"What's that?" "It's painted on the front and the back of the train." "A driver just insultet me." "It was on line U-3, train 11." "A tall young blonde." "I want to know his name." "The regulations do not allow giving out the names of drivers." " I'll pass that on to my superiors." " No, don't bother." "It's allright.." "What are you looking for, madam?" "This is reserved for personnel only." "It's for my nephew." "He wants to work on subway..." "I'd like working hours timetable and the rest." "You may inquire with the Bureau of Personnel." "But... guestimate, maybe?" "Guestimate?" "This is our table of service." " It's not quite easy to decipher." " Never mind, I'm in a hurry now." "Thank you." "I have to go to work." " Hi, Heinz." " Hi." " What's happening?" " Not much, really." "What's she doing there?" "Ah, she's a driver." "Damn, a big bird alright!" " Now there she goes again!" " This time I'm gonna check on her." "Good evening." "Can I see your badge, please?" "Now even the drivers are kept under control?" "Sugarbaby." "Yesterday, he drove on U-3, route 10." "That was at 9 am." "Tomorrow..." "Line U-3, course 10." "At 13:41." "That's where he's gonna be!" "Stand back, please" "Anyways, what for you need our table of service?" "For my nephew." "He wants to know how much work there is to do." "That way, you'll never know!" " Why not?" " Because you got no key." "What... key?" "!" "Change of shifts." "You need shifts timetable." "Where can I find those?" "That one...not at all." "You kidding!" "?" "That ain't no State secret!" "Bye, Brunnthaler." "Bye, ya old curmudgeon!" "Right." "See, it's no big deal actually..." "Here we go." "So, number 7..." "Wait, here's the light a little better." "Brunnthaler..." "That's me..." "Let's see, today is June the 26th." "Continue down to my name." "That's 10." "And the circle means I had that day off." "Next 5 days shift for me." " And these five figures, we find on...?" " Service table." "Exactly." "You're savvy alright!" "Now, today is the 10th." "So, today beginning at 4:33 pm..." "Line U-6, route 9." "11 is tomorrow plus two hours earlier..." "U-1, course 4... and the day after tomorrow U-8, course 11." "Again two hours earlier." "That's how it shifts ahead, until the fifth day." "Every day a different course." "I could've searched high and low." " What?" " Nothing." "So, two days rest and four days regular cycle." "And again..." " Two days rest." " My respect!" "Then, 5 days regular cycle..." "Two days rest, four days service, two days rest, five days service..." "Not quite, madam, after three weeks regular cycle, a change kicks in." "I'll get me an ice cream." "Because-- Huhi, that's wobbly." "Lets flip it." "Because in this changed week, there's no fixed shifts or hours at all." "'Cause you're jumper this week, for those who are off sick or on holiday." "Why is it always 5, 4, 5, 4?" "So the 2 free days keep shifting." "'Cause our trains run Saturday and Sunday, too." "and Christmas... and Easter..." "Isn't that right, madam?" "Well then, study busy." "Goodbye." "Now, did I bag my timetable?" "Yeah yeah." "Thank you very much." "Thursday afternoon at 4 pm... he started on U-5, course 8." "That was on 23th." "Right." "U-5, course 8, on 23rd... at 4 pm, yes..." "Then there is the number 89." "Well, now I need the date." "Today is the 23rd..." "The 23rd, now down to 89." "Then across... 28th." "Now, isn't that..." "Huber!" "Huber 133." "Huber 133." "And what is that supposed to mean, now!" "?" "Mr. Brunnthaler." "Your timetable." "Ah, the lady from yesterday." "How did you know I was here then?" " Well, I studied busy." " Had a good teacher, then?" "But, for instance, what does this 133 mean?" " What?" " For instance, this "Huber 133"?" "Well, we have that many "Hubers"." "This one must be pretty old, then?" "Old?" "Young!" "The high figures belong to the youngsters." "It's logical, madame." "Lookit." "Incidentally, he's amongst them!" "These guys have birthdays this month." ""Huber 133, born on 1." "July, 1960."" "He is a Gemini!" "This is official secret though." "Nevermind." "Hey Schorsch (Georg), did you know the young Huber is our"Benjamin"?" "So his name is Benjamin?" "Nah, that's just a nickname for the youngest." "Well, you know what time I finish..." "If you have time, some day?" "I'm a widower." "Sugarbaby." "So, what's the delivery adress?" "I'll take it with me." " But it's way too..." " It's allright." "That fragrance is for men." "For what else should it be!" "?" "...the right size..." "May I help you?" "Well, what are you looking for?" "Hot lingerie." "We don't have the right size in stock, but we can order something." "How about this, looks nice, doesn't it?" "...not." "The address of a subway driver." "Hello." "I need the address of Mr. Huber." "133." "Driver." "Subway driver." "But when it's because of a death..." "After him!" "Looking for someone?" "What are you up to?" "Bowling with the office guys." "You should know that by now." "Wait... my car keys!" "Well, see you later." "Take care." "And don't you make that much noise again when you get up tomorrow morning." "Sugarbaby." "...and this is modern, ideal for hiking." "Don't you have anything stronger?" "Yes, there's our new all-weather modell..." "Stronger!" "Well, then!" "Sugarbaby." "Stand back, please." "Pressed the wrong button..." "Want it?" "It's better this way." "Not good for my figure." "Thanks." "Mr. Huber." "How do you know my name?" "Well, I've found out." "Yeah, and why?" "Now we have a cup of coffee together." "No, I'm headed home for lunch." "Your wife's not at home, anyways!" " Now, how do you know about that?" " Well, I've found out." "A bereavement, right?" "She'll be gone for two days." "Two weeks." "Well, then make sure you won't starve to death." "I'm employed... by a funeral home." "Well... what do you have to do there?" "Taking care of administration, insurance and other things." "I pick up the dead... change their clothes, apply make up sometimes... and sometimes..." "wash them." "Well, it has to be done, right?" "Just like driving the subway." "Here's my address." "Tomorrow at 7 pm after work, I'll cook something good for us." "An urgent letter." "Are you Mrs...?" "I had to jump in for a colleague... for one hour." "He's having a baby." "I mean... his wife." "Something is burning." "Come on, give me a hand." "This... was supposed to be a pancake." "Open the window." "No, that's the mirror." "The window is on the right." "Here, get one, too." "Wait a second...wait a second!" "Goodness me." "Sugarbaby." "Want another scone, Sugarbaby?" "Why do you always call me Sugarbaby?" "Jesus!" "I forgot the music!" "I was 15, back then." "That was 23 years ago." "And you?" "How old are you?" "You know all about me anyway." "Yeah." "On June 1, you turned 25." "Right?" "Right." "Sugarbaby." " What do you look like today, madam!" "?" " You tell me." " Well, good." "Very good." " I feel good, too." "Yes, please?" "What do you want?" " Yes, but...why..." " Sugarbaby." "Come." "Make yourself at home." "Bouillon, with two yolks." "That's good." "You left the tap opened." "You know what makes a good broth?" "Quite simple, a lot of meat and little water." "Oh, yeah?" "Isn't there an open tap." "I always made one like this for my mom." "Then there's cap of rump." "Want it later?" " I do." " Or rather... something else first?" " Hey, hey hey...!" "?" " Come with me, will you?" "You like it?" "This helps the circulation." "But you're getting all wet." "It would be easier if..." "What?" " Would'nt you like...?" " Sure would I like." "Make a little more foam." "Want more sugar?" "The veal sausages were awesome." "But the cap of rump wasn't so bad, either, right?" "Today, at work... time just flew by me." "You must have thought of something?" "Yeah." "Something beautiful?" "Yeah, Sugarbaby." "You're proper mad, Sugarbaby!" "I'd like to buy "The Cookbook for Lovers"." "Later on, I'm going to get some fresh clothes." "You wanna come?" " You won't need." " But I can't wear always that same..." "Take a look behind the TV." "I've never worn stuff like that since..." "Since when?" "According to my wife, I'm a civil servant." " Even when I'm not at work." " Birdie." "Actually a subway driver is not a civil servant, since we're paid by hour." "Want to lick the spoon?" "After tomorrow noon, you have two days off, Sugarbaby." "And two half ones." " Want to make a trip?" " No." "Want to stay then?" "Sugarbaby." "Hey, you...." "Sugarbaby." "It's 3:30 am..." "Subway's calling!" "I'll make us coffee." " Hard is the tooth of the muskrat..." " What?" "Hard is the tooth of the muskrat... tough, harder is the morning wood." "What!" "?" "What's going on?" "Mr. Huber." "Can you give me a lift?" "Sure thing!" "Have a seat, madam." "Want a cup of broth before the bubble bath, Sugarbaby?" "Oh, well done." "Where did you learn that?" "Touch it, look how hard it is." "Watch it, it bites!" " I do a little bodybuilding." " Where do you do that?" "At home." "It's a way out of boredom." "I don't need much space, I make no noise... and I never bother anybody." "Your wife." "It's because she's hardworking, I have to be considerate of her." "She's making further training at home after work for the post of referee." " You two have friends?" " No, not possible, either." "I'm always out and my shift is never at fixed times... so she always goes alone to the theater or bowling." "Actually, we live kind of parallel lives." "Until now, I'd never really noticed." "I'll prepare us a bubble bath." "How long have you been married?" "Let me think." "We've paid the 21st installment for the living room furniture... and 17th for the telly." "No, the 16th." "Then, 21 for the dishwasher and washing machine... for the stereo the ninth..." "The video recorder is new." "28 installments for the sleeping room." " That's the oldest." " 28 months." "Two years and four months." "And twice the trip to Costa Brava." "Double salary..." "Bravo!" "Brava!" "You're simply awesome, Sugarbaby." "As you said that the time just flew by..." " Do you get bored much?" " When I drive?" "Not at all." "And I'm not afraid yet." "Unlike my colleagues." "Afraid of what?" "Of a hit." "Somebody jumps, a suicide." "Once a driver gets one... it's pretty sure he'll get another one." "Everyone is scared of that." "And many gave up and quitted." "But you are not afraid yet." "No." "Though I had no hit yet, no jumper." "It just runs all easy." "It's not unpleasant, could go on like this a thousand years." "And what do you usually think about?" "Think?" "Nothing." "Nothing, really." "I drive through cornfields..." "Enormous ones, you know, like those in America." "Through cornfields." "Then through the desert... then over the ice between glaciers..." "And then... over the bridge..." " Over the Atlantic." " Madness." "Madness." "Over the bridge in the jungle and then..." "And then?" "Further on through the jungle..." " because it's full of those..." " Lianas, like Tarzan." "Nah, those flesh-eating plants..." "Monkeys, giraffes..." "No, the things, that..." "Orchids." "In all the colors." "In all the colors, Sugarbaby." "In all the colors." "Are you bonkers?" "You can do it yet again!" "?" "Black?" "The hair." "No, completely black." "All over." "Is that possible?" "Yeah, sure!" " You see it." " Sure, but now you're not black anymore." "But imagine... you can come to this world, completely black..." "They might've had to feed me up to here, 'cause I was way too skinny." "Well, by now you've grown a bit." "And then I became stronger than the boys." "I was always climbing trees." "Before we moved to the city." "We had a ropes stretched and I was princess of the circus." "I tried a number with cats." "Trained cats." "Trained cats?" "I like animals." "And why don't you have a dog?" "I had one when my mom was alive, but after that..." "Well, for me it was all about football." "Can't imagine how crazy I went for penalty kicking." ""Go home, you rascal!" Eugene's mother used to tell me." ""Eugene must study!" 'Cause I always got out the other boys." "We always went there, close to the German Museum." " The meadows along the river Iser?" " Yes, we always went there." "My father had a frame shop then." " For pictures?" " Yes, picture frames." "But things were not going very well... but I had only goal on my mind." " And when we won the World Championship" " When?" "What, you!" "?" "Nah, not me, Sugarbaby." "In 1974." "On July 7." "Sunday." "World Cup in Munich." "Ronny and I rushed to get the tickets but they were gone." " But why?" " Sugarbaby, the World Cup!" "Luckily, the bootleggers where stuck with too many tickets." "Why?" "'Cause many people would watch it on telly by then." "So, we had the best seats, terrace, and at a ridiculous low price." "Sugarbaby..." "That Müller..." "That Müller!" "First... it began with Hoeness, brings down Cruyff in the first minute..." "Neeskens blows the penalty." "Then turnover!" "Hölzenbein, that sly son of a bitch, defends the ball inside the penalty box, right 'til they knock him down!" "Penalty." "Breitner." "Goal." "Now Sugarbaby, but now... that Müller... shortly before halftime, the Dutch were hit " "Maier with a far kick-off " "Bonhof breaks through at the right flank -- passes to Müller." "And now, I tell you, Sugarbaby." "That Müller..." "Müller stumbles!" "But-- he's not down!" "He wobbles and fumbles with the ball... right to the edge of the penalty box -- edges off the Dutchs with his rear, like this -- positioned his legs, like, like some crooked stilts or something," "and then, with a great display of relish, he "Müller-d" the ball over the line." "I tell you, Sugarbaby -- over the line... "ge-Müller-t" !" "Next stop, Müller Tor --uh," "Next stop, Sendlinger Tor, uh, Sendlingertor Platz." "("Gate" and "Goal" both translate "Tor")" "Strand back, please." "Strand...str-stand back, please." "Didn't you much like your father?" "Well..." "Or didn't he... anymore, at some point...?" "No, he did alright." "You know, Sugarbaby, if you have a mom like that..." "You don't need to spell it out, Sugarbaby." "I can imagine." "My mom..." "she was something special." "A lady... who had big, big dreams." "And my father, who was an official, never really listened to her... when she wanted to tell him something." "He merely made fun of her, in a quite sneery manner, too." "He just didn't know better." "That one's a stickler." "And he's always been inferior to her." "He was a paymaster during the war." "He could not grasp that she always went to the horses, the racecourse." "Why?" "What's wrong with it?" "She liked going to the racetrack so much." "You know, Sugarbaby, with such a beautyful, big hat." "And those hands, so neat... believed she could compel fortunateness, into life," "away from the mesh wire, the pay master and his official brain... wanted to see the world, learn languages." "When I was a little girl, she took me to art auctions... where we dreamed of taking home something." "When I was 15, my father filed for divorce." "I had to stay with him." "But I kept running away." "Finally, he gave up." "He hadn't much concern with me anyway." "We had such a great time..." "just my mom and me." "Then suddenly, she fell ill." "What happened?" "Something very unusual." "Something very complicated." "It consumed her little by little... but only physically, not mentally." "I carried her around like a kid." "Fed her, washed her..." "Everything." "We liked each other so very much." "We never fought." "And as she was getting worse and worse... she kept telling me..." ""Child." "Go out, dancing." "You're still so young..."" "'Cause I alway loved to dance." "And what have you lived on?" "State safety net." "And the legal minimum rate from my father for me." "And then, as she was, like a little bird she fell asleep in my arms." "She was only 51 years old." "And you?" "What?" " I mean, how old were you?" " 21." "And your father?" "That...!" "Came to her funeral..." "to the funeral..." "I was alone anyway with the priest and the pallbearers." "And he minded to tell me... that this was the result of the loose way of life my mom and me led." "I felt, like, paralyzed." "Then he stumbled, and almost fell into the grave." "That would've been so awesome!" "Maybe Mom had a hand in that stumbling, I don't know." "I straightaway asked the funeral home that took care of everything for a job." "At the beginning... when neighbours or people asked me what I did for a living..." "I always told, truthfully." "But when I realised people were grossed out by me..." "I moved away from there." "Just that cabinet there, that little beauty, which Mom and I just couldn't make go, when we had to sell everything," "I took with me." "And that one." "That matter of being grossed out, I could never comprehend." "They're not unclean." "They're just like us." "Actually, we are them." "But that we refuse to believe." "No one wants to believe that the one lying there needs his tenderness, too." "Respect, esteem, or protection." "I protect them." "Like my mother." "Look, it's sort of ridiculous:" "a nurse has to touch everything, the whole misery before, and afterwards, the dead people too." "Is anyone grossed out by her?" "But the undertaker, who simply breaks up soil, he grosses people out." "That doesn't make sense." "It's only the fear of dying." "Gutless and dumb, that's what we are." "I see, all the time." "When we collect a body." "The relatives, they feel ashamed for having a case of death amongst them." "The eyes, which say:" ""Don't spill a word about it to anyone, please." "And get it out, quick."" "Their eyes look like they had to apologize for what happened." "For them having such an annoying incident." "Such an awkward thing, which is actually not quite proper." "Something ain't right about that." "Even the Stone Age people were more evolved." "But you... you weren't grossed out." "Right, Sugarbaby?" "I have a surprise at home, Sugarbaby." " Yeah?" "What is it?" " You'll see then." "Get in!" "Overtwisting's not allowed." "No way!" "No way." "Close enough." "How could I've possibly picked up something wonderful like you, Sugarbaby." "Picked up?" "You picked me up?" "I've observed you." "I've hunted you... and I shot you." " And why is that, actually?" " Why is what?" "Just why me?" "Why... is the banana crooked?" "But I'm serious." "Come on, Sugarbaby- It just strucked, is all." "Nobody can tell, "why is that"." "What do you think, Sugarbaby?" "It says there's a rock 'n roll band tonight." "Italian restaurant." "You still need to tell me how you found out all that about me." "Of course, Sugarbaby." "Of course, to a hair." "Tonight!" "Tonight, Sugarbaby." "Tonight." ""Sugarbaby"." "Skank." "Skank." "Skank." "Skank." "Skank." "Skank." "You Skank." "You Skank."
