The strategy previously laid out

in this dossier is a viable option

for reaching the necessary

civilian consolidation.

Jochen Klett, the Klner Stadtanzeiger.

What about the fine print?

You listed small arms as one-time supply,

e.g. for use in law enforcement,

yet l see the exact same sum next year.

ls this the notorious shortage?

That can be found

in the summarized statistics.

Sure, blame it on the Sumerians.

That's not what l meant.

l cannot answer that question at present.

Monia Karen, Berliner Zeitung.

Could you comment on the problems

with the heavily armored vehicles?

What problems?

Allegedlyyou had

to leave behind brand new vehicles.

Where did you get that idea?

l'm not aware of that.

l find that a bit surprising...

And my cell is off.

- And the battery?

Can't tae it out.

- Ah, that's right.

l'm glad that you came.

Don't be glad too soon.

O, what does that mean?

Who is it?

- l still won't tell you.

Seriously, what does he want?

As usual. He was sipped over

and now he has his doubts.

What about the veterans?

- Nothing yet. - What?

l can't just contact a returnee.

Word will get around.

But l'm woring on it, of course.

Listen, Fabian, l don't now if you

heard, but we have a new trainee.

l promised her that...

Fabian, she is good.

- No.

We'll be doing Hamburg a favor.

Wait a second.

lt's Hubach.

Can you come to my office? Thans.

You loo lie you're 57.

Listen, we'll need something soon.

Out in Gelsenirchen.

This here?

'Headless'?

How long do l have?

- Sooner the better.

Mr. Nailly.

You now that this law

is very important to us.

lt's strategically important to Germany.

We are quite concerned that...

- Mr. Nailly, we have not yet ordered.

Are you not hungry at all?

- Yes, of course l am...

Excuse me.

Could we do it again?

l thin it would be better...

- Yes, what now?

Don't blurt it straight out.

ls the waiter ours?

Not yet.

Mr. Nailly, if you could ensure

that the Minister sits here, next to you,

and not in this confrontational position.

Yes, so... l'm just here with you.

Yes, on my good side.

Let's start over again.

Wal bac in with renewed energy, O?

This is a little too much.

Go ahead, Mr. Nailly...

- O, l'm going.

Now then, here l am,

sitting with you.

Yes, on my good side.

Two words:

German economy.

May l interrupt?

What is it now?

lsn't this quite a charming place.

Do you come here often?

Lie that.

Or comment on his attire...

He was voted best dressed in a tie.

lndeed. He appreciates fine suits.

- O, nice suit...

lt would help if you could

deal with the waiter.

Male or female?

- Male.

Nice suit. Charming place.

- Than you.

Excellent.

l'm always dragged to these

pseudo-modern class cubes.

And then, come straight to the point.

Minister...

We have nothing to hide.

l would lie to interest you

in a project that affects all of us.

Minister, we have nothing to hide.

l would lie to...

'l would lie

to interest you in a project#

Minister, l would lie

to interest you...

Not so serious. Loosen up a bit.

Minister, l would lie to interest you

in a project that affects all of us.

Completely loose.

l've been doing this for 30 years!

l don't want to listen to this sh*t!

Didn't thin

you'd see me again so soon.

Always a welcome sight.

You came over the tracs?

- l couldn't resist.

The tracs are onlyfor emergencies.

You now that!

Onlyfor emergencies!

How are you?

Here to play?

Gentlemen.

Myfriend Fabian will roll the dice.

Is that O?

We play on, gentlemen.

Doesn't loo so good for you.

Thans.

Just what l wanted to hear.

l don't now if l can help your luc.

That doesn't matter.

- Doesn't matter.

Yes.

Where are we going?

- Anywhere.

l'm out of money.

- l now.

AUTO PAWN SHOP:

lt's O.

One wee. Ten percent.

Excuse me?

Since when is it 10 percent?

Last time it was $.

Loo for a new car.

Put it next to the SE.

Wait a sec. Last time it was $.

Do you want the money or not?

Careful with the clutch, O?

He ruins my car everytime.

Good evening, Minister.

Charming.

- Have you never been here?

l'm always dragged to these

pseudo-modern class cubes.

l now what you mean.

Here l am, sitting with you.

On my good side.

May l offer you the menu?

You are new here, right?

- Yes.

Now l'm...

No offence...

Is Heie here?

l can as.

Something wrong?

- l'm conservative, as you are aware.

We'll let Heie recommend something.

Leaders are needed in everyjungle.

Now you are getting to the point.

You want to be my Fhrer?

Perhaps it will suffice,

to mae a couple of notes on the map.

Heie.

- Mr. Dellbrc.

Surprise me.

You'll see.

Your suit...

Get to the point.

You now what we need.

l don't believe it will come

to an actual debate, if you as me.

We would rather

not leave that to chance.

Up till now, every harmonization

has been waived through,

since the wording is so complicated.

Cheers.

You read the report?

- Yes.

At times it seems

that you are discussing a first-aid it,

while all around

evermhing blows up in our face.

Spare me your metaphors of war.

lt's true.

Evermhing is blowing up in our faces.

The Chinese don't care.

They don't just buy up the maret...

You now that! They are starving us

by limiting raw materials.

But it cannot mean

that we cut down on wor safety...

A bit more leeway.

Dellbrc.

You can count on me.

But l do not feel responsible

for the opposition.

lt's enough if you tae care

of your own people.

l am satisfied if nothing more

is added to the blaclist.

Especially Substance Group B

has to remain untouched.
