1
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,720
It is an extremely
common mistake,

2
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,800
people think the writer's
imagination is always at work,

3
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,920
that he's constantly
inventing an endless supply

4
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,800
of incidents
and episodes,

5
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,960
that he simply dreams up
his stories out of thin air.

6
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840
In point of fact,
the opposite is true.

7
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Once the public
knows you're a writer,

8
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,880
they bring the characters
and events to you

9
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
and as long as you maintain
your ability to look

10
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320
and to carefully listen,

11
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,120
these stories
will continue to...

12
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,920
Stop it. Stop it! Don't! Don't do it!

13
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Uh, will continue to seek
you out over your lifetime.

14
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,120
To him who has often
told the tales of others,

15
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,960
many tales
will be told.

16
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,920
Sorry.
It's all right.

17
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,160
The incidents that follow
were described to me

18
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,400
exactly as I present
them here

19
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
and in a wholly
unexpected way.

20
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,760
A number of years ago,

21
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,840
while suffering from a mild
case of "Scribe's Fever,"

22
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,840
a form of neurasthenia
common among

23
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,760
the intelligentsia
of that time,

24
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,880
I decided to spend
the month of August

25
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,000
in the spa town of Nebelsbad
below the Alpine Sudetenwaltz,

26
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,520
and had taken up rooms
in the Grand Budapest,

27
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,600
a picturesque, elaborate, and once
widely celebrated establishment.

28
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
I expect some of
you will know it.

29
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,320
YOUNG WRITER: It was off season and, by
that time, decidedly out of fashion,

30
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,480
and it had already
begun its descent

31
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680
into shabbiness and
eventual demolition.

32
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,600
What few guests we were

33
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160
had quickly come to recognize
one another by sight

34
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,400
as the only living souls residing
in the vast establishment,

35
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640
although I do not believe any acquaintance
among our number had proceeded

36
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
beyond the polite nods
we exchanged as we passed

37
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,840
in the Palm Court,

38
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,880
in the Arabian baths,

39
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,240
and on board
the Colonnade Funicular.

40
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320
We were a very reserved
group, it seemed,

41
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,000
and, without exception,
solitary.

42
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120
Perhaps as a result of
this general silence,

43
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
I had established a casual
and bantering familiarity

44
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,360
with the hotel's concierge,
a West-continental

45
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,560
known only as
Monsieur Jean,

46
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,600
who struck one
as being, at once,

47
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,920
both lazy and, really,
quite accommodating.

48
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,320
I expect he was
not well paid.

49
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,920
In any case,
one evening,

50
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,600
as I stood conferring
elbow-to-elbow with Monsieur Jean,

51
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,160
as had become my habit, I noticed
a new presence in our company.

52
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,720
A small, elderly man,
smartly dressed,

53
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880
with an exceptionally lively,
intelligent face

54
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,800
and an immediately perceptible
air of sadness.

55
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,680
He was, like the rest of us,
alone, but also, I must say,

56
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,440
he was the first that struck one
as being deeply and truly lonely.

57
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,280
A symptom of my own
medical condition as well.

58
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Who's this interesting
old fellow?

59
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,160
I inquired of Monsieur Jean.

60
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
To my surprise,
he was distinctly taken aback.

61
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,480
Don't you know?
He asked.

62
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Don't you recognize him?

63
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,000
He did look familiar.

64
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,320
That's Mr. Moustafa himself.

65
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,920
He arrived earlier
this morning.

66
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,360
This name will no
doubt be familiar

67
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,240
to the more seasoned
persons among you.

68
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Mr. Zero Moustafa was at one time
the richest man in Zubrowka,

69
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,240
and was still indeed the owner
of the Grand Budapest.

70
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,400
He often comes and
stays a week or more,

71
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760
three times a year at least,
but never in the season.

72
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,280
Monsieur Jean signaled to me
and I leaned closer.

73
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,560
I'll tell you a secret.

74
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800
He takes only a single-bed
sleeping room without a bath

75
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,400
in the rear corner
of the top floor

76
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,200
and it's smaller than
the service elevator!

77
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,720
It was well known,

78
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,480
Zero Moustafa had purchased
and famously inhabited

79
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,600
some of the most lavish castles
and palazzos on the continent.

80
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Yet here, in his own
nearly empty hotel,

81
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800
he occupied
a servant's quarters?

82
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,680
At that moment,
the curtain rose

83
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:03,280
on a parenthetical,
domestic drama...

84
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Shit.

85
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,760
...which required the immediate
and complete attention

86
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,920
of Monsieur Jean,

87
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
but, frankly,
did not hold mine for long.

88
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,440
However,

89
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,280
this premature intermission in the
story of the curious, old man

90
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,880
had left me,
as the expression goes,

91
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,240
"gespannt wie
ein Flitzebogen,"

92
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,720
that is,
on the edge of my seat,

93
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
where I remained throughout
the next morning, until,

94
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,760
in what I have found to be its
mysterious and utterly reliable fashion,

95
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,880
fate, once again,
intervened on my behalf.

96
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800
MR. MOUSTAFA:
I admire your work.

97
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,400
I beg your pardon?

98
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,280
I said, I know and admire
your wonderful work.

99
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,800
Thank you most kindly, sir.

100
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Did Monsieur Jean have a word
or two to share with you

101
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,360
about the aged proprietor
of this establishment?

102
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,800
I must confess, I did
myself inquire about you.

103
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840
He's perfectly capable,
of course, Monsieur Jean

104
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,800
but we can't
claim he's a first,

105
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680
or, in earnest,
even second-rate concierge.

106
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,400
But there it is.

107
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,720
Times have changed.

108
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,960
The thermal baths
are very beautiful.

109
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,720
They were in their
first condition.

110
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,440
It couldn't be maintained,
of course.

111
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Too decadent for
current tastes.

112
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,240
But I love it all just the same,
this enchanting old ruin.

113
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880
How did you come to
buy it, if I may ask?

114
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,800
The Grand Budapest.

115
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,840
I didn't.

116
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,600
If you're not
merely being polite,

117
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,520
and you must tell me
if that's the case,

118
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720
but if it genuinely
does interest you,

119
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,280
may I invite you to
dine with me tonight,

120
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,280
and it will be my pleasure and,
indeed, my privilege to tell you

121
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920
"my story."
Such as it is.

122
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Two ducks roasted
with olives.

123
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,680
Rabbit, salad?
Mmm.

124
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,600
Pouilly-Jouvet '52,
plus a split of the brut.

125
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920
That should
provide us ample time

126
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,240
if I commence promptly.

127
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,440
By all means.

128
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Well, it begins, as it must, with
our mutual friend's predecessor.

129
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
The beloved, original concierge
of The Grand Budapest.

130
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,680
It begins, of course, with...

131
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Bring the table to the window.
Yes, Monsieur Gustave.

132
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,840
Bring the tray to the table.
Right away, Monsieur Gustave.

133
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Right there. Have those
been brushed and blocked?

134
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,360
Of course, Monsieur Gustave.
Pack them in the hat boxes.

135
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,720
Is that from
Oberstdorf & Company?

136
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,760
I believe so,
Monsieur Gustave.

137
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Second trunk. Who has the tickets?
I do, Monsieur Gustave.

138
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Give them to me.

139
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,880
These are in order.
Wait in the corner.

140
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,240
I'm not leaving.

141
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,480
I beg your pardon?

142
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,680
I'm not leaving.
Why not?

143
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,800
I'm frightened.
Of what?

144
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,160
I fear this may be the last
time we ever see each other.

145
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,920
Why on earth would
that be the case?

146
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,320
Well, I can't put it
into words, but I feel it.

147
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,760
For goodness sake,
there's no reason

148
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,120
for you to
leave us if you'd...

149
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,760
Come with me.

150
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,320
To ****ing Lutz?

151
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600
Please.
Give me your hand.

152
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,760
You've nothing to fear. You're
always anxious before you travel.

153
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,240
I admit, you appear
to be suffering

154
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,760
a more acute attack
on this occasion.

155
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,240
But, truly and honestly...
Oh, dear God.

156
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,800
What have you done
to your fingernails?

157
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,720
I beg your pardon? This
diabolical varnish.

158
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,800
The color is completely wrong.
Don't you like it?

159
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800
It's not that I don't like it.
I am physically repulsed.

160
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,360
Perhaps this
will soothe you.

161
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,120
What? Don't recite.

162
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,400
Just listen to
the words. Hush.

163
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,600
Please. Not now.

164
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,680
"While questing once in noble
wood of gray, medieval pine,

165
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,800
"I came upon a tomb, rain-slick'd,
rubbed-cool, ethereal,

166
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,400
"'its inscription
long-vanished,

167
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,640
"yet still within its
melancholy fissures..."

168
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,280
MADAME D.: Will you light
a candle for me, please?

169
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,320
In the sacristy
of Santa Maria?

170
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,160
GUSTAVE H: I'll see to it
myself immediately.

171
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,280
Remember, I'm always with you.

172
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,560
I love you.

173
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,000
I love you.

174
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120
It's quite a thing winning the
loyalty of a woman like that

175
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,320
for 19 consecutive seasons.

176
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Um... Yes, sir.

177
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440
She's very fond
of me, you know.

178
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Yes, sir.

179
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,720
But I've never seen
her like that before.

180
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,960
No, sir.

181
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,400
She was shaking
like a shitting dog.

182
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Truly.

183
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Run to the cathedral of Santa
Maria in Brucknerplatz.

184
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Buy one of the plain,
half-length candles

185
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,880
and take back four
Klubecks in change.

186
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Light it in the sacristy,
say a brief rosary

187
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,200
then go to Mendl's and get me
a courtesan au chocolat.

188
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
If there's any money left, give it
to the crippled shoe-shine boy.

189
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Right away, sir.

190
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,880
Hold it.

191
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Who are you?

192
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,800
I'm Zero, sir.
The new Lobby Boy.

193
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Zero, you say?
Yes, sir.

194
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,680
I've never heard of you,
never laid eyes on you.

195
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Who hired you?

196
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,120
Mr. Mosher, sir.

197
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,400
Mr. Mosher!

198
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:22,720
Yes, Monsieur Gustave?

199
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Am I to understand you've
surreptitiously hired this young man

200
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,960
in the position
of a Lobby Boy?

201
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,920
He's been engaged
for a trial period,

202
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,760
pending your approval,
of course.

203
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Uh...

204
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Perhaps, yes.
Thank you, Mr. Mosher.

205
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,800
You're most welcome,
Monsieur Gustave.

206
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,960
You're now going to be
officially interviewed.

207
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,320
Should I go and light
the candle first, sir?

208
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:43,800
What? No.

209
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:48,600
Experience?

210
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Hotel Kinski,
Kitchen Boy, six months.

211
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Hotel Berlitz, Mop and
Broom Boy, three months.

212
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,840
Before that I was
a Skillet Scrubber...

213
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Experience, zero.

214
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,400
Thank you again,
Monsieur Gustave.

215
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,480
Straighten that cap,
Anatole.

216
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:00,440
The pleasure's mine, Herr Schneider.
The strap's busted.

217
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,400
These are not acceptable.
I fully agree.

218
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Education?

219
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,200
I studied reading
and spelling.

220
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,640
I started my primary school.
I almost...

221
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Education, zero.

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Now it's exploded.

223
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Good morning, Cicero.
Call the goddamn plumber!

224
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,480
This afternoon,
Monsieur Gustave?

225
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:14,800
Without fail,
Frau Liebling.

226
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,440
What in hell is this? Not now.

227
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Family?

228
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Zero.

229
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Six, Igor.

230
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Why do you want
to be a Lobby Boy?

231
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Well, who wouldn't,
at the Grand Budapest, sir?

232
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,400
It's an institution.

233
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,480
Very good.

234
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,800
A thousand Klubecks.

235
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,960
My goodness.

236
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Were you ever
a Lobby Boy, sir?

237
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,200
What do you think?

238
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360
Well, I suppose you'd have
to start somewhere...

239
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,240
Go and light the goddamn candle.
Yes, sir.

240
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,440
MR. MOUSTAFA:
And so, my life began.

241
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Junior Lobby Boy in-training,

242
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,200
Grand Budapest Hotel,

243
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,560
under the strict command
of Monsieur Gustave H.

244
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,920
I became his pupil, and he was
to be my counselor and guardian.

245
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,840
GUSTAVE H:
What is a Lobby Boy?

246
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,400
A Lobby Boy's completely
invisible, yet always in sight.

247
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680
A Lobby Boy remembers
what people hate.

248
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,680
A Lobby Boy anticipates
the client's needs

249
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,960
before the needs are needed.

250
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,240
A Lobby Boy is, above all,
discreet to a fault.

251
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,560
Our guests know
their deepest secrets,

252
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,200
some of which are,
frankly, rather unseemly,

253
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,120
will go with us
to our graves.

254
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,600
So keep your
mouth shut, Zero.

255
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,960
Yes, sir.

256
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,800
That's all for now.

257
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200
MR. MOUSTAFA: I began to realize
that many of the hotel's

258
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120
most valued and distinguished
guests came for him.

259
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,960
It seemed to be an essential
part of his duties...

260
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,360
Ah!

261
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,680
...but I believe it
was also his pleasure.

262
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,760
The requirements
were always the same.

263
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,400
They had to be rich,

264
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,720
old,

265
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,800
insecure,

266
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,440
superficial,

267
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,680
blonde,

268
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Why blonde?

269
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,800
Because they all were.

270
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,640
He was, by the way,

271
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,440
the most liberally perfumed
man I had ever encountered.

272
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,480
The scent announced his
approach from a great distance

273
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,480
and lingered for many minutes
after he was gone.

274
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,360
I worked six days each week
plus a half-day Sunday,

275
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,840
5:00 AM until
just after midnight.

276
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,600
Our meals were small but
frequent, for stamina.

277
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Two breakfasts, two lunches
and a late supper.

278
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Monsieur Gustave also
delivered a nightly sermon.

279
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Rudeness is merely
the expression of fear.

280
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720
People fear they
won't get what they want.

281
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440
The most dreadful and unattractive
person only needs to be loved,

282
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,800
and they will open
up like a flower.

283
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,880
I am reminded of a verse,

284
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,480
"The painter's brush
touched the inchoate face

285
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,640
"by ends of nimble bristles

286
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,760
"and with their
blush of first color,

287
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,760
"rendered her
lifeless cheek living."

288
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000
MR. MOUSTAFA: His own dinner,
he took alone in his room.

289
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,400
The identity of the owner of the
hotel was unknown to all of us.

290
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,400
Each month, his emissary, known
as Deputy Kovacs, arrived

291
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,440
to review the books
and convey messages

292
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160
on behalf of
the mysterious proprietor.

293
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,320
On these occasions, Monsieur
Gustave and our business manager,

294
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Herr Becker, met with him in private
consultation above Reception.

295
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
This was also
when I met Agatha,

296
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,480
but we won't discuss that.

297
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,400
What do you want?
Look.

298
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,640
GUSTAVE H: Dear God.

299
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,120
I'm terribly sorry, sir.

300
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,320
We must go to her.

301
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,400
We must?

302
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,240
Tout de suite.
She needs me, and I need

303
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,800
you to help me with
my bags and so on.

304
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,760
How fast can you pack?
Five minutes.

305
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Do it. And bring a bottle
of the Pouilly-Jouvet '26

306
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,200
in an ice bucket
with two glasses

307
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,280
so we don't have to drink the cat
piss they serve in the dining car.

308
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,440
I blame myself.

309
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,480
She tried to tell me she had a premonition.
I didn't listen.

310
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,280
All of Lutz will
be dressed in black,

311
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,400
except her own ghastly,
deceitful children

312
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,640
whom she loathed and
couldn't bear to kiss hello.

313
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,160
They'll be dancing
like gypsies.

314
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
There's really no point
in doing anything in life,

315
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,200
because it's all over
in the blink of an eye...

316
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,280
And, the next thing you know,
rigor mortis sets in.

317
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,320
Oh, how the good die young.

318
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520
With any luck, she's left a few
Klubecks for your old friend,

319
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,280
but one never knows
until the ink

320
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,960
is dry on
the death certificate.

321
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,320
She was dynamite in the sack,
by the way.

322
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:36,680
She was 84,
Monsieur Gustave.

323
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,360
I've had older.

324
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,160
When you're young,
it's all fillet steak,

325
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,360
but as the years go by, you have
to move on to the cheaper cuts,

326
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,840
which is fine with me,
because I like those.

327
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,280
More flavorful,
or so they say.

328
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,680
Why are we stopping
at a barley field?

329
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,600
Well, hello there, chaps.

330
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,240
Documents, please.

331
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,440
With pleasure.

332
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,400
It's not a very flattering
portrait, I'm afraid.

333
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,240
I was once considered
a great beauty.

334
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,920
What does the "F" stand for?
Fritz? Franz?

335
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,360
Franz.

336
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,680
I knew it!

337
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,960
He's making
a funny face.

338
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,760
That's a Migratory Visa with Stage
Three Worker Status, Franz, darling.

339
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,400
He's with me.

340
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,920
Come outside, please.

341
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,360
Now, wait a minute. Sit down, Zero.
His papers are in order.

342
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,400
I cross-referenced
them myself with

343
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,600
the Bureau of
Labor and Servitude.

344
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,640
You can't arrest him simply
because he's a bloody immigrant.

345
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,920
He hasn't done anything wrong.

346
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,480
Stop it, damn you!

347
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Never mind, Monsieur Gustave!
Let them proceed!

348
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,600
GUSTAVE H: Ow! That hurts!

349
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,240
You filthy, goddamn,
pock-marked, fascist assholes!

350
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,720
Take your hands
off my Lobby Boy!

351
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,960
What's the problem?

352
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:26,200
This is outrageous.

353
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,960
The young man works for me at the
Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad.

354
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Monsieur Gustave?

355
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,160
My name is Henckels.

356
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,520
I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfgang
Henckels-Bergersdörfer.

357
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,480
Do you remember me?

358
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,160
I know exactly who you are. It's uncanny.
You're little Albert.

359
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,160
I'm terribly embarrassed.
Release them.

360
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,160
Release them.

361
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Hmm.

362
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,200
Your colleague is stateless.

363
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680
He'll need to apply for a
revised Special Transit Permit,

364
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,160
which at this point may be
very difficult to acquire.

365
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Take this.

366
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,400
It's temporary

367
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,880
but it's the best
I can offer, I'm afraid.

368
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,120
And how's your
wonderful mother?

369
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,280
She's very well, thank you.
I adore her.

370
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,640
Send my love.
I will.

371
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,400
Your companion
was very kind to me

372
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,400
when I was
a lonely little boy.

373
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,880
My men and I apologize
for disturbing you.

374
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,160
I beg your pardon, sir.

375
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,720
You see? There are still faint
glimmers of civilization

376
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,720
left in this barbaric
slaughterhouse

377
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,600
that was once
known as humanity.

378
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,200
Indeed, that's
what we provide

379
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,800
in our own modest,
humble, insignificant...

380
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,600
Oh, **** it.

381
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,720
Where is she, Clotilde?
Take me to her.

382
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,280
You're looking so well, darling.
You really are.

383
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,840
They've done
a marvelous job.

384
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,200
I don't know
what sort of cream

385
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:17,480
they've put on you
down at the morgue,

386
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,960
but I want some.

387
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,440
Honestly, you look better
than you have in years.

388
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,640
You look like you're alive.

389
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,160
Oh, you changed it after all.
It's perfect.

390
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,160
Clotilde?
Oui, Monsieur Gustave?

391
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360
A glass of chilled water
with no ice, please.

392
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,880
Yes. M. Gustave --

393
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,160
-- and. also. M. Serge would like to speak with you
privately in his office. please.

394
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,240
Oh.

395
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,320
All right, then.

396
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,520
I shan't be long, darling.

397
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,840
MR. MOUSTAFA: We were escorted
through a green baize door,

398
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,360
down a narrow service corridor
and into the butler's pantry.

399
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,400
A moment later,
the kitchen passage swung open

400
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,840
and a small servant dressed in
white jolted into the room.

401
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000
I've never forgotten
the look on that man's face.

402
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,840
What the devil
is going on?

403
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,280
I, myself,
had never set foot inside

404
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,200
a house of this
kind in my life.

405
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,160
I understood very little about
the events that were to follow.

406
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:21,320
But, eventually,
I came to recognize,

407
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,400
when the destiny of a great
fortune is at stake,

408
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,000
men's greed spreads like a
poison in the bloodstream.

409
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520
Uncles, nephews, cousins,

410
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,320
in-laws of increasingly
tenuous connection.

411
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,400
The old woman's
most distant relations

412
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,400
had come foraging
out of the woodwork.

413
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
At the head of
this congregation,

414
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,200
it was
a disorienting coincidence,

415
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,120
we discovered our
own Deputy Kovacs,

416
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,800
himself an important attorney,
of course.

417
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,600
He was the executor
of the dead widow's estate.

418
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,440
This is Madame D's
last will and testament.

419
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760
It consists of
a general tontine

420
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,800
drawn up before the event of her
husband's death 46 years ago,

421
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,200
in combination
with 635 amendments,

422
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,800
notations, corrections,
and letters of wishes

423
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,400
executed during
the subsequent decades.

424
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,400
The ultimate legality
of this accumulation

425
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,760
requires further analysis,

426
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,960
but in the opinion of this office,
it was Madame D's intention

427
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,120
that control of the
vast bulk of her estate

428
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,920
should be transferred,
forthwith, to her son, Dmitri,

429
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,760
with special allowances
for his sisters,

430
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,400
Marguerite, Laetizia,
and Carolina,

431
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,600
and minor gifts for various
members of the extended family

432
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,520
as shown in
the List of Recipients,

433
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,320
which I will elucidate
in due course.

434
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,800
However.

435
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,640
An additional codicil,

436
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,120
delivered into my possession
by post only this morning,

437
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,680
and, by all indications,
sent by Madame D

438
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,160
during the last
hours of her life,

439
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,920
contains an amendment
to the original certificate,

440
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:12,160
which, as prescribed by law,
I will read to you now.

441
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,480
The authenticity
of this document

442
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,600
has not yet been confirmed
by the presiding magistrate,

443
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,000
so I ask that all parties be
patient and refrain from comment

444
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,480
until such time as our
investigations can be completed.

445
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,680
"To my esteemed friend who
comforted me in my later years

446
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160
"and brought sunshine
into the life of an old woman

447
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,160
"who thought that she
would never be happy again.

448
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,200
"Monsieur Gustave H,

Wow!
"...by Johannes van Hoytl..."

453
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,520
I can't believe it.
"...the younger..."

454
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,800
What?

455
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,800
"...which gave us
both so much pleasure."

456
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,200
The van Hoytl?

457
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,400
Tax-free?
Can she do that?

458
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Who's Gustave H?

459
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,520
I'm afraid that's me, darling.

460
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,200
That ****ing faggot!

461
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,880
He's a concierge.
What are you doing here?

462
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,400
I've come to pay my respects
to a great woman whom I loved.

463
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,840
This man is an intruder
in my home!

464
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,520
It's not yours yet, Dmitri.

465
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Only when probate is granted,
and the Deed of Entitlement...

466
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
You're not getting Boy with
 Apple, you goddamn little fruit!

467
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,200
How's that supposed
to make me feel?

468
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Call the police.
We're pressing charges.

469
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,680
This criminal has plagued my
family for nearly 20 years.

470
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,840
He's a ruthless adventurer
and a con-artist

471
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,800
who preys on mentally feeble,
sick old ladies,

472
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,360
and he probably
****s them, too!

473
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,680
I go to bed with
all my friends.

474
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,240
Where's Céline?

475
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,840
What?

476
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960
She's dead.
We're reading her will.

477
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,400
Oh, yes, yes,
of course.

478
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,480
If I learn you ever once laid
a finger on my mother's body,

479
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,280
living or dead,
I swear to God,

480
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,400
I'll out your throat!
You hear me?

481
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,400
I thought I was supposed
to be a ****ing faggot.

482
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,680
You are,
but you're bisexual.

483
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Let's change
the subject.

484
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,320
I'm leaving.

485
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,200
Wait here quietly. please.

486
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,600
That picture, Boy with Apple,
is priceless. Understand?

487
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Congratulations,
Monsieur Gustave!

488
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,280
They're going to fight me
for the son of a bitch.

489
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Is it very beautiful?

490
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,800
Beyond description.

491
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,440
"E'en the most gifted bard's
rhyme can only sing

492
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680
"but to the lack of her
and all she isn't!

493
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,280
"His tongue doth..."
Can I see it?

494
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,520
I don't see why not.

495
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,520
This is van Hoytl's
exquisite portrayal

496
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,000
of a beautiful boy
on the cusp of manhood.

497
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,840
Blond, smooth. Skin as
white as that milk.

498
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,360
Of impeccable provenance.

499
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,120
One of the last in private hands,
and unquestionably, the best.

500
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,640
It's a masterpiece.

501
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,880
The rest of this shit
is worthless junk.

502
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,640
M. Gustave ?

503
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,840
Can I help you?

504
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Yes. Serge.

505
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600
You can wrap this up. please.

506
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,960
Wrap up --

507
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,600
Wrap up -- "Boy With Apple"?

508
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,200
What did you want
to tell me, before?

509
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,520
I think I cannot
say right now.

510
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,400
Write me tomorrow.
Lutzbahn Station!

511
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
I'll never part with it.

512
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,600
It reminded her of me. It will
remind me of her. Always.

513
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520
I'll die with this
picture above my bed.

514
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,720
See the resemblance?

515
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,720
Oh, yes.

516
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,760
Actually, we should sell it.

517
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Sooner rather than later, in
case they try to steal it back.

518
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Plus, something about
those lunatic

519
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,920
foot-soldiers
on the express...

520
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560
This could be a tricky war and a
long dry spell in the hotel trade.

521
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,280
For all we know, they could
board us up tomorrow.

522
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,560
Let's make
a solemn blood-pact.

523
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,800
We'll contact the black market
and liquidate Boy with Apple

524
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,280
by the end of the week,

525
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,760
then leave the country
and lay low

526
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,280
somewhere along
the Maltese Riviera

527
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,400
until the troubles blow over
and we resume our posts.

528
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,960
In exchange for
your help, your loyalty

529
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,960
and your services
as my personal valet,

530
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,720
I pledge to you 1.5%
of the net sale price.

531
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,920
1.5?
Plus room and board.

532
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Could we make it 10?
10? Are you joking?

533
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,760
That's more than
I'd pay an actual dealer,

534
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,280
and you wouldn't know Chiaroscuro
from chicken giblets.

535
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,160
No, 1.5 is correct.
But I'll tell you what,

536
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,560
if I die first, and I most certainly
will, you will be my sole heir.

537
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,120
There's not much
in the kitty except

538
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,560
a set of ivory-backed
hairbrushes

539
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,120
and my library of
romantic poetry,

540
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,960
but when the time comes,
these will be yours,

541
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,440
along with whatever we haven't
already spent on whores and whiskey.

542
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,240
This is our
sacred bond.

543
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,440
I'll draw it up
right now.

544
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,520
I, Monsieur Gustave H, being of
relatively sound mind and body,

545
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600
on this day,
the 19th of October,

546
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,600
in the year of
our Lord 1932...

547
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,640
MR. MOUSTAFA: He never told
me where he came from.

548
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,360
I never asked who
his family had been.

549
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,280
Excuse me.

550
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Uh-huh?

551
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,520
The police are here.
They asked for you.

552
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,400
Tell them
I'll be right down.

553
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,200
Okay.

554
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,400
Have you ever been questioned
by the authorities?

555
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,920
Yes, on one occasion
I was arrested

556
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,320
and tortured by
the rebel militia

557
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,560
after the Desert Uprising.

558
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,760
You know the drill, then.
Zip it. Of course.

559
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,360
You've never heard the word "van
Hoytl" in your life. Okay, let's go.

560
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,400
How may we serve you,
gentlemen?

561
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:16,840
Ah, Inspector Henckels.

562
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600
"By order of the Commissioner
of Police, Zubrowka Province,

563
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,560
"I hereby place you under
arrest for the murder

564
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,240
"of Madame Céline Villeneuve
Desgoffe und Taxis."

565
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,880
I knew there was
something fishy.

566
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,520
We never got
the cause of death.

567
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:30,920
She's been murdered
and you think I did it.

568
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,560
HENCKELS: Hey!

569
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,400
Stop!

570
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,640
What happened?

571
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,280
What happened, my dear Zero,
is I beat the living shit

572
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,120
out of a sniveling little runt
called Pinky Bandinski

573
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,120
who had the gall to
question my virility,

574
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,600
because if there's one thing we've
learned from penny dreadfuls,

575
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,800
it's that, when you find
yourself in a place like this,

576
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,480
you must never
be a candy-ass.

577
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,640
You've got to prove
yourself from Day One.

578
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,320
You've got to
win their respect.

579
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,760
You should take a long look
at his ugly mug this morning.

580
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,960
He's, actually,
become a dear friend.

581
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,640
You'll meet him, I hope.

582
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,720
So. You've talked to Kovacs?

583
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,320
I saw him last
night in secret.

584
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,720
He made me take an oath on a
Bible I wouldn't tell a soul.

585
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,400
You're supposed to also.

586
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,320
I'll do that later.

587
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,680
He suspects you're innocent.

588
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,000
Of course he does.

589
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,960
What's the charge?

590
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,360
In the small hours of
the evening of 19 October,

591
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,600
an individual well-known to the house
and staff, a Monsieur Gustave H,

592
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,920
did arrive at the Desgoffe
und Taxis residence in Lutz

593
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,640
and entered by
the rear service alley,

594
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,200
alerting no one
to his presence,

595
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,160
and did then proceed by way of
back stairs and servants' passage,

596
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,680
to deliver himself into the
private chambers of Madame D.

597
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,440
There is no evidence
to indicate whether this visit

598
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,120
had been pre-arranged
with her or not.

599
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,200
The next morning Madame D was found
dead by strychnine poisoning.

600
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,520
Monsieur Gustave was not
observed on the premises again

601
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,920
until, of course,
24 hours later.

602
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,360
The identity of
his accusers is made

603
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,800
clear in this
notarized deposition.

604
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,440
They include, essentially, all
members of the extended family,

605
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,360
but the key witness who actually
ostensibly saw the alleged events

606
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,200
appears to have
fled the jurisdiction.

607
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,400
His whereabouts are
currently unknown,

608
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,880
but he's being sought and pursued
by the relevant authorities.

609
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,200
Who is he?

610
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,320
Serge?

611
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,440
I'm afraid so.

612
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,920
That little prick.

613
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,240
No, I don't believe it.
They put him up to it.

614
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,560
I've been dropped
into a nest of vipers.

615
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,800
You have an alibi?

616
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,160
Of course, but she's married
to the Duke of Westphalia.

617
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,000
I can't allow her name to get
mixed-up in all this monkey business.

618
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Your life may be at stake.

619
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,000
I know,
but the bitch legged it.

620
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,960
She's already on board the Queen
Nasstasja halfway to Dutch Tanganyika.

621
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,720
Don't give up.

622
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,120
MR. MOUSTAFA:
The details of the conspiracy,

623
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,560
now a matter of public record,

624
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,920
were, at that time, impossible
for us to apprehend.

625
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,800
I'm looking for Serge X,

626
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,840
a young man in
the service of my employer,

627
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,560
the family Desgoffe und Taxis
of Schloss Lutz.

628
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,760
Yes, sir?
You're his sister?

629
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,360
Yes, sir.
Seen him lately?

630
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,640
No, sir.
No, sir?

631
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:35,720
No, sir.

632
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,960
I need to find him right away,
for his own safety

633
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,680
and everybody else's.

634
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,560
If he shows up...

635
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,520
Yes, sir?
Tell him Jopling says,

636
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,000
"Come home."

637
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,760
MR. MOUSTAFA:
But one thing was certain,

638
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,400
the Desgoffe und Taxis
were a very powerful family,

639
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,720
and time was not on our side.

640
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:19,520
A letter from
Monsieur Gustave. Zero.

641
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,440
You want me to?
Read it.

642
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,240
"My dear and
trusted colleagues..."

643
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,480
I miss you deeply
as I write from the confines

644
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:35,720
of my regrettable and
preposterous incarceration.

645
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Until I walk amongst
you again as a free man,

646
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,600
the Grand Budapest
remains in your hands,

647
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,960
as does its
impeccable reputation.

648
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Keep it spotless
and glorify it.

649
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,720
Take extra special care of
every little-bitty bit of it

650
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,000
as if I were watching
over you like a hawk

651
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,680
with a horse whip in its
talons, because I am.

652
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,920
Should I discover a lapse of
any variety during my absence,

653
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,760
I promise, swift and merciless
justice will descend upon you.

654
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,960
A great and noble house has been
placed under your protection.

655
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,800
Tell Zero if you see
any funny business.

656
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,120
"Your devoted
Monsieur Gustave."

657
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,560
Then there's a poem, but we
might want to start on the soup

658
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,160
since it's 46 stanzas.

659
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,120
"A moist, black ash dampens the
filth of a dung-dark rat's nest

660
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,400
"and mingles with
the thick scent of wood rot

661
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,440
"while the lark song
of a guttersnipe..."

662
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,880
JOPLING: I never
trusted that butler.

663
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,880
He's too honest.

664
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,760
DMITRI ON PHONE: Too honest, you say?
 JOPLING: Mmm-hmm.

665
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,800
Right, well,
be that as it may,

666
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,280
find him quick
and make it snappy.

667
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,160
May I offer any of you
inmates a plate of mush?

668
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,800
No? Anyone?

669
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,560
You with the very
large scar on your face?

670
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,800
Try it. It's actually quite warm
and nourishing this morning.

671
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,400
It needs a dash of salt.

672
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Good day.

673
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,320
Mush, gents?
Any takers?

674
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,000
Suit yourselves.

675
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Rise and shine.
Chop, chop.

676
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,000
Good morning, Pinky.

677
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,800
Mendl's again?

678
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,400
Precisely.

679
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,600
Who's got the throat slitter?

680
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,600
Out of this world.

681
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:05,120
GUSTAVE H:
Mendl's is the best.

682
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,440
Well, back to work.
Monsieur Gustave?

683
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Yes?

684
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,520
PINKY: Me and the boys
talked it over.

685
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,200
We think you're
a really straight fellow.

686
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,600
Well, I've never been
accused of that before,

687
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,760
but I appreciate
the sentiment.

688
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,320
You're one of us now.

689
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,600
What a lovely thing to say.

690
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,680
Thank you, dear Pinky.
Thank you, Gunther.

691
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,320
Thank you, Wolf.

692
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Anything else?

693
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,400
Tell him, Ludwig.

694
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,640
Checkpoint 19 ain't
no two-bit hoosegow.

695
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,120
You got broad-gauge iron bars
on every door, vent and window.

696
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,920
You got 72 guards on the floor
and 16 more in the towers.

697
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,400
You got a 325-foot drop into
a moat full of crocodiles.

698
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,560
But, like the best of them,
it's got a soft spot,

699
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,520
which in this case
happens to take the form

700
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,880
of a storm-drain sewer system

701
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,360
dating from the time of the
original rock fortification

702
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,640
way back in the Middle Ages.

703
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,920
Now, nobody's saying it's a stroll
down a tree-lined promenade

704
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,880
with a fine lady
and a white poodle,

705
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,720
but it's got what
you'd call "vulnerability,"

706
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600
and that's our
bread and butter.

707
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Take a look.

708
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,160
Who drew this?

709
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,440
What do you mean,
"Who drew this?" I did.

710
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,720
Very good. You've got
a wonderful line, Ludwig.

711
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,600
This shows great
artistic promise.

712
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,200
Question, how do you intend to
penetrate this lowest rudiment?

713
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,960
It's 25 inches of reinforced
granite masonry, is it not?

714
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,880
Digging with
the throat-slitter,

715
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,720
I expect this would take three to
six months of continual effort,

716
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,400
during which time
several of our members

717
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,400
will have been
violently executed.

718
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,600
You hit the nail on the head,
Mr. Gustave.

719
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,360
We got fake documents,
second-hand street clothes,

720
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,960
a rope ladder made of
sticks and bunk-linens,

721
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,400
but we need digging tools,

722
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:59,240
which are proving hard to
come by in this flop-house.

723
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,160
YOUNG WRITER:
At this point in the story,

724
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,960
the old man fell silent and
pushed away his saddle of lamb.

725
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,000
His eyes went
blank as two stones.

726
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,200
I could see he
was in distress.

727
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Are you ill,
Mr. Moustafa?

728
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:26,960
I finally asked.

729
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,240
Oh, dear me, no.

730
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,440
He said.

731
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,800
It's only that I don't
know how to proceed.

732
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,480
He was crying.

733
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,160
You see,
I never speak of Agatha,

734
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,960
because even at
the thought of her name

735
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,920
I'm unable to
control my emotions.

736
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,280
Well, I suppose
there's no way around it.

737
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,880
You see, she saved us.

738
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,400
On our third
formal rendezvous,

739
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:58,160
I had asked for her hand in
marriage and she had agreed.

740
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,240
Will you marry me?
Yes.

741
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,760
No one knew, of course, but,
then, who would have cared?

742
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,720
We were each completely
on our own in the world,

743
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,880
and we were deeply in love.

744
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Here.
Thank you.

745
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,560
It's a book.
I see.

746
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,240
Romantic Poetry,
Volume One.

747
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:25,600
Monsieur Gustave
recommended it.

748
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:26,800
I have a copy of
my own as well.

749
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,960
I ruined the surprise,
I suppose.

750
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,400
I'll go ahead
and open it, anyway.

751
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,520
Read the inscription.

752
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,120
MR. MOUSTAFA:
Monsieur Gustave insisted

753
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,560
on an immediate and thorough
cross-examination...

754
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,440
She's charming.
She's so charming.

755
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,800
...during which he presented
Agatha with a porcelain pendant

756
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,200
and five dozen individually
tissue-wrapped white tulips

757
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,560
in a box the size
of a child's coffin.

758
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,400
It's not right.

759
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,480
I beg your pardon?

760
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:13,840
Why is he sulking?

761
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,920
She's my girlfriend.
You can't just buy her things.

762
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,480
I'm only interviewing this vision
of loveliness on your behalf.

763
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,280
Never be jealous in this life,
Zero, not even for an instant.

764
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,000
Is he flirting with you?

765
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,800
Yes.

766
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,440
I approve of this union.

767
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,160
Agatha, my beauty,
return to your beloved.

768
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,640
MR. MOUSTAFA:
Soon we learned...

769
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,560
GUSTAVE H:
Blessings upon you both.

770
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,480
...not only was Agatha
immensely skilled

771
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,200
with a palette knife and
a butter-cream flourish...

772
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,400
Mendl.
Go.

773
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,600
...she was also very brave.

774
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,120
I believe she
was born that way.

775
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,560
Something's missing.

776
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,240
A crucial document, either misplaced
or, conceivably, destroyed.

777
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,960
I don't know what it contains, I
don't know what it represents,

778
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,520
I don't know what it is,

779
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,840
but there are traces
and shadows of it everywhere.

780
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,760
Now, I don't want
to alarm you,

781
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,680
and I don't expect to see
any significant change

782
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,280
in the magistrate's
ultimate decision

783
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,880
vis-à-vis your
own inheritance,

784
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,880
but, especially given the
circumstances of the death,

785
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,280
as well as the disappearance
of the key witness

786
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,560
in the murder case, Serge X,

787
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,440
I suggest that we immediately
bring this matter

788
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,840
to the attention of
the municipal inspector

789
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,800
so that there can be
absolutely no question

790
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,400
of impropriety
at any future date.

791
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,360
Agreed?
Not agreed.

792
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,280
Not agreed?
Not agreed.

793
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,560
Can I ask you a question,
Vilmos?

794
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,240
Yes, Dmitri?

795
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:02,760
Who are you working for?

796
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,120
I beg your pardon?

797
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,120
Who are you working for?

798
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,800
I thought you're supposed
to be our lawyer.

799
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,760
Well, in point of fact,

800
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,680
I'm the executor
of the estate.

801
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:16,000
In this particular situation,
I represent the deceased.

802
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,200
Oh, yeah?

803
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,800
Yeah. A provision for my fees
was included in the...

804
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:25,800
Just wrap it up and
don't make waves. Agreed?

805
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,800
I'm an attorney.
I'm obligated to

806
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,160
proceed according
to the rule of law.

807
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:33,640
Not agreed.

808
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:42,280
This stinks, sisters.

809
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,800
Did he just throw
my cat out the window?

810
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:50,880
I don't think so.

811
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,960
No. Did he?
Jopling?

812
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,840
Shh-shh.

813
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,960
LUDWIG: Okay.

814
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,240
There's something
I haven't told you, Agatha.

815
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Okay.
We stole a painting.

816
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,440
It's very valuable, maybe five
million Klubecks, in fact.

817
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,520
I don't know if anyone's
even noticed it's missing yet,

818
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:42,320
but if something
should happen to me...

819
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,000
You steal art?

820
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,160
One picture. Anyway, we need to
make a plan for your survival.

821
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,160
Hide this. It's in code and you might
need a magnifying glass to read it,

822
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,600
but it tells you exactly where
and how to find Boy with Apple.

823
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,840
Don't take less than half the
retail asking price. Also...

824
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,360
Zero, I'm a baker.

825
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,760
You're a pastry chef.

826
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,880
I'm not a fence,
if that's the term.

827
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:02,960
I don't trade in
stolen property.

828
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,400
I said it wrong.
She willed it to him.

829
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,400
Go to sleep.

830
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:19,920
Yes, Herr Mendl.

831
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,440
Hide this.
No.

832
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,640
Okay, but take it anyway.

833
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,840
MR. MOUSTAFA: The next morning,
Herr Becker received a peculiar,

834
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,760
last-minute notice from the
office of Deputy Kovacs,

835
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,440
postponing their scheduled
meeting, in perpetuity.

836
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,560
LUDWIG: Let's blow.

837
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,600
How did you get out there?

838
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:47,960
Shut the **** up.

839
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,800
These guys are
trying to escape.

840
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,720
What's wrong with you,
you goddamn snitch?

841
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,920
Guard! Guard!

842
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:03,480
It's you.
Thank you.

843
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,680
Thank you, you sweet, kind man.

844
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,560
LUDWIG: Okay.

845
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:30,920
ALL: Whoa!

846
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,200
I suppose you'd
call that a draw.

847
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Good evening.

848
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,240
Let me introduce you. Pinky, Wolf,
Ludwig, this is the divine Zero.

849
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,280
Gunther was slain
in the catacombs.

850
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,280
Well, boys, who knows when we'll
all meet again, but if one clay...

851
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:23,560
Hold it.

852
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,960
No time to gab.

853
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,560
Take care of yourself,
Mr. Gustave.

854
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,760
Good luck, kid.

855
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,880
Which way to
the safe house?

856
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,480
I couldn't find one.

857
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,640
No safe house? Really? We're
completely on our own out here?

858
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,960
I'm afraid so. I asked around, but...

859
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,960
GUSTAVE H: I understand. Too risky.
We'll just have to wing it, I suppose.

860
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,600
Let's put on
our disguises.

861
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:53,800
We're wearing them.

862
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:54,920
No, we're not.

863
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,600
We said false whiskers
and fake noses and so on.

864
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,960
You didn't bring any?

865
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,280
I thought you
were growing one.

866
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,400
And it wouldn't look
realistic, would it?

867
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,800
No, when done properly,
they're perfectly convincing.

868
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,960
But I take your point.
So be it.

869
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,560
Give me a few squirts of L'air
de Panache, please, will you?

870
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,920
Can I not get
a squirt, even?

871
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,640
I forgot
the L'air de Panache.

872
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,400
Honestly, you forgot
the L'air de Panache?

873
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,600
I don't believe it.
How could you?

874
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,760
I've been in jail, Zero! Do you
understand how humiliating this is?

875
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,960
I smell.

876
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,840
That's just
marvelous, isn't it?

877
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,320
I suppose this is to
be expected back in...

878
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:34,800
Where do you
come from again?

879
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,520
Aq Salim al-Jabat.
Precisely.

880
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,320
I suppose this is to be expected
back in Aq Salim al-Jabat

881
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:40,760
where one's prized
possessions

882
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,800
are a stack of filthy carpets
and a starving goat,

883
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,840
and one sleeps behind a tent flap and
survives on wild dates and scarabs.

884
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,520
But it's not
how I trained you.

885
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,400
What on God's earth
possessed you to leave

886
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:52,840
the homeland where
you obviously belong

887
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,360
and travel
unspeakable distances

888
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,400
to become a penniless immigrant in a
refined, highly-cultivated society

889
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,280
that, quite frankly, could've gotten
along very well without you?

890
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,200
The war.

891
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:05,680
Say again?

892
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,880
Well, you see,
my father was murdered

893
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,720
and the rest of my family
were executed by firing squad.

894
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,400
Our village was
burned to the ground

895
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,840
and those who managed to
survive were forced to flee.

896
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,840
I left because
of the war.

897
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,520
I see. So you're, actually, really
more of a refugee, in that sense?

898
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:24,680
Truly.

899
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,560
Well, I suppose I'd better take
back everything I just said.

900
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,920
What a bloody idiot I am.
Pathetic fool.

901
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,240
Goddamn, selfish bastard.

902
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,560
This is disgraceful, and it's beneath
the standards of the Grand Budapest.

903
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,240
I apologize on
behalf of the hotel.

904
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,840
It's not your fault. You were
just upset I forgot the perfume.

905
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,400
Don't make excuses for me.
I owe you my life.

906
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,800
You are my dear friend and protégé
and I'm very proud of you.

907
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,600
You must know that.

908
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,840
I'm so sorry, Zero.

909
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,400
We're brothers.

910
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,560
How's our darling Agatha?

911
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,280
"'Twas first light when I saw
her face upon the heath,

912
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,120
"and hence did I return,
day-by-day, entranced,

913
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,240
"tho' vinegar did brine my
heart, never..."

914
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,800
Very good. I'm going to stop you
there because the alarm has sounded,

915
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,760
but remember where we left off
because I insist you finish later.

916
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,520
I want roadblocks
at every junction for 50km.

917
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,440
I want rail blocks at every
train station for 100km.

918
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,280
I want 50 men
and 10 bloodhounds

919
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:56,520
ready in five minutes.

920
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,280
We're going
to strip-search

921
01:02:58,400 --> 01:02:59,960
every pretzel-Ha us,
Waffel-hut, Biergarten

922
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,200
and especially
every grand hotel

923
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,920
from Äugenzburg to Zilchbrück.

924
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,120
These men are dangerous,
professional criminals.

925
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,440
At least three of
them are anyway.

926
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:09,640
Who are you?

927
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,400
What are you doing here?

928
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,800
Civilian personnel aren't
permitted in the cellblock.

929
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:16,400
This is a military
investigation.

930
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,000
This is Mr. Jopling, sir.

931
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,320
His employer's mother
was one of the victims...

932
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,800
Shut up.

933
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,160
You work for the family
Desgoffe und Taxis?

934
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,280
Are you aware of the murder of Deputy
Vilmos Kovacs on 23rd October?

935
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,840
I'm aware of
his disappearance.

936
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,560
His body was found stuffed in a
sarcophagus behind a storage room

937
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,320
at the Kunstmuseum
late last night.

938
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,160
He was short four fingers.

939
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:41,640
What do you
know about that?

940
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,000
Nothing.

941
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,680
Escort Mr. Jopling
off the premises.

942
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,200
Mendl's.

943
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,200
Operator, get me the Excelsior
Palace in Baden-Jurgen

944
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:07,840
and reverse
the charges, please.

945
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:09,960
We've no choice. There's
nowhere else to turn.

946
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,440
I'll hold.
Thank you.

947
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,360
It's our only hope. Otherwise, I shouldn't
even mention its existence to you.

948
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,320
It goes without saying, never breathe
a word about this to a living soul.

949
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,280
Do you swear? Of course.
What is it, in fact?

950
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:20,600
I can't say.

951
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,400
How does one come by
front-row aisle seats

952
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,560
for a first night at the Opera
Toscana with one day's notice?

953
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,200
How does one arrange
a private viewing

954
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,200
of the tapestry collection
at the Royal Saxon Gallery?

955
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,560
How does one secure a corner table
at Chez Dominique on a Thursday?

956
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,000
Ivan, darling,
it's Gustave. Hello.

957
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,240
Well, I was until
about five minutes ago.

958
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,560
We've taken it upon ourselves to clear
out in a hurry if you see what I mean.

959
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,240
Well, through a sewer,
as it happens. Exactly.

960
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,800
Listen, Ivan, I'm sorry to out you
off, but we're in a bit of a bind.

961
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,920
This is an official request.

962
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,240
I'm formally calling upon
the special services of...

963
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:02,920
IVAN: I'll call you back,
Gustave.

964
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,800
Right. Stand by.

965
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,480
I beg your pardon.
Do you prefer to walk?

966
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,600
We're right here.
It's very simple.

967
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,840
Straight down the corniche,
then left.

968
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,400
Jojo, see the gentleman out.

969
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,200
Get me Monsieur Georges
at the Château Luxe, please.

970
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,400
Happy birthday to you

971
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:26,680
Take over.

972
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,200
Happy birthday, dear...

973
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:29,600
GEORGES: Hello, Ivan?

974
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:33,600
Got it.

975
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,600
Get me Monsieur Dino at the
Palazzo Principessa, please.

976
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,680
Higher, goddammit, higher!

977
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,280
Take over.

978
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,400
DINO: Monsieur Georges.
Higher.

979
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,400
I see. Straightaway.

980
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,480
Get me Monsieur Robin at
I'Hôtel Côte du Cap, please.

981
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,800
...and two and three.

982
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,200
Monsieur Robin. There's a call
from Monsieur Dino for you.

983
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,440
Take over.

984
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,120
One, two, three.

985
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,560
ROBIN: Yes, Dino.

986
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,800
Yes, Dino. Okay, Dino.

987
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,400
Get me Monsieur Martin
at the Ritz Imperial, please.

988
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,000
Too much salt.

989
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,680
Not enough pepper-

990
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,280
Take over.

991
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,400
Robin? Martin.
Too much salt.

992
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,640
So I've heard.

993
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,920
Maybe.
Let me make a few calls.

994
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,520
Serge X, missing.
Deputy Kovacs, also missing.

995
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,520
Madame D, dead. Boy with
 Apple, stolen, by us.

996
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,160
Dmitri and Jopling, ruthless,
cold-blooded savages.

997
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,600
Gustave H, at large.
What else?

998
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,120
Zero, confused.

999
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:53,520
Zero, confused, indeed.

1000
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,840
The plot "thickens,"
as they say.

1001
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,680
Why, by the way?
Is it a soup metaphor?

1002
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,960
I don't know.

1003
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,360
Get in.

1004
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,120
IVAN: We found the butler.

1005
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,120
He's hiding out in the remote
foothills near Gabelmeister's Peak.

1006
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,480
Our contact convinced him
to meet you midday tomorrow

1007
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,400
at the observatory
on the summit.

1008
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,560
Tell no one.
He'll explain everything.

1009
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,840
Your train departs
in four and a half minutes.

1010
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:24,480
Here's your tickets.

1011
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:25,720
Third class?

1012
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:26,880
It was overbooked

1013
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,720
but the conductor used to be a
sommelier at the old Versailles.

1014
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:32,400
He pulled some strings.

1015
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,360
You'll need these
for the dining car.

1016
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,240
One last thing.

1017
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,920
L'air de Panache.

1018
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,560
They only had
the half-ounce.

1019
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,880
We should give him something
as a symbolic gesture.

1020
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,320
How much money you got? 42
Klubecks and 3 postage stamps.

1021
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,560
Give me 25. Yes.

1022
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:03,640
Bless you.

1023
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:05,160
Please.

1024
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:22,640
JOPLING: I've got
to hand it to him.

1025
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:23,720
DMITRI ON PHONE:
Jesus Christ.

1026
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,640
JOPLING: I didn't see that coming.
Well, what do you want next?

1027
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:33,120
DMITRI: Talk to the club-footed sister
again, and, this time, be persuasive.

1028
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,400
DMITRI: Goddamn
son of a bitch.

1029
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,840
What's the meaning
of this shit?

1030
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,640
Boy with Apple?
I thought you'd hidden it.

1031
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,160
Why are you only noticing now? I
assumed it went to the tax appraiser.

1032
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,800
Are you ****ing
kidding me?

1033
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,160
CLOTILDE: Excusez-moi.

1034
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,480
I believe it was removed
by Monsieur Gustave.

1035
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:35,440
I'm not angry with Serge.

1036
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,120
You can't blame someone for their
basic lack of moral fiber.

1037
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,280
He's a frightened, little,
yellow-bellied coward.

1038
01:09:40,480 --> 01:09:42,480
It's not his fault, is it?
I don't know. It depends.

1039
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,280
Well, you can say that
about most anything.

1040
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:45,760
"It depends."
Of course it depends.

1041
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,480
Of course it depends.
Of course it depends.

1042
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,840
Yes, I suppose you're right.
Of course it depends.

1043
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,480
That doesn't mean I'm not going
to throttle the little swamp rat.

1044
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,280
May I officiate, by the way?
The ceremony?

1045
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:01,520
With pleasure.

1046
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,280
I must say, I find that
girl utterly delightful.

1047
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,000
Flat as a board,
enormous birthmark

1048
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,000
the shape of Mexico
over half her face,

1049
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,360
sweating for hours on end
in that sweltering kitchen

1050
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:11,920
while Mendl,
genius though he is,

1051
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,680
looms over her like
a hulking gorilla.

1052
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,120
Yet without question,
without fail,

1053
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,520
always and invariably,
she's exceedingly lovely.

1054
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,400
Why?

1055
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,840
Because of her purity.

1056
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,200
She admires you as well,
Monsieur Gustave.

1057
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:29,680
Does she?

1058
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,120
Very much.

1059
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,120
That's a good sign, you know.
It means she "gets it."

1060
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,320
That's important.

1061
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,800
Don't flirt
with her.

1062
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,800
LIEUTENANT: A radio telegram was delivered
and signed for by the girl at 4:00 AM.

1063
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,920
The envelope was found near the body,
but its contents were missing.

1064
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,000
However, the telegraph
office always keeps

1065
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:37,840
a carbon of the ticker tape
for 24 hours.

1066
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,280
I copied it down.
It reads as follows,

1067
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:42,440
"Pack your things stop.

1068
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:44,760
"Be ready to leave
at moment's notice stop.

1069
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,400
"Hide-out is vicinity
of Gabelmeister's Peak stop.

1070
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,400
"Destroy this message
all my love full stop."

1071
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,920
Where's the basket?

1072
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,240
PUMP ATTENDANT:
Where you headed, mister?

1073
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,280
Skiing? Sledding?
Mountain climbing?

1074
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,960
Three Klubecks.

1075
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:49,840
MR. MOUSTAFA: By express
wireless, I wrote Agatha

1076
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,840
with instructions to move
to our pre-arranged hideout,

1077
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,520
a Gypsy caravan
on the outer Nebelsbad road,

1078
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,520
while Monsieur Gustave
and I continued east

1079
01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,120
into the Zubrowkian Alps,

1080
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,120
toward our high-altitude rendezvous
with the butler Serge X.

1081
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,320
As a precaution,
we disembarked quietly

1082
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,960
in the freight yard
just outside the station.

1083
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,360
L'air de Panache.

1084
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,280
It's a hell of a view. I give
them that, for what's it's worth.

1085
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,520
I agree.

1086
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,400
"'Tis oft'-remarked, no single,
falling-flake does any other

1087
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,840
"in its pure and perfect
form..." Somebody's coming.

1088
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,560
Are you Monsieur Gustave of the
Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad?

1089
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,400
Uh-huh.

1090
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:01,400
Get on the next cable car.

1091
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,360
Are you Monsieur Gustave of the
Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad?

1092
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:45,560
Uh-huh.

1093
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:46,720
Switch with me.

1094
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,000
Are you Monsieur Gustave of the
Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad?

1095
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:20,560
Uh-huh.

1096
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,000
Put these on and sing.

1097
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:48,960
MONK: Psst.

1098
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:51,320
Are you Monsieur
Gustave of the...

1099
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:52,600
Yes, dammit.

1100
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:53,800
Confess.

1101
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:55,800
I'm innocent.

1102
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:57,840
Hmm? No, no.

1103
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,400
Forgive me, Monsieur Gustave.
I never meant to betray you.

1104
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:11,640
They threatened
my life and now

1105
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,160
they've murdered
my only family.

1106
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:14,960
No. Who did they
kill this time?

1107
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:16,280
My dear sister.

1108
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:17,560
The girl with
the club foot?

1109
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,120
Yes.
Those ****ers!

1110
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,720
I tried to warn you
at the beginning.

1111
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,400
I know, darling.
Let's put that behind us.

1112
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,400
Listen, I hate to
put you on the spot,

1113
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:25,640
but I really must ask
you to clear my name.

1114
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,880
Obviously you're grieving...
There's more.

1115
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:30,480
To the story.
I get it. Go on.

1116
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,680
I was the official witness
in Madame D's presence

1117
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,480
to the creation
of a second will

1118
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,720
to be executed only in the
event of her death by murder.

1119
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,400
A second will?
Right.

1120
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,200
In case she got bumped off?
Right.

1121
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,840
Uh-huh?
But they destroyed it.

1122
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:44,480
Oh, dear.
However...

1123
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,200
Uh-huh?
I pulled a copy.

1124
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,520
A second copy of
the second will?

1125
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,400
Right.
Uh-huh?

1126
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,800
What does it say? Where is it?
What's it all about, dammit?

1127
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,240
Don't keep us in suspense.

1128
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,400
This has been a complete
****ing nightmare.

1129
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,680
Just tell us what
the **** is going on!

1130
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:03,920
Serge?

1131
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:05,720
Serge? Serge!

1132
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,120
Bloody hell. They've
strangled the poor slob.

1133
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:41,800
Come on! Let's go!

1134
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:50,800
ZERO: What do we do
if we catch him?

1135
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:51,280
GUSTAVE H: I don't know.

1136
01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:53,760
He's a homicidal psychopath.
Let's stop.

1137
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,240
I can't. I can barely steer.

1138
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,680
You sick, pathetic creep.
I hate you.

1139
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,800
"'If this do be me end,
farewell!'

1140
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,240
"cried the wounded piper-boy,

1141
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:26,960
"whilst the muskets cracked

1142
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:28,400
"and the yeomen
roared 'Hurrah!'

1143
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:29,720
"And the ramparts fell.

1144
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:35,000
"'Methinks me breathes me
last, me fears!' said he..."

1145
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,800
Holy shit! You got him!

1146
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,240
Well done, Zero!

1147
01:19:50,440 --> 01:19:52,760
Gustave H! You are
a fugitive from justice!

1148
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,600
Surrender lawfully and
I will personally vouchsafe

1149
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:56,880
your fair treatment.

1150
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,560
Do not attempt to flee!

1151
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:00,280
ZERO: What do you think?
I don't know.

1152
01:20:00,440 --> 01:20:01,840
I'd rather jump off
this cliff right now

1153
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,360
than go back to
****ing prison.

1154
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,960
I say we steal that sick maniac's
motorcycle, go fetch Agatha,

1155
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:07,240
take back Boy with Apple

1156
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:08,960
and head for the Maltese
Riviera, once and for all.

1157
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,960
Very good! You're so extraordinary, Zero.
Thank you.

1158
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,600
A moment of silence in
memoriam of a devoted servant

1159
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,560
killed violently during
the conduct of his duties.

1160
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,560
Goodbye, Serge.

1161
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,400
Okay, let's go.

1162
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,640
MR. MOUSTAFA:
The war began at midnight.

1163
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,320
Pffeifelstad fell by lunch
under heavy shelling,

1164
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,840
and 10 battalions surged across
the long western border.

1165
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:48,840
High-command
advanced to Nebelsbad.

1166
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,720
Compliments of Herr Mendl,
for the executive staff.

1167
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,000
CHUCK: General Stieglitz requests a garden-view
sitting room with an extra roll-away.

1168
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,160
Let's put him in
the Duke Leopold Suite.

1169
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,400
Secretary Woroniecki's
office cabled.

1170
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,840
He's checking in a day early.
Rooms 401 -2-3.

1171
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,680
Tell Tactical Logistics
we're moving them

1172
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,400
to a standard double
on the third floor.

1173
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,440
They'll need more
space than that.

1174
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:52,200
GUSTAVE H: The beginning of the end of
the end of the beginning has begun.

1175
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,440
A sad finale played off-key
on a broken-down saloon piano

1176
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,200
in the outskirts of
a forgotten ghost town.

1177
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,400
I'd rather not bear witness
to such blasphemy.

1178
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:01,600
Me neither.

1179
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,120
The Grand Budapest
has become a troops' barracks.

1180
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,760
I shall never cross its
threshold again in my lifetime.

1181
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,480
Me neither.
Never again shall I...

1182
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,720
Actually, I think we might be going
in there right now after all.

1183
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:15,000
Dmitri.

1184
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:19,640
Agatha.

1185
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,480
Good evening, Mr. Desgoffe und Taxis.
I'm Monsieur Chuck.

1186
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,920
We've booked you and your sisters
into the King Ferdinand Suite.

1187
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,800
Good evening. General von
Shrecker asked me...

1188
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:39,600
Who's that?

1189
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,800
I beg your pardon?

1190
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,000
I think that girl's
got my picture. Excuse me.

1191
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:02,600
AGATHA: Six.
DMITRI: Hold it.

1192
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:06,840
DMITRI: Six.

1193
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:11,800
Compliments of Herr Mendl.

1194
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:28,960
GUSTAVE H: Excuse me.

1195
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,240
Have you seen a pastry girl
with a package under her arm

1196
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:32,560
in the last minute
and a half?

1197
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,160
Yep. She just got on the elevator
with Mr. Desgoffe und Taxis.

1198
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,520
Thank you.

1199
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,160
I'm sorry.
Who are you?

1200
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:40,960
Otto, sir,
the new Lobby Boy.

1201
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:42,640
You haven't been
trained properly.

1202
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,000
A Lobby Boy never provides
information of that kind.

1203
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,160
You're a stone wall.
Understood?

1204
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,600
Pretty picture.

1205
01:24:06,440 --> 01:24:07,440
Sixth floor.

1206
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:52,920
Where's Boy with Apple?

1207
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,160
None of your goddamn business!

1208
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,600
I'm going to blast your candy-ass
once and for all right now.

1209
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:11,640
Drop your weapon!

1210
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,760
Cease fire! Cease fire! Whoa!

1211
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:37,320
Stop it!

1212
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,120
Who's shooting who?

1213
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,760
That's Gustave H! The escaped
murderer and art thief.

1214
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,160
I've got him cornered!

1215
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:44,760
That's Dmitri
Desgoffe und Taxis!

1216
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,000
He's responsible for the
killing of Deputy Kovacs,

1217
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,400
Serge X and his club-footed
sister, plus his own mother!

1218
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:53,800
Nobody move.
Everybody's under arrest.

1219
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,440
Who's out the window?

1220
01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,640
Agatha!

1221
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:06,840
310-bis.

1222
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:08,280
Hang on! Here I come!

1223
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:34,760
AGATHA: Something's
on the back of the...

1224
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,160
Agatha!

1225
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,400
Agatha!

1226
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,240
Are you all right?
I think so.

1227
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,880
Something's on
the back of the picture.

1228
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,280
MR. MOUSTAFA:
She left everything

1229
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,800
to Monsieur Gustave,
of course.

1230
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,360
The mansion,
known as Schloss Lutz,

1231
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,960
the factories, which produced
weapons, medicine and textiles,

1232
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:19,600
an important
newspaper syndicate,

1233
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,800
and perhaps
you've already deduced

1234
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:29,800
this very institution,
the Grand Budapest Hotel.

1235
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:30,920
He anointed me his successor,

1236
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:34,400
and as the war continued,
I served my adopted country

1237
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,440
from the narrow desk still found
against the wall in the next room.

1238
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,960
He was the same
as his disciples,

1239
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:44,560
insecure, vain,
superficial, blond, needy.

1240
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,600
In the end he was even rich.

1241
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,160
He did not succeed, however,
in growing old.

1242
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:58,800
"Dearly beloved,
we are gathered together..."

1243
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,840
MR. MOUSTAFA:
Nor did my darling Agatha.

1244
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,320
She and our infant son would
be killed two years later

1245
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,440
by the Prussian grippe.
An absurd little disease.

1246
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,160
Today we treat it
in a single week,

1247
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,840
but, in those days
many millions died.

1248
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:16,960
On the 21st day
of the occupation,

1249
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,920
the morning the independent
state of Zubrowka

1250
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,280
officially ceased to exist,

1251
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:23,440
we traveled with
Monsieur Gustave to Lutz.

1252
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,840
In answer to your earlier
question, by the way,

1253
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:27,960
of course.

1254
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,600
Zero asked me about my humble
beginnings in the hotel trade.

1255
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,120
I was, perhaps, for a time,
considered the best Lobby Boy

1256
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,720
we'd ever had at
the Grand Budapest.

1257
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:39,360
I think I can say that.

1258
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,440
This one finally
surpassed me.

1259
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,640
Although, I must say,
he had an exceptional teacher.

1260
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:45,960
Truly.

1261
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,160
"Whence came these two
radiant, celestial brothers,

1262
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:55,680
"united, for an instant,

1263
01:28:55,880 --> 01:29:00,160
"as they crossed the stratosphere
of our starry window?

1264
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,160
"One from the East
and one from the West."

1265
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,800
Very good.

1266
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,320
Don't flirt with her.

1267
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,920
Why are we stopping
at a barley field again?

1268
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,360
I find these black
uniforms very drab.

1269
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,160
Well, hello there, chaps.

1270
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:30,840
We were just
talking about you.

1271
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:32,880
Documents, please.

1272
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,840
With pleasure,
as always.

1273
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,400
You're the first of
the official death squads

1274
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,520
to whom we've been
formally introduced.

1275
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:45,680
How do you do?

1276
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,920
Plus ça change, am I right?

1277
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,800
Uh, that's a migratory visa with
stage three worker status, darling.

1278
01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:58,400
Read this.

1279
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:08,720
SOLDIER: Come outside.

1280
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,200
GUSTAVE H: Now, stay there.

1281
01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:14,720
I give you my word, if you
lay a finger on this man,

1282
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,800
I'll see you
dishonorably discharged,

1283
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,400
locked up in the stockade
and hanged by sundown.

1284
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:23,560
MR. MOUSTAFA: There are still
faint glimmers of civilization

1285
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,880
left in this
barbaric slaughterhouse

1286
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,120
that was once
known as humanity.

1287
01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:34,760
You filthy, goddamn,
pock-marked, fascist assholes!

1288
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:38,560
MR. MOUSTAFA:
He was one of them.

1289
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:40,680
What more is there to say?

1290
01:30:48,440 --> 01:30:51,800
What happened
in the end?

1291
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,280
In the end
they shot him.

1292
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,800
So it all
went to me.

1293
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,200
YOUNG WRITER: After dinner, we went
to collect the keys to our rooms,

1294
01:31:09,440 --> 01:31:11,280
but Monsieur Jean
had abandoned his post.

1295
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:13,600
I expect he's forgotten
all about us.

1296
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:14,960
YOUNG WRITER:
In recent years, of course,

1297
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,360
such properties and holdings
as the Grand Budapest

1298
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,200
had with very few exceptions
become common property.

1299
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,200
While the precise terms
of his negotiation

1300
01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:26,320
with the new government
had never been announced,

1301
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:27,720
the result was an open secret,

1302
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,320
Zero Moustafa had traded
a great and important fortune

1303
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:35,840
in exchange for one costly,
unprofitable, doomed hotel.

1304
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:37,880
Why?

1305
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,160
Was it merely sentimental?

1306
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,120
It was quite forward of me
and a bit out of character,

1307
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,160
but I felt I must know,

1308
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,400
for my health, I suppose.

1309
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,200
Forgive me for asking.
I hope I haven't upset you.

1310
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,400
No, of course not.

1311
01:31:56,480 --> 01:31:59,320
Is it simply your last connection
to that vanished world,

1312
01:31:59,480 --> 01:32:01,840
his world,
if you will?

1313
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:03,760
His world?

1314
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,000
No, I don't think so.

1315
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,240
You see,
we shared a vocation.

1316
01:32:09,480 --> 01:32:11,200
It wouldn't have
been necessary.

1317
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:16,800
No. The hotel
I keep for Agatha.

1318
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:18,840
We were happy here.

1319
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:21,400
For a little while.

1320
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,680
To be frank, I think
his world had vanished

1321
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:30,760
long before
he ever entered it.

1322
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,560
But, I will say,

1323
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:36,280
he certainly sustained the
illusion with a marvelous grace.

1324
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,800
Are you going up? No, I'll
sit for a little while.

1325
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,800
Good night.

1326
01:32:47,440 --> 01:32:48,520
YOUNG WRITER:
The next week,

1327
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:50,960
I sailed for a cure
in South America

1328
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,800
and began a long,
wandering journey abroad.

1329
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,880
I did not return to
Europe for many years.

1330
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,400
It was an enchanting old ruin.

1331
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,880
AUTHOR: But I never
managed to see it again.
