- Can't you be quiet!

- Oh, stop it.

Go on then, carry on.

Jesus Christ,

see what you made her do?

Poor darling.

You still owe me 400 schillings.

- Get home safely.

- Yeah, especially in this weather.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Goodbye, Siggi.

Dear God, please help the animals

that are being abused in experiments.

We beseech thee,

hear us, O Lord!

Heavenly Father,

In our class there are some girls

who think only of themselves

and their own benefit.

Please, God, have mercy

and show them your divine love

so they may be healed.

We beseech thee,

hear us, O Lord!

Want some?

She's talking to herself.

She says something like... "I...

I wanted to marry him", I think.

And the nurse hears it...

And falls in love with the brother.

What do they do then?

Well, uh...

They... err... go out or something.

And in the end,

she marries his brother.

- Sounds complicated.

- Not really.

- I just didn't tell it so well.

- That's okay.

Lovely Rita!

"... and everybody is running

in the same direction.

- God, what happened?

- I don't know. I just came. "

- Was that the joke?

- Yeah.

Oh well.

Just super.

I absolve you of your sins

in the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, the power,

and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Miss Glaser, can I go now, please?

It's my grandfather's funeral today.

and I...

My mother forgot

to write me an excuse.

And if I call your house,

there won't be anyone at home, right?

That's right.

My parents have left for the cemetery.

And I should be going too.

- You will bring a note tomorrow.

- Yes.

I feel terribly sick.

Can I go to the headmaster's office?

Young lady, I've had enough.

Take a seat.

After the bell we'll both go

and see the headmaster.

Okay, now let's go on.

Which of you wants to read?

It was in the year 2157...

Only a heavy wooden club

or a thick iron bar,

a chair, or some kind of heavy,

blunt instrument

in the hands of a very powerful man

could have caused

such major injuries.

No woman could ever have inflicted

such injuries with any weapon.

The head of the deceased,

according to the witness's description,

had been separated

from the trunk of the body and...

was also completely shattered.

Get out!

Want some?

Your brother looks sick.

I think you should take him

to the doctor.

Hang on a second.

What's wrong?

I need something to drink.

I'll get you one.

Good evening, tickets please.

Are you travelling alone?

Our parents are picking us up.

Oxygen mask.

Thanks.

Will you be home tomorrow afternoon?

I just can't believe it.

She's driving me mad!

It can't be so hard to go to the toilet

and put the lid down.

What are you waiting for?

Go on!

Put the lid down!

Put the bloody lid down.

Wonderful!

Pneumococci transmit diseases.

They are encapsulated.

They multiply rapidly

and their offspring also have capsules.

Sometimes it may happen

that one of them has no capsule.

Its own offspring will lack capsules.

A certain agent can be obtained

from dead pneumococci with capsules.

It is known as DNA.

Many happy returns!

- Thanks.

- From me too.

How thoughtful.

That's very sweet of you.

My dear Norbert,

look what I have for you.

Thank you so much.

That's very nice of you.

Many happy returns.

- Gertrud, thank you so much.

- My pleasure.

To your health!

Long shall his life be,

long shall his life be,

three times as long.

Let's make him fatter,

fatter and fatter,

three times as fat.

- What else is there?

- Rich...

And he'll be wealthy, richer and richer,

three times as rich.

- Only three times?

- Or maybe more.

Here you go.

Make a wish.

That one will come true.

Cheers!

To your health!

Thank you, sweetie.

Happy birthday.

Look how thoughtful she can be.

That's really lovely.

Thanks so much.

I really like it.

Let's have a toast.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Norbert, the news.

Rita, get your dad,

the news has started.

The news is on.

- The news is on.

- I'll be right there.

And? Isn't Dad coming?

Evening! Tickets, please.

I left my pass at home.

That'll be 38 schillings.

Where were you today?

Miss Glaser was surprised

because of the test.

Can I copy your homework?

Hello.

- Want a bite?

- Yes, but not too much.

I wanted to tell you something.

I'm not mad at you

about "Inspector Calls".

I've forgiven you.

Thank you.

- No, just a tiny bit.

- Like this?

Where's the toilet?

- In the hall, first door on the right.

- Thanks.
