Then I'Il wait here.

Okay.

"WouId you Iike to eat with us?"

That'd be nice.

How do you know each other?

What does she want from J?mrome?

I don't know.

I wouldn't mind Iiving here.

Just kidding!

I'm putting a pond in down there.

With koi.

A friend of mine gets them for me.

Do you know those fish?
- No. Never heard of them.

It's a type of Japanese carp.

They come in various coIors
and patterns.

They're really sensitive,
it takes a Iot of work.

But they're beautifuI.

l don't like fish. l find them boring.

Why are you visiting me now?
After alI this time?

I don't know. No particuIar reason.

I was curious.

How's your mother?

She died last year.

In a car crash.

She was overtaking
and smashed into a truck.

She died instantIy.

I'm very sorry.

It's not your fault.

What does it taste Iike?

Can l try?

What did she tell you?
- lt makes no difference!

Come on! What did she say?

You can't send me back.
They"re looking for me in Germany.

For theft and stuff.

You're Iying!

Yes...

Yes!

The car is waiting, Commissioner.

Calm down, Madame.
- Let me go.

Get in.

Can I see your bag again, pIease?

Are you enjoying this?
- Not reaIIy, but I have to do it.

There you go.

Got anything in the pram?
- No.

Can I take a Iook? Okay, fine.

Here's the key to your ceII.

Nino, get up off the floor!

Get up!

Maybe l'd better take him with me.

You know the rules.
You shouId Ieave now.

You can see that he's not happy.

Give me my chiId back!
- He's fine, don"t you worry.

Go to work,
we'lI see you in the afternoon.

I thought she'd eaten something bad.

How was I to know?

Kids often eat too much.

And l couldn't stay at home, either.

I had to go to work.

Stop that. PuII yourself together.

What are you afraid of?

Do I embarrass you?

Will you visit her more often now?

I'm not reaIly weIcome, right?

I need money.

I have to go.

Do you want a lift?

He needs new shoes.

Don't you want to know his name?
It's J.T. Jermaine TyreII.

You're crazy.

Are those new shoes?

Keep the baIl Iow.

Yes, it's better to take your time.

That's it for today! Hit the showers!

Let go of me!

Take her up.

Let go!

Okay, that's enough.

Paul, that's disgusting!
You eat like a pig.

Hello!

Isa, go downstairs with the kids.

Put your own clothes back on.

Come on, hurry up.

What about my present?

Why do you ask?

Don't teII me you're worried!

BeIieve me, the children are fine.

I gave her a bike as a present.

She's asIeep.

I don't want you to come here.

No.

Hello?

Or have you eaten already?

I can't change the way things are.

You're just like your mother.

Yes, it's exactly a month on Friday.

I stayed with a girlfriend.
I didn't know where to take the kids.

I spIit with my American husband
and wanted to return to Germany.

I had to do it quickIy.

Where do you Iive now?
- l got a small fIat through my friend.

You're already renting?

And where are you staying?

And the kids? How is Fanny?

Don't start that, pIease.

Do they ever ask about me?

I'll be right back.

l could never sIeep in your bed, huh?

Tell me, how was it back then?
- Stop it.

Did l mention that l stayed with him?

He's a policeman. Funny, huh?

You're reaIIy annoying me!

Why don't you just leave?
- The way you just Ieft, you mean?

That's enough. Now go!

Here we are.

This way.

Jermaine.

No, not in there! Come here.

What's this?

Come on.

Hey, stop it!

So, come in.

This is J.T. This is Marc.

What's the matter?

Look around, sit down, do as you like.

Baby, we need that now.

Whose kids are those?

Don't you get on my nerves

Stop making children.

Go back to sleep.

I'm hungry too.

Maggie, J.T.!

What"s wrong?

Are you annoyed about schooI?

I aIways liked having a day off.

How about staying in bed alI day?

Come on!

What's wrong? Are you scared of me?

Fanny, come and sit here.

Paul, how about you?

Look.
You can see a Iong way from here.

Up to heaven.
- Yes!

Do you Iike it here?

Isn't it nice
that we're all together again?

I don't even know anything about you!
You've all grown so much.

See how strong l am?

Show me. Come here.

Okay, show me how strong you are!

On your marks, ready, go!
- Paul! Paul! PauI!

You can do it, Paul!

Fanny! Fanny! Fanny!

You cheated!
- l did not cheat! - You did!

Maggie!

Stand up!

Arms up!

Then you can go to bed like that.

Hurry up!

l can't find it. - Forget your
stupid tooth, you'll get a new one.

Can l see?

Open your mouth.

Will you open your mouth?

Why don't l have dots on my face?

What?
- l want dots too.

They"re freckIes.
I hated them when l was your age.

Have you ever counted them?
- No.

But l always imagined
that they gIowed like stars.

I want to have stars too.

Okay. - l want dots too!
- No, it's time to sIeep now.

Can you turn on the haII Iight?

Why do we have to sIeep here?
I want to go to lsabella's!

Maggie, turn off the Iight, pIease!

Turn off the Iight!

Maggie!

Stop it, Maggie! It's annoying!

Maggie!

Fanny,

what do you caIl her? Rita or Mum?

Go to sIeep!

Hi, Baby.
- Hello.

Come in.

What time is it?

Just after ten.

Do you want to go out?
- l'm tired.

Do you reaIize we don't even talk?

What do you mean? Of course we talk.

Yes...

I mean, you never speak about yourseIf.

Nor do you speak about the children.

Because there's nothing to telI.

Past doesn't matter to me.

It's got nothing to do with you anyway.

You don't even know me.

You never ask anything.

What do you want?

Do you want some?

You drink too much beer.
You're getting fatter and fatter...

I thought you like that.

How would you know?

Just a guess.

I've seen Larry today.

He's with his new girlfriend.

They're talking about getting married.

Will he stay in Germany?

I don't know.

I think so.

In his 'paradise'

And what do you mean by that?
- That's what he toId me.

Germany is a paradise for black men.
That's what he said.

ls she pregnant?

I don't think l could live here.

lt doesn't matter to me where I am.

I could Iive anywhere.

I never met anyone Iike you before.

Always and forever

Each moment with you

It seems Iike a dream to me

That somehow came true

And l know tomorrow

Will still be the same

'cause we have a Iife of Iove

That no one can change.

You can have a spoon too.

I have an idea.

Now aII the soiI?
- No, just this here...

Give me that bucket.

Now the ivy.

Just a moment, please!

So, l'll make a copy of the cheque.
You can get your money at the counter.

Don't forget the missing papers,
or we'II have to cIaim the money back.

Have you decided
what kind of beds you want?

I'd Iike a bunk-bed.
- A bunk-bed?

But then l want to sleep underneath.

And you won't argue about it?
- No.

What do you want?
- Underneath as welI.

You too?
Why can't you two agree? Your turn.

She aIways wants the same as me!

It's not just about you two.
What about the others?

I don't believe it! Fanny!

She's cheating.

No way! How couId I cheat?
You're just jeaIous!

Did you call lsabelIa? - What?
Have you caIIed IsabeIIa? - No.

I want to know if you call her.
- l don't caII her.

You mustn't believe what she says
about me. She's a liar.

So, now it's my go.

You can call her, but l want to know.

I don't caII her!
- Do you want to go back to her? - No!

Hello.
- Hello.

Anybody want a pizza?

Are you okay?
- Yes.

lsa, wilI you pass me the water, pIease?

What's wrong with your eye?

Oh, it's not as bad as it Iooks.

When did it happen?

Last night.

I was dancing a bit wildIy
and I bumped into someone.

Don't you believe me?

Don't be so mistrustfuI, Fanny!

Can you pick up Maggie later?

Yes.

Mum?

Mum?

Why aren't you asIeep?

Damn! You're always spying on me!

Are you keeping tabs on me?

I'm the mother and you're the chiId,
you understand?

Understand?

Stop crying!

Do you drink a lot?

No.

No? That's good.

Just on nights like these, you know?

Like these?

Bad night? lt's gonna be a good night.
- l think so, too. - Yeah?

You have such beautifuI eyes.
- ReaIIy? - Yes.

And a nice smile, too. - l guess
you aIways say that, right? - No!

Why shouId I aIways say that?

If somebody's got not so nice eyes,
I don't have to say anything, right?

But yours are beautifuI.

Thank you.

That's what l got Junior here for!

Hey, I didn't say nothing!
Now hold it, hoId it.

Let's get everything perfectIy cIear.

Now, baby, what did he tell you?
Rita, he told you shit Iike,

" l come here every now and then..."
- And order... - Order a gin and tonic.

He didn't say he'lI pay!
- He didn't say that? - No!

So, we got to get that straight.
- l understand you're a businessman...

Hey, Junior, you don't have to worry.
Your hands are tied, you cIear.

We don't have to worry about paying.
We've got him.

Go to bed, aII of you.

Fanny!

Maggie, come on.

This is Kevin.

Hi! Nice to meet you.

So, did you have fun?

What do you mean by fun?

Nothing. l just wanted to know
how did it go.

Does it have anything to do with you?

Anyway, what is all this?

Take your things and get lost.

What? What's wrong with you?
- Are you deaf?

What's up? Why are you getting
all upset? - This is my apartment!

And l don't want any strangers here!

ln my home!

And l aIso don't want
just anybody cutting my child"s hair.

Get out of here.

Get out of here!

Paul?

Open the door.

Come out now, damn it! You hear?

l'll wait here untiI you come out.

Do you hear?

Jimmy, this is Rita.
Rita... Jimmy. - HeIIo. - Hi.

Maybe I shouId leave.

I'm gIad you came.

Hello?

Where are you aII?

Mummy?

Mummy?
- Yes.

Fanny?

Fanny.

Fanny!

Isa!

You have to go to this base, okay?

You have to go to this base, okay?

Ready?
- Yeah. - Go!

Go, run, run, run, run!

Next!

Your turn.
Just take it and put it right there.

Paul!

Okay.

Ready? - Yeah. - Here you go, PauI.

Okay.

Run, run, run!

Good.

Hey!

I picked them up from schooI.
- Why didn't you caII me?

I don't know.

Got you... Got you a cap.

Both you and J.T.

This is yours.

So, this is your spot,
you're gonna hit.

Okay, l'll show you how to hit.

Come on.

Come on. We're playing.

Here you go. J.T., you hit next, okay?

You're the coach. You be the coach.
Stay right.. .

Yes, stay right there.

Alright, PauI, you ready?

Now, this is the key:

When you hit the baII,
you have to run there,

you have to run there, you have to run
there and you come here, okay?

Alright. Then once you get here,
if you make it, you say ''One point!"

Got it? Ready? You gotta bring it in.

Run! Run, run, run!

Good!

Look!

They sparkIe.

Aren't they nice?

When you wet them...

What? They're just normaI stones.

J.T. is finaIIy asleep.

Hush little baby, don't say a word

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that Mockingbird don't sing

Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

It's a pity
we couldn't use the rubber boat.

Yes, that's true.

I need to taIk to you.

So?

It's not that easy.

I'II be going back soon.

Did you get it?

In three weeks.

Get up!

Come on!

We've overslept. Get up, Fanny!

Hello!

Stop it!

Paul, wait!

Wait. Just a moment.

There's one for you too, Paul.

Maggie!

Bye!
- Bye!

Are the others here too?

Where are they? Downstairs?

You gave them back.
- And you? What do you want?

Can l stay with you?
- No!

You can't.

You're incredibly stubborn!

Hello, Fanny.

I hope you're hungry.

There's no one here.

I'm aIl alone.

What do you mean? l don't understand.

It just feels better when she's here.

Do you think she'll come back?

No.

I'm hungry.

It's coId by now, but...
