He can go home tomorrow.

Home home?

- Home. Here.

- No.

Would you like an egg too?

Yes, that would be nice.

- Do you get it?

- What?

That someone

can actually do that?

That he can orthat he wants to?

That he wants to.

Too little against, too much in favour.

Do you think I'm the only remaining item

on his 'against' list?

- I'm feeling sick.

- Me too.

Keep knives or other

sharp objects away from him...

steadfast love surrounds the one

who trusts in the Lord.

Good to have you back.

How's your mother?

Why don't you call her yourself?

In Holland, Christian and Social

Democrats are to form a government...

led by former Prime Minister Lubbers.

Representatives of both parties

indicated on TV yesterday...

that an agreement had been reached...

but was awaiting official consent

from MPs.

The wave of refugees leaving the GDR

for Austria and the FRG is increasing.

One day after Budapest decided

to open up the border...

over 3,000 people

crossed over into Bavaria.

Can I have one too?

A further 10,000 people

are expected to follow.

You said you'd quit when I started.

...be staying in emergency camps

or travel on to relatives orfriends.

The refugees are on average

27 years old.

Foreign minister Horn made clear...

Hungary would extend free entry

for GDR-refugees by one week.

He told a Madrid newspaper

in an interview...

that they had been trying to persuade

people to return to the GDR...

but that Hungary decided

for a humanitarian solution...

when the number of people crossing

the border continued to increase.

Horn further indicated...

that Budapest would like to end

or alter the agreement...

to restrict the freedom of movement

of East German citizens.

Thousands of East Germans continue

to make their way into Hungary.

Carlo?

Carlo?

Greatest pitcher of all time.

He out did himself in the World Series

of 1971, against the Baltimore Orioles.

He pitched two full games...

allowing only seven hits and two runs

in 17 innings.

Until 1973.

Never managed another decent ball.

End of career.

What are those pallets for?

I'm going to build a loft bed.

- A loft bed?

- I need more space.

You could pull the plug

on this inflatable island.

Go away.

Bugger off.

To think he was born

to save the marriage.

What went wrong?

My father decided he wanted

to poke his dick into someone else.

In this guy Sander, to be precise.

That's what went wrong.

I actually meant with him over there.

Oh, Steve.

Why could he no longer pitch?

He started to think.

Couldn't stop.

Thinking.

You must never think too much.

You must tty to sense and to be.

In order to feel.

Strike.

Next one's for you.

- Nice butt, tiger.

- Strike.

Stay cool.

Strike three.

Come on, get a move on.

No worries. Just carry on.

- Hey.

- Hello.

Didn't realise they let him out.

It's not like he was in prison.

Show us what you've got, butt f***er.

- Wide. Pitch out.

- Don't think.

And go.

Charming.

- Hey, sh*t stabber. Give us another one.

- Shut up, pisshead.

Hey guys, save your language skills

for Scrabble.

Now let's play ball. Go.

- Don't let him get to you.

- He needs to shut the f*** up.

We're playing ball here.

I can do without this.

- Just concentrate.

- He's winding me up.

Don't let him get to you.

What the hell?

You nose'll be fine.

You, go shower. Off with you.

- That girl just hit him.

- And why? He slagged her off.

- She's hypersensitive.

- And that gives him the right?

Don't talk to me like that.

Hello.

- I cannot shake your hand.

- Oh, right. I'm sorry.

Excellent job, by the way.

- What do you mean?

- Giving him a bloody nose.

The ump doesn't see it that way.

Even if something cannot be condoned,

it isn't necessarily undeserved.

- I'm taking this up with the league.

- O, who cares.

- Give them my regards.

- Stupid f***.

- Are your parents separated as well?

- Yes. But not far enough.

Thank you.

- Want some?

- Just a tiny bite.

Chew.

Dad?

- Theo, do something.

- Don't panic.

One, two, three.

Are you okay?

Knight to E7.

And?

Uncomplicated.

Stupid, you mean.

Pawn to C6.

No, I mean uncomplicated.

And?

And...

He's going to break your heart.

He can't. You already did that.

Sorry.

Okay.

Pawn to B5.

Oh, no. Bishop, bishop.

To touch is to move.

- Check.

- Yes.

One... Two... Three.

Are you alright?

Hi, professor. Nice wheels.

Hey, Carlos. What are your ambitions,

apart from a new colour for your hair?

- Electrical engineering.

- I say.

Ormaybe installation technology.

- Where does that get you?

- You can go into plumbing.

Orboth. Like my granddad.

He was a plumber and an electrician.

- Are you alright?

- Everything under control.

- It's slowing down.

- No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

Cramp.

Break it, why don't you.

I think it's out of juice.

What now?

You push.

See. It works.

There, in the desert,

in the middle of the night...

after exactly 40 days,

I met my Maker.

Back in Germany, I...

Back in Germany, I quit my job

to follow my calling.

- Berufung?

- Calling.

Right.

That's great. A calling.

Yes. Wonderful.

He bought it, you know.

From the municipal council.

For one German mark.

- But what...

- He plays at being a vicar.

In a highly decorated Reformed church.

Does he get people in on Sundays?

What?

Was that a stupid question?

I think that the extraordinaty success

of the novel...

is a result of Goethe's authentic writing.

The fact that he worked

his own experiences into the stoty.

Except that he failed to take

the final step of committing suicide.

Authentic is not necessarily

autobiographic.

Here, suicide

appears to be much more...

the embodiment of the fundamental

right to freedom...

that no authority can take away

from people.

- O brigkeit?

- Authority.

He wrote it in the space of one month.

A person who's had more than his share

of suffering...

is capable of unbelievable feats.

And in Dutch?

At meal times, we converse in German.

You do.

What was that?

You converse in German.

She doesn't.

And why?

One needs to know foreign languages

to know about one's own.

- Says who?

- Goethe.

- Goethe?

- Yes.

I thought you made it up yourself.

Goethe? What was it that he sang?

Isn't that Goethe?

...his proposal to the refugees

to return to the GDR...

to be allowed to leave over the next

few months, was received sceptically.

While yesterday over 150 GDR

citizens left the German embassy...

today their number

totalled no more than 50.

Meanwhile, the numbers seeking

refuge in the embassy are growing.

Vogel's offer will only remain valid

for the next three days.

Over to Prague...

I need to get home.

Hello. A package for you.

Thank you.

...in Poland, the GDR's foreign minister

was told by diplomats...

that refugees from the GDR in Warsaw

were free to travel.

The embassy will issue travel permits

for some 1,000 refugees on Monday.

I wouldn't use arsenic.

That's vety painful.

Says who?

My chemistry teacher.
