A night of fining sailors to take back home.
Their state of being
The script doesn't tell you. However in Act one Scene seven Fraulein Schnieder had a argument with Fraulein Kost before and explains that she can't bring anymore sailors in her flat. Kost then tells Schnider that she can't pay for the rent if that happens. Schneider then gave her the ultimatum of 'make sure I don't see any sailors' as she needs the money. So in the scene she's on the look out, then tests Schnieder anyway by saying 'I know it by heart already!'
The scene before
It had musical queues such as 'Money Money' and 'Sitting Pretty' which Emcee and the Kit Kat girls. Which shows the musical numbers- money makes the world go around, the depression and desperate measures people are going through for money. 'Sitting Pretty is a song about when there are hard times and some people are starving, others are doing better off as they are selling love.
Sitting Pretty' is sung by the Emcee when Cliff makes a dubious moral decision about how he's going to earn money and suggests that the reason the Emcee is 'sitting pretty' while the rest of his family starve is because he offers love for sale. Much of the song is in a rapid patter style, followed by a dance as cabaret girls dressed as various national currencies parade across the stage.- http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ptop/plain/A3724940
