Staub auf unseren Herzen Page #3

---

You see,

it has to do with this dual character.

You got so into the part that

everything else became unimportant.

I felt so comfortable doing it.

I'm sorry.

- You're a great actress.

- And you're a great director.

Then just give me the part.

- I'm leaving now.

- Wait a minute.

Was the director stupid?

I can't understand it...

He was actually nice, but...

I don't know anymore.

He was nice,

but I'm not getting the part.

I was absolutely certain

it would work out.

Now I have nothing left.

Didn't you have another audition?

You mentioned it recently.

Yes.

That sounds promising.

You're in a dialogue.

With him, with his production company,

and with others.

You're being talked about.

They know who you are, they want you.

So it didn't work out this time.

Next time it will.

And if not, the next time for sure.

I can't believe I made out with him.

Hey, come here.

No, not on the floor.

Let me pull you up. Come here.

My sweet little Katharina,

what's wrong?

Come here, my little girl.

Why don't you let him draw it himself?

- Yes.

- Finished.

Right...

Should we have a sandwich

or something?

Are you hungry, Lenni?

Do you want to eat?

I have a suggestion.

How about leaving Lenni

with me for a while?

- What do you mean?

- That he stays here for a time.

- I don't like the idea.

- Why?

Honestly,

I don't understand why you ask.

- May I explain?

- Yes, you may.

Okay, well...

You lost track of the child.

Something could have happened to him.

I think that right now,

you're a bit...

off track.

I think you should concentrate

on your professional goals.

It's normal that life

doesn't always run smoothly.

- He can still be with me.

- Darling, you don't have to tell me.

I treat people

with rough lives every day.

And why shouldn't he come with me?

- Come with me.

- You see? He doesn't want to.

Damn.

Are you forbidding me to take my son?

- Are you mad?

- You can see that he's unhappy.

Yes, I can.

He's caught in the crossfire.

- It has something to do with you.

- May I please take my son home?

Listen to me,

you need to get your sh*t together.

Something's out of balance.

You muck up one audition after the next.

- Nice thing to say in front of him.

- I'm covering his ear.

Come on now, Lenni.

Come here.

We have to go.

- I'm taking him to the bathroom now.

- Are you mad?

- You can think everything over.

- I want to bring Lenni home.

No, absolutely not.

Sh*t!

You're on the wrong path,

don't you see?

What are you doing?

- Keep your hands off him.

- I won't play this game. I won't.

Keep your hands off.

You should help me

to raise my child

and not work against me.

Come with me to the door.

You give him to me and we'll go.

- Just try to take him.

- You should help me.

You're ruining everything.

No, I'm not. You are!

Please, darling.

I only want to help you.

- Why?

- So that you can get centred again.

How can I get centred

with this hanging over me?

- Your child just ran away from you.

- And now you're taking him.

You had a nervous breakdown.

I'm not taking him away.

Please...

Don't be sad.

Okay then.

Lenni, see you tomorrow, right?

See you tomorrow.

Sleep well. Goodnight.

- Ciao.

- Goodbye, Mum.

- Ciao, take care.

- You too.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Don't even think about the camera.

We'll simply start recording.

I'd like a close-up.

Are you familiar with the scene?

Have you seen it?

Yes, I've seen the film, but I can't

remember the scene somehow.

It's the scene with the bathtub.

Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli.

- Where she's wearing the wig.

- I've got a total blackout...

I have to watch the film again.

Could you tell me

what you want from me?

The truth.

You want all this to end badly,

don't you?

- Admit the truth would be unpleasant.

- I'll admit nothing.

You just said

it'll come to an end between us.

I just said that to say something.

- Now let me go.

- Why do you dislike me?

I don't. Now let me go.

Kathi, how are you acting now?

Why did you decide to begin this way?

I just thought

I wouldn't perform at all

and see how things develop.

This kind of took over.

Should we jump right into

the scene? We can do that too.

- Okay.

- Wait a sec.

We'll part the hair a bit.

Not bad, it flatters you.

This is the situation:

you love him but can't live with him.

And you want him to leave you alone.

You want to leave,

but he won't let you, okay?

- Yes.

- That's the situation.

We could say the sofa is... Ouch...

an island and we can't get away.

However you want to do it is fine.

Only the situation...

If you think of this as an island,

all the better.

Let's start the scene again.

Could you tell me

what you want from me?

The truth.

You want all this... to end badly,

don't you?

Kathi, just say:
"I don't love you

anymore. " Yet you still love him.

You love him, but tell him:

"I don't love you anymore. "

I don't love you anymore.

I don't love you anymore.

Kathi, you have to love him still.

You love him!

I don't love you anymore.

- But you loved me once. Alot.

- And I no longer love you now.

Sorry, wait a minute.

I'll just remove the wig.

You stay here and tell me why.

- Tell me the truth!

- There is no reason!

- Could you do it again, please?

- There's going to be a surprise.

You want all this to end badly,

don't you?

What do you want?

So you admit that the truth

would be unpleasant for me.

Actually...

Actually, I wanted us to keep living

together, like before.

That's what I wanted.

But now...

But now I don't love you anymore.

There's nothing to explain.

- Can we put the script between us?

- Oh, man!

As soon as I'm into it,

it's always...

Then sit over here.

- Feel how he kissed you before.

- Okay, got it.

Look at him, he's the man you love.

- But I also want to see the contempt.

- Okay.

Could you tell me...

what you want from me?

The truth.

You want all this to end badly,

don't you?

It's true:
I don't love you anymore.

Sh*t...

So, now tell him

you don't love him anymore.

I don't love you anymore.

- But you loved me once, didn't you?

- Yes.

- I feel so dizzy.

- Okay, thanks.

Is everything okay?

Where's your water?

Do you need a glass of water?

Did you breathe too much?

Hyperventilated?

I didn't think so.

Hello, this is Kathi.

I wanted to pick up Lenni tonight.

I don't know... I never agreed

to that. I don't understand.

Yes, okay.

Today I will...

Gabriel is picking him up.

I had an appointment today.

Yes.

Is he okay?

Yes, he's fine.

And how are you?

Tell me.

Well, I...

Well...

Do you want to really tell me?

Let's go to the other room.

Would you like to sit there?

Sure, why not.

Do you want to be coached?

Okay.

- Ms Bartsch.

- Yes, Ms Bartsch.

- Whydid you come to see me?

- I came because...

Mylife is spinning out of control.

At the moment,

I'm not really earning money.

Actually, almost nothing at all.

I'm dependent on my mother.

It's wonderful that she helps me.
