00:00:09 E. A. WINTERSTEIN, FIRE EXTINGUISHER
00:00:13 as a sovereign person
00:00:22 When a store in Brussels burned down, he could not be found.
00:00:28 His belly was slit open by crafty devils. And there he was.
00:00:39 All the beauty in the world was of no use to him now.
00:01:32 but only operas, to the value of 60 motorised divisions.
00:03:35 He directed his jet of water at those aggressive flames.
00:03:42 More than he was needed, many were active on the other side. Many said:
00:03:53 I'm about to squirt water at you all. To which they replied:
00:04:00 So poor Winterstein had to pay.
00:04:06 his jet at it whilst his skin peeled.

00:05:28 that it turns into humanity.
00:07:29 Winterstein learns to use it.
00:07:39 Winterstein's brain is of no use now. But at least he tried.
00:07:50 The German public admires his daredevil in 'Jekyll and Hyde'
00:07:56 Hepburn's partner in 'Adam's Rib' and 'Woman of the Year'.
00:08:53 He took his leave unobtrusively and in seclusion.
