"Breaking the surface" "The light reminds me of Friedrich, the composition of Carter, the choice of objects is Newton, but I haven't given up all hope of seeing something original from you, Mr. Kreuzer." "Nadja..." "How did you get in with Subs magazine?" "Had they seen your work?" "I just submitted." "Did you know anyone there?" "No." "I'm glad, Ms. Grob that you're not only attending our class in time for the break," "I'd appreciate it even more if you turned your attention to your fellow students' theses subjects, which you yourself have yet to turn in." "See you all at half past eleven." "Do we know each other?" "Don't know." "I've seen you before." "What are you smiling at?" "It's been my birthday, for two minutes." "How old are you?" "Twenty!" "I hope you have a great birthday." "Do you want to stay the night?" "No." "I have to get up in three hours." "What's this pendant?" "I don't have a clue." "You don't know?" "Yeah, but I like it." "I never take it off." "Sure you don't want to come up with me?" "Good taste!" "What are you doing here?" "Wow, they made it really big." "Yeah, it's pretty unusual." "Maybe I'll get the photo spread soon." "What does it depend on?" "Hold on!" "Thirty Euro." "Ms. Gross, did you hear Adamo is in town." "Ah, the photographer!" "Hello!" "Look at this!" "My daughter took it." "Nice..." "I'll drop off new pictures tomorrow." "And if Marco likes them, who knows..." "Enjoy the blankets!" "Thanks." "I gotta go, to pick up the new prints." "Are you coming over for my birthday?" "We'll have a barbecue." "Anyway, if you're coming next week, I'll show you the new stove." "Kadasch finally installed it." "Matches perfectly." "How's it going with Kadasch?" "How should it be going?" "We also have new products here." "Take a look!" "See you later, Mom." "Hey Nadja!" "I met somebody, who has no fear." "Like me." "I look up to you and think "Wow!" "What a woman. "" "You have a power, I haven't felt before." "It's killing me." "Ms. Nadja, in the following eighty minutes you'll hear a part of Darius." "And I hope, you will call." "Hello, it's Nadja." "Sorry." "Do you always do that?" "Only when I'm nervous." "Do you have to work today?" "Yes." " When?" "At eleven." "Where do you have to go?" "I've got to deliver those pictures." "I just started working for this magazine." "Do you know Subs?" " Yes!" "...to give you strength" "for the day." "Oh." "Come in!" "We're done." "Pretty interesting." "Thanks a lot." "We'll see if we have something." "Cool." "Looking forward to hearing from you." "Definitely." "Bye." "Nadja, what did you bring me?" "Don't you have others?" "You can hardly see his head." "Lippmann?" "I'll give you a call." "Gone." "Now she's gone." "And again I am alone." "Alone." "How'd it go?" "Nadja!" "Nadja!" "Are you okay?" "Are you hurt?" "Everything's fine." "Come on, get up!" "I'll take you home." "I just wanna sit for a sec." "Come on, let's go..." "Nadja!" "I don't have anything with me." "I finished my period yesterday and I don't have AIDS either." "I am drowning..." "Ever since she came back from the clinic, the little Schulze girl sits on the wall all the time." "What kind of clinic?" "I didn't know that." "Well, you're not around very often." "I'm glad that you made it today." "Happy birthday, Mom." "Thanks." "What happened there?" "I think I have a new boyfriend." "Does he beat you?" "Don't be silly!" "I ran into a tree." "Kadasch!" "Get some Mobliat." "I don't need any, Mom." "It's on the nightstand." "Why didn't you bring your boyfriend?" "He is busy." "He's doing civil service." "What are you doing with someone like that?" "Light the fire starters first!" "Guess who called today!" "?" "Three guesses." "On my birthday, no less." "Why doesn't he admit that he's having an affair with her?" "!" "I'm getting the chicken wings." "Good morning." "Yes?" "Sure." "I'll be there." "That was Marco, my editor." "I have to go to the office." "No time for breakfast?" "It depends on what's for breakfast." "Is Marie your ex?" "Yes." "Why aren't you together anymore?" "Because she cried all the time." "Why?" "She just did." "You don't just cry." "What do I know?" "She was clingy." "What's wrong?" "You must have had something to do with it, too." "Nadja!" "They liked it." "They were thrilled." "They think it's a great marketing strategy." "The photo spread is yours." "I have the photo spread." "So I will shoot the girls from my street." "You better leave her alone!" "I'll be up later, Mom." "Okay." "Shit, it's ruined." "What's with the sleeping bag?" "I gotta pee bad." "Tough luck." "Then you have to come with me." "What would you say, if I asked you to marry me?" "Why don't you just ask?" "Just a moment, please!" "Okay." "Ah." "Is this your photo spread?" "You'll see." "There aren't any of your pictures." "Look!" "Nice." "Let's go, okay?" "I've just got to deliver these photos right away." "I thought I was supposed to pick you up?" "We can put your bike in my car and then go together." "I'll drive home first." "I just have to hand in the prints." "It'll only take five minutes." "I'm sick of always having to wait for you!" "I'll drive home now." "I like it." "I like it." "Your style is just great." "Why didn't you choose Nike?" "She has power." "But, does she skate too?" "She's always sitting on the wall listening to music." "She's a good contrast to the others, don't you think?" "Worlds colliding." "Well, I think it's good the way it is." "If you have to have the girl in it, then find something radical." "Something radical!" "Nike is the most radical of all." "But if she doesn't skate..." "That's exactly what's great about her!" "Aren't you listening to me?" "Maybe you are not listening to Marco." "Please give me the deodorant." "I think it smells disgusting." "What?" "Smells like a man." "And that..." "That's disgusting, too." "What's the fucking matter?" "Darius!" "I'll be careful." "It's really soft." "It's always like that." "There's nothing to hear yet." "I can hear it clearly." "Darius!" "You are twenty!" "I don't want a baby." "But it's a symbol of our love." "It really is soft." "I don't know if I should have an abortion." "Are you crazy?" "This guy must have really gotten to you." "I never work at home and Darius would take care of the baby." "Maybe Darius is taking it seriously right now." "But it won't last." "It never lasts." "Want to listen in?" "You look bad today." "Well, I'm pregnant." "Oh!" "But you haven't been raped, have you?" "!" "I love you." "What are we gonna do?" "What are we gonna do, Darius?" "Let's go to sleep, okay?" "I'm sorry." "Well, you already had the counseling." "And everything is signed, too." "Don't you want to think about it once more?" "You still have eight weeks." "And you seem happy together." "Would you please give me the pill?" "Darius?" "Darius, I think this is it." "Do you want to take a look?" "You need to eat something." "Yes?" "Hello Mom!" "I already went to the doctor." "Everything went well." "Yes." "I will." "See you!" "Where is Nike?" "She's been gone for days." "She's probably in the outhouse again." "You look great." "Well." "May I come in?" "Birte will be back in half an hour." "I've seen some of your work in Subs." "Looks like you've made it." "I'm happy for you." "Really." "I work in radio now." "Remember how you made me promise to ask you before I had kids with another woman?" "In case you changed your mind." "You and your weird ideas." "Why didn't our love work, Jakob?" "Nadja..." "Something was always missing for you, too." "Or you wouldn't have had anything to do with other men." "Here." "I actually wanted to send them." "I don't want Birte to find them one day." "Our compromising photos." "I thought you'd like to have them back." "I have the negatives." "If you don't want them, throw 'em away." "What's the problem?" "They just don't work with the others." "She's still not skating, she just hangs around." "It's no good." "If she was skating, she wouldn't be interesting." "She swims against the stream." "The skater girls swim against the stream too." "Or do you know other skater girls?" "I don't." "Isn't that why you wanted them?" "Yes, that's right." "The skater girls are different." "Nike is different in a quiet way." "From the inside." "But, she belongs." "That wasn't our agreement." "What was our agreement?" "I wanted something radical." "Tell me, what's radical?" "The skater girls are good, Nadja." "Let it go!" "Without Nike, the series is nothing." "I won't print the Nike photos." "Nadja, if you leave now, don't bother coming back." "Excuse me." "May I interrupt for a moment?" "Good afternoon Ms. Grob" "How are you?" "I'm fine." "I have a subject for my thesis." "Your matriculation was canceled yesterday." "If there is a profound reason, why you couldn't meet the deadline, please explain it in a letter to the chancellor, in quintuplicate." "Then we'll see." "Please, take a look at my photos and tell me what you think!" "But, the best moment is not there." "I missed it." "You have to go back, to where you believe inside that moment resides." "How will I do that?" "It will never come back." "Nadja, I can't breathe." "Just imagine, we'd never have to surface again" "Wouldn't it be nice?" "Nadja..." "I can't breathe." "I sent in my college applications." "What do you want to study?" "Sports medicine." "If I get accepted, I don't think it will be here." "Then I will come with you." "I was kicked out of college yesterday." "What the hell?" "I missed the deadline." "How did you let that happen?" "That's no reason to cry!" "Pull over!" "Darius?" "Darius!" "Didn't you hear me?" "That was you?" "!" "Well, it was your choice to wait." "You don't come over anymore, even when you know I am feeling bad?" "And you leave me out here in the rain?" "Now you're not even talking to me?" "Let go!" "Sleep with me!" "Gone." "Now she is gone." "And again I am alone." "Alone." "What are you doing here so early?" "Lend me a hand?" "I wanted to see how you're doing." "How should I be?" "I kicked out Kadasch." "He admitted it." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "You look terrible." "Are you 0.k.?" "I'm not working for Subs anymore." "What?" "I thought they were really happy with your work." "They didn't want the photos I wanted." "Nadja!" "You're so stubborn." "I can always work here." "I just realized, I have to take a picture of you." "Of me?" "Dear Mr.." "Chancellor..." "Hey..." "Where are the others?" "Beating up boys." "I tore up your photos." "I freaked out." "Why did you freak out?" "Because I didn't pull it off." "They didn't want to print your pictures." "Now the pictures of the others won't be printed either." "Are you gonna have the baby?" "Why not?" "Good." "Keep going in this direction!" "Ms. Strattmann's brought in an architecture study." "Do you have a new job?" "Marco hired me to do the skater girls spread, which you didn't want."
