I was with him...
:38:08
Kinski and I complemented each
other in a strange way.

:38:11
I think, he needed me just as
much as I needed him.

:38:15
Only in public, he could never admit
it. It bothered him very much.

:38:20
in his autobiography, which is
highly fictitious, he describes me...

:38:26
...our relationship.
I shall read some of it.

:38:30
He speaks of Herzog's "derangement
insolence, imputence, brutality...

:38:35
...dimwittedness, megalomania, lack
of talent" and it goes on like that.

:38:40
He continous: "Any elaboration
would be a waste of time."

:38:43
Nevertheless, page after page,
he comes back to me...

:38:47
...almost like an
obsessive compulsion.

:38:51
in some passages of this book,
I kind of had a hand in them.

:38:58
I helped him to invent
particularly vile expletives.

:39:04
He lived near here, a little higher
up, and we often walked along here.

:39:09
Sometimes we sat on a wooden
bench, looking over the landscape...

:39:14
...or we sat by this tree
musing, and he said:

:39:18
"Werner, nobody will read this book
if I don't write bad stuff about you.

:39:22
If I wrote that we get along well
together, nobody would buy it.

:39:27
The scum only wants to hear
about the dirt, all the time."

:39:30
I came with a dictionary and we tried
to find even fouler expressions.

:39:37
He did use some of them and
we often laughed about it.

:39:41
Yet, a lot of these outbreaks of
hatred were certainly authentic.

:39:47
And this applies to both of us.
:39:49
Nevertheless, we
worked together again.
