They've Got Knut Page #3

---

Will it stay at that?

That's what we should care about.

l'm afraid time is running out on us,

that we're not doing enough.

Don't berate yourself.

Amazing how you're dealing with

the situation. others would break down.

Who would l be helping

if l got all hysterical? No one.

l'm almost embarrassed.

lt's like you're giving us support,

when it should be the other way around.

Women are stronger than men anyway .

-l agree. Definitely.

Do you know anyone we could call

who might know something?

Not really.

l don't have much to do with

Knut's political stuff, actually.

l guess you give him some balance, huh?

l think that's good for him.

l don't know.

Politics just doesn't interest me.

l bet you're more political

in your way than many a politician.

lncluding members of the cabinet,

and others.

Something else l'd like to say, Silvia.

l also really admire how you're coping,

but what's strength in you

is just total ignorance in others.

l won't name any names,

but it really gets on my nerves.

lt's disrespectful to Knut,

and to you as well.

l think they're all pretty nice.

-l think that's a wonderful attitude,

but it's shitty that certain people

are taking advantage of it.

Hello, it's me again.

Yes.

Hi.

-l'm looking for Nadia.

She's gone to bed. lt's been a long day .

Yeah, it has.

-Good night.

Good night.

Jan skis as well as l do.

lt's just more fun.

But l'll ski with you too.

-l hardly saw you all day.

And Jan is friends with Knut.

He's truly worried about him too,

and l can talk to him about it.

-You don't give me a chance to talk.

You're obsessed with our new beginning.

lt's all you see.

Don't you care about it?

Suddenly you realize you don't want to

sleep around anymore and you love me.

Would you rather l hadn't realized it?

-l'm worried, but you can't comfort me.

l know why you're doing it, after all.

-You blame me for wanting to start over?

That destroys my credibility, or what?

-l'm not blaming you. lt's just that

l'd rather talk about Knut with a friend

of his than with someone who hates him.

So you won't let me help you because

whatever l do, l have ulterior motives.

Even the fact that l care about you

is used against me!

What are you trying to prove?

-l want you to understand my situation.

Fine. You're right, l'm wrong.

Still, l feel how l feel.

okay, now that everyone's here

we can do our little warm-up program.

Make a circle.

Here, on the side.

other way.

Do you think

they'll still be there tomorrow?

Don't think l'm going to pick them up.

-l don't care. They're crappy anyway.

They're totally shitty skis.

-No, Jens, please leave them.

l can carry them.

-l want Lars to do it himself,

like everyone else.

-lt's no problem.

l'll just carry them up the hill.

You can carry mine too!

okay, they all get on the bus.

They get off.

But now they all get mixed up.

The good ones spread out.

Now, this is a hotel.

-okay.

And these are different tour groups.

The jacks belong together...

The aces belong together,

and so do the kings.

Close your eyes for a minute.

Now look.

That's great!

Put it back for a second.

You can put it right there.

-l can afford the goalie.

He takes the pass and runs!

oh, no, Lars! Not like that!

-He's cute, huh?

Who?

-Who do you think?

l wouldn't hesitate long.

They'll let your guy out soon enough.

oh, Rolf. He's a nice guy,

but we're just friends.

Sure. l happen to know

he has the hots for you.

You talked about it?

-lf my guy were in jail,

l'd take advantage of the opportunity .

But no chance, with my little pacifist.

l was arrested once at a demonstration.

-Sure, my tough little criminal.

Knead a little harder.

ls Wolfgang still in the bathroom?

-l would hope so.

lt's free.

Wolfgang went to make a phone call.

Good.

This isn't over yet.

Did you talk to Wolfgang about the skis?

-Strangely enough,

l haven't gotten around to that yet.

-l'm serious.

And l wanted to know if you've reserved

the stove for your clothes.

They're wet.

-Maybe others have the same problem.

Maybe we need to find

a solution that works for everyone.

The others don't fall as often as l do.

-The others have sharper ski edges.

Besides, they don't exactly improve

the air in here. Especially your shoes.

Can't you be a bit more considerate?

The situation is tense enough.

Michael is one

of Knut's old activist buddies.

Well, l don't know Knut and he

doesn't interest me all that much.

That's the problem. You're the only one

who's here through me and not Knut,

and l wish you'd try to fit in

with the group more.

Some l get along great with, others not.

-There, again. l'm sick of this tension.

Niklas isn't trying very hard, either.

-Tell him yourself. He's fourteen.

And why should he be the only one with

his own room? l was asked about that.

By whom?

l really don't want to say .

-Then don't bring it up.

Shall we do something together tomorrow?

Go with Jan. l understand.

You really are making an effort.

l wanted to stay in for a day anyway .

What about the afternoon? l'd like

to do something. Just the two of us.

l'll quit early and then we can meet.

lf that's what you want.

ln the caf in Auffach? Around 4:00?

Bring my shoes along

and we'll go somewhere.

Maybe eat out for a change.

And, what do you say?

Fine.

lt's not asking too much

for you to participate a bit.

l expect the same from Lars,

and he's eleven. You're fourteen.

l want to talk to my mum, not you.

You won't get

any special treatment from me, pal.

l want us to get along, but l'll

treat you like a fourteen-year-old.

Want to come with Lars and me

tomorrow to get milk from the farm?

Maybe that's not so exciting at his age.

l'll come along.

-You will? l'm glad.

You get along well with kids, huh?

-Yeah, l enjoy it.

That's not to be taken for granted, some

teachers at my school are pretty scary .

How's your teacher training going?

oh, pretty good.

Well, then, good luck.

See you later.

-okay.

Hello. All alone?

l need that sometimes.

-l'll be gone in a second.

l just forgot my glasses.

-No rush.

on the other hand...

A day here might be nice for a change.

Now l won't be such a menace to society .

But you're a fearless skier, l noticed.

l had a little crash yesterday .

Michael says it's my blunt edges,

but l think it's just me.

Everyone has the edges they deserve.

okay, l'm off.

lngo, do you have a problem with my son?

-What?

No, l didn't have any dealings with him.

-Good.

Why do you ask?

oh, never mind.

Afew people had trouble with him, and

as he made a stupid remark about you...

Whatever.

-What did he say?

Never mind. He has his own perspective

on couples. And certain men.

l don't see you that way at all.

-What way?

Don't take what he says seriously .

-okay, but what does he say?

He thinks you're the kind of loser

l always go out with.

He doesn't think much of Lutz, either .

-Why not?
