Armin Page #3

---

Can't I be alone in a room?

Let some fresh air in later.

Stuttgart is a good team.

We in Bosnia like

Bayern better, though.

Great country. You have helped

us a lot with the refugees and all.

My wife's sister lives

in Bielefeld. She's a nurse.

How about a beer?

Two beers, buddy!

I want to tell you about Armin... he's

upstairs watching television...

He's a good kid, but you know

how it is, growing pains...

He's just discovering himself...

He has prepared well.

Stage fright... You know all about it.

F***, you are a movie guy, right?

Film? I'm working on film.

Film is my one and only love!

Two more beers, buddy.

Wait. You know those people.

Give them this photograph.

He likes acting. Two more

beers, I said! Bring 'em!

You have to see. Listen...

Why don't you go f***

yourself! You and your movie!

Give me a brandy.

Make it a double.

Let me ask you something.

How many children, out of

You don't know?

One, or none.

Give me a check.

Wait.

Take this as well.

Buy yourself

a brandy or something.

I'm sorry, have you seen my father?

Sorry?

A man... Ordinary looking...

I have no idea...

There's this arrow.

To hell with you!

Armin, have you been smoking?

Who smoked? I didn't.

It doesn't matter.

Wanna smoke one with me?

I don't smoke, what's with you?

C'mon, smoke one with your dad.

Go on, light up.

You are angry

'cause I made you play.

No, I'm just sleepy.

- No, I know you are!

You can smoke, I tell you.

I don't want to.

That thing that you

have is nothing serious.

It's all in your head.

Mother and I talked

to some people.

There is a medicine in Sweden.

We'll buy it, whatever the cost.

When you are 18 it can

disappear without a trace.

I fell asleep in a chair.

I'll be right up.

Did mother call?

I can't eat.

I don't feel to good.

It's not good to eat before

a trip. Too bad, all this food...

Excuse me. - Yes?

- There's no smoking in here.

Sir, do you have a minute?

What now? - Can we go back? I

would like to ask you something.

We have a bus to catch.

Somebody will take you there,

don't worry. Won't be long.

Is everything

paid for? - Yes, it is.

We would like another

meeting with you and the kid.

What meeting?

Let's go in. I'll explain everything.

Thanks.

Will Mr. director be

there? - Yes, don't worry.

I'll cut to the chase.

I know you're in a hurry.

The director would

like to ask you something.

It's O. K., but we

have a bus to catch.

He would like to make a

documentary about Bosnia.

What kind? - It would be

a documentary about the war.

About the war?

He's interested in your case.

What case?

Your problems, I mean.

That would be the subject.

It would be very discreet and

you would profit in every way.

Say...

His condition is the

result of some war trauma?

Thanks, but I'm not interested.

That's our private problem.

Let's go. - Please, stay.

I didn't mean it like that.

It's O. K., I tell you.

- Could you stay awhile?

Wait for me outside, son.

Everything would be paid for.

Daily allowances included.

We have a contract here and we

would pay the first installment now.

Ask him again.

No, thanks. He's not a child anymore.

O. K., I won't insist.

Everything has been

fair and square so far.

Thank you very much.

And goodbye.

Have a safe trip!

Armin.

Finish your cigarette. It's all right.

I didn't mean it.

They don't have a clue.

Did I play well?

Of course you did.

Hi, neighbor. What's up?

Nothing much. What's

up with you? - Nothing much.

We're back from Zagreb. - Well.

We went to an audition in Zagreb.

Business, you know.

Well...

Anyway, see ya.

That's good.

Shall we, dad?

- Let's go.
