Under the Bridges Page #5

---

Well, yes. Otherwise it"d be simple.

I didn"t like him at all at first.

Well...

At least he sent you a card.

He didnt write to me. I found out

he"s coming from Sell & Reeser.

Could I have a sandwich now?

Aspic?

No, liverwurst,

Shut up, Tobi!

Forget about it, Tobi.

It's just my dear friend Willi.

Cant your stupid mutt shut up?

It's disgusting with animals onboard.

The mess!

The dog is housetrained.

He only goes in the sand box.

Then he can stay.

I bet you taught him some tricks.

Get the cat!

The evenings are getting cold.

Shell just have to freeze.

Why? Doesnt she have any coal?

Sure she has coal.

Then why should she freeze?

No one to bring up the coals,

I always got the oven going for her.

But today...

She doesnt care about me.

Not about me.

Here.

The small one"s for the coal cellar.

Well then...

So you knew all along?

You left me on land working the crane for three months!

- No, no. Tobi...

You left me sitting on the crane,

spinning in circles!

No I didnt. I didnt disappear from

the barge without a trace, Not me.

Anyway... going round and "round...

That's not for me."

It's better if I stay onboard.

L "ll sleep in the bow." Night.

What now?

You dont want her anymore?

I tell you,

the bread rolls in Rotterdam are...

Dont, the boyll do it.

Scandalous,

teaching the boy songs like that.

Oh my goodness, where did

you get him?

He adopted me.

Hes really crazy, Tobi, get the cat!

Did the "Lieselotte" come in today?

Yes. At noon. Come on, Tobi!

He"s nice.

Yes he is, His name"s Tobi.

- Do you want him?

- Me?

You'd have something to take care of.

It helps.

I know how it is to care

about someone who doesn"t care back.

Its not good.

You want to give him to me

because you think I'm sad. How nice.

Aren"t you sad?

Pity he didn't have time today.

You really think hell come tomorrow?

Why not?

You see, its like this...

He might. He has a lot to do

at Sell & Reeser and so on.

But one thing I know for sure:

The girls in Rotterdam.,.

Left him cold.

- Really? - Yes.

He really cares about you.

Hey, listen...

But he"s a really great guy, Hendrik.

You still have my keys.

I dont get it.

You say he never said it,

How do you know he likes you?

There must have been something.

Yes, there was.

What was it?

Before he left, he...

We had a fight,

- A fight?

- Yes.

Listen, Miss Altmann...,

I don't think Hendrik is coming.

Someone"s at my place!

Now, damn it, I have to know...

No, I cant tell you!

Nonsense! You didnt have anyone to take care of you!

- How, .,

l"ve been thinking about it for

3 months and I have to get it out!

Homesick. Depressed.

Fall for the first guy you meet...

Painting. Depressed afterwards,

then you want to jump in the water.

- Am I right?

- No... yes.

So I wasn"t mistaken, that time on the bridge?

- No.

Now I know for sure. A guy always has to look out for you!

- Yes.

But the barge is small. You can"t get into too much trouble.

- No.

- L"ll take care of you.

- Yes.

Now lm here,

and I dont have a present for you.

I brought you a little

Spitzhund from Rotterdam.

But hes gone.

Silly mutt, must have fallen in.

A little fur ball? Willi gave me one, too!

Willi?

Hes downstairs with the dog.

All white. He's coming up.

Come on, Tobi.

Now the barge is ours.

Hurry up with your packing!

The new boatman"s coming at four.

You can"t wait, can you?

The one who gets her has to leave.

Yes.

My good nature is gone for good!

Dont forget the bobble curtains.

Motor! What a laugh...

Shut your yap, I say!

Mouth, mouth!

Go climb the freight crane,

there"s your motor!

Round and round like a carousel.

A fine thing for a bargee!

The dog"s not going!

He"s staying here...

Do you understand?

The dog stays here!

So the dog stays.

Now weve cleared that up.

Out of my way.

Get out of my way!

So you"re really going to do it:

Leave me alone on the barge.

With this mutt!

L"ll move out of the cabin...

l"ll go up in the bow.

Willi, youre really making a scene!

I feel terrible.

Dont make such a fuss.

Terribly terrible!

I thought it wouldn"t work out with you.

Work out what?

Anna is up in the bow already.

I was only moving my things.

And I thought the good times

were over on the barge!

Willi, it"ll be a great life!

Us two, the barge, and Anna.

Hello, "Lieselotte!"

Hello, "'Lieselotte!"

What do you mean, '"Lieselotte"'?

Oh, right!

Morning, Peters!

Morning! Ready to be towed?

Tie on the others first.

Willi, he just went...

went to get fresh bread rolls!
