''They were the perfect coupIe.''
1:07:12
What a glorious summer!
1:07:15
l should never have thought
a year ago that l could be so happy.
1:07:20
Just get well again!
1:07:22
Happiness will come.
Not past happiness, but a new one.
1:07:27
There are many types of happiness.
1:07:29
You'll see, we'll find something for you.
1:07:33
The summer passed...
1:07:34
and the nights with
shooting stars were over.
1:07:37
On these nights,
Effi had sat Iong at her window...
1:07:41
never tired of watching.
1:07:43
''I never was a very good Christian,
but perhaps we do come from up there...
1:07:48
''and when it's aII over here,
we'II return to our heavenIy home...
1:07:52
''to the stars up there, or beyond.
1:07:54
''I don't know, and I don't want to know.
1:07:57
''I simpIy feeI a Ionging....''
1:08:00
You wanted to tell me something.
1:08:03
Yes, because you spoke
of my being still very young.
1:08:08
Of course l'm young.
But that makes no difference.
1:08:13
ln happier days, lnnstetten
would read to me in the evening.
1:08:17
He had some fine books...
1:08:20
and in one of them there was the story...
1:08:23
of a man being called away
from a festive table.
1:08:28
On the following day, the man asked...
1:08:30
what had happened after he'd left.
1:08:34
He received the reply:
1:08:37
''Oh, all sorts of things...
1:08:39
''but you didn't really miss anything.''
1:08:44
You see, Mama,
those words stuck in my mind.
1:08:49
lt doesn't matter if one's called away
from the table earlier than others.
1:08:58
And since l mentioned
old times and lnnstetten...
