"That's all I'm saying." "What?" "You?" "I never would have guessed." "I didn't say anything, did I?" "Stop it, girl." "When you're dead, do you come back as something else?" "Where'd you get that idea?" "Richard said so." "Richard says a lot of things." "Why not?" "I'm coming back as a piggy bank." "Yeah, and I'm coming back as a cupcake." "C'mon, knock it off." "Hey, look." "Sweety, hold on a sec." "What's with her?" "They're distributing something outside." "Aren't you playing?" "See, they're passing out new clues." "Yeah, I'll get one when I leave." "My son keeps pestering me, but I never win anything... so I'm not even gonna try." "It's true." "Hey, look, Manu, your brother." "Yeah, it's Lukas." " What's he doing out there?" "C'mon, stop it." "Lukas." "Kidnapped Child Buried Alive" "Just like every Saturday, Patrick W... sets out on July 9, 1984... to play soccer with his friends at a nearby field." "He has to pass through an isolated wooded area to get there." "It's 2:30 p.m. When Patrick leaves the house." "A few minutes later, as police reports subsequently reveal, a stranger hiding in the woods drags him off his bike... and abducts him." "The kidnapper locks the boy in a makeshift dungeon in the woods." "How old was your brother then?" " Four." "And you?" "I wasn't born yet." "What was his name?" " Patrick." "Shit." "Hurry up." " Faster." "Come on." "Wait." "Leave that." "God, did you see how Patricia looked today?" "All full of zits and scabs, she could do something about it." "Pus oozing all over." "You're so gross." "What, are you pals with Patricia?" "Oh yes, Patricia, I love caressing your pussy body." "The gang's all here?" "Hi." "Good afternoon." "Tomorrow Tommy's band is playing at the Rock Pub." "Bummer, we need a car to get there." "I'll think of something." "What's the plan?" "You'll see." "What time tomorrow?" "Lucky, come here, boy." "Get over here, boy." "...and inside, there is order and structure... that we can represent through specific patterns." "Here you see the so-called Julia Set, which reveals transitions at several points:" "From chaos to order." "And this is the Mandelbrot Set, which - albeit just in part, so be careful here - demonstrates self similarity." "Remember what that means?" "That means that a section of the fractal... is similar to the fractal." "And that's the great thing about it, that chaos and order... form complex, non-linear systems... and exist side by side and simultaneously." "So you see, even in seemingly utter chaos... there are always structures and patterns." "Honest, ask Wucky, she was in the same class back then." "She hung herself on a doorknob?" "That I'd like to see." " Thanks, but no thanks." "And it happened right here?" "Quick, I hear the principal." "I sent you 1000 short messages saying I was sorry." "Don't you believe me?" "Nadja, it takes 2 people to have an affair." "He got involved with me too, it's not all my fault." "But you still could have said no." "That's why I'm here, I want you to forgive me." "Look at her, a broken rose." "Hey, cool." "Chris has the car." "Well, how did you like the muscle men?" "I dunno, I'm not too keen on men period." "Sorry, want me to leave?" "No, you know what I mean." "I mean, take a good look at a naked male body." "No thanks, that's not my thing." "I'll stick to women." "Especially if I run into one like you." "Watch it." "I sting." "I've got a stinger myself." "I've got to go or I'll never wake up tomorrow." "And Andi works the early shift." "OK." "I'm staying a little longer." "I'll find someone to take me home." "It was nice." "Bye." "Will we see each other again?" "I don't know." "...we commit the body of our sister Manuela to the ground... in sure and certain hope of the resurrection... to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ." "Where's Mommy?" " Yvonne." "I'll take her." "I'm sure you and your mom will be together again some day." "As little girls we always said... we'd meet again if one of us died first." "I know where she is." "In infinity." "Yes." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "No matter what happened in the past, it can't be resolved... until we stop blaming." "Alright Sandra, you can start now." "First choose someone to be you, and then do the rest of your family." "Do you want to be me?" " Yes." "And now someone for your mother." "Do you want to be my mother?" " Yes." "Have a look." "Does it feel right?" "Yes." "OK, now choose someone to be your father." "I never knew him." "This is ivory." "For you perhaps a little bit too light." "This is vanilla, that's what I suggest, and this one is a nice shade, but it's very faint and slightly dull." "Mostly young girls buy this one." "How am I supposed to see the difference on you?" "Let me try." "Excuse me," "I'm looking for the Powerpuff Girls - they're for kids." "Pardon me, what?" "Nothing." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." "Did I...?" "No, no." "My sister died in an accident last week." "Shit." "I mean," "I'm sorry." "Do you like it?" "Do you have any milk?" "Look in the kitchen." "I told you milk purifies me." "I need it, it helps me, it cleans out my insides." "Then go look." "Then space and time are reversed." "Therefore if we had a space traveler... who went through a black hole, he would go backwards in time." "Try to imagine him from the side, from the outside he's moving closer, while from inside he's moving away." "And if they both, at the moment... they pass through the black hole, become the same person, that would mean... the core of a black hole is infinity." "...playing games with fate, one got hit by a truck, then there were just eight." "Eight little Negroes... trying to get to heaven, one went the other way... and then there were just seven." "Seven little Negroes... playing catch with bricks," "the fat one caught his on his head, then there were just six." "I always have the feeling she can see us." "Maybe we shouldn't see each other so much." "Just for now, right after." "SUMMER" "Austrian Survives Plane Crash" "Look how far we are already." "And on the other side of the universe, what comes then?" "It keeps on going into infinity, there's nothing on the other side." "But then that's..." "Yes." "What are all these tests for?" "They hurt." "They're just checking for evil cells inside you." "They did the same thing to me." "They do it to everyone." "But we don't have any, they just wished we did." "A gin fizz please." "Hey, excuse me but I was here first." "A tequila." "Good idea, I'll have one of those myself." "OK, then I'll take the gin fizz." "That's OK." " No, really." "That's OK." "You like to dance?" "Don't you?" "Unmusical." "Well?" "Had enough dancing?" "You're not very talkative." "No." "Not like you." "Am I bothering you?" "So-so." "Can you still drive?" "Oh is this hot, c'mon." "C'mon, yank it." "Harder." "Faster." "Faster please." "Oh is this hot." "It was a whole set." "It came with polish too, for your car." "Mom, what do you need that for?" "You can use it to clean windows too." "Can you even afford it?" "It wasn't expensive." "Can you give me a hint where to look... for the new clue?" "You know the scratch 'n' win contest." "No, I can't really help you there." "Look at this." "You take the pills before meals and your appetite disappears." "This might be just the thing." "They seem healthier than the other laxative ones." "Are you getting paid for that?" " No, I never even called up." "I found this one at a store." "Maybe it is just the thing for you." "I usually don't eat this kind of stuff." "I collect the coupons." "Eat 10 meals, get one free." "Where are you from?" "I was born here." "Oh sorry." "I didn't mean..." "It's just that..." "I've got a soft spot for Africa." "It's OK." "It's not that embarrassing." "The whole continent is so mired in fate, so fraught by wars and at the same time somehow so beautiful." "I found a book just the other day..." "I sponsor a child in Mozambique." "Do you know Mozambique?" "It's in..." "When is Yvonne coming home?" "Soon." "They can't find anything." "How have you been?" "Do you feel like coming over tonight?" "Who's up for a drink?" "There's a new place at the mall?" "Sure, why not?" " Alright, let's go." "Have a nice evening." "I've got night duty." "See you later." "I just remembered, Sandra's coming by this evening, my goodness, I almost forgot." "It'd be nice if I were home, huh?" "You've said you often feel lonely... and you don't think you respond correctly to affection." "There's someone specific right now who... you want to add to the constellation." "That an exaggeration, actually." "He doesn't really exist..." "I am interested, but I don't think we'll ever..." "That's OK, let's play it out anyway." "Pick someone to be Lukas." "Do you want to be Lukas?" " Yes." "How does Lukas feel standing where he is?" "Not too good." "I'm sad." "Somehow I feel so lonesome." "Of course, you said his sister died recently." "He can't see you yet." "He's still immersed in grief." "Let's give him his sister, OK?" "Do you want to be his sister?" "Actually he's got two sisters, right?" "Do you want to be the second sister?" "How does the first sister feel?" "Not good at all." "I see everyone, how they can be together..." "And I don't belong." "And the second sister?" "I feel sick." "But it's not so much because of my sister." "We're not that close." "It's something else." "I feel genuinely sick." "Is there anything else that could help us?" "Maybe another death, or an accident, or some other incident...?" "No, I mean I don't know." "I have no idea." "You do realize how much you've hurt my feelings?" "I'm so disappointed in you." "I've made up my mind that I never want to see you again." "She's getting bruises, should we put her in another bed?" "Ventilate or shift her position more often." "Changing beds is still too strenuous for her." "Alright." "You should never have driven, Kai." "I'm so disappointed in you." "This whole thing is your fault." "I've made up my mind that I never want to see you again." "34, 35, 36, 37, 38, and you get a free t-shirt." "Alright?" " Thank you." "Look, it's fatso." "So what?" "Who cares about her fat ass?" "Who did you spread your legs for today?" "How's your darling Gabi?" "Is she even alive anymore or is she just paralyzed?" "Stupid bitch, you mean cunt, take that back." "Leave me alone." "Just wait, you're paying for this." "...admitting I made a mistake and going public... and humiliating myself to some extent." "And to open up like this in public, it's not exactly easy to admit it in public... and to grovel more or less." "But..." "I'm totally serious." "I can't force her, I realize that..." "You're absolutely right." "What do your eyes say?" "And your heart?" "My heart says I should give in..." "There she is again." "She's so ugly." "Will you help me with something?" "What's in it for us?" "...that's the fascinating thing, that you can't predict or calculate everything." "The tiniest influence... can throw a whole structure out of balance." "The flutter of a butterfly's wings somewhere... can cause climatic chaos here, and maybe an earthquake in China..." "Minuscule things like that." "There are so many things to investigate." "Actually, I've been studying this for years." "I'm working on something at the moment." "You can reconstruct fractals in the computer, and the chaotic symmetries become really clear..." "You've got something there." "To the right." "I chose my own course, never felt no remorse." "Don't look back - just live for the day." "But then I toss in my sleep, and a voice in me deep... tells me stay and try doing something new." "And year after year some things have become clear:" "That nothing stays nothing stays the same, my dear." "My God, why did you forsake me?" "Yvonne, come join the other children." "Alright, Sandra, now you take the place of your substitute." "Thank you." "Gerlinde, what's wrong?" "I'm scared." "Of what?" "I don't know, something's there." "I'm so scared." "Someone else is here." "I'm not alone, someone is behind me." "I feel so heavy." "Why?" "I'm so scared." "It's terrible." "I can't breathe." "I can't stand it." "...you stinking, consumer pigs, fat slobs." "People are being tortured and you walk by..." "It's just a bunch of crap." "A bunch of crap?" "People are bleeding to death." "Are you normal?" "What's normal?" "They're bleeding, dying like dogs..." "They're dying, and you couldn't care less, you don't give a damn." "They're being tortured." "Don't touch me." "I won't put up with this anymore, I won't stand for it." "I won't stand for this anymore." "I won't stand for this anymore." "...all this for only 39.79." "But that's not all, ladies and gentlemen." "In addition to this we're also giving you... this practical portable vacuum cleaner as a gift." "Who's never seen this?" "Pesky crumbs on your car seat." "See for yourself." "Just skim over it with this sporty handheld device... and presto, the synthetic surface of your seats are... spick-and-span." "Now I'm going to show you..." "I'm famished..." "You're tired of me, right?" "Well, same here, so don't get a big head." "I need a man with a flat, not one like you." "Where were you?" "Where have you been all night?" "You might as well not come back at all." "What's wrong, huh?" "What's wrong, huh?" "What are you waiting for?" "Can't you catch me?" "Where's your fighting spirit?" "Take a bath." "I'm still alive." "I'm still alive." "I'm still alive." "And you really have to work tonight?" "No, I'm just stopping by to see what's new." "What would I do at home?" "You wanna come up for a drink?" "If you put it that way, no." "Yeah, sure." "Sorry." "I like this kind of stuff, and puzzles too." "When you're bored, they're great." "Look how many I already have." "Well." "I guess I'll be going." "Wait." "I have to ask you something." "I can't stand it any longer." "Don't you feel it too?" "You know, between the two of us." "I've felt this way a long time now." "I just had to tell you - or actually, confess." "Belinda, we've known each other so long." "Let's just leave it that way." "Please, wipe that out of your mind." "You're right." "Excuse me, could you give this to your coworker, Sandra?" "She doesn't work here anymore." "Where is she?" "Sorry, I really don't know." "Thank you." "Past yonder mountains has my loved one gone." "Across the vast ocean has my falcon flown." "Doesn't remember our long nights so tender," "For then he'd come back home," "For then he'd come back home." "O'er endless ocean in a golden palace..." "Shit." "AUTUMN" "I'm taking Yvonne to the country so she can rest." "We don't know what she's got." "They're going to run a few tests and put her on different diets... because her tummy always hurts." "And the little girl from the hospital is going too." "And so are you." "But only to drop you off." "Grown-ups aren't allowed to stay." "But it'll only be for 3 days, then I'll come get you." "But Mommy's staying with me." "She told me she was coming." "Till you and I should cross paths again," "I hope that God will never leave your side." "He buoys you up with his strong hands," "But never does his hand hold you too tight." "And until we meet again, may God always be there by your side." "And until we meet again, may God always be there by your side." "So lovely, it always makes me cry." "Don't mind me." "Let's go have a drink." "Do any of you know who owns the farm just off the freeway exit?" "It's vacant." "Yes, the farmer just died." "I think his kids are putting it up for sale." "I'm looking for a place for my community." "What do you mean?" "I've been dreaming of starting a Christian community center for ages." "I'm sorry, I couldn't get here any earlier." "Is something wrong?" "I have to tell you something." "Namely?" "It's not easy." "C'mon, spit it out." "Lately I've come to realize how much I love you." "But you have to know this." "I cheated on you once, it just happened." "And... now I'm pregnant, it could just as easily be yours too." "I don't believe it." "You're so..." "It just happened, really." "It was nothing." "I mean, didn't we say that from now on is what really counts?" "I was so alone at the time." "It didn't mean anything to me, OK?" "I didn't think you'd do something like that." "I know, I shouldn't have done it." "I'm really sorry." "Please, Andi, forgive me." "You know what, let's just forget it." "What do you mean?" "Did you at least have a good time?" "Was he at least good?" "So that it was worth it." "Manuela Lebert, please come forward." "If you are here, make a circle." "C'mon, this is ridiculous." "We have to ask her something." "Does anyone have a question?" "Dear Manuela, will Gabi recover?" "How should she know that." "That kind of question doesn't count." "Have you seen my grandma?" "Is she doing alright?" "Yes." "Pat, what's that mean?" "Pat like Patricia, right?" "Who was that?" " Patricia, cut the crap." "What, I didn't do anything..." "Screw this." "I gotta go anyway, it's midnight." "Oooh, the witching hour." "I'm much happier without you anyway." "You want to see how he takes care of me?" "Smell, he's got such a wonderful bubble bath." "That's good." "You're so good to me." "What a lousy day." " You're telling me." "By the way, your place is haunted..." "Mind your own business." "Man does she have a complex." "Bye." "Wanna go visit Gabi with me?" "Nobody wants to and she's sick of seeing me." "What for?" "Excuse me, what does C6/C7 quadriplegia mean?" "You're a friend of Gabi's, right?" "Is that complete paralyzation?" "I can't answer that question." "Ask the doctor, he'll be here in 45 minutes." "Thanks." "Do you know the show 'Forgive Me'?" "I've been thinking about going on it... and asking Gabi for forgiveness." "Maybe it will do more than me just..." "I don't know." "Gabi couldn't even get to the show." "What did your dad do to your mom that day?" "Patrick, it's Patrick." "My older brother." "I don't know him, uh, I never got to know him." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "I gotta go." "I have to do some stuff." "How was it?" "Are you recuperated?" "Where's your dad?" "He already left." "One time he even double-sold tickets." "Imagine the chaos." "We were so stressed out afterwards." "The way looks at you..." "That's enough, I've had it." "That's it." "Why are you doing this?" "Keep your voice down." "Get out of here." "Fuck off." "Stop it." "Can you pass the butter?" "Sorry." "And how did you do it?" "Dirty?" "Something nasty for a change?" "That's what you really get off on, right?" "Maybe it's yours after all." "Now that you've found your father again hold him tight." "May I have a tissue?" "Do you want to hug him again?" "And how does Sandra's mother feel watching the two of them?" "Good." "Good." "...when I first saw my daughter again." "And I want to tell her I'm sorry... and I want her to forgive me... for not looking after her all those years... and for not being there to ask why, where, and whatnot." "And what I want now for the future... is for us to stay in contact." "Here's Petra, sitting there next to you, quite a pretty girl, isn't she?" " Yes." "You should be proud of her." "Oh, that I definitely am." "Do you have anything to say to make her proud of her daddy?" "Petra, I'd like to ask you..." "Excuse me." "I didn't mean to disturb you." "I should have called first." "Maybe some other time." "Oh, uh, I was just watching television..." "You stopped coming to choir practice, and..." "I thought you might like to sing a tune with me." "Today I'm here, tomorrow there I don't tarry anywhere" "Not a word of complaint do I say" "I chose my own course, never felt no remorse." "Don't look back - just live for the day." "But then I toss in my sleep, and a voice in me deep tells me stay and try doing something new." "And year after year some things have become clear:" "That nothing stays nothing stays the same, my dear." "Look who's here." "Move over, fatso." "Did someone say something?" "Say it again if you dare." "Beat it." "Knock it off." "Which one do you like?" "Hard to say." "What about you?" "Blue's no good, maybe something red or orange." "Much too bright." "We don't necessarily have to decide today." "But they're on sale today." "And I even took the day off, my free time is limited." "Besides we rented a car." "And at Christmastime they're so hard to get." "So please, let's just make a decision." "Have you tried to talk to Gabi... and apologize for what happened that night?" "Yes, when I visited her at the hospital, but..." "But she didn't accept your apology?" "No." "It's been a few months since then... and maybe she's ready to talk to you again." "I don't think so." "Then let's have a look at... what our reporter was able to find out." "OK?" "Who are these cute presents from?" "My friends at school." "What's that for?" "I don't know." "I think for taking my pulse." "What about this?" "Nourishment..." "I think it's for my digestion too." "And what's it like?" "Are you in constant pain, or does it just hurt occasionally?" "Constant, especially when I talk." "We've got a surprise for you, Kai." "Nobody expected we would do this, least of all you, but we really did manage... to bring Gabi to the studio." "Welcome to the show, Gabi." "Gabi, how do you feel when you see Kai sitting here?" "Or what made you decide to come after all?" "Well, I mean, we did like each other... and he didn't do it on purpose." "And Kai?" "Forgive me." "Hey, you were on the Forgive Me show yesterday." "Sweet, cute." "Let go of me." "Get out." "Get out of my life." "I can't take this any longer." "Neither can I." "Gerlinde will be staying with you overnight." "Today's the opening of the new wing." "Heinrich brought me a paint-by-numbers." "Really?" " And a book of poetry." "Yeah?" "That was nice of him." "You don't want to go to choir anymore?" " No." "This is for you." "Can I have another one?" " Sure." "How cute." "They did a lovely job, huh?" "Hello." "We're all set, we're just waiting for the guests." "Excellent." "Thank you." "Alright, look friendly and relaxed at all times." "I think we can treat ourselves to a welcoming glass of champagne." "Yeah, sure." "OK." "We're a family, we should feel right at home here." "I'm crazy about you," "I'm ready to fight for my baby." "I believe in you, believe in me too." "Take me in your arms." "The night is too right to spend alone, the stars in the sky are so bright." "I want to be near you, to touch and hold you," "I want to be happy with you..." "No problem, it'll all be over by 2." "Did you guys see how the triple exit looks?" "Where?" " Right below us and on the left." "Yeah, I saw that." "I don't know why they couldn't clear that away in time." "They were almost finished." "It wouldn't have taken more than a day." "Now try to forget..." "How the loneliness ached..." "When the person you loved..." "Left your heart so forsaken." "So grasp the straw of happiness..." "And set out anew," "And never look back," "For there lies an ocean." "Stay with me here tonight." "And shed no more tears." "Things will turn out alright." "I'll be going." "Good luck." "You too." "Take care." "What time do you leave tomorrow?" " 9:30." "And I'll be here beside you..." "For this new beginning." "Are you leaving already?" "Yes." "You don't work there anymore." " They had to cut back." "I better go, I have to get up early." "I'm going to Tanzania." " Really?" "How long?" " Two weeks." "Wow, nice." "That's right next to Kilimanjaro." "I've seen pictures." "You have to go there." "If you go inland from behind Kilimanjaro, you'll find worlds beyond your imagination." "Little villages that are still completely authentic, like they were 100 years ago." "And the colors." "I've only seen it in books myself, but it's amazing." "Sorry." "No, no." "I see your face... in my dreams at night," "As crystal clear as a lake." "You are to me... like some strange creature..." "That I'm slowly... starting to know." "When I think of you," "The sky changes hue." "Hues I've... never seen before." "You're so far away," "So far far away," "And yet... more close than I can say." "Are you leaving?" " You?" "What?" " Nothing." "Wanna come?" "I was gonna smoke something." "Let's see if the labyrinth is scratched properly." "Yes it is." "The lucky man or woman is..." "No, the winner is a man," "Mr. Andreas Lebert." "I don't believe it." "Has anyone seen Andrea?" "Get over there." "Stop that." "It tickles." "Here you are, Mr. Lebert, welcome to your wonderful new home." "Go ahead and have a look around."
