I want cool it,

save some cash

and go to Turkey.

Understand?

Sun, beach, the sea, a job

What kind of job?

Don't know yet,

I'll find something.

I can sell trinkets.

We can do it too.

Good idea.

What's your last name?

Lorenz.

Yenilmez & Lorenz.

Sounds good.

- I thought you were a cool guy!

- Like you, right?

What are you laughing at??

Come on, let's dance.

Good idea.

Now I feel guilty.

Never mind, he'll get over it.

I'm going to dance.

Almost like in the old times.

- How about a picture?

- Good idea.

Boys, look this way!

Show her you don't need her.

- But I need her.

- You only talk bullshit.

- I talk bullshit?

- Yes, dude.

- Costa, do I talk bull?

- Bullshit in vinegar.

- It's you who talks bull!

- I just gave him some advice.

I'm scared, dudes.

You'll manage.

Don't even think about hitting her.

You'd f*** it up.

You'd be f***ed up.

I don't want to lose her.

You're not going to lose her.

Best of luck, dude.

I don't know how these

things are done.

What?

Breaking up.

I've never done it.

Don't lie!

You're doing just fine!

I don't want to mess you up,

we can stay as friends.

Friends?

For a beer, a smoke

- I'm serious.

- So am I.

What the f*** is

wrong with you?

I don't know.

I do.

You don't love me anymore.

No

I'm not going to cry in front of you.

I'm not, OK?

I can't stand it.

I wish there was some

trick to make it easier.

Don't leave me.

I swear I'll stop stealing.

I'll stop smoking pot,

I'll look for work. Please.

I can't.

Then leave. Go!

Go away!

F*** you!

Did you hear me?

F*** you!

At first I just wanted to screw her.

I tried time and time again.

But got nowhere.

And then I thought:

You've fallen in love with her.

Gabriel,

when she wakes me up

with a kiss,

I open my eyes and think:

I'm hallucinating.

Then we sit on the bed,

we had coffee,

smoked and talked.

Talked and talked.

She's the only woman

that accepts me as I am.

How many chicks

accept you just as you are?

Why do you think she

fell in love with you?

Because perhaps I'm not a prick

like some people believe.

Sure you don't want to work with me?

Got a meeting with one of

the Albanians tomorrow.

I'll ask if they

need someone else.

Leave it, dude. No more of

that sh*t for me.

No more.

Ceyda!

Did you leave him?

You really messed it up!

Why?

Why is this happening to me?

I don't understand!

It's always the same!

Sh*t!

This chick is going to drive me crazy!

Going crazy!

Sh*t!

Why didn't you break

the other window?

Now I would have

a dress for Alice.

You should have said that before.

Come on, let's go back.

- Shouldn't have said that.

- Costa!

Look what you've done!

Don't provoke him, dude.

Damn slut!

Are my ears humming or were

you talking about my sister?

Your kid sister I'm sorry.

- Sometimes I forget.

- Then write it down.

My father says that

you should cut your hair.

True, you should cut that hair.

- You look like Jesus Christ, dude.

- I am Jesus Christ!

I love you, kid.

What would your father do if

he found out his daughter

is going out with a Greek?

He'd cut his head off.

Just for being Greek?

No, for putting your hands on his daughter.

And if I were Turkish?

You would disappoint your parents.

My parents?

I don't understand.

Don't you understand?

If you were Turkish

and your parents Greek

- You're bullshitting.

- A sucker he is.

Well, the Greeks don't

smell like roses.

And they crawl like slime.

This is for you and this for you!

Sit on Serbian

meat and row!

Come on, come on.

A**hole!

Of course I'm an a**hole,

what did you think.

Hey, Nejo!

Long time no see.

Sh*t!

I can't believe it.

He's picking up your girl.

Are you going to allow it?

Are you going to allow it?

And who you are, punk?

- So this is the reason, uh?

- Costa, dude, beat it!

Stay here!

Don't allow it!

Take your friends with you!

You shut up!

OK, OK.

Enough already, OK?

Sven, leave him alone!

Sven, stop!

I'll teach you, f***er!

Like in the old times!

- OK already!

- Stop!

Sven!

Sven, leave him alone!

Gabriel!

Leave him, Gabriel!

Gabriel!

Stop!

Gabriel, like in the old times!

Let me kiss you!

Go f*** yourself!

What's wrong with you?

I'm just out of the can!

Have you forgotten?

Just out, and starting

all over again!

Relax what's wrong with you?

Face it, you've f***ed up.

OK, I'm sorry, so what?

You're sorry?

So am I.

For hanging out with you!

- Everything's fine.

- Nothing's fine!

Think you're gonna get her back this way?

You don't know her then.

That's not the way!

I just beat up a guy

who did me no wrong.

Go f*** a duck!

I'm going home to sleep.

What's wrong with him?

He wants to become an adult

and we won't let him.

It's almost dawn.

You coming to pray with me, son?

Not now.

Good day.

Suit yourself.

Good night.

I thought you didn't want any more fights.

If your boyfriend hits my friends,

I defend them.

You're an idiot, Ceyda.

You know what you've

done to Costa?

What were you doing smooching here

in Altona in front of everybody?

Do it in Wandsbek or wherever,

but not here.

None of your business where

I do it or who I do it with.

I have always defended you.

I've supported and protected you

in front of mom and dad.

You stay out until you feel like it.

How many Turkish girls are allowed that?

When you fell in love with Costa

I supported you and respected him.

But I won't respect that dude.

He makes me want to puke.

I don't choose who I fall in love with!

You always want

the best for me, right?

He doesn't do drugs, he studies,

has money, and takes care of himself.

- Can Costa offer me that?

- Ceyda

he needs you.

Do I have to sacrifice my life?

Go to sleep.

Why did you leave Silvio?

Made me work like a black slave,

but never trusted me.

Besides, he has no style.

- Why didn't he ever trust you?

- Because he's my uncle.

Your uncle?

I'm in a car with

Silvio's nephew?

Is that upsetting?

Look kid, if you have problems

and want revenge on your relatives,

get down right now

before I throw you out.

My mother always said:

Don't trust the Serbs.

- Why should I trust you now?

- Why?

Because I'm good.

Because you're good!

So you're good.

See that gypsy over there?

He owes me a pile of money.

And won't return it.

"Tomorrow", he says to me.

Been saying tomorrow

for a week.

I should stop and kick his ass in.

Are you good?

Show me.

Want me to kick his ass in?

Do it and you're hired.

You'll hire me as what?

Do it or get lost.

OK, I'll do it.

I'm not going to help to you.

Do you know Muhamer?

He's there. You owe him something.

Give me the money.

Give me the money or I'll

break your f***ing face.

And don't come back this way

or else you'll be f***ed.

Did you pay the Kurds?

I know those boys.

They're dealers.

I told them that this guy was

selling smack on the street.

What did you do?

I went up to them and said:

"That guy's selling smack

in your neighborhood."

"I have nothing to do with that."
