:20:02
As you wish.
:20:05
His case in the magistracies
is not going well.
:20:08
That is, Frau Beethoven
has bribed witnesses...
:20:11
Sir, I need your help.
:20:14
My young nephew, Karl...
:20:17
he is being corrupted
by this woman's poisonous carryings on.
:20:21
- What Herr Beethoven means...
- Why should I help you, Beethoven?
:20:46
"Metternich is a worse tyrant
than Napoleon."
:20:51
That was recorded last Tuesday
at the Swan Tavern.
:20:58
"Metternich should be forced
to eat my shit."
:21:03
And so on, and so torth.
:21:06
Herr Beethoven,
there are many torces in Austria...
:21:09
that toment revolt.
:21:12
I like a lively discussion
as much as the next man...
:21:15
but I fear that these days
we cannot allow quite so much...
:21:19
How can I put it?
:21:21
Enthusiasm.
:21:23
Perhaps it would be better
if our great artists...
:21:27
were a little more circumspect.
:21:29
Herr Beethoven proposes
that he write a grand oratorio...
:21:31
praising Austria
and your magnificent diplomacy...
:21:35
at the Congress of Vienna...
:21:37
that has secured the peace
for all ot Europe.
:21:44
This court...
:21:46
has seen tit to ordain...
:21:50
that Johanna van Beethoven...
:21:54
shall be excluded trom...
:21:59
This court is corrupt!
