Friendship! Page #3

---

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

You see! I will be in San

Francisco on my birthday... Yeah!

Come on!

Let's go!

Let's go! What are you waiting

on?! Let's go god damn it!

God damn it! What the f***

are you doing?!

My father used to make fires like

this when we went to the Baltic Sea.

Really big camp fires.

Yeah? Rgen or Usedom?

Hiddensee.

Vitte or what?

No. Neuendorf.

I was there when I was 6!

I was too, when I was 4 or 5!

Eating at the "Heiderose".

Yeah, exactly. We went to the

"Heiderose" to eat every night.

Yeah, we did too.

I was out on the water every day.

From 7 in the morning

until 6 at night.

I would swim like a fish.

What "swimming"?

Yeah. I would go swimming.

When you were 4?

Yeah, of course!

My father taught me how.

You can't swim when you're 4.

By 10, I was a competitive swimmer.

Yeah, but you look more

like a chess player. Tom!

That was 10 years ago.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Because, ever since my father

left, I don't swim anymore.

What is there to tell?

Why did your father leave the GDR?

Hey, guys, scooch it!.

You guys wanna give it a try?

That is sh*t.

So you're looking for your dad?

My dad was killed during Tet

when I was 10.

My dad, he died in Vietnam.

Shot by some f***ing commies.

Hey!... Yeah!

Yeah!

Is that how you commies

killed my dad?

What?

I asked, is that how you

communists killed my dad?

No, we no communists.

But your dad is!

No, my dad is no communist.

What?

My dad is no communist!

Sh*t!

They're just kids!

Come on!

He gets crazy when he drinks.

You trying to get

to San Francisco?

Yeah.

Come on.

Come on!

Sh*t! Hey!

This is my brother's car.

Now, I must return it, but

I don't have time.

You got a map?

The map.

Here San Francisco!

Here, my brother.

Now, it's not San Francisco

but it is California.

You bring car to my brother.

Really?

Really.

And you trust us?

You try to trick me

and I'll beat the sh*t out of you

Okay!

Key for the car.

No key for trunk.

What? He must be messing

with us.

Are we supposed to transport

something illegal?

Weapons! Or drugs!

Yeah.

Screw it! We'll do it anyway.

We'll do it.

Okay! We'll do it.

Good.

We bring car to

your brother.

Yeah?

We promise.

Loud screams.

Yeah!

Now that's a pair of glasses.

Looking sharp!

Wooohooo!

Yeah, America!

That's a powerful picture.

One, two, three!

(Both:
) San Francisco!

Do you want to hear a secret?

Yeah.

But don't tell anyone else!

Otherwise it's not a secret anymore.

Treat every day like a gift and

the world will give you a gift in return!

And today, our gift is this.

Chocolate?

Of course!

I filled up for only 13 dollars.

That is unbelievable.

Mmmh!

Mmmh!

That is the tastiest chocolate,

I have ever eaten.

You asked me earlier why

my father had fled East Germany.

I think it's because everything

we've experienced here.

Yeah. I understand!

That's why. Yeah.

Yeah. I like your dad.

Veit laughs.

What do you mean?

As a kid, I dreamed of:

My father picking me up, and we'd

drive our white Trabants together -

- over the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are no Trabants in America.

Still, that was always our car.

Oh! The small, white Trabant

would never make it in America.

Haha!

Thanks!

Did you notice that?

No.

Maybe I should shake

things up a bit.

I just... What the...?

Police Sirens

Sh*t!

Sh*t! The police!

Sh*t!

Oh! Sh*t!

Tom! The pants! Our pants!

Is the boy naked?

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Sh*t, man! Your underwear!

The truck honks.

Tom!

Ah!

Well at least they look friendly.

Yeah.

Get out of the car!

- Friendship!

- Is this some type of a joke?

No.

Drivers license, sir!

(Whispers:
) Drivers license.

Ah! Wait, yes.

DDR?

Is this some type of a club?

It's East Germany.

You mind opening the trunk

for me sir?

Um, no, no key...

Sir, open the trunk!

- No keys! - I don't know what you're

saying, you know what, turn around!

Put your hands on the

roof of the car!

- Why? We haven't done anythin wr...

- Hands on the roof. Now!

Open the trunk.

Man! Say something else!

We're totally f***ed.

Sh*t!

- Lydia, check this out.

- What ya got?

- Sh*t!

- What the hell...?

So... we're free?

PUBLIC NUDITY:

Get in there. You too.

Make yourself at home, boys.

Ah damn it! I shouldn't have

eaten those potatoes.

What? The potatoes? Apples!

That was a heroic deed.

I'd collapse on the floor.

But it's made of concrete.

No. Seriously!

I'm going to collapse on the floor.

Can you hold on to me for a second?

What?

Can you hold on to me? Please!

Yeah. I'm coming.

Okay! All good! Good?

Yeah.

You guys be more careful

next time, alright?

Wear some clothes.

Good luck!

You need it.

May the force be with you!

600 Dollars.

They wanted 600 dollars

for the car repairs.

Ahh sh*t!

And now?

I don't know either.

Hey, there's a department store!

That's the grand prize.

Madness!

What do you have there?

No idea!

But it costs 13 dollars.

It tastes really good.

And what's that?

Crackers.

Are you crazy?

We're stealing groceries.

The tastiest foods, and yet

no hard crackers!

Yeah. You want to say that a bit louder?

Who's going to understand us?

Have you ever met an American that

speaks anything other than American?

Here, for example!

... Hello!

My friend here loves you

and would like to marry you.

Then, he'd like to eat as much

as you, until he's round and juicy.

Yeah. See? She laughs. Not a word!

Yeah. So?

Here, for example! Come on!

Tom! Hey! It's cool.

Hello, girl!

You are beautiful.

And I would like to sleep with

you right here, right now. Eh?

Don't you want to tell me

your name first?

Zoey! Hello!

Hello!

It was nice to meet you.

I'm sorry. Really!

I wanted to prove something -

- to my friend.

Get rid of the stuff! Video!

What?

What?

Video!

Ah, Video! Okay!

Excuse me!

Hey, boys! You guys hungry?

Come over to my place!

It'd make my mother happy.

She's from Germany.

My father grills some great streaks.

Really? Steaks!

Seriously?

Of course! Get in!

Get in!

I'm sorry again about earlier.

It's okay.

What was your name again?

Zoey.

Zoey?

Yeah.

There's my house.

Someone knocks.

Hi!

Hi!

For you.

Thanks!

Good night!

Night!... Zoey!

Ah... Thanks again!

For everything.

Sleep well!

Ah! How long has it been since

we slept in a real bed?

Hm.

Ah yeah!

I was thinking to myself:

If 200 people paid 3 dollars

to watch our film:

Then we'd have 600 dollars.

Well yeah! But 200 people is

a little optimistic for this dump.

Maybe Zoey can organize something.

Yeah, maybe. Goodnight!

Night!

What the f***! What is that?

Tom laughs. What? Tom!

Look at this, it's a remote control!

Not for the tv, but for the bed!

Alright, we've all

had a good laugh.

You can let me down now.

Okay!

You're so funny.

Okay...

I'll let you down. I promise!

Ahh!

Tom! I'm warning you.

Yeah?

Goodnight!

Night!

Mann!

Tom laughs.

Give the the damned remote!

Okay! Wait!

That's so awesome!

Ah!

Listen!
