"Let's head upstairs so no one will interrupt us." "Things still aren't going up, Mr. Schneider." "I'm sorry." "There's not much I can do." "I'm canceling your loan." "I'm sorry." "Do you still have the number of the debt counselors I gave you?" "You should give them a call." "They'II help you." "What's on the T-shirt you're wearing?" "It's a band, isn't it?" "That's it." "Five, four, three..." " Mr. Schneider, are we landing on the moon?" " Two, one..." "Bye." "I've reviewed the case again." "You were acting with the bank in mind." "No one can accuse you of anything." "It was firm, but with the bank in mind." "In any case, you'II be fine." "How long have you been with us?" " Seven years." "And large commissions." "You're good." " Thank you." "Keep it up." "And reconsider your decision about vacation." "Not too long ago I bought a cottage on SyIt." "The place is really pretty." "It's kind of a secret of mine." "Take a breather every once in a while." "I strongly recommend the same to you." "I couId picture myself going to iceland sometime." "We'II see." "iceland?" "Great." "alright..." "Mr. Feinermann, I'm hosting a dinner party at my house next week." "Combining business with pleasure, you know." "Maybe you'd Iike to come." "I'm sure we'II have a brilliant time." "Vince?" "Frederik." " Jeez, how long has it been?" "Do you work here?" "Yes." "Yes, I..." "I work at a bank." "Do you see the guy standing behind me?" "He's the store detective, and he'II get you busted." "You'd better put the CD back." "But not right away." "Wait until I'm gone." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Yes, and one more thing." "It doesn't make sense to put the magnetic strip in your pants." "Yes." "You're probably right." " Good." "I have to get back to work." "Wait a second." "In case you need something, whatever it is..." "I don't know." "Here." "Oh!" "Ms. PodoIski!" "hello." "Back early today?" "Yes." "Care for an espresso?" "No, I need to go home." " Fresh from columbia." "Very good." "There's none better." "I must go to children." "At home." "please, just one cup."

"But there's the problem with our building Ioan services:" "We are advising people to death with real estate." "And now to something serious." "You'II never believe what happened at the bank recently." "Mr. Feinermann, care to tell them?" "Mr. Feinermann experienced it firsthand." "No, you can tell them." "please." "alright, fine." "A customer walked in last Monday." "One of Mr. Feinermann's." "A tragic case." "The same old story." "Lost his job, took out many loans, etc." "But pay attention, there's more."

"What's up?" " Work." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Hello?" "Hello?" "What a poor bastard you are, you sicko." "hello?" " Frederik?" "It's Vince." "Wanna have a beer or something?" "hello." "Sonja, this is Frederik." "hello." "We know each other from long ago." "We played in a band." "I vaguely remember." "Yeah, we only had one real concert." "What'II you have?" "Do you have a menu?" " What?" " The menu, please." "I'd Iike to apply for a Ioan." "What do I have to do for that?" "Why do you need one, if I may ask?" "I want to start a bar with a stage and concerts and stuff." "I've already found an empty business." "I'd Iike to lease it and fix it up." "Excuse me." "I'II have a "blue Heaven." please." "alright, there's a battery of questions:" ""What's your job situation?"" ""Do you have collateral?"" " I was in jail a while, so I don't." "You were in jail?" "Damn!" "What for?" " Break and entry, robbery." "What did you rob?" " Do I get a Ioan or not?" "No, a bank won't give you one." "And how did they catch you?" " What about credit agencies or the Web?" "Forget it." "They're all criminals." "What about your old job?" "WeIder." " Robbery!" "Thanks." "With the CD the other day." "The way you dress, you don't need to pocket anything." "You can just walk out with it, with your suit and all." "Yeah, thanks." "Care to know why I steal CDs?" "I'm sure you have your reasons." "Feinermann." "unfortunately I've got work for you." "I'm going to SyIt for the Iong weekend and will spend 2 extra days there." "Me and the lady." "In my cottage." "Five days." "Oh, and one more thing:" "We strive to project a positive attitude at all times, but you know that." "But lately you've been wearing this suit." "A little too unorthodox and dark, don't you think?" "Okay." "No." "No." "No." "Yes." "hello, Vince." "Hey, would you be interested... in earning 2,500 euros?" "Behind a door, but not yours?" " exactly." "I thought you work at a bank?" "Is there anything we could do..." " Nope." "If I give you a name, could you give me the bank statements?" "If he has an account with us, yes." "If not?" "If not..." "If not, yes, I couId." "But it'II take a while." "Okay, you get me a guy's statements from the Iast seven years and 2.5 grand, and I'II help you with the door." " Seven years?" "And how?" "Okay." "I'II get my stuff."

"Tied up his daughter or wife in the living room?" "Yes." "Very funny." "alright, is anyone home, or what?" "No." "He's on vacation." "He lives by himself." "I was there an hour ago." "We go in and get your credit card." "Don't touch a thing and do as I say." "Understood." "Here." " I already have one." "No, once we're in the yard." "Okay." "Yes." "Here." "You wanted to pickIock it with a card?" " Yes." "I see." "Wait." "Are you nuts?" "Hang it back up." "If anything, take the laptop." "Okay." "Wait!" "Damn it!" "Look for a backpack or bag or something since we're already here." "We're stealing it all." "Jeez, that was..." "That was good." "What should we do with the stuff?" " sell it." "Now drive." "Now what?" "We wait." "And you don't want to know why I broke into my boss's house?" "No." "Do you still listen to PsychobiIIy?" "The electric Snakes have a concert soon." "They have to be awesome live." "I'm probably going to it." "Are you Vince?" "No." "The car too?" " No, it's ours." "Through the door there." "They're new." "probably Russians." "You'd better stay in the car." "I'm coming with you." " If you want." "Do you need anything else?" "Pussy?" "blow?" " Don't hit the dog while I'm here." "What did you say?" " Don't hit the dog while I'm here." "What?" "Or what?" " Or I'II hit you." " With all due respect, it's his dog." "I won't say it again." " Let's hope the dog stays quiet until you're gone." "I'II buy him." "He's not for sale." " Sure he is." "Everything is for sale." "On top of it, it doesn't seem like you two are that close." "Okay." "300." "That should be enough, right?" "No problems." "Have fun." "What's his name?" " Putin." "Okay." "Why do you want a dog anyway?" "I didn't buy him for my sake." "Then why?" "To disarm the situation." "You don't want him either?" " No." "Okay, I get it." "Yes, yes." "slowly and quietly." "Look." "Look who's here." "There you go." "Good." "You're a good dog." "Good doggy." "Now sit!" "relax." "Don't look so sad." "I'II be right back." "Your cut." "Less my two and a half and less 300 for Putin." "Hey, elvis!" "No smoking!" "Are you deaf or what?" "Put out the cigarette right now!" "Hey, you can't just..." "What's up?" "Did someone take a shit in your head?" "You can't throw down a cigarette here!" "It goes outside!" "immediately!" "Move it!" "There we go now." "Working like a charm, working like a charm." "Excuse me," "I believe that was my parking spot." " It was." "Now it's mine." "Get back in and park somewhere else." "And if I don't?" " One of us ends up in the hospital." "Have you heard?" " Someone broke into KoIIath's house." "What?" "I can't believe it." " Yes." "Look." "He looks really upset." "Just imagine how unsettling." "He lay in bed while they robbed him." "These are bad times." " Yes." "Oh, Mr. Feinermann." "Oh, Mr. KoIIath." "I just heard what happened." "I'm really sorry about it." "It can really eat you up." "You can say that again." "What kind of person would do that?" " I ask myself the same question." "Didn't you go to SyIt at all?" "I did, but I came back early." "horrible weather." "Oh, that too." "Okay, if you need to talk about it..." " Thank you." "Oh, Feinermann." "Forget it." "Yes." "hello, Ms. Bannerschek." "It's Frederik Feinermann." "I have a big request for the archives." "And..." "Just a minute." "Wait." "In a good mood today?" "Anything else?" " No." "Then I can get back to my work." " Yes." "Yes." "Excuse me, Ms. Bannerschek." "I have a big request for the archives." "I need someone's bank statements." "From the Iast seven years, Iet's say." "Frederik?" " Yes?" "Nadine?" "I don't believe it." "Imagine, our paths crossing like that." "Yes." "should we go for a coffee?" "Come on, just a little cup of coffee." "Okay, I'II have a Iarge rhubarb-grape juice, a Iarge non-carbonated water, a melissa herbal tea with ginger and a slice of orange." "And a cookie, if you have one." "Anything else?" " No." "Yes, how are..." " What are you up to?" "What were you asking?" "Just what you're up to." " I work at a bank." "Yeah." "Nonsense." " really." "Okay." "Do you have a family?" "Wife, kids?" "Me?" "No." "How about you?" " I've got a boyfriend." "How about a hug?" "The evil lady is coming." "Great." "Nice job." "Now you can wipe it up yourself." "And you can't smoke here." "Are you crazy?" " Sorry." "Oops!" " could I have an ashtray?" " I'II get my boss." "So what about it?" " About what?" "well, the hug." "Okay." "Do you feel like going to the zoo?" "It's a great idea." "Let's sell the jewelry." " I don't care if we sell a few houses, but that jewelry is a family heirloom." " You hate your family." "You called them a bunch of Nazis recently." "Let's go ahead and sell the jewelry." ""And the risk of having valuables around the house." I quote her." "I know everything about my customers." "What they earn, if they pay alimony, when and how much they withdraw, and most importantly, when they're not at home." "And do you know why I do?" "Because they tell me." "It was a one-shot deal." "Okay?" "Do you have the bank statements?" "Have you ever been to iceland?" " No." "I wanted to go there with my ex-girIfriend." "But she left me before we could go." "Long time ago." "He's a good customer, your Reiner, Reinier Grimm." "Or how was it again?" "Who is it?" "A friend of yours?" "well?" "Come on." "Think about it." "You need the cash." "What about the couple I told you about?" "They'II be at the opera on Saturday for a pretty long while." "well?" "You can "train" me." "Do you see the skinheads?" "Yes." "Your "training" begins." "Knock down the biggest of them all." "The mask makes an impression." "And rule number one:" "Don't pussyfoot around!" "You currently work in a warehouse." "Don't you Iike it anymore?" "It's a temp job." "actually I'm a welder." " You want to return to your field." "Can you work with gas turbines?" " I've done it all." "MAG welding certified?" " Yes, in particular thin sheet welding according to plan sheets." "What would you say are your strengths?" "I'm a very good worker." "Your file says you spent the Iast seven years in Tibet." "How interesting." "What did you do there?" "To be honest, I only wrote that to get the interview." "actually I was in jail." "I thought it wouId be a good idea to come here in person, then..." "elvis, what are you doing there?" "AII that stuff goes to B12." "I've told you 10 times." "It's close to the hi-fi department here." "And don't call me elvis." " Tough luck." "Take it all to B12." "Okay?" " That makes no sense." "Cripes, stop bugging me." "It goes to B12 because I say so, okay?" "Move it!" "What the fuck?" "hello!" "elvis!" "Know what?" "I'm going to iceland soon." "Maybe." "With my girlfriend." "The happiest people in the world supposedly live there." "According to a study, which I read." "When you start talking, you don't stop either, do you?" "They also believe in trolls." "people in iceland?" " Yes." "And one more thing:" "It's just for emergencies." "I don't want to use it, but I won't go to jail again." "Okay." "If you doubIe-cross or trick me, I'II kill you." "It sounds fair." "I'm serious." " So am I." "Let's go." " Wait!" "Are you scared?" " No." "I am." "Do you want to pull out?" " No, on the contrary." "And it'II say "Vince" up there." " In Iights." "cool." "Great." "really great." "Are you in touch with anyone from before?" " No, not a soul." "And anyway, who?" "I don't know." "How about your old roommate, Martin?" "He's building bridges in Dubai." "totally silly." "They're making artificial islands by filling in parts of the gulf of Arabia, or wherever it is." "gulf of Arabia?" "Arabian Sea?" "Whatever it's called." "They need to connect them by building these 10, 20, 30, 50 story things." "And those steel beams to stabilize them." "That's what Martin is doing in any case." "Did you ever know a Vince?" "Stocky guy, older than me." "We were in a band..." "Frederik?" " Yes?" "Yes?" " To put it mildly, this is a little surreal." "UnpIeasantIy mildly put surreal, or..." "We sit here and go "blah, blah, blah."" "I never expected to see you again, do you understand?" "No." "Me neither." "I've changed." " Yeah." "That's the question." "And I still haven't been to iceland." "It was a joke." "It was a joke." "I wasn't hung up on iceland forever." " Yeah." "I haven't been to iceland either." "Let's go there." "Come on." "Let's go there." "Let's go there." "Come on, just go." " I can't." "Frederik." "Frederik!" "I just can't." "Ms. Reicherts." "What's up?" "Ms. Bannerschek from the archives just called me up." "You put in a request for information?" "I don't quite understand." "Bank statements from the Iast seven years?" "Yes, an inheritance claim." "But the person is still alive." " Ms. Reicherts." "Why don't you leave me alone and let me do my work?" "I reviewed what you've worked on recently." " I see." "Somehow you don't seem to be enjoying your job anymore." "Why?" "How about I go to Mr. KoIIath and show him what you've been fabricating in the past few weeks?" "How about I give you a proper knuckle sandwich?" "Excuse me?" " Ms. Reicherts, I'm serious." "If you cross me, I'II come to your house with your knuckle sandwich." "I'd set up a jukebox here." " No way, they suck." "Oh no." "Come on, no one'II see us." "Pick up the guitar at Ieast." "Come on." "Pick it up." "unbelievably crappy." "Come on." "One more." "I'm warmed up now." " Oh no, you heard her." "Stop it." "Come on." "Another piece." " I don't feel like it anymore." "Can you still play "nuclear Sex animal"?" "I know you two are pulling off jobs and I accept it, but now I've found this." "You get them for him, don't you?" "I don't want you to do it anymore." "Yes." "Why?" "Who is Reinier Grimm anyway?" " None of your business." "Don't think you know Vince." "You don't know what he's capable of." "Don't tell him that we talked, okay?" "Thanks." "Hello?" " hello, Nadine." "hello?" " Hello, Frederik." "Hi, how are you?" "I already told you that I don't..." " The electric Snakes play on Saturday and maybe we could go together." "well?" "I can't go on Saturday." "I see." "Too bad." "What..." "Are you going out with your boyfriend?" "Yes." "And how about meeting up next week?" "Sorry, it wouldn't be a good idea." "No problem." "Yes." "I have to go now." "And please don't call me again." "Have you ever been afraid of going crazy?" "I think everyone is at some point." "So, yes." "But it doesn't mean that everyone wants to talk about it." "It's nothing serious between us, is it?" "No, don't worry." "It was nice being with you." "Was?" "Is it over then?" "No problem." "Come here." "What do you want, fuckhead?" "Hey, stay cool here!" " What's up with him?" "What kind of a pansy are you?" "What?" " Cut the crap." " Okay, sorry." "Look here." "What's that?" " It's a stun gun." "You can knock people out with it." "really?" "The things they make." "wild." "Ever see someone die?" " Yes." "And what was it like?" "Fucked up." "What kind of a question is that anyway?" "A guy shot himself at the bank recently." "Were you there?" " Yes." "You can't get it out of your head now?" " No." "Get used to it." "It won't change." "RED, RED, DEAD What is the guy who lives here?" "He has a security company." "What?" "federal agents." "There was a break-in here." "I'm Officer Tannert and this is Mr. Fischer." "Start questioning the neighbors." "I'II be right there." " alright." "Yeah." "The place is a shambles, especially the bedroom." "Don't be shocked." "The crime scene investigators haven't been here." "Don't touch anything yet." "alright, fine." "I need to go downstairs but I'II be right back." "hold on." "You're not with the police." "Don't be ridiculous." " I want to see your badge." " Sorry, you're impeding federal police work." " Dear, call the police." "Watch out!" "Let's get out of here!" "Move it!" "You said they were on vacation!" " I didn't know when they came back." "But you knew the guy was a security nut?" "It went off great!" "It was great!" "What?" "Okay, I'm out." "You're off your rocker." "Hey!" "You're passing judgment on me now?" "If I had a life and job like yours, I'd relax big time." "What do you mean?" "What do you know about my job?" "And my Iife?" "It's all crap." " Do what you want." "I don't care." "Don't get so worked up." "I've got new statements from that guy." "You really get on my nerves." "Fuck off." "Who is he?" " Fuck off, you jerk!" "What secret!" "Was this from you?" "Did you think you could buy your way out?" "I think it's better if we..." " You sold my husband a Ioan you knew he couldn't pay back." "Now he's dead." "And you come to me with money." "You pitiful piece of crap." "You... you sIeazebag." "Ms. Reicherts, what do you want?" "I wanted to ask you if you were being serious recently, wanting to give me a knuckle sandwich." "Do we have to discuss it now?" "I was wondering whether you really are an evil man." "Or just acting like one." "You have no clue." "Are you breaking into the houses of bank customers?" "I knew it." "would you go out to dinner with me?" " What?" "Have dinner with me or I'II make trouble for you." "Think about it." "Our new strategy is cross-seIIing until the cows come home." "So every time a person opens an account, you'II push a life insurance policy too." "Any questions?" "Suggestions?" "Yes, I've got a suggestion." " Go ahead." "I've noticed some irregularities in file management recently." "particularly with private loans." "You could also call it sloppy work or carelessness." " Ms. Reicherts, those are tough allegations." "Feinermann?" "Why do we have a handicap parking spot?" "Why?" "Has anyone seen a handicapped person here yet?" "I've been here for seven years, and I haven't." "And I have to look like mad every single morning for a parking spot." "On top of it, we have steps in front, a dead end for the handicapped anyway." "Fine." "And one more thing:" "Why do we have to pay" "90 cents for this dishwater you call coffee." "In the honesty box." "Why?" "And why are we forced to read that stupid phrase, "Honesty pays"?" "It's almost blackmail, Ms. Reicherts, isn't it?" "And what about the other signs here?" "Postcards, little stars, stickers with flowers on them, the "drinking birds,"" "dancing EIvises, silly coffee cups..." "I don't know." "I just don't know." "I don't think it's funny." "Do you think it's funny?" "Ms. Sammer, Mr. Schroder is right." "He's right." "No tank tops for anything above 100 kilos." "It's not a pretty sight." "AII those silly sayings in the kitchen:" ""It's better to have sex in the desert than sand in bed."" "That's total crap!" "Fucking crap!" "Feinermann!" "Mr. Feinermann, enough." "You're getting out of line!" "Do you know what?" "I'm not playing along anymore." "Can I talk to you?" "I have to talk to you." "Is this a chance meeting?" " No, no." "No." "I have to talk to you about that too." "I see." "would you come home with me?" "Right now?" " Yes, please." "It's important." "please." "Okay, back then you said you never knew what was going on in my head, and you couldn't get through to me." "Something like that." " I'm going to tell you something about myself and hopefully do the right thing." "I'm going through a devilish phase in life right now and it has to change." "And I've wanted to be close to you, even long before we ran into each other." "Long before?" " We didn't just run into each other." "I was watching you the whole time." "I ran into you on purpose." "Watching me?" "I know you were afraid of me back then and I assume you still are." "I wanted to tell you I'd never hurt you and I'd never let someone hurt you." "I thought about you every day." "Every single day." "When I'd walk around outside, I always kept an eye out for you." "When I get up, my first thoughts are about you." "You're the love of my Iife." "You're my only hope." "I'm sorry." "For seven years I've tried to lead a normal life with a normal job, apartment, sports." "But I'II tell you, being normal is for assholes." "And I've been up to some really wild things lately." "criminal things." "And I'm feeling alright, you see?" "Come with me to iceland." "We could leave right now." "There's a night train to Denmark, and we could take a ferry from there." "I'd understand it if you didn't want to, and if you want me to disappear from your life, then you'II never see me again." "So, that was it." "I'm going now." "I'm sorry." "It's not Iike I didn't think about you a Iot, but... you're right." "You frighten me." "Put all the money in a plastic bag." "And pull out your wallets." "pull out your wallets." "Your stick isn't all that impressive." "really?" "Care to try it out?" "Go ahead." "Was that all you've got?" "Stop it." "You'II have to strike me dead now." " Enough!" "I'm telling you, stay there." "Stay there." "Stop it now!" "Nothing'II come of it." "Stop it!" "How about a beer?" "I've had it." "I've had it." "I've had it." "Things'II get better from now on, I promise." "I don't know." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "Let me show you something." "Come on." "I got it in holland." "Just out of the joint and your hooIigan friend is lurking around in my backyard." "That has nothing to..." " You shut your trap." "Is this your place?" "Your old dream." "It's great, really." "And Sonja is still at your side." "And she still has quite firm tits, for her age." "Can I get a beer?" "You've got something to lose." "That's why I'm talking to you." "If we ever meet again, I'II kill you." "Your choice." "Know why you'II get over it?" "You wanted to get caught." "You wanted it to stop because you're weak." "And I only helped things along." "You were suddenly gone." "I couldn't have guessed she was that stubborn." "Your Sonja's a strong lady." "That's why the scar is only superficial." "I'm sorry." " Shut up." "Hey, I didn't know..." " Get out of here." "You're the catastrophe of my Iife." "Do you still want to go to iceland with me?" "Yes." "Good." "Then let's go to iceland." "But I don't want to have a chance to rethink it." "Tonight." "Okay." "Now or never." "Mr. KoIIath." "I just wanted to say how sorry I feel about it all." "Maybe I didn't react properly back then, when... that event took place." "I apologize." "Ms. Reicherts." "It'II probably be a Iong time before we meet again, and I wanted to..." "I wanted to tell you something." "I would have loved having dinner with you under different circumstances." "It's a pity." "Without you, it'II be boring here." "What are you going to do now?" " I'm going to iceland this evening." "I see." "Have a nice trip." "Let it be." "I beg you." "Just let it be." "If I can do it, you can too." "Don't think you're doing it for me." "You don't know what he's capable of." "Tough luck." "Vince Holland's not in." "You've reached the voicemail of Nadine Joris." "Nadine, it's Frederik." "Don't flip out." "I need to do something important." "really important." "I have no choice." "The night train leaves at 1 1:35 p.m., which we can board." "I'II be there." "You know what you're doing here is complete crap." "You said you aren't going back to jail." " Get out of here." "Stop it." "I won't let you go in there." "I'm going to finish things and you're not stopping me." "No, you won't." "Fuck." "I'm not letting you get by me." " Get out of my way." "You're not listening." "You're not getting by me." "You don't know who I am." "You know nothing about me." "What?" "What?" "What?" "You're so predictable." "It really starts boring me." "You're making it too easy for me." "Open the door now." "I don't want to make a complete mess of the living room." "Stand still." "Now turn around." "Turn around." "Turn around!" "Turn around!" "No!" "Vince!" "You'd better pull the trigger now." "police!"
