A scene from Grand Hotel 1932
Baron

You're so beautiful. It tore my heart to see you in despair like that...Please don't cry any more...I'd no idea you were so beautiful. I'd like to take you in my arms, and not let anything happen to you, ever...I've never seen anything in my life as beautiful as you are....

Grusinskaya

[getting up]

You must go now.

Baron

I'm not going. You know I'm not going. Oh, please let me stay.

Grusinskaya

But I want to be alone.

Baron

That isn't true. You don't want to be alone. You were in despair just now. I can't leave you now. You, you musn't cry any more. You must forget. Let me stay just for a little while. Ah, please let me stay.

Grusinskaya

For just a minute, then.
