Terrific.

Like Robin Hood.

With this tiny eyes l didn't think

you could even hit the target.

Not bad,

but you stepped over the line.

Maybe a few centimeters.

Yes, but either

we play right or...

...we don't play at all.

Oh terrific.

This is why you wanted to come

to this place?

Don't be silly.

You go ahead. l'll catch up.

l told you, dumpling:

Germans do nothing half-assed.

But that ruins all the fun.

Oh c'mon.

Don't be that way.

Come back, lotus blossom.

Orientals are so sweet.

Maybe, but they got

no sense of humor.

You Austrians

are good losers, no?

Naw, l'm a lousy loser,

not enough practice.

Well you're a champ

at losing the suitcase.

OK, yellow 50 points,

red 30, blue 10.

Mellow out, it's just a game.

Just try hitting the target.

That's hard enough.

But watch your foot.

Look out. Everybody hit the dirt.

And this is where ...

the hero of our story

finally gets to prove ...

what makes him a hero.

Whose cigarettes are those?

Don't get cocky.

Oh sh*t, they're mine.

Morning.

Hello.

Your husband's the guy

with the suitcase, eh?

No, l'm the guy

without the suitcase.

Oh here he is.

So uh,

where are you from anyway?

From Sievering.

-ReaIIy?

What a small world. We're from...

Well,

l guess l'll go look for Gretel.

She can't be far.

Get outta here.

Pumpkin.

Better keep an eye

on your daughter.

Patricia knows what she's doing.

Maybe, but those activity

studs never rest.

Gimme a break, she's only 13.

Oh, aIready?

Sweet.

At night we meet and chill out

on the beach:
1 1 o'clock.

So uh,

if you feel like it...

Why wait until 1 1 ?

Daddy, please.

No dessert for you,

and no TV either.

Hey Prince Charming,

don't forget our rules.

The ones under 16

are off limits...

Until 2 days before

they leave, sure.

You got it?

Yeah, l got it.

Macho a**hole.

Kiss my ass.

OK everybody.

Time for the bottle game.

Everybody get in a circle.

First, we split up the couples.

Second,

we alternate man-woman-man...

Exactly,

now we pass around the bottle,

but without using our hands.

Gabi and l will show you

how it works.

Now the bottle's

where it belongs.

One more remark and your weed

goes down the toilet.

Drop the bottle or have it ...

between your legs

when the music stops, you lose.

Losers either have to sing

a song or tell a joke, OK?

Are you ready?

You guys are great.

Let me just remind you that ...

we're aII

doing this voIuntariIy.

Nobody's forcing us

to do any of this.

We're aIIowed to drive cars,

we have the right to vote,

they Iet us raise chiIdren

that worries me sometimes.

Cool, keep it going.

You're gonna set a record.

Stupid game.

Oh well, l was hungry anyway.

Hey, what are you doing?

l don't like Germans.

OK Ben:

song or joke?

This isn't a joke, it's fact.

How do archaeologists

identify Austrians?

They're sway-backs.

Why?

Because we used to

ride them to work.

Problem?

Bottle.

We've got a winner.

Your prize is you don't have

to sing or tell a joke.

Just kidding.

Of course you get a prize.

You win a trip to the temple city

with ''Happy Holiday'' Tours.

And what do we

do with our winner?

We dunk him.

lnto the pool with him.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

No, that's not a good...

These are my only clothes.

lnto the pool with him.

lt's idiotic.

This means war.

lf that's what you want,

fine with me.

One,

two,

three...

Glad to see you're having fun.

Your suitcase is at

the reception desk.

Really? Great.

What about the phone?

You forget to

pay the phone bill?

Maybe. Better tomorrow.

Right you.

Now something different.

Surprise.

Huh?

What the f***?

l deliver suitcase

to Gerry's bungalow.

That's not my suitcase.

ls this black?

ls this black?

Don't know. l go ask.

Fine. Where is...

Where's that tour guide Doris?

Go to town. Make phone call.

Right you.

Wet bathing suit

not allowed here.

Are you f***in' with me?

Yes. Tomorrow.

Right you?

That's the way l see it too.

When do you go

to the temple city?

Oh l know Gerry

won't want to go.

Well l definitely will go.

l came all this way

and want to see something.

lf you want,

we can go together ...

if your husband doesn't mind.

He won't care

one way or the other.

How long have you been married?

1 4 years.

13 of them in Vienna.

l never wanted to leave

Kiel actually, but ...

once Gerry sets his mind

to something...

Take your hands off me,

l'm on vacation, not in prison.

Listen,

l must buy new clothes.

And l have to make

a telephone call from outside.

l'll take a Taxi. lt's OK.

l'll take a taxi.

See it'll be OK.

You morons.

lf l can't make this call,

l'll lose my job.

l'll be on

welfare starting Monday.

Help me.

Help me.

l'm Karlheinz, from Dresden.

l've been here for months,

the bastards won't let me in.

l just lost my arm band, honest.

Take better care

of your things next time.

Help me pleeeease.

What's wrong?

A bug, will you please

get rid of it?

Do you want to say

a big girl is scared of bugs.

lt's not a wild animal.

And it is not poisonous either.

lt tickles.

See? Sweet little guy.

Yes, you really

are a sweet thing.

And see how shiny it is.

Hm...

Hey little guy,

are you all by yourself?

Where are all your friends?

Wunderbar.

Some spectacular entrance.

There.

These idiots are too stupid ...

to find my suitcase.

But they'll remember my name.

Soon as l'm home, l'm suing.

First the club ...

and then... Oh hell...

You all right?

Yes, it is just my head again.

That Ben is a moron.

l find him rather amusing.

Amusing...

lf you ask me,

his jokes are predictable.

What do you mean by that?

He's such a typical...

Car salesman.

That, for example,

was definitely predictable.

So you're sure? You don't want

to see the temple city?

Nope. Positive.

l'm on vacation.

No...

l will write that down.

VACATlON

But this is insane. lt's ...

the biggest joke ...

that you can't even buy detergent

at this resort.

And l can't decide what to wear.

l wish l had your problems.

Hey Gerry,

don't you laugh anymore?

My poor, poor baby.

At least our

little girl is opening up.

That's not exactly something

to laugh about.

Life is cruel...

They fit...

Oh man, l don't want you

to stretch them way out.

Hey, would you mind if l

went to the temple city alone?

No, go ahead.

Hey,

just how old are you?

Eighteen.

l might have believed sixteen.

But that number...

So what?

So nothing.

Then...

See you around.

l hope so.

Ciao.

Hello.

What's up?

Everything's cool.

Terrific.

So, see you tonight?

Beach party.

l'm in charge of refreshments.

ls that a suckling pig?

No mutton.

That's mutton, isn't it?

Oh, mutton.

Line's back there.

There must be a reason

they've got this on the table.

Come dumpling, try this.

l no need, l got iron stomach.

Don't say l didn't warn you.

An ounce of prevention

is worth a pound of cure.

All right honey, dinner time.

How about fries with mayonnaise?

Naomi, come back here now.
