No, here is' it.

And the business section,

are they in here?

- If you put them in, yes.

- In here? No.

Yesterday, I did them

They were here. On top.

Someone is always messing

up the papers.

I don't want someone taking

things away without asking me.

In 3 weeks mother has

Here. Monday.

And when is her birthday?

In 3 weeks.

Do we have to go?

Of course. Remember, you have a family.

During the day the man goes

hunting with his club,

and the family has to

sit in the cave and wait.

Your club.

How's it going in

the shipping department?

My God, how time flies!

And the work is fun?

- Yes, yes.

- What is actually

happend with the little

Mr. Thingens?

What was his name,

the pale? Hmmm…

It is on the tip of my tongue

but could not get it out.

- Mr. Wiese?

- No.

Is is a lot easier to

remember things from the past.

Um, I know it. Um…

- will arrive tomorrow at 11.

- Mail?

- On your desk.

Hello? This is Heinrich Lohse

from the German Tubes Inc.

Yes, äh. Now we deliver

the boiler pipes,

compression pipes, rain pipes,

extension pipes,

pipes for heater and water…

Pardon?

Ah. Please?

Oh, sorry. I'm so…

Then I dialed the…

Yes, I see.

Excuse me, please.

Mr. Lohse?

There is a delivery

- waiting for you.

- I'm coming.

Yes, that's the office paper.

Let me go through only once.

I still have one package.

Because you do not have

an overview.

Purchasing sheet by sheet,

commercially can not be justified.

If we do large scale purchases,

the price drops at 500,000

sheets by 35% and so on.

What is this?

That are erasers.

Would you sign please?

The General Director awaits you.

- Why?

- I don't know.

Oh, and make sure

that it will be cleaned up.

My dear Mr. Lohse.

Please sit down.

Cigar?

Oh, thank you very much.

Do you have purchased paper

for our office?

Typewriter paper.

Yes. With a saving

of over 50%.

Also probably a bit in advance?

Yes. For approximately 40 years,

at an average rate…

And, uh, health

is everything ok?

Oh yes, thank you.

You have married quite late

- And have a small child.

- Well, small…

- Doe it speaks already?

- My son is 16. He speaks.

- What does he say so?

- What? What does he say?

Well, how…

How does he call you now?

- Papa.

- Charming, quite charming.

You should spend more time

with the boy.

- Yes, yes.

- Mr., uh, Lohse,

I consider as my duty to

respect the private life

of my closest colleagues…

Since when?

Dear Mr. Lohse, the German

Tubes Inc owes you thanks.

I mean, it's time

that we together

think about, uh…

How would you …, uh…

benefit from

well-deserved…

the fruits of your well-deserved

retirement.

- What are you saying?

- Thank you.

Stay at your seat,

Mr. Chairman.

For 37 years I work here.

From a small, lousy dump…

we made a big one…

I mean, what we are today.

And it is not up to you…

- I do not wish that you…

- If I may say so,

Go ahead.

Moment!

I'm listening.

Wait, I'm catching up.

The thing with the dump you

have already said.

Ähhh… yes! This is what I wanted to say!

I decide when I'm sick and tired

of your tubes.

I already know when!

Now!

My God!

You frightened me!

I live here.

But not now, at this time.

And I have a surprise for you.

Good day, my boy.

Where do you come from?

Dieter!

So, I eat now.

So! Excuse me.

I just have…

So, I want to…

Put away the magazine.

Dieter!

So, I have indeed

good news for you.

- As of today…

- Are you taking any Brussels sprouts?

Thank you, yes.

I have, a surprise.

It's no fun to cook for you.

- I have a surprise.

- A surprise?

From tomorrow I am fully

available for my family.

But you can still go on eating

My company, so

General Director Blume and I,

We have, eh, to, uh…

are, agreed to

I mean that my labor…

lesser in the future…

rather not at all…

to focus at the company.

And my experience

more to my… my home…

and, uhm, the well-being… Thus,

for the good of my family…

dedicates… dedicate… devote.

Now, eat

so it is not getting cold.

What are you saying?

There is a new activity,

targeted more for private…

What does that mean?

I am retired.

Then I get the dessert.

I'd chucked it all.

So from now you are always

the whole morning at home?

Yes. And in the afternoons.

And where, what, what do you…

how do you think you…

I think I put my experience

into the houshold

- And the family.

- Oh…

What is this?

Pear Helene.

But this is an apple.

With chocolate sauce.

Then it is not a pear Helene,

but apple Helene.

That does not exist.

An apple is an apple

and a pear is a pear.

If it does not please you,

let it stay,

- But I like it.

- Then eat it.

I eat it, yes. But not

under a false name.

- This is Elizabeth.

- What is it?

This is Elizabeth.

Do you know what I have thought?

Well, what?

Nowadays for a woman it is

no longer so easy

to lead a modern household.

- Are you listening?

- Yeah.

And so I have made up,

to relieve… to discharge

the board… Thus,

Head of the, uh, the, uh,

Now I take the responsibility

on the budget.

Yes, my dear.

Did you say something?

- No.

- Well, good night.

So!

Renate?

Renate!

Lohse.

Hello, Rita!

Uh, what happend?

No, no, it can wait.

It… it is alright.

But later I have to talk to you.

Yes.

No, you first have to tell.

Yes. No, at the moment

it is not so…

Don't get disturbed.

Finish your call.

You know .. you, uh, I…

Um, I wanted…

But it is not so…

It, uh, it also has

time til tomorrow.

Yes, then…

I'll call you, uh…

Yes.

I'll call you again later on.

What is this?

These are the things

for the clothing donation.

My winter coat? Well, listen!

You keep it since

we met each other.

The coat is still perfect!

I wanted it for Dieter to wear!

He will be happy,

when he inherits Dad's coat.

- Renate!

- He will be overhappy for joy.

Why do you always throw

all my things away?

The dog would have to go out any time soon.

Darling, this is no answer

to my question.

And the dog may go out,

when I think it is time.

Wutz!

Wutz, you've to come

with your master now!

Wutz, here is your master!

- Good morning, Mr. Lohse.

- Good morning.

Wutz! Here is the master!

Stupid Dog.

Well? Did he made some business?

He had, ah so,

could not see it so accurate.

- I go shopping now.

- No. Give it to me.

- I think it's really nice…

- We had this discussed already.

That falls into my work area.

But you do not even know what I…

Your husband was 17 years

Director of the Purchasing Department.

I've placed the cans over here.

- What do you want? What cans?

- I would like…

2 fish balls and a jucy gulasch.

You haven't placed it there.

Yes, please?

- A caraway cheese.

- Otherwise, they would have to stand there.

My name is Lohse.

I do shopping here.

But I placed them next

to the potato salad.

- Then they got picked up. Yes?

- A caraway cheese and tomatoes.

- If they're gone…

- I would like to shop here.

Who would have them picked up?

Yes, please?

- I want to…

- But I was here!

- Then they are somewhere else.

- A caraway cheese, please.

- Otherwise, they would be here.

- Where? Yes?

Well, where you have placed them.

A caraway cheese, please

and 2 pounds of tomatoes.

I always put them here.

What is it you want?

My name is Lohse,

I would like to buy something.

Would also tell me,

what it should be?

I don't like the way you talk to me.

We will not make business.

So, we've got two options.

Either I'll read

as a whole before,

what is on the list,

or we go through one by one.

Please?

So then, a glass of mustard.

1.29

1.29. Does it becomes cheaper

if I take several?

At 10 glasses you save…

60 cents.

That sounds better already.

And at 50?

- Mr. Lohse!

- Oh, Mrs. Mielke!

- Are you not going to office today?

- I, uh, so, uh, no.

Not directly. My work

currently focuses

more on the domestic sphere.

You are retired!

You can… could

also say in that way, yes.

Could you hold me the sack?

Yes, sure, but I must also…

Thank you.

So. Then I have to…

I'd also have a cup of beef soup.

I can warm it up for you.

- Ms. Mielke…

- It would be quite fast.

- Maybe soon.

- This will be kept secret.

My sister is in such matters

is always something…

Although… the thing with her husband

at that time was only gossip.

He died very naturally.

But you do not necessarily…

No, no. So then…

Ha! That's…

Mr. Lohse wanted to ask you.

I said,

- That thou were not there.

- I have to soon…

What did you want to ask me

Mr. Lohse?

Oh, it has time.

I have to my life…

the supply, my life

supplied… first get…

Goodbye.

Brigitte, could you over to me?

Renate!

Renate?

Stop!

Place the back there!

How did you get in?

Through the front door.

- What is your name?

- Kleinert. I clean here.

As you can see,

My name is Lohse.

In future we will work together…

No, uh, discard that.

Homeworks demands

an efficient organization

to be effective.

- Do you have it?

- Yes, Mr. Lohse.

The main principle is this:

"Think first, then act"

This is Ms. Kleinert,

our maid. My wife.

Mrs. Kleinert, we can

do the curtains.

I don't want to be

interrupted now.

I'm in a meeting

with Ms. Kleinert.

It would be very friendly,

if you can push in an appointment for me

after that meeting.

- Um… what was the last item?

- What?

What I have just said.

- "acting. Then acting."

- Yes.

- By the way, Ms., uh…

- Kleinert.

I will help you until your

are worked-in.

I will lead by giving a

a good example.

What was the principle that your

activities were based on?

Yes… I would have made

the beds now.

Wrong. Your role is in the stairwell,

I will make the beds

and you will join me later on.

- Well then!

- Yes.

- Where are the beds?

- That I have to air…

Ms., uh, Kleinert,

our working plan

undergoes a change.

We will go to the garden first.

In unforeseen events

you must adjust to the

new conditions.

Um… best is to remove

the blanket now

from the thing,

the, uh, climbing rose.

Yes, Mr. Lohse.

And stay calm.

We have a very important

Message for you.

Oh?

No, Rita, you have no clue!

Sorry, it has rung.

I'll call you back.

Those are our beds. I just asked

Ms. Kleinert to…

And those are the Glöckners. They

have an important message.

We do not subscribe to magazines.

- Is it about magazines?

- No.

- No.

- No. Would you bring it upstairs?

I can handle it.

Here you are.

Excuse me.

My wife is a little suspicious.

This is not meant personally.

May I offer you something?

According to the calculations

of the internationally recognized

Professor Pirkheimer

Venus, the Moon Tetra

his left orbit

and now racing toward the Earth.

Its impact is imminent.

This means

the end of our planet.

You know, that is a bad timing.

I thought you had…

Only those people who are clean

inside and outside,

have nothing to fear.

This handmade brush

from pure natural bristle

I could handout to you

for just 28.50 Mark.

That is very amiable,

but I think…

For 32 DM, we recommend

this bathing salt.

- No, no.

- Even without cash.

If you want to sign here please?

No, no…

You will receive our

delivery every month

- To account for 2% discount.

- Or the fees

will be withdrawn from your

bank account with 5% discount.

If you do not immediately

decide, it does not matter.

We would then always come over

every Thursday.

Oh? Where do I sign?

The delivery for Lohse.

This is getting bit much to me now.

- But it is your order.

- What? Oh, yes.

you can

put it right here.

- Here?

- Yes, please.

- Bye, boss.

- Goodbye.

What was that message about?

That was a message from

Professor Pirkheimer

because of the impending collision.

It is possible the end,

to the imminent end of

our civilization.

Hopefully, you've nothing signed?

I, um, no. This will be charged

from the bank account.

What is debited?

Um… Brushes.

Root brushes and, uh,

natural bath additive.

A ton of bathing salt?

No. That's mustard. 150 glasses.

Mustard! Well, thank God!

The world is at the end,

but we have mustard,

root brushes and bathing salt.

What happend?

Your father wants to give something.

What?

Oh, yes.

This is my…

that was my best coat.

That mantle I used to date

your mother.

Put it on.

Perfect.

The button can be sewed.

Posh! Turn around.

Fits like a glove.

If my father would had given me

such a coat!

Are you happy? Please, Say!

And the color suits you so well!

That you can wear it at

grandma's birthday.

- Say something!

- Great…

- Look, a squirrel.

- Look, a squirrel!

A squirrel!

I open up my marital problems

and what does my friend say?

Look, a squirrel!

For 17 years I have been

comfortably married.

I had the houshold,

then there was Dieter,

and Heinrich was in his company

throughout the day in good hands.

That has never been disturbed so far.

- But you were complaining

- complaining?

That he never had time.

I did not know how it is like

if he has the time.

Then look for a job.

Couples are only happy,

if one never has time.

I cooked something hot for us.

What's that?

Meatballs from a can.

Königsberg was the capital of…

I know.

- How is your school?

- Fine.

A short while ago you were born.

And now we sit

together at dinner.

At your age I was

very interested in sports.

- For the top athletes.

- Hm hm.

Sit up straight, boy.

Who is…

whom you admire?

- Whom do you find great?

- Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson.

He was boxing champion

light heavyweight.

But then he was beaten by

Eddie Alersmeier in 1952.

For those facts I have a good memory.

What would a boxer do once retiered.

The day after tomorrow Michael Jackson

will give a concert.

Is this the idea!

You, uh, the young lady,

that were there the other day, um…

is it yours, is the, um…

is she in your class?

Hm-hm.

And, uh, if you…

So when you're together,

how, uh, is it so, when you are um…

Look, your mother and I…

we are not by nature, such old,

come up the world at that age.

Um… the important thing is

that you, um…

Especially when you're young

because the body is, uh…

This is quite natural, um…

Thus, the physical, I mean.

Men are… and women

also… Think about it!

Especially because I thing good of you.

Do we understand each other?

Hm-hm.

Nice we have talked about everything.

Women also have their advantages.

Back there my mother

went to school.

Here my brother-in-law lived before.

There though the backyard.

27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 1st, 2nd

Where is the 3?

Where is the 3?

Wo ist der 3?

Please go to the living room.

I'll make the tea.

Oh, Mr. Lohse! Nice,

that we also meet each other.

I'm just trying to get an overview.

Over the existing paper material.

Heinrich! Why can't you do that

another day?

No, with a timely notice I would

have reserved the use of the

living room.

Take a seat.

Let us not be disturbed.

If something gets mixed up,

could I start over again?

- It's chewing gum.

- This was the FRANKFURTER!

What a strong man you

have, Mrs. Lohse!

You don't feel well, Brigitte?

Heinrich, wont you walk the dog?

No. That was not the topic.

Mrs. Bredenbek, I must ask

you to stand up.

You are sitting on the cultural part

of the WORLD.

No, this is not cultural part.

But I had it

put down here somewhere.

Please look for among yourselves.

Maybe someone is sitting on it.

- Please keep…

- I must insist!

Could you help me, Heinrich?

I knew it!

Never mind! I have plenty of time!

Why didn't you throw away

these newspapers?

I did not know that you

and your culture club…

No one will look ever into it again.

How should I get the houshold going…

Let me see you,

if I take the papers…

I want to know

who, when, where drinks coffee!

What kind of impression will it give!

Also, you're also interested, that order…

What actually gotten into you?

This is Püppi.

Waiter?

The do not like us here.

Waiter, could we bring

YOU something?

Waiter?

Madam, Sir, have you made a choice?

Yes, for quite some time.

We would like calf's liver for two.

- This is not recommended.

- Oh, and what else?

Homemade chicken soup, but

I would not advise that also.

And fish?

- Then I'll take the hunter's spear.

- As you wish.

- Do you have Pear Helene?

- Heinrich!

This is our specialty.

We serve natural mark of pears

with vanilla sauce.

Pear Helene is a cooked pear

with vanilla ice cream

and chocolate sauce.

Ours comes with vanilla sauce

and is always recommended.

Your pear is all but

no pear Helene.

- How about the apple pie.

- No, thank you.

So, one hunter's spear.

If I hear Pear Helene again,

I throw myself down

and bite into the carpet!

Oh!

I have imagined your retirement

differently.

This is my first retirement!

I still practice!

I just thought… My God!

Why are men insensitive!

Everyone can hear what you say.

Unfortunately, I don't understand

you at all.

- Hunter's spear for one.

- Thank you very much.

You should start eating right now,

it is not very hot.

- And mine?

- You did not order anything.

- Then I'll take the chicken soup.

- Chicken soup.

Give it here, I'll do it.

Maybe you can let me do

a least something on my own!

Please, please!

I said nothing.

Order yourself a hunter's spear.

This is mine.

It is on my side of the table.

Have you ever seen it,

how it looks, when you do so?

What do I do?

- When I do that?

- Always.

Here, you have done it 3 times already.

Then it is a lovley tick.

You know, what are you doing?

- What?

- That.

May I clear up?

No, we're not yet done.

- Should I vanish into thin air?

- It would be quite fabulous,

If his Lordship, Director Lohse

would have left the Director

at the company

- and comes here just as Mr. Lohse.

- Just Mr. Lohse? "Just"?

I'm Heinrich Lohse,

happily married, ha-ha!

With one child and fixed income.

What do you mean by "just"?

I wish only that we do

not sit in your company

but you at our home

quiet and peacefully.

- Old and fat!

- That would not be the worst.

I will put in more effort.

Excuse me, my name is Drögel.

I was inadvertently witness of

your conversation.

- I am in a hurry.

- I like the way you…

It is rare that ladies, tells a men

directly sometimes to…

Excuse me, but…

We are a well-known

Confectionery company

the company Riegel and Klotz,

formerly Seidemann, Bielefeld.

Well, um, yes, yes.

We are looking for ladies

who feel joy in their work.

May I offer you my card?

Excuse me.

I had it in my hand

the whole time already.

Thank you very much.

I would be happy

to hear from you.

One chicken soup.

- Heinrich?

- No fear. Everything alright.

I do not make beds,

Don't buy a anything

and only go up the stairs

and perhaps back down.

- If I may!

- Come here.

Sorry, Heinrich.

So it was not meant in that way.

I know, this is all not easy

for you too.

I should have given you

more help.

- What happend?

- You could be here with us

with your family

and have your own domain.

- Aha!

- Only for you.

Where you never…

where no one bothers you,

also times where you can be loud.

Loud?

Where you can be as you want.

If we keep a little order…

That could be but very…

That could be quite comfortable.

For DIY or something.

And here, this we take away.

Then you have room for models.

- Hm ..

- Models… or something.

Are there in every cellar

men in retirement?

Here you also have light…

and water…

Well, what do you mean?

Could I still stay on the surface?

The Mielke-sisters

will come soon.

They'll pick me up.

Oh, Mrs. Lohse!

I did not know,

that your husband is home!

Would you like to say hello?

Nope. I stay here lying

very quiet and peacefully.

Coffee in a thermos flask,

Sausage sandwiches in the fridge.

Are you listening?

I got your point!

- Good day, Ms. Mielke.

- Good day, Mrs. Lohse!

Ach, Frau Lohse! I didn't know,

that your husband is home!

Day, Mrs. Mielke!

Nice of you again…

- Are you sick?

- My husband has

just a bit stretched out.

Have time off times.

Very reasonable.

Not quite true,

Mrs. Mielke.

I am retired.

Mr. Lohse is retired!

We really did not know.

- Why don't you come with us?

- Yes, why not?

No, no…

We need more men for

our cultural events.

This is really very kind,

But my wife said,

I should once…

My husband does not like poetry readings.

- That's really something new!

- We have discussed,

that you wanted to stay home.

Well, he still could!

Mr. Lohse!

Well, I'll quickly

wear something.

Ladies and gentlemen.

For the second time in this year

we come together

for an event of our

cultural group.

This afternoon is devoted

to contemporary literature.

We are very lucky that

the most important representative,

living representative,

the most important, most lived,

So, still living representative

of modern poetry agreed,

here with us

to read from his work.

A man who has made

literary history

a name, the worldwide known:

- Lothar Frohlein.

- Frohwein.

Frohwein.

I shall begin to read 22 poems

from the series "farewell".

- Then…

- A little louder, please!

Eight ballads from my

early period,

followed by the sonnets collection

"The 12 months".

Afterwards Chapter 3

from the novel "Pedokles"

and finally

a tragedy in three acts

with the title:

"Goethe in Halberstadt.

Then we will have the opportunity

to talk.

Melosine…

Is that part of your lecture?

A piece of sugar would always help me.

- He should hold his breath.

- What do you think?

We have to scare him.

Or ask something, that distracts him.

Shh!

Excuse me, may I interrupt you.

Heinrich!

What did you eat

yesterday evening?

Um… turnips

Steamed turnips

fish sticks

and… Tartar sauce.

Melosine…

Krawehl, krawehl!

Taubtrüber Ginst at Musenhain!

Trübtauber Hain on Musenginst!

Krawehl, krawehl!

Before I was thinking, that

we live parallel to each other.

You've already told 3 times.

I told him what I think

and I thought

he would have understood!

He throws no more beds

out the window, no!

Now he is discussing with

Lothar Frohlein!

- One sausage for the lady.

- Thank you very much.

Perhaps there is also

something else than men.

What do you mean?

Don't let you get mad.

Let's do it, what they want.

There are such beautiful meh…

uh, more… options

Compared to women

men are really not interesting.

Just ignore him.

Ha!

Did I catch you,

my darling! Haha!

- That was quite a brilliant move.

- Thank you! Good Day, Rita.

I thought to myself - I know,

that you're in town -

it would be great if we

meet somewhere. By chance.

I also do not disturb.

So think as I would not even be there.

- Do you have a wish?

- A pot of coffee.

- A coffee.

- Do you know who is sitting there?

Where?

Over there! The lady with the bright

Hat. This is Lisbeth!

- Lisbeth Prenzler!

- Heinrich!

Well, chunky bit?

Come on, put on your glasses!

It's me! Heinrich Lohse!

How are you? Got a little bit

sized-up. Suits you, however.

- Is your husband here?

- I am not married.

We had visited you in Hamburg before!

I live in Würzburg.

For 36 years.

No. Your son studied in Hamburg

and lived with you.

- I have no son.

- Of course you have, Lisbeth!

My name is Käthe.

Oh…

Käthe…

You know, I'll have to leave now.

I'll call you.

So, I would not have recognized

Lisbeth. How is she?

Good. She lives in

Würzburg now. Where's Rita?

She had to go.

I have to hurry too.

Probably you have something planned too.

Yes. But if you would ask me

I would go with you.

As a caring husband.

As a little mouse.

So! So…

What do you want to buy?

Just look around a bit first.

Just look around… And where

do we look around first?

That's interesting.

Look!

These are these tube systems.

We have sold a lot to Mexico.

And to Cuba.

I did not know,

that we exhibit here.

The whole system works

without backwater valves.

Interesting, right?

The rear opening should

be for the overflow.

It is hard to recognize.

But, yes! From here

you could see it.

Very interesting shopping tour.

Renate?

When are we going home?

For mother's birthday I need

another pair of shoes.

We have just bought shoes.

The brown one with pimples.

- That was six years ago.

- Yes, exactly.

Why do you not try some

black underwear?

- What?

- Yes?

Want look around much longer?

I don't push you.

Take your time.

How long… How long

do you think because, I mean…

until you have seen everything?

Of course relaxed.

- You know ..

- I don't push you, not at all.

I just wanted to know,

how long it would last.

- Roughly.

- Just one moment.

- What are you looking for?

- I don't know.

You don't know what you're looking for?

So, I now have seen everything

and now I know

that here, that I really don't

know

- What you are still here for…

- Why are you so impatient?

Well, listen!

In 45 minutes I have,

well, let's say

seen 2000 blouses,

shirts and pants.

This is more than in

the 59 years before.

I thought, I should prepare

to stay overnight.

- What's Up?

- Nothing at all.

- Wanted to drive?

- No, no, you drive.

Was it nice afterall, that together

we have purchased something.

Too nice.

Did you see that?

He came from the right!

No, I do not see anything.

I can't see anything!

I always close my eyes, because

of the traffic that makes me nervous.

But drive a little bit slower

and stay on your lane.

I drive exactly 50 km/h.

See? I knew it!

No, no, no!

- What happend?

- You drive!

Then we come home safely,

harmoniously and without a crisis.

My name is Lohse. My wife

and I only exchange seats.

There were discrepancies

because of the driving style.

I thought it would be better to

let my husband drive.

In my position You would have

decided the same.

We will continue quite soon.

Here it is!

"The Mini Piffi 4

"was manufactured

with all new gear

"and thoroughly tested

before leaving the factory.

"The Mini Piffi 4

mixes fast and easily…"

Isn't there a japanese explanation?

Moment… I see.

Give it to me and sit down

in the living room.

Times and please do nothing.

Oh, sorry!

I haven't seen you.

Well…

- Please sit down!

- Mr. Lohse!

Well, 'n sip in between?

Here you are.

Do you clean your home?

Or does it .. Do you have…

a clean… a cleaning… help?

My wife don't let me help out anymore.

But I help her after all.

You can, but I may not.

She does not like my help.

That is probably just

a matter of communication.

That is probably a matter with

her gender.

This is the old hatred

of the sexes.

This is it. When I get home

see my husband sitting there…

A certain reluctance

between women and men

- Is quite natural.

- Yes it is.

Apart from reproduction.

- Yes it is.

- This is another issue.

My husband too has always something.

Men always have something.

He always has something.

Women and men are enemies,

only at one point…

- One should not marry.

- One should rather try

to balance the differences

between the sexes.

Men do not even listen anymore!

We should have talked

much more together!

- Do I disturb?

- No.

Would you please come again?

Well excuse me.

When I need you,

you are drinking together with Ms.

Kleinert!

Tell me, before you marry her,

and whether you want to live here then!

- Should be a surprise.

- The thing does not work.

Why not?

Am I the Diplom-Engineer

or you?

This is a very simple mechanism.

- Hello, Mrs. Kleinert!

- I'm doing the beds now.

We should let them know,

whether after the wedding we

- want to live here.

- Goodbye.

This is Uli.

Good morning, I have an

appointment with Mr Drögel.

- With whom?

- Mr. Drögel.

Drögel… Drögel, Drögel,

Drögel, Drögel, Drögel…

- I don't know him.

- He is a Director here.

Oh, you mean Mr. Director Drögel.

Is in the fabrics hall,

straight through the sliding door.

Good day, Heinrich, this is Renate!

Rubbish, Kurt… Heinrich.

Heinrich, I mean.

Where's Kurt? Is he at home?

For a long time we haven't…

How's it going?

It is easy to loose contact…

Tell me where… where is Kurt?

Yes. Here is Heinrich.

Gerti, I'm here in a phone booth

and he would have liked to talk to him.

Do you think I can

quickly at yours…

Yes? Right now? Yes.

Well, see… see you. Yes.

Hello?

Oh! Madam!

This is really nice!

My name is Lohse.

You kindly had…

- given me your business card.

- I know, I know.

I am glad that you are here.

Mr. Drögel,

before you get a wrong impression…

We are a leader for 27 years

in production

and sale of chocolate bars.

- Mr Drögel…

- If I may say so,

I have taken over the company

from my Uncle Erich Klotz,

My mother is a Klotz,

and continue to lead the company

under the name Klotz' Bars,

because Klotz' Bar is a

highly valued brand name.

And, um, because the name

"Bar-Drögel"

- Or "Drögel-Bar" not…

- Mr. Bar, uh, Mr. Drögel,

I had not really the intend

to be employed.

But for personal reasons

I do not want to stay at home

the whole day…

Mrs. Lohse, I know what

you wanted to say.

We offer you a free lancer position

as a counterweight

to your domestic partner,

which you probably

need some space.

- Not to, uh…

- Uh, yes, yes.

But how do you know if I

'm suited for this work?

I feel it.

Why should I know,

why Renate has changed?

How about a Zeppelin?

We write on it

"Renate, I love you."

Renate never looks up.

Or I'll get you the chancellor

for breakfast.

- This is still missing!

- I could arrange that.

- No.

- Buy buy a new suit.

- Women are in that way…

- How's Renate?

Good. Uh, thank you dan, thank you.

Quite… quite well.

But there must be something

to impress her.

I tell you,

Renate wants to admire you.

That's your whole problem.

Women love the extraordinary,

that, what they themselves can't

Heinrich, you're smoking too much.

Kurt stopped completely.

Oh, that is like that.

This has nothing at all, um…

Tell me… do you watch TV.

If nothing is on cinema.

"The family Schnakenburg."

Every week 20 millions watch it.

They are taping now the finale.

They are still looking for a villa.

- Like yours.

- So what?

Then Renate will see you on TV!

- Me?

- Well, your house,

and we will get yourself in it.

I know them all.

Then you're on TV.

That will surprise Renate!

- How do you know that so well?

- I am advertising specialist.

- I know what's going on!

- Oh!

For me your personal opinion

would be

very important for the autumn seasons

new chocolate bars.

My opinion?

The opinion of a woman

of education and with taste.

For example, if you would like

to taste it first.

This is a coconut filling

with pistachio cream as a carrier.

For older people

we have developed a Woodruff

softcreme variant.

The flavor particles develop best

by alternately sucking

and chewing.

- I do not know if you…

- Yes, yes…

- Renate?

- Wrong!

- Oh, Ms. Mielke!

- In front no one has opened.

I think it is related.

They should be in time…

I come in too. But only shortly.

If my sister finds out

she's killing me.

Well…

- Do you have a dog?

- No.

Renate, uh, my wife and I,

we go the day after tomorrow

celebrating the 80th birthday

of my mother-in-law.

Oh?

Yes.

Our autumn selection has

2 crocant compositions…

They are quite…

I mean, how many…

right now I do not feel very…

Oh! May I…

You have very beautiful hands.

Oh?

How is your impression

on the collection as a whole?

Yes, that one, I fell less…

I felt better afterwards.

- That was cherry nougat…

- Yes.

But here, the brown one…

Maron cream…

Yes, I got pretty… uh…

I see.

And the double nut in cream coat?

Too. That, too.

Do you like to call me Ernst?

What do you have against…

Something wrong?

What should be wrong?

Ah… What should be wrong?

I sit here and drink

what's this?

A Bitter.

A Bitter and a job I have

too. So all is good!

- When will you retire?

- Please?

When will you retire.

I speak clearly.

One more, please.

At some point I'll close the store.

And then we will stay in Mallorca.

And there you will,

for the rest of your life

annoying your wife.

Good journey! When does it start?

When do we leave? Well…

Whenever we are not in the mood

to stay here anymore.

Who is this ghost

in knitted dresses?

This is my wife.

Charming!

With very short hair.

And the fat one

with the mustache?

That was in Bad Harzburg.

There I was pretty…

I had a mustache.

Are the butter cookies already out?

I'll do it.

They are on the table.

Oh, Mrs. Mielke!

That is nice!

Do I disturb?

Your wife wanted to go to the city.

No, I'm always happy

when I am alone,

and someone passes by.

I am looking for my sister.

It is usually always at home

at this time and I thought,

that you might…

- Ah! You have got visitors?

- Yes. Uh, no, not directly.

I only went though the old photos.

And so I have prepared 1 cup of

tea made it.

2, there are 2 cups.

Yes. One was dirty.

Then I took a new clean one.

And another glass, because

the other was also… used.

- I will clean it up.

- I will help you.

Don't mid. I let it stay here.

We now come into the kitchen.

Through the hallway into the kitchen!

At home, I must do everything alone.

Brigitte is not much help

for me.

I have to tell you, unfortunately.

She is also… I don't know

whether you know it…

but that will remains among us

my sister, has some damage.

Oh? I did not even… ah…

- May I make myself comfortable?

- Oh yes, of course.

Brigitte is in terms of men,

somehow randomly, if I may say so

cautiously.

- Do you understand what I mean?

- Absolutely.

You should have already noticed it.

No, nothing. I have nothing.

Really. I think

I had noticed anything.

Men are blind.

What are you doing?

Mr. Lohse, you want to

steal my shoe!

God, how sweet!

Brigitte! Brigitte!!

Where is this measly rat?

Where is that head cheese hiding?

- Do you mean your sister…

- Ha!

We have a visitor.

Renate?

"I deny to broke-in

in home Mozartstraße 4

"and asure,

not to know any of the participants"

Um… Yes.

Oh, May I use the phone?

You're welcome.

Heinrich?

Lohse.

Here is Heinrich. Where have you been?

If someone asks questions here…

then it is me!

Do you have an explanation

for these pensioners orgy?

You, uh, no.

They got me involved.

Yes. This was her shoe

and I had her purse in my hand

and then she screamed.

It rings, come in

Getrud and Brigitte Mielke,

too beat themselfes in our living room!

That can't…

No, it was not like that!

At first we were only two.

That I don't know,

I left quickly.

Please be so kind and pick me up.

Please? I'm here

with business friends.

Address?

Günzelstraße 6.

Günzelstraße 6.

What? Oh, at, uh…

- What is your name?

- Meisenbach.

Um, with consul Meisenbach.

Don't ring.

I stay outside. And do not stop

right in front of the door.

So please, what should we do?

I, um, I will forbid all

female neighbors,

- to visit me.

- I am serious!

Now it's raining

and I have no umbrella!

Moment.

oh, Heinrich!

You've your own business now

with your candy factory.

And I already have an idea.

It will become very different.

Kurt?

Yes, my boy?

Well you look good!

So I am the former

Tutor of the Schnakenburgs?

- I think so.

- But I shouldn't I say something?

No, you got hit and just

carried out of the house.

So, please, keep silence!

And at 5:00, 5:30

are all gone, right?

Of course!

Otherwise it would not be a

surprise for Renate.

So, Mr. Lohse is expecting

that at 5:00, 5:30

the shack is free.

- We record the 28th

- and the 29th

But we will need Father and

mother Schnakenburg.

- Get them here asap.

- Do we continue?

As agreed, one day of shooting,

Wrap at 5:30.

- Who were negotiating that?

- No one informs me anymore.

Today we finish at 7:00

and tomorrow we start from 9:00

- No, no, no!

- Explain it to Mr. Lohse.

Heinrich, I have great news.

Continue filming and do

the full final tomorrow.

The Schnakenburg-Final

in your home.

And that is on your credit

Renate could be proud of you.

- Sorry, Mrs. Lohse.

- Yes, it is a pity.

I'm looking for candy bars.

My husband had

difficulties tonight

but then we got it straight.

I see.

I know now where is my place.

Renate, I love you.

You have your Bars, Mr. Drögel,

I need my home.

My… my nest.

I see.

Heinrich!

- You can not go through.

- Where is my husband?

- Heinrich! What happened?

- Renate!

My God! He probably should

stay down!

- Now, the surprise…

- Do not speak.

- I am the tutor…

- It's all right, Heinrich.

- I'm here.

- Oh, my God!

- Kurt!

- Hello, Renate!

If so great! Is not it?

That's… Well?

What in heaven's happened here?

Schna-schnakenburgs End

in the house of Lohse.

At Easter in the TV1.

That your man has organized.

Everyone leaves the location,

who has no business here!

- Is it a new scene?

- What do you want?

Nothing! I'm just Ms. Lohse

and I have lived here before!

I can not work like that. KURT!

You… somehow I got

the feeling that Renate

- Don't feel very pleased.

- Yes!

She is not enthusiastic.

Women can express it very well.

Oh?

Heinrich, can I speak to you again?

- Moment, moment!

- I would like to

- Immediately speak to my husband!

- Certainly.

Have you noticed that this

the only place in our home,

- that is left to us?

- Oh.

Do I have a misconception,

of a retirement?

Please tell me now,

if this is the room

we will live in the future!

- Renate…

- It has its good side, too!

We are once again come closer!

I want to know it now!

Then I will prepare for it!

I surely could in our

home once my own idea…

Now listen carefully!

You will put all this bunch of people

onto fresh air

or you can make your retirement,

wherever you want!

But not with me!

And for her birthday tomorrow

I'll go alone!

Who has birthday tomorrow?

My mother!

Mr. Lohse is there.

My wife just said,

do your shoting somewhere else.

- Quiet please!

- Sound!

- On!

- Camera!

- On!

- Go!

- 28.4, die 2nd

- Action!

- Done.

- Thanks, that's all for today.

Renate? Renate!

Wutzack, do something.

Couldn't you rest in your own place?

Like other dogs do?

- Papa?

- Yes.

This is Emiko.

Your father should take

the thin mantle.

You should take the thin mantle.

Oh, Mrs. Kleinert, you will bring

everything in order again?

- Start upstairs.

- Yes.

Ask your mother,

when does the train leaves.

- When does the train leaves?

- 9:18

at 9:18

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Please.

- Please.

I'm your aunt.

Because I am the sister

of your mother.

Hm hm.

That's why your grandmother

is my mother.

And my mother in law

and the mother of your mother.

Hm-hm.

So she is mother-in-law

of your father.

That's why your father is

my brother-in-law.

- Your brother in law.

- No, dear.

- That would be Renate's brother.

- Your uncle is right.

Hellmuth knows these things

always so well.

No we just complement each other

very good.

I'm always happy when Hedwig knows

something better.

You are a good one.

Hum! Do you know the story

of the district nurse

and the cow?

Tell your father, we don't

want to listen to that story

Tell your father, we do not want

to listen to that story.

Yes, yes. Maybe…

that is, perhaps,

perhaps this is not…

Um, yes.

Are not you well, Renate?

- Yes, yes. Thank you.

- I always feel quite well.

If you don't feel well, I

don't feel good either.

We in our marriage haven't been

separated for a single day.

For 21 years.

But we like to travel.

And you feel alright, Heinrich?

Um, I'm good, yes.

I'm all… good.

- So, the ladies and gentlemen.

- I get the ice cream.

The cake, please.

For me is it… Yes.

Who's cake was it?

- We share it.

- We share everything.

I may then collect

the money immediately.

This is the curve of Holzhausen.

I'll clean it.

Don't laugh about other people's

misfortune.

But if there is a reason

for a joke,

I like to smile.

Even your Aunt Hedwig.

True Happiness

comes from the heart.

We are cheerful

and are happy together.

I am happy for

your pretty pendant.

Yes, mother has worn it for a long time.

Too bad. It makes you look so pale.

Mrs. Jensen is 80 years today.

Long she should live

Now and forever.

We wish you a long time

A merry heart and satisfaction,

In the round your friends

and many relatives.

Congratulations,

Mrs. Jensen is now 80 years,

Long she should live

Now and forever.

There are 2 more verses.

I think that's enough now.

I now must eat something.

Sit still!

Madam,

They are light like a feather.

Are you sitting comfortably, mother?

This is now the 80th

The 75th but was only just recently.

No, not with your back outside.

I always say

Food keeps body and throat.

Soul! Body and soul!

Interestingly,

that women can not conduct.

Why can I not conduct?

- I am Pastor Hummel.

- Never mind, never mind!

Here, here, here in the middle.

Or no! At the head end!

Mother, we carry you,

wherever you want.

Light… as a feather.

Could we sit next to you, Mother?

Sit where you like.

Dieter, we have seated you

next to the ladies from the choir.

This is my place.

I always sit next to my husband

"I'm sitting

always next to my husband!"

Eat now,

or I'm going to make your life miserable.

- Do you belong to the family?

- No.

Lucky.

What is that?

- Herbal cream soup.

- Yuck!

That is herb cream with tarragon.

Food is meant to eat.

Wo do not talk about it.

Hellmuth and I

eat good, but simple.

Now the mayor is talking!

Lütje, what is it?

I thought after .. 'm.

After the main course, I thought.

Hellmuth would like to say a word.

Oh dear.

Dear Ms. Mom

Ladies and Gentlemen,

dear family! 80 years!

80 years experience,

of which 47 years of marriage

were the best.

This is new to me.

Anyway… So… Hedwig and I,

we in our 6-years of courtship

have saved up for each other

and now for so many years

awarded daily

by our harmonic stay

together, help each other and…

Uh, yes. Husband and wife

are… Or this:

Men and women complement each other.

If I may name it frankly.

Without Hedwig I wouldn't be

that, and Hedwig…

if we have once mistakenly

different opinions,

we specially love us.

I think it is clear…

- Listen! Hedwig!

What I wanted to say

We could be proud of each other.

Our sympathy goes to all couples,

to which the blessing is not granted

Perhaps he will finally

say cheers to me. Prost!

- She live long…

- There will be no singing.

Now my pocket fell down!

I could not reach it.

My husband prepared for Mother's

Birthday.

You and your husband, this milky bread,

you are so wonderful,

it chokes me in the neck!

- No, how vulgar!

- May I help you, dear?

Perhaps they even appear again.

Mother asks when you come up

for dinner again.

Renate said some very nasty

about us.

When it comes to a relationship

between a man and woman,

we don't make jokes,

And if Renate is so naughty,

she will have a problem.

- Dear People…

- We have always noticed,

- That your marriage is lacking fire.

- Internal fire.

Tjaha! That is missing.

And unfortunately, we lack even

your intimate "help-each-other".

This wonderful

and yet so modest fortune.

And that cheerful,

The happy base

for a harmonious coexistence.

- Hedwig… Listen? Hedwig!

- Did you hear that, mother?

Hedwig, the mayor

speaking to you!

Hedwig, you are the hottest

what I ever met between Heringsdorf

and Borkum.

Mr. Lütje, did you just say

very obscene words!

The mayor wanted to make me happy.

I do not agree.

And we never have different

opinions.

Then please follow my opinion.

- Do you belong to the family?

- No.

I apologize

for the shamelessness of my wife?

"They talk to him,

she sang to him,

"Then she felt for him.

"half she dragged him, half he sank in"

"An were never seen again"

What's next?

Nothing more.

Between us there is something broken!

You have taken away the

innocence of our relation!

What? The last part I have

not understood.

Did you just now actually

were talking to me?

No, I have only

talked to myself.

But now you said something.

- I dont know what.

- You said

that you had only talked to yourself

- Yes.

- Of course.

Pastor! Please say something.

My dear friends…

What a wonderful celebration!

- but no one is listening.

and no clue of women

How do you know whether I

can conduct or not?

I dont care if you can or not.

Something I miss on you.

I'm not sure what.

Hedwig, you are the hottest,

what I ever…

Shall I serve the pear Helene?

- What is that?

- Heinrich!

This is an apple compote

with whipped cream.

Two times.

Could it be that I…

that I myself recently

- Not always very…

- Yes.

What if I would pay more effort…

No, Heinrich, please!

Don't.

There should be a manual to

handle such cases.

A policy or something.

What about if we together start

something?

What should we start?

Something reasonable.

Meaningful! It has to be meaningful!
