"MELODIES OF SPRING" "So, sit yourselves down." "It used to be forbidden to eat eggs during Lent." "Who knows what Lent is?" "No?" "Lent is..." "Chantal, sit down this instant!" "If not, I'll note it in the register!" "Why always me?" " "Always me!" "Always me!"" "Bernd-Michael, if I hear another word from you, you'll go straight to the principal." "Sit down, all of you!" "Lent is when, for a certain time, people... 5B is a tough case, huh?" "I wanted to remind you about the head of department elections." "You don't want to be saddled with Huberty, do you?" "And I know for sure now that Schrattke wants to vote him in, so..." "I'm a bit out of sorts, you know?" "When I was young and open-minded" "I didn't yet know this fear." "I was free and full of hope..." "Sorry, Anna." "Gotta run." "Haven't you got a class now?" " Next period. 6 A." "Yes." "Well... don't forget about it, okay?" ""Clarissa, don't forget me." "Greetings to the children."" "I don't know." "He somehow..." "I know him from somewhere." "We'll let you know." "Thanks." "Say, I'm sure I know you from somewhere." "But..." ""Head Through the Wall"!" "Manni!" "You were Manni!" "I was, like, 10 years old." "You were a cult back then, man!" "Manni." "Crazy!" " Er, I..." "Next, please!" "I could really use this part." "You think..." "Hey, if it were my decision, sure." "But..." "You're not the director?" " Me?" "No!" "No, I'm the assistant." "I, er..." "Hanno will watch the tapes later on, alright?" "So, who is Vanessa?" " Here!" "Name?" " "For Thilo with love", please." "Hey, man..." "Thanks!" "Good luck!" " How did it go?" "I'll have a word with Hanno, okay?" "Say, feel like coffee?" "I need to talk to you..." " No, er..." "What?" "An appointment?" "No, I have another audition." "Really?" "Cool!" "Well, good luck." "But let's..." "Okay?" "Hello, Mr. Reuter." "This is Thilo Kranz from Holzmann  Co wines." "Could I have two minutes of your..." "A first-class rosé." "It compliments summer cuisine perfectly." "Sold!" "Four cases!" " OK everybody, it's crunch time now!" "Let's go out and play hardball!" "Hello, Mr. Wolgert." "Thilo Kranz from Holzmann  Co." "You have..." "Yes, er..." "No, I don't want to sell you anything." "I want to offer you something." "Wine." "Money..." " Some have it!" "I need money." " And some don't!" "Just give me some money." "I'll get really mad..." " I need money." "...if I don't get some." "Some have it!" "And some don't!" "But I'll get really mad if I don't get some!" "Stagedive Agency." "Taube." "Hi, Rudi." "I went to that audition..." "They haven't called yet, have they?" "It was just this morning, Thilo!" " I know, it's just... maybe you'd tried to call me." "My phone is a bit..." "No, Thilo." "They haven't called." "But I need to talk to you anyway." "You see, spring, well, it's a time of change, right?" "Yes, a selection of our reds." "Well, talk it over with your husband and I'll call tomorrow with a new offer." "Have a nice day!" "Going through a bad patch?" "No, no..." "I have four people here who are all thinking it over." "Sure, Thilo." "But a good pass is not quite a goal, right?" "I need people who go for the goal, you understand?" "Go for the goal, Thilo!" "5.99 for..." "...only 16.99 for 6 bottles." "The same address?" "...street, Berlin 13583." "Hi." " Wow, I'm starving!" "Thilo?" "Thilo!" "What are you doing here?" " What do you mean?" "I broke up with you this morning." "You..." "Oh, well then..." "Anyway..." "I just came by to..." "Yes." "And..." "Why?" "What was the reason?" "I met someone else." "Oh." "Fair enough." "Take care, Thilo." "Yes, you too." "Thilo, wait a sec!" "Here, you forgot this." "As soon as you say you have a kid:" ""Oh, a young mother." "Can you manage the double burden?"" "Hello?" " It's me, Anna." "I mean, really!" "My daughter!" "You'd think that's her name: 'Burden'." "And are you happy with Max?" "Moritz." " Yes, sorry." "Yes, except the job situation." "More or less happy." "But being with the kid 24/7..." "It's a bit like a stranger moving in who wants to be involved in everything." "And you?" "How's school?" " Oh, it's pretty okay." "It's different than the Adenauer school." "Bigger classes and..." "But on the whole I'm quite..." "Excuse me." "The stranger." "What's the matter?" "Everything's fine." "Peter might become vice-principal." "Are you two in touch?" "Anna!" "What's wrong?" "I don't know, I'm..." "I'm just a bit sensitive today." "She had a great apartment..." "Huge bed..." "God, I slept like a log in that bed." "Moritz, a little sympathy might be appropriate, don't you think?" "Sure, right." "But what a shot, huh?" "Half-time!" "Can I have two more beers, please?" "Moritz, I've been having... these blackouts for a few days." "Suddenly I'm missing something, I kind of lose the plot..." "You know?" "Sometimes I don't know where I am or where I'm going." "What?" "I don't know, but anyway it's getting worse and worse each day." "Well..." "I wouldn't make a big deal out of it." "I mean, you're under stress." "The break-up..." "It's a perfectly normal defense mechanism, right?" "Here you go, gentlemen..." " Ah, thanks." "Hello, Anna." "It's Mom here." "We're arriving on Friday at exactly 7:26 a.m. We'll get a taxi to your place." "We can't wait to see you." " Yeah." "Your line has been cut off." "Please call customer services." "Damn." "Ah, great!" "Yuck, you stink!" "Thilo's girl left him." " So you drank away his troubles together?" "Shit, of course!" "Well, don't expect to sleep in tomorrow." " It's my day off." "That won't help you." "Where are you going?" "To get something to drink." "I find it so hard not to steal a glance or two," "because all of my senses are devouring you." "I've had nothing to drink," "I can't blame it on that." "What I feel is so real," "I'm falling for you, it's a fact" "Morning!" " Morning." "Anna?" "Anna?" "It's okay." "I was just a bit..." "You can't go to class like this." "It's only two periods." " No, really." "I'll sort it out for you." "Go see a doctor." "And try to relax a bit, okay?" "Hmm?" "Yes." "Good." "Oh, and have you got your ballot?" "Yes." "Great, thanks." "And put your feet up, okay?" "Valerie?" "Valerie!" "Valerie!" "A two-year break?" " I followed a man to Madrid." "At least I learned Spanish." "You speak English too?" " English, Spanish and Serbo-Croatian fluently, French and Italian quite well." "No children?" "No." "I'm a proud aunt." "But I can't have children." "Well, it wouldn't work out anyway." "I'm a workaholic." "Yeah!" "I'm back!" "Hello." " Hey!" "Hey, you again!" "Good mood?" "I've got a job!" " Congratulations." "No school today?" " I have the day off." "What do you think?" " Well..." "Say, why did we meet here?" "You wanted to borrow some money." " Want to take over a little?" "No, you seem to be doing just fine." "Moritz, I gotta run." " Hey!" "Oh!" "Hi, Valerie." "Hi, sweetie." " I'm back!" "Emily!" "Hello." " Hello." "Look." "Anna will help you unpack it, okay?" " Let's see!" "Moritz!" " What's the matter?" "Open it." "I have work." "I got the job!" "Wow!" " Yeah, huh?" "Your mom will help us out, and you'll have to work night shifts." "You always said you would, right?" "Yes, sure." "I always said I would." "Hello." "Anna." " Thilo." "Snazzy glasses." " Thanks." "I just bought them." "Fancy hat." " It's my lucky hat." "I mislaid it, but now I found it again." "Don't you think?" "Go ask him." "Go on!" "Well then, good luck." " Oh, yes." "Thanks." "Moritz, I gotta go back to the loony bin." "Can you?" "Yes, sure." "Say, what do you think of her?" "I don't know." "Er... snazzy glasses." "Why don't you ask her out to dinner?" " What?" "His girl just left him." "Valerie said she's a bit down." "It wasn't a big romance, but..." "You'd be doing me a favor." "And we'd score a point with my wife." "You mean..." "fancy restaurant and all?" "I don't have that kind of money." "Dustin Hoffmann was already 31 when he broke through as well." ""The Graduate."" "He plays a student, but he was actually already 31." "And you're 31, too?" " Yes." "No." "Well..." "Officially..." "I'm 35." "Well, it was just an example." "In this job, you just never know." "It sometimes happens that you... don't get any work for months, and then suddenly..." "As a teacher you never know what's coming, either." "Although some teachers just stick to the syllabus." "Then it's just like reading from a script, right?" "I try to do something different in every take, try new things..." "Always keep on the move." "You know why Easter eggs are colored?" "Maybe so you can tell they've been boiled?" "Hey!" "Right?" " More or less." "Well, it used to be forbidden to eat eggs during Lent." "So people boiled eggs to preserve them, and colored them to identify them." "Makes sense." "And... why did you bring that up now?" "It was a subject we had in school at Easter." "I didn't know it either." "Easter!" "That kind of completely passed me by somehow." "It's not such a major event, is it?" "It's the oldest Christian holiday." "And what about this?" " It doesn't really exist." "What?" "The Easter Bunny is made up?" "No." "It was a misinterpretation." "Supposedly." "Well, it really became popular in the 19th century through children's books." "And the toy and candy industries." "A bit like Santa Claus." "You know, Coca-Cola." "They invented Santa Claus." "Coca-Cola invented Santa Claus?" "Yes..." "No, not really." "He kind of metamorphosed out of Knecht Ruprecht and St. Nicholas." "It's got a long history." "But he got really established, with the red cloak and beard and all, in a 1930s Coca-Cola ad campaign." "It's just great." "It's such fun to teach and to see how the kids develop." "And I learn new things every day too." "Always keep on the move, just like you said." "There are so many exciting, mysterious, and crazy things in the world to discover and learn about." "And if that were taken away from me, I wouldn't know..." "But why should that happen?" "I'm quite sure..." "I'm quite sure that you..." "What?" "It's..." "I'm sorry, it's..." " No, forget it." "I can..." "I got it bad, so bad, from the first kiss you gave me." "Who'd have thought it possible?" "And you're the one responsible." "I got it bad, so bad, at our first rendezvous." "And the one to blame, the one to blame is you!" "It drove me nuts, so nuts, the first kiss from your lips." "Aimlessly I'm wandering, and my mind is in a spin." "I got it bad, so bad, and what am I to do?" "now that I can no longer sleep at night!" "Breakfast!" "Anna Banana!" " We took an early train to catch you before school." "Tomorrow we're going to one of those..." "comic operas." ""The Hunchback of Notre Dame." A musical." ""The hunchback of Notre Dame." A musical." "We stop at nothing." "Where do you put the..." " Over there, Mom." "Any news from home?" "Young Brombach lost two fingers in the sawmill." "He's not a very bright boy." "Didn't the same happen to his father?" " Yes, it's kind of a family tradition." "Peter's wife left him." "What?" "She just packed up and took the twins." "I never really liked her." "That's sad." "He asks about you sometimes." "You know, I think... he still regrets..." " Yeah, yeah." "What?" "It was her decision." "So that's the way it is." "And that's how it is." "And it's time for school, isn't it?" "Yes." "Bye!" "And thanks for breakfast." "See you after the..." "At about one-thirty." "Darling!" "3 times daily." "Clothes are ready, food's in the fridge." "We'll manage." "You mom's coming at 3." "When do you have to go?" " I start at 4." "Okay." "How do I look?" " You're the bomb." "Get going!" "Bye, Emily!" "Cross your fingers!" "Thanks." "Knock 'em dead!" "So Emily, what are we doing today?" "Mommy!" " Yes, but Daddy's here." "You've reached Anna Brokate's mailbox." "Leave a message and I'll call back." "Hello, Thilo here." "I left a message the other day and..." "I just wanted to ask how you're..." "I've got you down for 4 cases of the 2000 South African Merlot and 12 bottles of the 1998 Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon." "But if it's inconvenient now, I can..." "Hello, I'm the father." "Can I help?" "Yes, er..." "Perhaps." "It's about the... the wine order." "I'm just calling to confirm." "I..." "Four boxes of the 2000 South African Merlot." "Yes, of course." "It's a..." "Veenvouden Merlot." "We're offering it for 49.99 per case." "That about 8.30 per bottle." "And it usually retails for 12 euros or more." "I'm 66 years old and I've been drinking wine since my confirmation." "What would you recommend for, let's say, a special occasion?" "What do you have for your best customers?" "Ah!" "Yes, the French!" "Yes, now we're talking business!" "I knew you were keeping something back." "The 1986 vintage?" "Exceptional, no question about it." "No question about it." "Earthy, yes." "Elegant, deep..." "Well, that's 40 euros a bottle, but if you consider how long it's been maturing, and if you..." "You're taking them?" "And 4 cases of the Veenvouden Merlot?" "Yes, I'm still here." "Yes, I'll take that down..." "Anna Brokate..." "You drink too much!" "And you spend too much on it!" "But the order is for Anna!" "No!" "Er... are you still there?" "Yes." "I'd like one, no, let's say two more cases of the 1986 Bordeaux, okay?" "That makes 500, right?" "What will that be in total?" "1,698 euros and 94 cents!" "Hey, Thilo." "Congratulations!" "Well done, Thilo." " Congrats." "A goal out of thin air!" " Thanks." "Your doctor's note." "Thanks." "It's certainly not a bad idea to focus on other things for a few days." "But?" "What do you think?" "Something has to change." "Right here and now, you see?" "I hardly know myself anymore," "I need to sit and talk with me." "I'm happy to listen, if you like." "Yes." "It's as if a rock were weighing on my heart." "How did it get there?" "Hi, Moritz, it's me." "Do you know Anna's address?" "I can't reach her, and I thought I might go..." "Anna Brokate 24 Goethe Strasse, Berlin 10623." "Thilo?" "Unfortunately it's not in stock at the moment." "This door..." "I know." "Hello." " Thilo." "Yes." "Thilo." "Of course." "Sorry about what happened." "I'm a bit..." "No, no." "I wanted to apologize." "I..." "I should have..." "I don't know what I should've done, but just to sit and do nothing sure wasn't the right thing." "I'm sorry." "Yes, I'd ask to..." " Yes, parents." "I've got some myself!" "Anna, ask the young man to come in." "Anna, where's the lemon-squeezer?" " One moment, Mom." "Shall we go for a little walk?" " Sure." "They're for you." "Thank you." "Here." "Come on." "Sorry for not calling you back." "I just have so much..." "And after running out like that..." " On the contrary." "I mean..." "Well..." "I don't know you." "I love you, and I don't know you." "Know nothing about you, just feel that you belong to me." "Thanks." "Shall we maybe..." "I sometimes sit here." "The evening sun hits..." "Well, not right now..." "I had a bad day when we met last time." "I talked about school the whole time, but actually..." "It's completely..." "No, not completely..." "I really like my job." "But... it's not going so well right now." "It's not going so well for me, either." "With acting, I mean." "I do another job to keep my head above water." "I..." "I sell wine." "Over the phone." "Yes, it's embarrassing but true." "I sell wine over the phone." "No, you're just saying that." " No." "And I'm not even any good." "Although today I hit the jackpot." "7 cases in one go." "So I could easily treat you to one or two glasses of red..." "From the dark corner of my soul you appear, at just the right moment to chase away bad spirits..." "I could fetch us something to drink." "The important thing in life is a good sense of timing." "Thanks." " Shall we set a place for the young man, Anna?" " No." "I have to..." "Would you like to do something with me on Friday?" "In the evening." "I mean, go out or something?" " Yes." "Yes?" " Yes." "There's this other part as well." "Hanno owes me one anyway." "I wouldn't even do that TV crap if he didn't have that big movie coming up." "You're doing pretty good?" "Yes." "About time, right?" "Oh, I've got the tickets." "Concert." "G-Love, on the 14th." "We're meeting here at around 10." "Okay." "Say, Thilo..." "I..." "I have to make a confession." "Oh no!" "Groupies." "For who?" " Hey, you're Manni, right?" "Thilo." "Yes, I'm Thilo." "Yes, but you played Manni in "Head Through the Wall," right?" "Correct." "Oh, man!" "Wow, your film was the thing!" "We all tried to copy you at school." "The walk, the talk..." "We even got clothes like..." "Yes, yes..." " Kalle!" "The jerk who stole Manni's girl." "I didn't think the two of you occupied the same universe." "In real life he's quite a nice guy." "Let's go play foosball." " If you say so." "Bye." "So, Thilo..." "Yes, Florian." "I, er..." "I..." " You, er... you..." "I've started dating Katja." "So it's you?" "Yes." "Well..." "Yes." "She said that..." "Your relationship was already..." "She's totally in love." "Did she say that?" " It's what I heard." "Here's to love, man." "Moritz, where were you?" "The game's over." " I had the late shift, man." "I do the late shift now." " Okay." "In the day it's Emily and then work." "Emily, work, Emily, work, Emily, work..." "That's my life." "The thing I love best is sleep." "Or..." "Wow, can you read minds?" "It's from the guys." " Who?" "What?" "Groupies." "Manni!" " Hey!" "Hey, that beer was for Manni." "There's still soccer on!" " Yep." "The highlights." "There's a new program:" ""Support tutoring at school."" "They've asked ex-teachers to join." "They don't pay much, but..." "It's good for him." "And for me." "Cheers." " Yes, at last!" "Now pass to him!" "Pass the ball!" "Peter got it started." "Rumor has it he's going to be vice-principal." "You know, sometimes I imagine that you'd stayed together." "You'd teach at the same school, you'd have a small house close to us... and maybe a grandchild for me." "Oh well..." "I so long to be a grandmother." "You've reached Anna Brokate's mailbox." "Leave a message and I'll call back." "Hello, Anna, it's Thilo here." "I just wanted to say..." "I can't get to sleep tonight." "And you are to blame for my plight." "With your seductive, enchanting blue eyes..." "It makes no difference who we fall for, or who it is that breaks our heart." "It's destiny that drives us, and always, always lets us down hard." "Morning." "Katja, I have a feeling this is getting serious." "Yes, that's what I feel, too." "That's not good." "I'm not cut out for that." "For what?" "Listen, we can have fun, we can go out, we can screw, okay." "But..." "I'm in love with you." " No." "No, that's exactly the kind of shit I don't want to hear!" "But that's the way it is!" " No way." "I don't want to hear a lot of whining." "And I don't want to work on a relationship!" "Who said anything about work?" "I'm in love with you." "Don't you even like me?" "Yes, I like you!" "You see?" "Tears." "It's already starting!" "I'm not made for all this." "I could be anywhere tomorrow!" "I thought you liked me." "I'm having fun." "You're having fun." "A man and a woman, just one on one." "But falling in love with you..." "It won't ever happen." "Hello." " Hello." "What are we doing?" "Er..." "I'm hungry." "A little bit." " Oh, yes." "Sure..." "I know a cozy place." "They don't have a menu, just one dish every evening." "The waiter is..." ""Closed by Dept. of Health" It looks like they..." "It's a bit trendy, isn't it?" "Yes, so..." "Er..." "Yummy!" "Want to go for a drink afterwards?" "Well, I could easily treat you to one or two glasses of..." "...red." "I never denied being a woman." " No, you said you wore dresses, but I thought it was just a phase in your..." " A phase?" "You thought" "I was a transvestite?" " No, I mean, why a transvestite?" "My brother wore women's clothes, too." "When he was about 5." "Oh, excuse me." "You remind me of a girlfriend." "Hannelore Mutzinger." "Are you maybe..." " Yes, it's me." "I'm called Hanno now." "Oh, yes, that's really..." "What's up?" "How are you?" " Oh," "I'm fine." "I do bead embroidery, and I'm hosting a TV show about parapsychological phenomena on a public-access channel." " Oh." "Well, it was nice..." "It was nice to see you again." " Yes, ditto." "Hey, were you involved with her?" " Yes, but I was still a woman then." "Oh!" "So how are things with you?" "My world's been turned upside-down, because it revolves around you." "Now every day when I wake up the sky, like your eyes, wears blue." "Two more red wines?" "Yes." "No... yes." " Thanks." "I'll be right back, okay?" "Don't run away." "Yes... no." "I'll wait." "I often spent time all alone, and hoped for a miracle to come." "I've been waiting so long for a kiss to wake from those dreams, what tender bliss!" "Hi!" " Hello." "What'll it be?" "Campari and orange." " A champagne." "And for you?" " A Fanta." "I had a little too much yesterday..." "Hey, Thilo." "Sorry, man, we..." "Oh, forget it." "Been waiting long?" "What's wrong?" "The concert!" "G-Love!" "Oh, yes!" " Okay, then..." "Let's go." "We're late." "Thilo?" "Could I get another red wine, please." "When the glass falls from my hand, hey!" "there will be broken pieces." "and I want to shatter just like the wine glass in my hand." "A moment back I talked about all my plans for tomorrow." "But suddenly my heart stands still And my glass it fell and fell!" "And then you go on drinking..." " Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "Nothing happened, after all." " Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "This world, it won't stand still." " Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!" "It will just keep on turning round." "Yes... no." "I'll wait." "Anna!" "Anna Brokate?" " Yes." "Here..." " Uh..." "Thanks." "Can you sign here?" " Sure." ""Happy Easter, Anna." "Greetings from home, Peter." "Give me a buzz sometime."" "Thanks, Peter." "You're so sweet." "Thanks." "And thanks for..." " It sounds like you've almost finished them." " Yes." "Go on, please." "So, Franz comes in, Isabell and Gustav are standing in the passage you know, at the jukebox?" "So, Franz comes in, and looks directly into her eyes..." "Oh, there's someone at the door." "Can you hold on a moment?" "Of course." "Thanks." "I'm..." "I'm really sorry, Anna." "I..." "I don't really know how to..." "It's a bit..." "I have these blackouts." "I sometimes forget where I am, what I'm doing, or what I want to do." "I..." "I completely forgot about you." " You forgot about me?" "Yes." "I know it sounds stupid." " No," "I understand." "You were getting even." "And you know..." "I forgot something, too." "Why did I go out with you again?" "Getting even?" "Sorry, can you hold on a little longer?" "Thanks." "Was there anything else?" "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "Anna?" "Anna?" " Just a moment." "Anna?" "Your eyes are too beautiful for tears," "Yes, they're much too beautiful for tears..." "Why am I so forgetful?" "I don't know, this shit is throwing me off balance." "Tell me, why am I so forgetful?" "I don't know, Thilo." "What do you mean?" "I wish I knew." "But if I did, I wouldn't have to ask you." "What, exactly?" "I completely forgot about Anna." "We were on a date, everything was great..." "And then I forgot all about her and left her sitting in the bar." "Hello!" " Hello." "And, er..." "I know I have to change or it's downhill from here on." "Tomorrow is the day if I don't forget it right away." " Emily!" "Thilo, let's talk later, okay?" "Hello, Emily!" "Daddy has to go to work." "Grandma's here." "Bye." "Grandma!" "Hey!" "Well?" "A beer, please." " Two." "Thanks." "Are you alright?" "Well," "I messed up with the woman I love, the acting's at a standstill, my day-job pisses me off, and I earn barely enough for the rent." "I'm 35 years old, and my life is..." "It's so fucked up." "It's all..." "There's always suicide." "I'm just saying... it's an option." "Let's not delude ourselves." "No one's forcing us to stick around." "That's not very constructive, really." "But maybe a schnapps is?" "A couple of shots, please." "What about you?" "Not nominated for the Bambi?" " Very funny." "Sorry." "I've fallen in love with Katja." "Well, that fits." " I broke up with her." "I..." "I'm ill." "A muscle disease." " What?" "It's not important." "I'm sick, is all." "Fuck, Florian..." " Cut out the grief crap, okay?" "I..." "I've really fallen for Katja." "And she's fallen for me." "I..." "What am I going to do?" "I can't just drag her into all this shit, so that she has to care for me when I start drooling or whatever." "I..." "I don't know." "I think... if she loves you, she loves you, right?" "In any case, I think it's a decision she has to make for herself, and not you for her." "I think." "Hold on... tightly to your love." "Hold on... tightly to your love." "When springtime comes, and your soul is burning," "you wake at night from dreams, and there is no one at your side." "When the one you're waiting for" "Leaves you high and dry..." "Hold on... tightly to your love." "Hold on... tightly to your love!" "Oh, it fell down." "Yes." "I'm not really sure." "Fever, stomach pains." "I'm going to the doctor now." "Okay." "Yes, fine." "Thanks." "Hey, kid, what have you gone and done now?" "Ah..." "Come on." "It would be nice if you said something now." "The blackouts are not the problem." "The question is, why do they happen?" "I suspect you're suppressing something important in your life." "These holes, as you call them, are rather a recollection of forgetting." "If you see what I mean." "Thanks." "Come across, Johnny." "Watch it!" "Watch it!" "Help me get her out of there!" "Cover me!" "Moritz?" "Moritz?" " What?" "Are you out of your mind?" " Oh," "I must have dozed off." " It's almost midnight!" "She should be in bed, not watching this filth and eating chocolate!" "Do I have to do everything myself?" "No." "Can I have a sip?" "I'm sorry." "No..." "I don't know what's up." "I had a tough day today." "Sit down." "Please." "I thought..." "You're so good with Emily." "Yeah?" "I'm not so sure." "How come you're at home?" "Where's your mother?" "I phoned in sick." " What?" "What's wrong with you?" " Nothing." "There's nothing wrong with me..." "It's just not working out:" "Emily and work." "You've seen for yourself." "I have a lot of holiday owed." "I thought I'd take some time off." "And then?" "Then you can do your thing and I'll keep the home in order." "And then?" "Then we'll see." "And then?" "And then you take off, even if you don't know where to." "There's always a door that opens when things get tough." "We two are not alone," "I want to be at your side." "And everything else will happen." "You're with me, so I just can't lose." "Without a kid it'd be easy, huh?" "So, do you enjoy your job?" "It's somehow not as great... or not as important as I thought it would be." "But, yes, I enjoy it." "And I'm good, I'm really good!" "You're good!" " I know!" "No one ever said it'd be easy, huh?" "I miss you two." "And we miss you." "Hey, Thilo." "I heard that you're an actor." "Fact?" "Er..." "Wow..." "Cool!" "Well, what I mean is..." "If you can't find your way into the game why not act as if you were... a wine salesman!" "Just a tip from your coach." "Hello, Thilo Kranz from Holzmann  Co." "Could I have two minutes of your..." "If you like rosé, you'll love our "La Strada."" "A first-class rosé." "It compliments summer cuisine perfectly..." "Hello, Thilo Kranz from Holzmann  Co." "Could I have two minutes of your valuable time?" "It's Dad's day off today, and we're going to make music." "Music!" "You ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon from us last year." "How did you like it?" "Yes!" "But I didn't order any wine." " Well... that's not my problem." "It's been paid for, and there's no way I'm carrying it back down." "The neighbors." " Oh, shame." "Just put it in the kitchen." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "Hello?" "Brokate." "Well, sweetie, how is the wine?" "Oh, Dad!" "Yes... it's just being delivered." "I received my cases yesterday, and I have to say that the '86 Bordeaux is a real treat." "A real treat!" " Thanks very much." "I bought it from that very pleasant young man." "Over the phone." "You had your eye on this South African Merlot, right?" "But I had them dig around in the cellars and they found me this exquisite red." "Thank you very much." "Have a nice day." "Goodbye." "German and French." "One-to-one tuition only." "This is Thilo Kranz from Holzmann  Co." "How are you doing?" "Assistant needed" " Enquire within." "It's about the 2004 Bardolino, our star wine, the treasure of Italy, "La Strada"." "I..." " Ralf, have you got a moment?" "I have a child!" "I'm a mother, I have a daughter!" "Well, congratulations." " Mine, too." "What's that?" "My dismissal?" "It's your CV." "I'll be off then." " Goodnight, René." "Yes?" "Yes, I think there's one in the back-office." "I see." "Yes, sure." "Okay." "What's that?" " A fax." "Just came in for you." "Here, another one." ""That's your son." "I think Ramone would be a nice name."" "When you look at me like that," "I'm completely at a loss." "If you want to, take me, forever, if you like." "I'll give you everything that I am, that is my promise." "Every day... without you is a crime." "Say that again," "and don't you ever stop." "The moon's shining so bright," "take me up there tonight." "Bring this moment back for an eternity." "Say that again." "Lie to me again." "Lie to me again." "I love you." "Lie to me again." "I'm sorry." "I know." "House husband?" "That's a tough job." "Not as tough as telephone terrorist!" "Oh, I even drink the stuff myself now." "Say, I've never walked this far for a coffee." "We're almost there." "What about your career?" "What?" " The acting." "I got the part in Florian's film." "It was okay, but..." "I don't know." "Maybe it's not the perfect job for someone so..." "Forgetful?" " Yes." "I quit my job at the school." "Really?" " Yes." "Because you were going to move?" " No, but I think..." "I would've ended up hating myself." "I would've become a grouchy old bitch." "So you're no longer a civil servant?" " No." "And now?" "I do private tutoring and help out in a bookshop." "It doesn't pay that much, but there's plenty to read." "Have you heard from Anna?" " Anna?" "No." "Moritz said that he has blackouts and that he's having therapy for it." "I think he even forgot that he sold my father wine over the phone." "He sells wine over the phone." "I didn't believe it, but..." "It's true." " Yes." "Moritz, do you drink wine?" "No, we have a good deal... it might interest you." "Oh, just a sec." "Yes?" "Oh, okay." "Sure, I'm coming." "Hello?" "Oh!" "Yes?" "Oh, alright." "I'll be there in 10 minutes," "Okay." "I'll be right there." "Bye." "What's up?" "I have to go home." "Emily." "Nothing serious, but..." "Listen," "I have to go home." " Let's meet at that café in 30 minutes." "I can be back here in 30 minutes." "See you in a bit." " Okay." "Hello, Anna." " Hello, Thilo." "On your way to the café, too?" "Yes." "Well..." "that was really... discreetly..." "...contrived." "Yes." "How are you?" " I'm doing fine." "And you?" "I'm fine too." "Really..." "I am fine." "It's good to see you." "featuring songs by" "I saw your series just recently." "And... the music was really rotten." "Well, I wasn't involved in that." "You pick up your bass again, and suddenly you're an expert!" "I'm an expert even without my bass." "I sometimes imagine that the city was by the sea." "Nice thought." "I can taste salt." "I've missed that feeling so long just to forget what day of the week it is." "All that counts is the sea, the sun, and you." "You doze off on a sunny day, a warm breeze has blown all the stress away," "You're just lying there, and I'm looking at you." "There's not a cloud in the sky above, we dive in the water, play in the surf." "We can see for miles out to sea, this is the time for you and me." "Sun-screen kisses, sand on your brow, salt on your skin from the sea." "Sun-screen kisses, I want more, it's so new, but familiar to me." "Your sun-screen kisses..." "Your sun-screen kisses..." "Here's to summer, guys." "Cheers." " Cheers." "Give me a kiss." "One kiss." "She tastes like sun-screen." "Yours, too?" "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
