It doesn't matter, we're insured.

And tonight we celebrate.

- Have you finished the last job?

- I lost my driver's license.

Don't worry, Mr. Dreher

will take the case. He's an...

excellent lawyer with things like this.

So concentrate on

the essentials. You're a partner now.

How does that sound?

See you this evening.

Don't come too late.

A very good afternoon to you.

Could I come in for a moment?

You've come from my husband.

- Yes.

- And what's it about?

Well...

- It's about...

- Mama,

- Tatti took my doll again.

- I did not.

Enough about the doll. We have a visitor.

The man's brought a present for Mama.

Sorry, so what's it about?

Did we win anything?

Here he comes.

Paul , my dear fellow, congratulations.

Partner. Now you really are a partner.

So, how does that sound? Great, eh?

Many thanks for kicking Mr. Kuhlmann

up the ass. That's a gift to us all.

Congratulations again on your promotion,

Mr. Voigt. A round of applause!

Many thanks.

I n the last few days I've Iearnt a lot.

There are many reasons why we should

break up from someone, but

there are at least twice as many reasons

why we should stay together.

When I look around, then I see...

people who've made it their mission

to break up relationships for a profit.

I include myself.

We've all broken up relationships

that were only in crisis,

but who would never have abandoned love.

One such person is your daughter Kati.

Kati had the most enchanting,

loving person as her boyfriend.

Yes, and I destroyed that happiness,

and I realized we're not just messengers,

we're bad advisors who only do their

job well if they don't believe in love.

And I believe in love.

A friend told me

that love is not for cowards.

Yes and he's right.

You have to dare.

And that's why I'd like to tell you that

your partner is ending the relationship.

We're not cowards.

We're partners.

Sh*t. My head.

The doctors say you'll die soon.

What? Really?

Why?

Just kidding.

You've got a cranio-cerebral trauma.

You'll be fine.

And your last job?

Did you get it done?

No. I quit.

Yes.

And I have a surprise for you.

Hello, Toto.

- Are you alright?

- Yes, yes.

Is that for me?

Of course, who else?

I'll get a vase.

You're back.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm so sorry.

You look wonderful.

I fell out of a car,

and got a cranio- cerebral trauma.

I magine that!

I knew you would do that. That's why...

Alright.

There.

Hello, this is Natalie,

please leave a message after the beep.

I'm not leaving. Would you

be so good and come to the door?

If you don't, I'll sing on the machine

until you volunteer to come out.

You know I'm a bad singer,

so please come out.

Okay, so I'm going to start singing.

Have it your way.

It's a...

song from a friend of mine.

So. Un , deux, trois...

Sh*t. Alright.

I can do this for hours.

At night as well.

I'll do this for so long

that you can't sleep,

and you're really tired .

Can you be any quieter?

Sorry. No, I have to...

Hunger. You still have to go shopping.

If you order food , you have to open up.

I'm staying till you speak to me.

- Quiet up there.

- Calm down, this is important.

I'm staying till you come back to me.

Because...

from now on I want to stay with you.

Because I love you.

Listen.

You don't force me to do anything

when you want to be close.

I really want that. Unconditionally.

Are you sure?

Yes.

One wish.

I'd like to go for a walk with you,

and you tell me something

about yourself.
