Sievers.

We have to remove one of your

testicles. Operative. Immediately.

Oh, I see. Allright.

Nowadays you can gain control of

testicle cancer.

We just have to act immediately.

Can you stay here now?

Today evening we are free.

Hanna Blum, please speak after the

beep.

I don't know, what you're doing right

know, but I'm going under the knife.

Right?

Hanna Blum, please speak after the

beep.

That's it, good bye. I'm lying at St.

Johann, station 12B.

Hanna, damn it, where are you?

Avant-garde medicine.

They cut off your balls and you even

don't get a general anaesthetic.

So you can witness the performance live

first-hand.

Was Modernism really such a good

idea?

I let reality as system of power wash

over me.

But maybe being in a bad mood is your

way of

becoming connected with the world

again?

Just think of something perfectly

positive.

Hanna.

Swab.

- Ah, sh*t.

Excuse me?

Mmh?

- Did you say something?

We fool ourselves.

Oah, I would never do that.

No?

- No.

That's nonsense,

we're not using contraceptives anyway.

Why not?

I don't know.

We stopped, once we were sure nothing

can happen.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Probably one of us is infertile.

Did you check on that?

No.

- You should.

Speculation does only upset.

Do we know each other?

You had an affair with me, '92.

Ruth Fischer?

I had an abortion back then.

From me?

For the creation of stem cells

the crossbreeding of different cell types

is not even necessary anymore.

Didn't you discuss that?

- Yes, we have,

and I understand it in principle,

but really I don't understand it.

Well, then come and visit me

at the institute.

I will.

I'm hungry.

We are all hungry.

- Where are you going?

Schuuuusterjunge!

Our team, our pride! Union Berlin!

Bye!

- Okay, bye.

Now they're gone.

We had that coming.

Graz, isn't everybody catholic there?

-And?

You too?

- Of course!

I don't know about you Eastern

Germans.

Me neither, an enigmatic tribe.

My grandma always said

you were the most dedicated Nazis

among all.

Well, everybody's good for something.

Yes, but what's going on with her?

- With Petra?

We've been together, some time ago.

I knew that. She is still your fan.

How long ago was that?

- 2 years, see.

She stared at me the whole evening.

Complete alarm.

She's your type, yes?

- Back then I did think she's hot.

So, Nr. 60.

Jeez, who's living here?

Me.

- Really?

Yes.

There you are.

A bit like at the

employment center.

I like it like that...

It has a certain

charme, nice laminate...

Beer or wine?

I, ehm...

Water.

Unfortunately I don't have a TV,

so I don't know your show.

Never mind.

I need a restroom.

Over there.

Just like that?

Yes.

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna, everything alright?

F***ing doors!

Aren't these emergency exits?

They are supposed to open!

Yes, from inside.

The fire escape is round the corner.

Come on.

You don't have to stay.

Sleep.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

You were with Hanna.

I didn't have a chance anyway.

But I'd have a child now.

Our child would be 17 today.

Did you have children later?

No. Good night.

Simon?

Hey, baby.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, baldy!

Want a bite?

- No.

Great, your diet.

I'll join you.

What's your opinion

on the "Schleier question"?

Schleyer? Hanns-Martin?

The "Schleier question" (veil question):

Should muslim women in Germany

unveil themselves at work,

in schools for example...

What, they still discuss that?

- Yes.

I don't know. If you ask me, the whole

Islam can be disposed of.

Now, come on!

Anti-metastatic discourse:

the veil

is ideological,

misogynistic, everything.

Most women don't see it like that.

And? That doesn't solve the problem.

I don't know.

A political sign is established only then

when he, who is making it,

wants it to be understood like that, no?

- What nonsense is that?

What?

- Now don't be so lazy!

Yes ... hello?

When you run around

in a swastika t-shirt,

is that only political

if you mean it like that?

What a stupid comparison.

- Not stupid.

Why, for example, are you still

embarrassed to drive a Mercedes?

Now, stop it!

Stop what?

- This is yesterday's news.

Since you got sick,

you don't have any persistance.

Yes, why would that be?

I don't like it when you're sick.

- I know.

I think it's great.

- I'm bored.

Come here.

Poor baby, how are you?

I'm feeling sick.

Say, you really wanna do this,

the funeral service on Saturday?

We can't cancel it anymore.

Of course !

My mother has been lying in Gunther

von Hagens freezer for a week now.

I really think we should do a mortuary

before the deceased is standing,

barenaked, plastinated, and with

drawers coming out of her belly,

in some congress center.

Unbelievable, your mother.

Did you ask your doctor?

What now?

About fertility.

Why? Do you suddenly want children

now?

I don't know, maybe.

Oh Lord, the poor ones.

Where are mummy and daddy?

Out on the balcony,

screaming at each other, as usual.

And then, after 6 weeks of day care,

after 6 years of psychiatry.

We are probably the first case of

divorce in world history

where nobody wants custody.

You are nasty.

You think children are nasty.

Why do you say this now?

Those are your words.

You're nasty. Stop being this mean.

Like every blossom fades

and every youth gives way to old age,

every phase of life blossoms,

every wisdom blossoms

and every virtue in its time...

one day will hold its hand

over my fading soul,

when the time comes.

... that she was a free soul,

a free spirit and a free human.

Whatever that means.

Hard to tame such a bird.

Tie it down with tight strings.

If she doesn't want to, she's not coming.

Bye, Thomas.

- See you.

I think he can stand on one leg,

can't he?

Simon, please don't be angry, hm?

But you know, father doesn't like

to leave home.

Thanks for coming anyway.

Bye.

I think I have an appetite.

Really?

What for?

I don't know.

-You get everything you want.

That's great.

What day is today?

Saturday, why?

The 16th?

Mmh. Why?

Then it's our 20th anniversary.

Really?

Jeez.

What? First kiss or first sex?

First kiss.

Muskauer Strasse, October 16th, 1990.

Shouldn't we finally get married?

Okay.

Slow.

Yes...

Yes, relax.

And ...

Suck in and inject.

Good, you got a sure hand.

Is there anybody yet

who forms a sculpture out of our logo?

No, not yet.

Why are we building a pedestal,

if there's nothing to put on it?

The concept has been neglected,

but the pedestal has been paid for.

Now I have to take care of it.

- Then, enjoy...

And while the ship was on full speed,

two people were helping him to the front.

When the boat steered

towards the left side of Moby Dick

he didn't even seem to notice.

Ahab was in the middle of the

steamy fog,

that was hovering around his mighty

back.

Great, the cold air, isn't it?

You are at Prinzenbad sometimes,

during summer, right?

Right.

A race?

Okay.

Okay. But unfair.

Why?

Just had surgery.
