the original is in black and white but unfortunately I could't find that version in b&w...
now, the introduction is in german but the actual play is in
english. here is a
translation of the introduction for those of u that don't understand german :
'Dear
audience, ladies and gentlemen.
We are at the country house of Miss Sophie. For reasons of discretion we conceal the name of this old family.
Miss Sophie invited her 4 best friends to a birthday dinner and I want to
announce the seating order (points to the chairs when saying the names): Miss
Sophie will sit there, here Sir Toby, here Admiral von Schneider, there Mr. Pomoroy,
there Mr. Winterbottom.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a little problem. Miss Sophie isn't the
youngest anymore, it's her 90th birthday today and she's outlived
her 4 best friends by now. She buried the last one 25 years ago.
However, Miss Sophie doesn't want to do without this birthday dinner and
since these gentlemen can't be here for obvious reasons, butler James will act
in their places. That went well every year and it will go well this year,
because the order of this dinner has been the same for years.
James will ask:'Same procedure as last year?' over and over again and Miss
Sophie will answer:'Same procedure as every year.' Whereas there is a specific accentuation
on 'every year'.
(now a part for people that don't speak English, so not exactly necessary for
u )
I wish you a lot of fun, ladies and gentlemen, dear audience, and here is
James…' … and the story begins…
Whoa, that took me some time.
I'm sure there are some of u that won't think it's funny, but I'm laughing my ass of every time I watch it!!!!
hi there!! my name's Hannah and I'm a girl from Germany that loves the east-asian part of this world... and its men. I live near Trier, Germany's oldest city. it's pretty if you're a tourist, but I want to live somewhere else as soon as I have the opportunity and the money - preferably somewhere in my favourite part of this world... who would have guessed.
I'm not such a big writer, that's why I haven't written anything sofar even though I've been a member for quite some time now. and I'm not here that often, so if you write me, please don't be too mad at me if I don't answer immediately.
*think*, *think*, *think*, *think*, *think*, ...
okay, I can't think of much else to write at the moment, so I'll stop here for now.
