They're fine.

Really?

lf you say so.

ln five weeks,

l'll get my first part.

The pictures they took of me

were good.

What do they pay?

No idea.

We'll talk about that later.

Then it'll be in all the papers?

That's right.

lt costs a lot of money:

the photos and so on.

Did you have to pay?

lt's for my career.

You must know.

You're only young once.

Later, you don't have a chance.

Not when you're older.

What about marriage?

Don't you want to get married?

l don't know.

A marriage is something fine.

A regular life

is not to be sneezed at.

You never know

what the future will bring.

He threw her in the water.

Why?

Because of the baby.

To get rid of it.

And?

lt didn't get rid of it.

But they say it had a shock.

And Paul?

He begged her forgiveness.

Now they want to get married.

l wouldn't like to get into

a situation like that.

And what about love?

Not for me. lt makes you old.

He wanted to kill it.

Apparently it was an accident.

Rosy's making a movie.

You can imagine

what that'll be like.

She had to pay

for everything herself ...

the photographer, everything.

Because that's normal.

How do we know what's normal?

Satisfied with your foreigner?

More than with you.

Because you're nothing

but a slut.

You didn't seem to mind before.

How anyone

can stoop so low morally...!

Why do you two

always have to fight?

What's he got that l haven't?

That's my business.

You deserve a good hiding

for that tongue of yours!

You shouldn't speak like that.

lt upsets everyone.

l'll talk the way l like.

l'll pick you up again on Friday.

Was there something else?

Oh, sorry.

l almost forgot.

Thanks.

Has someone put

your nose out of joint?

l'm just mad, that's all.

Look who's coming here!

Yes, look who's coming here!

Fancy that!

Our Greek. Couldn't be better!

The filthy pig!

What are you doing here?

Do you think

anyone can walk around here?

Why are you so quiet?

-No understand.

You understand me, you Commie!

Want a fight, huh? Come on then!

lt had to happen. He was walking

around as if he belonged here.

And he looks you up and down

like something at the market.

He must go.

Yes.

We need a bit of order here.

And you took part?

-Sure.

And now he's going away?

-No idea.

l'd go, l'm sure.

Revenge is only right and proper.

That's right.

Did he get up on his own?

l don't know.

l left.

We couldn't care less either.

That's right.

He'll go away now for sure.

For sure.

Because it wasn't nice anymore.

We belong here and no one else.

You didn't have to take part.

That wasn't necessary.

lt just came over me.

l don't know how.

lf you hadn't done

anything to help, OK...

But taking part!

-l didn't want to take part.

l don't know how it all came about.

You're crazy.

-OK, then l'm crazy.

Yorgos no understand.

l like you. l'll never leave you.

No understand:
bam-bam!

lt's over now. Be nice!

Everything, bam-bam!

Put your arm round me! Come on!

All make bam-bam against me.

Give me a kiss! That'd be nice.

Greece nice.

Germany much cold.

Kiss me! l want you to.

How is he now, the Greek?

-ls he clearing off?

No. Elisabeth wants him to stay.

But that's stupid.

Anyone can see what's better.

She says it's better if he stays,

because she can

ask for more rent from him.

You can do that with foreigners,

because they're stupid

and don't know any better.

What does she charge for the room?

-1 50 marks.

That's how it is.

Not bad!

-That's how you do it with them.

They help increase production,

and the money stays in the country.

That's the idea!

That's right.

And it's for Germany.

Elisabeth has a head for business.

l always said that.

1 50 marks for a room like that!

You must have

the brains to think of it.

She's had a miscarriage.

But they still want to marry.

l wouldn't like that myself:

a miscarriage and marriage.

And what if nothing comes

of your career?

Maybe... because of my age...

No, that's not for me.

lf we divide up your room,

we can get another one in there

and earn more money.

lt's big enough, after all.

lf you think so.

l've got used to him.

Another one won't matter.

l'll call the builder round

on Monday and get an estimate.

l want to know

how much it'll all cost.

And then l'll go to the army.

lt's better than working ...

and having ideas that never come

to anything, and nothing changes.

l'll have to go soon, too.

l'd like to be posted

to a submarine.

That's something different

from service on land.

You have to go

where they send you.

l doesn't really matter

where they send you.

ln summer,

he's taking me to Greece.

What about his wife?

That doesn't matter.

Everything's different in Greece.
