Exactly.

Have a nice flight then.

Yes. Have fun.

See ya.

- Does it still hurt?

- Yes, a little.

- Who was that on the phone?

- The guitar player from The Shames.

The Shames?

Why are they relying on you that much?

Everybody can book flights.

Yeah, but it's my job.

What a Schnappisaster.

A Schnappilemma.

What a...

Schnapparody.

A Schnappuccino, please.

Schnappi-dick.

Did you get that one?

You're a Schnappi-dick yourself.

Hello.

You're still lying there.

What took you so long?

We're invited on a boat trip.

Who invited you?

Two Germans.

I met them in the caf.

Oh, ok.

- And why?

- Well...

They have a boat and I told them

we'd like to go on a boat trip.

What do they do?

Who are they?

No idea. They're ok.

They are really nice.

Nice?

It seems they're these kind of authentic people...

like Ingrid and Rainer from the ferry,

who we ask questions about their mobile home.

Don't be so arrogant!

But being down-to-earth is arrogant too.

Look, I got you a tartlet.

And afterwards...

I bought something.

Actually, I'm not so fond of it.

Just stand up straight.

I don't like it.

I think it's too suburban.

It looks fine to me.

It's not ugly to wear something like this.

What happened with Schnappi?

We banged our heads.

What did you do when I was gone?

Just lying there?

In this tragic position.

I thought about something.

About what?

Oh, about everything.

About me.

About you?

What did you think about then?

For once, can we please talk in a normal way?

Sure. I'm sorry.

What did you think about?

I don't know what to do.

I think everything is so absurd.

- Us, or what?

- No. It's not about us. Just listen.

- Yes.

- You really don't listen.

What is so absurd to you?

Just... What I do.

How I live.

My work.

You thought about the house, or...?

I think you have to risk something in life.

You're so scared.

You have this fear to settle down.

That's probably uncompromising,

and also...

not really brave.

It's not only the work, that's the same

for everyone. You don't see that.

You can't think

about a decision for 14 days,

or how to invite two people

for a dinner.

Then you're not getting ahead.

You're so anal about everything

and nothing can change your way of thinking.

In theory you're free

and you can do what you want,

but then you have to do something.

But it's always "Shall I do this or that?

No, that."

Then you actually don't do anything at all.

That's why you spend so much time

in your office or biking,

just like others spend time with

their children.

And with Philip you demonstrate

your independence,

that he must tell you

how much he misses his freedom and family.

What you don't realize and

he likely doesn't admit

is how nice it is to come home.

In his house,

where his children sleep.

He can get out of the house anytime he wants

but maybe he choses to be with his girlfriend.

I think you can risk a lot more.

But if it doesn't work out, then leave it.

I want to live together with you.

We can try.

You can have your own room

with hay and a light bulb,

so you feel comfortable.

I'm sorry, I probably have thought

too much about everything

and I wanted to tell you this

already for a long time.

Why do you believe

you know me that well?

I wanted to talk about

something completely different.

Why don't you set the table?

But I really don't get

what you wanted to tell me.

I would like to be different for you.

What do you mean?

How do you want to be then?

Sometimes I see a woman,

walking past us,

who could be perfect for you.

Then I see you two as a couple,

and everything looks so much better.

Most of the time, these women

are completely different than me.

Then I can't help but think,

that I should be different for you

and I wish that,

because I think that...

I can make you much happier

when I would be different.

Sometimes I also have the feeling

I have to tell you a lot more

that I admire you.

How much I love you.

Actually, I love everything about you.

- You don't have to.

- I do it anyway.

If I were different,

I could get to know you in another way.

That thought makes me very sad.

I'm afraid I'm probably not able

to get to know you like I really wish.

I really would like to be different sometimes.

Are these childish thoughts?

No, I have these thoughts too.

I think I'm too boring for you.

In the beginning,

when I met you,

I imagined myself,

entering a room

and you speak to me for one last time

and I simply jump out of the window,

to surprise you.

But that's quite sad.

I wouldn't die,

I just fly out of the window.

Like Batman.

But that doesn't make any sense.

If that's the case,

then you would have already died for me.

- What's that? We don't need this.

- Schnappi needs this.

Schnappi eats whatever is put on the table!

Excuse me.

Can I pass?

Here's another light beer.

Ouch! Come on, are you crazy?

- What's going on?

- That's Hans.

What are we going to do?

Oh my God, Hans! What are we going to do?

What are we going to do?

Look.

Ciao.

Be quiet, quiet.

Boo!

Did I give you a fright?

- Well?

- It doesn't matter. Hans.

- That's just a coincidence.

- Man, man, man.

Gitti, I just bumped into Hans.

- No. What a coincidence.

- Hello.

Hello. Gitti.

What did you do?

- Your holiday is going the wrong way, no?

- Yeah, sure.

Sana, come here!

- Look who I just bumped into.

- What a coincidence.

- Good to see you.

- My wife.

You're kidding!

- What did you do?

- It's not that bad.

- Something hit my head.

- The glass door told me another story.

Finally we get the chance to meet you.

I get bored by Hans so quickly.

We... announced we would be here.

I'm not so sure you reported that.

For sure.

We didn't know you were here.

Oh! I don't believe you.

You can't hide from me.

That's my instinct.

- We haven't met before, no?

- No.

I'm sorry. I meet so many people.

It's a good thing you know it better than me.

- Excuse me.

- Grazie.

What do you think?

We just bought some really nice lamb

and you come with us to our place for a barbeque.

- Oh yeah.

- We are already invited to go on a boat trip.

But that's not really important.

If you want to, we can take them with us.

- But we don't know them at all.

- Come and join us.

It's not very nice not to go.

- Are you still able to talk?

- Yes.

I didn't know you knew them that well.

The way they greeted you...

He's always like that.

I imagined him to be a lot worse.

Why are you doing that?

It hasn't completely healed yet.

Is it because of them you're taking off

the bandage?

Let's turn around and go on the boat trip instead.

Come on, be reasonable.

No, no, no.

- Here.

- Do you want me to become a fat pig maybe?

Yes.

I have to say this...

Sana is pregnant.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- You can't tell yet.

- Oh, I think so.

I hope I won't become a fat b*tch.

We also played parents on the weekend.

But we rather failed.
