of the room.

They were dancing

like no one

was watching,

like this.

Have you ever

seen anybody dance

like this, Morris?

Are you gonna f***ing

snitch on me again?

What did I say?

Language.

Here.

I'm not gonna

snitch on you again.

Ok? I understand it's

none of my business.

But I wanna

tell you something.

You are young.

Believe it or not,

you are young,

and there's

no rush to be old.

Trust me.

Nobody dances like you

at these parties.

You know?

They all dance boring.

Now don't rush

to be boring.

Be young.

Be you.

Ok.

You make

a very cute couple.

We're not a couple.

'Cause you're single

and unattached?

I'm not a player.

I just crush a lot.

What?

Nothing.

Doctor,

they're chasing us.

Hmm.

Hey.

Hey.

What you watching?

TV.

How was the movie

last night?

Fine.

I was thinking maybe we

could go to one together.

I don't know

if they, uh--

hey. I don't know what's

going on with you, man,

but, um,

we need to talk.

I know you got banned

from the youth center.

Why you out here

causing trouble?

I didn't do anything!

Those people

were out for me!

I believe

that could be true.

So believe it.

All right.

You're saying it

to my face, so I believe it.

But just know

it won't take much

for some people out here

to give you

some serious sh*t.

You understand

what I'm saying?

So don't be out here

looking for it.

I'm not looking for it.

I gotta go out of town,

to Berlin.

I'll be gone overnight.

I know I told you

i wouldn't be traveling

until the season started,

but I have to go. I'm sorry.

But you been acting

like a real big man

around here lately,

so I'm gonna treat you

like a big man, ok?

You think you can handle

being here by yourself?

Here by myself

all day.

I'm serious.

I trust you.

Ok.

My man.

Psst!

Katrin.

Oh.

Hey.

Were you texting me?

Uh, no. Per.

Oh, because I lost

my phone at the party.

No. Per's djing

in Frankfurt tonight.

Per's a dj?

Yes.

What's his dj name?

Per.

Well...

I was gonna see if you

wanted to chill tonight.

Uh, no. I have to go.

It's a big show,

opening for a u.K. Band.

But, uh, you can come

as well if you want.

Nah.

It's not far.

They play

the show tonight,

and we

come back tomorrow.

Nah. I can't just

leave town like that.

You will get in trouble?

No, it's just I don't

have a phone or any money.

Ah, I understand.

You are boring.

Well, if I'm boring,

why do you even

want me to come?

You are also funny.

Hey!

What did he say?

He said,

"i play the flute,

and I'm stupid."

So I hear you're

wanted by the cops?

Nah.

He's a gangster,

gangster rapper.

Oh, you rap?

No.

Yes.

No. Not for real.

I still need

to see you rap.

What was that?

A surprise.

Ah, no. Mm-mmm.

Last time you had

a surprise for me,

I ended up

with a wet dick.

Chuck Morris, it's me.

Tried the cell first,

but you didn't answer.

Hope everything is cool.

I'm bored in my hotel room,

and all they got

on the TV is

"fatal attraction," dubbed.

You probably don't even

know what that is.

You better not, actually.

Anyway, give me a call

so I don't worry. Peace!

What does that mean?

In five minutes,

you will go out and rap,

freestyle sh*t.

What?!

Surprise.

Hell, nah!

I'm not going out there.

Why? You can finish

from the talent show.

F*** that.

What?

Feel dizzy as sh*t.

I want to see you rap.

M to the motherfucking g.

All right, I'll do it.

Yes! I think

you go now!

Now?

Give it up! Give it up

for my man Morris!

Yeah!

My god!

Did you see that sh*t?

It was so great!

So...

Come here.

Oh, Morris.

You will be ok sleeping

in the other room

with Franz?

Good night,

Mr. gangster.

Close the door, yeah?

Ooh. Ja.

Katrin.

Morris?

Hey.

Don't touch me!

Per!

I'm sorry.

He was nice to you.

So did they say if

they were coming back?

Mm, I don't know.

I woke up,

and they were gone.

You were in my bathtub.

So they might have

gone back to Heidelberg?

Heidelberg?

No, definitely not.

Um, they maybe

went to stuttgart.

That's where

they play tonight.

Stuttgart?

Yeah. You didn't get

the tour schedule?

What was your job

at the tour, anyway?

Just hanging.

Rock-'n'-roll.

Inka meinart.

It's Morris.

Morris?

Your number

came up unlisted.

Yeah.

I'm at a pay phone.

I'm in Frankfurt.

In--you're in Frankfurt?

Look, I'm sorry

to ask this,

but can you pick me up?

What happened? Are you ok?

Everything is straight,

but, um,

I just got

stranded here, and...

I just need a ride.

Ok. Uh, do you want me

to call your dad?

Nah, nah, nah,

nah, nah, nah.

Um, I already

called him.

He's in Berlin.

He asked me to call you.

Everything is cool.

I just need a ride.

Um, well, it's gonna take me

a while to get there.

So, just where are you?

I'm at...

Dornbusch.

All right. Stay there.

Ok.

Thanks.

Where's your cell phone?

It was stolen.

You get roughed up?

Last time I was

in Frankfurt was 2001.

You know, your mom

was studying in Munich,

and I was still

in the Bronx, but i

flew out to visit her.

Cost me a fortune,

and I had never been

out the country before.

I didn't know

any German.

I didn't know sh*t.

I didn't even

know your mom

for three months,

so it was like--

it was

a crazy thing to do.

But I wanted

to surprise her.

You know,

real baller move.

But when

i got to the airport--

heh--i couldn't

understand anything,

where to go,

what the signs said,

nothing.

So this British couple

that was on my flight

told me how to get

to the university,

and they

bought my bus pass.

I didn't even

ask them to do that.

But I get

to the university,

and I find out

that she and her class

had all gone

to Frankfurt

for the weekend.

Frankfurt?

Where the hell

is Frankfurt?

Again, this nice couple

i met at the university

told me how to get

to Frankfurt.

They said they

were going that way,

and they

offered me a ride.

I didn't

really trust 'em.

I didn't really trust

any Germans,

but they were

straight up,

you know,

took me to Frankfurt

and became two

of my closest friends

to this day.

Britt and Saul.

You met 'em

when you were six.

You probably

don't remember.

Anyway, I wandered

around the streets

of Frankfurt

for four full hours.

I mean,

I'm dipping into

restaurants and bars,

hostels looking for her.

I finally saw her.

She was standing

on the corner,

hailing a cab,

3:
00 in the morning.

She stuck out

almost as much as I did,

but she was also

the flyest girl

in that entire country,

I mean, knock you

on your knees fine.

You know

what I'm saying?

Her mouth dropped

when she saw me.

Her jaw--daah--

to the ground, man.

I walked up to her.

I'll never forget this.

First thing she said

when she saw me,

you know what she said?

She said,

"please tell me

you not here for me."

And then

she jumped on me.

She--she grabbed me.

She hugged me.

It was like a scene

from a movie, you know?

That's the end

of a chick flick

right there.
