"Today everyone sends messages by email or mobile." "But it's not comparable with a real letter." "The postman does his job gladly, because everybody loves letters." "Especially waiting for letters that don't come every day." "Like important messages from the principal." "Others are happy about other things... like exciting movies, that have to be seen alone." "What did you order this time?" "We don't have much time, come in and get back to work!" "There are many things, that only the old fashioned post can deliver." "Like functional household appliances, that make the day more easy." "Watch out, Seb!" "Simple, when a postman takes something out of his bag, everybody is hoping for something special." "Especially mothers from their children." "Who have given up hope, like me." "Then you have to put your hopes in lesser things and just get bills, mostly." "To get post you didn't expect is, by far, the best way to get mail." "...  it's a cordial from the Reverend Mother" "Wait, here is a letter for you from Berlin sent to you by Hans." "Oh, we just telephoned a week ago." "See you." "Good day." "Yes!" "Don't be too greedy, There's enough for everyone left." "Rosi!" "You won't believe me." "Did you win the Lottery?" "No!" "Much better:" "Imagine:" "Hans is going to marry!" "That's not possible!" "Oh very nice." "I don't believe it." "That was very fast." "The last time he was here, he didn't have a girlfriend." "You have to get to know Nicki." "Because we both want to marry in my old hometown." "Like I always imagined it." "We will visit you next week." "I just remembered like he played with Sonja in this court." "And know he want to marry." "Rosi!" "Yes?" "Oh" "He has left something in his nappy..." "Let's go my little baby." "Grandma will take care of you." "Ahh." "Grandma...." "Shouldn't we start to wake Enzo up slowly?" "Winter has finished now." "Nicki!" "You're right, get him out." "Did you pack that grey suit?" "It's in for cleaning." "Why that?" "I've told you to get it for me." "You didn't tell me to!" "I would remember." "You don't listen to me carefully." "Okay, next time we'll put cameras everywhere to prove it." "Starting at the top of this room here." "Nice idea." "But only to prove to you, that you snore like a walrus." "No, I don't!" "I love you anyway." "And my mother will love you without the suit, too." "She knows that we are both..." "Yes, of course." "Look at this, it's like a dream!" "Ha, the trail is longer than the whole church." "Your daughter-in-law is very lucky." "I'm very excited what she looks like." "I am too." "Well, I'm sorry to disturbing you ladies and gentlemen, but just to remind you: this is a bank and... not a coffeehouse." "Well!" "Forget it." "Good day!" "Does Vera need money again for her beauty surgeries?" "Thanks but she doesn't need them." "I think she looks great as she is now." "Well, with advancing age the eyes didn't get better, right?" "I have an appointment with your boss." "Ms Huber will be with you in a minute." "Did I miss something?" "Are you going to marry again?" "I'm not, but Hans." "What?" "Our..." "Our son is going to marry?" "You didn't know, did you?" "No." "Not exactly." "That's... gosh, Hans!" "They are visiting me this weekend and he wants to introduce me to his fiancé." "And to arrange everything, because they want to marry here in town." "What?" "In our town?" "That's amazing!" "Did you need me to help?" "The party could be in my new car showroom." "" "Katharina." "Vera." "Oh my god, you've gained a lot of weight." "But it suits you, it reduces your wrinkles." "I don't have the money to smooth them out every month with injections." "But you have to watch the doctors, sometimes you will get some stupid placebo." "Just what I've heard." "Whatever.." "I don't have the time to have a chat with you." "My husband and I are waiting for an appointment." "Ah, Mr and Ms Remmiger." "I'm ready for you now." "Are you coming?" "Good day." "Good day." "Isn't it great to see two people celebrating their love?" "And to get the protection of the sacrament of marriage." "Imagine:" "My boy Hans is going to marry, too!" "I'm happy for you Ms Remmiger." "A step to the right, please." "And to tell you the even better part about it:" "He wants to celebrate the marriage in our town." "That's like it should be, a man getting married in his homeland." "Mmhh." "Of course I would be happy to unite the two." "I've known your son Hans since his confirmation." "That's great, father." "You wouldn't believe me, when I tell you how happy I am right now." "And now the bridal couple." "Hooray." "And on this side is you see Mount Pürschling." "Mhh." "You're not looking." "I have to watch the road, if i want to reach the town in one piece." "Up there is a beautiful alp." "My parents and me would sometimes go up there." "My little Heidi." "My mother climbed that mountain like a super woman." "I'm very excited about meet her." "She sure is a great woman." "Yeah." "Stop doing that, you old fag." "Well" "Hi!" "Hi Mum!" "Good day." "Good day." "Mum?" "This is Nicki," "And this is my Mum Katharina." "Could it be, that you've just left out a little detail?" "You're pulling my leg, right?" "How could this happen?" "Mum, please calm down." "But I'm your mother, I would know that, that's..." "An absolute catastrophe!" "Hello, are you there?" "Hey Hansi!" "I'm so happy for you." "You are a real man know." "Good day." "I am Rosi." "Katharina's best friend for over 20 years now." "Ah, where is the bride?" "Well.." "The bride is ... ah." "that's Nikolaus." "He will be there as the best man." "And Nicki, she... she is in Berlin." "She lying in her bed with a very bad illness(?" ")." "Oh, that's very sad." "I've got an surprise for her." "Look," "I wore it on my own wedding." "Mmh" "And now I want her to wear it." "Isn't it beautiful?" "Rosi, where are you?" "He is very angry when he's hungery." "See you later." "Best man?" "Illness?" "What is going on here?" "It's impossible to tell her the truth!" "Are you disowning me?" "What do you mean disown?" "You just drive down to see me without telling me, that you.... you ah Gay?" "Why are you doing this to me?" "Ms Remminger, please calm down." "I don't want to calm down!" "What will I do, if people find out?" "I, can..." "You can't stay here!" "Don't you understand that?" "What, are you out of your mind?" "Out, out, out, leave my house!" "Get out now!" "Get out, now!" "Out!" "I won't say anything." "I will marry wherever I want to!" "Good day." "Hans:" "Good day." "Good day." "What do you need?" "We want a double bedroom." "Well, more likely two single bedrooms, if there are any available." "Am I right that you are a Remminger, Hans?" "Why didn't you stay at your parents' house?" "That's none of your business!" "No, she has a... a problem with water damage." "It's just not possible." "I see." "That's not true!" "My own mother throw me out." "You know, I will arrange my wedding like I've planned." "I say!" "You are getting married?" "That's very nice." "I will show you to your rooms." "Thanks, but we'll find the way." "You are not thinking, that I will .. mmh That I will be your best man, why is it starting this way!" "everything is going to be alright." "You don't believe this is real!" "She throw us out!" "Breakfast is between 7 and 9 on the terrace." "Mmhh" "And, no visits from ladies, right?" "!" "Don't worry, we would never do such a thing." "Good day?" "Traudel!" "I've to tell you something." "Katharina!" "Everything all right?" "Actually.." "Tell me.. have you been crying?" "No, not at all." "Where are the boys?" "Hans ... is ..." "Oh, Hans is ... oh my god ..." "Is he ill?" "No no." "Hans is   with Nicki ... they ..." "I see, in the church." "No, they are to  together ..." "a ... couple." "You mean... ohhh" "Oh, holy Mother of God!" "" "That's not possible!" "That's incredibly awful!" "You must promise me, not to tell anybody ever!" "SWEAR!" "Well I ..." "won't say a word!" "" "Not exactly the way I've thought about our wedding!" "And again two one bedrooms." "Mhh?" "What are you doing down here?" "Gay show-shock at the Staffelsee?" "At the same time you don't have the guts to tell your mother the truth." "Very nice to know, that I'm on holiday just to be kicked out of your house by your Mum." "" "Let's go Hans, please be rational." "I've told you:" "We will stay." "Tomorrow we have an appointment at the civil registry office." "How far will you take this?" "I WANT to marry HERE!" "Therefore I will fight." "And what's about me?" "It's sad enough, that you didn't tell your mother anything." "But you just let me run into a knife." "Can you imagine how embarrassing that was?" "I didn't think about it." "I thought it would be much easier." "But what did you expect?" "Should she just say:" "Well boys, are you gay?" "No problem." "Tea or coffee?" "I don't know." "I hoped, she'd take it better." "Man Hans, you should have told her a long time ago." "I've tried it a couple of times, but... when she is sitting in front of me, I'm to scared of disappointing her." "Okay." "And what now?" "I must stay." "If I don't do it now, I will never." "Can you understand that?" "Okay, well." "It can't get any worse." "The young ladies..." "I see, the Hans..." "Oh my god!" "You are a perverse asshole!" "And how is she?" "Who?" "Your daughter-in-law." "Oh well, they didn't make it, they are both ill." "Very bad virus." "Oh I see" "There is nothing to do." "Mmhh" "Good Morning!" "Good Day." "Katharina..." "Pencil, I'm searching for a pencil." "You've got customers." "Hello" "Maybe you could come out for a Moment?" "To the auto teller?" "I can't get it to work." "Of course." "There is a little grip, you've just to give it a little push." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you both left yesterday!" "Please Mum..." "let us talk sense ." "You can't just pop up.." "Just in case you forgot:" "I want to get married here." "Hans!" "You can't get married here." "The people wouldn't understand." "I may be important to you what other people think, but it's my life!" "I see, and what about my life?" "What life?" "As an old bull's-eye?" "It shouldn't be this way..." "Yeah." "I've imaged it in a whole different way." "You will never believe this!" "I cycling around the lake because my doctor told me to." "And what did I see two guys, making out." "absolutely uncontrolled!" "And do you want to know who?" "The Remminger's Hans!" "What?" "That's not possible." "He went to school with me." "And?" "Did he do it to you?" "Are you crazy?" "I've told Alex too." "He doesn't believe it either, I'm starting to think I imagine it." "It is really horrible for me." "What is really horrible?" "Wren't you together with Hans Remminger some time ago?" "Yeah." "For 14 years I think." "Why?" "He's gay!" "Really?" "Yes." "Do you know what the ex-girlfriend of a gay man is called?" "No." "An Ex-bum." "First of all Hans is a really great guy." "and if he is gay or not, is his own business." "I didn't realise what arses you are." "Two gay guys are having trouble, One says to the other:" "kiss my arse." "The other one says:" "Have we made up again?" "Algasalas, Alganests - the full range!" "Wasabi on mass, certainly bean sprouts and Terijaki chicken." "Saschibi, Schabi, Terijaki, I don't know if these are the right things." "Couldn't we just serve some simple Bavarian sandwiches?" "Dad" "Hi Hans" "Hi Vera." "I'll go ahead, okay?" "You can catch up?" "Mmhh" "Long time no see." "If you say so." "You look good, really." "Katharina told me you want to get married." "I'm happy for you, really." "It's a chance to start over, isn't it?" "I could help you with the preparations." "You want to help me?" "Of course." "Your marriage will have to be a great celebration." "What has Mum told you so far?" "Not much.." "we don't talk to each other." "You know, my marriage will be different to what you maybe imagine." "But that is no problem." "You could have waited for me." "Nicki, this is my Dad." "Dad, this is Nicki." "The man I'm going to marry." "Oh my god, kiss my arse." "And I thought it would be difficult with your dad." "Very very good.." "Here, that's perfect for you." "Good day." "Oh, sweetie look..." "Do you like it?" "Good, very good." "Doesn't it make me a little bit fat here?" "No, never, I have to talk to you ..." "Listen, I see it in your eyes, you don't like it." "Sure!" "It's perfect, darling!" "It is the colour, right?" "It's the colour!" "The colour is brilliant!" "That's not a reason to shout." "Please give me the dirndl in purple, will you?" "Thanks, mmh?" "What's the matter?" "Hans is gay." "Not possible" "That's impossible." "There we are." "That's not purple, that's dark pink." "Please give me the dirndl in the green and in another size." "Are you sure?" "Ha!" "Ha!" "That's no wonder, with your ex-wife .." "She cuddled him too much, that's really no surprise..." "What are we going to do now?" "What we going to do?" "Nobody can know, right?" "If people find out, we won't have to open our new showroom." "We will be ruined." "Good day good day... good day" "What will I say to the father?" "Don't say anything, it's surely for the best." "My husband has seen it with his own eyes." "Hans Remminger in a boat with another man, kissing and smooching with each other." "Good day." "Hello, good day." "Good day everyone, ladies." "Let's start right away." "And..." "To whom should i turn to?" "while pain is consuming me?" "Yes" "Is he done?" "Right now." "Men present the rifles!" "Stop the commotion Christian is coming." "What is that up there?" "Is that funny?" "No cruel intentions, man." "You've got to take some jokes." "Yeah, right." "Are you crazy in the head?" "Is that funny too?" "What are you looking at?" "Let's start." "On 7th of June Almdudeldienst at Fichtelgut, who wants to go?" "Yes" "Ms Remmiger, just for a sec." "I will wait outside." "Your son wants to marry a guy, you didn't tell me that." "That's not possible." "Not in my church it isn't." "That's a difficult task, with which you are faced." "You have to muster all your strength." "You have to go to him." "and to help him to be normal again." "They are sometimes just confused, that's clearly visible even in the cath... church." "But if Hans has this affection, he shouldn't live it." "What are you trying to suggest?" "abstinence" "Regardless abstinence" "..............." "You've done really great." "It was clear to see, that you have botched that boy." "But my Christian, won't get involved with this." "As I see it, he is right in the middle of it." "He is the father of our son." "I've warned you!" "You will know me much better by the next time." "Thanks but what I see and know is enough." "Are we going?" "No." "Ah, I have to go to Maria." "Mhh." "I understand...." "I'm coming, I'm coming." "Ms Remminger!" "I don't have emergency surgery tonight." "What is it?" "Something terrible, I'm feeling really bad." "Again." "Everything is fine." "Okay, we have to take a blood test." "Actually it doesn't have to do with me." "But?" "With my son, he is... oh well he is... homosexual." "And as a result you are dragging me out of the bed in the middle of the night?" "Yes, I don't know ..." "maybe we could ..." "Maybe it is just a hormonal imbalance, medicine could do something about it..." "Oh, I understand your concerns, as a mother you are shocked." "But you don't have any other choice but to accept it." "I've probably done something wrong." "I got too attached, cuddled him too much." "He was an only child." "You've done nothing wrong." "The research says, that" "Homosexuality is in most cases inborn." "And in every other case the sexual orientation of a human being is decided in the very early years." "Maybe there is a therapy?" "Homosexuality isn't treatable." "It's not necessary, because it isn't an illness." "People live just fine with it." "But I can't." "Ms Remminger... if you get over the initial shock you will see that everything is all right with your son." "That's easy to say for you, you've got happily married sons with lots of grandchildren." "And how can I become Grandma now?" "I would like it to happen too, but..." "I'm scared of the innkeeper, you know: no lady visiters." "Nicki?" "We have to talk to each other." "I know, that you are really stressed right now, but... there is no excuse to forget the basics." "Ah, good evening Katharina." "What's with the water damage?" "Yes." "Mum!" "You're right, we have to talk some sense together." "Yes" "But right know?" "It's very late." "I've thought about you and Nick, you know." "All right Mum, that's just a little bit to much for us to get into right now." "So, we should sleep on it tonight and then can have plenty of time to talk to each other tomorrow...." "I don't want to hurt you, you know, but it was a real shock for me." "Yeah sure, so we should leave it for tonight." "Tomorrow is another day." "Are you really sure you are..." "Mum..." "I just want to figure it out." "Some time ago you were interested in girls." "Like Andrea for example, she is a really great girl." "Yeah, I know, but however, I will never love a woman." "What's that now?" "Wait, Christian." "If you ask me:" "The boy is missing the right woman." "I've heard from a friend, that there is something that works wonders!" "What is it?" "Blue Lagoon, the whorehouse?" "Unbelievable skirts." "Impossibley great girls." "And that's what you heard from your "friend"?" "Of course." "What do you mean?" "Good afternoon" "Can I help you?" "That is going to be fantastic." "A wooden walk?" "Red there and wood until the entrance." "On the left and right, you won't recognise the place." "Yes, I believe you, totally." "Weren't you at the hairdresser?" "I was!" "The whole village is talking only about Hans and his fiancé!" "It was hell on earth." "That's really embarrassing!" "My stepson.... is gay." "Your Terijaki artist is for sure too." "Ph, that's something different." "He's from Japan." "Just to remind you:" "You are not getting married." "You will just engage in Cohabitation." "I see, Mr Wappenschmidel, but for us it's just like a real marriage." "But it isn't for me." "I've chosen this job to marry men and women." "And not such.." "Such as what?" "Just say it." "I will give this documents to my colleague." "After that you will have to make an appointment with her." "Good Day." "That was a son of a bitch." "Why in the world are we doing this?" "Hans!" "Hans!" "Wait a second, I've heard, ... that you both ... are here now and I thought..." "What did you think?" "Hmm?" "Oh Hans, we both." "Yes we both..." "There were some things that went terribly wrong." "Right?" "Only some things?" "You left after the divorce without a word." "Okay, I don't want to express it this way." "You know... not everything was easy." "Isn't there the possibility that we can talk some sense into each other?" "Now, if I'm not disturbing." "That sounds good." "To tell the truth, I want to talk with Hans alone, if ..." "Not a problem, I want to visit the palace of King Ludwig." "I've heard there is a great darkroom." "Yesterday I acted really stupid, didn't I?" "You could say that." "And, you know, that you and you and your... this guy, that you both are..." "It was a really great shock for me." "It wasn't the best start for all of us." "Right, right, the only way it can go is better." "Dad, just relax, it's not epidemic." "Hans look, as a young guy, you know... some people have to test some things, but do you need to be so... in this one direction..." "with guys?" "Just guys no..." "Women?" "Women!" "There are differences, and what I want to tell you:" "Men have friends" "I've got friends too, a whole bunch." "Look at me Hans." "We've both known each other for a long time." "Since I became a father." "This is not possible!" "Hans!" "Hans!" "Wait!" "Are you crazy?" "You just have to be with a really great woman..." "Are you kidding?" "I've thought we could talk sense and now this!" "Instead you send me to a whorehouse!" "I thought that maybe it would interest you." "Should I fuck the gay-habits out of my mind?" "You never tried?" "I don't like women." "And that will never change in my life!" "That's not certain." "Hans!" "Hey, good day Christian." "Is that your car in front of the Blue Lagoon?" "Yes, and what?" "The girls in there are very special, right?" "Like always Ms Meier?" "Two hundred Thank you very much." "And this is for you." "It's an address of an whore for your boy." "She will drive it out of him." "Excuse me Ms Meier, but that's bloody none of your business!" "My son is not ill, people are able live with it." "I just want to help." "I don't want to see that again, the way you snapped our customers." "Ms Remminger, is that clear?" "Can you pick me up?" "Hello Katharina." "No time." "Wait a sec." "I have to talk to you." "Let me guess:" "Vera needs money for a brain enhancement?" "No, it has to do with Hans." "All of a sudden!" "You never cared about him before." "Talk to Vera, you've pumped that much money in to her, you'll have to ask her for some understanding." "You are the only one I can talk to right now." "Please, Hans is our son." "I don't know which is worse everyone talking about us behind our backs, or that they make stupid jokes, that i'm supposed to laugh at." "Don't ask me." "Good day Seb." "For crying out loud, why did Hans come so soon before the opening of the new car showroom?" "That's the reason!" "You don't care about Hans!" "Sure I care, I was trying to get him into the Blue Lagoon." "Are you serious?" "Oh well, I thought that it would help him." "Just in case he got the taste of it." "You were going with him to a whorehouse?" "Are you now completely out of your mind?" "It was only an attempt." "Here you go." "Don't take this the wrong way," "I like Nicki." "and you are a great couple." "But?" "But... well..." "Are you sure you want to marry?" "What's this all about?" "I will go and get some cream." "You have to know, it's not easy for Hans either." "You can be familiar with me" " I've seen you naked" "Sure." "It's awkward, that we have had such a bad start." "It was a little bit strange, my behaviour." "How did you met each other?" "Hans came into my clinical practice." "I am an orthopaedic specialist" "And there we fall in love." "Of course a doctor is not allowed to start something with his patients..." "" "Mhh, I didn't noticed anything." "Hans called me often, but he never told me anything." "Two years." "How do such things happen?" "That's easy." "At age 14 I fell in love with my pysical education teacher." "At that point everything was clear." "With Mr Brauner?" "Just saying..." "I will tell you something: the people in this village are not comfortable with someone who... is well.." "but if two men want to marry in this village, it is too much." "Mum" "I love Nicki." "And I want to make our love official, like everyone else does." "Of course.." "Sure.." "But you could marry in Berlin." "Mum, I don't want to act like I have two different lives, don't you see that?" "Yes, but you've got friends in Berlin." "And this is my home." "I would come to you and will help with everything you need." "You're sweet Mum." "Will you be finished by Friday?" "It has to be perfect!" "Of course, everything will be done!" "Hey, do you know this one:" "What are three gay men doing with a woman in the forest?" "Can you guess?" "Two are holding her and the third is primping her hair." "You don't look like him." "What does that mean?" "Maybe you are not his biological father." "You're crazy, of course I am." "You have to get distance to him, did you hear me!" "You have to tell him clearly, that you don't tolerate his behaviour." "Excuse me, this is my son!" "Keep your distance!" "Your mother is right." "We could marry in Berlin without any stress." "I thought you liked the idea with the alpine hut." "Because you wanted to." "I only accepted Bavaria because of you." "Why are Bavarians so pig-headed?" "Please, wait a sec." "Come in." "Katharina, ah.. the choir and of course the father... wanted you to know ... have asked me because we are friends" "that..." "You've reacted really stupidly and want to apologise." "Look..." "From now on... you're no longer our Soloist, because it is a really important position and... it would probably change the status of the choir in this actually a difficult situation..." "... and as a situation it would probably get worse." "I'm sorry, it's not forever." "Please, don't be angry." "I'm not angry!" "I can absolutly understand it!" "What is my son Hans thinking?" "Just pops up and wants to marry the love of his life, it's disgusting." "Right" "Get out of my sight and tell the father, that he... can sit on it and spin!" "He is still our priest!" "Behave yourself, otherwise you will explode every other minute." "Why, I'm totally relaxed." "Overall!" "What do you want anyway?" "I have to talk to you about... it was a stupid idea to take him to a whorehouse." "I understand that." "We have to..." "Can we please start talking sense again?" "But not here!" "And to make this clear:" "We only talk about our son." "Well?" "Do you know now why I want to marry here?" "Absolutly." "We'll have to place an oxygen-tent half way up this track." "Otherwise none of my relatives will be reach this sumit house alive." "Why?" "Our guest will be brought by this gondola." "It makes a stop right there next to this house." "What?" "You are a really mean and sneaky bitch!" "But you do love me, right?" "I want so see your club cards please?" "Andrea!" "That's not possible!" "hello!" "I heard that you were here." "Okay, then you surely know, that I didn't come alone." "This is Nicki, my boyfriend." "hello" "We were at the same school and for a short time we were a couple." "And now I understand why you... well you know" "And I thought it would be because my breasts were to big." "No!" "You were there greatest girl I ever met." "If there was a reason to change sides, it would be you." "Hans won't have an easy life." "At the construction site he won't be respected." "Do you know what I don't like?" "It just never occured to me." "There we go, two draft beer." "There you are." "Your last visit was a long time ago." "How's your son?" "He's fine." "He studies architecture in Berlin." "That's nice, does he like it?" "Of course." "He likes it very much." "Does he have a girlfriend now?" "Oh" "He's gay." "Never mind." "The important thing is to be happy." "That's on the house." "Thank you!" "I'm really thirsty!" "Mhh" "That's delicious, we have to taste.." "Andrea, the whole tavern is full with people and you're sitting here.." "Oh, Clemens!" "That's nice to see you!" "Don't touch me!" "What's wrong with you?" "You stupid faggots are leaving now or.." "Leave him alone!" "Oh, you have to protect your wife, ha-ha." "I have to tell you:" "That's really disgusting." "You know what we don't give a shit about an opinion from an dweeb with bigger cock than his brain like you" "Leave now!" "Stop doing that." "You stupid sod!" "What's going on here?" "Go off!" "Come here you fucker." "Are you all out of your minds?" "Stop it!" "What's wrong?" "Have you never seen a gay before?" "Let's go..." "Nicki, please don't do that." "We are in the middle of our preperations." "Arrangements..." "That's a big disaster." "What has to happen to let you know that we are completely unwanted here?" "We will find a host, where we are allowed to celebrate." "I won't find anything here any longer." "I'm fed up to the teeth with these dweebs." "Not one of them will understand." "I couldn't know that they were freaking out that much." "That's not the point." "You want to marry here." "And you want to share your life with me." "But doing it here was just your choice." "I know" "You've been very naive." "I have to talk to you." "And with my mother." "I messed it up." "Let's go home." "No, I will stay." "It's too easy on them if we leave now." "Gosh, do you have to carry on the point?" "Regardless of how much it would cost?" "Don't you see how much you'll hurt everyone here?" "You don't realise it now?" "If I drive home right now, the narrow-minded dweebs are going to win." "But if you stay, you will lose me." "Don't' do it." "Nicki you will see that I will manage this." "I promise!" "Please stay, Nicki!" "Good night." "Good night." "Sleep well." "Hmm?" "Nothing" "Why are you up already?" "Somebody has to take care of the business, while you have fun with your ex-wife." "We just talked." "Of course" "Very romantic at the Winkelfischer." "Alex saw you." "That's your understanding of "keeping distance"?" "Lord!" "You have the compassion of a shredder." "My only son is gay." "can't you figure out, that I needed someone to talk to?" "No!" "And that's no excuse to talk to your ex-wife!" "Well it's not possible with you." "Good day." "Where should it be placed?" "Right there in the background of the hall." "No, that's not right." "LEFT!" "That's because of this Fengshui." "It has to stand there." "How is your son?" "He's fine, why?" "Because yesterday's violent brawl." "Which brawl?" "Yesterday he had a really big fight with Mosleiter and Clemens." "Get out of here!" "Where you going?" "We have a food trial very shortly with that Morasaki guy.." "You'll have to taste it on your own." "Oh..." "I've just heard..." "It looks bad." "I'm fine." "Clemens took the worst of it." "Really?" "You beat the shit out of him?" "Great!" "He had to take it, he deserved it." "That dweeb." "Do you want some?" "They always helped me." "Take two now and this one you can take later." "Thanks" "I see." "How are you?" "It's not that bad." "Tell me..." "Where is Nick?" "He had to leave and get back to Berlin." "His practice needed him." "You don't say." "It's everything all right?" "No, not really." "I'm starving." "That's the last one." "That Chinese guy will bring the table-cloth on his own." "Okay, thank you Hannes." "Did you know that Hans... well, you know...." "Poor Christian, he has to bare his cross...." "Of course, especially scince he hasn't had anything much to do with the boy." "Why?" "It has to be a secret..." "At all times." "Christian isn't Hans biological father." "Katharina has passed off the kid as his." "And of course my husband... is a very endearing guy, so he takes on this poor boy as his own." "That's not possible." "You're right." "I would tell everyone, but he wants to protect Katharina." "Do you want some?" "Look at this." "Dad, could you take me to the sun alp?" "Whay do you want to go up there?" "The host is a member of your rifle union." "I've thought if you could talk to him, maybe he would let us celebrate." "Oh, well let's see." "This won't work, you see..." "I have to taste food, because of the opening of the showroom." "Are you embarrassed because of me?" "Noooo..." "Okay, it's embarrassing." "That's sad, I thought you would have been braver." "What has this got to do with bravery?" "When a child asks for something from his dad, who is in a gun club with his best friends?" "Flower power?" "It's enough!" "Let's get this straight:" "You just pop up, jump right in and tell me that you're gay." "And from then on if someone has just a little headache with it, he's an intolerant dweeb, am I right?" "But let me tell you something:" "You're not one bit better than us!" "I see, just leave again." "There you go, like you do always." "It's true!" "No, you're really unfair." "You struggled with it a long time too and now you want us to , understand this in a short period of time." "And now we have to support you immediately." "Man!" ", I can#t listen to this again." "It's not that bad." "Sure it is!" "I'm treated in my own home town like a lepper, do you know how this feels?" "You miscalculated this again." "Ms Remmiger it's enough." "Excuse me please, I'm lost in thought again." "Short isn't like you." "I have to ask you anyway, if I can leave early, I'm not feeling well." "Far from it." "After closing time I have to talk to you." "If you want to fire me, you can do it right here." "Just get on board." "Hi." "Hello." "Hi Sabine." "Hello!" "Sabine, may I introduce you to Katharina, Katharina this is Sabine." "This is Sabine Harder, my partner." "Hello Katharina." "Good day." "Good day." "Rosi." "Oh Rosi, I have to speak to you." "I have to talk to you too, but I have so much to do." "you see the grand-children, the animals and the choir." "You know." "And my husband." "Rosi" "Oh" "Ah Hans." "A man has to be with a woman, nothing else is allowed." "Don#t you see, I can't change that." "It's the way I am." "And I can't help it either, I was born this way." "Ohhh Hans." "I'm so sorry." "What with everything your father is now telling people around the village." "What do you mean?" "He thinks he's not your biological father." "And that your mother had a one night stand with another guy." "But he's lying." "My Dad said that?" "That's what I've heard." "But please don't tell him, that I've told you." "But I saw you with a man at the last Christmas party." "You're right." "I'm able to use my very close friends." "And of course I've got a huge fantasy of coming out." "But for me it's important to stick to one story." "Must be very difficult." "It is!" "And that's why I admire your son." "I like his way, of telling the truth." "I never had the guts to do that." "It's not easy." "Sure, but you know:" "Today I would do it like he has." "But now it's too late for me." "Wanna dance?" "Well I oohhh..." "no..." "I don't like woman like you...." "I didn't ask if you like women, I asked if you want to dance! Lord." "It's the middle of the night." "Excuse me, but I have to talk to my son" "He left some hours ago." "What?" "Yeah." "Oh" "How could I believe that I could change them?" "I'm so sorry that I brought you into this." "Do you want to hear what's going around the village now?" "My father is denying me as his biological descendant" "Do you believe this?" "Phew." "He is an idiot." "See" "I had a feeling that Enzo was alone for to long." "Can I introduce you to Tina." "A girl?" "Enzo is straight." "Is there a problem with that?" "At last united!" "hello, this is the voicemail for Hans Remminger." "You don't have to hide." "Hans has ran away." "He's gone." "Do you understand?" "Your father told me." "And now not a word." "Vera told me, that Christian is not pleased with this." "Giving the honour." "Good day." "I need a beer." "You don't know how stressful my life is." "Of course." "Your opening." "No.." "It's all Vera." "She makes me crazy." "There we go." "Thank you." "It's very bad that Hans has left already." "He's gone?" "He's done a moonlight flit." "Cheers Christian." "To that, it's going to be normal again." "Cheers.." "Cheers." "And to our holy homeland." "Oh, Ms Remminger." "Good day." "Yes...." "Just take your old part again, would you?" "Let's start." "Shell we?" "No, not like that we don't." "You are dishonest shit-hole-." "Not for you to say so, Ms Remminger." "And you father:" "You talk all the time about charity." "But in place of supporting me you throw me out of the choir." "and you didn't had the guts to say it to my face." "And you are all pretending to be very moral and tolerant." "And then doomed my son for loving someone with his full heart." "Sure, but it's a man!" "That's not natural." "Oh I see, but drinking the first slug at seven in the morning, that's natural." "Or sleeping with our mayor and betraying your husband." "That's normal?" "Or that my best friend hides behind her laundry instead of supporting me." "That's normal?" "You are just a bunch of hypocrites." "And our lord knows, that I'm not going to let my son down because of you." "I'll love him so much more." "Have a nice day." "If you fail on something that important Katharina, you're not allowed to say such things." "Sometimes it's your nerves that put you on the edge." "Right?" "I'm right, arn't I?" "Congratulations Thank you, enjoy it." "Congratulations, looks perfect." "What did you tell the people?" "The part with Hans?" "Vera told me." "What?" "He isn't your real son." "You have to taste this algae here." "Thank you, but I'm feeling queasy already." "No!" "Not now." "What's going on?" "Well, .." "Just say..." "The things you've told to us in the church..." "They were really courageous." "Katharina, I know I wasn't a really good friend to you in the past." "I'm so sorry." "I've..." "I ..." "I simply don't know what to do." "Me either.." "I've missed you!" "You know what:" "It doesn't make any difference to me who your boy loves." "The main thing is here." "He has to be happy." "He has to be happy." "Let's drink a slug." "Why aren't you at the opening?" "Because Christian is behaving like an arsehole, such things shouldn't be spread." "What do you mean?" "O my god, you didn't know?" "What?" "Okay. well ....." "Dear mayor dear sir or madam lovely friends" "Go on!" "Let...." "My wife wants me to say some words to you." "I will make it very short." "No matter what you've heard!" "It's not true." "I am the biological father of Hans Remminger." "And I'm very proud of him!" "Well, I wish you a very good time here." "And of course taste the food from Mr Murasaki." "A Japanese artist." "Katharina, I'm sorry Vera spread that around." "Christian!" "How could you do this?" "My nose..." "Go and buy a new one!" "I will drive to our son." "Just the one for me." "Please take me with you." "Are you sure?" "You've got guests." "Christian!" "Stay!" "I'm sure." "Get in." "If you will leave now:" "I will..." "Leave you!" "Step on it!" "Since when are you able to drive at this speed?" "Since I have to." "I've never understood what you liked about that woman." "You know how things are." "No, I don't." "It wasn't going that well between us, right?" "In the bedroom." "And everything else too.." "It's my fault now?" "You have always to do something better." "Your job, your country women's association, your choir." "You've time for everything else." "But you ignored me." "You skipped out on us." "Can we speak with you?" "Hans isn't here." "He is at work." "Oh." "Let's go see him." "stamp." "Do you know were Hans is?" "What do you want to drink?" "Just water." "Mum, Dad what are you doing here?" "We want to talk." "Your father and me know that we reacted awfully." "Oh, I thought Christian wasn't my real father." "Hans, I've never said that!" "Yes" "Vera started this rumour , honestly." "you have to believe me" "We would be happy if we could arrange your wedding." "While I'm not a good dad, but but.." "I will try to be a great father-in-law." "Just to make this clear:" "I won't walk the bride to the altar." "That's nice of you." "But we changed our minds." "We don't want to get married any longer, we are happy even without a marriage certificate." "What a shame...." "I was looking forward to your wedding, I won't have it with my grand-children." "To no more bad things." "With the post it's like the real life." "Flashy packages are mostly inferior goods." "and huge packets sometimes have a really small content." "and mostly it will be inconspicuous or tattered envelopes that makes us really happy." "You see." "Don't stand there and do nothing, you've got work to do!" "Hi!" "This is a children's portion." "Oh, hello!" "How are you?" "A beautiful couple, right?" "Yes, but..." "It's still weird." "There are really great woman in the world." "Apropos, what's with your Vera?" "She..." "She wants to orient herself." "I'm glad you've thrown her out." "I should have done it a long time ago." "Better late than never." "Very well done!" "You've made it perfect." "Is it possible that you've changed Mosleiter's mind." "Great!" "Where is Rosi anyway?" "I just saw her a minute ago." "" " Subs adapted and corrected by Milkwhite " "END"
