"All night I've worked on
that damned explodigger."
"This fusion of digger and
explosive machine is amazing!"
"You are a genius with
machines, Hartmann!"
"Oh... I have had enough of this
den of machines, really enough."
"But without this den,
y o u could not live!
"No, no... I must breathe air again,
Wiesen... See woods, feel nature."
Closed for meeting.
"Forgive me, mr. director...
a most important affair!"
"Engineer Hartmann must come!"
"With this new explodigger
we could dig up the largest
coal deposits right away!"
Meeting room
"Think of your future!"
"Excellent work! Start with
construction straight away!"
"I must unwind... I can't
look at another machine!"
"Hartmann!"
"That is completely impossible now!"
"The man is overworked!"
"Then it will also
work without him!"
"Hello, Grandma!"
"You come just at the right time!"
"Nice, that you remember
your old home again!"
"I hope, that Hartmann
becomes reasonable again!"
"I trust highly in
your female diplomacy!"
"Where do I find engineer Hartmann?"
We hereby request you to return
to service by tomorrow afternoon
12 o'clock. Otherwise we're forced,
...to declare your termination without
notice and place the direction of the
diggerconstruction in other hands.
"I accept the dismissal."
"Lord... but that is brown coal!"
"You find that everywhere here!"
"I think, you don't know,
what this find means!"
"You don't understand our time.
Romance is dead. Technology lives."
"I only think of our luck!"
"They should deploy my digger here!"
"And what do you want here?"
"A nice surprise for miss Lossen!"
"Now you are back again,
where you belong!"
"I've... We have missed you much!"
"I had a real longing
for this damned machine!"
"A very idyllic place, this!"
Camilla von Einerm sells the estate
Nilsenhöh belonging to her with all
structures for a selling price of
RM 1,500,000.- (in words one million
five hundred thousand Reichsmark)
to the Amalgamated Caroline Factory Ltd.
"We offer you a very high price!"
"...certainly - - one
doesn't like to leave..."
The Town Meeting
had more understanding
for the director's proposal.
"Call for Town Meeting
concerning the offer from
the Caroline Factory..."
Town meeting
"Now they will soon be united."
"Who doesn't want to sell,
keeps his lands!"
"We offer all of you a price,
far above the worth!"
"Miss, take a telegram
please, urgent..."
"After forceless discussion concluded
sale of several farm lands."
The field died, the machine
triumphed over the plough.
"The coach!"
"Her ladyship asks for
an immediate visit."
"Camilla, you must understand
me: The machine is my world!"
"But my heart belongs to you!"
Director March, Nilsenhöh. Explodigger
reaches Nilsenhöh by goods train 187
near midnight. Olga Lossen.
"Finally we are ready!"
"The digger is coming!"
"Unfortunately, we must place
the detonation line for
the bust through the park!"
"You must give me time, I must
first get used to all of this!"
"We will see you tomorrow evening
at our engagement feast, won't we?"
"Excuse me please, duty calls!"
"Excuse me, duty calls!"
"I hope, mrs. Hartmann, that
you've now decided to sell too?"
"A nice, round sum, is what
we're offering you here!"
"We are living in a different age now!"
"I don't want to know of this age!"
"The Hartmanns have been on
this mill for 300 years! Here
I was born, here I want to die."
"No-one can stop the force
of the machines."
"I hope, you will yet
change your mind."
"I've just had a telephone message
from the workplace, that we
are stuck with the assembly."
"Hartmann should go
straight to work."
"The short interruption
really pains me..."
"Must you really go out?"
"Poor friend, you cannot even
get engaged uninterrupted!"
"The two of us have fallen to
the machine: It won't let us go!"
"The two of us belong together!"
"The mill is burning!"
"The digger is running!"
"We will proceed with the
detonations at once!"
"Prepare work in detonation area!"
"Mirror signal stand by!"
"Machine to
maximum revolutions!"
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"After the third horn signal,
commence detonation!"
Attention!
Detonation area!
Mortal danger!
"A terrible accident
has happened!"
Where once a few people idyllically
dreamed away their lives...
...now is raised a huge machination
of strange beauty, giving bread and
work to hundreds of thousands!
The end.
