    Priceless! The cigarette too. And just meters from the still bombed-out Staatsoper. Thanks, Norman.

    No, what he says at the end is “Schauen Sie sich bitte etwas anderes an” – please watch something else.

  • Brettermeier says:

    “‘She has gone off to Stuttgart…’”

    Erm, no. He said: “Sie ist noch nicht da. Sie ist in Stuttgart weggefahren, das wissen wir. […] Wir hoffen, dass sie’s noch schafft.”

    That’s “She not here yet. She left Stuttgart, that’s what we know. […] We hope she can make it.”
