and sort it out.

Goal! - That was two goals!

If no bras come off, I'm not playing.

Mr. Kuhlmann.

No! I'm not leaving.

I want to talk to Kati.

Mr. Kuhlmann, please come.

I want to talk to Kati.

We belong together. We're a family.

Stop it, you're acting like a child.

Let the woman go.

Have you been drinking?

What? No, I just. . . Come on!

No! I'm not leaving. I can't just go.

I have to fight for my love.

If you have to fight for love,

it's already too late. Come on!

Leave me...

Listen, go away!

Or, do you know what?

I will if you give me a reason.

One good reason , then I'll come.

Fine.

I wanted to spare you this, but...

Your girlfriend has a new boyfriend.

What?

Yes. She has a new guy.

And it's all very good with him, but...

Really?

Mr. Kuhlmann, we're going

to a nice comfortable hotel now.

You'll sleep well and...

Tomorrow the world

will look totally different.

This is really nice here.

Mr. Kuhlmann, here, come on in.

Come on!

You'll be cozy here.

- Can I sleep at yours tonight?

Be glad you can be alone a while.

- I don't want to be alone.

Go to the bar, or go out.

Do all the things

you couldn't in a relationship.

I don't want to watch soft porn now.

Whatever, Mr. Kuhlmann.

Throw yourself into life, alright?

Trust yourself.

You can do it. Chin up. Good night.

Real wood!

Man.

For Kati!

I can't live without Kati!

Stop, man , stop!

I don't want to live without Kati.

What!

- So I'm going to jump now.

Sh*t.

- I've got a note in my hand.

It's for Kati

and you're going to give her it,

when I'm splattered down there.

- Stop, easy now.

- Calm down!

- I'm going to jump.

What? No, listen, okay?

I'm coming up, and then...

then we'll sort it out together.

- Really?

You and me.

We'll sort it out together. I promise.

Sh*t, this is high.

Oh God, he's insane.

My name is Thorsten by the way.

You can also call me Toto,

if you want.

Hey, shall we just use our first names?

Thorsten, listen.

I'll take you to a clinic now.

It will do you good. Talk a bit,

some peace, general help...

- Hello, but we can talk.

- Yes, we still can.

- But a little professional help, that. . .

- I don't want that.

- But you should.

- No, I won't. Got it?

Let's go to your place and hang out.

- No, we won't.

- Or I'll cook us something.

- No!

So where do we sleep?

We can't go to my place.

And what have we got here?

Listen! You have to help me.

I've got a huge problem.

That man there in the car.

He just tried to kill himself, to jump.

Can you take him into custody?

He'll harm himself. Please believe me.

He's a danger to himself and everyone.

Really, you have to help me.

Can you have him sectioned?

You have to help me, please.

Have you been drinking?

You have to help me.

The guy is insane.

Here, hold my sausage, that's enough.

Driver's license.

Vehicle documents.

- Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

- I'm sorry.

Get lost! Piss off, yeah!

- It's just a driver's license.

- No, it's not just a driver's license,

it's my driver's license. If I lose it,

then I lose my job. Okay?

You can take the train.

It's better for the environment anyway.

Then you can even . . .

read because it's so comfortable.

Man, I can't, it's a company car.

If I don't move it, someone else will .

- I can drive.

- No, I'd rather ask one of my friends.

- But we can be friends.

- No.

Okay, I get the message. First you

destroy my relationship, and now...

Why did you even bother

to save my life?

Are you crazy?

You haven't understood a thing.

I'm a breakup agent, that's my job and

your ex hired me to break up with you.

Now piss off! Get lost.

What a load of sh*t here.

Sh*t! A load of sh*t!

Sh*t!

Hey, it's Paul Voigt. Yeah, I know,

it's been a while. I have a question.

How was I supposed to know she was

your girlfriend? I mean . . . Hello?

Hey, Peter!

What, you're called Petra now?

Sarah , can you drive me?

Sorry, little brother.

Another time, okay?

Please, it's...

I need a driver.

I no longer have a license.

Now what?

Oh God.

Listen , I'll call you back.

Thorsten!

Oh God, oh God.

Sh*t.

Listen, you clown.

Can you please clear the road?

No. I'm lying here

because I want to die.

Great! What do we do now?

Well, if he really wants to.

- Good.

- That'll be fun.

- Yeah, great fun.

Hey, have you completely lost it?

- I mean . . .

- What?

You can drive me. One week.

What, really?

Yeah , starting tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you!

- It worked!

- You a**holes could have killed me.

You a**holes!

Get your things

and we'll go inside. Okay?

Oh thanks, man.

Just get your things

and we'll go inside now...

Holy sh*t.

- Paul, are you awake?

- No.

I can't sleep.

- So count up to a hundred.

- I already got to 6,432.

Then have a beer or something.

- Can I get into bed with you?

- What? No. Get out.

I'm not gay or anything.

If that could make you change your mind.

No, it couldn't.

Now, good night. Out.

How mean.

Sh*t.

Are you insane?

I told you I can't sleep alone.

I'm your driver. I need rest, Paul.

You will never do that again.

Understood?

Never again. Okay?

What's that?

What is it? What have you done?

- As I said. I couldn't sleep.

You can't just rearrange everything .

It's much better feng shui this way,

so the dragon's breath can flow freely.

What? The only breath

that has to flow is mine.

It's interesting with the photos.

I made an exhibition. Take her.

She's absolutely beautiful.

Who is she? Bound to be

your girlfriend. Your ex-girlfriend.

And here. Are you a divorce child?

The man's head has been torn off here.

- Must be your father.

- Give me that.

You're a fruitcake.

Really. You're a fruitcake.

I wonder what your star sign is.

So listen. Put all this

just where it was. Tidy all this up.

Gemini or Libra, 100 percent.

Everything okay?

Not really.

Who is that?

That is...

Thorsten Kuhlmann . I'm his driver.

Can you leave us alone a moment? Now.

Yes, sorry.

I lay awake all night thinking.

I don't want it like this.

I need someone who stays

even when it's difficult.

Someone who wants to be close to me.

Instead I always feel like...

I force you to do things.

And that feels awful .

Paul, I just want a normal relationship.

Preferably with you,

but it doesn't seem to be working.

- Don't you want to say anything?

- What am I supposed to say, I mean...

It's a bit of a surprise.

Listen ...

I have an appointment anyway

and we need to be there at eleven .

Pity.

Goodbye then.

Single. Single.

Yes. It's great. Look. So free. Yeah?

Love is generally overrated anyway.

Hurry up,

my first appointment is at 11.30.

- The palm tree and the bedding stay here.

- It's my special bedding. I need it.

We'll be staying in hotels,

they have bedding.

But not for me.

I suffer from allergies.

- They're staying here.

- I need them.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - Yes...

Stop arguing!

My bedding!

- It's your responsibility.

- Okay. Now get in.
