The Crocodiles

---

Are you scared, Hannes?

- He's brave. He'll make it.

That's not true.

- All of us went up.

Even Peter, who's known to sh*t himself.

- I do not!

But what will we do

if he falls off?

Duck!

The pendants are at the top.

If you get it, you're in.

Yes, keep going Hannes!

Sh*t!

Great.

Ah!

- Hannes, come down from there now!

Yes, Hannes dear, get down!

You are still so little! - Little?

How stupid of you!

- Is that how do you talk to your boss?.

Whoever wants to be a crocodile,

must go up. - I don't have to.

As Olli's sister...

- Get him or I'll tell Dad,

that you secretly surf the web.

- And I'll tell mom about the lipstick.

- No more homework!

- No more gummi bears.

Sisters!

Shut up, Frank!

Good, that's a girl.

- I'm up!

- You see. Totally harmless.

- Ah!

Spazzo, take it easy!

This is so dangerous!

Sorry.

- Get him!

- He is on the roof, that's the goal.

Now he's a crocodile!

Ah!

- Not good!

- Help!

- Maria, call the fire department.

- Help!

- No connection! I'm going to town!

- Help me! Help!

Olli, look out, the ladder!

- Ah!

Help!

Mom? Dad!

Is this the fire department? Someone's

hanging from the roof of the brick factory!

Help!

Ah!

- He's coming down.

- Everyone take cover.

- Help!

- Frank, wait.

Ah! Ah!

Help!

Mom? I just can't.

I'll call back. - You got through?

Help!

Ah!

Oh god.

Well, come on.

I'm so glad nothing happened to you.

Howls?

Why? Because my mom

doesn't call as much as yours?

You dim wit! Who sh*t into your brain?

Who are you?

- We are the crocodiles.

- The suburban crocodiles!

Bye.

Hello.

Oh, you're a superhero.

Oh, oh.

- I'm back!

- Mom! How was it at the store?

- Like usual. - Many customers?

- Not for us.

Will you look for a well-paying

job after graduation?

Then you could always pay the rent.

If we don't run off back

to Grandma's again.

- Bon appetit.

- Bon appetit.

Did you do something special today?

Me? Ah... no. Why?

- I spoke with Mrs. Koschmieder

next door. - Oh yes.

Something happened.

The fire department brought me home.

- Did you call the Fire Department?

- No.

Is your skateboard broken and did

you hitch a ride home? - No.

Is it better if I don't know why?

I'll wash up.

And do ironing for a week.

If I work all day,

I need to know...

that you're not up to no good.

Is that asking too much? - No.

Take care of yourself. Otherwise I'll

no longer have a man around. - Yes.

I'll do that.

Look, now I'm the crocodile.

Ah, ah! These are Grandma's

best dishes! I'll do it.

I won't even stumble.

- What is that?

- It came today, darling.

- I won't go to the special school!

- Special School for the Disabled.

It'll be easier access for you there.

- I have 158 friends.

For SZV students there are computer things.

- Still 157 more than you

But they're not here.

They can't look out for you.

- Mom, my hair!

- Look, we'll make a deal:

If you make friends by the end of holiday,

who respect you in school, just one.

Otherwise, you'll probably be better off

at the school for the physically disabled.

Unlike you, I'm fine being alone.

If you have no friends at holiday's end,

we'll try the special school.

Until then, I have 10 friends!

Does Kai Wolermann live here? - Yes.

I would like to have a word.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Nice. Kai.

- Darling?

- Leave me alone!

I'll get him.

- What do you have there?

- What do you want?

You got the fire department.

I wanted to say thanks.

- Then just say it.

- I did. How did you see it?

At night, I'm a superhero, you know?

- Sure. Once again, thank you.

And a speedy recovery.

"A speedy recovery"?

I have a telescope.

It cost 200 euros.

Are you a peeping tom or something?

- Astronomer. But I'd like to be an astronaut.

I see. Astronomers find my great grandma well.

The also read horoscopes and such.

Cool. Are you rich or something?

- No.

But I always get what I want.

I can even lend it to you.

- We have no television.

I prefer to play outside.

- On the roofs?

Schni-Schna-Schnappi-fanclub?

- We're the crocodiles.

That is our club mascot.

- Slimy, small, almost extinct.

In other words:
courage, strength and honesty.

But you understand nothing.

Can I join in?

Maybe I'll learn something.

The spaz? No way!

Should we build an escalator?

He can't even stand lookout.

- Or run away.

Unless it's on a downhill.

Okay, that's sort of funny.

If I had fallen from the roof,

I might be in a wheelchair.

Then you'd get kicked out!

Handicaps should keep to themselves.

- It's called "physically disadvantaged. "

Then Frank is also disadvantaged.

He's at a physical disadvantage!

Shut up or you'll be

physically disadvantaged too!

We'll vote:
Who wants you to bring

along the cripple? - I do.

Me too.

- Did he give you money to do this?

I'll explain it to you if you'd grow up.

- Two vote in favor. Who's against it?

So, the cripple is rejected again.

Basketball?

- My second broken bone this year.

Wheelchair basketball with brittle bones?

Not so cool. - Better than rugby.

Wait a minute. Something shattered.

- Well, not me.

buy a house on Crete.

With picturesque views, a garden...

And you'd have closets.

With shoes, clothes and stuff.

- Maria needs that stuff, not I.

What do you mean?

- You're a typical boy.

So with your clothes and stuff.

- What?

I think it suits you.

- Slug.

He's just a crush, the bird.

- He is not, you moron!

Hey! Cripple alert.

Hi.

- Bye.

Bye.

- Wait! I saw the break-in.

Really? Were the police told?

- No.

If Mom finds out that I can't

sleep, I'll have to see a doctor.

Did you recognize anyone?

- One had a camouflage jacket.

I know where they go. I'll tell you,

but take me along to your meeting place.

Bye. Finally!

- Sorry, but I've gotta go.

Wait! Kai saw the break-in.

- Hello? He's lying!

What are you doing in our tree house?

- Shut up, you child.

Yes! You child!

- Junior, why's your phone off?

Sorry, it's broken.

- Just tell us, my old man.

We're having a little party.

- I'll clean up before dad comes.

Right. The last time there was

the stench of beer. - That's obvious.

And as a reward we had to

clean the new car... spotless.

So would you like to, huh?

- I don't need any penis enlargement.

Penis enlargement.

Look at the pisser!

Say again, are you nuts?

- Be careful what you say, fuckface.

Olli.

- Sh!

Do you still think I need a

penile enlargement? - Yes!

Are you suicidal...

- He doesn't mean it!

Shut up, fatty!

Olli, Olli. At your age

I had a big mouth.

But eventually I learned to

to respect my elders.

They can hurt you.

Especially when you least expect it.

If you're alone.

- Crocodiles are never alone. Never.

Sweet little ones. Really wild.

- Wild, wild.

We get pissed off then

begin to howl. - Yes, exactly.

Howl.

- Howl, children. Howl! Howl!

Man, are they stupid?

Sh*t.

I need to clean up the house.

- Right before CSI.

Then we'll meet here again tomorrow.

See you later, alligator.

Cool. Rocket engine.
