How long do you go with Helga?

Quite a while now.

She'll make you crazy.

once.

She didn't tell you from him?

He's a friend of my captain.

He's a captain, too. Very handsome.

He has now a very nice girlfriend.

Uh, was actress in movies. Very nice.

She's much prettier than Helga.

I think Helga is sorry now.

You let Helga go out

with other soldiers?

Sometimes.

My captain don't let me go out

with nobody.

Good for him.

Did you get Helga a job in the PX?

No, I didn't.

My captain gave me a job in office.

Exactly what I asked for.

Oh... Nice, huh?

Goodbye.

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

Helga, I say hello for you

to everybody, hmm?

Cow!

You know why

she comes here tonight?

She wanted me to go

to party with her, with the Russians.

- Would that be so unusual?

- What you talk about?

Well, she said you had

a Russian boyfriend once, a captain.

She said this? Me, with Russians,

after what they have done to me?!

You believe a crazy thing like that?

- Papi!

- Ja?

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

Never her, Sergeant, never.

She good girl.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I didn't believe it anyway.

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

What's the matter?

What's she saying?

She says how it was

when the Russians came

and took everything away

and put us on the street...

- How could they do that?

- I don't know. They just did.

They said the house

was too big for us.

Well, they gave you this place,

according to your sister.

That's right.

Here in the Russian Sector?

Do you want it to happen to me again?

Thank you (!)

Helga, what really happened?

I mean, did you really get raped?

- You think I lie? Is that it? Okay.

- No, I don't think you'd lie...

I don't wan to talk about it.

You believe whatever you want.

Okay, I believe you.

They were like animals.

Drunk.

I still remember

how they smelled from sweat.

You said you didn't want to talk

about it, so why talk about it?

You're jealous.

Okay. Okay, darling.

We don't talk about it no more.

And we don't fight no more. Yeah?
