Original subtitles

Aren't you freezing?

- Say, is it still far? - What?

- Hey! - Just a moment...

Playgirl- Berlin is worth a sin

Leave that... look, the radio tower!

Really? That means we're almost there...

The radio tower.

Aaaaah!

Aaaaaai!

It's so beautiful...

Written and directed by Will Tremper

- May I? - We're there. The hotel over there...

Hotel Railroad. A room Berlin style.

- You're kidding... this dump? - Wait, you'll see.

Hello boss. Did you have a good trip?

Come on, get our stuff out.

- What now? Should I really move in there? - Of course, he's already unpacking.

- Get out, I'll park the car. - Okay.

Man, I'm tired, I can feel it now. An eight hour ride...

May I introduce?

- That's Mr. Schwertlein, my assistant. - 007, pleased to meet you. Have a good trip?

007? Are you a secret agent?

Just go inside. I'll be there in a minute.

- Apartment or hotel? - Hotel.

- I see... - What's that supposed to mean? I see...

- Who's that chick he brought here? - She won't stay.

- Bet? - Why's that?

She's got class, I can see that.

- You with your classy chicks... - Ah, stop it.

No, I want him personally.

I know him from Rome. Excuse me, I need to talk to him personally.

He gave me his business number because of that.

Yes of course, I see.

Yes of course, I could take a cab.

Isn't it close to Ku'damm? No?

What a shame, I always thought...

All right, I'll come over... just a second.

Jerusalem street...

47-49 Jerusalem street... all right.

See you.

- A telephone virus broke out, right? - Just follow me, Louis.

Where is Bogdan?

- He's making a phone call. - Yes...

so do me a favour and bring my suitcase out again. I'll get a cab.

- You're leaving already? You won't stay? - You don't have to tell Bogdan.

But he's my boss, if he comes out again and you're gone, it'll be my fault.

You don't want to do me this small favour?

Man, she's got class...

Taxi! Taxi!

You're fast...

- I'll help you. - No problem, I'll do it. - Thank you so much.

You live here, right? I'll call you.

I'd be delighted.

Have a good ride!

She's gone, right? Thank goodness...

She's crazy.

- I underwent something... - You?

- You don't believe that, right? - No, I don't...

You'd better go to Heiden with stuff like that.

She seems to have studied law and earns more than all of us.

On several occasions...

...I came to the decision...

this should be in your hands.

Dammit Yakin, did we get that contract signed last night?

It wasn't signed. D'you want to see him?

- Understand? - What's up?

It was pushed towards you, I think...

...you should deal with it yourself.

Heiden, law department please.

Just take Hermann, the FDP party behaves as if they have to build the opposition.

Did you read the letter from Schiess?

- What did you do with the girl? - The girl?

She's coming over, should arrive here any minute.

Here?

Didn't I tell you to keep her away from me?

No, she's just gonna pick me up.

I'll take her for a swim, that's the best solution, right?

But try to get rid of her then.

....

....

....

Miss Borowski is here.

All right, I'm on my way, see you tonight, right?

All right, but call me later!

Outside.

Miss Borowski? You're Alexandra Borowski?

And you're Mr. Lahner who tried to ditch me so kindly on the phone before.

Ditch? Such a word we don't use for a pretty young woman like you.

- No, Mr. Steigenwald... - I don't really care, you know.

I'm in Berlin for the first time in my life and just need some contacts.

That's the reason why I called.

The good Joachim must really have been frightened when he heard my name, right?

Of course not...

Mr. Steigenwald is in Sweden currently and won't be back for 14 days.

I'm going for my weekly swim at the Olympia stadium, want to join me?

I'd love to.

There she goes and was never seen again.

Good Siegbert just needs to open his hands, look at this, doctor.

Such a girl, she should be 20 now...

...wait, two years ago she was 18, yes, she's 20 now.

And she's brought all her luggage...

leaves the taxi behind...

and of course Lahner pays for it, such a cavalier.

- The jaguar over there? - Yes.

Very chic!

You're such a darling, Mr. Lahner, could have paid it for myself.

But maybe you can put it on Steigenwalder's expense account.

Of course.

I bet he invited you to live at his place, right?

- When you're in Berlin sometime. - Possible.

But if I did, would be the question.

BTW, let's talk of something else, for example what's your first name?

Call me Lahner or Bert, I don't care at all...

Bert like in Herbert?

Don't expect me to unveil my first name the very first minute.

I sense something terrible...

Tell me what's Bert supposed to mean.

- Siegbert. - No!

- Siegbert der Sieger (the winner)! - Very funny.

Are you catholic btw, Siegbert?

Excuse me, you'll have to talk louder.

I've never heard anyone talk as quietly as you.

I always lose my voice when I'm falling in love.

What did you lose?

What have I lost? My feelings.

Yes...

It's like that in the thick of it.

So you're Steigenwalder's right hand? Is it a good job?

What do you have to do exactly, are you a secretary or accountant?

Are you finished? You're really able to embarrass an innocent man...

I always pose such questions but don't expect an answer.

All right, I'm the chief of Steigenwalder's office.

With enough money to feed a wife and children.

My own apartment, a bachelor...

Good god.

Hildchen, I didn't expect you here...

- No... - That's Steigenwalder's girl, he met her in Rome two years ago.

Isn't she the same one as last Saturday?

Excuse me, she just arrived this morning.

May I introduce, this is Ms. Borowski...

- Hello. - Hello.

My... fianc�e.

Shall we sit down up there?

And then from San Francisco to NY, and from NY to the Bermudas and...

then back to San Francisco.

You can't imagine how wonderful San Francisco is. Really beautiful.

- Are you crazy? - I'm hungry.

In a minute.

You spend the whole day here with your fianc�e, Siegbert?

- What game are you playing here? - Nothing, darling.

She�s telling us her travels.

And who paid for them? Of course you were invited?

I worked, Miss, even if you don't believe it.

I'm one of the best paid models.

Let's change the subject. Where did you learn to be a model?

In Paris, guess you've been there.

Paris Planing is the best agency.

I was at Dorian Gray, that's the best one.

I can believe that, you look like it.

What's that supposed to mean?

Exactly like you've understood it, Miss.

- That's too stupid for me. - Stop it, girls, don't be that sharp.

Two top models from Paris.

A top model? With that size?

- That's ridiculous. - Stop it.

Leave it be, really.

Btw, I'll go home now, I mean...

go look for a hotel. Could you get my stuff from the car?

I'll put you up in the Kempinski at Steigenwalder's expense.

No, thanks.

Why's that? Don't be stupid. If he invited you, just accept it.

He didn't, and if he had I wouldn't accept anyway. So come on.

What's up? You're leaving?

So can we go now?

Good- bye, Miss...

- And good luck. - Don't bother, Miss Browski.

Stop it.

Borowski, Hildchen, Alexandra Borowski.

I have to take care of her. Orders from up there.

Not an order, Mr. Lahner.

I'll pick you up later. Arrivederci!

You know, Hildchen is exactly the kind of woman a man has to marry.

Reasonable, practical, down to earth and faithful.

Faithful? No she isn't, don't fool yourself.

Come on, I'm gonna show you the Olympic stadium, you have to see that.

Where Jesse Owens ran 10.2 and the biggest soccer competitions were held.

The only German stadium having 100,000 seats.

Ah, that's making my heart race. Who did Owens run away from?

Jesse Owens, the fastest 100 metre runner in the world, from Armin Hari.

Who already 1936 at the Olympics...

- Hey, you're aggressive. - 1936? That's strange.

I wasn't even 7. I mean it was 7 years before I was born.

Give me a kiss.

Take your hand out of your pocket.

Come on.

Hey 007!

- Say, where do you come from? - I've got my relations.

- Can I do something for you? - Yes. You came just at the right time.

Is it your car? Crazy...

Can't you take me to some small, not too expensive hotel near Ku'damm?

- You know something like that? - He belongs to you? - Yeah.

- But I'll leave him here. Can't you take me someplace? - Yes.

Unfortunately, I have to say good-bye, a friend sent me his car.

Could you give me my luggage? We'll see each other again, right?

Is it Peter van Eyck? Where do you find these friends all of a sudden?

They just come to me like fleas to a straw dog.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, don't be offended, I just read that somewhere.

- What are you doing tonight? - Hey!

One doesn't just touch other cars like that!

Don't be so square Siegbert, I'm in a hurry. D'you give me your number?

Call Steigenwalder's office, it's occupied even on Sundays.

007, why don't you defend yourself, you're strong like an ox, aren't you?

Do something or are you impressed by a black gay?

I'm not, of course.

- He's a savage. - Must do something against it.

- What are the names of him and his sister? - He's called Dudu and she's called Inge.

He's called Dudu...

Man, the Ged�chtnis church, the Ku'damm.

We found a parking lot, miss, if that's not a good omen...

- Augusta is the name of the place, right? - No, over there, fifth floor, no elevator.

Hotel Atlanta? Doesn't look that romantic.

No, you go to Rio Rita.

The place for spoiled demands, 2nd backyard, 5th floor.

Rio Rita? Sounds fabulous, just right for me.

But I won't come up with you.

- I don't want to meet my sister and the nigger. - What was the landlady's name again?

Aunt Detta, give her 007's best regards.

- I'll do that, ciao. - And who'll pick up the luggage?

I'll send someone down in a minute.

Hello. Is Aunt Detta there?

....

....

....

There's another girl asking for Aunt Detta.

I'd like to know why none of these people have any money.

....

....

....

Hello?

Did you ring the bell? I had to take care of my guests.

- Did Irene open the door? - Yes, the girl opened.

- Hello. - I'm in Berlin for the first time and would like a room.

You're aunt Detta, right?

You know, who told you...

Best regards from 007.

Ah Jochen, what's the boy doing?

Since his sister lives here, I just don't hear from him anymore.

He brought me here, my luggage is still downstairs btw.

His best wishes and you should give me your best room.

You know, the cheap rooms are already...

I don't want a cheap room, the girl also said something like that.

I want the most expensive one.

Of course, my love, you'll get the best and cheapest room I have.

You don't have to say that.

....

....

Doctor? What's wrong with you?

My god, seemed it was another crazy night...

We better put that back now...

But you know this is gonna help me out immediately.

May I introduce, Dr. Zieser...

- and... my god, I don't know your name. - Alexandra Borowski.

- Excuse me, I have to reduce it. - No problem...

Doctor, doctor...

Irene, we have a new guest in room 15.

The luggage is still downstairs. Go and pick it up.

Room 15 is 35 bucks per night.

I know that, Irene. That's none of your business.

When she flees through the back door at the end...

like the student last year it's my fault again.

Aunt Detta...

And this is your room. Hope you like it!

Ah, I love these hidden old rooms at the end of a long floor...

- Old rooms? - And the back yard...

It's another one than the one I saw from downstairs.

Yes, that's because it's the 2nd back yard.

2nd back yards are always nicer...

Ah, I feel much better now.

But I don't want to, they should just imprison me if there's no other way.

Stop it, stop it.

My father went through the same when we went to the US...

Never mind about you and your father...

Excuse me, I'm your new neighbour, I just wanted to say Hi.

Yes, I know that you're in trouble because of your love and..

that you have to undergo burdens and disrespect...

I just wanted to tell you that not all people are like that.

I mean you can fully trust me.

If you have problems or somebody is harassing you.

If you need help, just knock at my door, I'll be there for you day and night.

- D'you understand? - What d'you want?

That you are haunted, you're haunted, right?

I mean because he's different, because he's black.

Well, before you, nobody else ever haunted us, you know.

Really.

Excuse me, I just thought...

I know your brother, you know. Please excuse me.

Close the door.

Do you need a ticket for the living theatre for tonight?

- Can I have two? - Of course.

Of course he's nervous, look how he's breaking out...

He always does that, he was born hysterically.

That's not true, his mother was all calmness.

And his grand- father, in 1942, I remember it well...

ran 17.5 during an air raid.

Beat Kopernikus by two lengths.

We can't complain that he dislikes car's emissions.

I'll be back.

Good morning, Mr. Steigenwald.

The beautiful stranger, that's nice you're coming out here for once.

I always wanted too but Lahner's always so busy.

And now you even send him to the swimming pool?

Swimming pool? Ah that... but it was his own idea.

I met him with this lady by accident.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't know.

- Mr. Steigenwald, come over please. - Excuse me.

- Are you flirting with him again? - Me? The other way around.

I think the horse doesn't deserve that.

You want my opinion? Don't have one.

I was with her in the Olympic stadium. A fabulous girl.

Physically, of course.

Inwardly completely crazy, right?

As soon as we were alone, she asked me to kiss her.

Exactly like in Rome.

I wanted to bring her home, but all of a sudden, such a...

young guy appeared.

You did it perfectly well, Lahner.

Wait for the sequel.

- Just now Mrs. Ziever told me she called again. - Who?

Alexandra Borowski, the girl.

She called again? So what does she want?

Nothing or maybe something from me.

I was lucky, we ran into Hildchen at the Olympic stadium.

Yeah I know, she told me earlier.

Why did she call again?

She wants me to go to the theatre with her. She got two tickets.

Go once more..

and kiss her again. Can't be so difficult.

And what about Hilde?

I feel bad to have taken a girl friend for the few private hours at night.

If you'd told me before, I could've gotten rid of her but...

Just go one more time, Lahner.

I'll talk with Hilde but go one more time.

The girl's dangerous, you know.

I can't go into details, you just have to believe me.

She's coming.

Hilde!

What's happening now? I was watching you...

- Can't be anything good. - There you see...

- I'll go to the car to change. - You're leaving?

Listen Hilde, you're a smart girl, right?

If I tell you what it's about, you'll understand me.

Me? I'm not smart at all. Where's he going?

Take your place for the ball.

What you're doing is checking the flow.

Get down on your knees.

Get down on your knees!

You're so beautiful the way you run.

Your precious arms, your tears, your petals

ooze down your lovely face.

Get down... Get down... Get Down!

You amuse me my dear. Crawl!

Crawl you worm!

You are going to follow in the wake of the boat.

Brought to sea in Asia as an exile.

Look at yourself again...

Fairest of the fair...

....

....

Your lover would hang his head in shame.

Try it up on your feet Madame. Don't worry.

I'm not jealous.

I don't need that where I'm going.

The herring is the best you can get south of Copenhagen.

Say, Siegbert, you were so uninterested...

at the theatre, it was horrible.

- I dragged you into a famous performance... - Dear child...

- D'you want the herring or not? - Okay.

Twice the No. 5 and Carlsberg.

My mother said to me...

that I should always say yes...

when a man is recommending me a speciality.

Really?

When you're taking me out, I at least want something out of it.

When I sit beside you at some performance...

in which I'm not in the least bit interested.

Men in women�s dresses make me angry.

You're so conventional, that's great, Siegbert.

I received the tickets from a great nigger living at my place.

And his sister... I mean his girl friend...

- She's terrible. - I like...

Whatever.

Whatever?

You don't like niggers?

Honestly yes. I don't like niggers...

living here and approaching our girls.

You're a racist, a racist fanatic.

- I would prefer to say Mr. Lahner to you again. - Yeah...

Are you really this narrow-minded, this backward?

- You should be ashamed... - You're like one of these...

hysterical ladies I know from America...

Hysterical? Did you say hysterical?

Admit it, you're tired after the long car ride.

I slept three hours in the afternoon.

I could stay awake the whole night. What are we gonna do now?

I'm a very busy man who needs his 7 hours of sleep.

You're a bourgeois, employed...

a racist, engaged. btw, what's your...

future wife doing tonight?

What's your problem with Hildchen? She's a fabulous girl...

Of course she's defenseless against such a sharp tongue.

She attacked me, I just defended myself.

I know her better.

She's a normal woman.

She's very competent at her job, she can't afford...

Now you can kiss me again.

Me kissing you? You mean the other way around...

No...

- No... - Such impertinence, can't believe it.

I dream from Mister Stranger...

never told me his name...

I don't know where he lives...

but wonderful is his face...

his voice is attracting me...

says "I love you"...

but unfortunately it's just a dream...

and I stay faithful to this dream...

even if I know it's gonna end soon...

I stay faithful to you, I stay faithful to you...

Hello Lahner!

One more melody.

and then it's over...

One more melody...

because I've got to go home...

my piano is dead tired...

I wanted to show him to you, he's the greatest. Paulchen Kuhn.

How tired I am

Just one more coffee.

Just one little piece more...

and the night is over...

That was the melody...

I've got to go home now...

That was the melody...

you two are gonna be thrown out soon...

night's over...

day is taking over...

I would prefer...

we had more time...

but that was the melody...

and that's how it ends.

It's day already and we're still in bed...

Leave that...

What's wrong? You've got to drive.

I'm in love, damn it...

Should I believe you?

You're crazy...

Who shoots a human being...

wanting to cross from Germany to Germany...

is committing murder.

This murder can't be justified...

against his conscience and the law.

Think of Eichmann.

Nobody should believe he could...

one day, when he has to face the law...

I don't understand... he came up and was in a hurry.

Are the Swedes there already? They are?

When they arrive, send them to the casino.

There he was. Just peeked in for a second.

Now he'll be back soon.

Excuse me.

Can I help you? Where are you heading?

Thanks, that's so kind. I'm looking for Mr. Lahner.

This way, it's not far.

But he won't be here now, saw him in the new building earlier.

He's showing the Swedish delegates round.

But I have an appointment with him.

Mr. Lahner always walks round with any visitors.

- Mr. Steigenwald is also present. - Ah, Mr. Steigenwald is here?

Of course.

What are you doing here?

Do you want to talk to me or to Lahner?

To you.

You're still full of surprises, little Alexandra.

Finally a big man... you don't know how small men are these days.

Why in Berlin?

Lahner already told me. I was in Switzerland for three days...

In Switzerland, really? Lahner said you were in Sweden...

But I don't care. You should arrange things better with him.

Kiss me, close your eyes and think of Rome and kiss me...

I'm into a lot of work right now, an American business partner is here...

but I'll try to get rid of them...

- To eat with you tonight. - Tonight...

- Let me think, tonight I think... - Stop this nonsense.

You've got nothing to do and would love to meet me then.

- You're so arrogant, of course I've got stuff to do. - Yes I know...

The business girl of the Western World.

Get lost with this ladder, don't you see you're disturbing?

Should I tell you something? It's a construction site here...

And I'm the constructor. Good day!

It's your money.

So you built it all on your own?

This huge building?

This terribly huge building...

Actually, you're a very pretty girl...

Terrible... I would suffocate here.

I've got to go back or Lahner'll find us. He seems to be pretty much in love.

He's a proper darling, I always wanted a man like him.

Good god, better keep your hands away from him. I gotta go...

You think he's in love with me or also such a joker?

Ciao. And don't forget, we have a date tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Mr. Steigenwald had to leave due to some unforeseen business.

Please, I think that things are so in order that I can say...

also on behalf of Mr. Steigenwald...

that his absence shouldn't have a negative impact on our meeting.

- George, he just left the house. - Where did he go?

Don't worry...

Sit down, we've got to finish this.

I didn't come to Berlin once more for this business.

Take off your pants or...

Let's first find out what really happened.

Yes, Zeberling, what's up, where did he go?

Just like that?

Nothing is all right.

And if it were like that... the contracts are still not signed.

Well.

Btw, did you see that girl, Alexandra Borowski?

She came for him, I saw that...

Where did she go?

Did he maybe leave with her?

I see.

That's it.

Thanks.

Where's my hot milk? Oh, please excuse me.

And the fruit?

You haven't told me yet what brought you to Berlin?

I told you that my father was from Berlin?

I don't remember him very well but...

- because my parents were divorced then... - Yeah...

I don't think it's that important.

- No, it isn't. - I've not been here before.

It's my first time and I always dreamt about seeing all this.

The ruins in which they fought back then...

...where this Hitler was...

...and the Russians. Would love to go to East Berlin once, can you take me?

Why do you shake your head?

With you, I get the impression, I'm very old.

Where this Hitler was, you said?

Where they fought once?

- Unbelievable... - Why's that? How should I know?

Do you think we learned that in school?

They took place here, the big fights with the Russians...

- It's all so interesting, isn't it? - Of course, darling.

It just frightens me, 20 years after...

hearing about it in such lapidary words.

It's... so terrible.

I mean, imagining that...

thousands, millions like you...

don't know more from the present than that...

there were fights against the Russians here.

But isn't it like that?

Do you still remember how we met this Englishman in Rome back then?

Didn't you say that back then,...

as you sat in that bunker, you thought it was all over now?

You said good- bye to life.

You remember that? I had the impression...

- that you weren't really interested. - I wasn't, in Rome, but now I am.

In Berlin, I always have to think about it.

I feel all the time like I'm in one huge Niederwald monument.

You know, the uncle I lived with...

he dragged me each year to this Niederwald monument at lower Rhine.

As a remembrance to some huge war.

70-71.

So Berlin is nothing more to you than a monument.

A museum from the last war.

No, it's just the only thing telling me something about before my birth.

Show me a place somewhere in West Germany...

where you can find a monument to the war and this Hitler.

The bill, please.

We have to talk about this more precisely.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

Don't scream like that. Do you have to wake everybody up?

You put on the light.

It's crazy swimming at this time.

You'll catch a cold.

Don't be so boring.

You don't know how beautiful it is. Come over here.

- Never bathed naked at night? - I have.

Those were the times...

What?

Come out now or you'll drown.

Good idea.

- Carry me, c'mon carry me. - What else?

If you think I'm gonna collapse now, you're wrong.

- Even if it is quite an impertinence. - Don't be like that, Joachim.

- And what now? - Now you're gonna sleep.

And you?

I'm gonna sleep too.

Then let's sleep together.

- Do you think the bed is big enough? - Don't know...

We could at least try if you're not too tired.

You're such a bugger.

But let's do it in the bathtub. Come on.

Anna!

- What's going on with the lady? - She's in the bathroom now.

Tell her if she's not here in 2 minutes, I gotta go.

And Miss Barbara's been waiting for one hour.

My god, I nearly forgot.

Send her here, but fast.

Barbara, come here.

- Coffee? - No thanks.

- What do we have here? - Correspondence from yesterday.

Hold it for a second.

Here you finally are.

I almost didn't see you again. Now I've got to go to the office.

I'm sorry we couldn't talk again.

Try to call me later.

- Here's your breakfast. - And you'll leave me all alone?

Why's that? As long as the sun shines, you'll be fine here.

Barbara, we'll go soon, we're already late anyway.

If it's always like that, you don't have to be surprised, why so nervous.

You don't understand.

He should have flown to Zurich yesterday, so he's gonna fly now, what's the prob.

Don't be so aggressive.

I just say that because you were suspicious he met that girl.

- Do you have everything? - Yes.

- Ah Hildchen is here, too. - Yeah, I made it here by accident.

...drive carefully, I don't want any trouble with him...

We still need the guy.

I don't think so, we experienced the same thing last year with the other house.

Yes I know.

Is he here by the way?

- Thanks a lot. - Your passport.

You can go directly upstairs and...

- What should I tell her? - I'm gonna call her from Frankfurt...

...she should delay the appointment on Wednesday in Mainz in any case.

Good- bye Hildchen.

Director Meier can be reached next week...

Is he still in Kissingen? Terrible...

What I wanted to tell you, if that girl Alexandra calls...

- Tell her I'll call her when I'm back. - I've done that for days.

- Yeah it took some time. - What do you mean, did you see her?

No, it's too hard to get rid of her again.

Well, call me this evening then.

Joachim!

- Siegbert? - Alexandra...

The world's full of surprises. That's why you let me wait yesterday.

Because of Steigenwald.

The whole night, right?

You're crazy.

Please leave, you can't stand here.

Are you all right?

Tell me, what's all that supposed to mean?

First you say "Faster" and then it goes the other way around...

Don't tell me you want to go back to Dahlem now?

I can't, I have to go to work first.

What do you think my boss is gonna tell me if I disappear all the time?

What? Are you crying?

Just go on.

Okay, okay...

I just wanted to ask.

Did he tell you something? Didn't he come along?

If I'd been with you I would have dealt with that ape...

Should I be quiet?

But first I have to stop at the Yugos, they're waiting for me.

Oh boy...

Don't look like that.

Or you'll be in the soup.

Where have you been, you shithead?

You should deal with the customers...

- I'll get going... - You're fired.

Get lost, pack your stuff, for the last time!

Ah, the lady's behind it, of course... a fine how d'you do.

Don't move!

Don't move.

Hold it!

Marvelous. Don't move!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wonderful!

May I take more shots of you and my photographer's team?

- Do you speak English. - I know you, I'm Alexandra.

You know me? You're a model. And your name?

Alexandra. I'm Alexandra...

Thank God. Marvelous!

Hey, we are saved.

Bring the car!

English... French...

Everything?

Lights, candles burn...

Isn't that marvelous.

And that dress... which designer made it?

Stergard,

Stergard? I know that.

Do me a favour, will you. Keep quiet.

- Shut your mouth. - Shut your mouth?

Where did you learn that?

But the people have to get lost. The park's all packed.

- Terrible. - Shut up, my girl!

But Timo, I'm so happy!

Take this and stay away with the blonde.

Blonde's better than black.

Do something with your hair please.

I know how I look best. That's what I get paid for.

Take care of the wig.

Move your right hand up a bit more please.

Can you move your hand please. No, the other one.

More.

More.

Don't move.

Thank you.

Fine.

There... so.

Stand... Right there... Fine.

Don't move!

Don't move.

Don't move!

What is that?

What are you doing there?

Aren't you ashamed?

Photographing naked girls at the wall.

The wall?

Who are you? What do you want?

Don't show off with your wall so much.

- You're never happy, right? - What makes you think that?

You look like it. You think too much.

You think so? Does it show?

I'll just wait until we're done. I'm fed up with Berlin.

When I think about it... no.

Unlucky love.

Nonsense. There's no unlucky love, there is just wrong love.

I just fell in love with the wrong guy.

- But it's over now. - How do you say?

Falling in love is worth a love.

A travel.

A love.

Come on! Stop that!

There? Are you crazy or what?

Do that yourself.

Go up here!

Just do it!

....

I have to give you a check.

Ah money, that's great.

Could you give me cash? I saw some nice dresses...

No, not dollars.

- I give you deutschmark. - That's OK.

Could you give me... I wrote it down. We had 22 days...

22 hours...

up to now. 4 hours for...

3 hours at the wall.

- How much it is? - 4,400 Mark.

What?

You're crazy. What kind of price is that?

That's my price, you should now.

- I earn 200 Mark per hour. - 4,000 what, mark?

4,400 mark.

- That's ridiculous. - 50 dollars is 200 mark a hour.

Yes but. I can't...

Listen. 22 hours.

Five fifty... twenty two.

3,000... 2,000

- 3,000... - No.

- 4,4000 mark. - 3,300 that means.

- 150 per hour. - No.

200. I get 200 an hour.

- 150. - 200.

150.

200.

Come on! There's no reason to fight.

....

500.

500.

500.

.... 10,000.

All right, then I'm gonna get going.

You could at least answer me.

Very good. ....

I told you so.

Now you have to tell me in German.

Hello?

- 200. - There you go.

- You've got runner's legs. - What?

....

Will you sleep with me?

I'd better not. I want to work and nothing else.

If after all I'm gonna fall in love with you too...

That's gonna be terrible.

- I like this kind of girl. - I don't.

It's again too small, look at this...

The dresses were not made for you, Miss Borowski...

Don't forget that.

- What? - In the office they say you fell in love with that girl.

Which girl?

Only Mrs. Ziever could've said that.

Did she also tell you how often she sleeps with Steigenwald?

Did she also say how often she tried to approach me, the dopey cow?

Mrs. Ziever? Not possible.

- Why Mrs. Ziever? - Stop it.

Let's talk about something else.

I expect you to hide it from the office. It's over otherwise.

I expect you to be modern enough...

not to imagine something of a man sleeping with you.

The impression your country gives me...

through colours, flowers...

churches etc...

I integrate...

in my works...

And I think you have necessary today

the inspiration of the marvelous country like Italy.

And the better thing of the collection

is the crossing cut line.

Very nice.

But we have to shape the style a bit for her.

I can give you some impressionable...

I so much like speaking Italian.

I worked in Sicilia.

....

....

Let's start working.

What happens now? Do we go on or do we go home?

My god, aren't you tired?

Of course, when we are done.

You too.

What shall I do now?

Hang it around my neck?

Don't move!

OK, don't move.

Bring me the 35. No! 28.

Why don't you sleep with me?

Am I too small for you?

Because you're such a huge...

such an enormous woman?

Well...

I had the biggest women.

You wouldn't believe me...

Sofia, Anita...

And then this iceberg...

how's she called in German?

....

....

That's all nonsense.

....

If I would sleep with you, I wouldn't today.

Not beat like that.

You're a very nice guy.

I could really fall in love with you.

Go to sleep.

We worked hard, I have to be beautiful tomorrow.

Don't move!

Where did you get the pyjamas?

I found it in the cupboard. There's one button missing.

Are you crazy? Rummaging around in the cupboard without asking me?

Who has time to ask?

Say, who do you think I am?

- The loveliest woman from whole east and west Berlin. - Stop it...

- What's wrong? - My blouse...

Do you know how much it cost? 130 Francs at Galeries Lafayette...

You didn't give me anything at all.

Do me a favour and get out of that pyjama now.

I am already!

You're ruining the whole atmosphere.

Like that, I can't...

Also I'm not used to it.

It's no fun anyway.

Now I don't understand anything anymore.

Do you want to or not?

No thanks, not today.

You're the most demanding man I've ever met.

First you don't find the appropriate record, then you wanna take a bath...

then you put a pyjama on which isn't yours.

Now you're sweet.

Now I don't want to anymore, you asshole.

Don't act offended like that.

- I'm not offended and now get out of here!- Come on now.

My pants... do you know what they cost me?

Red hair, green eyes.

It's not dye, right.

No no...

Hello.

- We don't know each other yet. - I'm delighted.

Hello. May I introduce Miss Borowski?

A lady who's just arrived in Berlin.

Good evening.

How nice to see you.

...came back today...

And you.

How do you do.

I construct everywhere...

he has got problems...

Alexandra.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me what's this supposed to mean?

Please excuse me.

I searched for you everywhere. Called a hundred hotels.

You never left your name.

Why didn't you leave a note?

I was so desperate... I tried so much...

to bring everything to order again.

I almost left Berlin.

It's all good now.

- You are alone, right? - Yes, and you too?

One can say that.

I like you so much.

Me too.

New, sensational.

- Revolutionary. - It's all right, Charles, we know.

It's the new electric shaver from Phillips.

Phillishave 800S.

Sharp, rotary blades...

May I give one advice?

Take Phillips.

You smell so good.

....

Listen, the race is over... where do they wanna go?

You have one for me too?

Here.

Look! We went past there.

- Today? - The radio tower. Not today.

When I came to Berlin. With this Bogdan.

- Who? Bogdan? - This Yugoslavian, I told you.

What Yugoslavian?

- I told you. - Yugoslavian...

A Yugoslavian I came from Frankfurt with.

On account of him, I came to Berlin. You know that yourself.

Ah stop it!

Don't pull a face, I know exactly what's gonna happen now.

All right, a Yugoslavian...

What else? An Italian?

An American? Why not? There are many here.

- Timo is American. - Ah yes...

But I haven't sleep with him yet and you know that.

Not yet...

You know a lot of guys you haven�t sleep with yet...

and I know a lot of men you did sleep with.

You for example.

Stop that nonsense.

You women always have to fumble... don't you have anything else on your mind?

Excuse me but your whole back is full of blackheads.

I have to squeeze them out or they'll ulcerate...

Ulcerate? You're out of your mind, girl...

I've never needed anyone to squeeze my blackheads out.

That's ridiculous.

Before, you spoke in plural.

- You women... - Ah that record...

Nothing.

I just find it all excessively sad.

We're not even married and you already lie in bed with the newspaper.

I may not even squeeze out some small blackheads...

I just wanted to read what they think about Steigenwald's Swiss project.

What's happening with Steigenwald's Swiss project?

That's not important, come closer.

Come here.

What's happening with that project?

- Stupid... - Don't pull that face...

Can't I be interested in Steigenwald's Swiss project?

You're late. My favorite just lost.

How are you? I didn't want to disturb you.

How attentive. Come over to the barn, I have to comfort my little loser.

...That's Mr. Albert from...

Hildchen? In the baggage now too?

No?

Mr. Roloff!

Lahner, you're late!

- Today there's your lucky number running. - I'm never lucky, may I?

Here you are.

Leave me alone for a minute.

Hello my little one, don't care about it too much.

I know you're a competent boy.

This xy descends from the Indians, you know?

Ah, just come in, you're not worried by anything normally.

You spend day and night with Lahner now, right?

Does it disturb you? I called you twice. What do you want actually?

It just disturbs me in the way it puts pressure on Lahner.

He's one of my closest employees.

A man with a strong sense of loyalty.

Are you jealous of me?

I just don't want him to be distracted from his work.

Money, the big man worries about his money.

Because of this darling here I lost a million today.

Such a darling, right?

It won't take too long.

- But hurry up. - Yes...

Hello?

And then...

do you know what that hill to the left means?

That has...

to be the former Reichskanzlei.

Correct.

- There he shot himself. - Fantastic.

That's all that remains.

Who shot himself?

Do I know him?

Antonio! You look fabulous.

You came over.

- Did you find the way by yourself? - I saw your car.

- Is Karian here already? - No but I wanted to show Antonio the other side.

Let's go.

I have been to Seville.

Yeah I have to leave anyway, have someone in the car.

- You have someone in the car? - Yes.

We were in Spandau.

But your car was empty.

But I told her to stay inside.

She's just in love with herself.

With nobody else.

I find her pretty.

Could look at her all day.

You could...

But who could seriously?

Theatre...

- I'll marry her. - You're crazy.

Leave it. I know this kind of girl.

She'll betray you with the first one who attracts her.

Maybe.

Or I'll beat her black and blue until she won't.

This is not the woman for you, Lahner.

Marry Miss Volker...

or sleep with this doll...

Where is Antonio?

He said good-bye, had to leave due to some invitation.

....

Alexandra!

- Siegbert! - We're going.

Coming.

You know, a lady with your flair...

causes certain...

eruptive emotions in men...

or if I might say it in a more folksy manner

you'll always bring men against one another, whether you want to or not.

But that's nonsense, doctor.

I've decided already, I almost accepted his marriage proposal.

- Besides, I love him. - You love him? Whom?

Siegbert Lahner of course.

Lahner? The young man of Steigenwald? You fell for an employee?

Do you have something against employees?

He earns there at least 600 Marks.

He just quit but a man like him will always get along.

That's stupid, excuse the plain speech.

- Why's that stupid? - Don't interrupt me.

You have one of the wealthiest bachelors in Berlin...

in your pocket and just let him go, a woman like you?

Meaning what?

You'll regret it later.

Believe me, you will, a woman like you is not made...

to sit at home and...

wait for her husband, have children...

wait for the next pay rise. Not you!

What do you earn per month, doctor?

- You also live here... - My life is destroyed, Alexandra.

You give away your chances too easily...

You ignore them...

too easily.

We who are cursed...

can't take life too easily.

Who out of us is able to enter...

the circles of...

high finance?

Who is able like you to reach...

with keen stride the other side?

My child.

- My child. - Go away.

Go away. You're a Marxist, I know you, leave me alone, I'm tired.

- Alexandra. - Go away.

Please go away, you're a communist.

I'm not a communist.

May I?

Better not use another one.

One never knows, someone could figure something out.

- What? - Come off it.

You're always full of secrets, Siegbert.

Even if there aren't any.

They didn't participate in the exercise...

but still I have to say...

they did participate...

in the meantime as we...

What?

Oh no...

Really, no...

Ask her what she wants.

Of course.

Well, no... Better to leave it.

No.

Did you see the rockets? There.

Yeah.

How many weapons do they have?

Still the same...

Again...

Mrs. Ziever, didn't I tell you? I don't want to...

No...

All right, connect her then.

Yes?

I'm in a meeting.

Sorry.

Yes...

Okay, if it's really urgent...

When?

Listen, that can't be done...

in any case it's not possible before 6 p.m.

Well...

Thanks, I'm good. And you?

Yes... okay, see you later.

Good-bye.

Such a thing...

And old friend calls me...

Nonsense. She has problems with her husband, what's it got to do with me?

Quite ruthless, this dame, don't you think so?

Shall we proceed?

Why don't you come here? I'll start screaming if you don't...

You're really quite exhausting, my child.

Maybe we should get you checked some time.

Ah, it's terrible, everybody wants to educate me.

Who is everybody?

Lahner? Who else?

Lahner and Timo and 007 and everybody else.

For me you seem quite mobile...

I'll go home now.

Excuse me...

I'm an idiot, I know. I'm always doing wrong, I just tried to bluff.

I just tried to impress you.

But I know myself how fake I am.

I just tried to play a role.

Joachim, help me. You don't know how desperate I am sometimes.

I ask myself what do I want from this man?

Do I love him or...

Is it his good looks or the money he has?

I really annoy myself so much sometimes...

Yeah, I know, that's quite correct.

You've already explained it to me.

I mustn't remind you, right?

In Rome.

I love you.

I love you.

Maybe I don't love you, I don't know.

I just enjoy so much being with you.

Very much.

Even if I know it's all meaningless.

Maybe I also love...

Siegbert Lahner.

Even if I promised myself to never love a man called Siegbert.

You talk too much in my opinion, my love.

I'm convinced you never were in love.

You're just crazy.

Schizophrenic.

A tender schizophrenic.

Alexandra!

Wait!

No!

Come on.

Come on, let's go home.

Come on!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Please leave me alone!

Siegbert...
