:32:00
Well...
:32:02
...tell us about it.
Tell us the story.
:32:08
Well, it's quite amusing, Majesty.
:32:12
It's set...
The whole thing is set in a...
:32:21
Yes? Where?
:32:24
In a harem, Majesty. In a seraglio.
:32:28
- You mean in Turkey?
- Yes, exactly.
:32:32
Then why especially
does it have to be in German?
:32:37
It doesn't, especially. It could be
in Turkish if you really want.
:32:43
No, my dear fellow, the language
is not finally the point.
:32:47
Do you really think that subject
is appropriate for a national theater?
:32:53
Why not? It's charming.
:32:56
I mean, I won't actually show
concubines exposing their...
:33:03
It's not indecent.
It's highly moral, Majesty.
:33:06
It's full of proper German virtues.
:33:09
Excuse me, Majesty, but what
do you think these could be?
:33:13
Being a foreigner, I'd love to learn.
:33:17
Well, tell him, Mozart.
:33:20
Name us a German virtue.
:33:23
- Love, sire.
- Oh, love!
:33:26
Of course, in Italy
we know nothing about love.
:33:33
No, I don't think you do.
:33:35
Watching Italian opera,
all those male sopranos screeching...
:33:40
...stupid, fat couples rolling their eyes
about. That's not love. It's rubbish!
:33:47
Majesty, you choose the language.
:33:50
I'll set it to the finest music
ever offered a monarch.
:33:55
Well, there it is.
Let it be German.
