"OF GIRLS AND HORSES" "Gallop gallop." "Come on." "And trot." "Easy..." "That's it." "Trot." "That's it, yes." "And walk on." "And walk on." "Hello, Nina." "Could you come over here?" "It's about the intern." "You'd better read through it." "I don't know waht it's about." " Will you take care of it?" " Okay." " A letter from her mother?" " Yes." " Alexa?" " Alex." "Alex." "Okay." "You're kind of late." "Do you like horses?" "Yeah." "Ever been on one?" "Nah." "Looking for something?" "Cigarettes." "Forget it." "Could you pick some up somewhere?" "We can." "I need to shop anyway." "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No, a girlfriend." "Forget it." "The signal is weak here." "Come on." "I'll show you your room." "And you can stub that out." "No somoking inside." "Hey!" "Cool flag." " I brought you something warm to wear." " Thanks." "Shit." "Your job for the next few weeks." "Have fun." "Enough?" "Enough." "Good." ""Said to have taken drugs and sold them..."" ""Please call me if Alexa causes trouble..."" ""Regards from Hanover." "Yours, Doris Platten"." "She likes an easy life, that Ms. Platten." "Don't grab the horse here." "It's almost as if I were todo do this and grab you away." "Okay?" "Give me your hand." "This one." "Yes." "If I drag you like this..." " What's it like?" " Shit." "Right." "So..." "With a horse we use body language." "Like this." "So you know where I want you." "I can turn you like this." "Let the energy out and bring you in or built it up and send you away." "Or ease up and pull you..." "Alex!" "I'm not a horse!" "You try and lead, okay?" "Make sure she doesn't step on it." "Look where you're going..." "Right and keep to her shoulder." "She's already pushing you." "Build up some energy." "Right, now if you give her some slack..." "Remember, breathe out, loosen up." "Then she stands and looks and then comes over." "Take a few steps." "Want to ride her?" "Okay." "Now stop her." " Did you let the energy out?" " Yes." "Yes?" "I didn't see." "Okay, come here." "Take hold here, it won't hurt her." "All right?" "Now close your eyes, feel the horse's movements." " How does it feel?" " Like sex." "Right, just go with it." "Don't be afraid, I'm here." " Want to give her some?" " Yes." "Super." "That's right." "Good girl." "Sorry, it's unusual to get a signal." "I'm busy right now..." "Let's do it another time, okay?" "Alex!" "Get up, Alex." "It's gone seven." "Five more minutes." "Not five more minutes, the horses won't feed themselves." "Wait, I will show you." "Keep the buckle facing left and this at the back then pull it across his nose" "and carefully over his ears." "Then fasten it." "Your turn." "Long strokes, that's what he likes best." "Our new holiday guest is here." "With her horse." "I'll be right back." " Kathy." " Welcome." "This way." "So, everything fine?" "Yes, seems that way." "You made the trip all right, huh?" "She gets fed three times a day, you told me... what she eats." "What happened here?" " She hit her head on the way." " I have just the thing." "One second." "You muck out now, okay, while we're in the hall." "Yes!" "What are you using?" "A special ointment from our vet." "His own secret recipe." "It really helps." "You'll see." "Do you know where I can go for a ride?" "I'll show you." "You can go along the lake you can go to Rickelsbül Polder." " Let's do the first ride together." " Sure." "Let's check her movement." "Slowly pull in the reins." "Relax your bottom." " Do you ride her without a saddle?" " No." "Let's try soon." "And trot." "Head straight." "Super." "Her gait is just fine." "The ground's a bit hard." "She needs to get used to it." "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to sleep near her." "Do you sleep by your horse?" "Yes, she was so nervous earlier on." "She's not used to it here." " What's your name again?" " Kathy." " And yours?" " Alex." "And that's your horse, right?" " How much did she cost?" " I have no idea." "My dad gave her to me." "Your dad gives you presents like that?" "Yes." "Doesn't yours give you anything?" "I don't have one." "And what are you doing here?" "A shitty intership." "My mom made me." "She's sweet." "Well, I'd better be...going because..." "Nina is bugging me." "I just wanted to..." "Have a look at your horse." "Bye." "That's the Rickelsbüll Polder." "It reaches to the Hindenburg Dam." "In 1610 the whole village of Rickelsbüll went under." "You sometimes hear the church bells at night." " You've heard them?" " I thought so." "What now?" " Needs cleaning out." " Not again!" " Should I get the front?" " No." "Get the other." "If he drives too fast it gets blocked up." "Wait for me!" " Nina, want a beer?" " No, thanks." "I don't drink beer." "Anything left to eat?" "Hey sweetie I can't hear you, hang on..." "God, this village is dull!" "Shut your trap." "You have no idea." "Leave her alone." "It's a shit party, anyway." "See you, stupid intern!" " You're such bitches." " We're not." "Please, speak more slowly." "I don't understand." "Do you speak English?" "Okay, I surrender." "Just look at me." "Help me." "Why are you learning Brazilian?" "Because... my mother is from Brazil." "And I want to to there and find her." "Don't you leave with your real mother?" "No." "With my adoptive mother." "Close your eyes." " Why?" "Close them." "We're playing a game." "Don't look!" "You have to guess what I'm writing." "Brazil." "Okay, something harder." "You're still covered in hay." "Okay, close your eyes." " No idea." " Chemistry." "Your turn." " Horse." " Yes." "I've got it, wait." " What have you done?" " Why do you care?" "Now some gymnastics to loosen up." "Raise your right knee and touch it with your left elbow." "Now the other side." "Very good." "Keep your legs extended." "Let's try again." "Trot, come on." "Wake up!" "I´ll fall off." " What?" " I'm almost falling off." "No way." "Let your hips swing." "Relax." " I'm not relaxed." " Almost." "Now you're relaxed." "You see?" "Warpaint." "My whole ass is wet." "God!" "You mud monster!" "Tastes good?" "Who cares?" "I'll just leave it." "She always leans to one side." "Try not to watch her legs." "Concetrate." "Alex, no smoking in the hall!" "She's a real sweetie." "You okay?" "One, two, three." " How does it feel?" " Big." "Try lying forwards." " Well?" " It´s strange because she is so big." "Do you want to try lying backwards?" "Let your arms hang down." " How does the roof look?" " Pretty dirty." "Will you come home at the weekend?" " Coming for a smoke?" " I don't smoke." "You can keep me company." "I want to study." "Whatever." "I need to speak to you." "Stub out the joint." "If the Hansens smell it, you're for it." "Do you stole my pills and swapped them for grass, right?" "You might at least admit it." "I was out of pocket money and needed grass." "Listen up." "This here is your last chance, right?" "You do well with the horses, I don't want to tell the Hansens." "But you've got to promise you'll quit this shit." "Don't you like it here?" "I do." "If this happens again, you're out." "Look at me." "They take their time all right." " What shall we get?" " Who knows?" " These?" " Yes, they're cool." "Marshmallows?" "But which?" "There are so many." "Multi-coloured, huh?" "Anything else?" "I love peanut flips." " Bacardi?" " No way." "Vodka." " That looks good." " Did you see the price?" "Here." "Cheap...and very strong." "Strong is always good." "The Hansens are back tomorrow night, I'll be back by Monday." "Nina, hurry, you'll miss your train." "Do you know what to do, right?" "You explained everything already." " Take care." " And don't worry." "Bye." "Have fun with Christine!" "We're counting on you." " I dare you to jump." " No." " You?" "No." "King Kong." " Me King Kong." "You Jane." " No, that's Tarzan." "God, you scare me." " Will she end up all white?" " I think so." "Will you turn white?" "No, she won't." "I need a smoke." "Come on." "Yes." "Come on." "Wicked, huh?" " No." " It is so." "So what?" "It's enough for now." "I want the horse." "I like donkeys anyway." "Drink!" "Wonderful!" "Wonderful!" "You're doing well." "You're a good pupil." "Don't you know how much it cost?" "I'm a horse." "Don't snort." "Galopp." "Trot." "And...walk on." "I'll drink to that." "Next week Carmina and I go home." "Why?" "The hollidays are over." "That's crap." "I asked around..." "They're looking got trainees." "They'd take you if you want." "Really?" " And what would I do there?" " Same as you do here." "Where would I sleep?" "There are rooms above the riding hall." " And I only live five minutes away." " Cool." " Can I do more riding too?" " Sure." "Cool" "We forgot to feed the horses." "Too bad." "Why the detour?" "To get you used to town life... country bumpkin." "Will you give Sissi a bit more?" "Yes, she never gets her share." "What's up?" "I'm dizzy." "Pumpkin, come here." "Can you walk?" " Everything okay?" " Uh-huh." "I'll get you something." "How long will you stay there?" "It's not like it pays" "You know it's not about the money." "It's the only place I can chill out." " Are we celebrating something?" " Yes." " The publishing house!" " Yes." "I got the book contract." " Congratulations." " Thanks." "I'm so stupid I didn't even ask!" "God, I missed you." "Kathy." "The horses are gone." "We forgot to lock the stable." "Come on!" "The horses have bolted." " What?" " The horses are gone." "Come on." " There they ar." " Two of them, at least." " Can you see the others?" " No." " Should I take the bucket?" " No, it's ok." "Christ!" "Any idea where else to look?" "None at all." "Nina will go crazy." "Not just, Nina." "The farmers, too." "Put the halter on." " Oh, shit." " What?" "Look at her leg." " You see that?" " Shit." "What now?" "I don't know." "I'll take her inside... to get a proper look." "You take Cornetto to the field." " How's it looking?" " Not too good." " Is there anything still in there?" " I can't really see." "Wait, I'll spray some more." " And now?" " We bandage it." "Should we call Nina?" "Yes." "I'll call in a sec." "What do we tell her?" "Nothing." "Let it ring." "What?" "How did it happen?" "Okay, put her in the stable." "I´ll get the next train." "What's wrong?" "The girls screwed up." "Sissi is injured." "They'll manage." "But we were going to vote." "Merkel will win, anyway." " Is she back there?" " Yes, in the stable." "We disinfected already." "It had to be the little one!" "How did it happen?" "I've no idea." "Well, let's take a look." "We're in luck." "It's not swollen or hot." "Everything is fine." "Anything else to tell me?" "Nope." " How was it?" " Awesome." "Hey baby." "Hello, Christine." "Yes, it's fabulous." "You come along next time, okay?" "Love you too." "Won't you give your girlfriend a ride?" "You want to?" "Will you sit behind me?" "So, is that offer from your riding stable still open?" "Sure." "Ok, then..." "Then, I'll came with you to Berlin." "Cool." "I'll love it."
