Sorry about your mother.

Damn it!

You know my father?

He was a stupid pig.

But he was right about one thing.

If a friend asks to borrow a thousand,

give him a hundred.

Otherwise he'll cross the street

when he sees you.

You'll feel guilty

that you want your money back.

That's how I feel now,

lousy and guilty.

Why didn't you say,

"my mother died, I have to leave"?

You just disappeared,

that's not right.

I planned to return tomorrow.

- Don't give me that crap!

I'll pay you back.

- How?

They took everything yesterday:

Ice machine, espresso machine, the stereo.

Eight months rent due,

that I 'm stuck with.

How are you going to pay up?

How much did she leave you?

Don't give me that look, Thomas.

Jewelry, savings account...

Meisner porcelain, something!

Should we search the place?

Thomas, want us to do that?

I'm going to renovate the house.

Why?

- I want to live here.

Here?

I'll fix the house,

look for work, pay you back.

How much per month, 75?

Maybe 100 for Christmas?

What was wrong with her?

Something with her stomach.

- Cancer?

Where was your room?

Lutz, let us talk alone.

It was hard to find you.

I thought you were up to something.

Is this her?

A lemonade tree!

- What?

Pippi Longstocking.

You probably didn't know her

in East Germany.

The lemonade-tree

didn't have a house.

It had lemonade inside,

as much as you wanted.

Let's climb up there.

- The wood has rotted.

Come on, Thomas.

Leon, the wood is totally rotten.

- Come on.

You'll come crashing down.

- You didn't used to be so scared.

I needed it to renovate the house.

You lied.

Thomas...

You don't need to come here

in work clothes.

I'm renovating.

- At your own house?

Otherwise it'd be illegal employment.

Harvest helper,

starts June 25th.

Harvesting what?

Cucumbers, on a machine.

And until then?

I have absolutely no money left.

We have to check that.

When?

We'll send someone on Monday.

I can prove my bank account

is at zero right now.

You own a house,

we have to estimate its value.

You were in Afghanistan.

Didn't you receive

a discharge bonus?

I got a dishonorable discharge.

Why?

I have to fill out your profile.

For a cucumber harvester?

Yes.

You give me that now?

I have to re-do it.

You have to pay for alcohol

and cigarettes yourself.

Take them out, please.

I didn't know.

Should I call an ambulance?

Absolutely not.

Can you get this thing out of here?

Thanks.

Mr. kzan?

I'm calling the station and you'll

have to give us a breath test.

I wasn't driving.

He was driving!

Is that true?

Whose bags are these?

- Mine.

Why are they standing here?

- They fell out.

They landed quite nicely.

You were lucky this time.

Behind the forest

is a side road,

where that a**hole is waiting.

If I drive by, they'll stop me

and take away my license.

Can you drive for me?

There.

Overthere, on the right.

What happened?

Where were you?

I couldn't reach you.

My battery died,

I didn't have the recharger.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'll leave the keys in the car.

Should I call a taxi?

No thanks.

Wait a minute.

Foryou.

- That's not necessary.

Come on, it's okay.

Excuse me.

Do you have a minute?

The damn cops caught me,

on Wednesday...

...with 1.9% blood alcohol.

My license is gone for a year.

So now?

I own 45 snack bars around here.

I make a daily tour, take orders...

...deliver, pick up the receipts,

check up on the business.

Now I need someone to drive me.

Six days a week, with overtime.

You'll earn 2 to 2.5 thousand.

Okay.

Tomorrow morning. 8 A. M.

8 A. M.

You know where.

Here's an advance.

Laura?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Laura!

Good that you watched her.

She's doing your job.

Putting together orders,

loading the truck.

Come an hour earliertomorrow,

to get the details.

This is my wife, Laura.

He should come earliertomorrow.

- That's what we just said.

Fine, I have to finish up.

Did you bring your papers?

We'll do that tonight.

You deliverthe orders,

and they sign here, okay?

Laura gets the new orders,

she does the accounting.

She gives you the delivery forms

and you put the orders together.

Got it.

You'll learn the fine points in due time.

You have to load the truck properly.

You can't screw around

loading up, that costs time.

Should we drive first to the furthest

delivery point orthe nearest?

Is this a quiz?

I'm curious.

They sent me six candidates

from the job center.

Not one of them got it right.

Are you thinking

or don't want to play the game?

The nearest one.

- Correct.

Why?

- You'll save gas.

How?

Forthe longest leg the truck is empty,

it's lighter and uses less gas.

Perfectly correct.

Perfectly correct.

Sorry...

For what?

The stupid quiz.

I was just acting bossy.

I'd be angry too.

Six times 70...

597.54 that adds up to...

In summer?

Gina Mango-Nectar.

Send me Murath then!

As soon as possible.

Of course he needs papers,

are you stupid?

Send him to Mustafah,

he knows everything.

You did well.

- What did I do?

Everyone here cheats on me.

Did you ever do that before?

- What?

That martial-arts move.

Were you in the army?

Are you busy on the weekend?

Why?

You passed the test.

We should celebrate.

Okay.

Laura is a pretty woman, huh?

Why shouldn't you look?

I was watching you this morning.

Turn around.

- That's the road to Stendal.

Turn around!

Hello?

Hello, where are you?

I'm picking up an extra delivery.

Which delivery?

From the beverage company.

Oh yes.

I fired Halid, he was cheating.

Mustafa gave me the tip,

he'll take overthe place.

Will you take care of

the termination papers tonight?

See you later, I love you.

Come on.

Come on, Thomas.

Laura, come on.

You dance like a Greek.

How'd you know,

how a f***ing Greek dances?

From Zorba-the-Greek.

A**holes.

Show me how the Germans dance.

Come.

Come on, Laura.

Come on German Thomas, dance.

Show me how the Germans dance.

Put your hand here.

Relaxed, not so stiff...

...and listen.

You can do it.

Keep dancing.

I'll be right back.

Damn, a nice friend you are.

Why don't you help him,

he's completely plastered.

Give me your hand.

I'll take care of him.

The key is over here.

You can take the car.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

- Yes, tomorrow.

Did I oversleep?

Do you have coffee?

One minute...

- I'll make it.

I made one foryou too.

- Thanks.

Did you hurt yourself?

I sanded down the doors yesterday.

Last night?

- I couldn't sleep.

That's a damn long stretch.

Why didn't you take the car?

- Want me to lose my license too?

Thomas, you can help me out.

I have to leave on Thursday

for a few days.

I'll show you the ropes and

you take over while I'm gone.

Of course you'll earn more.

I brought property in Turkey

for me and Laura.

In Arslankoy,

in the Taurus mountains.

I have to go there,

talk to the architect, etc.

A vacation house?

No, it's going to be forever.

Do you have a cigarette?

Thanks.

Pretty funny.

What will you do there?
