- Jacqueline!! -

- Jacqueline, where are you? -

- Jacqueline, where are you? -

You know that Papa doesn't like to wait.

I am coming soon!

Oh no!

Sh*t!

Jacqueline, say what are you thinking?

This stays on and comes with us or you can drive alone.

Pff, you will see what the Papa will say to this

The Papa, the papa, the papa.

I don't care what the papa will say about it.

So where is he anyway.

- At granpas' in Leipzig. -

- In Leipzig? -

- Now of all times? -

- Don't stress. That's not your thing. -

- it should be a suprise, he said -

- oh man, Udo and a surprise, eh? -

- Maybe he comes home with Granpas new car. -

- Ha, Udo without "Schorsch" -

That's like a lid without a cookie jar.

- It is about time. -

- Ah look here... -

... Everything goes automatic.

The cover, the time, the film judders automatic

So it goes out, and so it goes in.

World niveau

Ah look there. Udo and his "Schorsch" that old soapbox.

and he says:
All my freetime I was with my car.

I laid more under my old car then under my own wife.

- So it goes in and so it goes out. -

- Granpas new Japanese -

Udo, how is your Turbo?

Jacqueline, get out. Get out now.

- Oh Daddy, please not on the first day of holiday. -

- But this stays here -

Get this off! Right now!

Ok, if you think so.

Hey Udo, where will you go, if we can ask?

- Neapel. -

- What? -

Neapel? You don't even get to Leipzig.

All 4 of us will stand on the Vesuv, even if he smokes.

And on the film is the evidence.

See Neapel... and die.

I have to admit, that my journey is actually an escape.

(He recites now something of Goethe.)

Mama, look in the sidepanel and see for yourself.

"The Italian Journey" of Goethe?

That is our compass, better then any street map.

200 years old and still up to date.

- You want one Jacqueline? -

- Oh no! When I just smell it, I have the feeling to puke. -

You think we can get to Neapel with this book?

The Italian Journey of familie Strutz.

8th Stopp - Regensburg

Hehe, Uncle Bernd and Aunt Gerda will be happy.

Shut down that noise.

Mama, say also something.

- The pill is the only thing you like. -

- Yup. -

Mine are lying on the kitchen table.

Ah it doesn't matter. Go on papa,

I don't need them anyway with your stress.

How far is it to Regensburg?

- We need 2 more hours. -

- With tail wind. -

Oh such a convertible is really nice

- How fast are we? -

- Ohh...120! -

Just take care that this Papercarton doesn't

fly all over your head.

120!! "Schorsch" this is your personal best

- Shouldn't push him so hard -

- Ah, no worries. -

I have to switch the fuel petcock.

Look at the street.

Look forward!

Oh no, children.

Don't worry Udo.

We will survive also this oxygen.

Your sister!

I knew it...

that someday they will stand in front of our doors,

those people from Saxony.

And all their club.

He looks like a turkish carevan.

Alphones, clean the table.

Children!

(Some weird poem of Saxony.)

Oh, that you still know it.

Come, get in!

Oh look here.

There sit down.

You have a nice wall unit

We didn't get something like this

so easy back then.

9859 Mark incl. Vat

In principe, almost for free.

What can I get you now?

There you go. Eat plenty.

Gerda, that wasn't necessary.

So Udo, you still the successful German teacher

on the path of Goethe?

Yup, and now we are driving after him to Neapel.

Was Goethe also in Regensburg?

Regensburg, 5th of September 1786

(he quotes from the travelbook of Goethe)

The morning was cool and air was fresh.

But the day got nicer

The fruits are not the best.

I look forward to the wife and figs.

And Jacqueline, you are almost

a real woman.

96 - 68 - 96

Oh for real!

Alphones, go and show Jacqueline your Computer.

This is my monitor.

And back there is the printer.

And this is the mouse.

With this one you open the program.

And so.....

You come in a new program.

So easy is that.

and if you wanna know what is written in there

and so you are already in a new programm

Ah look here, I thought about this as an empty living space.

So I got myself some Turkish people to live there.

And after I removed the garlic stench

(some weird accent, I don't understand it myself)

incl. VAT.

in principe for free.

No, per person. You have to take it times 4.

So 200 Mark. Cash on your hand.

And then they say, they have nothing.

So I thought as normal thinking human:

Look how they live there on the nice fresh air.

And look in this poo hole.

All full.

So I think, how can somebody who says has nothing,

sh*t so much?

So get in.

Get comfy.

Now you can sleep into.

Sit down.

A toilet with a shower on top.

Crazy.

Jacqueline, there I got you some mid night snack for you.

Say HI to your mouse.

Oh I forgot, actually this is "Pppis" house.

Good night Pppi.

Then good night.

Good bye and have a nice trip.

Jacqueline, when you come next time

I may have already a new programme.

- I will show it to you then. -

- Yup, ciao. -

No no, this is the engine.

That's it.

That is the clutch,

I smell that.

- Emergency Munich. -

- Udo Struutz, Bitterfeld. -

Typical Udo, talks and talks your ears full.

- So what car is it? -

- 601 -

- Porsche? -

- No, Trabant -

Hehe, I hope you have scissors and glue with you.

- Mahlzeit. Bitterfeld? -

- Yup. - - Potsdam. -

- Delighted. -

- Take a coffee. -

- The clutch? -

- Much worse. -

The heart?

Yeah, this has been your ignition.

The cable is burned.

Repair or graveyard?

- Surgery. -

- Yeah, we all have to go thru it. -

- What's his name actually? -

- Schorsch. -

The car is also just a human.

What do you want with this toy car?

Better finish the BMW from Mr.Hasslinger.

Yes. Finish Hasslinger.

On such a Trabant you can see why car doesn't drive.

Charlie?

And why not.

- Don't you wanna have a look anyway? -

- No not necessary. -

I can disamble and rebuild you this car with close eyes in 3 hours.

Because I repaired Trabis for 20 years.

Just Trabis

Moment.

Charlie?

- Ready? -

- Yes! Ready.-

Makes 619,52 Mark.

- 619? -

- Incl. Vat. -

Logically.

- Cash or with cheque? -

- Cash.

These are original parts from Saxony.

- From the good old times. -

- Good? - -Old.-

- Hasslinger is here. -

- It's around the corner, his 7. -

Nothing on it anyway.

The budget is gone.

Come on Papa, let's go home.

I can go and strip.

That is the idea.

This is just do good.

Like back then. No Ilse? - Yes! -

We had back then a Gogo you know.

- You know when we drove into forest. -

- Yesh. Red was it. - - Yes.-

- And Fritz was his name. -

- Fritz. Yes -

No take it. You will need better.

Who takes care of his car that much,

has to have a good heart.

Not there.

In here.

- It can't be. -

- If he wants to go to Neapel, he has to take it.

- Where are you going Udo? -

- I've had enough. -

- So now is end of the day. -

- Already? -

See there? It is rolling.

In 5 hours you made a 1000 Mark.

I don't earn that much in a week.

Half of it is for the place.
