I don't know what's wrong with you.

He's really nice.

I can't get away from here.

We have too much to do. Sorry.

Wow, are you making a salad?

We're not eating this. It's for our

photo shoot. "Skin Meets Vegetables".

Art. I love art.

Do you know the art section at Ikea?

Do you? I could browse there forever.

Here's what we'll do.

Toto sleeps here tonight.

You go to the hotel and rest.

Tomorrow you'll be in a better mood.

That's what we'll do, yeah?

Yes.

Do you want to be our assistant?

Really? Sure, I'd love to.

But I can't. I have to drive him, sorry.

You can stay if you want.

I'll take a taxi.

Really? Oh Paul!

No!

- Bye, Vanni.

- Paul.

I'll see you out. It's good to see you.

Take care. And call home, okay?

"Relationships are the spice of life.

They make it sweet

or they make it sour."

And?

And what?

How is it with us?

Sugar candy.

Super, we've got it.

Excellent. Strawberries next.

Great photo. I love it.

Hold still a moment.

Stop rocking, sweetie.

- My hair's in the way.

- You're rocking . This must stick.

- It's about the strawberry. Hold still.

- Okay.

I'd use powdered sugar.

Powdered sugar.

In the kitchen.

Okay, hold this.

Left.

- Toto? Now.

- Yes.

I use it with lemon

to stick Smarties on cake.

Is that a bit cold?

And go.

You're totally lesbian?

You don't like men at all?

Well , men are easy to substitute.

- We have our equipment.

- Like tofu for vegetarians.

Looks like meat, but it's not.

You could put it that way.

Toto, can I kiss you?

I haven't kissed a man for so long.

Sh*t, I think I'm more

the relationship type.

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's okay.

Nothing against you.

It was... holy moly.

Amazing. But with Kati,

we know each other.

Do not tell Paul about this.

Okay, I won't. Why?

He and Vanni were together.

Oh gross.

Sh*t.

- But he blew it.

- How come?

He's had a lot to deal with

in our family.

Since then he's lived with no ties.

He never got over

her breaking up with him.

It must be hard if your ex turns lesbian

and gets together with your sister.

If he found out...

that Vanni was with another guy,

it would break his heart.

Don't tell him, okay?

I won't, I promise.

Okay, good.

You were great.

Really? Thanks.

Sleep well.

I will, Sarah.

Good night.

Oh boy, Toto.

Oh boy.

- Hello?

- Mr. Voigt, Schmitz here.

Mr. Schmitz, I'm really sorry.

How's Gabriela?

Well. And me, too.

I wanted to thank you.

I don't know how you did it,

but Gabriela has a sheikh now,

and wants a divorce,

of her own volition.

What you did was great.

I'll recommend you.

Thanks.

Here you are!

- Thank you!

- All the best!

Hot.

I need to take a leak.

- What?

- I need to take a leak.

But we've only just. . . Okay, only ten

more minutes. You can wait that long.

That ended badly once before.

And the bumps aren't helping.

Okay listen, then just take this.

- I'm not thirsty.

- You're supposed to piss in it.

Much too small , it's just a pint.

That'll never be enough.

Finally!

It must be here. It is here, look.

That's here, isn't it? Look!

Look, see? That's here.

That's probably him.

Paul , I'll wait in the car.

- Are you Steffen?

- Yes.

- Thanks for helping me.

- Thank you, too. Your girlfriend's name?

Olga.

- Nice name.

- Yes, and she's great, but tell her...

I'm sorry, but I just can't

deal with her family situation.

Her father's crazy. He won't let her go.

I'm scared , I'm in panic. Please...

Go easy on her.

And this is really important.

When her father starts

to twitch fast and uncontrollably

with his jaw,

get the hell out. Good luck.

Why should I get the hell out?

I've come in connection

with your daughter Olga.

What do you want from her?

I need to discuss an urgent matter.

What?

May I discuss it alone with her?

No. That's not possible.

I must speak to her personally,

one to one, because...

I have a surprise for her.

Excuse me, Dad. We're all adults.

I can just talk to him in my room.

Please, Papa.

I've got it. We're all adults.

You can just go to her room and talk.

Good idea.

But if you

do anything inappropriate,

I have my eye on you.

Where can I...

But I need to take a leak!

Thank you.

I'm from the breakup agency "Happy End".

Steffen sent me. - Steffen?

Come.

How is he?

Bad, very, very bad.

And sadly I have bad news for you.

He wants to end the relationship.

- What?

- He can't deal with your family.

He's afraid , in panic about your father.

Your father won't let go of you .

- He wants to end it.

- You can't do this.

Why?

I'm pregnant.

- Oh sh*t.

- And my father doesn't know.

Listen, please could you

be a bit quieter.

- My life is ruined and I should be quiet?

- Yes, sorry. Come.

Just breathe. Deep breathing.

Deep breaths, nice and quiet.

Yes, good.

- Okay, I know what to do now.

- That's good, really good.

I'll say the baby is yours.

What? No, that's bad, really bad.

- Yes.

- Listen. No. I...

Steffen's out of the picture,

you just run and never come back.

What? No, I have nothing to do with it.

- Choose your career with care.

- What?

Help, help!

What d'you mean help?

What are you doing?

- Stop it.

- Papa!

Listen...

For f***'s sake!

- What's going on here?

- Listen, I just delivered the message.

What message?

- From Steffen.

- From who?

Steffen. Her boyfriend Steffen.

He has to break up with her.

But they were only studying for school.

Oh! Super. So I can go now.

- What? You're pregnant.

- Oh God , I don't believe it.

Yeah , I just found out, too.

Congratulations.

She said you're the father

and you're blaming it on Steffen.

- No, it's not true. No.

- I believe my daughter.

- In this case you shouldn't.

- Are you saying my daughter's lying?

- No, but she's not telling the truth.

- I am. - No. - Never mind.

- You will recognize the child

and marry my daughter! - No.

- Yes.

- No. I can't. How should that work?

Okay, what's happening?

What's he doing?

- Now run really fast!

- Run , okay. Stop! Wait!

- Promise me not to use your right

of withdrawal . - Okay, I won't.

Run ! Run away!

Toto, run!

Now what do we do, Paul?

God, it's so high.

Where is he? More bullets!

- Let go.

- No. I'm scared.

Please get your head out of my ass.

Let go, man.

I made it!

Watch out!

Crap!

You saved my life.

You saved my life.

I love you, man.

I love you.

We made it!

- Nothing like this has ever happened

to me before. Crazy. - Here's to life.

No, to you.

Just one more job,

and then I'll be a partner.

Do you like your job?

Yes. Why?

It's kind of sad, breaking people up.

Yes, sure it's sad sometimes.

But life isn't all great.

There are so many people

in unhappy relationships,

and I just help them to get happier.

To be happy, sometime.

And do you know why

they're unhappy in their relationships?

They all have

such high expectations of love.

True love only exists in fairy tales.

And even if it really existed,

out there...

there are seven billion people.
