...mysterious.

Mysterious?

I don't know.

That's what she said.

Fernandes wants to see you, now.

You two, go get the cars!

Move it!

What's your problem Hans?

- I'm just trying to be quick.

- You'll lose this job quickly.

Not only are we driving like crazy...

It's totally legal in this country!

It's the only thing we've got.

No pyramids,

no Eiffel Towers.

What we've got it's not

in a museum.

You can only feel it.

That's the greatest invention of all.

The beauty of speed.

Can't you see it's a traffic jam, stupid?

Plate number:

D-AD 9779.

It's a palindrome.

You can read it both ways.

Like a rotator.

Rotation?

It's an alternate sum of numbers ...

Not by adding them

like 9+ 7 + 7 +9...

...but 9-7 + 7-9 witch

can be divided by 11...

...the same

with the original number.

And...

...one...

...plus one...

...we have one.

Is it okay if i drive the silver one?

- They're both silver.

- That one is dark grey.

- Have you ever driven a Prsche;

- No.

So this is a whole new story.

These are virgins!

Never been driven before!

The coolest sports cars in the world!

When you dream of driving...

...do you drive a silver or a grey car?

- I don't know.

- You don't dream of driving?

- I'll take the grey.

- Wait!

Lets play it out.

The winner gets the silver one.

The winner will choose.

No he will get the silver one.

Rock, scissors, paper.

And what else?

- Water?

- Fire.

Water.

Rock, scissors, paper!

- Fire!

- Doesn't burn the scissors.

No but it can bend it.

What are you doing there?

Get a move one!

- Will I drive it then?

- F*** off!

I've got the speeding record.

You were first, but

I got the speeding record.

Very funny!

But it's you who came second.

Let's see how fast can you go.

Twenty...

Thirty!

Thirty! Faster!

You can do it!

That's how fast you can go!

Thirty one... Not bad...

Twenty.

Try harder, Hans.

Thirty one!

Thirty three!

Thirty five!

Thirty five!

I won.

Now I have to make a wish.

What time is it?

- Nine.

- Nine is great.

What are you doing?

I dropped something.

- On the car floor.

- Yes.

And why are you naked?

Because...

Stelle arrived from London.

Wanna get a coffee?

Can I have your clothes

since you're wearing mine?

No problem.

See you in a while.

Could I try your uniform

some time as well?

Certainly.

Try this.

My invention.

- A new one?

- Brand new!

You invented this?

What do you think?

- It's great.

- A dream.

I'm an inventor.

What are you?

I can read minds.

I can read anybody's mind.

What is this man thinking

He's Boris Lepowski.

During the flight

he was certain...

...that the flight attendant

as his high school crush.

For 12 hours he was contemplating

talking to her.

But he didn't.

Now the Bunny bear

is having a coffee.

That's the nickname

his wife gave him.

- What's hers?

- Bernt.

Right.

Lets not talk for a while.

Listen...

Close your eyes...

Keep them closed...

I've lost touch...

...with the world...

And I've lost...

...so much time...

he haven't heard from me

in such a long time...

He might even thinks...

...that I am dead...

How's the company?

What's your impression of it?

Is it worth it?

- I think I lost my report.

- Excuse me?

I have nothing to show you.

I don't understand.

Your previous work has been excellent.

Accurate...

...simple and to the point.

No one of your colleagues

could do it like you did.

You think I don't know that?

But when you have to present it

you fail.

It's like you're not even present!

Your work is perfect

but you're like a visitor here.

Making you work as a driver

was a challenge.

I insulted you in order to wake up,

to defend yourself, to react.

But once again,

nothing happened.

Move!

Wake up!

Or tell me what you want.

If I don't hear from you,

you'll hear from me.

- You understand?

- Yes.

Be careful!

The disk wheels cost 1.000 Euro each.

What a day!

Where's the key?

I have it.

Why do you have it?

You don't receive

returning vehicles.

- Do I leave it here?

- Yes I will take it.

- Was there any problems?

- No, everything was fine.

- How do I get to terminal 2?

- That way.

I won't make it.

Leave me here.

You have to do it on your own.

Go and leave me behind.

You can make it on your own.

i won't make it!

If I was a woman

I'd had great tits.

Small but very nice.

You'd have a nice ass.

Are we friends?

Of course!

Why you ask? About your ass?

Are you in love with Stelle?

Yes and no.

I thought you wanted

to marry her.

I love all girls.

I didn't say I wanted to marry only her.

In any case she's going to Madrid.

What is she doing here?

She's a flight attendant!

What a job!

the fly in the sky...

...wearing those

wonderful uniforms.

If I was a girl...

...I would be a flight attendant.

What about you?

A nun?

Or an ass model?

I haven't checked the car in yet.

You wanna see Stelle a bit?

- Ready?

- One more time.

Faster now.

Hans told me

you're going to Madrid.

No, to Barcelona.

My father lives there.

For how long?

For a couple of months.

He works in a museum.

Maybe I'll get a job there.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes, but with a funny accent.

My father is from Peru.

You speak very well.

I took classes there

for two weeks.

Then you will know a lot.

You both speak Spanish?

Say something?

Like what?

Let's say you argue in Spanish.

Say a nasty word.

A**hole, scum!

Son of a b*tch!

Son of a b*tch!

You took my space!

Your space?

You mean parking space!

My space!

The lady comes along...

... and thinks that the world

was made for her!

Of course!

Firstly, the world was made for me!

Secondly...

... a gentleman puts the lady

not the car first!

What are you?

A tool?

What's that?

Now tell her something nice.

Is your father a thief?

Why?

Your eyes are like stars.

Someone stole them

from heaven.

And what do you see?

What?

You see me, or not?

Yes.

Then say it.

I'm in love with you.

I think about you day and night.

I'm going now.

What do you want?

What?

What do you want?

You think I can

kiss your girlfriend?

What's wrong?

You like it.

You like me too.

Don't forget your stolen car!

It's there.

Very nice.

The carpet is not included?

The view is fantastic.

It's great to have abed here.

I really like it!

the kitchen...

Nice and modern.

No repairing required.

Great.

You can move right in.

It's...

... quite roomy!

Give me a hug.

You fell in love with my princess

but it's okay.

She likes you,

you like her.

You like me

and I like you.

Can I show you something?

Sure.

- Nice wind!

- This way.

Here?

Now?

This is my office.

I work in an insurance company.

I took the job because

my boss challenged me.

He made me work

for peanuts.

You are funny Hans.

But you don't see the world

like it is..

I may be no fun,

but I know how life works.

I have a real job

and a real life.

Meeting you was

a pure coincidence.

We don't know each other.

And we are not friends.

- What kind of car you drive?
