- Why don't you come with us?

- Yes, why not?

No, no

We need more men for

our cultural events.

This is really very kind,

But my wife said,

I should once

My husband does not like poetry readings.

- That's really something new!

- We have discussed,

that you wanted to stay home.

Well, he still could!

Mr. Lohse!

Well, I'll quickly

wear something.

Ladies and gentlemen.

For the second time in this year

we come together

for an event of our

cultural group.

This afternoon is devoted

to contemporary literature.

We are very lucky that

the most important representative,

living representative,

the most important, most lived,

So, still living representative

of modern poetry agreed,

here with us

to read from his work.

A man who has made

literary history

a name, the worldwide known:

- Lothar Frohlein.

- Frohwein.

Frohwein.

I shall begin to read 22 poems

from the series "farewell".

- Then

- A little louder, please!

Eight ballads from my

early period,

followed by the sonnets collection

"The 12 months".

Afterwards Chapter 3

from the novel "Pedokles"

and finally

a tragedy in three acts

with the title:

"Goethe in Halberstadt.

Then we will have the opportunity

to talk.

Melosine

Is that part of your lecture?

A piece of sugar would always help me.

- He should hold his breath.

- What do you think?

We have to scare him.

Or ask something, that distracts him.

Shh!

Excuse me, may I interrupt you.

Heinrich!

What did you eat

yesterday evening?

Um turnips

Steamed turnips

fish sticks

and Tartar sauce.

Melosine

Krawehl, krawehl!

Taubtrber Ginst at Musenhain!

Trbtauber Hain on Musenginst!

Krawehl, krawehl!

Before I was thinking, that

we live parallel to each other.

You've already told 3 times.

I told him what I think

and I thought

he would have understood!

He throws no more beds

out the window, no!

Now he is discussing with

Lothar Frohlein!

- One sausage for the lady.

- Thank you very much.

Perhaps there is also

something else than men.

What do you mean?

Don't let you get mad.

Let's do it, what they want.

There are such beautiful meh

uh, more options

Compared to women

men are really not interesting.

Just ignore him.

Ha!

Did I catch you,

my darling! Haha!

- That was quite a brilliant move.

- Thank you! Good Day, Rita.

I thought to myself - I know,

that you're in town -

it would be great if we

meet somewhere. By chance.

I also do not disturb.

So think as I would not even be there.

- Do you have a wish?

- A pot of coffee.

- A coffee.

- Do you know who is sitting there?

Where?

Over there! The lady with the bright

Hat. This is Lisbeth!

- Lisbeth Prenzler!

- Heinrich!

Well, chunky bit?

Come on, put on your glasses!

It's me! Heinrich Lohse!

How are you? Got a little bit

sized-up. Suits you, however.

- Is your husband here?

- I am not married.

We had visited you in Hamburg before!

I live in Wrzburg.

For 36 years.

No. Your son studied in Hamburg

and lived with you.

- I have no son.

- Of course you have, Lisbeth!

My name is Kthe.

Oh

Kthe

You know, I'll have to leave now.

I'll call you.

So, I would not have recognized

Lisbeth. How is she?

Good. She lives in

Wrzburg now. Where's Rita?

She had to go.

I have to hurry too.

Probably you have something planned too.

Yes. But if you would ask me

I would go with you.

As a caring husband.

As a little mouse.

So! So

What do you want to buy?

Just look around a bit first.

Just look around And where

do we look around first?

That's interesting.

Look!

These are these tube systems.

We have sold a lot to Mexico.

And to Cuba.

I did not know,

that we exhibit here.

The whole system works

without backwater valves.

Interesting, right?

The rear opening should

be for the overflow.

It is hard to recognize.

But, yes! From here

you could see it.

Very interesting shopping tour.

Renate?

When are we going home?

For mother's birthday I need

another pair of shoes.

We have just bought shoes.

The brown one with pimples.

- That was six years ago.

- Yes, exactly.

Why do you not try some

black underwear?

- What?

- Yes?

Want look around much longer?

I don't push you.

Take your time.

How long How long

do you think because, I mean

until you have seen everything?

Of course relaxed.

- You know ..

- I don't push you, not at all.

I just wanted to know,

how long it would last.

- Roughly.

- Just one moment.

- What are you looking for?

- I don't know.

You don't know what you're looking for?

So, I now have seen everything

and now I know

that here, that I really don't

know

- What you are still here for

- Why are you so impatient?

Well, listen!

In 45 minutes I have,

well, let's say

seen 2000 blouses,

shirts and pants.

This is more than in

the 59 years before.

I thought, I should prepare

to stay overnight.

- What's Up?

- Nothing at all.

- Wanted to drive?

- No, no, you drive.

Was it nice afterall, that together

we have purchased something.

Too nice.

Did you see that?

He came from the right!

No, I do not see anything.

I can't see anything!

I always close my eyes, because

of the traffic that makes me nervous.

But drive a little bit slower

and stay on your lane.

I drive exactly 50 km/h.

See? I knew it!

No, no, no!

- What happend?

- You drive!

Then we come home safely,

harmoniously and without a crisis.

My name is Lohse. My wife

and I only exchange seats.

There were discrepancies

because of the driving style.

I thought it would be better to

let my husband drive.

In my position You would have

decided the same.

We will continue quite soon.

Here it is!

"The Mini Piffi 4

"was manufactured

with all new gear

"and thoroughly tested

before leaving the factory.

"The Mini Piffi 4

mixes fast and easily"

Isn't there a japanese explanation?

Moment I see.

Give it to me and sit down

in the living room.

Times and please do nothing.

Oh, sorry!

I haven't seen you.

Well

- Please sit down!

- Mr. Lohse!

Well, 'n sip in between?

Here you are.

Do you clean your home?

Or does it .. Do you have

a clean a cleaning help?

My wife don't let me help out anymore.

But I help her after all.

You can, but I may not.

She does not like my help.

That is probably just

a matter of communication.

That is probably a matter with

her gender.

This is the old hatred

of the sexes.

This is it. When I get home

see my husband sitting there

A certain reluctance

between women and men

- Is quite natural.

- Yes it is.

Apart from reproduction.

- Yes it is.

- This is another issue.

My husband too has always something.

Men always have something.

He always has something.

Women and men are enemies,

only at one point

- One should not marry.

- One should rather try

to balance the differences

between the sexes.

Men do not even listen anymore!

We should have talked

much more together!

- Do I disturb?

- No.

Would you please come again?

Well excuse me.

When I need you,

you are drinking together with Ms.
