"No letter today." "I wrote R three weeks ago." "And still no answer." "Maybe he didn't get my letter." "Maybe a jealous assistant kept it from him." "Because she felt I love R more than her." "That I really love R." "It would be betrayal to R, if I stopped waiting for his letters." "I won't go to school today." "I will walk around town." "I imagined R visiting me in Ulm." "Us climbing hundreds of steps up the Münster." "It being one of the most beautiful moments of my life." "On the first platform, R gently takes me into his arms." "I tremble in excitement." "He is very gentle." "His lips touch my lips and I feel the tip of his tongue." "Some people looked at me in a funny way." "Tourists." "Maybe they thought I'm about to climb over the bars and throw myself down." "And they were right." "That's what I will do, if I don't hear from R." "But I will not just be jumping down and be dead, spattered across the entire square." "If I jump, I'll take a farewell letter to R with me." "Then R will hear of me." "He'll be forced to think about me." "Then I'll be a part of him." "And he a part of me." "I'm listening to his last album." "It's beautiful." "More beautiful than one could imagine." "Every song is like he wrote it for me." "It's as if he knew me inside out." "As if I knew him inside out." "I understand him." "And he understands me." "It's as if we had known each other forever but a cruel fate prevented us from really meeting." "It's not what you're thinking." "A letter from school to your parents." "Give me that!" "My parents say hello." "They can't talk to you right now." "I'll bring a doctor's note in the next few days." "I'm having complications with my period." "I was in school today." "I thought I could resist going home." "But I couldn't stop thinking about R." "You've got to be crazy!" "There's nothing there!" "He always sings with the same voice." "But for me, his voice is different every time." "I imagine that's what it's like, being with someone you're happy with." "You often say the same, but it's not the same." "The words you speak don't count." "What you mean counts, not what you say." "Because you may not be able to say what you mean." "I also wrote this to R in my letter." "I wrote:" ""I know I can make you happy." "And I know you can make me happy." "If you want to give our happiness a chance, write me back, or give me a sign in your next show." "Blink with your right eye once." "Then I'll know you're thinking about me."" "I don't care if I see R with other girls in magazines." "He doesn't look happy on the pictures." "I'm not jealous of the others." "Because they only want one thing from him." "His money." "That's why he doesn't really care about them." "He goes to bed with them, and throws them away." "Maybe he even pays them, so they realize he can see right through them." "Today, is R's first TV appearance since I wrote him." "I can't wait to see if he makes the appointed sign to me." "If he will blink to me." "I'm sure he will." "Some..." "Some stupid show host offered me 1000 marks." "Well..." "I didn't get away unscathed either." "It's also said that..." "I'll tell you one thing," "I'm going to watch the movie." "I want to watch the show." "I've been looking forward to it for weeks." "I don't know what'll happen." "All I know is, you always have to bleed for it." "Is the movie that good?" "Pretty good." "But I think I already saw it." "Maybe we can switch over to the show." ""Auf los geht's los" 7570 Baaden-Baaden 100" "And now good luck." "Speaking of luck, we may have lots of stars, but the real, international stars can be counted on the fingers of one hand." "A star of today, and maybe an international star of tomorrow, is a man who is making a career with many notes, but only one Jetter." "With the letter R." "What this R stands for, we do not know." "But maybe it stands for 'round the world?" "Fingers crossed!" "Here comes R!" "Enough of this crap!" "Dear R," "I don't know if you received my letters because I know you're unable to read all the letters yourself." "I don't know if you already wrote an answer because the postman in my street may have kept the letter from me for some reason." "Or my mother has it." "I don't know if you blinked to me in Blacky's show either." "I couldn't watch the whole show, because I had an argument with my parents." "So I'm writing it all to you one more time." "It could be that you're waiting to hear from me, but don't know I haven't heard from you yet." "If you already know my letter, start reading after the big heart." "I want to tell you that I love you." "And that I know I can make you happy." "You don't know me but I've known you for two years now." "And I feel I could give your life a meaning." "You would never be alone again." "You don't need to fear me being after your money, or your fame, because I would even love and stand by you, if you were poor and unknown." "You're such a good person, yet I often see it on your pictures, the sadness and loneliness hiding beneath your smile." "I suggest you write me to a P. O. Box, to my first name." "To the name Simone." "Just write the word come then I'll know, and we won't have to fear anyone finding out, that your letter gets into the wrong hands, and we get in trouble." "I'll go to the post office every day to ask for a letter from you." "Please, answer as soon as you're done reading my letter." "I can't go on without you any longer." "Hey, nice to see you." "Where are you all the time?" "Let's at least have a coffee together." "Some other time." "I think of you." "Ciao." "All for R?" "That's only the beginning, there are three more trucks at the central." "We're drowning in R's fan letters." "Better just dispose of it in the garbage!" "I'm so unhappy" "I can't even cry anymore." "I will now wait for seven more days." "If R doesn't answer by then" "I'll have to act." "Is there something for Simone?" "Nothing, sorry." "Day 1" "Where you goin'?" "Is there something for Simone?" "Day 2" "Could you look if there's something for Simone?" "There's nothing there." "Look anyway." "Next." "I told you to look." "Yes?" "For Friedrich?" "I told you to look!" "I'll have you thrown out." "Day 3" "Day 4" "There's nothing." "Day 4" "Day 4" "If you skip school again, I'll put you in a boarding school!" "Day 5" "Simone, get up." "Day 6" "Hey!" "You could at least close the door." "Day 7" "Ran away from home?" "Say what's in Munich?" "Hey cutie pie, got a boyfriend in Munich?" "What do you think about sex?" "Aren't you scared of hitchhiking alone?" "I think my friend needs a walk." "Go take a leak." "Hey you little minx, let's go..." "What are you doing here?" "!" "Autograph requests in writing only!" "And if you don't leave I'll call the cops!" "Television" "What's your name?" "Claudia." "Want to come in a little and watch?" "I'd love to." "Don't you have a job to do?" "Take care of the car." "You want an autograph?" "Umm, yes." "And you?" "What's your name?" "Beatrice." "Here." "You don't want one?" "Umm, no." "I have to rush, see you." "R didn't come today." "I'll keep waiting for him." "R!" "R!" "Don't you want my autograph?" "What's your name?" "I have to go in now." "You can come in later." "Just tell them I said so." "Everybody ready for rehearsal 2." "Ready for rehearsal." "Feeling better?" "All participants of "Top Pop" into the studio please." "Ready for rehearsal." "Just nod or shake your head." "Great." "I'm needed in the studio." "You can stay here or join me." "Your choice." "We're ready." "Patrizia, hurry with the mannequins, so R can get in position." "If he keeps it up, he'll be able to broadcast with his dick." "Do I have juice?" "Sound, give me some juice!" "Thanks." "Dieter?" "We're ready." "Start playback!" "Hang on, R, we have a few problems." "Bernd, can you light the Madonna?" "Bernd isn't here right now." "Hey!" "Okay, forget it for now." "Start playback!" "Patrizia, when are your guys going to stand?" "R?" "Let's break until the decoration is done." "So?" "How's everything?" "Christian, what did you have in mind for your final moderation?" "J Well something not exactly like that, but in that direction" "That's it, thanks for watching, until next time, bye, have a nice day... you know." "But I noticed, I'm talking towards the audience and you only see their backs, lighting wise" "What do you think about turning the shot around?" "If we have a few nice people, we can talk to them at the end of the show." "Ok then, we'll arrange the final shot differently." "Alright, great." "Hey, I need the exact broadcasting date so I don't make a mistake." "Another question, Dieter, what about the interviews?" "We need to clear the talk part with editorial first." "Did she leave because of me?" "Who?" "The girl you were... your assistant, sir." "You don't need to be so formal." "We barely know each other." "We'll have to change that, alright?" "Of course she left because of you." "She's morbidly jealous, even though we never had a thing." "I wrote you." "Maybe she kept the letters from you?" "Maybe." "But she still couldn't stop us from meeting." "R, can you come over?" "Excuse me." "Hey, R, I don't think we should do an interview." "You just coming out with the song will work better." "Yeah, you're right." "Do you always treat them that badly?" "That's just the way to do it." "You're the greatest." "See you after the taping?" "Unless you got something better to do." "Want to eat something?" "If you like." "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No." "I don't believe you." "A pretty girl like you?" "You're lying." "I'm not!" "Didn't you ever fall in love?" "I see, you don't care about boys." "Not at all." "Are they that bad?" "Worse." "And me?" "Dieter needs to talk to you again." "Yeah, ok." "Go get something to eat." "You know where the cafeteria is." "I need to lie down a little, to be fit for the taping." "And the food?" "You can wait in the cafeteria if you like." "Are you scared?" "Then sit down here." "And now?" "What?" "What now?" "You need to relax for the taping." "Come a little closer." "Closer." "Closer." "Close enough." "You're a little beast." "No, stay like that." "Know what I would like?" "A little kiss." "Well?" "Are all your kisses this hairy?" "R to make-up!" "Everybody else, get ready for taping!" "Good evening and welcome to a new edition of Top Pop." "I hope you're in a great mood, and looking forward to 45 musical minutes." "I hope you'll enjoy our guests, and the great surprise we have in store for you." "We have someone you haven't seen on TV for a long time, but more later." "Hey!" "Someone here liked it a lot." "Enjoyed the show today?" "Yeah, it was great!" "Ok, I'm glad!" "I hope you, our viewers, enjoyed your time at Top Pop as well!" "And thank you R for being in the studio today, we're really happy about it." "Until next time, have a nice day and bye for now!" "We need a quiet place to talk, are you coming tonight?" "You can't keep refusing every interview." "If you mess it up now, the last ten month's publicity has been for nothing." "You!" "Come on!" "We're done here." "Can we at least talk to you now?" "We booked the studio for the 10th." "All schedules are connected to that." "We could release two weeks later." "It would just barely work." "Anything else?" "What do you say?" "I'm taking time off." "Do what you want with your schedule." "You could interrupt you vacation for a couple of days." "I could." "And the album?" "Make it without me." "And the appearance on "Hit"?" "And the TV-spots?" "We scheduled them two months ago!" "Ready?" "We'll call you at the hotel." "I'll check out tonight." "How can we reach you?" "When will you come back?" "I'll send you a postcard." "Can I go through now?" "That'll keep you busy." "Where are we going?" "Wait, I'll just get my stuff." "The apartment of some friends." "They're in the USA for a year." "Nobody knows I got the key." "I have to call a few people, look around if you like." "Hello, it's me." "Yes." "Yes." "No." "Tomorrow?" "Forget it." "I think I wasn't exactly fair to my people." "You can afford it." "But I don't want to." "I like them, somehow." "And I need them." "But I thought you needed me." "Of course." "Where are you going?" "Reconcile with them before I leave." "I have to." "I'll return when I cleared the air, I promise." "I love you." "Same here." "I'd love to take you, but it's strictly business." "You made me very happy." "We'll see each other again." "I'll be back in Germany in a few months." "Believe me, I really need this vacation." "You can stay here as long as you like." "If you want to leave, deposit the keys in the hallway and just pull the door shut." "I'll call you when I'm away." "Simone..." "Tomorrow, I'll go back to school." "We didn't report you missing." "I didn't want a scandal." "And now, an announcement From the police." "The pop-singer R has been missing since August 29th of this year." "Birth name, Richard Reuss." "R left for a prolonged vacation, and has since then vanished without a trace." "When he was last seen at the taping of Top Pop, he was driving a brown Rolls Royce Corniche and wearing a white linen suit." "If you have any leads, please contact your local police precinct." "I know where you are." "Have no fear, I will not give you away." "Not for any money in the world." "I missed my period." "I'm four weeks late." "I will bring you into the world." "We will be happy." "I know you love me." "And me too:" "I love you."
