 2         Q    And do you remember -- you remember being in the
 3    DB lounge?

 4              THE COURT:  What is that?

 5         A    Yes.

 6              THE COURT:  What is a DB lounge?

 7              MR. WEINBERG:  It is a bar of some sort.

 8    BY MR. WEINBERG:

 9         Q    Correct?

10         A    We were at a train station in Leipzig, and there
11    was a bar called the DB Bar, which we thought was amusing
12    because DB means something very specific in Scientology, it
13    means degraded being.

14         Q    And you were there with Ms. Caberta, we heard
15    about, the German government official that works against
16    Scientology, right?

17         A    Correct.

18              MR. WEINBERG:  I'll play this clip here.  This
19         is something turned over to us by the Lisa McPherson
20         Trust.

                                                              647
 1         straight from the DB Lounge in Leipzig, Germany.

 2              "I'm not going to call this guy DM anymore.

 3         Remember what my new name for David Miscavige is,
 4         the former ecclesiastical leader of the Church of
 5         Scientology.

 6              "I know this is going on camera.

 7              "I know, but what did I say -- (inaudible).

 8              "Yes -- yes, this is -- this is a toast to
 9         David Miscavige, also known as Pope David I, from
10         the DB lounge in Leipzig, Germany.  Up, up, up and
11         away.

12              "Now, Ursula.

13              "Hi, Mr. Miscavige.  We did a great work here
14         in Germany.  And we will finish Scientology soon.

15              "This is to you, Miscavige.  We are so thankful
16         that you give us reason to live.  Salute.

17              "Pope David I.  Cheers.

18              "Cheers.

19              "Just some DBs hanging out here.

20              "David I.

21              (Inaudible.)

22              "This is to David Miscavige in the DB Lounge in
23         Leipzig, Germany at the train station.

24              "Pope David I.

25              "Cheers, Miscavige.

                                                              648

 3              "Listen, listen, just --
 4              "No, just stop here now.  Now listen.

 5              "We all know in Grady's deposition, when Grady
 6         was deposing David Miscavige, that he went ballistic
 7         over the thought of Graham --
 8              "Now --
 9              "-- of Graham Berry spending time --"

13         Q    Does that bring back memories, Mr. Prince?

14         A    Yes.

15         Q    And you think that is funny?

16         A    Well, what I think you have is a home video of our
17    trip in Europe that was never made public -- Mmm -- to
18    anyone.  And we were just having fun.  Yes, I do think it
19    was funny.  We were just having fun at the train station.

20         Q    Does that man, Mr. Minton, look like the most
21    harassed person on the face of the earth?

22         A    He does, to me.

23         Q    And when Ms. Caberta, the German official who
24    has -- who flew over here and who is working against
25    Scientology, when she said, "We're going to finish
                                                              649
 1    Scientology," she was talking about getting rid of it,
 2    wasn't she?

 3         A    No.  I think she was specifically talking about
 4    Scientology isn't viewed as a religion in Germany.

 5    Scientology is viewed as a political group.  The reason
 6    Scientology is viewed as a political group --
 7              THE COURT:  I don't need to know that.

 8              THE WITNESS:  Okay.

 9              THE COURT:  I don't need to know, care, what is
10         going on in Germany.

11              THE WITNESS:  Okay.
