"THE WEATHER INSIDE" "Ms Nagel." "These people really get on my nerves." "I wish a boy from the circus would suddenly appear and carry me off." "Isn't it a bit late for that?" " What's this?" " Water." "Whenever I die he will bury me." "He'll tattoo my name on his chest." "And he'll be howling next to my grave." "Like a coyote." "Good morning." "You speak German?" "We spoke German last night." "My mother is German." "I don't remember clearly either." "Would you mind leaving?" "Ms Nagel?" "Pretty stylish." "I'd also prefer to have my hair done." "My hairdo is part of my work." "Here." "For you." "Jean-Jacques Baudier?" "Dorothea Nagel, UNHCR." "Ah." "The college in London." "I'm sorry I didn't get back to you yet." "Unfortunately we're working on a similar project which isn't finished yet." "I'm pleased to hear it." "That way even more girls will be able to study." "This project is actually for disabled people." "And aren't there any girls among them?" "What was your name again?" "Dorothea Nagel." "Very well, Ms Nagerl." "I'll see if I can help you and your girls." "That would be great." "Thank you." "Good bye." "Ms Nagel?" " Hello Ms Salamih." " Hello." "How are you?" "I'm afraid I have bad news." " We have no girls for the competition." " Ah." "That's not what I've been told." "Despite the ceasefire, hardly any refugees are coming." "The road to the border is dangerous." "Everyone stays with their families and their belongings as long as they can." "I see." "There is one possibility." "She doesn't meet the scholarship requirements." "She won't graduate from high-school until next year." "But it would be a great opportunity for this talented girl." "Her English is very good." "I have her certificates here, a CV and a photograph." "Her name is Sukaina Hamdan." "I've never seen a woman who could drink that much." "What kind of work do you do?" "Funds and PR." "Development aid." "And you?" "I sell blood." "You know where the blood goes?" "They make plasma from it." "For anti-ageing cream." "You can't sell blood for the rest of your life." "I can play the guitar pretty well." " Here you go." " Thank you." "Enjoy." "Now they're clubbing." "Perhaps you need some Ritalin?" "Have you ever taken Ritalin?" "No." "Lithium?" "No." "Your mother is German?" "My mother is a German Catholic nurse." "In the camp she picked out the most handsome refugee." "That was my father." "I have to go." "You can stay here if you like." "If I sing with them, my project will be financed." "Only if you strip at the same time." " Good morning." " Shall I tap-dance for you?" "Tap-dance?" "Tap-dancing." "When I was a kid I had tap-dancing lessons." "We have to be fast, generous, casual." "Not so buttoned up, Ms Engelsborgh." "There's € 60,000 at stake here." "I am not going back to Germany now." "I am not a volunteer." "I've turned down other projects." "The first girl will be setting off in five days." "Please tell me if you don't like it." "I like your smell." "Can I have a cigarette?" "Did you choose her because shes pretty?" "Let's say it won't do any harm for fundraising." "Shit, England." "The British Ambassador's son." "I completely forgot." "See you later." "I don't feel like partying." "Neither do I, but I have to." "That's my job." "You smell good." "Everything all right?" "What do you want?" "I want to make war on someone." "You want to make war?" "Yes!" "Come down then." "We can make war." "Just one meter." "Otherwise we could get in trouble." "Party's over." "I'll be right back." "Everything's fine." "Everything's just fine." "I'll make you a child now." "Wait a sec." "It's itchy." "Are you German?" "Dorothea Nagel." "I'm your headquarters." "Aurelie Engelsborgh, UNHCR." "We spoke on the phone." "And this is the young man who is living with you?" "The hotel wanted to put him on our bill." "The hotel called the Second Commissioner's office to ask who will cover the additional costs." "This is Alec." "He speaks Germ an." "That's great." "My mother is German." "That's a good match then." "My suite should be ready now." "What?" "Can you turn that off?" "Do you need some schnapps?" " Sukaina Hamdan has vanished." " Who?" "The girl from the camp." "At the airport in Paris, during a stopover." "Disappeared at the airport." "Yes." "She's been missing for 20 hours." "They put out a call for her." "Security is inform ed." "Shall I shoot somebody?" "I would kill for you." "Just no children." "We have to discuss the situation." " I'll be right down." " No, now!" "Would you like some tea?" "I've never known headquarters to venture out of headquarters before." "Times are changing, Ms Nagel." "What's the story about this girl who vanished at the airport in Paris?" "Charles de Gaulle Airport." "Everyone gets lost there." "It's the anteroom of hell." "Do you know the airport?" "Tea for you as well?" "Let's make ourselves comfy." " Sugar?" " No." "We must keep the ambassadors happy until the girl's been found." "I'm going to the sauna." "You're responsible for the girl." "Absolutely." "How careful were you in selecting the girl?" "Was there a proper competitive procedure?" "You're welcome to check the documentation if you have any doubts." "Fine." "I'll do that." "Then I'll decide whether I can renew your contract." "No problem." "You OK?" "Here." "Would you like to listen to some music?" "I could read something to you." "It's been my experience that any form of body care helps at moments like this." "Shall I give you a manicure?" "God." "I have an idea." "Schnapps." "You think that helps?" "I know it does." "Just one." "This will help you." "Are you married?" "Yes." "Children?" "Yes, two girls." "Four and five years old." "How lovely." "I had one, too, but only once a week." "My patchwork episode." "It must be a madhouse at home." "It's noisy all daylong." "I think I brought them up too anti-authoritarian." "That's definitely not the worst thing to do." "There's no right way of doing it." "But it's better than the other way around." "Pets?" "It's only from the volume of the explosion." "That happens sometimes." "We're safe here." "Hello, Ms Salamih, Dorothea Nagel here." "I'm very worried." "Yes, of course, about Sukaina." "Have you been able to find out anything?" "Do you have any idea what could have happened?" "After all, you're the one who suggested her." "Excuse me?" "What suitcase?" "No, send it to me." "I'd like to have it." "Thank you." "Bye." "Madam, please." "Is Pascal working today?" "No clue." "We'll see." "Joining me?" "It's nice." "See you later." "I don't want to be friendly just because he's the son of the British Ambassador." "What are you trying to say?" "You're living well here thanks to my job." "What?" "The food and drinks?" "I can pay for everything myself." " I can also pay you for the room." " How?" "I'll get myself a job." "Off you go then." "Find a job." "Do you think I'm stupid?" "What?" "I don't think I can afford you anymore." "Madam." "A suitcase has been delivered for you." "It's Arabic." "What does it say?" "It says Sukaina Hamdan." "You can put it over there." "Yes, Madam." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Tsunami." "Now we have a hotspot." "My God." "I have some news." "An assistant in the duty-free shop at Paris Airport saw Sukaina." " She was with a man." " What kind of man?" "He bought cigarettes." "She's been missing for four days now." "Barbara!" "I have a difficult relationship with helicopters." "When will this silly curfew be lifted?" "Pretty soon, I think." "It's worked out." "I can stay." "So you'll sing for us?" "Well, if that's what you call my modest efforts" "Some good news at last." "Fantastic." "Thank you." "You know what?" "They did something really sweet in Algeria." "They got the kids they collected the money for to pour drinks for the guests." "Isn't that an incredible idea?" "Some day I'd like to grab one of those kids and ask him what he really wants." "You need something from the bar?" "Do you all have something to drink?" "Let's go!" "I told my mother about you." "I told my mother you're 46 years old, and that I love you, and we're trying to have a child." "How did your mother react?" "She cried." "She had an affair with a priest 20 years ago." "She thinks God wants to punish her for that." "I'm a punishment from God?" "Dorothea?" "I'm sorry, but" "I'll have to seclude myself." "I don't feel too well." "Could you bring that inside?" "Get well soon!" "I accepted it." "What?" "The job." "I look forward to meeting Omar." "Omar, the truck driver." "Hey, I can't find your names on the list." "Exactly." "So, are you coming or not?" "Yes, yes." "They're all coming." "That's great." "It'll be good to see you again." "Four people?" "Yes, the program is family friendly." "I'm looking forward to it." "It will be quite informal." "You could come in a dressing gown." "I can hardly wait." "Bye." "Have you lost the guitar?" "I lent it to a friend." "You can always bring your friends here." "You wouldn't like my friends." "Hello, Ms Salamih." "Dorothea Nagel here." "I hope you have good news for me." "I see." "It's hard to ask you this, but do you have others with a high-school education?" "No, not children." "The girls have to be at least 18 years old." "Yes." "Of course." "I see." "Thank you." "Good bye." " Want some?" " No." "Party, pan!" " Samir Ghostine." " Hello." "Dorothea Nagel." "Do you live here?" "Yes, but I studied in Paris." "What did you study?" "International Development and Humanitarian Aid." "Right now I am unemployed." "I did fundraising courses." "They teach you strategies, how to meet up with decision makers and get invited to their dinner parties." "I know these courses." "Are you enjoying yourselves?" "Yeah." "Does anybody have a note?" " Everything all right?" " Yes, I do." "Is the place at the college in London still free?" "My?" "Samir would like to study again." "If he was a girl." "Studying would do him good." "Do you realize that you've changed incredibly since we first met?" "You're" "I think you've" " You've become more grown-up." "No!" "No, you've grown up." "You know that?" "I also think that I know myself better than before." "Speak English." "You're excluding me." "I don't know whether I'll ever grow up, whether I can." "Madam." "Sukaina." "Sukaina's case." "I was thinking maybe there's something in it" "A diary or something." "To help us find her." " Have you no shame?" " What?" "Have you no shame?" "Take that off." "Take it off." " You take it off me." " Take it off." " I want you to breastfeed me." " What?" "I'll take a shower, OK?" "I have to go." "To that funny job." "As a role player." "Can you lend me some money for the bus?" "Does he bother you?" " Hello Alec." " Hello." "Sorry to just walk in like this but you don't answer e-mails nor the phone." "That's her, isn't it?" "For your information:" "The Second Commissioner has decided to cancel the project." "I'm liquidating the whole thing." "Here, the evaluation documents." "We have to change the rules." "What rules?" "We have to allow male candidates as well." "You should talk to a psychologist." "Everybody is talking about your drunken escapades." "I get the biggest donations when I'm delirious." "I'll call the" "My God." "Then I'll cancel the gala dinner." "What?" "I'm resigning as of now, and I'll cancel the dinner." "I organized the dinner, and I don't want to go through with it only to be broke and unemployed afterwards." "How would you do that?" "You can leave that to me." "I won't allow you to blackmail me." " You can't change the rules just like that." " But you can!" "You just have to make a few phone calls." "It's going to be a problem for you as well if the project is canceled." "I think it's better if I go now." "You and your stupid evaluation papers." "You have no idea." "That's all complete bullshit!" "I can do whatever I want with the papers!" "Everybody here has been working together for years, for decades." "These are established structures." "They can't be changed just like that." "That's no way to talk to me." "It's very important to me that these girls can go to college." "And if the girls aren't there yet, then a boy can go until they come." "And they will com e." "This job is like the stock market." "Sometimes you have to gamble." "You can't force me to do that." "If you forge the documentation, you're going to be in trouble." "Are you really that naive?" "Or do you have a problem with me personally?" "Yes." "The way you behave around here, I do have a problem with you." "I'm going to cancel the dinner now." "So?" "I'll try, but I can't make any promises." "In case I have any success, do you even have a male candidate?" "Sure." "That was fast." "There was only one participant." "Samir gave me a pill." "I think I'm falling to bits." "What kind of pill?" "Samir's out of his mind." "For the room." "Yes?" "The hotel staff are on strike because of the bomb threats." "Are you hungry?" "Thank you." "Omar decided that he would rather be an employer than an employee." "He invited me for dinner." "In the camp." "With his family." "Shall I come with you?" "My?" "You told your mother about me." "Yes?" "Socially, we belong together." "This is professional." "Samir can have the scholarship." "Hello Madam." "That will help with the nausea." "I'd recommend burn-out treatment." "A break." "Go to Germany for a while." "You do have somebody there who can take care of you?" "Did you take something before you collapsed?" "No?" "Cocaine." "I" "I hope it was cocaine." "And GBH." "GHB." "The first time?" "No." "But it'll be the last time." "That's what I would advise." "Because firstly it doesn't make you any healthier." "Secondly, you get addicted in the long run." "And thirdly, it doesn't solve the problems." "Better?" "And the gala dinner?" "Can you make it?" "Wouldn't you prefer to rest longer?" "I'm pretty tough when it comes down to it." "I could do with a drink." "Take the money back." "I don't need it." "The bomb threats have raised the security level." "I'm getting a danger bonus." "Oh my God!" "Are you chaps drunk already?" "There's bad news." "Barbara has a sore throat and says she can't sing." "I've got a sore throat." "I really cant sing, I'm sorry." "There's more:" "The food isn't coming." "The delivery trucks have been hijacked by rebels." "Luckily the wine wasn't on board." "There is no smoking in here." "You arranged for the children?" "But Barbara shouldn't have seen them." "Now she wants to adopt the little girl at the back." "Water?" "Samir messed it up." "He wanted to impress a girl and knocked over a traffic light when he was drunk." "Are you laughing at me because I want to go to college?" "Hi Ms Nagel." "Good news." "The borders are open." "The war is over." "At last there's some work!" "Here you are!" "Congratulations!" "The borders are open." "Refugees are coming." "You can start." "I shall prolong your contract and I'll recommend you for a follow-up project." "A big one." "Think about it." "OK, I'm in." "But I want double the salary." "I want an unlimited contract." "I want a year's paid leave, starting now." "Would that be all?" "Whenever I die," "I want a mausoleum." "I want a pharaoh's tomb." "I do not want to be forgotten." "Everybody can be replaced." "Including me." "Need someone else?"
