The Virtuous One

00:00:08 Dicky is virtuous

00:00:10 Direction: Lau Lauritzen

00:00:10 Merchant Speckig, who at his home carries the pretty name of Dicky, is waiting in vain for his wife again.

00:01:05 Angelika Speckig is meanwhile having her picture painted as a birthday surprise for her husband

00:01:13 by the poor, but honest painter Fleckmann, who lives on the 6th floor of their house.

00:01:54 for then I would have seen you through the judas hole.

00:02:00 So you must have flown through the air with a handsome pilot."

00:02:47 Fleckmann shares his workplace with the sculptor Ras Rubbelkopf, who is just as poor but more temperamental.

00:03:02 "Either you cough up the dough, or I go on strike!"

00:03:27 "One of you must pawn his clothes! Then we can eat today, and tomorrow the gods will take pity on us!"

00:04:42 Johanna will now no longer walk in you, Johanna says fare well.

00:04:58 "Bring the painter on the 6th floor this letter, but don't tell any tales!"

00:05:25 I must speak to you today to agree on a way to finish the statue without arousing suspicion.

00:05:36 Await me at the entrance of the Public Parc, Angelika Speckig

00:06:27 "No, no mr. Speckig, and even if you eye me like that... I'm silent as the grave!"

00:07:25 "Well, but if the mr. must know, I was upstairs with the painter with a letter from the lady!"

00:07:37 "Wait, I'll show this brushsweeper!"

00:09:07 "Help! Help! I'm not the one who. Get a hold of my colleague Fleckmann, who is idling in the Public Park right now."

00:10:11 "What a delightful, classic profile you have! The real Appollo Belvedere!"

00:10:51 That is the role, for which just you alone were created!"

00:12:29 "First I must draw a sketch of your noble naked self, so look cheerful!"

00:15:30 "Oh, what a classic profile you have, the real Apollo Belvedere!"

00:16:13 "Mr. Speckig is sitting at home as the Apollo Belvedere in the attic and harasses our little model."

00:18:45 "Always dear, dear miss, how can one lose control like that!
