"And the packaging of the spinach, do you find it," "A: very inviting?" "B: somewhat inviting?" " Anke, did I wake you?" " C: not very?" "I'd like to ask some questions ..." "Thanks, let's not change the subject." "No ..." " So, A: not very ..." " An opinion poll." "Hi, it's me." "You probably left already." "You know, I'm thinking of you." "I don't know where your daughter is." "Good night." "Oh yeah, in case you didn't know, the clocks change tonight." "Who was that?" "Answering machine." "Did you meet somebody?" "Anke, I gotta go." "I'll call you back." "OK, Michael, pack up your stuff." "Why?" "Why?" "No private calls at work." "That's it." "You had three warnings." "Come on, that wasn't even 30 seconds." "Watch it." "You've had three, too." "Good you keep track." "Makes things fun, gives you a kick, huh?" "Stop it, Roland." "I won't stop it." "We all make private calls, damn it!" "Know what?" "If he goes, I go, too." "Feel free." "Calm down everyone." "Kevin ..." "Please, listen ..." "Anke, do you have time to meet me earlier?" "Micky and I just got off early!" "Yes, sure." "No, I ..." "Herta BSC." "I told you I'm at Käthe's." "Yes." "OK, pick us up here." "See you!" "Man!" "Where do they get their candidates?" "Why are you hesitating?" "I really should apply there!" "All that money!" "Hello?" "This is Judith." "Hi!" "How did you know I was here?" "I didn't." "Is Carsten there?" "Wait." "Is your brother here?" "No, he's not." "You know where he is?" "Did he leave a message for me?" "Gimme Käthe a second." "Do we know where he is?" "Käthe!" "Did he leave a message at all?" "Nope." "Come out with us." "Roland and Micky are coming." "He said he'd call." "Could you leave him a note?" "I will, but ..." "Anke, I gotta go ..." "Looking for your boyfriend again?" "No, just a misunderstanding." "Careful!" "I just had it done." "What's your name?" "Carsten." "Pit." "I gotta get back in and work." "You going back in?" "No." "I'll give you my number." "If you feel like it, give me a call." "Okay." "Anke!" "Anke!" "It's been beeping for over an hour." "Oh no." "Are you awake now?" "Mmm." "Oh shit." "Pit here." "Hi, it's Florian." "Where are you?" "Train station." "Already?" "Yeah, the train was on time." "I thought it was the 1 2:28?" "Pit, they changed the clocks today." "Shit." "Stay where you are." "I'm coming." "I'm standing downstairs at ..." "Hi." "Hi." "What's that?" "Aspirin?" "Vitamin C." "Want one?" "I'm splitting." "Why?" "You just showed up." "I mean from Berlin, from Germany." "You've said that for a year and you're still here." "I know." "This time I mean it." "I quit my job yesterday." "Oh man, I'm so sick of it all." "Anke." "And?" "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know." "India, South America ..." "Away from Europe, anyway." "Europe's the same all over." "Man!" "I almost didn't recognize you." "Why?" "Have I changed so much?" "In a way, yes, but in a way, no." "You haven't changed at all." "Thanks." "Nothing wrong with that." "I just thought, after two years ..." "I'm parked badly." " Is that everything?" " Yes, this is what I had in Spain." "I'll get my stuff from Aachen when I find a room." "Okay." "I can't remember a thing." "I can't remember a thing." "Just that I puked in that cab." "You sure you don't have any cigarettes?" "Hello?" "It's Micky." "Oh, hi." "Want breakfast?" "I just bought some stuff." "Who is it?" "It's Micky." "He lost his job." "Listen ..." "Anke's feeling sick and I'm not all that well either." "What's up?" "Well ..." "Carsten!" "Does Roland have any?" "He left." "What is it this time?" "The usual." "I'm making a fool of myself." "He's an asshole." "No, he just shouldn't say he'll call and then not do it." "You must be used to it by now." "I'll never get used to it." "Shit." "He was nice, caramel colored with floppy ears and soft fur." "I don't know what breed, but beautiful." "He was my best friend." "And we did everything together, and he fell asleep in my arms." "And when I woke up" "I was so sad, 'cause I noticed that I didn't really have a dog." "What?" "It's nothing." "Buy yourself one." "I don't know." "It' a huge responsibility." "Then I have it, and it's like a child." "It's always there." "But it's also your best friend." "Morning." "Morning." "You want some?" "You're disgustingly awake!" "What is it?" "It beautifies the aura." "In that case ..." "Judith called three times yesterday." "She said you had a date." "We didn't have a date." "I'm gonna crash." "Night!" "And turn the fucking music down!" "Historicism, I'd say ... probably Neo-baroque." "1 880, maybe '83 ..." "Whatever." "Should I carry something?" "Wow, the stucco!" "We have to clean that up so it can be seen properly." "I can help with painting as well." "I didn't know you just moved in." "I've lived here for three years." "And it's supposed to look like this." "Here are the keys." "Apartment, front door." "Want something to drink?" "Why are you so hectic?" "I'm not hectic." "I just have stuff to do." "We could cook something tonight." "I have to work tonight, but I can put you on the guest list." "What's this?" "You trying to look like a model?" "A friend of mine took them ... so I can go to an agency." "But why do you want to model?" "Why not?" "I've been going to the gym a lot lately and I'm tall ... and one day I'll be on one of those posters." "Aha." "Well, fine." "Some people want a dog, others to be a top model." "What do you want to drink?" "Whatever you got." "I hope she's got something." "I hope she's got something." "I won't go to this party without drugs." "All those straight opinion pollsters." "I can't stand 'em sober." "Are you gay?" "What was your name?" "I forgot." " God, I look bad." " Florian." "And I'm not gay." "What brings you to Berlin?" "Are you the carpenter?" "I did a carpenter's apprenticeship, now I'm going to study architecture." "How can I get rid of these rings?" "Can I get them tattooed off?" "Can't say." "I don't know." "What do you want to build?" "Architects can't get jobs anyway." "I want to build houses for the people." "Suited to each individual's needs ..." "Here he comes." "Got something?" "Yep." "Thank God!" "The evening is saved!" "You okay, Florian?" "Yes." "Don't worry, the party's not only for fags." "Sadly ..." "You're a couple of years late if you want a cheap place in Prenzelberg." "You have to put the coaster on top." "Ay, ay, Tequila!" "Can we go soon?" "We've worked out a crazy scenario." "It all comes from the idea that the East took over the West." "We build a wall around all of Germany." "There are only two kinds of cars, no ads, and no colors." "And people always have to queue up." "What's the plot of the film?" "We don't have a conventional plot like you know from television." "It's more experimental." "It's all introspective hallucinations of the protagonist." "Here comes Till, my producer." "How are you?" "Come here." "This is my producer and best friend." "Till, Florian." "Florian." "Hello." "Florian." "Petronella." "And I'm Andreas, by the way." "This is how it goes:" "I write the script, which Till reworks and prepares the whole production, then I rework it again and direct." "How many films have you made?" "It's our first." "Why?" "There you are!" "Hello." "Florian!" "Micky!" "How long have you been in Berlin?" "Not long." "You know each other?" "From Aachen." "You're from Aachen too?" "Yes." "Some songs to remind you of old times." "Hey, hey!" "So, you've met our new roommate!" "Day after tomorrow he takes your room." "When was that decided?" "Just now, in the kitchen." "Went fast." "Yes." "I always wanted to live with a gay guy." "I'm not gay." "You can still move in." "Thanks." "You fell for it." "Ay, ay, tequila!" "Micky, when are you making a tape for me?" "It's only 1 2:30." "I don't know what would be better." "If he comes or not?" "Why does he do it?" "I don't get it." "And why can't I get him out of my head?" "What should I do?" "I'll get you some more wine." "I thought I might stay a year." "If I like it and find a job, we'll see, maybe longer." "Micky, wait." "What does she do?" "Decorates clubs." "What?" "She makes light installations and welds metal furniture." "I'm glad to get out of here." "She's beautiful." "Forget it." "She's as good as married." "Four years together and still happy." "With the guy she came in with?" "Exactly." "Enviable." "What does he do?" "Film school in Babelsberg." "Uiii." "What?" "To have the courage to leave it all behind." "Come on." "No, really, not everyone's that brave." "She welds furniture." "She's cool." "I hate that word." "Ask me to hang around while you flirt with somebody again, and it'll be my turn to be the asshole." "He was so straight." "White socks!" "He's here." "Where?" "Kitchen." "Someone'll blow you at Tom's." "Why not yell it louder." "Like anybody cares ..." "Hello!" "Hi." "Who was that?" "You know him?" "Calm down." "Have you been with him?" "He's not even bad looking!" "Hi." "Come on!" "You make furniture?" "Yes." "From metal?" "Yes." "Me, too." "I make furniture too, but out of wood." "Have you seen Andreas?" "He drives me mad." "Judith!" "What a surprise." "Why?" "I was invited." "What's up?" "I'll find a way to get home." "My God, I've got other friends, too." "I thought we were more than friends." "Yes, we have sex with each other, too." "So that's how you see it?" "Oh Judith, please." "I didn't call for a few days, but now I'm here." "I always told you" "I'm not the kind who calls every day." "You make it so easy for yourself!" "Maybe you make it hard for yourself." "I called." "You could've called back to see what's up." "I had no time." "That's the sad part." "I'm sorry." "You knew what you were getting into." "Yes." "... I can prove it to you." "Take me with you," "Take me with you," "Take me with you, Tommy boy!" "On Love's adventure and all of that ..." "I can tell it'll be great, it'll be double, even triple great   with you to guide me ..." "I imagine the possibilities," "North pole, South pole, city, or beach." "But the beach, with all that sand, maybe it's better on the land ..." "My dog looks so sad nowadays, always inside, we never go out." "Always waiting for the phone to ring, and someone to invite us on a round-the-world trip." "Take me with you!" "Take me with you!" "Take me with you, Tommy boy!" "on Love's adventure and all of that ..." "No way it couldn't have worked." "I'm always lucky with these machines." "Cool lighter!" "Can I see it?" "Sweet." "You can keep it." "I have a whole box at home." "I don't smoke." "It could come in handy." "You got a girlfriend?" "Not anymore." "There you go." "Has it been over a long time?" "Seven months." "Quite a while." "It's all relative." "Hmm, relative." "Not everything." "How do you like Berlin?" "A little overwhelming." "You get used to it." "So this is Prenzlauer Berg?" "Yes, why?" "I don't know." "You hear so much about the East, and now ..." "You can't find it, sure." "Don't worry, it's there." "Have you noticed that the streetlights in East Berlin are a different color?" "What?" "You're teasing me." "No." "It's yellower, light orange, not so cold." "If you want to get to know the East you can come and visit me." "Where do you live?" "My workshop is in Potsdam." "That's East as well." "You idiot." "So, one, two ..." "Hey!" "Listen, where is   the third page?" " Sandra's doing the camera." " The fourth's missing, too." " Damn." " Production design ..." "Where is the page?" "It'd be good to have a name there." "You said you know somebody." "I put a number on the table for you." "You think that guy's okay?" "Sure, he's super professional." "Professional?" "He wanted a script and couldn't believe we don't have one yet." "And he's not the only one." "It'd make the money stuff much easier if you'd finally write one instead of just drawing storyboards!" "Till, don't panic." "Stay cool." "I'll do it next week, it'll be a snap." "Hopefully." "I don't want to have to send the application in the last second." "Hey!" "You found it." "Wow." "Brilliant!" "It's not my idea." "I saw something like it in London." "Doesn't matter." "Everything's stolen from somewhere, right?" "I'll change, then we can go." "What's it like to sleep with a man?" "I mean, as a man." "Not much different than with a woman." "Why isn't a woman enough then?" "Oh, Judith." "How many men have you slept with since we've ... been friends?" "What do you want to hear now?" "Five, ten, fifteen?" "I just want to hear the truth." "It's none of your business." "Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth?" "Just say it and it's done." "It was all safe, what I did." "That's not the point." "So, how many?" "Seven, maybe eight." "Maybe." "My God, they weren't important." "Eight." "And how many did you spend the night with?" "Four or five." "Here in this bed?" "Oh Judith." "And was it good?" "Yes!" "Yes, it was good." "You wanted to know." "Why do you ask such fucked-up questions?" "We got a postcard from Roland." "From Bombay." "This was my place, right here." "And the boss sat there." "Hello?" "Did I wake you up?" "No, I'm getting coal from the cellar." "You're still heating?" "In the bathroom." "It was Florian's turn to get coal." "How is it going with him?" "We separate our trash now, but it's still as messy as before." "I thought he'd be more domesticated." "What are you doing tonight?" "I'm beat." "I had my stressful university day." ""Stressful university day?"" "Yeah, I have to get up super early and study till three." "When did you get up?" "At nine." "I have to be there at ten." "Petronella!" "?" "Florian!" "?" "Florian!" "?" "Florian!" "?" "And you know what he said to me?" ""Your arguments are correct on an emotional level, but they are not sociological at all."" "I had no idea what he meant." "I've studied sociology for 2 years, and I have no idea what a sociological argument even is." "So I decided to change majors." "To psychology?" "It's better for me." "I can transfer a couple of credits so it wasn't all in vain." "And what do you do with a psychology degree?" "No idea, I didn't know for sociology either." "Tell me about Petronella." "The tuna one is super, as good as "Dr Oetker's"" "and it costs one Euro less." "What do you want to know?" "Everything." "She makes things from light and metal, comes from the East," "has been with Till for four years, who she's much too good for, and is damned good-looking." "I know all that already." "One for you, one for me, one for Judith." "What else do we need?" "You made a shopping list." "I left it at home." "Tell me something I don't know." "Wait, we need a running total." "You got money?" "I gave it all to you." "So far, it's 24 Euros and 70 cents." "Already?" "Then we'll put some stuff back." "Did you do the wine yet?" "We need this for sure." "Did you pack anything that we don't really need?" "Refund, register six!" "Look, a dog!" "That's what they're called." "How sweet!" "She likes Indian food, batura and mango lassi and that stuff." "I want a dog, too." "You gotta walk it all the time, and take it everywhere." "That's annoying." "But they're always faithful." "Yes!" "What a responsibility." "Lukas walks   forward slowly." "Shit!" "Hello?" "Hi Micky." "Nope, no way I can tonight." "I gotta do this script." "It's super important." "I promised Till." "Right, for the funding." "No, I have to be strict about this." "Sorry, no chance." "See you, have a good one." "Bye!" "So, Lukas walks forward slowly." "Lukas walks forwards slowly." "So, hmm ..." "Lukas walks forward slowly." "Where's the telephone?" "I got it already." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hi, Pit, it's Florian." "I was wondering what you're doing tonight." "It'd be great to see you again." "Hello, it's me." "If you get home in the next hour, you can call me." "Bye." "... and the size of the cages for each species." "By next year ..." "I'm going out." "You want to come?" "... don't meet the standard." "Taking stock in Berlin." "The lion's roar sounds dramatic, ein Klageruf scheint es zu sein, a plaintive cry over the Berlin Zoo ..." "Twenty three ..." "Yes, hello?" "Hi, Micky." "Don't try to change my mind." "I know what I'm doing is stupid." "Yes, he's here." "Hello." "Hi." "No, not today." "Shit, man!" "Hi Micky, it's Andreas." "Shit!" "Shit, shit, shit." "It was my father's birthday yesterday and I forgot to call." "I bet I was the only one who forgot." "It's not so bad." "Call him and tell him how busy you are." "I know what he's gonna say," ""You take our money, but otherwise you don't care."" "Well, it's true." "Call him tomorrow and it'll be fine." "Read to me?" "You'll fall asleep." "I like falling asleep while you read to me." "Herzog, the dominatrix, man." "The school paper, "Dominatrix Doll."" "That's why she didn't come to the ball." "Herzog hated me." "Latin was the only class where I got straight D's." "But somehow, even so ..." "Don't you sometimes wish we were back at school?" "With the old crowd?" "I never want to go back to Aachen, and you neither." "You wanted out as much as we all did." "Yeah, but here ..." "People expect so much from you." "Who expects what from you?" "Micky, think about it." "30 years ago, film making was special." "I mean, nowadays, every idiot out there has tried to make a movie." "So?" "You always wanted to make films." "As long as I've known you." "Till only became part of it later." "Hello." "Hallo." "You want some gum?" "Sure." "Me, too." "You got any?" "No." "Are you on your own?" "With friends." "Are you gay?" "Nope." "I have lots of gum at home." "Lots, and lots of colors." "You gotta cut lengthways." "If you cut across the arteries, it's too easy to sew you up." "I'd take pills anyway." "Too unreliable." "My sister's girlfriend tried it." "It's really nasty to have your stomach pumped." "You have a sister?" "You know I do." "You're right, sure." "I always think you're an only child." "Why?" "I dunno." "Hey, Micky, you asshole!" "If you fall from up there you've had it." "I'd get a pistol or some kind of gun, stick it in my mouth, and shoot." "Quick and easy." "I wonder if you hear the bang?" "What do you think is faster, the bullet or the sound?" "No idea." "Let's get going." "Listen, it was great." "Really." "But I can't sleep with a stranger next to me." "Are you throwing me out?" "Yes ... yes." "It's nothing personal." "I'll give you cab money, okay?" "It's okay." "Pity." "It's always been like that for me, and I have to work tomorrow." "Morning." "You're already awake?" "Today's my stressful university day." "I thought that was Tuesdays?" "Not anymore." "Now that I study psychology, it's Thursday." "Where are you going?" "I have to make an important visit." "I always told you he was an asshole." "Wish me luck, huh?" "Hi." "Am I disturbing you?" "Come in." "How are you?" "Up and down." "You got plans for tonight?" "Carsten, please." "We could go out to eat." "What do you think?" "What are you playing at, Carsten?" "Why don't you ever call when you say you will?" "And why do you act like you want to get rid of me, but when I'm around, you pretend that everything is great?" "I don't understand you." "You don't understand me?" "I don't know what I should say." "And I don't know how to be free of you." "May I?" "Breakfast?" "Yes." "You want scrambled eggs, or fried?" "Fried." "Do you have any bread around?" "Yes, in my room." "I got hungry last night." "Hi." "Where's Carsten?" "You wretched asshole!" "What's going on in your sick head?" "What do you want from me?" "What do you want from me?" "And then panic broke out and everybody went crazy and started to melt at the same time." "It was totally crazy and" "Benny and I had to get up the hill ..." "Benny?" "Mein Hund." "The dog in my dreams." "We knew the hill was safe, and I had Benny in my arms, 'cause his foot was hurt or something." "We ran up the hill, and I suddenly felt my hands sinking into his body." "it was like ... into clay." "He was all distorted and his eyes, as they pleaded, melted and ran out of his eye sockets." "It was horrible." "And then I woke up." "I think it was the worst dream I ever had." "What did you dream last night?" "Thank you." "At least you know now that he's not worth it." "Andreas?" "Where are you?" "I'm on my way." "Are you still at home?" "What is that noise?" "Subway!" "Andreas!" "See you soon." "And here ... in the roofed-in courtyard, is a well." "You can draw your own water." "I'll show you the plans." "Yeah," "I can't really picture that in the middle of the city." "I'm going to the museum tomorrow, want to come?" "Yes, but not tomorrow." "We could go at the end of the week." "Okay." "I've gotta go." "Yes." "Heyyy!" "?" "Please, we need it postmarked today." "I don't know if I can manage this for a whole week." "It's delicious." "It's healthy." "Your whole body will be cleansed, down to your pores." "Should I send the photos to the agency first?" "Or to you?" "Yes." "Can I call you later?" "Thanks." "Thank you." "Hi." "Come in." "I'm in a hurry, but ..." "I've fallen in love." "Congratulations." "She has a boyfriend." "Ouch." "But she's really special." "Green or red bow?" "Hello?" "I'm telling you something." "I'm listening." ""She is really special."" "What's up with you?" "I'm in a hurry." "Since I came here you've been doing that show." "What show?" "The "I'm so cool" show." "What?" "I have the feeling you're trying your best to be superficial." "You don't know me at all." "We were best friends." "Yes." "That was long ago." "Not so long." "Since I arrived you've been avoiding me." "Nonsense!" "Listen, everything that happened before Berlin is a closed book, okay?" "What does that mean?" "It means you can't show up after 3 years and pretend it's all the same!" "und denken kannst, alles wäre so wie früher!" "I'm not doing that." "We can be good friends anyway." "I really have to go." "Pit!" "My God!" "Like you said, I've changed." ""Dear Mr. Brandauer," "Please find the enclosed script for a short film." "It deals with a current topic:" "understanding between East and West."" "No, that's way too political." "Good, then we'll start another way." ""Dear Mr. Brandauer, we are two young and ambitious Berlin film-makers."" "No, no." "That's better." "More personal." "We can just write," Dear Klaus."" "I'm outta here." "Where are you going?" "I'm meeting Florian at the junkyard." "Bye." "So, "Dear Mr. Brandauer ..."" "She's seeing this Florian a lot." "Yeah, why?" "Nothing." "Careful." "It'll never hold." "Don't be so negative." "Hey!" "Hi." "Didn't expect to see me again, huh?" "Say, could you bring us to ..." "Can I drive you somewhere?" " That'd be great." " No thanks." "What's in there?" "It's a surprise." "Hello, it's me." "I just wanted to ask how you're doing." "I'm thinking of you." "What's in here?" "It's a present for Carsten." "But you should open it later." "Okay?" "Promise me something?" "Sure." "When the situation gets to be too much, with us, I mean ..." "Tell me in time, okay?" "Why do have to start this now?" "Just tell me okay?" "I don't want to ruin everything." "Sooner or later you'll have to tell him the truth anyway." "But he fell in love with my best girlfriend and they stayed together." "For a year I got to hear about their relationship problems, from both sides." "Can you imagine how it feels to be in love with your best friend?" "No." "Pretty bad." "I mean, we saw each other every day." "And I always just wanted to... touch him." "And he had no idea at all." "Why didn't you tell him?" "It wouldn't have changed anything." "My arm's falling asleep." "Now he's here." "He lived at my place for a while." "I was so afraid that it would all come up again, but... but it wasn't like that." "I saw him and..." "There was nothing." "Nothing at all." "I'm stopping fasting." "It doesn't mix with alcohol." "I only did it out of solidarity." "If it does Judith good, fine, but it's not the right thing for me." "I puked so much last night," "I thought I had emptied myself totally." "Why are you up already?" "I had bad dreams." "It's not easy being a married woman's lover." "What are you talking about?" "How stupid do you think I am?" "I know you're sleeping together." "I mean, we live together." "I do pick things up." "Does Judith know?" "Judith!" "She's much too busy with herself to notice anything else." "Don't worry, I won't tell her anything." "I bet Till doesn't even suspect." "Hello?" "Are you sitting down?" "Yes, I'm working on the script." "Why?" "We got the sponsorship!" "No way!" "Yes!" "25 000!" "It's right here, in black and white." "I don't know how we did it." "Congratulations." "We passed the big hurdle." "I don't believe it." "We can make the film next month!" "Tonight we're gonna party." "Okay." "See you later." "Andreas?" "Our first film together." "Yes." "I'm toying with the idea of changing to theater studies." "Didn't you just change?" "To psychology." "That was a mistake." "Too abstract." "I need something solid." "Theater studies?" "Film and theater studies." "I've always liked the theater, but one never really finds time." "I think I saw your boyfriend." "What was his name?" "Carsten?" "Carsten, right." "At the supermarket." "He was with some guy, I've seen him before, too." "Good looking." "They were in the freezer section." "Interesting." "He had a cool jacket on," "Carsten, I mean." "You know where he got it?" "Actually I haven't seen him for ages." "Oh." "Yes, "oh"." "To the film!" "Just a moment." "To the film!" "A blonde wakes up in a pasture, and sees a cow standing over her, looks at its udder and says:" ""Which of you guys is taking me home?"" "What do 3 gays do with a blonde at night in the park?" "Two hold her down, one does her hair." "I'm tired, can we go?" "No problem." "Already?" "He's got a steady fuck now." "Have a good time." "It'll be tough without you!" "Fuck, what kind of an asshole has he got this time?" "What was that shit just now?" "I wasn't enjoying myself." "It showed." "You were really friendly." "Your friends are boring." "At least I have friends." "... Who tell blonde jokes." "You never have any fun." "You just want to fuck." "Nothing more." "Don't you tell me what I want!" "No, of course, you don't like it when it gets personal." "I don't need this, okay?" "If you don't like it anymore, say so." "Lots of people are happy to fuck me." "Wow, super!" "A real hero!" "Then go and fuck somebody else!" "I'm not gonna stop you." "But ... wether he'll look as good, or fuck you as good as I do ..." "that's the question!" "You piece of shit!" "Fuck!" "I hate this shit!" "Fucking hell!" "Fucking piece of shit!" "Man!" "You know how much money I've lost in these fucking machines?" "It's a fucking conspiracy!" "I'm going out of my mind!" "Do I really need this?" "Honestly, do I really need this?" "Stop!" "There's one!" "Geil, okay." "Cool." "Great." "Okay." "Thank God!" "I have to get up early tomorrow." "I have to work." "No problem, I'm an early bird." "No, I can't sleep with a stranger next to me." "It's nothing personal." "I was always like that." "You want me to go?" "But a stranger can fuck your brains out.That's okay?" "Well, I don't sleep then." "It's the only way." "What if I don't want to go?" "What if I want to stay, and eat breakfast with you tomorrow?" "Then you're dreaming." "I get it." "You just want to get laid." "Just a fuck." "What's wrong with that?" "We only met two hours ago." "Don't make a fool of yourself." "Make a fool of myself?" "Because I don't want to be just some cock?" "Get dressed and leave." "I don't want to leave." "What game are you playing?" "Is this what you want?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Shit!" "Okay, okay, okay!" "I'm leaving." "Have a nice life." "I ... you know ..." "I don't know whether to take this or that for the bar in front." "or that for the bar in front." "I need one for the lounge, too." "Which do you like better?" "You won't leave him, right?" "It bothered me when he put his arm round you." "I didn't think it would, but it does." "It was a bad idea for you to come." "Till invited me." "You could have made up an excuse!" "At the start, it looked like you'd leave him." "But I'm only allowed to fuck you, huh?" "Florian, stop this shit." "You know you mean a lot to me." "Then leave him." "It's not so simple." "Four years is a long time." "So?" "Are you happy?" "I'm content, yes." "That's more than most people can say." "I don't believe in happiness." "Not like you do, anyway." "So?" "How do I believe in it?" "So absolutely." "Hey, Till, how's it going?" "What the fuck is going on?" "I've been calling you for a week." "My answering machine is busted." "It keeps erasing random messages." "Get a new one!" "You want something?" "Coffee?" "Water?" "I want to know what's going on!" "What do you mean?" "Five days ago I told you we have 1 00 things to organize!" "But you never call!" "Listen, Till, about the film ..." "I'm pulling out." "What?" "I've thought it all over again." "What do you mean, thought it over?" "Yes, I have, and I want out of the project." "I'm not the right guy for the job." "Maybe in a year or two, who knows?" "We've worked on this for over a year!" "It's your script!" "Man, I busted my ass, so that you ... so that we could make this film!" "You can't just pull out!" "I just need some time." "I've never done this before." "That's the whole point!" "So you can finally do it!" "Nobody's expecting a miracle." "I'm out." "Sorry." "Don't let the water run." "I need it." "I gotta get in the bathroom too." "Great." "That's Micky." "I'm going in Pit's car anyway." "Roland." "Hi." "Well ... come in." "Did you just arrive?" "Yes." "We wanted to drive to Potsdam." "Petronella decorated a club and it's opening today." "How was it?" "Nice." "They didn't have the red ones." "I brought you this one." "Are you coming tonight?" "How long do you want to keep this up?" "You can't just stay in your room forever." "You're coming tonight." "Andreas stood me up." "Where?" "For the film." "He said he's not doing it." "But that's all he ever talks about." "I know." "He's totally confused." "But I'm going to go through with it." "I'll get a director from the film school." "This film will be made." "Where are you going?" "The opening is today." "Shit." "I didn't know where you were, so I'm going with Florian and his friend." "Are you coming?" "I would just be in the way." "Are you sleeping with him?" "With who?" "With who?" "Florian." "Don't be silly." "We hardly see each other." "You're always with him." "I'm sick of it." "You know what I'm sick of?" "That everybody thinks we're the happy dream-couple." "We're not." "Not anymore." "What is up with all of you today?" "Listen, I'm late." "Let's talk tomorrow, okay?" "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!" "Are you crazy?" "Chips, Chips, Chips." "It's so German here." "There's Petronella." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "Earning money." "Let's drink to that." "Where is Till?" "He couldn't come." "Two tequilas." "Two tequilas." "When did you get back?" "A few hours ago." "What'll you have?" "A beer." "Me, too." "Didn't you want to stay away longer?" "Well, I'm back now." "Where are you living?" "What?" "Where are you living now?" "Hi." "Hello!" "It's still the same one." "Must be something serious." "Don't know." "You never know." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "Can't you at least introduce us now?" "Pit." "Judith." "Hello." "What's up?" "I don't know, I have a bad feeling right now." "Things are starting to get complicated." "Just make a decision." "Then I was in Bombay for two weeks." "Shocking city." "You can't even imagine." "Then down the coast," "Sri Lanka, Calcutta, Bangladesh." "And?" "Was it really different than here?" "Different." "Yes." "I think that was the problem, actually." "I tell you, it's crazy." "The graphics are amazing." "It's a stroke of genius." "The whole castle shoots into the air, just like that." "Hi, Andreas." "Hello." "The decor is fantastic." "Respect." "Is Till here, too?" "No, he's really busy with a short fim." "The director bagged out on him." "I'm not proud of myself." "I just don't get it." "And what do you want to do now?" "Her boyfriend has a software company." "I can have a job there." "Doing what?" "Computer game tester." "Maybe I can get get into management later." "Who knows?" "Do you love him?" "Yes." "Have you told him?" "No." "And I won't either." "how they're kissing and hugging ..." "Then I imagine them going home." "And probably having terrible sex." "I'm 25, Florian." "I've never had a steady relationship." "It'll come." "Maybe some people are meant to be alone their whole lives." "Rubbish, you'll find the right one someday." "I envy Till and Petronella." "They wake up beside somebody every day." "Petronella is thinking of leaving Till." "What?" "Where did you hear that?" "She told me herself." "You?" "Yes, me." "I've been having an affair with her for the last four months." "With who?" "With Petronella." "What?" "You see, the relationship isn't as stable as you think." "You're crazy." "You never did that." "What?" "Slept with her." "Sure I did." "Pretty often." "She has a boyfriend." "You don't have to tell me." "Four months?" "So?" "Why are you telling me now?" "To show you that Till and Petronella's relationship isn't as great as everyone thinks." "To help your confidence." "Asshole!" "What's all this morality stuff?" "It was perfect." "They were in love." "Who knows?" "Don't know." "Anke for sure." "Judith?" "Don't know." "There are no secrets when you live together." "I don't care if everybody knows." "We partied at their place, and it was all just a front!" "That's why I'm telling you." "You are all so ..." "Why is it so easy for you all?" "How does that work?" "I feel like shit." "Why won't she leave him?" "Like I said, she's thinking about it, but she's afraid." "The self-confident, oh-so-superior Petronella is afraid." "You have the wrong impression of her." "I think so, too." "They took Kati's kid away." "Who did?" "Her brother Markus and Charlotte took it away." "Markus is her brother?" "They didn't know when they slept together." "You can stay in the apartment." "I'm moving to West Berlin." "I've had it with the East." "If you miss two episodes you're totally out of the picture." "I hate that." "Great, I can lie down." "Look how it all whizzes by." "What kind of place are we going to?" "Some basement club where they play awful music." "Now we're on the highway, it's all racing by even faster." "What's the entry cost?" "At this hour, probably nothing." "There are the others." "You can feel so much back here even though you can't see much at all." "Go!" "We'll get 'em." "How many bridges do we cross under?" "Man, 1 20 in the Renault feels like 200." "Cross under?" "Can you say that?" "Go!" "We can get 'em!" "We won't let a Renault Rapid pass us." "Especially not a blue one." "If you see a drive-through," "I'm still hungry." "A Big Mac would be great." "Stop it!" "Micky." "You're such idiots!" "Fuck!" "You can do this when you're alone!" "Careful, Judith!" "Wow, we lost them." "Now drive slower." "That was close with that truck." "Look at the sky!" "Would you please stop driving so fast?" "It's gonna be a great day." "Micky, fucking stop this shit!" "Micky!" "Micky!" "Yes, hello?" "Hello, Judith." "What?" "What?" "How is she?" "They won't tell us anything." "Just that she's in critical condition." "That's the one you told me about, right?" "Shit!" "Florian ... we ..." "We can only ..." "It'll be okay." "Pit, what do you know?" "You think I'm not afraid?" "Carsten was in that car, too." "I'm sorry." "We couldn't save her." "An allergic reaction of the scalp?" "You'll have to describe that better ..." "Please hold one moment, very kind ..." "Housewives!" "I'm going to the hospital to visit Micky." "You coming?" "You haven't visited him once since he's been there." "Judith." "Maybe he'll wake up someday." "I think it would be better for him if he never woke up." "You haven't heard from Till, have you?" "Not since the funeral." "You know, I can't just go on like before." "A brush with death like that is ..." "I can't just go back to school and talk about Sophocles and Euripides and shit." "Yes." "And what are you going to do?" "Learn glass-blowing in Kassel." "In Kassel?" "!" "My aunt lives there." "She can get me a job there." "Is that Till over there?" "No." "I've gotta go." "I've gotta bring my brother some stuff." "Okay, bye." "Hi." "Hey." "Come on, let's have a drink." "No, I don't have time." "I have a million things to do for the film." "You're doing it?" "Of course I'm doing it." "I've got the money together and we start filming in two weeks." "We spoke on the phone." "About the ad." "I can't." "Just a little more." "You can do it." "You see?" "Oh, thank you." "Have a nice day." "Good day." "Congratulations!" "Come, please." "You are our 1 0 millionth visitor and it's our great honor to present you with these gifts:" "a portable television, a world first, and a wonderful gift basket!" "Just one photo, over here, please." "This way ..."
