Like sh*t, l am!

No, a marriage is important.

Always being alone...!

Yes, you're right.

How's your guy?

He writes regularly.

l always get his letters.

-Do you?

Yes.

He's away on assembly work.

That's why.

Have you heard?

Rosy asks money for it.

She didn't ask any from me.

She was running after me ...

for ages.

Because you're sweet.

But she asked for it from Franz.

He said so himself.

l'd ask for money from him, too.

That's what he said.

So what?

There are worse things

than asking someone for money.

l'm going now.

She'd be glad if she had the looks

to be able to ask for money.

Can you give me back my money,

since you're earning so much?

What does that mean?

What l hear...

You can only believe

half of what you hear.

This is Klaus.

Oh well,

l'll be getting along, then.

Bye!

Who's that guy?

Just a guy.

ls she good? Rosy, l mean.

All right.

What do you pay for it each time?

l pay because l have the money

and can afford it.

Look at him!

The look on his face!

A foreigner!

He's coming this way.

You want something?

Are you looking for something?

-Who are you?

Can't you talk when someone asks?

-Well?

Looking for someone?

Someone in particular?

My God! What a stupid expression!

You, ltaly?

-No ltaly.

He's an ltalian, all right.

What does he want here?

He's an ltalian.

Where are you going?

Where do you want to go?

-No address?

Elisabeth Wirth.

-Well, beat that!

This block, second floor.

There!

He's going to Elisabeth.

l always said she's man-crazy.

First we have to talk

about your papers.

Whether you have a work permit.

l only take decent people.

You can wash in your room

and cook, too. That's no problem.

But no lady visitors, please!

The people in the block

gossip too much.

The painter's in your room

at the moment.

You'll have to sleep

with Peter in one room.

You'll meet him later.

He's otherwise a pleasant person.

l can make you a coffee

in the morning,

but otherwise you'll be at work.

Now you know everything.

Bye!

What did you tell them?

Why?

Gunda was here

and made some funny remarks.

l didn't say anything.

Elisabeth has a foreign worker

in her apartment.

So what?

lt's strange

having someone like that here.

l have some money with me again.

Good.

This is Peter.

He must sleep in here

till his room's finished.

Do you think

she has something going with him?

Who?

Elisabeth with that

foreign worker?

What do l know?

Stop it!

l have a headache.

But l'd sure like to know ...

whether she has

something going with him.

How should l know?

l wasn't asking you.

Do you think

she has something going with him?

Who with who?

Elisabeth with that foreigner.

Probably, if l know her!

Just like that?

With a stranger? You can't...

She has money.

People with money can do anything.

Who is that guy Klaus?

That's none of your business.

lf l hear again

that people are talking,

you needn't come anymore.

l haven't said a word to anyone.

l'm just telling you.

lf l hear another word...

Why are you so funny?

You're funny. l'm normal.

Kiss my ass!

-lf you think so.

Marie!

You can pay for your own things.

l saw the ltalian guy

this morning.

He left the house when l did.

Then he was there all night.

That's right.

Have you heard?

The foreigner lives here now.

He lives here?

ln Elisabeth's apartment.

She has no sense of shame.

Hey, come here!

What's going on in your place?

That ltalian? What's going on?

He's not an ltalian.

He's a Greek. From Greece.

He ain't no ltalian?

-No.

A Greek from Greece.

Where does he sleep?

At the moment, in my room.

The painter's in his room.

And? Has he spoken with you.

-He can't talk much.

He gets undressed,

even though he sleeps alone.

Completely?

-ln front of you?

How does he look?

Better than us.

-How, better?

Better built.

Where?

-His dick.

l'm going to the tavern.

Me, too.

l'm going.

Bye!

You... You're from Greece?

Greece.

Do you like it here?

Does it appeal to you here?

No understand.

Germany good?

-Much good.

Not much love?

No understand ''love''?

No girlfriend?

Girlfriend? Fucky-fucky?

Yes.

No. Nothing.

-Why? Because of me?

Yeah. Nothing.

l heard it from Erich.

He heard it from Elisabeth's Peter.

Last night she got undressed

and yelled for the Greek.

And then?

-Then the Greek went to her.

Three hours later he came back.

He looked absolutely beat!

Hi!

l just saw the Greek

at the playground.

l greet him,

'cos l'm an educated person.

He grabs me, throws me down

and keeps saying ''fucky-fucky''.

l was scared out of my life

and l ran away.

Now we're getting

their foreign habits.

You can't cook now.

l need my peace.

l need the money now.

l must have the assurance

that you're a decent person.

Money, understand?

Money!

Ah, understand.

l'll write you

a receipt later. OK?

Out you go!

Nothing doing.

And then he raped her.

At the playground.

Gunda?

He ain't got no taste.

l tell you. He threw her

to the ground and raped her.

The others aren't safe either,

l tell you.

There, in the playground

he raped her.

Gunda?

-As l told you.

l don't believe it. He always

looks you straight in the eye.

Are you sweet on him?

l'd never be sweet on him.

You can tell how a person is

from the way he looks at you.

They're talking about us in the

whole neighborhood. lt's not good.

People talk

whether you do anything or not.

Do we have to have someone

like that in the house?

l prefer him to everyone else.

lf you think so.

What do you want here?

There's a Greek

living in our place.

So l heard.

Yes...

l have some money with me...

Good. Put it on the table!

Stop it! Get out!

lt ain't worth the money!

What do you mean by

''something else''?

Vending machines maybe.

There's no money in that.

Something else, then.

Whatever you do,

there are problems involved.

Have you seen Marie?

-She doesn't feel well.

Her head.

She should hold her head

under the faucet.

You've heard about the Greek?

Elisabeth's guy

was just here with me.

What an ape he is!

What do you mean?

l'll show you.

That's how he went for me.

l'd report it to the police.

lt's not right.

The same thing happened to Gunda

with the Greek.

They're a load of

riff-raff down there!

l don't believe it of him.

He has such an honest look.

Where there's smoke there's fire.

lf you don't stop

your stupid talk, l'm going.

Go then, you silly cow!

Stop it!

Do you have to stand up for her?

Stubborn, that's what she is.

And that's bad.

You have to allow time

for it to sink in.

Kiss my ass!

Actually,

l don't think it's right.

After all, l'm engaged.

The main thing is it's fun.

But Paul's your friend.

Friends don't count

where a woman's involved.

You're hurting me.

There's no love without pain.

And? Did he ask after me?

-Yes.

Oh, well.

How are things.

-l'm surviving.

Things are fine with me, too.

OK, then l'll be going.

Take care!

Bye!

-Bye!

Do you have money with you?
