"We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started" "Little Gidding" "After the game is before the game."" "S." "Herberger" "probably the most mysterious species on our planet." "A mystery of unanswered questions." "Who are we?" "Where do we come from?" "Where are we going?" "How do we know what we think we know?" "Why do we believe anything at all?" "and the next answer will give rise to the next question and so on." "isn't it always the same question?" "And always the same answer?" "The ball is round." "The game lasts 90 minutes." "That's a fact." "Everything else is pure theory." "Here we go!" "RUN LOLA RUN" "Manni?" "Lola." "What's up?" "Where are you?" "damn it?" "I got there too late." "But why today?" "You're always on time!" "My moped got ripped off." "It doesn't matter." "it matters!" "What's wrong?" "Manni." "I went to get some cigarettes." "I can't believe how fast that guy was." "There was nothing I could do." "He was gone before I got outside." "I even took a taxi." "too." "it was too late." "It just didn't occur to me." "I was so screwed up because of our moped." "you were gone." "It doesn't matter now anyway." "I'm done for." "Lola!" "I don't know what to do." "and I messed it up." "I blew it. I'm such a jerk!" "Just calm down." "Now what happened?" "okay?" "he's gonna kill me." "I'm gonna die." "Stop it!" "You're scaring me." "What's up?" "but that would've been something." "and those guys came." "and that was it." "Easy as pie." "and then they dropped me off out there." "and he was finished in no time." "except for you." "You weren't there." "Then what?" "Nothing." "Not even a phone booth." "so I walked to the subway station." "there was this bum" "and suddenly these inspectors showed up." "an old reflex." "The bag !" "The bag." "The bag !" "I'm such a fucking amateur!" "A dumbass!" "it wouldn't have happened." "I was so out of it." "You're always on time otherwise!" "Didn't you call the next station?" "Sure." "But it was too late." "The fucking bag was already gone." "And I know who has it." "That bum!" "That plastic-bag freak!" "He's on a plane to Florida or Hawaii or Canada or Hong Kong or Bermuda or whatever." "What about Ronnie?" "He'll kill me." "You gotta tell him." "Forget it!" "Why?" "He won't believe a single word." "I kept a carton of cigarettes once." "He noticed right away." "He doesn't believe anybody." "The jobs with those mercs was a kind of test to see if he could trust me." "in the bag?" "000." "What?" "shit!" "See!" "I knew you wouldn't come up with any idea." "I always said someday you wouldn't know what to do." "sooner!" "Love can do everything." "000 marks in 20 minutes." "20 minutes?" "Ronnie said." "Manni !" "No." "Why not?" "Nobody escapes Ronnie."

"I promise I'll come up with something." "okay?" "What the hell." "I'll go over to the Bolle and get that 100 grand." "Cut it out!" "so they must have 100 grand by noon." "You're nuts!" "Don't do a thing!" "Just stay in the damned booth!" "I'm coming." "That's it." "I'll rob the store." "Are you cracked?" "Don't do a thing !" "Stay put!" "I'm coming." "Then what?" "I'll think of something !" "In 20 minutes I'll be dead unless I steal the money!" "wait!" "What for?" "I'll get the money somehow." "I'm going in there at 12:00 if you aren't here." "Okay!" "Who?" "Who?" "Dad !" "are you going shopping?" "I need shampoo." "I knew that Sagittarius was your ascendant." "I don't know." "but you're married too." "Hey!" "Get your eyes open !" "You bitch." "AND THEN" "It's worst at night." "I wake up and can't fall asleep again." "And then I'm afraid." "Me!" "Afraid of the dark." "I've never been afraid of the dark." "I've never been afraid before." "But I think about us" "and I just think it'll keep going on like this." "And you wouldn't dare..." "And then I ask myself what I'm doing here." "all this damned lying?" "waiting for a man who won't stand by me?" "Hey!" "You need a bike?" "as good as new." "No." "I know that!" "It's not my fault it's so much money!" "500?" "What am I supposed to do with 500 marks?" "Thanks." "Your phone card !" "I have to go." "Meyer will be here in a minute." "Can we meet later on?" "Do you love me?" "What?" "Do you love me?" "Why are you asking now?" "Do you love me?" "damn it!" "Then decide." "But not now!" "You have to decide sometime." "at once?" "Because I'm pregnant." "Lola!" "What a rare pleasure." "let me in." "Little Miss wants to see Big Daddy?" "Sure thing." "Sorry." "do you want to have a baby with me?" "Yes." "Lola?" "Dad." "Your daughter?" "I'm Jutta Hansen from the board of directors." "Sorry to interrupt." "It's urgent." "It's okay." "I was just about to..." "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "Nothing." "if I tell you I need your help and you're the only one who can help me would you help me?" "You look terrible." "Would you help me?" "What happened?" "I can't explain now." "Would you help me?" "damn it?" "000 marks immediately." "What?" "or else..." "Or else what?" "Something terrible will happen !" "I don't understand." "What's going on here today?" "Dad !" "You gotta help me!" "Please!" "000 marks." "What about my life insurance?" "000." "Dad." "I'm serious." "This isn't a joke." "he'll die!" "Who'll die?" "Manni." "Who's Manni?" "for over a year!" "I don't even know him." "Why will he die?" "It doesn't matter!" "come with me." "Are you going to help me?" "Of course." "Go home and go to bed." "And tell your mother I won't be home today or tomorrow or ever again." "I'm leaving you guys and marrying another woman." "and I'll try to be happy because she wants me." "All you do is work." "You always play the boss." "but so what?" "You guys have no idea!" "the one to blame!" "not anymore!" "I'd never have fathered a weirdo like you." "I didn't!" "All I'm saying is you're a cuckoo's egg." "Now you know." "The guy who fathered you didn't live to see your birth." "please." "Come on !" "Get her out of here!" "we all have our bad days." "See you around." "My dear what's wrong?" "Do you have the time?" "This afternoon?" "forget it." "It's okay." "Yeah." "Wait!" "Don't do it!"

"Manni !" "where were you?" "I couldn't get here faster." "Will you help me?" "Can't we just get out of here?" "Not anymore." "You see the shit I'm in." "Why didn't you wait for me?" "I did." "You got here too late." "are you with me?" "Put your hands up!" "Fast!" "Come on !" "Drop your gun !" "Hurry up!" "Don't move." "The safety catch is on." "How does it work?" "The little lever on the side." "listen..." "Don't move." "Come here." "Cover me." "I'll grab the cash." "before the cops come." "Don't move!" "Manni?" "Do you love me?" "I do." "How can you be so sure?" "I don't know." "I just am." "I could be some other girl." "Why not?" "Because you're the best." "The best what?" "The best girl." "Of all the girls in the world?" "Sure." "How do you know?" "I just do." "You think so." "I think so." "You see?" "What?" "You aren't sure." "Are you nuts or what?" "What if you never met me?" "What do you mean?" "You'd be telling the same thing to someone else." "if you don't want to hear it." "I don't want to hear anything." "I want to know how you feel." "my feelings say that you're the best." "Who is "your feelings" anyway?" "It's me." "My heart." "Manni." "She's the one." "Exactly." "And you say" "Thanks for the information." "See you around." "Exactly." "And you do whatever your heart says?" "it really doesn't "say" anything." "I don't know." "It just feels." "So what does it feel now?" "That someone's asking rather stupid questions." "you aren't taking me seriously." "what's wrong?" "You want to leave me?" "I don't know." "I think I have to make a decision." "But I don't want to." "I don't want to leave." "Stop." "are you going shopping?" "I need shampoo." "I knew that Sagittarius was your ascendant." "I don't know." "but you're married too." "you stupid cow!" "Fucking bitch !" "Hey!" "You need a bike?" "No." "as good as new." "But it's stolen !" "500?" "What am I supposed to do with 500 marks?" "do you want to have a baby with me?" "Yes." "Even if it isn't from you?" "look at that." "Our little princess." "please!" "Let me in." "Courtesy and composure are the queen's jewels." "please." "A little anger is good for the heart the skin." "I don't care whether it was an accident or not!" "Great start for a new love!" "it wouldn't have happened." "I have a family!" "I can't leave a sick wife and three kids just to please Her Highness." "Your wife is drunk from morning to night!" "So what?" "What do you know?" "Don't you see you're bothering us?" "Lola?" "Dad." "Why didn't you knock?" "What's going on?" "What do you want?" "Is she your daughter?" "Shut the door." "What do you want?" "I need your help." "You see that I'm busy." "There's no other way." "Damn it!" "Why are you disturbing me right now?" "you understand?" "Who's that slut?" "That's none of your business!" "leave." "Go home." "Leave me alone." "I can't!" "Why not?" "I need money." "but I need the money now!" "just so you get out of here." "How much?" "no." "I need lots more." "lots more"?" "A whole lot more!" "barging in like this?" "Can't you see we're busy?" "you stupid cow!" "I have other problems." "Don't you dare..." "What?" "Hey!" "What's up?" "What's up?" "It just isn't your day today." "Doesn't matter." "You can't have everything." "Come with me." "Have you gone crazy?" "Think you can do anything you like?" "Shut up!" "You go first." "listen." "You don't know how to use that thing." "Let me make a suggestion." "Get away." "we can talk it over..." "Fuck off!" "Shit!" "The combination." "Quiet!" "what..." "What the heck are you doing?" "Open up!" "there are cameras everywhere." "You'll never get out of here." "The police will be here in a second." "You said they always come too late." "000." "little miss." "Leave your daddy alone." "do you?" "I don't know." "I don't have it." "Why not?" "000." "I'll have to get the rest from downstairs." "go!" "man !" "000." "In there." "Dad."

"Okay." "get away!" "will you?" "Please?" "Wait!" "Manni. I'm coming." "I'm almost there." "Wait!" "I'm gonna make it." "Lola." "What would you do if I died?" "well what if I were fatally ill?" "I'd find a way." "One more day"?" "shock therapy." "What if I were dead anyway?" "What do you want to hear?" "Come on." "Tell me." "I'd go to the Isle of Rügen and cast your ashes to the wind." "And then?" "I don't know." "It's a stupid question." "I know what you'd do." "You'd forget me." "No!" "Sure you would." "you'd mourn for a few weeks." "Not a bad idea." "And everybody's real compassionate and everyone feels sorry for you." "they'll say." "She really pulls herself together instead of crying all day." "And all at once this really nice guy with green eyes shows up." "listens to you all day." "And you can talk his ear off." "And you can tell him how tough things are for you and that you have to look after yourself and don't know what's gonna happen blah." "Then you'd hop onto his lap and cross me off your list." "That's how it goes." "Manni." "What?" "You haven't died yet." "No?" "are you going shopping?" "I need shampoo." "I knew that Sagittarius was your ascendant." "I don't know." "but you're married too." "Watch out!" "Sorry." "I bet you're sorry." "Fries and a sausage." "Give me another one." "I'll be damned." "isn't it?" "kid." "I'll buy you a drink." "You need a bike?" "70 marks." "Lola?" "Mr. Meyer?" "Is everything okay?" "No." "do you want to have a baby with me?" "Yes." "Mr. Meyer is here." "There's something else." "Not now." "or if you're coming out." "Coming." "That's the nicest present you could ever give me." "Can we meet later on?" "Hi there." "Ms. Jäger." "Hi there." "Hello." "Hi." "Mr. Meyer." "Dad !" "Wait!" "You know what?" "I just had a strange encounter." "with your daughter." "With whom?" "Your daughter." "Dad !" "Shit!" "Shit!" "dear." "Thanks." "Wait." "So I decided it'd be best for me not to have kids."
