind to me</c>

00:22:28.598 --> 00:22:30.475
<c.colorffff80>when I was a lonely little boy.</c>

00:22:31.560 --> 00:22:33.979
<c.colorffff80>My men and I apologize
for disturbing you.</c>

00:22:34.229 --> 00:22:36.231
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon, sir.</c>

00:22:52.581 --> 00:22:55.792
<c.colorffff80>You see? There are still faint
glimmers of civilization</c>

00:22:56.001 --> 00:22:57.794
<c.colorffff80>left in this barbaric
slaughterhouse</c>

00:22:57.919 --> 00:22:59.671
<c.colorffff80>that was once known as humanity.</c>

00:22:59.921 --> 00:23:01.298
<c.colorffff80>Indeed, that's what we provide</c>

00:23:01.381 --> 00:23:04.175
<c.colorffff80>in our own modest,
humble, insignificant...</c>

00:23:05.677 --> 00:23:07.679
<c.colorffff80>Oh, fuck it.</c>

00:23:39.002 --> 00:23:41.796
<c.colorffff80>Where is she, Clotilde?
Take me to her.</c>

00:24:17.374 --> 00:24:19.376
<c.colorffff80>You're looking so well, darling.
You really are.</c>

00:24:19.584 --> 00:24:20.919
<c.colorffff80>They've done a marvelous job.</c>

00:24:21.169 --> 00:24:22.295
<c.colorffff80>I don't know what sort of cream</c>

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:23.546
<c.colorffff80>they've put on you
down at the morgue,</c>

00:24:23.755 --> 00:24:25.048
<c.colorffff80>but I want some.</c>

00:24:25.256 --> 00:24:27.509
<c.colorffff80>Honestly, you look better
than you have in years.</c>

00:24:27.717 --> 00:24:29.719
<c.colorffff80>You look like you're alive.</c>

00:24:35.392 --> 00:24:39.229
<c.colorffff80>Oh, you changed it after all.
It's perfect.</c>

00:24:39.437 --> 00:24:41.231
<c.colorffff80>Clotilde? Oui, Monsieur Gustave?</c>

00:24:41.398 --> 00:24:43.441
<c.colorffff80>A glass of chilled water
with no ice, please.</c>

00:24:43.858 --> 00:24:44.943
<c.colorffff80>Yes. M. Gustave --</c>

00:24:45.026 --> 00:24:48.238
<c.colorffff80>-- and. also. M. Serge would like to speak
with you privately in his office. please.</c>

00:24:49.239 --> 00:24:50.323
<c.colorffff80>Oh.</c>

00:24:50.698 --> 00:24:52.409
<c.colorffff80>All right, then.</c>

00:24:52.617 --> 00:24:54.619
<c.colorffff80>I shan't be long, darling.</c>

00:24:55.870 --> 00:24:57.914
<c.colorffff80>MR. MOUSTAFA: We were escorted
through a green baize door,</c>

00:24:58.081 --> 00:25:01.459
<c.colorffff80><i>down a narrow service corridor
and into the butler's pantry.</i></c>

00:25:04.379 --> 00:25:06.464
<c.colorffff80><i>A moment later, the kitchen
passage swung open</i></c>

00:25:06.589 --> 00:25:09.926
<c.colorffff80><i>and a small servant dressed in
white jolted into the room.</i></c>

00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:13.096
<c.colorffff80><i>I've never forgotten the
look on that man's face.</i></c>

00:25:13.930 --> 00:25:15.932
<c.colorffff80>What the devil is going on?</c>

00:25:16.558 --> 00:25:18.351
<c.colorffff80><i>I, myself, had never
set foot inside</i></c>

00:25:18.476 --> 00:25:20.270
<c.colorffff80>a <i>house of this kind in my life.</i></c>

00:25:21.729 --> 00:25:24.232
<c.colorffff80><i>I understood very little about
the events that were to follow.</i></c>

00:25:24.441 --> 00:25:27.402
<c.colorffff80><i>But, eventually, I
came to recognize,</i></c>

00:25:27.610 --> 00:25:31.114
<c.colorffff80><i>when the destiny of a great
fortune is at stake,</i></c>

00:25:31.322 --> 00:25:35.076
<c.colorffff80><i>men's greed spreads like a
poison in the bloodstream.</i></c>

00:25:38.413 --> 00:25:40.582
<c.colorffff80><i>Uncles, nephews, cousins,</i></c>

00:25:40.790 --> 00:25:43.418
<c.colorffff80><i>in-laws of increasingly
tenuous connection.</i></c>

00:25:43.626 --> 00:25:45.128
<c.colorffff80><i>The old woman's most
distant relations</i></c>

00:25:45.336 --> 00:25:47.464
<c.colorffff80><i>had come foraging out
of the woodwork.</i></c>

00:25:49.090 --> 00:25:51.092
<c.colorffff80><i>At the head of
this congregation,</i></c>

00:25:51.217 --> 00:25:53.261
<c.colorffff80><i>it was a disorienting
coincidence,</i></c>

00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:56.181
<c.colorffff80><i>we discovered our
own Deputy Kovacs,</i></c>

00:25:56.431 --> 00:25:59.142
<c.colorffff80><i>himself an important
attorney, of course.</i></c>

00:25:59.350 --> 00:26:02.687
<c.colorffff80><i>He was the executor of
the dead widow's estate.</i></c>

00:26:09.527 --> 00:26:12.530
<c.colorffff80>This is Madame D's last
will and testament.</c>

00:26:13.823 --> 00:26:15.825
<c.colorffff80>It consists of a general tontine</c>

00:26:15.992 --> 00:26:19.871
<c.colorffff80>drawn up before the event of her
husband's death 46 years ago,</c>

00:26:20.121 --> 00:26:23.291
<c.colorffff80>in combination with
635 amendments,</c>

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:26.169
<c.colorffff80>notations, corrections,
and letters of wishes</c>

00:26:26.377 --> 00:26:29.464
<c.colorffff80>executed during the
subsequent decades.</c>

00:26:31.716 --> 00:26:33.468
<c.colorffff80>The ultimate legality
of this accumulation</c>

00:26:33.676 --> 00:26:34.844
<c.colorffff80>requires further analysis,</c>

00:26:35.011 --> 00:26:38.056
<c.colorffff80>but in the opinion of this office,
it was Madame D's intention</c>

00:26:38.306 --> 00:26:40.183
<c.colorffff80>that control of the
vast bulk of her estate</c>

00:26:40.350 --> 00:26:43.019
<c.colorffff80>should be transferred,
forthwith, to her son, Dmitri,</c>

00:26:43.228 --> 00:26:45.855
<c.colorffff80>with special allowances
for his sisters,</c>

00:26:46.064 --> 00:26:48.483
<c.colorffff80>Marguerite, Laetizia,
and Carolina,</c>

00:26:48.691 --> 00:26:51.694
<c.colorffff80>and minor gifts for various
members of the extended family</c>

00:26:51.903 --> 00:26:53.613
<c.colorffff80>as shown in the
List of Recipients,</c>

00:26:53.738 --> 00:26:55.406
<c.colorffff80>which I will elucidate
in due course.</c>

00:26:57.742 --> 00:26:58.868
<c.colorffff80>However.</c>

00:27:02.413 --> 00:27:03.706
<c.colorffff80>An additional codicil,</c>

00:27:03.873 --> 00:27:07.210
<c.colorffff80>delivered into my possession
by post only this morning,</c>

00:27:07.377 --> 00:27:09.754
<c.colorffff80>and, by all indications,
sent by Madame D</c>

00:27:10.004 --> 00:27:11.256
<c.colorffff80>during the last
hours of her life,</c>

00:27:11.506 --> 00:27:14.008
<c.colorffff80>contains an amendment to
the original certificate,</c>

00:27:14.217 --> 00:27:18.221
<c.colorffff80>which, as prescribed by law,
I will read to you now.</c>

00:27:18.388 --> 00:27:19.556
<c.colorffff80>The authenticity
of this document</c>

<c.colorffff80>How's that supposed
to make me feel?</c>

00:28:35.465 --> 00:28:37.508
<c.colorffff80>Call the police. We're
pressing charges.</c>

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.762
<c.colorffff80>This criminal has plagued my
family for nearly 20 years.</c>

00:28:40.970 --> 00:28:42.930
<c.colorffff80>He's a ruthless adventurer
and a con-artist</c>

00:28:43.014 --> 00:28:45.141
<c.colorffff80>who preys on mentally
feeble, sick old ladies,</c>

00:28:45.350 --> 00:28:47.435
<c.colorffff80>and he probably fucks them, too!</c>

00:28:47.644 --> 00:28:49.771
<c.colorffff80>I go to bed with all my friends.</c>

00:28:59.155 --> 00:29:01.324
<c.colorffff80>Where's Céline?</c>

00:29:01.491 --> 00:29:02.909
<c.colorffff80>What?</c>

00:29:02.992 --> 00:29:05.036
<c.colorffff80>She's dead. We're
reading her will.</c>

00:29:05.286 --> 00:29:07.497
<c.colorffff80>Oh, yes, yes, of course.</c>

00:29:07.705 --> 00:29:10.541
<c.colorffff80>If I learn you ever once laid
a finger on my mother's body,</c>

00:29:10.792 --> 00:29:12.377
<c.colorffff80>living or dead, I swear to God,</c>

00:29:12.502 --> 00:29:14.128
<c.colorffff80>I'll out your throat!
You hear me?</c>

00:29:14.337 --> 00:29:16.464
<c.colorffff80>I thought I was supposed
to be a fucking faggot.</c>

00:29:17.548 --> 00:29:18.758
<c.colorffff80>You are, but you're bisexual.</c>

00:29:18.883 --> 00:29:20.134
<c.colorffff80>Let's change the subject.</c>

00:29:20.343 --> 00:29:21.386
<c.colorffff80>I'm leaving.</c>

00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:30.269
<c.colorffff80>Wait here quietly. please.</c>

00:29:30.478 --> 00:29:33.690
<c.colorffff80>That picture, Boy <i>with</i> Apple,
is priceless. Understand?</c>

00:29:33.898 --> 00:29:35.400
<c.colorffff80>Congratulations,
Monsieur Gustave!</c>

00:29:35.650 --> 00:29:37.360
<c.colorffff80>They're going to fight me
for the son of a bitch.</c>

00:29:37.568 --> 00:29:38.653
<c.colorffff80>Is it very beautiful?</c>

00:29:38.778 --> 00:29:39.862
<c.colorffff80>Beyond description.</c>

00:29:40.071 --> 00:29:42.532
<c.colorffff80>"E'en the most gifted
bard's rhyme can only sing</c>

00:29:42.699 --> 00:29:44.742
<c.colorffff80>"but to the lack of her
and all she isn't!</c>

00:29:44.992 --> 00:29:47.370
<c.colorffff80>"His tongue doth..."
Can I see it?</c>

00:29:47.578 --> 00:29:49.580
<c.colorffff80>I don't see why not.</c>

00:30:21.195 --> 00:30:23.614
<c.colorffff80>This is van Hoytl's
exquisite portrayal</c>

00:30:23.865 --> 00:30:26.075
<c.colorffff80>of a beautiful boy on
the cusp of manhood.</c>

00:30:26.242 --> 00:30:28.911
<c.colorffff80>Blond, smooth. Skin as
white as that milk.</c>

00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:30.455
<c.colorffff80>Of impeccable provenance.</c>

00:30:30.705 --> 00:30:34.208
<c.colorffff80>One of the last in private hands,
and unquestionably, the best.</c>

00:30:34.417 --> 00:30:35.710
<c.colorffff80>It's a masterpiece.</c>

00:30:35.918 --> 00:30:37.962
<c.colorffff80>The rest of this shit
is worthless junk.</c>

00:31:25.051 --> 00:31:26.969
<c.colorffff80><i>M. Gustave ?</i></c>

00:31:29.305 --> 00:31:31.140
<c.colorffff80>Can I help you?</c>

00:31:32.141 --> 00:31:33.016
<c.colorffff80>Yes. Serge.</c>

00:31:33.017 --> 00:31:34.936
<c.colorffff80>You can wrap this up. please.</c>

00:31:35.186 --> 00:31:36.280
<c.colorffff80>Wrap up --</c>

00:31:36.312 --> 00:31:37.912
<c.colorffff80>Wrap up -- "Boy With Apple"?</c>

00:31:57.041 --> 00:31:59.502
<c.colorffff80>What did you want
to tell me, before?</c>

00:32:00.836 --> 00:32:02.838
<c.colorffff80>I think I cannot say right now.</c>

00:32:03.047 --> 00:32:05.341
<c.colorffff80>Write me tomorrow.
Lutzbahn Station!</c>

00:32:17.311 --> 00:32:19.313
<c.colorffff80>I'll never part with it.</c>

00:32:19.522 --> 00:32:23.901
<c.colorffff80>It reminded her of me. It will
remind me of her. Always.</c>

00:32:24.151 --> 00:32:26.821
<c.colorffff80>I'll die with this
picture above my bed.</c>

00:32:27.029 --> 00:32:29.031
<c.colorffff80>See the resemblance?</c>

00:32:30.032 --> 00:32:32.034
<c.colorffff80>Oh, yes.</c>

00:32:37.373 --> 00:32:39.083
<c.colorffff80>Actually, we should sell it.</c>

00:32:39.333 --> 00:32:42.336
<c.colorffff80>Sooner rather than later, in
case they try to steal it back.</c>

00:32:42.545 --> 00:32:43.838
<c.colorffff80>Plus, something
about those lunatic</c>

00:32:43.963 --> 00:32:45.256
<c.colorffff80>foot-soldiers on the express...</c>

00:32:45.506 --> 00:32:48.884
<c.colorffff80>This could be a tricky war and a
long dry spell in the hotel trade.</c>

00:32:49.051 --> 00:32:51.596
<c.colorffff80>For all we know, they could
board us up tomorrow.</c>

00:32:57.935 --> 00:32:59.895
<c.colorffff80>Let's make a solemn blood-pact.</c>

00:33:00.104 --> 00:33:02.398
<c.colorffff80>We'll contact the black market
and liquidate Boy <i>with</i> Apple</c>

00:33:02.607 --> 00:33:03.608
<c.colorffff80>by the end of the week,</c>

00:33:03.691 --> 00:33:05.067
<c.colorffff80>then leave the
country and lay low</c>

00:33:05.234 --> 00:33:06.611
<c.colorffff80>somewhere along the
Maltese Riviera</c>

00:33:06.861 --> 00:33:09.363
<c.colorffff80>until the troubles blow over
and we resume our posts.</c>

00:33:09.572 --> 00:33:11.282
<c.colorffff80>In exchange for your
help, your loyalty</c>

00:33:11.532 --> 00:33:13.284
<c.colorffff80>and your services as
my personal valet,</c>

00:33:13.534 --> 00:33:18.039
<c.colorffff80>I pledge to you 1.5%
of the net sale price.</c>

00:33:18.247 --> 00:33:20.249
<c.colorffff80>1.5? Plus room and board.</c>

00:33:21.751 --> 00:33:24.128
<c.colorffff80>Could we make it 10? 10?
Are you joking?</c>

00:33:24.378 --> 00:33:26.088
<c.colorffff80>That's more than I'd
pay an actual dealer,</c>

00:33:26.255 --> 00:33:28.591
<c.colorffff80>and you wouldn't know Chiaroscuro
from chicken giblets.</c>

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.468
<c.colorffff80>No, 1.5 is correct. But
I'll tell you what,</c>

00:33:30.718 --> 00:33:33.888
<c.colorffff80>if I die first, and I most certainly
will, you will be my sole heir.</c>

00:33:34.096 --> 00:33:35.431
<c.colorffff80>There's not much in
the kitty except</c>

00:33:35.556 --> 00:33:36.891
<c.colorffff80>a set of ivory-backed
hairbrushes</c>

00:33:37.099 --> 00:33:38.434
<c.colorffff80>and my library of
romantic poetry,</c>

00:33:38.643 --> 00:33:41.270
<c.colorffff80>but when the time comes,
these will be yours,</c>

00:33:41.479 --> 00:33:44.774
<c.colorffff80>along with whatever we haven't
already spent on whores and whiskey.</c>

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:47.568
<c.colorffff80>This is our sacred bond.</c>

00:33:47.777 --> 00:33:49.779
<c.colorffff80>I'll draw it up right now.</c>

00:33:54.784 --> 00:33:58.829
<c.colorffff80>I, Monsieur Gustave H, being of
relatively sound mind and body,</c>

00:33:59.080 --> 00:34:00.915
<c.colorffff80>on this day, the
19th of October,</c>

00:34:01.040 --> 00:34:02.917
<c.colorffff80>in the year of our Lord 1932...</c>

00:34:03.125 --> 00:34:05.961
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: He never told
me where he came from.</i></c>

00:34:09.423 --> 00:34:11.676
<c.colorffff80><i>I never asked who his
family had been.</i></c>

00:34:32.613 --> 00:34:34.615
<c.colorffff80>Excuse me.</c>

00:34:35.282 --> 00:34:36.283
<c.colorffff80>Uh-huh?</c>

00:34:37.451 --> 00:34:40.830
<c.colorffff80>The police are here.
They asked for you.</c>

00:34:44.709 --> 00:34:46.711
<c.colorffff80>Tell them I'll be right down.</c>

00:34:47.503 --> 00:34:49.505
<c.colorffff80>Okay.</c>

00:34:54.802 --> 00:34:56.721
<c.colorffff80>Have you ever been questioned
by the authorities?</c>

00:34:56.971 --> 00:34:58.222
<c.colorffff80>Yes, on one occasion
I was arrested</c>

00:34:58.347 --> 00:34:59.640
<c.colorffff80>and tortured by
the rebel militia</c>

00:34:59.849 --> 00:35:00.891
<c.colorffff80>after the Desert Uprising.</c>

00:35:01.142 --> 00:35:03.060
<c.colorffff80>You know the drill, then.
Zip it. Of course.</c>

00:35:03.310 --> 00:35:06.689
<c.colorffff80>You've never heard the word "van
Hoytl" in your life. Okay, let's go.</c>

00:35:21.704 --> 00:35:23.706
<c.colorffff80>How may we serve you, gentlemen?</c>

00:35:25.040 --> 00:35:26.167
<c.colorffff80>Ah, Inspector Henckels.</c>

00:35:26.375 --> 00:35:28.919
<c.colorffff80>"By order of the Commissioner
of Police, Zubrowka Province,</c>

00:35:29.170 --> 00:35:30.880
<c.colorffff80>"I hereby place you under
arrest for the murder</c>

00:35:31.088 --> 00:35:33.549
<c.colorffff80>"of Madame Céline Villeneuve
Desgoffe und Taxis."</c>

00:35:33.716 --> 00:35:35.217
<c.colorffff80>I knew there was
something fishy.</c>

00:35:35.342 --> 00:35:36.844
<c.colorffff80>We never got the cause of death.</c>

00:35:37.052 --> 00:35:40.222
<c.colorffff80>She's been murdered and
you think I did it.</c>

00:35:41.891 --> 00:35:43.893
<c.colorffff80>HENCKELS: Hey!</c>

00:35:45.728 --> 00:35:47.730
<c.colorffff80>Stop!</c>

00:36:36.904 --> 00:36:38.948
<c.colorffff80>What happened?</c>

00:36:39.156 --> 00:36:41.617
<c.colorffff80>What happened, my dear Zero,
is I beat the living shit</c>

00:36:41.784 --> 00:36:44.453
<c.colorffff80>out of a sniveling little
runt called Pinky Bandinski</c>

00:36:44.662 --> 00:36:46.455
<c.colorffff80>who had the gall to
question my virility,</c>

00:36:46.622 --> 00:36:48.916
<c.colorffff80>because if there's one thing we've
learned from penny dreadfuls,</c>

00:36:49.124 --> 00:36:51.126
<c.colorffff80>it's that, when you find
yourself in a place like this,</c>

00:36:51.335 --> 00:36:52.795
<c.colorffff80>you must never be a candy-ass.</c>

00:36:53.003 --> 00:36:54.964
<c.colorffff80>You've got to prove
yourself from Day One.</c>

00:36:55.130 --> 00:36:56.632
<c.colorffff80>You've got to win their respect.</c>

00:36:56.966 --> 00:37:00.094
<c.colorffff80>You should take a long look
at his ugly mug this morning.</c>

00:37:03.430 --> 00:37:05.266
<c.colorffff80>He's, actually,
become a dear friend.</c>

00:37:05.474 --> 00:37:06.976
<c.colorffff80>You'll meet him, I hope.</c>

00:37:07.977 --> 00:37:10.020
<c.colorffff80>So. You've talked to Kovacs?</c>

00:37:10.271 --> 00:37:11.647
<c.colorffff80>I saw him last night in secret.</c>

00:37:11.855 --> 00:37:14.024
<c.colorffff80>He made me take an oath on a
Bible I wouldn't tell a soul.</c>

00:37:14.275 --> 00:37:15.359
<c.colorffff80>You're supposed to also.</c>

00:37:15.484 --> 00:37:16.652
<c.colorffff80>I'll do that later.</c>

00:37:16.819 --> 00:37:17.987
<c.colorffff80>He suspects you're innocent.</c>

00:37:18.153 --> 00:37:19.321
<c.colorffff80>Of course he does.</c>

00:37:19.488 --> 00:37:21.282
<c.colorffff80>What's the charge?</c>

00:37:22.700 --> 00:37:25.661
<c.colorffff80>In the small hours of the
evening of 19 October,</c>

00:37:25.869 --> 00:37:28.914
<c.colorffff80>an individual well-known to the house
and staff, a Monsieur Gustave H,</c>

00:37:29.123 --> 00:37:32.251
<c.colorffff80>did arrive at the Desgoffe
und Taxis residence in Lutz</c>

00:37:32.459 --> 00:37:34.962
<c.colorffff80>and entered by the
rear service alley,</c>

00:37:35.170 --> 00:37:36.505
<c.colorffff80>alerting no one to his presence,</c>

00:37:36.714 --> 00:37:40.467
<c.colorffff80>and did then proceed by way of
back stairs and servants' passage,</c>

00:37:40.676 --> 00:37:43.012
<c.colorffff80>to deliver himself into the
private chambers of Madame D.</c>

00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:45.764
<c.colorffff80>There is no evidence to
indicate whether this visit</c>

00:37:45.973 --> 00:37:48.434
<c.colorffff80>had been pre-arranged
with her or not.</c>

00:37:48.642 --> 00:37:53.522
<c.colorffff80>The next morning Madame D was found
dead by strychnine poisoning.</c>

00:37:53.731 --> 00:37:55.858
<c.colorffff80>Monsieur Gustave was not
observed on the premises again</c>

00:37:56.066 --> 00:37:59.236
<c.colorffff80>until, of course,
24 hours later.</c>

00:37:59.445 --> 00:38:01.697
<c.colorffff80>The identity of his
accusers is made</c>

00:38:01.864 --> 00:38:04.116
<c.colorffff80>clear in this
notarized deposition.</c>

00:38:04.325 --> 00:38:07.745
<c.colorffff80>They include, essentially, all
members of the extended family,</c>

00:38:07.953 --> 00:38:12.666
<c.colorffff80>but the key witness who actually
ostensibly saw the alleged events</c>

00:38:12.875 --> 00:38:15.502
<c.colorffff80>appears to have fled
the jurisdiction.</c>

00:38:15.711 --> 00:38:17.379
<c.colorffff80>His whereabouts are
currently unknown,</c>

00:38:17.588 --> 00:38:20.215
<c.colorffff80>but he's being sought and pursued
by the relevant authorities.</c>

00:38:20.424 --> 00:38:22.509
<c.colorffff80>Who is he?</c>

00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:27.640
<c.colorffff80>Serge?</c>

00:38:27.765 --> 00:38:28.766
<c.colorffff80>I'm afraid so.</c>

00:38:28.974 --> 00:38:31.226
<c.colorffff80>That little prick.</c>

00:38:31.435 --> 00:38:33.562
<c.colorffff80>No, I don't believe it.
They put him up to it.</c>

00:38:33.771 --> 00:38:35.898
<c.colorffff80>I've been dropped into
a nest of vipers.</c>

00:38:36.106 --> 00:38:37.107
<c.colorffff80>You have an alibi?</c>

00:38:37.316 --> 00:38:39.485
<c.colorffff80>Of course, but she's married
to the Duke of Westphalia.</c>

00:38:39.693 --> 00:38:42.321
<c.colorffff80>I can't allow her name to get
mixed-up in all this monkey business.</c>

00:38:42.529 --> 00:38:44.365
<c.colorffff80>Your life may be at stake.</c>

00:38:44.490 --> 00:38:46.325
<c.colorffff80>I know, but the bitch legged it.</c>

00:38:46.533 --> 00:38:50.287
<c.colorffff80>She's already on board the Queen
<i>Nasstasja</i> halfway to Dutch Tanganyika.</c>

00:38:52.790 --> 00:38:54.041
<c.colorffff80>Don't give up.</c>

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.423
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: The details
of the conspiracy,</i></c>

<c.colorffff80><i>now a matter of public record,</i></c>

00:39:05.094 --> 00:39:08.222
<c.colorffff80>were, <i>at that time, impossible
for us to apprehend.</i></c>

00:39:25.572 --> 00:39:27.116
<c.colorffff80>I'm looking for Serge X,</c>

00:39:27.324 --> 00:39:30.160
<c.colorffff80>a young man in the
service of my employer,</c>

00:39:30.369 --> 00:39:33.872
<c.colorffff80>the family Desgoffe und
Taxis of Schloss Lutz.</c>

00:39:35.499 --> 00:39:37.084
<c.colorffff80>Yes, sir? You're his sister?</c>

00:39:37.876 --> 00:39:39.670
<c.colorffff80>Yes, sir. Seen him lately?</c>

00:39:40.838 --> 00:39:42.965
<c.colorffff80>No, sir. No, sir?</c>

00:39:44.049 --> 00:39:45.050
<c.colorffff80>No, sir.</c>

00:39:48.470 --> 00:39:51.265
<c.colorffff80>I need to find him right
away, for his own safety</c>

00:39:51.473 --> 00:39:53.016
<c.colorffff80>and everybody else's.</c>

00:39:53.225 --> 00:39:55.894
<c.colorffff80>If he shows up...</c>

00:39:56.103 --> 00:39:58.856
<c.colorffff80>Yes, sir? Tell him Jopling says,</c>

00:39:59.064 --> 00:40:01.316
<c.colorffff80>"Come home."</c>

00:40:03.485 --> 00:40:06.071
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: But one
thing was certain,</i></c>

00:40:08.115 --> 00:40:11.702
<c.colorffff80><i>the Desgoffe und Taxis were
a very powerful family,</i></c>

00:40:15.831 --> 00:40:18.041
<c.colorffff80><i>and time was not on our side.</i></c>

00:40:26.049 --> 00:40:28.844
<c.colorffff80>A letter from Monsieur Gustave.
Zero.</c>

00:40:29.762 --> 00:40:31.764
<c.colorffff80>You want me to? Read it.</c>

00:40:37.603 --> 00:40:39.563
<c.colorffff80>"My dear and trusted
colleagues..."</c>

00:40:39.772 --> 00:40:41.815
<c.colorffff80>I miss you deeply as I
write from the confines</c>

00:40:42.024 --> 00:40:45.027
<c.colorffff80>of my regrettable and
preposterous incarceration.</c>

00:40:45.235 --> 00:40:47.321
<c.colorffff80>Until I walk amongst you
again as a free man,</c>

00:40:47.529 --> 00:40:49.907
<c.colorffff80>the Grand Budapest
remains in your hands,</c>

00:40:50.115 --> 00:40:52.284
<c.colorffff80>as does its impeccable
reputation.</c>

00:40:52.493 --> 00:40:54.495
<c.colorffff80>Keep it spotless and glorify it.</c>

00:40:54.703 --> 00:40:57.039
<c.colorffff80>Take extra special care of
every little-bitty bit of it</c>

00:40:57.247 --> 00:40:59.333
<c.colorffff80>as if I were watching
over you like a hawk</c>

00:40:59.541 --> 00:41:03.003
<c.colorffff80>with a horse whip in its
talons, because I am.</c>

00:41:03.212 --> 00:41:06.256
<c.colorffff80>Should I discover a lapse of
any variety during my absence,</c>

00:41:06.465 --> 00:41:10.093
<c.colorffff80>I promise, swift and merciless
justice will descend upon you.</c>

00:41:10.302 --> 00:41:14.264
<c.colorffff80>A great and noble house has been
placed under your protection.</c>

00:41:14.473 --> 00:41:17.100
<c.colorffff80>Tell Zero if you see
any funny business.</c>

00:41:17.309 --> 00:41:19.436
<c.colorffff80>"Your devoted Monsieur Gustave."</c>

00:41:19.645 --> 00:41:21.897
<c.colorffff80>Then there's a poem, but we
might want to start on the soup</c>

00:41:22.105 --> 00:41:23.482
<c.colorffff80>since it's 46 stanzas.</c>

00:41:24.691 --> 00:41:28.445
<c.colorffff80>"A moist, black ash dampens the
filth of a dung-dark rat's nest</c>

00:41:28.654 --> 00:41:30.739
<c.colorffff80>"and mingles with the
thick scent of wood rot</c>

00:41:30.948 --> 00:41:32.741
<c.colorffff80>"while the lark song
of a guttersnipe..."</c>

00:41:32.950 --> 00:41:35.202
<c.colorffff80>JOPLING: I never
trusted that butler.</c>

00:41:35.410 --> 00:41:37.204
<c.colorffff80>He's too honest.</c>

00:41:37.329 --> 00:41:39.081
<c.colorffff80>DMITRI ON PHONE: Too honest, you <i>say?
</i> JOPLING: Mmm-hmm.</c>

00:41:39.289 --> 00:41:41.416
<c.colorffff80><i>Right, well, be that as it may,</i></c>

00:41:41.583 --> 00:41:43.585
<c.colorffff80><i>find him quick and
make it snappy.</i></c>

00:41:59.893 --> 00:42:02.479
<c.colorffff80>May I offer any of you
inmates a plate of mush?</c>

00:42:04.982 --> 00:42:06.400
<c.colorffff80>No? Anyone?</c>

00:42:06.608 --> 00:42:08.861
<c.colorffff80>You with the very large
scar on your face?</c>

00:42:18.245 --> 00:42:21.123
<c.colorffff80>Try it. It's actually quite warm
and nourishing this morning.</c>

00:42:21.331 --> 00:42:22.374
<c.colorffff80>It needs a dash of salt.</c>

00:42:31.258 --> 00:42:32.801
<c.colorffff80>Good day.</c>

00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:39.641
<c.colorffff80>Mush, gents? Any takers?</c>

00:42:43.770 --> 00:42:45.314
<c.colorffff80>Suit yourselves.</c>

00:42:50.861 --> 00:42:52.529
<c.colorffff80>Rise and shine. Chop, chop.</c>

00:42:54.114 --> 00:42:55.324
<c.colorffff80>Good morning, Pinky.</c>

00:43:01.121 --> 00:43:02.414
<c.colorffff80>Mendl's again?</c>

00:43:02.497 --> 00:43:03.707
<c.colorffff80>Precisely.</c>

00:43:03.916 --> 00:43:05.918
<c.colorffff80>Who's got the throat slitter?</c>

00:43:11.506 --> 00:43:12.925
<c.colorffff80>Out of this world.</c>

00:43:13.050 --> 00:43:14.426
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: Mendl's is the best.</c>

00:43:14.635 --> 00:43:16.762
<c.colorffff80>Well, back to work.
Monsieur Gustave?</c>

00:43:20.349 --> 00:43:21.767
<c.colorffff80>Yes?</c>

00:43:25.562 --> 00:43:27.856
<c.colorffff80>PINKY: Me and the
boys talked it over.</c>

00:43:28.065 --> 00:43:30.525
<c.colorffff80>We think you're a
really straight fellow.</c>

00:43:30.734 --> 00:43:32.903
<c.colorffff80>Well, I've never been
accused of that before,</c>

00:43:33.111 --> 00:43:35.072
<c.colorffff80>but I appreciate the sentiment.</c>

00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:36.657
<c.colorffff80>You're one of us now.</c>

00:43:37.950 --> 00:43:39.910
<c.colorffff80>What a lovely thing to say.</c>

00:43:40.118 --> 00:43:41.995
<c.colorffff80>Thank you, dear Pinky.
Thank you, Gunther.</c>

00:43:42.204 --> 00:43:43.622
<c.colorffff80>Thank you, Wolf.</c>

00:43:43.830 --> 00:43:45.832
<c.colorffff80>Anything else?</c>

00:43:47.668 --> 00:43:48.710
<c.colorffff80>Tell him, Ludwig.</c>

00:43:50.671 --> 00:43:53.966
<c.colorffff80>Checkpoint 19 ain't
no two-bit hoosegow.</c>

00:43:54.174 --> 00:43:57.427
<c.colorffff80>You got broad-gauge iron bars
on every door, vent and window.</c>

00:43:57.636 --> 00:44:01.223
<c.colorffff80>You got 72 guards on the floor
and 16 more in the towers.</c>

00:44:01.431 --> 00:44:05.727
<c.colorffff80>You got a 325-foot drop into
a moat full of crocodiles.</c>

00:44:05.936 --> 00:44:07.896
<c.colorffff80>But, like the best of them,
it's got a soft spot,</c>

00:44:08.105 --> 00:44:09.856
<c.colorffff80>which in this case
happens to take the form</c>

00:44:10.065 --> 00:44:12.192
<c.colorffff80>of a storm-drain sewer system</c>

00:44:12.401 --> 00:44:14.695
<c.colorffff80>dating from the time of the
original rock fortification</c>

00:44:14.903 --> 00:44:16.947
<c.colorffff80>way back in the Middle Ages.</c>

00:44:17.155 --> 00:44:20.242
<c.colorffff80>Now, nobody's saying it's a stroll
down a tree-lined promenade</c>

00:44:20.450 --> 00:44:22.202
<c.colorffff80>with a fine lady and
a white poodle,</c>

00:44:22.411 --> 00:44:26.039
<c.colorffff80>but it's got what you'd
call "vulnerability,"</c>

00:44:26.248 --> 00:44:28.917
<c.colorffff80>and that's our bread and butter.</c>

00:44:29.751 --> 00:44:31.920
<c.colorffff80>Take a look.</c>

00:44:33.130 --> 00:44:34.464
<c.colorffff80>Who drew this?</c>

00:44:34.673 --> 00:44:36.758
<c.colorffff80>What do you mean, "Who
drew this?" I did.</c>

00:44:36.967 --> 00:44:39.052
<c.colorffff80>Very good. You've got a
wonderful line, Ludwig.</c>

00:44:39.261 --> 00:44:40.929
<c.colorffff80>This <i>shows</i> great
artistic promise.</c>

00:44:41.138 --> 00:44:44.516
<c.colorffff80>Question, how do you intend to
penetrate this lowest rudiment?</c>

00:44:44.725 --> 00:44:47.269
<c.colorffff80>It's 25 inches of reinforced
granite masonry, is it not?</c>

00:44:47.477 --> 00:44:49.187
<c.colorffff80>Digging with the throat-slitter,</c>

00:44:49.396 --> 00:44:52.024
<c.colorffff80>I expect this would take three to
six months of continual effort,</c>

00:44:52.232 --> 00:44:53.734
<c.colorffff80>during which time
several of our members</c>

00:44:53.942 --> 00:44:55.360
<c.colorffff80>will have been
violently executed.</c>

00:44:55.569 --> 00:44:57.904
<c.colorffff80>You hit the nail on the head, Mr.
Gustave.</c>

00:44:58.113 --> 00:45:00.699
<c.colorffff80>We got fake documents,
second-hand street clothes,</c>

00:45:00.907 --> 00:45:03.285
<c.colorffff80>a rope ladder made of
sticks and bunk-linens,</c>

00:45:03.493 --> 00:45:05.370
<c.colorffff80>but we need digging tools,</c>

00:45:05.579 --> 00:45:08.540
<c.colorffff80>which are proving hard to
come by in this flop-house.</c>

00:45:22.929 --> 00:45:24.473
<c.colorffff80><i>YOUNG</i> WRITER: <i>At this
point in the story,</i></c>

00:45:24.681 --> 00:45:28.268
<c.colorffff80><i>the old man fell silent and
pushed away his saddle of lamb.</i></c>

00:45:28.477 --> 00:45:31.313
<c.colorffff80><i>His eyes went blank
as two stones.</i></c>

00:45:31.521 --> 00:45:33.523
<c.colorffff80><i>I could see he was in distress.</i></c>

00:45:33.732 --> 00:45:34.941
<c.colorffff80>Are you ill, Mr. Moustafa?</c>

00:45:35.067 --> 00:45:36.276
<c.colorffff80><i>I finally asked.</i></c>

00:45:36.485 --> 00:45:37.569
<c.colorffff80>Oh, dear me, no.</c>

00:45:37.694 --> 00:45:38.779
<c.colorffff80><i>He said.</i></c>

00:45:38.987 --> 00:45:41.406
<c.colorffff80>It's only that I don't
know how to proceed.</c>

00:45:42.616 --> 00:45:44.785
<c.colorffff80><i>He was crying.</i></c>

00:45:44.993 --> 00:45:46.495
<c.colorffff80>You see, I never
speak of Agatha,</c>

00:45:46.703 --> 00:45:50.290
<c.colorffff80>because even at the
thought of her name</c>

00:45:50.499 --> 00:45:53.251
<c.colorffff80>I'm unable to control
my emotions.</c>

00:45:56.338 --> 00:45:58.590
<c.colorffff80>Well, I suppose there's
no way around it.</c>

00:45:59.883 --> 00:46:02.219
<c.colorffff80>You see, she saved us.</c>

00:46:02.511 --> 00:46:04.346
<c.colorffff80><i>On our third formal rendezvous,</i></c>

00:46:04.554 --> 00:46:07.474
<c.colorffff80><i>I had asked for her hand in
marriage and she had agreed.</i></c>

00:46:07.557 --> 00:46:09.559
<c.colorffff80>Will you marry me? Yes.</c>

00:46:11.353 --> 00:46:14.231
<c.colorffff80><i>We did not have 50 Klubecks
between the two of us.</i></c>

00:46:14.439 --> 00:46:17.692
<c.colorffff80><i>No one knew, of course, but,
then, who would have cared?</i></c>

00:46:17.901 --> 00:46:20.654
<c.colorffff80><i>We were each completely
on our own in the world,</i></c>

00:46:21.780 --> 00:46:23.782
<c.colorffff80><i>and we were deeply in love.</i></c>

00:46:32.582 --> 00:46:34.417
<c.colorffff80>Here. Thank you.</c>

00:46:34.626 --> 00:46:36.461
<c.colorffff80>It's a book. I see.</c>

00:46:36.670 --> 00:46:38.171
<c.colorffff80><i>Romantic Poetry, Volume One.</i></c>

00:46:38.380 --> 00:46:39.506
<c.colorffff80>Monsieur Gustave recommended it.</c>

00:46:39.631 --> 00:46:40.715
<c.colorffff80>I have a copy of my own as well.</c>

00:46:40.924 --> 00:46:42.884
<c.colorffff80>I ruined the
surprise, I suppose.</c>

00:46:43.009 --> 00:46:44.970
<c.colorffff80>I'll go ahead and
open it, anyway.</c>

00:46:48.431 --> 00:46:50.433
<c.colorffff80>Read the inscription.</c>

00:47:08.952 --> 00:47:10.036
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: Monsieur
Gustave insisted</i></c>

00:47:10.245 --> 00:47:12.497

cross-examination...</i></c>

00:47:12.706 --> 00:47:14.374

She's so charming.</c>

00:47:15.584 --> 00:47:18.003
<c.colorffff80><i>...during which he presented
Agatha with a porcelain pendant</i></c>

00:47:18.211 --> 00:47:21.131

tissue-wrapped white tulips</i></c>

00:47:21.339 --> 00:47:23.466

a child's coffin.</i></c>

00:47:23.675 --> 00:47:24.968
<c.colorffff80>It's not right.</c>

00:47:25.093 --> 00:47:26.386
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon?</c>

00:47:26.595 --> 00:47:27.762
<c.colorffff80>Why is he sulking?</c>

00:47:27.971 --> 00:47:29.848
<c.colorffff80>She's my girlfriend. You
can't just buy her things.</c>

00:47:30.056 --> 00:47:33.393
<c.colorffff80>I'm only interviewing this vision
of loveliness on your behalf.</c>

00:47:33.602 --> 00:47:36.188
<c.colorffff80>Never be jealous in this life,
Zero, not even for an instant.</c>

00:47:36.396 --> 00:47:37.939
<c.colorffff80>Is he flirting with you?</c>

00:47:39.232 --> 00:47:40.734
<c.colorffff80>Yes.</c>

00:47:40.859 --> 00:47:42.360
<c.colorffff80>I approve of this union.</c>

00:47:42.569 --> 00:47:45.071
<c.colorffff80>Agatha, my beauty,
return to your beloved.</c>

00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:46.573
<c.colorffff80>MR. MOUSTAFA: Soon we learned...</c>

00:47:46.781 --> 00:47:48.491
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: Blessings

<c.colorffff80>Something's missing.</c>

00:48:26.696 --> 00:48:31.159
<c.colorffff80>A crucial document, either misplaced
or, conceivably, destroyed.</c>

00:48:31.368 --> 00:48:33.870
<c.colorffff80>I don't know what it contains, I
don't know what it represents,</c>

<c.colorffff80>I don't know what it is,</c>

00:48:35.664 --> 00:48:38.750
<c.colorffff80>but there are traces and
shadows of it everywhere.</c>

00:48:38.959 --> 00:48:40.669
<c.colorffff80>Now, I don't want to alarm you,</c>

00:48:40.877 --> 00:48:42.587
<c.colorffff80>and I don't expect to see
any significant change</c>

00:48:42.796 --> 00:48:44.214
<c.colorffff80>in the magistrate's
ultimate decision</c>

00:48:44.339 --> 00:48:45.799
<c.colorffff80>vis-à-vis your own inheritance,</c>

00:48:46.007 --> 00:48:49.803
<c.colorffff80>but, especially given the
circumstances of the death,</c>

00:48:50.011 --> 00:48:52.180
<c.colorffff80>as well as the disappearance
of the key witness</c>

00:48:52.347 --> 00:48:54.474
<c.colorffff80>in the murder case, Serge X,</c>

00:48:54.683 --> 00:48:56.351
<c.colorffff80>I suggest that we immediately
bring this matter</c>

00:48:56.559 --> 00:48:58.770
<c.colorffff80>to the attention of the
municipal inspector</c>

00:48:58.979 --> 00:49:00.730
<c.colorffff80>so that there can be
absolutely no question</c>

00:49:00.939 --> 00:49:03.316
<c.colorffff80>of impropriety at
any future date.</c>

00:49:03.525 --> 00:49:05.277
<c.colorffff80>Agreed? Not agreed.</c>

00:49:07.112 --> 00:49:09.197
<c.colorffff80>Not agreed? Not agreed.</c>

00:49:11.908 --> 00:49:13.493
<c.colorffff80>Can I ask you a
question, Vilmos?</c>

00:49:13.618 --> 00:49:15.161
<c.colorffff80>Yes, Dmitri?</c>

00:49:15.370 --> 00:49:16.663
<c.colorffff80>Who are you working for?</c>

00:49:16.788 --> 00:49:18.039
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon?</c>

00:49:18.248 --> 00:49:20.041
<c.colorffff80>Who are you working for?</c>

00:49:20.208 --> 00:49:22.002
<c.colorffff80>I thought you're supposed
to be our lawyer.</c>

00:49:22.210 --> 00:49:23.670
<c.colorffff80>Well, in point of fact,</c>

00:49:23.753 --> 00:49:25.588
<c.colorffff80>I'm the executor of the estate.</c>

00:49:25.797 --> 00:49:29.926
<c.colorffff80>In this particular situation,
I represent the deceased.</c>

00:49:30.135 --> 00:49:31.136
<c.colorffff80>Oh, yeah?</c>

00:49:31.261 --> 00:49:34.014
<c.colorffff80>Yeah. A provision for my
fees was included in the...</c>

00:49:34.222 --> 00:49:39.019
<c.colorffff80>Just wrap it up and don't make waves.
Agreed?</c>

00:49:41.021 --> 00:49:42.981
<c.colorffff80>I'm an attorney.
I'm obligated to</c>

00:49:43.106 --> 00:49:45.066
<c.colorffff80>proceed according
to the rule of law.</c>

00:49:46.443 --> 00:49:47.569
<c.colorffff80>Not agreed.</c>

00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.202
<c.colorffff80>This stinks, sisters.</c>

00:49:59.664 --> 00:50:01.708
<c.colorffff80>Did he just throw my
cat out the window?</c>

00:50:03.001 --> 00:50:04.794
<c.colorffff80>I don't think so.</c>

00:50:04.878 --> 00:50:05.879
<c.colorffff80>No. Did he? Jopling?</c>

00:50:18.266 --> 00:50:19.768
<c.colorffff80>Shh-shh.</c>

00:50:32.864 --> 00:50:34.866
<c.colorffff80>LUDWIG: Okay.</c>

00:50:45.418 --> 00:50:48.171
<c.colorffff80>There's something I
haven't told you, Agatha.</c>

00:50:48.380 --> 00:50:49.589
<c.colorffff80>Okay. We stole a painting.</c>

00:50:49.798 --> 00:50:52.342
<c.colorffff80>It's very valuable, maybe five
million Klubecks, in fact.</c>

00:50:52.550 --> 00:50:54.427
<c.colorffff80>I don't know if anyone's even
noticed it's missing yet,</c>

00:50:54.636 --> 00:50:56.221
<c.colorffff80>but if something
should happen to me...</c>

00:50:56.429 --> 00:50:57.931
<c.colorffff80>You steal art?</c>

00:50:59.015 --> 00:51:02.060
<c.colorffff80>One picture. Anyway, we need to
make a plan for your survival.</c>

00:51:02.268 --> 00:51:05.063
<c.colorffff80>Hide this. It's in code and you might
need a magnifying glass to read it,</c>

00:51:05.271 --> 00:51:07.524
<c.colorffff80>but it tells you exactly where
and how to find Boy <i>with</i> Apple.</c>

00:51:07.732 --> 00:51:09.776
<c.colorffff80>Don't take less than half the
retail asking price. Also...</c>

00:51:09.984 --> 00:51:11.277
<c.colorffff80>Zero, I'm a baker.</c>

00:51:11.403 --> 00:51:12.695
<c.colorffff80>You're a pastry chef.</c>

00:51:12.904 --> 00:51:14.781
<c.colorffff80>I'm not a fence, if
that's the term.</c>

00:51:14.989 --> 00:51:16.866
<c.colorffff80>I don't trade in
stolen property.</c>

00:51:18.118 --> 00:51:19.953
<c.colorffff80>I said it wrong. She
willed it to him.</c>

00:51:29.337 --> 00:51:31.339
<c.colorffff80>Go to sleep.</c>

00:51:32.006 --> 00:51:33.842
<c.colorffff80><i>Yes, Herr Mendl.</i></c>

00:51:36.594 --> 00:51:38.346
<c.colorffff80>Hide this. No.</c>

00:51:38.555 --> 00:51:40.557
<c.colorffff80>Okay, but take it anyway.</c>

00:55:06.554 --> 00:55:09.766
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: The next morning,
Herr Becker received</i> a <i>peculiar,</i></c>

00:55:09.974 --> 00:55:12.685
<c.colorffff80><i>last-minute notice from the
office of Deputy Kovacs,</i></c>

00:55:12.894 --> 00:55:17.357
<c.colorffff80><i>postponing their scheduled
meeting, in perpetuity.</i></c>

00:55:47.470 --> 00:55:49.472
<c.colorffff80>LUDWIG: Let's blow.</c>

00:56:59.250 --> 00:57:00.501
<c.colorffff80>How did you get out there?</c>

00:57:00.626 --> 00:57:01.878
<c.colorffff80>Shut the fuck up.</c>

00:57:02.086 --> 00:57:04.714
<c.colorffff80>These guys are trying to escape.</c>

00:57:04.922 --> 00:57:06.632
<c.colorffff80>What's wrong with you,
you goddamn snitch?</c>

00:57:06.841 --> 00:57:08.843
<c.colorffff80>Guard! Guard!</c>

00:57:16.142 --> 00:57:17.393
<c.colorffff80>It's you. Thank you.</c>

00:57:17.477 --> 00:57:19.604
<c.colorffff80>Thank you, you sweet, kind man.</c>

00:57:49.467 --> 00:57:51.469
<c.colorffff80>LUDWIG: Okay.</c>

00:58:43.521 --> 00:58:44.855
<c.colorffff80>ALL: Whoa!</c>

00:59:05.501 --> 00:59:08.129
<c.colorffff80>I suppose you'd
call that a draw.</c>

00:59:17.263 --> 00:59:19.265
<c.colorffff80>Good evening.</c>

00:59:27.523 --> 00:59:31.152
<c.colorffff80>Let me introduce you. Pinky, Wolf,
Ludwig, this is the divine Zero.</c>

00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.195
<c.colorffff80>Gunther was slain
in the catacombs.</c>

00:59:33.446 --> 00:59:36.198
<c.colorffff80>Well, boys, who knows when we'll
all meet again, but if one clay...</c>

00:59:36.449 --> 00:59:37.491
<c.colorffff80>Hold it.</c>

00:59:40.494 --> 00:59:42.872
<c.colorffff80>No time to gab.</c>

00:59:43.122 --> 00:59:45.499
<c.colorffff80>Take care of yourself, Mr.
Gustave.</c>

00:59:45.666 --> 00:59:47.668
<c.colorffff80>Good luck, kid.</c>

00:59:51.297 --> 00:59:52.798
<c.colorffff80>Which way to the safe house?</c>

00:59:52.923 --> 00:59:54.383
<c.colorffff80>I couldn't find one.</c>

00:59:54.508 --> 00:59:57.553
<c.colorffff80>No safe house? Really? We're
completely on our own out here?</c>

00:59:57.720 --> 01:00:00.890
<c.colorffff80>I'm afraid so. I
asked around, but...</c>

01:00:01.140 --> 01:00:03.893
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: I understand. Too risky.
We'll just have to wing it, I suppose.</c>

01:00:04.143 --> 01:00:06.520
<c.colorffff80>Let's put on our disguises.</c>

01:00:06.687 --> 01:00:07.730
<c.colorffff80>We're wearing them.</c>

01:00:07.855 --> 01:00:08.856
<c.colorffff80>No, we're not.</c>

01:00:09.065 --> 01:00:11.525
<c.colorffff80>We said false whiskers and
fake noses and so on.</c>

01:00:11.692 --> 01:00:12.860
<c.colorffff80>You didn't bring any?</c>

01:00:13.027 --> 01:00:14.195
<c.colorffff80>I thought you were growing one.</c>

01:00:14.403 --> 01:00:17.323
<c.colorffff80>And it wouldn't look
realistic, would it?</c>

01:00:17.531 --> 01:00:19.700
<c.colorffff80>No, when done properly,
they're perfectly convincing.</c>

01:00:19.909 --> 01:00:21.869
<c.colorffff80>But I take your point. So be it.</c>

01:00:22.036 --> 01:00:24.497
<c.colorffff80>Give me a few squirts of L'air
de Panache, please, will you?</c>

01:00:26.207 --> 01:00:27.833
<c.colorffff80>Can I not get a squirt, even?</c>

01:00:27.958 --> 01:00:29.543
<c.colorffff80>I forgot the L'air de Panache.</c>

01:00:29.752 --> 01:00:32.338
<c.colorffff80>Honestly, you forgot
the L'air de Panache?</c>

01:00:32.546 --> 01:00:35.508
<c.colorffff80>I don't believe it.
How could you?</c>

01:00:35.716 --> 01:00:38.678
<c.colorffff80>I've been in jail, Zero! Do you
understand how humiliating this is?</c>

01:00:38.886 --> 01:00:40.888
<c.colorffff80>I smell.</c>

01:00:42.390 --> 01:00:44.767
<c.colorffff80>That's just marvelous, isn't it?</c>

01:00:45.017 --> 01:00:47.228
<c.colorffff80>I suppose this is to
be expected back in...</c>

01:00:47.311 --> 01:00:48.729
<c.colorffff80>Where do you come from again?</c>

01:00:48.938 --> 01:00:50.439
<c.colorffff80>Aq Salim al-Jabat. Precisely.</c>

01:00:50.690 --> 01:00:53.234
<c.colorffff80>I suppose this is to be expected
back in Aq Salim al-Jabat</c>

01:00:53.401 --> 01:00:54.694
<c.colorffff80>where one's prized possessions</c>

01:00:54.902 --> 01:00:56.737
<c.colorffff80>are a stack of filthy carpets
and a starving goat,</c>

01:00:56.946 --> 01:01:00.741
<c.colorffff80>and one sleeps behind a tent flap and
survives on wild dates and scarabs.</c>

01:01:00.950 --> 01:01:03.452
<c.colorffff80>But it's not how I trained you.</c>

01:01:03.703 --> 01:01:05.329
<c.colorffff80>What on God's earth
possessed you to leave</c>

01:01:05.413 --> 01:01:06.747
<c.colorffff80>the homeland where
you obviously belong</c>

01:01:06.914 --> 01:01:08.290
<c.colorffff80>and travel unspeakable distances</c>

01:01:08.416 --> 01:01:11.961
<c.colorffff80>to become a penniless immigrant in a
refined, highly-cultivated society</c>

01:01:12.211 --> 01:01:15.214
<c.colorffff80>that, quite frankly, could've
gotten along very well without you?</c>

01:01:16.132 --> 01:01:17.133
<c.colorffff80>The war.</c>

01:01:18.259 --> 01:01:19.593
<c.colorffff80>Say again?</c>

01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.804
<c.colorffff80>Well, you see, my
father was murdered</c>

01:01:22.054 --> 01:01:24.640
<c.colorffff80>and the rest of my family were
executed by firing squad.</c>

01:01:24.890 --> 01:01:26.308
<c.colorffff80>Our village was
burned to the ground</c>

01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:29.770
<c.colorffff80>and those who managed to
survive were forced to flee.</c>

01:01:29.937 --> 01:01:31.772
<c.colorffff80>I left because of the war.</c>

01:01:32.732 --> 01:01:36.444
<c.colorffff80>I see. So you're, actually, really
more of a refugee, in that sense?</c>

01:01:37.611 --> 01:01:38.612
<c.colorffff80>Truly.</c>

01:01:38.779 --> 01:01:42.491
<c.colorffff80>Well, I suppose I'd better take
back everything I just said.</c>

01:01:43.743 --> 01:01:46.829
<c.colorffff80>What a bloody idiot I am.
Pathetic fool.</c>

01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:49.165
<c.colorffff80>Goddamn, selfish bastard.</c>

01:01:49.415 --> 01:01:52.460
<c.colorffff80>This is disgraceful, and it's beneath
the standards of the Grand Budapest.</c>

01:01:54.128 --> 01:01:56.172
<c.colorffff80>I apologize on
behalf of the hotel.</c>

01:01:56.422 --> 01:01:58.758
<c.colorffff80>It's not your fault. You were
just upset I forgot the perfume.</c>

01:01:58.966 --> 01:02:02.970
<c.colorffff80>Don't make excuses for me.
I owe you my life.</c>

01:02:03.179 --> 01:02:07.016
<c.colorffff80>You are my dear friend and protégé
and I'm very proud of you.</c>

01:02:07.266 --> 01:02:09.518
<c.colorffff80>You must know that.</c>

01:02:09.769 --> 01:02:11.771
<c.colorffff80>I'm so sorry, Zero.</c>

01:02:13.314 --> 01:02:15.316
<c.colorffff80>We're brothers.</c>

01:02:23.491 --> 01:02:25.493
<c.colorffff80>How's our darling Agatha?</c>

01:02:27.953 --> 01:02:31.207
<c.colorffff80>"'Twas first light when I saw
her face upon the heath,</c>

01:02:31.457 --> 01:02:34.043
<c.colorffff80>"and hence did I return,
day-by-day, entranced,</c>

01:02:34.293 --> 01:02:37.171
<c.colorffff80>"tho' vinegar did brine
my heart, never..."</c>

01:02:37.338 --> 01:02:40.007
<c.colorffff80>Very good. I'm going to stop you
there because the alarm has sounded,</c>

01:02:40.216 --> 01:02:43.677
<c.colorffff80>but remember where we left off
because I insist you finish later.</c>

01:03:01.695 --> 01:03:04.448
<c.colorffff80>I want roadblocks at
every junction for 50km.</c>

01:03:04.657 --> 01:03:07.368
<c.colorffff80>I want rail blocks at every
train station for 100km.</c>

01:03:07.618 --> 01:03:09.203
<c.colorffff80>I want 50 men and 10 bloodhounds</c>

01:03:09.286 --> 01:03:10.454
<c.colorffff80>ready in five minutes.</c>

01:03:10.663 --> 01:03:12.206
<c.colorffff80>We're going to strip-search</c>

01:03:12.331 --> 01:03:13.874
<c.colorffff80>every pretzel-Ha us,
Waffel-hut, Biergarten</c>

01:03:14.041 --> 01:03:16.126
<c.colorffff80>and especially every grand hotel</c>

01:03:16.210 --> 01:03:17.837
<c.colorffff80>from Äugenzburg to Zilchbrück.</c>

01:03:18.128 --> 01:03:20.047
<c.colorffff80>These men are dangerous,
professional criminals.</c>

01:03:20.297 --> 01:03:22.341
<c.colorffff80>At least three of
them are anyway.</c>

01:03:22.550 --> 01:03:23.551
<c.colorffff80>Who are you?</c>

01:03:25.970 --> 01:03:26.971
<c.colorffff80>What are you doing here?</c>

01:03:27.054 --> 01:03:28.722
<c.colorffff80>Civilian personnel aren't
permitted in the cellblock.</c>

01:03:28.806 --> 01:03:30.307
<c.colorffff80>This is a military
investigation.</c>

01:03:30.432 --> 01:03:31.934
<c.colorffff80>This is Mr. Jopling, sir.</c>

01:03:32.017 --> 01:03:34.228
<c.colorffff80>His employer's mother was
one of the victims...</c>

01:03:34.395 --> 01:03:36.730
<c.colorffff80>Shut up.</c>

01:03:37.731 --> 01:03:40.067
<c.colorffff80>You work for the family
Desgoffe und Taxis?</c>

01:03:40.234 --> 01:03:44.196
<c.colorffff80>Are you aware of the murder of Deputy
Vilmos Kovacs on 23rd October?</c>

01:03:44.405 --> 01:03:46.740
<c.colorffff80>I'm aware of his disappearance.</c>

01:03:46.991 --> 01:03:49.493
<c.colorffff80>His body was found stuffed in a
sarcophagus behind a storage room</c>

01:03:49.702 --> 01:03:51.245
<c.colorffff80>at the Kunstmuseum
late last night.</c>

01:03:51.495 --> 01:03:54.081
<c.colorffff80><i>He was short four fingers.</i></c>

01:03:54.248 --> 01:03:55.541
<c.colorffff80>What do you know about that?</c>

01:03:55.666 --> 01:03:56.917
<c.colorffff80>Nothing.</c>

01:03:58.586 --> 01:04:00.588
<c.colorffff80>Escort Mr. Jopling
off the premises.</c>

01:04:11.098 --> 01:04:13.100
<c.colorffff80>Mendl's.</c>

01:04:17.897 --> 01:04:20.107
<c.colorffff80>Operator, get me the Excelsior
Palace in Baden-Jurgen</c>

01:04:20.274 --> 01:04:21.775
<c.colorffff80>and reverse the charges, please.</c>

01:04:22.026 --> 01:04:23.861
<c.colorffff80>We've no choice. There's
nowhere else to turn.</c>

01:04:24.069 --> 01:04:25.362
<c.colorffff80>I'll hold. Thank you.</c>

01:04:25.571 --> 01:04:28.282
<c.colorffff80>It's our only hope. Otherwise, I shouldn't
even mention its existence to you.</c>

01:04:28.449 --> 01:04:31.243
<c.colorffff80>It goes without saying, never breathe
a word about this to a living soul.</c>

01:04:31.452 --> 01:04:33.203
<c.colorffff80>Do you swear? Of course.
What is it, in fact?</c>

01:04:33.412 --> 01:04:34.538
<c.colorffff80>I can't say.</c>

01:04:37.207 --> 01:04:38.959
<c.colorffff80>How does one come by
front-row aisle seats</c>

01:04:39.209 --> 01:04:42.463
<c.colorffff80>for a first night at the Opera
Toscana with one day's notice?</c>

01:04:42.630 --> 01:04:44.131
<c.colorffff80>How does one arrange
a private viewing</c>

01:04:44.381 --> 01:04:47.134
<c.colorffff80>of the tapestry collection
at the Royal Saxon Gallery?</c>

01:04:47.301 --> 01:04:51.472
<c.colorffff80>How does one secure a corner table
at Chez Dominique on a Thursday?</c>

01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:53.933
<c.colorffff80>Ivan, darling, it's Gustave.
Hello.</c>

01:04:54.141 --> 01:04:56.143
<c.colorffff80>Well, I was until about
five minutes ago.</c>

01:04:56.393 --> 01:04:59.480
<c.colorffff80>We've taken it upon ourselves to clear
out in a hurry if you see what I mean.</c>

01:04:59.647 --> 01:05:02.149
<c.colorffff80>Well, through a sewer, as it happens.
Exactly.</c>

01:05:02.316 --> 01:05:04.985
<c.colorffff80>Listen, Ivan, I'm sorry to out you
off, but we're in a bit of a bind.</c>

01:05:05.152 --> 01:05:06.820
<c.colorffff80>This is an official request.</c>

01:05:06.987 --> 01:05:10.157
<c.colorffff80>I'm formally calling upon
the special services of...</c>

01:05:15.412 --> 01:05:16.830
<c.colorffff80>IVAN: <i>I'll call you
back, Gustave.</i></c>

01:05:17.081 --> 01:05:18.999
<c.colorffff80>Right. Stand by.</c>

01:05:19.249 --> 01:05:22.419
<c.colorffff80>I beg your pardon. Do
you prefer to walk?</c>

01:05:22.628 --> 01:05:24.505
<c.colorffff80>We're right here.
It's very simple.</c>

01:05:24.755 --> 01:05:26.757
<c.colorffff80>Straight down the
corniche, then left.</c>

01:05:26.966 --> 01:05:28.968
<c.colorffff80>Jojo, see the gentleman out.</c>

01:05:31.845 --> 01:05:34.139
<c.colorffff80>Get me Monsieur Georges at
the Château Luxe, please.</c>

01:05:35.933 --> 01:05:38.310
<c.colorffff80><i>Happy birthday to you</i></c>

01:05:39.603 --> 01:05:40.604
<c.colorffff80>Take over.</c>

01:05:40.688 --> 01:05:42.106
<c.colorffff80><i>Happy birthday, dear...</i></c>

01:05:42.272 --> 01:05:43.524
<c.colorffff80>GEORGES: Hello, Ivan?</c>

01:05:45.693 --> 01:05:47.528
<c.colorffff80>Got it.</c>

01:05:47.778 --> 01:05:50.531
<c.colorffff80>Get me Monsieur Dino at the
Palazzo Principessa, please.</c>

01:05:52.282 --> 01:05:54.618
<c.colorffff80>Higher, goddammit, higher!</c>

01:05:56.537 --> 01:05:58.205
<c.colorffff80>Take over.</c>

01:05:58.372 --> 01:05:59.957
<c.colorffff80>DINO: Monsieur Georges. Higher.</c>

01:06:00.165 --> 01:06:02.334
<c.colorffff80>I see. Straightaway.</c>

01:06:03.877 --> 01:06:06.380
<c.colorffff80>Get me Monsieur Robin at
I'Hôtel Côte du Cap, please.</c>

01:06:08.132 --> 01:06:10.009
<c.colorffff80>...and two and three.</c>

01:06:11.301 --> 01:06:14.138
<c.colorffff80>Monsieur Robin. There's a call
from Monsieur Dino for you.</c>

01:06:14.346 --> 01:06:16.348
<c.colorffff80>Take over.</c>

01:06:17.725 --> 01:06:19.059
<c.colorffff80>One, two, three.</c>

01:06:19.184 --> 01:06:20.477
<c.colorffff80><i>ROBIN: Yes, Dino.</i></c>

01:06:20.686 --> 01:06:23.981
<c.colorffff80>Yes, Dino. Okay, Dino.</c>

01:06:25.733 --> 01:06:28.318
<c.colorffff80>Get me Monsieur Martin at
the Ritz Imperial, please.</c>

01:06:30.029 --> 01:06:31.905
<c.colorffff80>Too much salt.</c>

01:06:32.072 --> 01:06:33.615
<c.colorffff80>Not enough pepper-</c>

01:06:35.200 --> 01:06:37.202
<c.colorffff80>Take over.</c>

01:06:39.246 --> 01:06:41.331
<c.colorffff80><i>Robin? Martin. Too much salt.</i></c>

01:06:41.540 --> 01:06:43.542
<c.colorffff80>So I've heard.</c>

01:06:44.877 --> 01:06:47.838
<c.colorffff80>Maybe. Let me make a few calls.</c>

01:06:52.926 --> 01:06:55.429
<c.colorffff80>Serge X, missing. Deputy
Kovacs, also missing.</c>

01:06:55.596 --> 01:06:58.432
<c.colorffff80>Madame D, dead. Boy <i>with
</i> Apple, stolen, by us.</c>

01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.060
<c.colorffff80>Dmitri and Jopling, ruthless,
cold-blooded savages.</c>

01:07:01.268 --> 01:07:04.521
<c.colorffff80>Gustave H, at large. What else?</c>

01:07:04.730 --> 01:07:06.023
<c.colorffff80>Zero, confused.</c>

01:07:06.148 --> 01:07:07.441
<c.colorffff80>Zero, confused, indeed.</c>

01:07:07.608 --> 01:07:09.777
<c.colorffff80>The plot "thickens,"
as they say.</c>

01:07:10.027 --> 01:07:12.613
<c.colorffff80>Why, by the way? Is
it a soup metaphor?</c>

01:07:12.863 --> 01:07:14.865
<c.colorffff80>I don't know.</c>

01:07:19.703 --> 01:07:21.288
<c.colorffff80>Get in.</c>

01:07:23.749 --> 01:07:25.042
<c.colorffff80>IVAN: We found the butler.</c>

01:07:25.250 --> 01:07:28.045
<c.colorffff80>He's hiding out in the remote
foothills near Gabelmeister's Peak.</c>

01:07:28.253 --> 01:07:30.380
<c.colorffff80>Our contact convinced him
to meet you midday tomorrow</c>

01:07:30.589 --> 01:07:31.965
<c.colorffff80>at the observatory
on the summit.</c>

01:07:32.132 --> 01:07:34.468
<c.colorffff80>Tell no one. He'll
explain everything.</c>

01:07:34.718 --> 01:07:36.762
<c.colorffff80>Your train departs in
four and a half minutes.</c>

01:07:36.970 --> 01:07:38.388
<c.colorffff80>Here's your tickets.</c>

01:07:38.597 --> 01:07:39.640
<c.colorffff80>Third class?</c>

01:07:39.807 --> 01:07:40.808
<c.colorffff80>It was overbooked</c>

01:07:41.058 --> 01:07:44.645
<c.colorffff80>but the conductor used to be a
sommelier at the old Versailles.</c>

01:07:44.812 --> 01:07:45.979
<c.colorffff80>He pulled some strings.</c>

01:07:46.271 --> 01:07:48.273
<c.colorffff80>You'll need these
for the dining car.</c>

01:07:51.151 --> 01:07:53.153
<c.colorffff80>One last thing.</c>

01:07:54.822 --> 01:07:56.824
<c.colorffff80>L'air de Panache.</c>

01:07:59.326 --> 01:08:01.495
<c.colorffff80>They only had the half-ounce.</c>

01:08:05.791 --> 01:08:07.793
<c.colorffff80>We should give him something
as a symbolic gesture.</c>

01:08:08.001 --> 01:08:10.254
<c.colorffff80>How much money you got? 42
Klubecks and 3 postage stamps.</c>

01:08:10.462 --> 01:08:12.464
<c.colorffff80>Give me 25. Yes.</c>

01:08:16.176 --> 01:08:17.553
<c.colorffff80>Bless you.</c>

01:08:17.678 --> 01:08:19.096
<c.colorffff80>Please.</c>

01:08:35.487 --> 01:08:36.572
<c.colorffff80>JOPLING: I've got
to hand it to him.</c>

01:08:36.655 --> 01:08:37.656
<c.colorffff80>DMITRI ON PHONE: <i>Jesus</i> Christ.</c>

01:08:37.823 --> 01:08:41.577
<c.colorffff80>JOPLING: I didn't see that coming.
Well, what do you want next?</c>

01:08:41.702 --> 01:08:47.040
<c.colorffff80>DMITRI: <i>Talk to the club-footed sister
again, and, this time, be persuasive.</i></c>

01:08:54.173 --> 01:08:56.967
<c.colorffff80>DMITRI: Goddamn son of a bitch.</c>

01:09:20.532 --> 01:09:22.534
<c.colorffff80>Holy fuck!</c>

01:09:26.872 --> 01:09:29.750
<c.colorffff80>What's the meaning of this shit?</c>

01:09:29.917 --> 01:09:31.543
<c.colorffff80>Boy <i>with Apple?</i> I thought
you'd hidden it.</c>

01:09:31.627 --> 01:09:34.087
<c.colorffff80>Why are you only noticing now? I
assumed it went to the tax appraiser.</c>

01:09:34.338 --> 01:09:36.006
<c.colorffff80>Are you fucking kidding me?</c>

01:09:36.089 --> 01:09:38.091
<c.colorffff80><i>CLOTILDE: Excusez-moi.</i></c>

01:09:38.592 --> 01:09:41.386
<c.colorffff80>I believe it was removed
by Monsieur Gustave.</c>

01:09:49.269 --> 01:09:50.395
<c.colorffff80>I'm not angry with Serge.</c>

01:09:50.604 --> 01:09:53.065
<c.colorffff80>You can't blame someone for their
basic lack of moral fiber.</c>

01:09:53.273 --> 01:09:55.234
<c.colorffff80>He's a frightened, little,
yellow-bellied coward.</c>

01:09:55.442 --> 01:09:57.444
<c.colorffff80>It's not his fault, is it? I don't know.
It depends.</c>

01:09:57.694 --> 01:09:59.238
<c.colorffff80>Well, you can say that
about most anything.</c>

01:09:59.321 --> 01:10:00.739
<c.colorffff80>"It depends." Of
course it depends.</c>

01:10:00.948 --> 01:10:02.449
<c.colorffff80>Of course it depends.
Of course it depends.</c>

01:10:02.699 --> 01:10:04.785
<c.colorffff80>Yes, I suppose you're right.
Of course it depends.</c>

01:10:05.035 --> 01:10:08.455
<c.colorffff80>That doesn't mean I'm not going
to throttle the little swamp rat.</c>

01:10:10.958 --> 01:10:15.254
<c.colorffff80>May I officiate, by the way?
The ceremony?</c>

01:10:15.462 --> 01:10:16.463
<c.colorffff80>With pleasure.</c>

01:10:16.630 --> 01:10:19.258
<c.colorffff80>I must say, I find that
girl utterly delightful.</c>

01:10:19.466 --> 01:10:20.968
<c.colorffff80>Flat as a board,
enormous birthmark</c>

01:10:21.218 --> 01:10:22.970
<c.colorffff80>the shape of Mexico
over half her face,</c>

01:10:23.220 --> 01:10:25.305
<c.colorffff80>sweating for hours on end
in that sweltering kitchen</c>

01:10:25.472 --> 01:10:26.890
<c.colorffff80>while Mendl, genius
though he is,</c>

01:10:27.099 --> 01:10:28.642
<c.colorffff80>looms over her like
a hulking gorilla.</c>

01:10:28.892 --> 01:10:31.061
<c.colorffff80>Yet without question,
without fail,</c>

01:10:31.270 --> 01:10:34.481
<c.colorffff80>always and invariably,
she's exceedingly lovely.</c>

01:10:34.648 --> 01:10:35.983
<c.colorffff80>Why?</c>

01:10:36.233 --> 01:10:38.819
<c.colorffff80>Because of her purity.</c>

01:10:40.904 --> 01:10:43.156
<c.colorffff80>She admires you as well,
Monsieur Gustave.</c>

01:10:43.323 --> 01:10:44.658
<c.colorffff80>Does she?</c>

01:10:44.783 --> 01:10:46.076
<c.colorffff80>Very much.</c>

01:10:46.285 --> 01:10:50.080
<c.colorffff80>That's a good sign, you know.
It means she "gets it."</c>

01:10:50.289 --> 01:10:52.291
<c.colorffff80>That's important.</c>

01:10:54.751 --> 01:10:56.753
<c.colorffff80>Don't flirt with her.</c>

01:11:42.632 --> 01:11:46.053
<c.colorffff80>LIEUTENANT: A radio telegram was delivered
and signed for by the girl at 4:00 AM.</c>

01:11:46.219 --> 01:11:48.889
<c.colorffff80>The envelope was found near the body,
but its contents were missing.</c>

01:11:49.639 --> 01:11:50.974
<c.colorffff80>However, the telegraph
office always keeps</c>

01:11:51.058 --> 01:11:52.809
<c.colorffff80>a carbon of the ticker
tape for 24 hours.</c>

01:11:53.018 --> 01:11:55.228
<c.colorffff80>I copied it down. It
reads as follows,</c>

01:11:56.229 --> 01:11:57.397
<c.colorffff80>"Pack your things stop.</c>

01:11:57.647 --> 01:11:59.733
<c.colorffff80>"Be ready to leave at
moment's notice stop.</c>

01:11:59.900 --> 01:12:02.361
<c.colorffff80>"Hide-out is vicinity of
Gabelmeister's Peak stop.</c>

01:12:02.569 --> 01:12:04.988
<c.colorffff80>"Destroy this message
all my love full stop."</c>

01:12:06.073 --> 01:12:07.866
<c.colorffff80>Where's the basket?</c>

01:12:33.183 --> 01:12:35.185
<c.colorffff80>PUMP ATTENDANT: Where
you headed, mister?</c>

01:12:38.897 --> 01:12:41.233
<c.colorffff80>Skiing? Sledding?
Mountain climbing?</c>

01:12:50.951 --> 01:12:52.911
<c.colorffff80>Three Klubecks.</c>

01:13:03.046 --> 01:13:04.798
<c.colorffff80><i>MR. MOUSTAFA: By express

<c.colorffff80>I know, darling. Let's
put that behind us.</c>

<c.colorffff80>Listen, I hate to put
you on the spot,</c>

01:16:39.137 --> 01:16:40.597

you to clear my name.</c>

There's more.</c>

event of her death by murder.</c>

01:16:52.859 --> 01:16:54.360
<c.colorffff80>A second will? Right.</c>

01:16:54.611 --> 01:16:56.154

Right.</c>

01:16:56.362 --> 01:16:57.781

01:16:57.989 --> 01:16:59.449
<c.colorffff80>Oh, dear. However...</c>

01:16:59.657 --> 01:17:01.159

01:17:01.367 --> 01:17:03.495

the second will?</c>

01:17:03.703 --> 01:17:04.996

01:28:32.141 --> 01:28:34.894

question, by the way,</c>

01:28:41.066 --> 01:28:42.902

01:28:44.737 --> 01:28:47.573
<c.colorffff80>Zero asked me about my humble
beginnings in the hotel trade.</c>

01:28:47.740 --> 01:28:50.075
<c.colorffff80>I was, perhaps, for a time,
considered the best Lobby Boy</c>

01:28:50.284 --> 01:28:52.661
<c.colorffff80>we'd ever had at the
Grand Budapest.</c>

01:28:52.912 --> 01:28:54.330
<c.colorffff80>I think I can say that.</c>

01:28:54.580 --> 01:28:56.415
<c.colorffff80>This one finally surpassed me.</c>

01:28:56.624 --> 01:28:59.585
<c.colorffff80>Although, I must say, he had
an exceptional teacher.</c>

01:28:59.752 --> 01:29:00.920
<c.colorffff80>Truly.</c>

01:29:06.175 --> 01:29:09.136
<c.colorffff80>"Whence came these two
radiant, celestial brothers,</c>

01:29:09.345 --> 01:29:10.638
<c.colorffff80>"united, for an instant,</c>

01:29:10.846 --> 01:29:15.100
<c.colorffff80>"as they crossed the stratosphere
of our starry window?</c>

01:29:15.309 --> 01:29:18.103
<c.colorffff80>"One from the East and
one from the West."</c>

01:29:18.270 --> 01:29:20.022
<c.colorffff80>Very good.</c>

01:29:20.272 --> 01:29:22.274
<c.colorffff80>Don't flirt with her.</c>

01:29:24.610 --> 01:29:26.862
<c.colorffff80>Why are we stopping at
a barley field again?</c>

01:29:35.204 --> 01:29:38.332
<c.colorffff80>I find these black
uniforms very drab.</c>

01:29:42.836 --> 01:29:44.129
<c.colorffff80>Well, hello there, chaps.</c>

01:29:44.213 --> 01:29:45.798

<c.colorffff80>You're the first of the
official death squads</c>

01:29:56.225 --> 01:29:58.477

formally introduced.</c>

01:29:58.644 --> 01:30:00.646
<c.colorffff80>How do you do?</c>

01:30:01.855 --> 01:30:03.899
<c.colorffff80><i>Plus</i> ça change, am I right?</c>

01:30:08.362 --> 01:30:11.740
<c.colorffff80>Uh, that's a migratory visa with
stage three worker status, darling.</c>

01:30:11.991 --> 01:30:12.992
<c.colorffff80>Read this.</c>

01:30:22.334 --> 01:30:23.669
<c.colorffff80>SOLDIER: Come outside.</c>

01:30:23.836 --> 01:30:25.170
<c.colorffff80>GUSTAVE H: Now, stay there.</c>

01:30:27.381 --> 01:30:29.675
<c.colorffff80>I give you my word, if you
lay a finger on this man,</c>

01:30:29.883 --> 01:30:32.052
<c.colorffff80>I'll see you
dishonorably discharged,</c>

01:30:32.261 --> 01:30:35.347
<c.colorffff80>locked up in the stockade
and hanged by sundown.</c>

01:31:03.417 --> 01:31:06.045
<c.colorffff80>What happened in the end?</c>

01:31:06.253 --> 01:31:08.255
<c.colorffff80>In the end they shot him.</c>

01:31:10.049 --> 01:31:12.051

01:32:22.121 --> 01:32:24.206

01:32:24.456 --> 01:32:26.166

01:32:32.506 --> 01:32:33.799
