All language subtitles for Ulrich Seidl - Good News ~ Von Kolporteuren, toten Hunden und anderen Wienern (Austrian with English Subs)

Newspaper, newspaper, please,
newspaper, read the "Krone".

The "Krone" Newspaper.
I'm waiting� come look please.

I'm waiting� come look please.
I love you� I love you� paper, read the "Krone".

The "Krone" newspaper.
Tomorrow's paper, please. "Krone", "Kurier".

Austrians who have achieved something�

With its new series the "Kurier" wants
to improve our country for the nineties.

That's why we are looking for Austrians
who have indisputably done something for our country.

In local politics, for environment, in the social sector.

You, "Kurier" readers, can nominate such an Austrian.
We await your suggestions."

- There are some cigarettes.
- Cigarettes?

- I bet you've smoked them already.
- I was speaking of cognac.

- Behave yourself at the Christmas party this evening.
- Sing!

Do you know your way about, Manfred?

If you weigh more than 80kg you're a filthy Croat.
If you're less you're a cravat.

Oh, now he starts to talk politics.

A year has passed - Into the sea of eternity.
That's why I tell you - the gratitude of the heart.

True to the Lord - in joy and in pain.
And if dull days - appear in my life.

The consolation, the heaven - stars light it up for you.
Illuminate the darkness - lighten the way.

I would like to be such a star in your life.
And comfort your heart with my docility.

The New Year approaches.
Glory to the Christ Child.

These are my good wishes - I say what I can.
May God give you: health, joy and blessing.

May God keep you and protect you.
In the New Year.

Good Morning.

- How are you, madam? All okay?
- Except that it's cold.

- Yes, but what can you do? It's cold, have to work.
- Goodbye. Have a nice weekend. - Thanks, same to you!

- How cold is it today? What's the temperature today?
- 6 degrees.

- Six? Well that's okay.
-It's better today.

- Sold many papers yet?
- Today; 120 Krones and Kuriers.

- And is it worth it?
- No, not really. Now leave your papers and take a rest.

- Ahh, rest�?! Or rather finish for the day. Are we going home?
- Just a rest, warm up a bit and work until 11 o'clock.

Well, do you get rich selling the "Krone"?

- What?
- Do you get rich?

- No. One paper, one shilling.
- One shilling?

That's right.

- You won't get rich with one shilling per paper.
- Well, I manage, no problem.

- It's okay in summer, but in winter�
- Summer, winter, it's all the same.

- Work, work!
- Work, work... Work makes life worthwhile.

- Without work, where would get money?
- Go on, drink up. Don't look like that!

My place is a good place.
Always work 6 hours.

110 papers sold that makes 160 or 170 shillings.
I always get 3000 every month.

My house, 3 children; 1 brother
and my ma and pa and 4 sisters,

All come to my house to eat. All need my money.
I must always work, send money.

But here, all people from 10th district; very good people.
Always buy paper from me. Always nice to me.

On behalf of Media-Print which I represent,
I'd like to welcome the new vendors amongst us.

Media-Print is the distributor of the two largest Austrian papers:
The "Krone" and the "Kurier".

More than 3 million Austrians read
these two papers every day.

And this is why the vendors have
the opportunity to sell a lot and earn well.

We'll watch a video together where
you can see a vendor at his job.

Let's watch it together and see if he does his job properly.
If not, then you tell us what you would do in his place.

- What did we see there? What did he do wrong?
- He smoked.

Very good, perfect. Smoking on the job. Usually the vendor
should stop smoking and concentrate on selling. What else?

- He doesn't make himself seen and doesn't go up to the cars.
- That's right, very good. He must make himself seen.

Why? So that he can sell more and earn more.

Good morning�good morning

Good day. Good day.
Good evening. Good evening.

Thanks... Thanks.

You're welcome.

Goodbye�goodbye.

The jacket should be buttoned up.
Yes, that's it. Then take the bag.

Good, then the cap.

No� wait a minute.
Yes, that's what it looks like.

Now the presentation. The vendor should always present
the papers like that and so he will sell more and earn more.

That's not bad. You just have to be friendly and keep saying:
"Krone", "Kurier", the "Presse"� Good Morning.

Daily papers, "Krone", "Kurier"� Good Morning... Thank you.

"The Peak of Life."
It's time to get rid of prejudices which claim

that old-age is a period of decline, actually it's the peak of life.

In fact, it's not only in Austria that
the number of people over 85 is growing constantly.

The rapid increase in the expectation of life is tied into
an equally impressive improvement in the quality of life.

The times are over when you had to be ashamed of your age.

Growing old today is a conquest - an achievement.
An achievement to be proud of.

- Come here. Bread, Milk.
- Yes, you can do it already.

- What are these called? I don't know�
Apple, greens and banana. - Many thanks.

Here, thanks. Goodbye.

Here. Good day. Where's the big bag?...
No bag today?

- I've got one.
- Many thanks.

I've always got everything with me...

He always helps me.

Thanks, thanks, that's okay.

Good Morning.

Now he's gone already with the bag.

- Yes.. not going home?
- Bring me that.

There, that goes in first.

Thanks, goodbye.

As a lorry driver I've already been to Pakistan, Afghanistan,
Persia, Saudi-Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and all over Turkey.

For me it's nothing new the way all these Pakistanis live here.

This is our kitchen,

our living room,

the cabinet is full of souvenirs:
souvenirs from all over the world.

There's our bedroom.

My wife loves stuffed animals.
I like old radios.

There are souvenirs from Eastern Europe� Russia, Poland.

Our TV and music corner...
the cosy corner with our little birds�

And this is my wife;
We've been married for 20 years and are happy.

Come here, slowly, one after the other.

Let's go.

Stay in rows of two.

That's enough.

Don't sleep!

That's enough.

That's no problem.

He's from the 20th district, a special bus goes there.

I'll give him a pass and then he can catch
the tube at Kagran in the 22nd district.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- He's been given too many.
- Minimum Sale.

At the corner of Triester Street and Altdorfer Street.

- How many must he sell?
- 40.

40 is not possible. He brought back 20 out of 70,
that makes 50. Minimum sale 50.

Yes, they sell more and more papers.
That's logical. New minimum of sale is 50.

Of course he has a contract with Media-Print,
saying that he starts work at 5.30 am and not at 5.40.

He has to stick to the rules. His work begins at 5.30.

There must be a special connection which
allows him to get to work on time, I'm sure.

I've got plenty of people who live in the 21st district
and work there and they manage all the same.

I'll have a look for myself.
It was checked last week. Pitch 27, 8.28.

Monday, 10:58, he wasn't wearing his cap
and his jacket was undone, not very smart.

He no longer worked and on Friday at 0:45
he was no longer on the job.

We know that life's hard,
when we look at the people in the street,

they have serious faces, aren't friendly,

and it's very nice for a passerby to see the friendly
face of a vendor. Then you sell more and earn more.

Please.

Friday we were here because he kept scratching
the walls, then I stopped him from doing that.

Well, let him out for once.
What�s the matter with him?

Look here, yesterday, his stool was like that.

In the night he was quite green.
I also took his temperature.

- Was he sick as well?
- First his stool had some blood in it.

- Was he sick or not?
- Sick? No, he wasn�t sick.

- Did he eat?
- Eat, for God�s sake, guzzle, guzzle, guzzle�

We have to take him down 4 times�
Look where that gets us.

- Has he been vaccinated?
- Yes, doctor. - Show me the card.

Wednesday, he was vaccinated against cat�s disease.
But he doesn�t stop scratching the walls, he eats what comes off.

- Has he been wormed?
- Pardon?

- Has he been treated for worms?
- It�s all written down on there.

�The planet earth is bursting at the seams.
The efforts to control births remain ineffective.

Today there are almost 5.5 billion people,
but in 2000 there will be 6 billion, in 2020 there will be 8 billion.

These prognoses were published
last weekend in Geneva by the W.H.O.�

He�s got definitely got something wrong with
his spinal column and that could be why he can�t hold his urine.

He pisses all over the flat, every 2 minutes.
Look out there where we sat, drops everywhere.

- Now we have to treat him.
- I don�t think it�s worth it.

- You want me to put him to sleep?
- At a certain age�

- Do you want to help?
- Hold him there for a moment.

Come, puss, come here.
As of a certain age it�s cruelty to animals.

- That�s 58 shillings.
- Do you have 50 shillings?

We�ll leave the basket and the rest here.

I don�t want to see it.

Come on, let�s go... The exit�s over there.

"16-year old boy shoots his mother and sets fire to the house."
"Bratislava reads the �Krone�

- Where, your father?
- Mama! - Mama sick?

- Father sick?
- He won�t hurt you, don�t be afraid, he won�t hurt you, little one.

- Where your father?
- But I�m here. - Father, father, at work?

Come, say that father�s at home.

Father, father.
Where�s the man?

- Where's the man? - He�s not coming today.
He only comes Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

- Is he home?
- No, he�s married too... on the Hansa-Estate.

- Go to another woman.
- No, no, no, the time�s up�

- My god, I forgot.
- Why forgot? I left my head behind�

Do you need this scarf today?

- I�m sick. - You�re sick?
When are you coming, tomorrow? Or this afternoon?

- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? When?

- Yesterday you said 10 today!
- I forgot.

- I got flu badly.
- I�m sick as well. Yesterday again � colic.

- But you say bring tomorrow and bring nothing today.
- It�s nearly Christmas�

- What you do for Christmas?
- Poor boy, he has to stand outside in the cold.

I promised to bring him some medicine and I forgot.

Standing outside all day in this cold weather, that�s hard!

- It�s not too bad today, it�s a bit warmer.
- That�s quite something!

- Cold!
- He should go to the doctor!

- I�m not insured.
- If you sell papers then you must be insured.

- Paper not pay insurance.
- They should be registered.

- Me get sick, me pay doctor.
- From the 10 cents that he earns!

- 1 shilling per paper.
- He has to sell 100 to earn 100 shillings.

I also had a look�
He doesn�t work like he should.

He�s not interested.

For 5 months he comes and says he hasn�t sold anything.

I went and had a look each time
and I even decreased his minimum target.

But he must make an effort.

Hiding in a corner and then�
He must sell papers. He doesn't sell anything.

Perhaps he is not suitable for the job.
Perhaps he's not suitable to sell newspapers.

If you get it, then I�ll tell you. Goodbye.
So?

- Pardon�
- No time�

Minimum sale.
No, no, we won�t do that�

Please, get out! Guard!
Get out, please!

What do you want?
Which day?

You�ve got a replacement again.
That won�t do!

Austrians not say too many foreigners come...

If foreigners work, then is good.

But they not say, not take so many foreigners
because not enough work.

- I like lot of work.
- Abroad everyone think Austria good,

we get work there and this and that�
But not always like that.

Lot of people out of work.

Yes, lots of unemployed.
Austria has lots of poor people.

- Many people lucky in Lotto.
- The big win, not for us.

Next week, we play together. Me 60 shillings,
you 60 shillings, and perhaps 6 numbers.

Perhaps. Look, now many poor people in Austria
and government must pay� Pay for a lot.

But if you�re born in Austria and you poor
and you need something from state,

don�t think you get something at once.
You get nothing.

You work a lot.
If you sick and not go to work�

- I am sick.
- �then Austrians get nothing.

Austrians are more poor when
need something than foreigners.

I know that from my own experience.

Good morning.

Good morning.
Thanks.

Paper? Nothing for you?
Where is he?

There is the TV-room.

He takes the �Krone� every week.
I�ll look in the TV-room. Thanks, goodbye.

Good day. �Kurier�, �Krone��

Have you got anything else?

Two �Krone�� You want to read them both?
Both at the same time? �Here you are.

- Is there a �Kurier� and a �Presse�?
- Only �Krone� and �Kurier�.

You not read newspapers?
Do you only have Groschen?

There are also some shillings.

- Paper?
- We don�t need any.

No, you haven�t even got 2 shillings.

I can�t give you one.
Shall I put it back or leave it?

Please, I�ll bring it back.

There�s no money.
Where�s the money?

You�ll get your money.

- There is nothing there.
- Tell the nurse to pay you.

Have you got money or not?
Does the nurse have your money?

- You�ll get paid, don�t be afraid.
- I�m not afraid.

You�ll get your money, my god.

- Good day. The �Krone�?
- No, thanks.

- We�ve got enough. We hurt all over already.
- With the �Krone�, you won�t hurt. Try it!

- No thanks. I�ve got a pile in there, you can have them.
- Nothing. Nothing to see.

- It�s just to look at. I haven�t got money for that.
- No money?

- We haven�t got money. The hospital costs
alot of money. - But the insurance pays�

Maybe for you, but not for us.
They don�t care about us.

- Do you want a paper?
- She�s just been operated on. She can�t say much.

Goodbye.

�Video films to comfort American dogs.

Dog-owners who have a bad conscience
about leaving their pets alone at home

can now breathe a sigh of relief:

The American businessman,
Charlie Doberman, offers videos for dogs.

This is a film made from
the perspective of the dog

showing the adventure of a dog
going through the streets and parks.

The screenplay was written
by a well-known animal psychologist.�

Good Morning... "Krone"?

- I'd like one but I can't pay for it.
- I'll help you.

Excuse me. Where is it?

Take it out. I don't know if there's enough...
Is there enough?

No? On this side perhaps there's more.

Yes, there's enough.
A 20-shilling-note.

I'll leave the rest out. "Krone" or "Kurier"?
- Krone, please.

Three� and ten.
Shall I put it back?

Thank you. Have a nice Sunday.

My God�

I've got no Austrian girlfriend.
No time. I work 13 hours every day.

No time for a girlfriend.
I can't have an Austrian girlfriend.

I think, when I marry, I must marry a woman
from my country. Not a woman from another country.

Go in a row! Bob Marley, go in!

You, stand in line.

In line, I said.

Good, you, you're last.

He was on his pitch,
but at 6.45 he left to fetch an umbrella.

That took 5 minutes.

I've been working for almost
10 years with vendors,

but that's the first time one of them
left his pitch to fetch an umbrella. Unbelievable!

But there's also something else,
something not yet settled.

Once he arrived 3 hours late
or didn't come at all.

He said it was teeming.

It was the same for everybody�
and when you already know that business

will be bad on such a day�
150 others worked without umbrella.

You can't leave your pitch just
because you need an umbrella.

How many does he sell Saturdays?
- 20 - 25 papers.

"Krone" or "Kurier"?
- He didn't even sell 3 "Kurier".

Did he get 100 papers?
- He had 100 papers.

He needs 40 at the most;
he only needs 30.

"A father shook his baby to stop it crying
- the child died.

Because his 4-month-old daughter would not calm down
and kept on crying Markus G�nzel, 25 years,

shook her until she was dead.

The pathologist certified that the child
had died as the result of mishandling.

On Friday evening,
G�nzel was taking care of baby Nadine

When the mother came home,
the infant was already dead.

The young man admitted later that he had
shaken the child until blood came out of its nose."

My name's Renate, I'm 29 years old.

As a child I dreamed of having a house
in the country with a very large garden,

raising animals, a kind husband
and later on children.

In the morning I'd make the beds first,
then I'd vacuum,

wash the floor, polish, water the flowers,
go shopping,

cook lunch, wash up,
then clean the kitchen thoroughly,

the bathroom, WC, see to the flowers in the hall,
then do the washing iron,

then if I had time I would sew or knit.

Get up at 6. Make breakfast, put the dishes away,
go shopping, cook lunch, in the meantime tidy-up.

In the evening they all come home, eat dinner,
I put it all away, wash up again and that was it.

If by chance I had some time left,
I'd go round the shops with my little girl,

I'd also have a nice dog,
a black poodle and he'd also need me.

My day begins with my wife
waking me up at about 8.30

asking me whether I intend to go to the office.

Then I get up, wash myself, take a shower,
have breakfast, get in my car, then it's about 9.30.

I go to the office,

there's usually a message for me to call customers
who have problems, which I take care of.

At 4 p.m. I go home,
have a bite to eat,

talk to my wife about the latest news

then I read the paper or watch television.

A normal working day starts at 5 a.m.,
I get up, have a quick breakfast,

take the dog out, then I catch the tram
so that I'm in Neudorf by 6,

see the boss at 6.30,
then he sends us out.

There until 9 because as a
scaffholder you can't work so long,

a cooked breakfast from 9 to 10 a.m.
Then work form 10 to 12.

Lunch break for one hour,
work until 5 p.m. with a short break at 3 for beer.

I go home at 5 o'clock, not straight away
because after work I have a beer and then go home.

At home I read the paper then watch TV until late
if there's something worth watching. Next day it all starts again.

I'm divorced and I live alone with my son,
this is my flat, there's the living room,

now we go into the children's room,
it was planned for 2 children,

the bathroom, the toilet,
and this is a room where I keep all my animals.

Chici, a female hamster,
and Charlotte, a female hamster also,

my budgies, my canaries, my guinea pigs
and Polli, my dwarf rabbit.

Hello. I'd like a flat, in the 20th or 9th district.
Do you have anything vacant?

Your nationality?
- I sell newspapers.

Your nationality?
- From Bangladesh.

Then you won't get a lease.
- Ok, thank you. Goodbye.

We've got an allotment on the edge of town
and there's always a lot to do all year round.

In autumn it's of utmost importance
to remove the dead leaves,

and water the trees well,
especially the pines.

Not forgetting to plant the spring plants
and naturally take care of the lawnl my husband does that.

Correct. Today we planted almost 100 tulip bulbs
and if they all come up, I'll be very happy.

For the lawn I use Thomas-flour.

Lawn, lawn, that's the problem.
What I used to use, no longer exists.

I'm trying something else now, but I don't know whether
it will be as good as the other.

But you should have seen how upset
my neighbour was because we had the best lawn.

This year we need a lot of snow,
that's very important, because of the humidity.

That thing there, no more Bender.

Then the neighbour who lives behind comes and says:
"Come and have some coffee"

or they come and have coffee with us�
that happens�

By itself.
- �By itself, just like that.

Since we have our garden at the back
and the neighbour has the one next to it,

when you plant some vegetables
you're right next to your neighbour,

then well, it's fatal, you start talking whilst you're weeding,
then she says: "It's so nice today, we could have a barbecue."

Then the decision's made.
When my husband comes home at 6 I say:

Listen at 6.30 our neighbour will light a fire
and we'll all sit together, it's super.

That's not possible in a flat.

It wouldn't be possible in our part of town
even if people wanted to do it.

But I don't think they even want to.

And for Stephen the garden's paradise,
for a child it's great in any case.

He has so many friends.
- He gets on his bike and rides around all day.

From the sandpit to a paddling pool,
you can't give that to a child in a flat.

Well, you accept the work that the garden gives,
because the advantages are enormous.

This is my wife, Renate. I love her very much.
Good mother for my children, good housekeeper,

works well, does not betray me.
I'm not home much� but all in order�

irons my washing� what shall I say�
I give her a good life.

I'm good husband.
I think she loves me too,

because I have two children as well
and I love them too.

Come in!

You're drunk, old boy. I haven't got a car.
- I do, but you don't care.

Monday evening: Controlling.
Monday evening, control. 19. 3.

Monday, 19.3.
Start of work 7.15pm, region 1.

Rauscher Street, J�ger Street,
not on his pitch.

I live here with 5 children, this is my home.

Hello� Are you taking a break?
- Yes.

Yes? Then don't stop your colleague from working.
He hasn't got a break.

He has to work. Please do not chat with your colleague
during your break when he doesn't have a break.

Else there is no point in it.

Praterstern, route 78, no presentation.
Both hands in his pockets. Papers under his arm. 8.12p.m.

Good evening, how are you?
- Well, thank you.

I thought you were ill.

Because you don't show yourself and don't approach cars.
Be good and go up to the cars.

Okay, good. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Good day boss. - Hi� There's no basic salary today,
you're not wearing the placard.

Me coming now, from Floridsdorf.
Me fetch paper, complete edition.

That doesn't stop you from� What's your pitch number?
- I fetch second edition.

Your number?
- 156.

Number 156, 7.07pm, no placard round his neck.
That is a definite instruction!

I believe you, go on.
Only today you must wear your "Fundgrube"

placard round your neck and you didn't,
you just stand there,

Now you go back to your pitch and hang
the placard round your neck. Okay?

Yes, Okay�
- I want to see you put on the placard immediately.

Listen, boss, I have to go to
Strebersdorf at once�

And tell your colleague to come here at once.
He did not wear his placard either.

Send your colleague to me at once.
Send him to me, that one over there.

You, you go back to your pitch
and put on the placard immediately.

Tell your colleague to come here at once
and you go back to your pitch.

Now back to your pitch
and put on the placard right away.

When I go for the 2nd edition by car, I must�

But you weren't in the car,
you were over there with those people.

Tell your colleague to come here at once
and you go back to your pitch.

Were you wearing the placard before?

You're sure?

Then I didn't look properly.
By the way, this morning, too many papers on my pitch.

�Come to the next meeting and we'll see.
And make a good presentation.

"Krone", "Kurier"! Right now. In front of me.
As it should be. "Krone", "Kurier"!

Come to the meeting on Wednesday and we'll talk about it.
Wednesday at 12 o'clock.

Hello, big boss.
- Number?

My pitch number, 170.
- Your number?

Pitch number 104.
- Pitch number 104. No premium today.

Both left their pitch. Chatting.
- No "Krone". No more "Krone"�

It doesn't matter.
I've watched you chatting for over an hour.

It is possible that he comes to fetch some copies,
but that doesn't stop him going back

to his pitch and you to yours.
It only takes him a minute to fetch a few papers.

Go back to your pitches!

I'm a cook, I love my job but
when I'm alone at home in the evening

I feel a bit lonely. My name's Maria,
I'm 26 years old, I'm pretty, but sad.

Hello, Ma Sala�m. Why aren't you holding a newspaper?
Your hands are empty, why?

Me sell� - I don't like it if you don't
have a paper in your hands to present it.

The papers, you must hold them and present them.
- This man buy�

Not important! You have to present the paper.
- I always do it like that.

Present it immediately, will you?

Properly, I want to see you do it,

put the "Krone" inside the "Kurier".

Your number?
- Pitch 153, 7.15p.m., no presentation.

Cancel premium. Next time I'll come and look.
You don't usually work negligently.

I must always work like that. Ask Mr. Vogel.
- I want you to do it like that, in the evening as well.

Okay.
- Ma Sala�m.

Have a drink with me.
- To love or to nonsense?

Don't talk so much. Cheers.
- I love you. Don't take it seriously

Friendship, that's fun.
- More precious than anything else.

I want to make love. I'm common.
- One doesn't speak about it.

For me you've got an Arab quality, really, so round.
- Now you seem to be a bit Spanish, that's crazy.

Mediterranean!
- You're an Egyptian.

Yes, so what?
- I'm proud to be an Egyptian.

Yes, very proud... Can I touch it? Nice material.
- Not further! Not me!

Nice material. Pretty blouse.
- You naughty with me. I pinch or what?

That skirt�
- You seem a bit strange to me now.

Can I have something else to drink?
This man makes me nervous.

How shall we accept the extraterrestrials
that have such an odd appearance.

Oh blessed art.
In how many dark hours.

Where life wore me down

Have you made my heart beat.
To the rhythms of love.

In a better world.
In a more beautiful world.

Often a sigh.
Flowed from your harp,

A sweet chord,
Opening heavens to me.

O blessed art,
I thank you.

"To commemorate a new series dedicated to Austria,
the "Kurier" gives everyone a sticker "I love Austria" for the car,

attach� case, office, letterbox
or even for your front-door.

To show that despite the Norikum and
Lukona scandals you still support your country.

To show that in this period of change in East and West
you are proud of the democratic values in Austria.

To indicate that you want to be part
of the new Austria of the Nineties."
