what Katia wrote to her son Golo about it afterwards was that the beef had been excellent and that probably means Nelly was fucking a butcher.

It was her fifth attempt. (...) The last but one attempt had already nearly succeeded. (...) This last year was misery and horror. (...)I've never been near to a more guiltless sufferer. (...) Persons who don't know anything keep hinting at me that it is better this way. No.. To return to places where I was with her and not to bring her along? I hardly leave my apartment, for it has been hers.
:(((((((
Btw, thing which I don't think the bits on YouTube show is the clever way the tv version goes about using the running gag about Brecht's appearances.
