"CHRISTIANE F. WE CHILDREN FROM ZOO STATION" "Just piss and crap everywhere" "You just need to look around properly" "No matter how new  wonderful it looks from a distance with its green lawns  and shopping centres" "But mostly the buildings really stink in the staircases" "But what are the kids meant to do when they have to play outside?" "By the time the lift gets them up to the 11th or 12th floor they go in their pants and get a beating so they'd rather go here in the entrance" "I've lived here since I was six with my mother, my sister and my tom-cat" "I've had a gutful of it!" "There are posters all over town:" ""Sound." "Europe's most modern disco"" "THAT's where I want to go!" "One Saturday I told Mum I'd sleep over at Kessi's" "Kessi's the hottest girl in my class" "And everyone knows it" "She's already got real tits;" "I admire her" "The Sound is like her second home she's here every Saturday and knows everyone" "She's taking me along for the first time" "Get a move on!" "Is she sixteen?" "Sure, she's in my class" " Is Atze here?" " When isn't he never here?" "Put your bag there." "You can't walk around with a plastic bag here" "Wait here" "A cherry juice" "Come on!" " We're in the cinema" "Great gear" " Don't you want some?" " I don't feel like it" " Your first, eh?" " Crap!" "I just don't feel like it." "Man - cut that crap!" "You shouldn't have taken that fucking trip" "You've got the horrors, eh?" "Are you O.K.?" "This is Axel" "I'm Detlev" "I'm going back" "Coming back in with me?" "See you" "Pitti, where have you been?" "Downstairs playing with the kids" "Hey!" " Why weren't you at school?" "I've been packing" "You've been doing what?" "The old man's tricked you!" "Then why?" "Because Mum has a new boyfriend?" "That's Dad; he's waiting for me downstairs" "Mum works herself to the bone and you just want to piss off?" "You should be happy, there'll be more for you now" "That's not what I want!" "I want you to stay here with us" "And I want to try it with Dad" "Remember all the trouble he caused?" "Maybe he wants to make up for it" "Coming down with me?" "Won't you think it over?" "I don't understand you" "Any messages for Dad?" "Don't be cross" "Why's it so dark in here?" "Did you see Sabine?" "Now we two are alone" "She'll be back" "You think so?" "She won't stick it out with Dad" "You know what?" "We'll have a nice evening together, the two of us!" "Turn it" " Careful, it's running" " That's what I want" "That's Klaus, go let him in" "Who?" "I invited him, so we're not so alone - you don't mind?" "Hey, can I borrow your shoes tonight?" "You're going out?" "Just to Kessi's" "If you must" "I brought something for you" "Hope you like it" "Yeah, thanks" "Are we going somewhere?" "Anywhere?" "Coming, too?" "Where?" "I'm too tired" "You can sleep when you're dead!" "Here come the pigs!" "I hope they didn't get Kessi Mum thinks I'm at her place" "And her Mum thinks she's with you?" "Do you often go to Sound?" " Will you be there next week?" " Of course" "This is really high" "I'm starting to spin out" "You've taken a trip again?" "You don't think much of trips?" "Not really" "Want one?" "Did you do that yourself?" "Didn't it hurt?" "Sure...but I was bored" "It's getting light" "You heading home?" "How about you?" "I'm going to my place;" "come with me, if you like" "I'm staying at Axel's" "Are you angry now?" " We thought the cops had got you" " Man this is wild!" "Look, two Martians" "She was that loaded, there was hardly enough room for her in the lift" "The cops" "Come over here" "I think they're still looking for us" "You ought to arrest him;" "he's a drug addict!" "You're coming with me!" "Keep away from each other" "Kessi doesn't need anyone else to give her silly ideas!" "Can you do homework with such a row?" "It's the record Klaus gave me" "Klaus gave me this record" "It doesn't mean it should be so loud" "David Bowie is coming to Berlin" "The guy on the record from Klaus" "You want to go?" "Can Kessi come, too?" "I often sleep at her place" "I might be able to get two tickets through the office" "Have you hurt yourself?" "That's a tattoo" "A what?" "A tattoo." "It's not quite finished" "You'll never get it off" "Well, you have to walk around with it" " I've just met a boy" " And he has one like it" "You know, I didn't really think of going to the concert with Kessi" "I get you" " Are you going to the concert, too?" " I can't afford it" "What have you bought? "H"?" "You can swallow three trips at once, or something else to turn you on" "I can get you anything, but don't do that shit!" "If you take it, I won't see you again" "Axel, Detlev wants to take "H"" "Sure, if he fancies it" "Didn't you understand me?" "Look If he wants to take it, he will" " Can't you talk him out of it?" " Me, of all people?" "What do you mean?" "I thought you were his friend?" "I thought he crashes at your place?" "Stay cool, girl" "Better take something before  you flip out" "Look at them." "The cooler they are, the more shots they've had" "What's up?" " You look like a corpse!" " It's from all the blood I donate" " Huh?" "Why do you do that?" " Because I need the dough" "I'll see if somebody's got a spare Valium for us" "Mandrax." "I couldn't get Valium" " Is he sick?" " She's so dumb..." "He needs a shot" "Anyone apart from me who doesn't shoot up?" "No-one I know" "Got any dough?" "Twenty marks" "I'll get some - wait for me outside" "OK" " I've got some." "And I've got my dad's car" " Ciao, thanks for the dough" " Yeah" "Open up!" "I want to try it too" "No way" "I paid for it" "I want my share" "Let me in" "I don't want a shot I'll just snort some" "Think it over again" " I'll try it once, then that's it" " That's what they all say" "I'm fully in control" "Take that and you'll end up like me in no time" "You'll just be a zombie" "From giving blood...." "Why don't you join us?" "Something wrong?" "Got a trip for me?" "What do you want with a trip?" " Do you want a drink?" " Cherry juice" "I'll shout you one - be right back" " Hey what did Babsie want from you?" " Trip" "Be careful, don't give her one." "She swallows all she can get" "And what do you do?" "That's completely different!" "Litsen, do you know somewhere I can crash?" "At your own place" "But I don't want to go home, I've had a gutful of it" "Man there's some hot guys here!" "Are you crazy?" " You can talk!" " Do you copy everything I do?" "I only wanted to know what you feel" "Great feeling huh?" "Axel, it's me" "Come in - make yourself at home" "Since when did we have fresh sheets?" "Axel did that specially for your girl" "Really?" "You told your mother where you are?" "She knows anyway - she isn't stupid" "We can only see each other at weekends" "If you like we can meet up after I'm home from school" "That won't work out" "Why not?" "I go to Zoo Station" "What do you do there?" "Pull tricks" "What crap!" "No, really." "Really?" "You get off with gays there?" "I only jerk them off" "It's nothing, considering what they pay" "You never go to bed with them?" "Yes, but even then I don't do more" "Do you feel anything yourself?" "It's just a job." "Listen, I don't let them touch me" "It'd be wrong if they jerked me off." "I won't let them." "It wouldn't be a job anymore" "So you don't enjoy it?" "It's disgusting - it's just for the cash" "Do you like me a bit less now?" "Good night" "See you in the morning" "You can get up now." "My mother has left" " Are you fourteen already?" " Sure - from today I'm an adult!" "Wow...that looks great!" "You reckon?" " Have you got anything to wear?" " I didn't come here naked" " You can't run around in the same stuff" " Why not?" "Here's some clean things." "Wear my Bowie jacket if you like" "Here's something to turn you on" "Hey...have you got any "H" too?" "Are you crazy?" "Don't touch that stuff!" "I only want to try it the once" "I'm fully in control" "Such crap - what they all say!" "When you leave, shut the door properly" "Come again soon" "Sure, I will" "Hey, girl, how much?" "Hey, excuse me, you fuck?" "I pay lots" "Muhametto, leave her alone." "Go on, piss off!" "What are you doing here?" "Leaving town?" "No, why?" "And you lot?" "Looking for Detlev, too?" "No, has he disappeared?" "The strip's just over there." "Come with me." "Just wogs in there...." "Up there is "Piss-Flower"." "He lets me piss on him" " He does what?" " Really, it's what he's into" "Yeah, right." "Go ask him yourself!" "I stand over him and piss" " I can't do it if I'm watched" " He holds my prick when he comes" "Axel, come here" "Do you believe him?" "Axel can handle that." "He's got plenty of regulars" "Who's that?" "Detlev" "Leave it out!" "Who's the other guy?" ""Stutter Max"." "He only comes when he's flogged" "Look who's here" "Fixer-chick hair...." "Look, you shouldn't be here." "And why not?" "Because I don't want my girlfriend coming to "Zoo", that's why." "This lot are total trash..." "You don't belong here" "Definitely not on your birthday..." "...so get going..." "I wanted to bring cake for you" "And this." "Mother said I was to buy myself something nice" ""Who wants to piss in my mouth?" "I drink anything"" "Axel, there's something for you" " I want to shoot up today, too" " No way" "Whether I shoot or snort, it makes no difference" " It does." "A shot is like a hammer..." " Cut the shit!" " ..." "like a sexual climax" " Shut your trap!" "Shit, this one's clogged." "See if you can get one more through" " Ditch it after this last shot" " Don't talk crap" "Can you lend me your works?" "Girl keep your mitts off this" "Please help me" "What you're doing is really shit" "So how was it?" "I had a different idea of a sexual climax" "Do you want to sleep with me at the weekend?" "If you like" "On one condition" "No "H"" "I love you so" "We've got to stop shooting up" "You mustn't become a junkie" "I don't want you to die" "Mother wonders why I'm not fatter, with all these sandwiches" "Got a shot for me?" "No, and you won't get one from me" "That's just shitful!" "Your pupils are like pinheads and you tell me to stop!" "You at least can stay clean!" "You just want to hog it all" "Look, I just want to be on your level" "OK, a little hit" "I'll do the next punter for you." "See him?" "He's crazy about me" "Don't go over to him" "Why not?" "Because he's got a crush on you" "But that's great, he'll pay a decent price" "Why didn't you come back?" "No time." "I've got regular johns now." "Sunk really low, eh?" "You can talk" "Do you screw with them?" " She fucks hell out of them" " What makes you so sure?" " You let them stick it in anywhere" " Jealous." "You screw around with wogs" " Shall we celebrate our reunion?" " I'm waiting for my dope" "I'll lend you some" " I did seven tricks in an hour" " You blew them all?" "Seven in an hour." "A heap of dough" " With condoms?" " You can do it with them, too" "Without you might catch oral clap" ""At fourteen he was on drugs." "He took an overdose in a fit of desperation"" "One less after the gear" "I don't get it." "If there's something left to shoot, I'd never OD" ""Deeply moving farewell letter of seventeen-year-old Andreas W"" "I know him." "That's Atze" "Be seeing you" "What do you mean?" "Look, that was my last shot." "I've gotta get some more" "And what about me?" "I need some for the morning - otherwise I can't go to school!" "And I need some right now - or I'll go cold turkey in two hours!" "Look, I've gotta go" "Hey, it's OK" "You know what?" "Maybe I can help you" "Maybe I can scrounge up some cash" "I'll be on the Ku'damm" "Could you give me a mark?" "I need a mark" "Could you give me a mark for the U-bahn?" "Old wanker!" " Are you crazy?" " Come on, get in" " What's up?" " What do you reckon?" "I don't screw" " Why not?" " Listen, I've got a boyfriend" " Blow me then" " That makes me puke" "That doesn't leave much" "All right, just jerk me off" "For a hundred" "Cash first!" "I've got some, come on" "Where'd you get that much dough?" "Where'd you get that much?" "Begging didn't work" "I jerked a guy off" "He gave me one hundred" "You're taking the piss out of me!" "Honest, I only jerked him off" "Hundred marks for a hand job, eh?" "What should I have done, then?" "I did it for you" "What I told you was true" "I only did it for you" "You did it for yourself" "You go cold-turkey now when you run out" "You'd have done it even if I hadn't existed" "All this shit is just because we shoot up" "But we'll make it, sooner or later we'll start to withdraw" "We'll get some Valeron and kick it" "And I promise, I'll never let a punter screw me" "We'll make it yet" "Christiane, hurry up" "Since when do you lock the door?" "Christiane I'm going to be late!" "What's taking so long?" "You'll be late for school again!" "Christiane, do you hear?" "Mummy!" "Unlock the door, what's the idea?" "What's the matter?" "Get a face-cloth" "Shall I call a doctor?" "Child, what's wrong with you?" "Just crap circulation" "What are you doing here?" "Your mother came and got me" "From "Zoo"?" "So we can withdraw together" "If two withdraw together, they're doomed" "Rubbish, not with us" "I can't stand it any more" "Have you lost it?" "Keep your mitts off that!" "Let me, please, I'm begging you" "Just a little snort!" "Just to stop the pain" "Bernd, you're still alive, old boy!" "Sure." "Where have you been hiding?" "Take a good look at us" " You're clean, eh?" " Did you withdraw?" "And how!" "They've withdrawn" "You really did it?" "Yes, we really did it." "It wasn't so full-on" "All you need is lots of Valeron, Valium and suchlike" "I think that's great" "You can do it, too, Axel." "Really" "Shall we do it?" "Really?" "I'll keep the money from my next punter just for Valeron" "We can start next week" "We'll tell Babsie and Stella, maybe they'll join in!" "Yeah we'll be a cool, clean clique." "Just smoke a bit of grass" "I could have started today with this morning's money ...but I've already spent it on "H"" "We can still shoot that up, though." "Sure, that's O.K." "Be right back" "You wouldn't believe it" "It'd be just be crazy" "Right on the first day" "We just have to control it, make sure we don't get a habit" "We know now that we can quit" "So we can let ourselves have one shot" "We could ask them if they have a shot for us" "O.K., let's ask" "Axel, don't you know it's Saturday?" "They're letting you starve" "You've no water, either" " We can't leave him lying there" " Want to take him with you?" "Come on, move it!" "Why did he kill himself?" "He didn't." "Some shithead sold him strychnine" "I can't stand this shit any more" "I need a shot!" "I need a shot!" "Where will you live now?" "Move in with my john" "The one with a crush on you?" "Who else?" "Well aren't you a great boyfriend!" "Maybe you've got a better idea?" "You'd let any fag shove his cock up your arse huh?" "You think it's fun for me when you let wogs screw you?" "Do you know what you are?" "The lowest scum I've ever met" "I'm sorry" "I've never let them screw me" "All I ever do is blow them" "Me, too" "We must stop with this gear" "Yes, that's OK" "But right now I need a shot" "Or I just can't stand it" " But I'm out of cash" " Shit!" "I'll get some" "OK 15 marks" "Are you crazy?" "Some are brand new." "Look - this one's still sealed" "OK, 17" "Let's say 20" "Find someone else" "OK, 17 then!" "Have a nice day" "Babsie, have you got something for me?" " You know you'll get it back" " Forget it" "In a year they'll be just where we are now" "I'm giving it up" "Why are you still here, then?" "I'll get serious tomorrow" "I'll withdraw tomorrow" "I think that's really great" "Either I quit... or I'll die" "You'll quit, for sure" "And when I've made it, I mean after the therapy... what then?" "You know what?" "I'll quit, too" "I'll do therapy with you." "We'll withdraw together" " Really?" " You'll see, we'll make it yet" "I bet you!" "What the fuck?" "Come next door" "Stay here" "Look at me" "I'm going cold turkey" "Stay here" "I'll just jerk him off" "Hey, I've got something for you" "It just leaves you cold, eh?" "It's just a job!" "What am I meant to do?" "Go on, Tell me!" "Have you seen Babsie?" "Have you seen Babsie?" "Hey Zombie, have you seen Babsie?" "The little one?" "It's been a while.." "Maybe she's carked it ... or she's in the can" "Cut the shit!" "You need a shot, girl" "Crap." "I don't." "I'm just looking for Babsie" "If you've got one..." "You owe me one, anyway" "Maybe, but right now I haven't got one myself" "Tina, got anything for me?" "Buy your own gear, old girl" "Have you got the time?" "Piss off you old pig, leave me alone!" "Not the face!" "Berlin's youngest drug death" "She was just fourteen!" "I survived" "Mum took me to my Gran and Aunty's, in a village near Hamburg" "I've been clean for eighteen months" "It frightens me to think of Detlev." "I think of Detlev a lot" "I'd like to give him some of my strength, and help him" "But first I need the strength for myself" "Dedicated to Andreas W, "Atze", Axel W., Babette D, "Babsie"" "And all the others who lacked the strength and luck to survive" "The producers wish to thank the Sound Team for all their help, and to make clear that in the last few years the Sound has become one of the most interesting meeting places for young people in the world."
