They've Got Knut Page #5

---

Really? No, l had no idea.

There's no phone here, after all.

You should apologize to Wolfgang.

He hasn't had a bit of fun up to now .

What, Wolfgang? Because of me?

l have six months more

of teacher training,

and then another six to get my degree.

-Are you in middle school?

Actually, l'm a primary school teacher.

lsn't there a recorder somewhere?

-Should be in there somewhere.

How are you getting on?

-No problem.

l won't stay there forever .

But l can read at work.

What are you embarrassed for?

You were pretty normal during this.

l'm just amazed Knut's so inconsiderate.

l'm used to a lot, but...

lt's no one's fault.

l'm just glad it's over now.

This is really a cool surprise.

l thought you didn't ski?

lt's a long story.

Could you leave us alone for a minute?

But we'll dance in a minute, okay?

Thank you.

With me, you're safe from him.

Not your kind of music, huh?

-What makes you say that? l like it.

Can l ask you a question?

-Sure.

Nadia said you have a good feel for

language. lt's what you studied, right?

Afeel for language?

That could mean many things.

Yeah. Well, maybe this is a stretch,

but l have a band back home,

and l recently started writing lyrics.

our singer did it up to now.

Actually, l don't really know much

about that kind of thing.

Sure, they're not art, but l wondered

if you could take a look at them.

l see.

Well, l don't know

how much of a help l'd be, but...

l'd be interested in your opinion.

Do you have any beer left?

-Sure.

Want some?

-Thanks.

Let's play something later.

-Sure. Any ideas?

Something ''unplugged.''

-okay.

lngo, come on!

Dance with us!

Look at Wolfgang go!

lt's like they're

on a completely different planet.

What they say is total bullshit!

They don't want to face the world.

They run away. That really gets me!

Trying to please them is stupid.

lt doesn't get you anywhere, you know?

But l'm still fond of my mother.

-oh, please!

That's not the issue.

The issue is what you want, you know?

Constantly worrying about

what your parents want is so...

But...

-No!

l'm so glad you're free again.

-Yeah.

Really glad.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, Lutz! Had breakfast yet?

-No, l want to hit the slopes.

Are the others still around?

-Asleep. They're not going out today.

Keep it down!

-Time for breakfast!

You bastard!

Are those Jan's?

You're the first one he's shown them to.

He must trust you.

More like he trusts you.

You recommended me.

l don't know if you're allowed to see.

-l'll take the blame.

What do you think of them?

Not bad.

Aren't they a little naive?

That's not mutually exclusive.

Lyrics have to be simple.

Are you saying that for me?

You can't imagine l say anything

without ulterior motives, huh?

True.

But... l kind of like that awkwardness.

Like Jan's lyrics?

No, that's different.

Whose awkwardness do you like more?

lt upset us that

we were the only ones wondering

about the implications of the arrest,

both personal and political.

But if you mix up the two,

you get pulled into private battles.

When l see what Silvia went through,

then l don't care if...

on a personal level, l'm very grateful

for how you helped Silvia.

She was incredibly strong. l don't know

if l could've done what she did.

That's hard to compare, l think.

-Why?

For example, l doubt the erotic aspect

of my arrest would interest you.

Quit blabbing! We're hungry.

-We're working on it.

You'd reduce your girlfriend to that?

-Let's return to the issue.

l still don't get how you can shrug of f

your arrest as ''these things happen.''

Hey.

Are you mad at me?

'Cause of the cows?

Why are you such an idiot?

l don't know.

At least you're not as dumb as your dad.

-He's not as dumb as he seems.

He's exactly that dumb. That's why

l don't want them to have a kid.

Do you think they want to?

-l don't know.

How come you're such a good skier?

Let's work out.

No pistachios?

-No. We're going to work out.

Down!

And one...

Chin to the ground, go on.

And two...

l read your lyrics.

oh, no, you shouldn't have.

How embarrassing.

l didn't see the song for Knut.

-There isn't one.

l know you were working on one.

-Stop it, you're embarrassing me.

Will you play it for me?

-lt's even worse than the others.

That's why l want to hear it.

lf they hadn't let Knut go,

you would've played it.

You know what's weird?

l probably shouldn't say this,

you might get me wrong, but...

l'm happy Knut's here and all,

but when he was far away,

he forged this bond between us.

Yeah.

Now that's no longer necessary.

And you think that's unfortunate?

As l said, l'm glad Knut's here.

'Cause l do think it's unfortunate.

lt was nice.

But it's not necessary anymore.

So it's not there anymore?

l don't know, maybe.

With you?

Maybe we shouldn't do this.

okay. l just thought you...

Sure, l want it too.

-But?

'Cause of lngo?

-Yeah.

l understand.

l really like you a lot.

Ten... eleven...

Twelve...

Thirteen...

oh, boy.

Hey, that'll give you muscles.

And now, some arm-wrestling.

-Some other time.

But you promised.

Shall we arm-wrestle, Lars?

or, since we're in Austria,

maybe we should finger-wrestle.

Actually, l have another suggestion.

How about building an igloo tomorrow,

by the edge of the woods?

Excellent.

Thanks.

ls one enough?

Do your feet smell?

You don't like it?

Too much fat?

Can you pass the bread?

All the taste is in the fat.

ls something wrong?

-No, why?

Could you pass the wine?

Come on, what's wrong?

l'm tired.

Maybe it wasn't

just about Knut all this time?

Why don't you just tell me

what the problem is?

And, how was it?

ls that all you're worried about?

l hoped those days were over ,

and that you agreed.

What days?

What is this thing with Jan?

The grand finale? or do you plan

to go on like that? Because l don't.

The grand finale of what? Us?

lf that's how you see it,

that's remarkable.

l meant of your af fairs, actually.

Jan is the first man l had.

What's that supposed to mean?

l'm not a man, but a joke, or what?

No, l meant l had no other men

during our relationship.

What?

Not one?

You mean you never...

... slept with anyone else?

-Not once.

l mean...

l always assumed you had.

-Yes, l know.

But you never denied it.

So l had to assume you did.

Yeah, maybe.

But l felt weird.

l just wasn't interested. For you,

going to bed with others was normal.

But if you...

Why didn't you ever say anything?

-Maybe it is normal, and l'm not.

Sure you are. You don't have to sleep

around. l don't want to anymore, either .

How was l to know what's right?

And with Jan?

You want to make up for lost time?

-That's not what it's about.

ln his case, you suddenly felt

the desire to sleep with him?

l did, actually.

You should, if that's what you want.

You're entitled to.

Sorry, l know this sounds weird, but...

What does it mean for us?

Do you know what you want from him?

No.

l guess l'm in love with him, a little.
