"We have to prepare mentally for having your dad around again." "Remember the conversation we had after we last visited him?" "You said people get used to being apart." "But I'm actually looking forward to him." "Maybe you are..." "Hey, we're going to walk." "You're bleeding." "Did your dad know about me?" "Of course." "What's all our stuff doing here?" "Stay here!"

"Hello?" "Does anyone hear me?" "We're going to find you a job." "So get used to the idea." "Pretty hard-nosed, aren't you?" "Don't tell me one of those pimply guys managed to lay you?" "Oh, leave her alone." "All right." "So, tell me, how was it?" "You were gone too long to meddle now." "So I'm right." "By the way, our daughter worries that we're losers." "She better watch it or we'll sell her to a harem." "Can you stop that?" "It's disgusting." "Can I help you, Monsieur?" "Yes." "Your driver's license and  car documents, please." "Of course." "Where are they?" "Here." "Just a moment." "Just be quiet, whatever happens." "Your vehicle's registered in Portugal..." "You have a belgian passport and a German driver's license..." "And then you have two addresses..." "Where are you currently registered as a resident  Mr. Dominguez?" "I, uhm..." "Okay, get out of the car, please." "I'd Iike a look inside the trunk." "What was the purpose of your trip to Belgium?" "We were invited to a wedding." "Open your suitcase, please." "1 200, 1 300, 1 400, 1 500, 1 600... 1 700, 1 800... 1 700, 1 800 1 900... and 2000."

"Take care of your own problems, okay?" "I'm trying." "So does your offer still stand?" "You must be desperate." "Not at all." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "You couldn't afford me, anyway." "You think we fit in here?" "l have no idea." ""You rebelled against everything I stood for." "Thus it is my greatest wish that you return to your parental home. "" "Maybe you can give up your gypsy life now that I'm no longer here." "May your child stay with you till she comes of age and be happier than you were with me. " Your loving Father" "Amen." "He left all liquid assets to my brother?" "That's right." "We're going to invest anyway." "Who do you mean by "we"?" "My wife and I." "Your late father often wondered what sort of company it was." "Import-Export." "Rugs, Algerian tiles..." "traditional handicrafts." "But problems with the tax authorities almost ruined us, sadly." "What does that mean?" "We never benefited from tax funds, so why should we put up a sign saying how we earn a living?" "Defining oneself and one's place in society through the work one does seems legitimate enough to me." "I guess you disagree." "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Go ahead." "What offence caused you to be sentenced to prison?" "You get straight to the point, don't you?" "Let me ask you a question." "What does your repulsive after-shave remind me of?" "Say, why don't you invite me for a nice cup of tea?" "Just us two..." "But you want me to piss off, don't you?"

"'Cause I didn't know what state he'd be in..." "or whether he'd come at all." "Good morning." "Morning." "Uh oh, now there's going to be trouble." "Well, well, who are you?" "Are you lost?" "You're..." "You're not a student here, are you?" "As you can see." "Can you get me a chair?" "Get out." "Come, that's enough." "In you go, little pig!" "My ideas  aren't all business-related." "You know what I mean?" "That speaks for you, Darling." "And, where do we go from here?" "You have a plan yet?" "If Didier pays  we'll be okay for money." "Hey, you bum." "Not feeling well?" "Go back upstairs." "Depressed at the thought of yourself, huh?" "I wish I were a tough guy who doesn't give a shit, but I'm not." "No one to blame but yourself." "absolutely." "Man, eight years already..." "Seems like forever." "Rosa left me, Stevie." "Without saying a word." "You can sleep upstairs with me." "In the other bed."

"You can give them to me." "I don't have anything." "I know that's a lie." "Axel told me you stole 2000 euros from him." "I'll buy you some new after-shave." "Yours just smells of alcohol."

"silly little fucker." "And?" "is it good?" "Yup." "So, tell me..." "How was it?" "To fuck Ingmar?" "What?" "What?" "!" "And?" "Come on, I'm curious." "And you?" "Don't have the guts to tell me yourself?" "Stop it!" "Shut up, I'm talking to Ingmar." "Your pal's in jail, you fuck his wife?" "Stop it!" "Go to your boyfriend." "You're being a total asshole!" "Was it a one-time thing or is it still going on?" "Just lay off, will you?" "Come on, tell me!" "Calm down, okay?" "Oh, are you still fucking?" "Just shut up." "Go away and leave me alone!" "The girls invited you over!" "Come on in." "At the end a woman does it with two men." "klaus and I have an open relationship." "You're my hormone cocktail, Mandy."

"Yeah, right!" "For what?" "In Brazil." "Get a load of that." "Here... write what the person who draws the slip has to do." "Why don't you live with your mom?" "She didn't want me." "Bitch." "I'm fully aware that you occasionally  have something intelligent to say." "But you know, it's just that you constantly  miss the point." "Or rather, the... heart of the matter." "It's funny, I agree." "But, you know  out of consideration for my daughter," "I wish you'd just shut up for a change." "Here." "You're disgusting." "And you're wasting the best years of your life." "Finally we've got German kids your age around, and what do you do?" "So?" "It's my fucking life." "And I'm your dad." "I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell everyone." "Get out!" "Oh, I wanted to say  you idiot don't even realize what a chance I'm giving you." "Oh, really, huh?" "Really..." "You ought to get a gun  and just blow us all away." "Why don't you just take this?" "Here... you can take this along." "Thank you." "What do you think of a tapas... bar?" "A tapas bar?" "Yes, tapas..." "Like in Spain and Portugal." "I think that would do well here." "How long were you in school last year?" "Two or three months?" "And when was that?" "ln the winter." "I always wore that blue jacket." "That winter was really long, wasn't it?" "Yes." "Anyway, they're these little canapes, uh..." "There are all sorts of different kinds." "With sardines, or Parma ham..." "Uh... proof of residence?" "l don't want to be rude, but I have another appointment." "Without the necessary papers..." "I need a report card to know what grade level she's reached." "Couldn't I take a test?" "Yes!" "Mrs. Opladen..." "Our classes are full enough as it is." "I don't even know if you're registered in this school district, so that she qualifies..." "Registered?" "But you knew my father!" "I was at his funeral, yes." "That's true." "But unfortunately that's irrelevant here." "Uh... excuse me, this is really all my fault." "Go wait outside." "Did I mention that we spent a long time in Spain and Portugal?" "Lily is sick." "She drinks." "She's getting treatment." "You saw how her hands were shaking." "Axel can't get his act together."

"You have to suck it into your lungs." "Can I sleep over tonight?" "What gave you that idea?" "I barely know you." "A night at Kim's is 1 00 euros." "You have to clean up my room and do my homework." "Where have you been?" "Is everything okay?" "Do you like me?" "I've been in love with you since you were a baby." "That's sick, man." "What's the matter with you?" "Why are you so keyed up?" "Listen..." "I don't want that, okay?" "I can't do that with you." "You're totally twisted." "You should be at a movie..." "Or sneaking a joint down by the lake with the others." "Or... necking with some boy to a really bad video." "Someone your own age." "You really want to let a guy like me have your cute little ass?" "You're just like all the others!" "Listen... I like you." "I care about you a lot." "Shut up." "Hey, I..." "I just hang around here all day." "Go for walks..." "Today I bought CDs I don't even like at a gas station, then I helped Axel." "And now... a while ago I was wondering when Rosa started hating me." "That's who I am." "Wait till I bring the questions out, okay?" "Yes, Boss." "You have to get closer." "It's 8:50 now." "I'll be back at 1 1 :50." "That trailer floor you're making is too thin for the horse." "Come on." "Come on!" "What's Brazil like?" "Nice." "When will your parents be back?" "Depends."

"He's not allowed to drink?" "That's terrible!" "I'm sure he's not very happy about that, the old boozer." "How are you doing with the methadone?" "What?" "!" "You had a relapse?" "Oh, you poor thing!" "So, when are you two coming back to Germany?" "Your daughter?" "She's sitting next to me." "You want to say hello to your mom?" "Come, sit down and join us." "Can we borrow some of your clothes?" "Look." "It looks just like my mom's." "Only the cut is different." "I told you she steals." "Are you a junkie, Stevie?" "Yup, ever since I was ten." "All she does is lie." "Where are you going?" "l'll get you some of my mom's things." "Your parents have a weird ethos." "They're way more whacked-out than mine." "I don't even know what that is..." ""ethos."" "What do you mean?" "Being with Ingmar" "What do you mean?" "Being with Ingmar reminded me what it's like." "What?" "To feel something when you fuck." "Oh, excuse me." "Have you lost it?" "Pull yourself together!" "You really want to fight, huh?" "Fine." "Huh?" "What?" "Get off her!" "Stop it!" "I'm sorry." "Boy, am I glad you caught it." "Can't you stay a little longer?" "You should keep the wig." "It doesn't look good on my mom, anyway." "Do you feel anything yet?" "No idea." "It's probably not enough for three." "Actually, I think I feel it now." "Did someone steal some of my dope?" "Did you get money for it?" "Hey..." "You want me to stay?" "You're sure?" "Okay." "Some people do things, others just talk." "Think sitting here will make your parents come back faster?" "I made some pudding." "Old Branzger wants to talk to you." "Your skills in different subjects vary enormously." "That makes me wonder." "Your... essay shows me  you have a talent for describing states of mind." "But that wasn't at all what was asked of you here." "No mistakes in math, but in English, the handwriting tells me you probably had help." "Are they still in Belgium?" "I'm going to be in your class." "Arctic summers are short." "It won't be long before the polar night descends on the North." "It is the time of the autumn migrations." "The young birds have little time to mature before setting out on their long journey south." "Though they've never flown the route before, they find their precise destination thousands of miles away." "Yes." "Yes, okay." "Hands off." "Check!" "It finally happened..." "What?" "I had my first eja... ejaculation." "Didier Pouget isn't home." "Please don't leave a message." "Thanks." "Hey, look." "Benny, you can't just get in some stranger's car like that!" "Where are you now?" "Where are you?" "!" "We didn't go that far away." "Tell me where you arel Are you nuts, or what?" "Don't yell at me." "It's all my fault." "I'm sorry." "Who was that?" "His dad." "Don't lie to me!" "Fine, it was the police, then." "Knock off the stupid jokes!" "Stop it." "She's right." "So, tell me..." "What happened?" "Our car was followed." "I can't reach our contacts." "They probably know where we're storing it." "We need another car." "If we manage to get the stuff out  we'll go to Brescia, via France." "Where?" "lt's near Milan." "Once we're out, we'll pick a city, okay?" "We're not going back to Germany?" "No." "Your little friend will have to find a way to get home himself." "You better not start to cry." "You don't even speak Italian." "I bet he stole it." "What will we do about the boy?" "Well, we can't go back into town." "Don't worry, my boy..." "I'm sure Lily will fix you up with a deluxe ride home." "Yeah, right." "Come on!" "And you're sure?" "Needs to be trimmed again." "BABELFISCH translations Subtitles:" "Alexandra F. Barrett"
