1:04:09
- Tortshiner?
- Broder? Come in, please.
1:04:19
I have every reason
to be your enemy, Broder.
1:04:22
But I tell you right off
I'm here for your sake.
1:04:25
- Have some cheesecake.
- No, thank you.
1:04:27
You can afford it!
I have to watch my weight.
1:04:30
So I take the, uh...
I take the compote.
1:04:33
- Huh? Some tea?
- Yeah. I-I take tea.
1:04:37
- Two teas, please?
- Okay.
1:04:39
Masha tells me that you
are something of a-a writer.
1:04:42
But I am a scientist, and
I believe, before one acts...
1:04:46
one must have all the facts.
1:04:48
Oh, yeah? So what are
the facts, Mr. Tortshiner?
1:04:52
The facts are that your Masha
bought her divorce from me...
1:04:54
at a price
no honest woman would pay...
1:04:56
even if her life depended on it.
1:04:58
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
1:05:00
This is on me.
1:05:02
Normally, I would have
no reason to take an interest in you.
1:05:08
- But I happened to
strike up an acquaintance...
1:05:11
With your employer.
1:05:13
Thank you.
Rabbi Lembeck.
1:05:16
He told me you suffered
a great deal during the war.
1:05:19
Huh?
1:05:21
What price did she pay,
Mr. Tortshiner?
1:05:28
Drink your tea.
1:05:30
It's getting cold.
1:05:32
Did you know your Masha was
the lover of a Red Army deserter?
1:05:36
Who smuggled gold
from Bessarabia?
1:05:39
I won't deny it.
1:05:42
I am still in love with her.
She drives men crazy.
1:05:46
Anyway, things went bad
for us, and we had been apart
for almost two years.
1:05:51
When she calls and says
she wants to see me.
1:05:54
So she comes over
all dressed up.
1:05:56
Fit to kill, as they say.
1:05:58
I had already heard
all about you.
