How many of you are divorce children ?

How many of you believe in true love ?

There are many reasons to fall in love.

Good morning , your tickets please.

Hey you !

Stop!

But there are twice as many reasons

for love to fall apart.

Darling , I went shopping !

Great. I've cleaned all day.

- But look...

Why do you men want praise for nothing?

No one praises me. You ruined my life.

You stupid pig !

And this is where I step in.

My name is Paul Voigt.

Other people's breakups are my business.

From phone calls to house visits,

including removal of personal effects,

the breakup agency I work for

provides all services for a price.

The client makes a choice, I realize it.

Essentially I'm like this postman.

He also delivers warnings, dismissals,

and enforcement orders.

But I have one crucial advantage.

I come in person

and give psychological first aid.

A very good day to you .

What? He's leaving me

because I'm choleric? I'm not choleric!

The guy doesn't even have the balls

to tell me himself.

How shitty is that!

What am I going to do now?

Just give your feelings full scope.

I hate him.

I hate you!

I . . . hate you ...

You pig!

I hate you!

And that shitty guitar!

I . . . hate...

You pig!

That works with men , too?

- Yes, it does.

Here you are.

You know, two years ago

I was right where you are now, but here

I am, almost a partner. And you ...

could do the same thing.

Separations are booming.

If you manage

to carry through 1 ,000 separations

during the first two years,

you will be made a partner

in our company.

Believe me,

you can make it all the way to the top!

And we would like to help you get there.

Thank you for your attention .

Break Up Man

So, Paul , I've spoken to the owners.

If all goes well, you'll be a partner

by the 1 st. - Wow, boss.

Good , isn't it?

- Yes.

How many breakups do you have left?

Eleven.

- Eleven.

Just a week left. We must be very strict.

Oh , I have everything under control .

Here he is!

Hartmut, old grenade!

- Georg , old dragon slayer.

How are you , my friend?

- Well , and yourself?

Darling , we're going out to eat. - That's

for women without weight problems.

Honey, would you get me a Diet Coke?

Latest girlfriend?

- No, just a back- up.

Nice!

Anyway, this is Paul , my best employee.

Hartmut Dreher, the friend I mentioned .

Pleased to meet you .

I heard about your family problem.

Yeah , thanks. The guy's a total loser.

Bad for my daughter Kati . I'm worried .

My granddaughter Jenny is already

having trouble at school .

You have to help.

Mr. Kuhlmann is not the child's father.

- No.

- If your daughter's ready to meet. . .

- Come on, a photo?

Smile!

Kati tried to break up,

but she didn't go through with it.

Adler.

- We'll fix it.

- Hang on a second .

- Adler?

- Thank you .

One moment. I'm on the other line.

So, that's me back again .

That's how it all started .

Thank you. Have a nice evening.

Otherwise he was always

kind to animals, kind to children .

Anyway, my father could never stand him .

He's poor and not very good-looking.

Forget Toto and your father.

This is about you .

Don't try to make others happy.

Be happy yourself.

So, are you happy?

Sometimes I feel very cramped.

Do you want that forever?

Is it an option? - No.

- Think of your daughter.

- Jenny? Why?

Isn't she having trouble at school?

- Excuse me?

Kids aren't happy if the parents aren't.

Look. You're an attractive woman.

With a sweet daughter.

You have your whole life ahead.

Live! Be happy.

Fine.

- But don't hurt him.

- You're doing the right thing.

He'll harm himself!

Where is your boyfriend?

Yes? - Good evening .

I'm from "Happy End" breakup agency.

A breakup agency!

Great. What do you break up?

Can I come in?

I don't suppose you're going to rob me.

- No, of course not.

Come in. Stop!

First take your shoes off.

I just vacuumed .

Mr. Kuhlmann, about your girlfriend.

She says she's very sorry,

but she wants to end the relationship.

Are you joking?

- No.

It must be a joke.

- I'm afraid it's not.

Are you from "Candid Camera"?

You are from ""Candid Camera"'!

Gosh ! Kati told you to do it, awesome!

You know

that you need my permission, right?

You have it.

Mr. Kuhlmann, I'm serious about it.

People give and take in a relationship.

And you seem to be giving

a bit too much. - Wait,

what are you saying?

I'm going to clear this up.

Kati-Mouse.

This name is not known.

Sweetie Pie.

- Sweetie Pie's number is being dialed.

The number you dialed is not available.

I mpossible!

We're about to eat. It's Moroccan Night.

I'm to...

give you this from her.

To show she means it.

I gave her that!

I know.

So now what?

I must ask you to pack your things.

The essentials only.

We'll take care of the rest.

No! No way! This is absurd.

Who the hell are you?

You just come in here and ...

Do you know what you are?

A crap version of "Men in BIack",

without the other guy, Willi Smith.

- Will Smith.

- What about Jenny?

Miss Dreher says you're not

to act as Jenny's father.

But that's not possible.

Mr. Kuhlmann, I have a brochure for you,

and...

your own personal

Happy End.

Or is Kati's father behind this?

No.

What now? Where am I to go?

Go see the city.

Three million people live in Berlin.

Enjoy your new freedom.

Keep your head up.

The end is always a beginning.

What is that?

Is it a maki or a nigiri?

The Japanese

don't have a word for it yet.

Sushi kebab.

- Donner roll.

- Donneri.

Donneri.

Stop, okay.

My boss said he'll make me

a partner next month. If all goes well.

Really?

- Yes.

Congratulations!

We must celebrate!

That's great.

So you'll get an apartment soon.

Won't you?

I've already signed the contract.

Really?

Yes.

Did you take the loft or the apartment?

The loft.

A big space is cool. You can do a lot.

You could fit walls if necessary.

If necessary.

I'm sorry, Natalie.

Why? It's okay. Completely okay.

I didn't really want

to give up my apartment.

I still have my apartment in Quebec.

- Yes.

It's a great apartment.

You have a beautiful apartment.

The apartment is beautiful.

A really beautiful apartment.

Yes.

I tell you, soon you'll beg me

to move in with you.

You'll kneel down before me.

What are you doing?

I'd better sleep at home.

I have to get up early tomorrow and...

Please stay for once.

Please.

I can't sleep with someone beside me.

It's nothing to do with you.

Do you love me?

Why do you ask?

You always sneak out at night

and don't let me get close.

You only do what you want.

So I ask if you love me. If not, then...

you'd break my heart.

Yes, sure, like...

Natalie, love is a big word.

What we have is enough.

It's beautiful.

Look, I have to leave early,

I've got sport, and I...

I'll call you.

It was good.

Paul Voigt.

Paul?

Come, come, come! Paul?

Playing strip games, and what do I hear?

The guy's still hanging around.

Miss Dreher is scared. If you

want to keep your job, get over there
