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.

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.
hhh 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.

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.

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. 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 Glckners. 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?

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.
Knigsberg 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 Pppi.
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 Drgel.
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!
Taubtrber Ginst at Musenhain!
Trbtauber 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 Wrzburg.
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 Kthe.
Oh
Kthe
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
Wrzburg 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 Drgel.
- With whom?
- Mr. Drgel.
Drgel Drgel, Drgel,
Drgel, Drgel, Drgel
- I don't know him.
- He is a Director here.
Oh, you mean Mr. Director Drgel.
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. Drgel,
before you get a wrong impression
We are a leader for 27 years
in production
and sale of chocolate bars.
- Mr Drgel
- 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-Drgel"
- Or "Drgel-Bar" not
- Mr. Bar, uh, Mr. Drgel,
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 Mozartstrae 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?
Gnzelstrae 6.
Gnzelstrae 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. Drgel,
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!
Ltje, 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. Ltje, 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!
uh, the, uh, the, uh
- Which one?
- The Thing! The black!
The one with addresses
and phone numbers.
No idea.
Would you place the dog
somewhere else.
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
especially
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

It is on the tip of my tongue
but could not get it out.

Please sit down.
Cigar?
Oh, thank you very much.

Well, how
How does he call you now?

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.

- 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.
hhh 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.

It's no fun to cook for you.
- I have 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

Yes. And in the afternoons.
And where, what, what do 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.

- Yeah.
And so I have made up,
to relieve to discharge

Head of the, uh, the, uh,

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. 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 Glckners. 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.

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?

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.
Knigsberg 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 Pppi.
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 Drgel.
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!
Taubtrber Ginst at Musenhain!
Trbtauber 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 Wrzburg.
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 Kthe.
Oh
Kthe
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
Wrzburg 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 Drgel.
- With whom?
- Mr. Drgel.
Drgel Drgel, Drgel,
Drgel, Drgel, Drgel
- I don't know him.
- He is a Director here.
Oh, you mean Mr. Director Drgel.
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. Drgel,
before you get a wrong impression
We are a leader for 27 years
in production
and sale of chocolate bars.
- Mr Drgel
- 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-Drgel"
- Or "Drgel-Bar" not
- Mr. Bar, uh, Mr. Drgel,
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 Mozartstrae 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?
Gnzelstrae 6.
Gnzelstrae 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. Drgel,
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,

- 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!
Ltje, 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. Ltje, 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!
