M35 “Blue Sky”
The club is full of gentleman in tuxedos and ladies in fashionable 30s gowns. The gentleman are dancing a tango, and Francis appears to help them finish it.
Helga: Wilkommen! Welcome once more this evening to Club Rosenkreuz! It’s the time to make requests that you’ve all been waiting for. We will begin with the desired songs. The club’s employees will partner the single ladies.
Francis draws her aside after she finishes her speech.
Francis: I’ve rescued someone. I’ll bring him to the waiting room.
Helga: Understood.
Hans: Is it all right?
Francis: Wait until midnight.
They draw him aside and into the back rooms. Meanwhile, a spoiled young girl is trying to pull a young man and his partner apart.
Louise: Emile! Don’t dance with this old lady! Come and dance with me!
Lady: My! How rude!
Emile: Louise, I have a prior engagement with this lady.
Louise: Are you getting rid of me?
Emile: I’m not getting rid of your or anything, you’re one of my important customers, that’s all.
Louise: My father is Nazi SS staff! If you treat me badly, do you know what could happen to you? To this club?
A grizzled man with a long scar down his cheek steps forward.
Lehm: This club is used by us SA officers.
Louise: Commander Lehm….
Lehm: This isn’t a place where those green SS come.
Louise: So it seems this is a club the rogue SA like!
Lehm: Why you-!
Emile: Louise, won’t you go home for tonight?
Louise: I’ll remember this!
The girl stomps off in a fit of anger.
Helga: Everyone, please pay her no mind. The request is “Tango Nocturno”.
M36 “Tango of the Night”
Helga: Commander, the marquis is here as well.
Francis: I’m in good health… I’d like to say, but….
Lehm: Damnation. We SA are trying to support Nazi Germany, but lately the SS has come trespassing in our domain and it’s causing trouble.
Francis: But, in society don’t you have a reputation for your appointment as the next Minister of National Defense, in charge of the entire military?
Lehm: If Adolf has his way with his opposition, I wonder if it will still become reality?
Francis: Adolf, almost no one in this world actually calls him Chancellor Hitler.
Lehm: In that last World War, I served as a captain in the army, Adolph was a corporal. And now our places are reversed.
Helga: When you become minister, let’s reserve a night to celebrate.
Lehm: Hey, don’t jump the gun!
A uniformed soldier interrupts them.
Klaus: Sir! Another vampire incident.
Lehm: What?!
Klaus: A soldier was chasing an escaping Jew when he was attacked by something.
Lehm: Drained dry of blood again?
Klaus: Yes, sir.
Lehm: Damnation. It feels as if he’s targeting the SA.
Francis: A frightening tale.
Lehm: What, this? If there really is a vampire, we’ve been ordered by the chancellor to capture him alive and discover the secret of eternal life. I’ll introduce you. This is Dr. Schmitt, professor of biology.
Doctor: Pleased to meet you. I am in charge of the Nazi experiments on living bodies. For the future of a better human race.
Helga: Well then, let’s have a toast for the future of humanity and the SA.
Francis notices a rather pale, thin woman dancing in the crowd.
Francis: Who is that?
Helga: She calls herself the Baroness de Frazzo.
Francis cuts in and dances with the “baroness”.
Francis: I recognize that amethyst rose.
Frazzo: It was a present.
Francis: From whom?
Frazzo: If you want to meet, I’ll carry a message.
Francis: Tell your admirer I would like to meet.
Frazzo: Understood.
Suddenly a group of young women in rather silly uniforms begin performing a song and dance.
M37 “Be a General”
Paula:
To be a general, you must start as a private
No matter how great the general, everyone begins…
Shoulder your gun! One! Two!
Every day One! Two!
To be a general, you must start as a private
Klaus: Here you go, the real thing!
Girls:
Everyone loves a cheerful soldier
But the cutest of all is the private
The private is the egg that will be a great general
How great of a general he will become!
The soldier Klaus tries to get fresh with Paula, switching his hat with hers, and she shoves him away. He moves as if to strike her. Her brother tries to stop him, but gets held back.
Klaus: Aren’t you happy? Hm, girly?
Paula: Stop it!
Emile: Paula!
Klaus: You-!
Nothing stops Francis, however.
Francis: Paula is my woman. You can look, but don’t touch her.
Klaus: What!?
Francis plants a solid punch on Klaus’s nose. Paula continues, obviously seething with anger, and she shoves the hat at the commander’s stomach before storming away.
Paula:
Even though he’s a COMMANDER… he’s still human
M38 “Be a General” (chaser)
?: Hey. Hey!
Emile: Paula!
Helga: I’m sorry. Paula is an impertinent child.
Francis: Commander, I’ll leave your man’s discipline to you.
Francis exits.
Lehm: Russian exile! Here the SA is the aristocracy! Remember that! (He lowers his voice and turns to Klaus.) Hey, Klaus, you’ve a bad head for alcohol. That’s why we get called the band of rogues.
Klaus: Yes, sir.
Helga: Now, let’s drink and make peace. This way…
Klaus: Commander, I’m sorry.
