How can I tell her?
This earth-moving news
What can I say?
How will she feel?
Officer, don't you see?
Any word of this - any word -
Why, it could ruin Mr. Preysing's life!
Just because he defended himself against a hotel thief!
Thief?
The deceased was a baron
How can I tell her
What fate says she must lose?
This truth so cruel
Must I reveal?
He was friendly to me as no other man was
I can't get him out of my mind!
And then a man like Preysing kills him
He was a complete swine, Otto
How could you agree to go away with a man like that?
I wanted to get out
Please
May I wash my hands?
You see, Preysing was going to give me a thousand Marks
That's enough for me to start a new life
I never realized how important money was
Until I saw what it could buy
Do you mean me, by any chance?
Oh good Lord, no, Miss Flaemchenn, I'm s-
You will come to that, when you've been a year without a job
And your clothes are out of date
And you can't bear where you live anymore
It's just that, if - if you could go away with him, hating him so much, then-
You're right, Mr. Kringelein, I've just got to find something else
I have money
Is it wiser she not know?
How can I tell her this tale so heavy with heartbreak?
Her newfound lover
So soon is gone
He was so young
So handsome
ย
How can I tell her?
I can't
