• [at night in Konstanze's bedroom] 

  [Konstanze preparing the sofa for Georg to stay overnight, then switching off the light] 

  [Georg Rentmeister standing at the closed door in the room only lit by the full moon] 

  Konstanze : Switch on the light when I give you permission. Not before! Do you read me?

  Georg Rentmeister : Naturally, I'm listening. My ears do work in the dark. Only seeing is difficult.

  [Constanze sitting in the dark on her bed, undressing, preparing for sleep] 

  Konstanze : Georg?

  Georg Rentmeister : Yes.

  Konstanze : I will count to three... One... two...

  Franz-Xaver von Raitenau : [outside in the corridor]  Constanze? Are you asleep?

  Konstanze : No, Franzl. But I just turned off the light. Sleep well!

  Franz-Xaver von Raitenau : You too! Sweet dreams!

  Konstanze : Georg?

  Georg Rentmeister : Yes.

  Konstanze : I think it's better you don't turn on the light anymore.

  [the full moon is covered by clouds, turning the room in total darkness] 

  Georg Rentmeister : I think so, too. But how do I find my sofa?

  Konstanze : Please, take three steps ahead... two steps half right... and now one big step right

  Georg Rentmeister : At your orders... oops!

  [the full moon appears again, the camera panning to the empty sofa lit by the full moon]
