Escape1940

Dr. Ditten:
When I was a boy, I lived in the country. I never saw a theater or went anywhere. And one day, my father went to the city and brought back a theater program with your photograph on it. I stole it. I kept it hidden in a bureau drawer.

Emmy Ritter:
Many young boys feel in love with me. Oh, many old ones too.

Dr. Ditten:
In the photograph you were dressed as St. Elizabeth, carrying a basket with loaves of bread and in your arms - roses.

Emmy Ritter:
I remember.

Dr. Ditten:
That's why you were important to me. In my hungry, empty world, you promised so much.

Emmy Ritter:
Bread for the hunger and roses for the emptiness. But, now I suppose you have a new picture in your bureau drawer. A new savior of your world. But his arms are full of guns.

Dr. Ditten:
Why not? Power is the only answer!
