parents like mine

When I was young,

well, about seventeen...

I bought silk stockings with my

own money

Twenty-two Mark they cost

I wore them on a sunday...

and my father clothed me and ripped

them to bits

I wouldn't have stood for that

Things were different then,

he would have taught you

What a business

It would've been allright

if no one had seen it

But what's done is done

So why worry?

-Your parents worry

-But I can't live without Franz

I won't give him up

because of father

I'd rather kill myself

That would be the limit, involving

us in all that

Well, it's true

What have we done to deserve this?

Other people's children are different

For heaven's sake don't get pregnant,

that's most important

We're careful

You won't tell father what I've said,

will you

If you do, I won't trust you

and I won't tell you anything

I don't want to know another thing

He's not going to like it, everything

is beginning all over again

I want a simple family life,

like other people

Father is neglecting things, he shouldn't

have to worry about you so much

He should be putting his mind to

other things

Mama, why are you crying?

Why shouldn't I cry?

If they pick Bermeier up...

...then we'll have peace

Why did they release him before

his time was up?

Every lout gets parole today

Under Hitler he would have had a

lesson in a concentration camp

Why do you go on about the Nazis?

He was released for good conduct

Because there are no women in prison

They should be castrated,

cut it away

And that's that

But now we haven't a regime,

we have a government

They can't even protect children

The Nazis had their faults too

They gassed the Jews, that was wrong...

but rather 100,000 gassed Jews, than

pig mugging about with my daughter

We needn't blame ourselves

Johansser has three sons and a

daughter, how do they manage?

Compared with them Hanni lives

like a princess

Yet, they are decent

Don't get worked up, it's no use

Our own flesh and blood ruining us

She's got no decent morals

Well, I am expecting

It may be late

I told you

I've had a test, I am pregnant

It costs ten Mark

-We'll get an abortion

-By whom?

We'll find a doctor, just take a

morning off school

I'd have to take a note

It's that or a child

Have you got a thousand Mark?

Why thousand?

I heard it costs a thousand

Six hundred

I can raise that

The trouble is, you're so young

I look older

You don't...

You look fourteen

You said yourself that I looked

older

A doctor can tell how old you are

He'll have you taken home by

the police

-Shut up then, if it's impossible

-We needn't argue over it

Something must happen before its

noticeable

When father sees, he'll kill us

I know

We must think of something

-Undressing?

-Why not, it doesn't matter now

We must make the most of our time

I will think of something

Don't throw my coat on the floor!

That coat will have to be returned

It's not yours

A gift is a gift

It's Herr Bermeier's

We don't need his presents

Because you envy me

That coat is whore's pay

Such language before the child!

I don't want that coat here

Keep it, and it's all you leave with!

You own nothing here

You're behaving badly Hanni

She made her bed, and she must lie

in it

-I pay for everything here

-But not the coat

-That's mean!

Go to your room, it's time

to go to sleep

I won't get rid of the coat

She's still a child

It's not my idea of a child

That's your upbringing

Why didn't you take it away from her?

What a bloody mess

We need somewhere to live

Come down to earth

Forget it

I can't do a thing, because of my

parents and the child

I'm edgy

It's no wonder

This is no way to live

No, because the child will arrive

before long

How long has it been?

Can't you count up to three?

It doesn't show

Just be patient

But it autumn, you'll be back

in prison

Shut up about that

And you are stupid

If I would have a revolver, or

a rifle...

I'd go up to him and say: "Stop

interfering with our love, or else..."

Would you say that?

He would agree, then go straight

around to the police

Then you'll see what they do when

they've got you trapped

I haven't a gun anyway

That's no problem, you can

buy one

You need a licence

Not always

-You need to be twenty-one

-You needn't

Nonsense

I promise, I get you a gun

You won't manage it

Do you know what he is?

An unskilled worker

His father cuts peat for a farmer,

at Dachau

Just as I thought

He hasn't got a room of his own,

he sleeps in lodgings

I haven't invested fourteen years

of money in the kid for that

If it was a decent young man from a

family like ours...

I'd say:
"Hanni is still a child, but the

future is to come"

We were young ourselves once...

but without money there's no love

and without a trade,

there is no wive

Especially when it's my daughter

We have bad luck

First, he does time

Then, when he comes out, he acted

though nothing had happened

That's fanaticism, he must be

doing it deliberately

Or he is sick

I don't understand it

I couldn't do such a thing

That's the youth of today

And what were we? We had no youth

They called us up in '39

On my birthday we were in

retreat

Nothing to eat, no proper clothes...

A couple of lousy anti-tank weapons,

20 degrees of frost...

At night we hurdled up in "winter-aid"

blankets

...but shivered as though we

were naked

We weren't youths, we were soldiers

Are you asleep?

Yes, but I'm listening

Better go to sleep

Those times were different, there's

no comparison

Still, we are decent civilians

Times have changed

According to the papers, they print

all sorts of glums on...

All you need is money, and I

haven't got it

If Hanni goes on like this, the

future looks black to me

It would be no problem for a

film star

But an unskilled workman can't

cope with it on his money

That's how it is

I always think; times have changed,

when I can't make things out

But we won't live to see

different times

Neither will Hanni

We must think things out

Hanni won't grow up like

other people

In five years she'll blame us

for everything...

...that she has no normal future

At the moment she's not interested

in a thing

But that'll change

Do you think she'll stick to him?

It is not love, it's nothing but

sexuality

We have to bridle it, and see its

kept in proportion

Where did you get it?

I bought it

You stole it

Bought it, I said

Give it to me

What will you do with it?

Nothing

That's not why I bought it

-What did you buy it for?

-Nothing

Give it, when your father finds

it he'll hit you, like over the coat

He'll never find it, I hide it

What's it for?

To shoot a dog?

Why a dog? No dog is hurting me

-What then?

-Nobody

What are you on about then?

What did I say?

You talk nonsense, give it to me

Take it

Look at it, or are you afraid?

I want you to screw me

With my parents in the next room,

I'm longing for it

You know what my mom said
