Say, are we just a bit jealous here?

Probably.

Some women just don't know

when to quit.

The hell I don't!

I'm out of here!

Friends, is this necessary?

Ladies and gentlemen!

I must inform you of a cancellation.

Due to an indisposition,

our charming Sunny will not appear.

And now for you... the Tornados.

Hit it boys.

For last week.

I even have a gig for you.

At a bar in Berlin for one week.

I liked performing with you.

Here I am.

I came by train.

It's not good if you come in.

- Why not?

- I didn't know you were coming.

Maybe you can get a cab.

It's a bad scene.

Are you crazy?

Those are my bed covers!

Can I help you?

My sheets!

Hello, Sunny, it's Harry.

- Who?

- Harry.

- Oh, Harry.

- I'm at the hotel Berolina.

Do you want to come by

and have a nice breakfast?

- Guess what I'm doing.

- What?

Sleeping. Idiot.

In the kitchen or living room?

I want to explain.

Yesterday I screwed up.

She meant nothing to me.

Can I sit down?

We didn't set rules

for our relationship.

We really didn't.

So nothing bad happened.

But it as a bad scene.

Especially for you.

I'm sorry.

It wasn't against you.

- You said that before.

- What?

That it's not against me.

Right, you notice everything.

By the way,

not forgetting means not letting go.

OK. What do we do now?

I don't want to sleep with you.

But it's late.

Do you want to stay?

You still want to stay?

I'll stay.

I'll make the bed then.

Your kind suck people like me dry.

What did you say?

Were you beaten as a child?

No.

Why do you ask?

- Your feet look so content.

- How can feet look content?

They just look that way.

There's a knife in bed with us.

Did you put it there?

Why me?

- It's not mine.

- Why mine?

Sunny, there's only

the two of us here.

Maybe you can enlighten me

as to why it's there.

I've never seen this knife.

- I wanted to kill you.

- And why didn't you?

I fell asleep.

lf you hadn't fallen asleep

I'd be dead!?

As dead as could be.

When I saw that ass stuffing his face,

it was over.

Over... finished.

Sunny, you were good.

I can't drink enough

to block the crowd out.

For me you sang really good.

Congratulations!

- "Really well", not "really good".

- It's all the same, girl.

Two more!

The people have to want me

or else I can't do it.

Cheers.

I'll get us a taxi.

- ls that your glass?

- Yeah, why?

Cheers. .

I have to go farther.

I promised someone and I'm expected.

What's the matter?

I've tried and tried.

What the hell is the matter?

Can i sleep here?

I have to lose someone.

- Good morning.

- You can eat what you want.

Just yesterday

we were talking about you.

I had a solo gig.

You have to tell me about it.

Do you have sleeping pills?

Somewhere.

Find one.

- Will you be here when I'm back?

- I don't know.

- You can smell the booze, huh?

- Just a little bit. Bye.

Bye.

- Obviously alcohol too.

- OK, same procedure.

An assfull probably helped.

Use the big hose. It'll go faster.

What's her occupation?

You can get up.

It was a problem family.

She always lived alone

and kept to herself.

After work she learned to really sing

and read notes.

Night school.

Was she in a relationship lately?

I don't know.

Actually, I don't know much about her.

- What's going on with you?

- Everything happened at once.

I drank something...

I heard pills and alcohol don't mix.

Any pain?

Know what the favorite word is here

''Partner.''

They don't have a grip either.

Finding the right man is a lottery.

- I don't get the one i want.

- It's the same for many.

It must be my problem.

It must be me.

Maybe I could work for you again.

Seriously, I could go back there again.

- You're not used to it anymore.

- So? I did it before.

My impression is

that you are argumentative.

It has to do with me.

It absolutely does.

Because I always had to assert myself.

That means that you're very honest?

No. I'm not that honest.

I'm more like a battery

that is being charged.

And then you say what you think?

Sometimes.

But my insults are very targeted.

I would like to know

how you term success.

Success...

I've never really had it.

One time.

The people stopped dancing to listen.

Success for me is telling people

what I think of them.

I think I have to know...

that someone wants me.

Yes. I can understand that.

I really can.

You haven't changed much, Ingrid.

What for?

It's still the same here too.

Do you have a minute?

I'm going to be a singer too.

What do think of my voice?

Those in love

seek each other

I've been looking

Found my way to you

From being in love

to love

This street we walk together

And we go with each other

Like the river flowing

To the sea

To the sea

I want to love

I want to live

It's me, Sunny.

Know how long

we've known each other?

Almost a year and a half.

I came into Lolott's.

You were at the bar

in that green dress.

I forgot about that, Harry.

Everyone wants to make buck.

That's life.

You too.

I make it with a taxi 24 hours a day.

And it's all mine.

And it's more than enough for two.

You don't have to say anything.

But I'd consider getting married.

I reserved a suite.

Please fill this out.

Success comes our way swiftly.

The victory parade begins.

Because we're both naive

with sexy eyes and chins.

won't tell you my life story.

It will take too long.

I'm older than you.

I started as a total orphan.

Funny, I'm also an orphan.

That's not a laughing matter.

But it's true. Mother died.

I never met my father.

Then we go well together.

I mean, spiritually of course.

No go, Sunny?

Sorry, Harry.

No go.

It's not fair of me.

I'm the one who called.

And you took care of everything.

Come here.

You can really ruin it for a guy.

- It's nice.

- Do you think so?

- What does it mean?

- Someone once wrote it for me.

What did they say at work

after I quit again?

No one was surprised.

I make myself sick.

A teacher told me once:

''You'll either land on the bottom.''

"Or you be something special."

For some stupid reason

I can't forget that.

Nobody told me anything like that.

What are you crying about?

Everything.

You really have a gift. You can sing.

You can't lose your courage.

- I have to look different.

- You're beautiful as you are.

I have to wear different clothes.

I can sew you some.

I have a machine at home.

- I'm always so alone.

- No, you're not.

- Why are you crying, Christine?

- Just crying with you.

Last night I dreamt very clearly.

Someone came into the room.

And he looked around and said:

"Traces of Sunny. She lived here."

But I'm so far away.

I want to come back but i can't.

I can't. I can't.

I read your ad for a singer.

I'm interested.

Are we looking for a doorman?

I'm blunt, sleep with whoever I want,

The Tornados dropped me. I'm Sunny.

OK. Tomorrow is rehearsal.
