Yella

Hop in, Yella.

I'll give you a lift.

Come on, Yella.

No, Yella, I'll keep my distance. OK?

Let's just talk a bit.

You got a job!

Must be a good one, a really good one!

l can tell.

By the way you walk.

''Pedestrians please use other side.''

it says so there.

So l have to come over to you, right?

in Stendal, remember?

After your great lecture

at the association.

You walked just like that.

We crossed the fields

and you took off your shoes.

We just walked along the river.

Yella, l miss you so...

You can go back.

This relationship is over.

is my father there?

Ben is looking for you.

He even hangs around out the front.

l got the job, Papa.

Starting when?

in two days.

I'm leaving early tomorrow.

I've rented a room, in a hotel.

Until I've passed the trial phase.

Then I'll get a real place.

it's a good company, Papa.

They make steering modules for Airbus.

Also it's not so far away.

Just two hours.

Yella.

Yella, get up.

This is for you.

l don't need it, Papa.

I'm making money.

But you have to pass the trial period.

l get paid even for that.

The taxi.

Yella, Mr Fichte.

Can l take you to the station?

Just to the station.

- When does your train leave?

- 16 minutes past the hour.

Hanover?

What kind of job is it?

This isn't the way to the station, Ben.

Just a short, sentimental detour.

l thought you'd like to see

our house and the company.

I'd like to get to the station, Ben.

What did we pay for the accounting

software? The network, the computers?

Was it 70,000 or 80,000?

Do you remember?

Yesterday they did an estimate.

it's worth 2,000.

And the stuff isn't even a year old.

Guess where I'm going soon.

To Brunner.

l calculated everything.

Here, take a look.

l need 25,000.

Then l can calm down Lindemann

and pay the wages.

Dr Strtz said the airport plans

will be certified in two weeks.

Heating and climate control systems

will have a volume of 300,000.

And the contract...

At least take a look.

At least take a look!

l want you to stay with me.

it will be just like old times.

Things will be good again.

You'll make out fine, Ben.

''You'll make out fine, Ben''?

Listen how you talk to me.

Like a therapist or what?

''You'll make out fine, Ben''.

- I'd like to get out, Ben.

- ''I'd like to get out, Ben.''

Sure, when there's no money left,

then pretty Yella wants out.

She goes to Hanover, applies for a job,

shows off her pretty legs.

And stupid Ben, he sits at home

on his rubbish heap

and gets a measly

Stop here!

Please stop right here!

l want to get out, Ben.

I'm sorry.

l won't say another word.

l love you, Yella.

Ben!

Ha-ha, tricked you.

- You reserved for six weeks?

- Yes.

But you haven't made a deposit.

You didn't ask for one.

- l didn't ask for one?

- Or your co-worker.

The co-worker made a mistake.

I'm sorry, this card doesn't work.

Do you have a credit card?

Could l give you my ID?

I'll sort it out tomorrow,

l just need to get some sleep.

Everything's fine,

don't worry about a thing.

Thanks for the money, Papa.

I'll give it back to you soon.

You can call me here.

The number is 051 1 ...

See you soon, Papa. Call me.

Are you interested in balance sheets?

I'm sorry.

it sounded a bit arrogant,

''Are you interested in balance sheets''?

Yes.

l am interested in balance sheets.

English?

Business English.

What are you doing here?

l live here. At the hotel, temporarily.

Trial phase?

Where are you starting work?

Alpha Wings.

They're still hiring?

Who hired you?

Schmitt-Ott?

Good luck for tomorrow.

Yella!

Wait a sec, Gerd.

Yella, can you run up

and get some papers from my office?

in my desk, upper left drawer,

a small pigskin portfolio.

You're an angel.

So, Gerd, I'm back...

- What are you doing here?

- How's that?

l asked, what you're doing here!

Dr.Schmitt-Ott asked me

to get something.

Dr.Schmitt-Ott is not allowed

on the premises, please leave.

Hello? Hello.

l said nobody is allowed to enter.

What are you doing down there?

Go and get Christian for me.

He has to seal this place off.

Yella!

- Did you get the portfolio?

- Yes.

Schmitt-Ott here,

l need a car at the Expo grounds.

''Rue de Paris'' on the corner

of ''Sydney Garden''.

- Where is your car?

- it was a company car.

Can l have the portfolio?

What about my job?

l can arrange something

for you in Hamburg.

The portfolio.

What kind of job is it?

The job in Hamburg.

What kind of job was it

supposed to be here?

What did you apply for?

Accountant.

Well good, then accounting.

What starting salary did we agree on?

Two and half, three? Or...

Can l have the portfolio now?

Seems like someone

got there before me.

No, no I'm not accusing you.

Not you.

Ever eat oysters at 11 in the morning?

- Where can we get some oysters?

- At the Frstenmhle.

Then we're going to the Frstenmhle.

They have nice rooms there too.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello?

l need someone to accompany me

to a meeting.

Someone who knows

about balance sheets.

They have new injection pumps.

Tested them in the lab.

Almost sure to get the patent

and now they want to go into production.

Their deal with a French motor

manufacturer isn't solid yet.

They need to go into production now,

for that they need money.

How much do they need?

And how much do you want?

interest?

Equity.

l want to set the rules

for the negotiation.

You can look in three directions.

First, at the opposing party

and not at the lawyer but at Dr Fritz,

the business manager.

The guy is an engineer, a developer.

He hates three things -

money, negotiations, chatter.

When he sits back, gaze at him calmly.

When he looks back, hold your gaze

for two or three seconds.

Then look again at your screen.

The second direction is your screen.

- Why?

- On the screen are the balance sheets

and they show why he can't

get a normal loan anymore.

I'd like to remind him of that

now and then.

And the third direction?

Do you know ''broker posing''?

Like young lawyers

in lousy Grisham films.

l don't like to sit this way

at negotiations but it has an effect.

lf l do the broker pose, then lean over

and whisper something to me.

What?

Doesn't matter, anything.

Like those court scenes,

when someone slips the lawyer a note

and right away

he whispers to someone.

Everyone wants to know what was on

the note. They lose their concentration.

Put these on, please.

No, they won't do at all.

in July

we'll mount them on Formula One cars.

- Sorry. How many?

- Three to start.

Peter, it's important that

it won't be a bulky lab model

but a device that is a real product.

Pierre Sombart agreed to fit three cars

with components for the first race.

Then to push to install them

in the 609-series in September.

The volume of the new 609-series

will be 12,000 units.

it was Pierre's idea to refit

the older 608 models.

That would make 9,000 units.

lf it works.

it's important for me that you say,

''l believe in this plan.''

We aren't just talking about numbers...
