There's no key here!

I'm tired of waiting out here.

To take all the valuabIe stuff along,

we'd need a truck.

You're always so materialistic.

Mama...

Fine, go ahead and die.

You know...

We have to prepare mentally for having your dad around again.

Remember the conversation we had after we last visited him?

You said people get used to being apart.

But I'm actually looking forward to him.

Maybe you are...

Hey, we're going to walk.

You're bleeding.

Did your dad know about me?

Of course.

What's alI our stuff doing here?

Stay here! Come on, tell me!

I was going to teIl you on the trip, but we were having so much fun

that l just forgot. -What are you talking about?

Promise you won't get mad.

Hey, you. -Hey, you.

What happened? -No big deal.

Did you hit your mother?

Answer me!

We're not going back to Portugal.

Hey, hey, hey!

Oh, no, you don't!

There!

What's your problem? -Jerk!

What? -l thought we were selling the house!

Who cares where we live? -Maybe you don't...

I'm going back with you. -We're staying here.

Now l've got you!

Go away!

Sit down for a minute.

I really missed you a lot. -Liar.

I can prove it to you.

Why did they release you early, anyway?

So, are you coming along? -l want to go home.

Come on.

Fucking dealer.

45 1 0:09:23:1 2

You could work as real estate agents, like the Levants.

Carla said you don't need special training.

WouId you like us to do that?

Can you get us some gin? -Coming right up.

I was locked up in that damn cell for 1 5 months.

And now l'm back here...

Master of my own fate...

And what do l see around me?

Nothing but cranky, grouchy faces.

Hello? Does anyone hear me?

We're going to find you a job.

So get used to the idea.

Pretty hard-nosed, aren't you?

Don't tell me one of those pimply guys managed to lay you?

Oh, leave her alone. -All right.

So, tell me, how was it? -You were gone too long to meddle now.

So I'm right.

By the way, our daughter worries that we're losers.

She better watch it or we'll sell her to a harem.

Can you stop that? It's disgusting.

Can l help you, Monsieur?

Yes.

Your driver's license and...

... car documents, pIease.

Of course. Where are they? -Here.

Just a moment.

Just be quiet, whatever happens.

Your vehicle's registered in Portugal...

You have a BeIgian passport and a German driver's license...

And then you have two addresses...

Where are you currently registered as a resident...

... Mr. Dominguez?

l, uhm...

Okay, get out of the car, pIease.

I'd Iike a look inside the trunk.

What was the purpose of your trip to Belgium?

We were invited to a wedding.

Open your suitcase, please.

1 200, 1 300, 1 400, 1 500, 1 600...

1 700, 1 800...

1 700, 1 800...

...1 900... and 2000.

What's up? -Nothing.

Are you bored? -No, l can't sleep.

No wonder.

Why? -You'd get tired if you worked.

How would you know? -Experience.

Smartass.

AIl you bought was beer?

These are hard times to... digest.

Are you trying to bIow yourself?

I thought maybe you'd do that for me. -Shall l?

Don't bite off more than you can chew. -lf l do a good job, will you Ieave?

Not if you do it well.

You could clean up a little here. It's a total mess.

You're a woman, and you live here, right?

Shut up.

Take care of your own problems, okay?

l'm trying.

So does your offer still stand?

You must be desperate. -Not at all.

Yes, you are. -No, l'm not.

You couldn't afford me, anyway.

You think we fit in here? -l have no idea.

''You rebelled against everything I stood for.

Thus it is my greatest wish that you return to your parental home. ''

Maybe you can give up your gypsy life now that l'm no longer here.

May your child stay with you till she comes of age

and be happier than you were wlth me. '' Your loving Father

Amen.

He left aIl Iiquid assets to my brother? -That's right.

We're going to invest anyway.

Who do you mean by ''we''?

My wife and l.

Your late father often wondered what sort of company it was.

Import-Export.

Rugs, Algerian tiles... traditional handicrafts.

But problems with the tax authorities

almost ruined us, sadly. -What does that mean?

We never benefited from tax funds, so why should we put up a sign

saying how we earn a living?

Defining oneself and one's place in society through the work one does

seems legitimate enough to me. I guess you disagree.

Do you mind if I ask you a question? -Go ahead.

What offence caused you to be sentenced to prison?

You get straight to the point, don't you?

Let me ask you a question.

What does your repulsive after-shave remind me of?

Say, why don't you invite me for a nice cup of tea?

Just us two... But you want me to piss off, don't you?

I don't mind a man-to-man talk now and then.

Shake your Iegs...

I have the feeling...

... you're ashamed of me.

Want a drag?

Have I changed so much for the worse?

Come on, Benny!

Benny!

I've got her! l've got her! -Stop it!

He can't wait to get his hands on you.

We'll sell all that fancy crap.

If you touch so much as a cup...

Had l known you'd act all stuck up... -What?

Then l wouldn't be here!

At least l'm not wanted by the police. -l forgot how incompetent you are.

You know why l didn't telI you we were going to stay here?

Tell me. -'Cause I didn't know

what state he'd be in... or whether he'd come at all.

Good morning. -Morning.

Uh oh, now there's going to be trouble.

Well, weIl, who are you? Are you lost?

You're...

You're not a student here, are you?

As you can see. Can you get me a chair?

Get out.

Come, that's enough.

In you go, little pig!

My ideas...

... aren't all business-related.

You know what l mean?

That speaks for you, Darling.

And, where do we go from here?

You have a plan yet?

If Didier pays...

... we'll be okay for money.

Hey, you bum.

Not feeling well? -Go back upstairs.

Depressed at the thought of yourself, huh?

I wish l were a tough guy who doesn't give a shit, but l'm not.

No one to blame but yourself. -AbsoIutely.

Man, eight years already... Seems like forever.

Rosa Ieft me, Stevie.

Without saying a word.

You can sleep upstairs with me.

In the other bed.

And I myself told her to, that's the worst part.

But that she would just take off like that...

And I still have all her things. What am I supposed to do?

I can't just throw them away.

You can give them to me. I don't have anything.

I know that's a Iie.

Axel told me you stole 2000 euros from him.

I'll buy you some new after-shave.

Yours just smeIls of alcohol.

That's Ingmar.

He used to be my private tutor. UnfortunateIy he fell in love with me.

My parents found out and immediately fired him.

Oh, well...

We went to Brussels to find a tutor who was gay.

Why don't you go to a normal school? -They won't let me.

Let me see. -No.

Come on!

I don't have a bathing suit with me.

SilIy littIe fucker.

And? ls it good? -Yup.

So, tell me... How was it?

To fuck Ingmar?

What? -What?!

And? Come on, l'm curious.

And you?

Don't have the guts to tell me yourseIf? -Stop it!

Shut up, l'm talking to Ingmar.

Your pal's in jail, you fuck his wife? -Stop it!

Go to your boyfriend. -You're being a total asshole!

Was it a one-time thing or is it still going on?

Just lay off, wilI you? -Come on, tell me!

Calm down, okay? -Oh, are you stilI fucking?

Just shut up.

Go away and leave me alone!

The girls invited you over!

Come on in. At the end a woman does it with two men.

KIaus and l have an open relationship. You're my hormone cocktail, Mandy.

But Denise is the one I dream of.

You're such perverts! -What do Stevie's parents do?

She told me they work for the government.

For the government! -Yup.

Yeah, her dad's an ambassador. -Yeah, right! For what?

ln Brazil.

Get a load of that.

Here... write what the person who draws the slip has to do.

Why don't you live with your mom?

She didn't want me.

Bitch.

I'm fully aware that you occasionally...

... have something intelligent to say.

But you know, it's just that you constantly...

... miss the point. Or rather, the... heart of the matter.

It's funny, l agree. But, you know...

... out of consideration for my daughter,

I wish you'd just shut up for a change.

Here.

You're disgusting.

And you're wasting the best years of your life.

Finally we've got German kids your age around, and what do you do?

So? It's my fucking life.

And I'm your dad.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell everyone.

Get out!

Oh, I wanted to say...

... you idiot don't even realize what a chance I'm giving you.

Oh, really, huh?

Really...

You ought to get a gun...

... and just blow us all away.

Why don't you just take this? Here... you can take this along.

Thank you. -What do you think of a tapas... bar?

A tapas bar? -Yes, tapas...

Like in Spain and Portugal. I think that wouId do well here.

How long were you in school Iast year?

Two or three months?

And when was that? -ln the winter.

I always wore that bIue jacket. -That winter was really long, wasn't it?

Yes.

Anyway, they're these little canapes, uh...

There are all sorts of different kinds. With sardines, or Parma ham...

Uh... proof of residence? -l don't want to be rude,

but l have another appointment. Without the necessary papers...

I need a report card to know what grade Ievel she's reached.

Couldn't l take a test? -Yes!

Mrs. Opladen... Our classes are fuIl enough as it is.

I don't even know if you're registered in this school district,

so that she qualifies... -Registered? But you knew my father!

I was at his funeral, yes.

That's true.

But unfortunateIy that's irrelevant here.

Uh... excuse me, this is really alI my fault.

Go wait outside. -Did I mention that we spent

a long time in Spain and Portugal?

Lily is sick.

She drinks.

She's getting treatment.

You saw how her hands were shaking.

Axel can't get his act together.

He's a dreamer.

He's in debt, people are out to get him.

We're stuck here.

Our life is a mess.

I have some money saved up.

I can pay you.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you. -l can't right now.

Can l come in? -l reaIly can't.

I don't drink cola.

I can get some beer or hard liquor. -The guy'd never give it to you.

You have to suck it into your lungs.

Can l sleep over tonight? -What gave you that idea?

I barely know you. -A night at Kim's is 1 00 euros.

You have to clean up my room and do my homework.

Where have you been?

Is everything okay?

Do you like me?

I've been in love with you since you were a baby.

That's sick, man.

What's the matter with you?

Why are you so keyed up?

Listen...

I don't want that, okay?

I can't do that with you.

You're totalIy twisted. You shouId be at a movie...

Or sneaking a joint down by the lake with the others.

Or... necking with some boy to a really bad video.

Someone your own age.

You realIy want to let a guy Iike me have your cute IittIe ass?

You're just like all the others! -Listen...

l like you. I care about you a lot.

Shut up.

Hey, I...

I just hang around here all day.

Go for walks...

Today l bought CDs l don't even like at a gas station, then l heIped Axel.

And now... a while ago I was wondering when Rosa started hating me.

That's who l am.

Wait till l bring the questions out, okay?

Yes, Boss.

You have to get cIoser.

lt's 8:50 now. I'll be back at 1 1 :50.

That trailer floor you're making is too thin for the horse.

Come on.

Come on!

What's Brazil like? -Nice.

When will your parents be back? -Depends.

Depends on what? -The embassy in Sao Paulo.

Isn't that in Rio? -Yeah.

I thought so, too. -What are we doing today?

No idea. -What's the country code for Brazil?

I'm all out of cigarettes.

The country code for Brazil?

Oh, I've got it.

0-3-2-4-2...

Sorry.

Hello, can you put me through to Elizabeth Opladen, please?

Yes, we'll wait.

Elizabeth! How nice that you're home!

How are you? Yes, great.

Everything's just great. Stevie's father?

What? He hasn't recovered?

He's taking strong anti-depressants?

He's not allowed to drink? That's terrible!

I'm sure he's not very happy about that, the old boozer.

How are you doing with the methadone?

What?! You had a relapse?

Oh, you poor thing!

So, when are you two coming back to Germany?

Your daughter? She's sitting next to me.

You want to say hello to your mom?

Come, sit down and join us.

Can we borrow some of your clothes?

Look.

It looks just like my mom's. Only the cut is different.

I told you she steals.

Are you a junkie, Stevie?

Yup, ever since l was ten. -All she does is Iie.

Where are you going? -l'll get you some of my mom's things.

Your parents have a weird ethos.

They're way more whacked-out than mine.

I don't even know what that is... ''ethos.''

What do you mean? -Being with lngmar

What do you mean? -Being with lngmar

reminded me what it's like. -What?

To feel something when you fuck. -Oh, excuse me.

Have you Iost it?

Pull yourself together!

You realIy want to fight, huh? Fine.

Huh? What?

Get off her!

Stop it!

I'm sorry.

Boy, am l glad you caught it.

Can't you stay a little Ionger?

You should keep the wig.

It doesn't look good on my mom, anyway.

Do you feel anything yet?

No idea.

It's probably not enough for three.

Actually, l think l feeI it now.

Did someone steal some of my dope?

Did you get money for it?

Hey...

You want me to stay?

You're sure?

Okay.

Some people do things, others just talk.

Think sitting here wilI make your parents come back faster?

I made some pudding.

Old Branzger wants to talk to you.

Your skills in different subjects vary enormously.

That makes me wonder.

Your... essay shows me...

... you have a talent for describing states of mind.

But that wasn't at all what was asked of you here.

No mistakes in math, but in English,

the handwriting tells me you probably had heIp.

Are they still in Belgium?

I'm going to be in your class.

Arctic summers are short.

lt won't be long before the polar night descends on the North.

lt is the time of the autumn migrations.

The young birds have little time to mature

before setting out on their long journey south.

Though they've never flown the route before,

they find their precise destination thousands of miles away.

Yes.

Yes, okay.

Hands off.

Check!

It finally happened... -What?

I had my first eja... ejaculation.

Didier Pouget isn't home. Please don't leave a message. Thanks.

Hey, look.

Benny, you can't just get in some stranger's car like that!

Where are you now?

Where are you?! -We didn't go that far away.

Tell me where you arel Are you nuts, or what?

Don't yeIl at me.

lt's all my fault. l'm sorry.

Who was that? -His dad.

Don't lie to me!

Fine, it was the police, then.

Knock off the stupid jokes!

Stop it. She's right.

So, tell me... What happened?

Our car was followed. I can't reach our contacts.

They probably know where we're storing it.

We need another car.

If we manage to get the stuff out...

... we'll go to Brescia, via France.

Where? -lt's near Milan.

Once we're out, we'll pick a city, okay? -We're not going back to Germany?

No.

Your little friend wilI have to find a way to get home himself.

You better not start to cry.

You don't even speak ltalian.

I bet he stole it.

What wilI we do about the boy? -Well, we can't go back into town.

Don't worry, my boy...

I'm sure Lily will fix you up with a deluxe ride home.

Yeah, right.

Come on!

And you're sure?

Needs to be trimmed again.
