Spare yourself the TV...
"TAZ" and "FAZ"
Cinema, peep-show,

Trashy novel, ghost train

Subway dream and metro flair
Charing Cross and Leister Square
Montparnasse, Vincennes-Neuilly
Bleeker Street and Bowery

Just look at these people!
Commuters between
frustration and hell
Fug and cold,
booze and cell
Employment agency,
asylum and gas supply
Go ahead, just take the metro again!
Then you'll see
what life is like
When longing
eats at your brain
When hope
is a lottery
And every dream
revolves around revenge

- Take a look at the people!
- Line 1
- Go ahead, just take the metro again!
- Line 1
And you're getting mad, man!
When someone's rambling
on "economic recovery" again
Burping "trust",
"luck" and "prosperity"
Swearing by
growth Without end
But never takes
the tube in a lifetime
The haloed mafia
Sleazy fraud
and reunification crap
Shit all over
this bubble, man
You'd better take the tube!
Shit all over
this bubble, man
- And better take the tube!

Go ahead,
just take the metro once again...
You don't do such thing!
Baaah!
Berlin, you sole city on earth
Where the East
creeps from all corners
And thus, the sun never sets
But always rises!
From moaning Schneberg
to stamping Tempelhof
From sick Lankwitz
To fragile Moabit
I'll sing your song
I'll sing your song
I'll sing your song, Berlin!
All aboard, please!
Hey, you, wait a second
Eh, what are you staring at, huh'?
Could you tell me
how I can get to Kreuzberg?
Good God,
That was plenty
Hello Miss, young Lady!
Hold it,
Just one question, if you excuse.
I need to get
To my mortally sick sister
And I'm not so well on my feet
And I lack
money for the tube.
'Cause I'm out of work
and without shelter.
Well, I've got nothing either!
You think I'm a trickster, huh?
It's just because
of my sister It's Cancer!
Wait, the tube costs 2 Mark 30.
2 Mark 30? Then I need it myself.
But this is theft!
Did you see that, folks?
- I swear!
- We saw it!
With thanks.
My bottle!
That's not your bottle.
My bottle!
I
didn't touch your bottle.
- You swigged it!
- I didn't!
I put it back into your pocket,
like Lulli!
Son of a bitch!
You will want to ask Lulli. I
You're not the type of person who robs
a nodding drunkard of his last sip!
That's bad!
But I didn't!
Worse than stealing baby food!
You're an animal!
Listen! I defended your bottle!
You bastard!
Listen to me
or I punch you in the face!
You bastard!
Stop it!
Erich, stop it!
Your head is already mush.
You dirty pig, you!
Erich, you dumb-ass!
The cops
Ohohohoh!
Hey girl. sot a Mark?
So, this wog one over here
owes me a beer, okay?
And if the cash doesn't
slide in right now, he's dead!
- It's a matter of life and death!
- Very funny!
Great, no worries
One less foreigner.
Bullshit!
What about now?
- Nope!
- Where did you just come from?
- Where did you come from?
- From Neuklln. Know it?
She doesn't know Neuklln!
15 kilometres,
just jogging, get it?
Night marathon! Coolest thing ever, eh!
- Are you stupid?
- No, just work-shy.
All day long,
it's all the same, girl, get it?
It's way better at night anyways!
You don't run into anyone,
the squares are asleep,
and you can easily
walk from pub to pub.
Aren't they closed then?
No, not in Berlin.
They're never closed.
So that the drunkards
don't run off to the West, understand?
Gotta get
to Kreuzberg now.
Hey, are you Turkish?
- How do I get there?
- Well, jog!
Dude, just tell me!
Hey, tell me, what's your name?
Alice.
- Alice!
- Alice!
Alicita!
Chiquita Banana!
What a jerk!
So damn bright here!
What a bloody city is this,
where the sun rises
at six in the morning,
Ah, my legs. Ow!
What are you staring at?
Dang, look at that doll,
she stinks of dough.
By Allah, my sister!
That's not true!
Ran away from home, huh?
Nah, why?
I'm just visiting someone here.
I thought the same
when I came here 20 years ago.
And now I have
everything I ever wanted.
Car, phone,
a villa in Grunewald, men.
Men?!
I'm sick of all this. Yeah
If you're up shit creek,
call me.
- Me too!
- Me too!
No work!
Work Since I work,
I'm surrounded by jerks.
Why do you guys wanna work?
Bugger off.
Get drunk, wankers!
Ow, bloody bum!
Where can I get a taxi?
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Kreuzberg!
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Sorry, which way to Kreuzberg?
Got some money?
Piss off, pussy!
Hello, which way to Kreuzberg?
Better go work, tart!
Poor Germany.
I'll take you there, babe.
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Don't know. Don't wanna know!
Can you tell me which way to
Just follow your nose
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Just follow the smell of kebab.
- Hey, which way to
- Understand, Line 1, girl.
Schlesisches Tor, girl!
Kreuzberg nights are long!
The door snaps shut
The train departs
Mind the gap
Too close again
It was always like that.
Mind the gap!
And wait
The swing in the yard
The merry-go-round
Mind the gap!
I'm not that fast!
It was always like that.
Mind the gap!
And wait.
- The flat with a balcony
- The woman for life
- The really good job
- Taken already, taken already
Mind the gap!
It's always too close.
The door snaps shut.
The train departs.
I figured the rules long ago.
Mind the gap and wait!
- Waiting
- For the next crowded train
- Waiting
- For the next small sip
- Waiting
- For the dickheads at rush hour
For a life as empty as a torn sieve!
- Waiting
- For this day to pass
- Waiting
- For my next cardiac arrest
- Waiting
- For the last big bang
For rheumatism, cancer, brain damage.
To Kreuzberg?
- Waiting
- Well there!
For what?
- Waiting
- For some explosion?
- Waiting
- In the filthy underground shaft
While the sun is always shining outside.
Waiting!
Good morning!
Can I sit there?
You forgot your suitcase.
Mind the "crazy"!
Is this the way to Kreuzberg?
To Kreuzberg?
All deaf and dumb here!
Wow, that's not
an underground at all!
We're on the ground!
Insane!
You sit across me
And look past me
I see you every morning
And sometimes at three
You seem nice at times
Other times you're a pain
But mostly I don't care about you.
Don't give a damn.
But mostly I don't care about you.
Don't give a damn.
You sit across me every week
One hour vis-a-vis.
With a stiff face
And wiggle with your knee.
Who knows where you work?
Factory, office, eatery
I don't care.
Don't give a damn.
I don't care.
Don't give a damn.
- I'm imagining your tits.
- And you might be from Britz.
- Your tits?
- From Britz?
- Maybe you're a man-eater
- Maybe you're a wife beater
- Man-eater?
- Wife beater?
- Maybe you are into me?
- I dreamt of sex with you on me!
- On you?
- Into you?
Maybe you've been lonely for too long
Maybe you can be very tender
You sit across from me
and look past me
I see you every morning
And sometimes at three
You're a scrap of the underground
I don't give a shit about you.
And if you stay away once,
I guess I won't notice
And if you stay away once,
I guess I won't notice
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame
What a sha-a-aaaaa-me...
Got a Mark?
You're the fifth one!
Does your mom know you're here?
- You're so lucky.
- Huh?
How can a chick be that lucky?
You really hit the jackpot!
What jackpot?
Well, that you met me!
You gotta imagine
Hundreds of Weest chicks
bunk to Kreuzberg each year
where they all just end up very badly.
All of them!
But you get out of the metro
at eight in the morning.
And who do you meet? Me!
Tho' I've never been up this early, yo.
Well, just call me Bambi.
Everyone knows Bambi here.
And who are you?
I'm Sunny.
Where you from, Sunny?
From well, you don't know it anyways.
I have to go, my boyfriend is waiting.
Okay, I'm happy to wait.
By the way,
do you know where Andersenstrasse is?
Andersenstrasse?
Ey Sunny, there is no
Andersenstrasse in Kreuzberg.
Of course there is,
I know that!
Laters!
What a lucky chick!
Ey, Kleister!
Bambi Bambule!
Look , Lumpi, your Bambi!
Not in the sky! There, on the stairs!
I'll come up, eh.
This way, Lumpi.
Bloody awesome! Good ol' Bambi!
Hey mate, how's business?
Well, sucks.
Lumpi!
Jeez, are you drunk or something?
Can't get rid of this chick, yo.
She clings like a leech.
Just wants to live on my couch.
You're such a freak!
Nothing but trouble with these chicks.
How come it gets so bright
in the middle of the night?
Lumpi, keep your boobs in!
Sorry?
Yes?
I would like to know
where Andersenstrasse is.
Andersenstrasse?
Nope, don't know it.
Can you tell me
where Andersenstrasse is?
Andersenstrasse?
I know Andersenstrasse.
But it's in Krefeld, right?
Ey, Sunny!
Dude, where'd you get this chick?
I told you, there's no Andersenstrasse.
Your guy totally screwed you!
- Dammit!
- Stop it!
Is this woman sick or something?
Listen, if there's anything I hate,
it's cops or bitches crying, all right?
Was it your first? Well, the first one
you got it on with, right?
Lovesick, eh?
Kleister, how long did you
whine about Maggie?
For 'IO months I wanted to
kill myself because of that bitch.
Rad, huh?
Listen princess,
here's a lesson for life.
Love is the most epic trip,
eh, the strongest action!
The greatest and most beautiful thing
in this bloody world. Watch it:
When a chick's
In a good mood I leave everything.
We crash into each other
And the world's beautiful.
We kiss, lick,
Eat each other from head to toe
And we scuffle, screw, fuck
Until the water taps break down
But when big fat love awakens
Then, the fun is over, then it's stress
So when big fat love awakens
Then do a bunk!
Get lost! Otherwise, good night!
The great love
ls disgusting and asocial
Thousands of women
Look at you and Want it all
But you let them starve for one chick
That's just annoying, anyways,
And babbles that she doesn't trust you.
'Cause when big fat love awakens
Future plans are being made
'Cause love actually means
Wall unit, desert red, pension award!
Oh, when big fat love awakens
The state turns you
Into a zombie in the twinkling of an eye
Into a lottery junky
With poo in your fortune cookie
TV-spoiled, consumption infarct
and precautionary cancer!
TV-spoiled, consumption infarct
and precautionary cancer!
All right, princess?
And what happens
when you're pregnant?
Expensive!
What's the name
of your prince charming?
Johnnie.
The rock singer, don't you know him?
Everyone calls him
Johnny-Boy around here.
Johnnie-Boy!
Here. But don't look at the back!
Hey, that mug looks familiar somehow!
Not to me.
And how did you meet him?
He was performing
with his band in my hometown.
He flirted with me the whole concert.
It was utter madness!
A hole-in-one, huh?
It was real love!
Our plan was
to move in together
if I couldn't bear it at home anymore.
I'll find him for you!
Well, dude, tough luck!
Now you'll have to deal with Bambi.
- Psst! Customers.
- Shut up!
Listen, you'll drive back
to Bahnhof Zoo now!
Just go to the burger lady there.
Give her a big kiss from Bambi
and she'll stuff you till you burst.
I'll join you later.
I've got a job to do.
What kind of job?
Crooked deals, huh?
On the contrary,
I am a drug consultant.
"God loves a good dealer".
That's what the Bible says.
Hallelujah, laters!
What the hell are you doing again?
Ouch!
Go away!
That's no raspberry sauce!
Schlesisches Tor, terminus.
All out, please.
Why so noisy!
I'll let you crash at my place.
Full of wogs here.
And always a bun in the oven,
like rabbits.
Poor Germany.
We slave away to death
and they just fuck to get money.
Always bonking hard for those child
benefits, like rabbits, from our taxes.
That's how we finance
the demise of the German people!
Are we still in Berlin
or in Anatolia, or what?
Every fourth child
is a Turk bastard already.
That is being supported.
But the pension funds are empty.
Boy oh boy, if I had a say.
Yes, to...
Nah, no gassing.
I still have a heart.
A clean deportation within 12 hours,
just like the Poles did with us.
And then throw them in the Black Sea.
Gosh, what will become
of our beautiful Berlin?
It's self-defence.
"Volksdeutschland".
Right to self-determination,
even for Germans.
Are you crazy?
Finally.
Air polluter.
Merhaba.
- Merhaba.
- Merhaba.
Damn Nazi.
Put it out!
Put it out, immediately!
I said, put it out!
Off with that cigarettes, bastard!
Smoking prohibited.
Here, rules.
This, Deutschland.
Risibi?
Bisi?
Do you have
A lighter?
Yes, take mine!
Oh, thanks!
You're heading to school?
What? Do we look so retarded?
School is outdated
Twice a week
for a little bit of fun, right Bisi?
You said it.
'Cause we are just so awesome.
Those poor teachers
have their issues with us.
Stop smoking, immediately!
Ah, those men just
keep losing it with us, every time.
I think I can handle gals like you!
And then those false hopes
You cannot tell me how to
Moral troll!
Look at this little uncle,
how he's touching those little girls.
But you're so damn right,
I think smoking's not good.
Come on, grandpa,
take a seat.
A little exciting, huh?
And stop pinching
little girls in the bottom.
Look at him!
Yuck!
What's that wanker?
I don't know!
He's been following me since the morning.
He might be a little crazy.
- Bisi?
- Risi?
What are you doing with him?
My mother said, I should kick
all voyeurs and wankers in their nuts.
First with the knee.
Pudding.
And then with the boot tip.
Splash.
- Awesome.
- Yeah.
But how do you recognize
voyeurs and wankers?
Very simple: Coat, hat and
sneaking around in the metro.
Just a moment.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey
Okay, Ladies...
See ya!
See ya!
See ya!
But where are the kids?
Why should I know?
How can you sit down,
while the kids are outside?
- Stefan! Andreas!
- I think I'm losing it, or what.
- Risi! Here!
Shit fuck, crap!
Hey?
Well, that's all I ever longed for
Go on like that and you'll soon
be on your own with them.
Stefan! Andreas!
You want me to join?
First you spoil them
and undermine my education
and then you blame me
when they do not toe the line.
Just like your mother, huh?
Leave my mother out of that.
If you screw those little beasts
while I am at work,
it has nothing to do with my mother.
You and your work again
What's your name?
Momo. And you're Bisi?
Nonsense. Only today.
We just name ourselves
however we feel like.
Yesterday we were Airy and Fairy.
In the club, we are Fancy and Nancy.
And when we are really up for rampage
we are Remmi and Demmi
or Rambo and Zambo.
And today we are Risi and Bisi.
You know the Risibisi.
Leave it.
It was only one beer or so.
I leave it when I want to.
Stefan, you piggy, stop that spitting.
Who taught you that?
Don't you smile like that
or I'll let you have it!
Boozing and wisecracking
That's what you do.
The married ones
must be out of their minds, huh?
But if you wanna have children?
Ughs, children.
Hey you little rug-rat.
What does this aunty have
in her baggy?
Such sweety stuff.
Where is he?
Do you want it?
Look it's up here!
No, there.
Andreas! Back off from that aunty.
Dieter! Do something! You loser!
Leave it! We have chocolate at home.
Stop laughing!
Beating is
the only thing you know, right'?
I've had enough!
This is my day off
and nobody will ruin it for me,
not even you.
Dieter! Dieter stay.
Dieter! Get out you sleepy-heads, now!
Dieter! Dieter!
Andreas,
you have to get off! Andreas!
Andreas, Andreas!
Hey, you, he)' Yo
listen, just listen to me
I want to tell you something about me
I've never done that
except with you
Maybe it'll help you,
I don't know you
I just see how sad you are
But your sadness will end
I know that
from the look of your face
soon you'll be proud and happy again
'Cause you're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
You're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
I always used to be such a wart hog
Full of pimples,
too sweaty, too fat and too small
A klutz, half blind,
grouchy and godsmacked
And I didn't even finish 9th grade
My mother's a drunkard,
I was her biggest pain
I hate her like she hates me
But your sadness will end
I know that
from the look of your face
soon you'll be proud and happy again
'Cause you're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
You're beautiful
even beautiful when you cry
I have no loving and caring grandma
Not even a rat, a dog or a friend
My future is one filthy endless chute
Full of guck and muck
and black as coal
How fine that sometimes an angel
Like you appears
And cries for me
Sorry for bothering you straight away.
No, I think it's good.
But if that isn't even allowed anymore,
I mean talking to each other,
then it's over.
Like a coffin dodger,
you'll never see the sun anymore.
You can knock as much as you can,
no one cares.
There are plenty of them.
You're lovesick'?
Those pigs.
In public transport..
But well, I am not in pain,
I don't have to starve or freeze
Most humans in the world
are not doing so well.
Well
You wanna be good for something.
First, it was so thin...
I want to be needed.
The defecation,
not fluid, but solid,
but thin as earthworms.
There was blood, but much later.
And I say, Karl,
that might be an ulcer.
And he's like,
no, those are just my hemorrhoids.
And now, he has a stoma.
The whole rectum, gone.
You always
have to check your defecation.
Is it soft, solid or fluid.
Also the colour is important.
I'm a real expert.
Well, I've been having
pretty yellowish poop for two days.
Almost like vanilla sauce,
but with little globs.
But now, I ask myself,
if this could be pus
like with my open leg.
Tell me
was it really that nice
with your boyfriend?
I mean like true love
Who can witness those things, nowadays?
I mean
Whipped cream for a lifetime
is not for you, right?
But what if I'll get pregnant?
A little baby from such great love?
Look, my mother hates me.
She was raped by some guy
and then she had me.
They only come to me
when they are drunk as fuck.
But I love him
and I am still looking for him.
But if I find him and it's really over
I'll kill myself.
Are you stupid?
This will be over soon.
Even if you still can't believe it now.
You'll have something even bigger.
Why should you know?
I just know!
I am a witch.
You'll find yourself a guy.
The hell I find, I am looking for a job.
Eldercare, this would be
the job of my dreams.
Ugh, washing old people.
Why not?
I just can't stand old people.
Really?
And what will you be doing for a living?
Become a singer.
Johnny, my friend,
always wanted me to sing in his band.
Singer, bullshit.
Shit! The inspectors.
Good morning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I see your tickets please.
We know all the excuses. They'll be soon
available in your next bookshop.
- What shall we do?
- Wait and see!
Once the inspectors were tired old men
Every passengers held his breath
when he appeared
And those sinners without tickets
followed them trembling and ashamed
Today we squall the train
with 12 of us on patrol
Backed by the police
and facing an idiot
Close combat and no flank guard
But victory will be ours
What do you mean with "inspection"?
It's war!
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Ah, mister inspector
Come a bit closer
You see how
they twitch their noses
Bah!
Long-term-unemployment
in every corner
Moral trolls, homo pigs
Anti-socials, communists
Negros, drags, feminists!
Is this a rat nest?
To Siberia, with the plague
Berlin is already contaminated
Gassing! Heads off!
Enough is enough!
Santa Santa-inspector
Please don't look so mean to me
Look at you,
you are just a loser yourself
Only the minors you blame
Don't you feel ashamed?
Inspector dickhead
Have you lost your mind?
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Old ladies turn to hyenas
Schoolgirls kicking with their shoes
Gentle Indians snarl their teeth
Unemployed punch in a flash
Soon there 'II be a fare increase,
you will see
Then they frisk the pack with 120 men
Put your hands up!"
"Tickets please!"
"Hands on the Wall!"
Or I'll let you have it with a gun
Ole'!
Me thought, here no fear
but so much hate and police.
Only want to be human
Must have lost my head
deciding to come to this country
Santa Santa-inspector
Please don't look so mean
Look at you,
you are just a loser yourself
Only the minors you blame
Don't you feel ashamed?
Inspector dickhead
Have you lost your mind?
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Jungle-war!
Look who's there!
Watch out, the inspectors!
" EY Rambo)!
- Ey Zambo!
Where you heading at?
What is it?
Again this strange guy with the hat.
We have plenty of those guys here.
They just sit in their caves,
doors locked six times
and leave the flat
only to buy dog food.
There are people who dream in their bed
and others in the metro.
Damn, I need to change.
Can I go with you?
NO way!
Where are you in two hours?
At Bahnhof Zoo at the snack stall.
Ok, see you there!
Don't you dare to stay away.
I too wanted to jump on the tracks.
Kurfilrstenstrasse,
we just passed it.
You know what?
No train showed up.
I was waiting for 45 minutes.
You know why?
Just a minute before,
some other guy jumped on the tracks.
Nollendorfplatz.
Isn't it strange?
Hey little one!
Leave me alone!
Dear friends, please listen to me.
We all know this world
is reigned by idiots.
Bare idiots that
throw our world into chaos,
but voted by 'normal' people.
How is that possible, dear friends?
I have two.
There is just one explanation:
the voters are the victims.
Victims of a bunch of criminals
backed by the CIA
who send rays from outer space
to decompose human brains.
This is the truth, dear friends.
Or do you have another explanation?
See, there is only one salvation.
To stay underground,
protected from the rays.
Free metro!
Fight the monsters!
Fuck off, you little bastard!
Oh dear friend.
I feel your pain!
Let us read together!
I love the big cities
like Rome or Shanghai.
Jungles of mystery,
colour and joy!
New York, Calcutta
or Caracas,
where life is explodin'
in oceans of blood,
shit and pus.
In every city, I feel like home.
But this village is just not bearable.
This wall tomb, a zoo full of sqaures
Parochial disco show
Plastic Whopper, Nazi-scum
Tourist fake,
retirement refuge
The air is thick,
the boys are losers
and if you're singing out loud just once
the police comes
Ahh... damn shit!
Ahh... fuck!
I am so bored!
Berlin - I hate you!
Berlin - I need you!
Berlin - I love you!
Berlin!
Berlin - I really hate you
Berlin - I need you!
Berlin - I love you!
Berlin!
Berlin - Berlin, Berlin!
Berlin, I love you,
I need you, I love you!
Berlin-Berlin!
Hey honey,
what's the matter?
Greetings from Bambi.
He's still around?
I'm supposed to give you a big kiss.
You want something for free?
If you have something to spare.
I have nothing to spare.
Some fries would be great.
One-fifty!
Can I invite you for a coffee?
No.
Two coffee with cognac.
cognac!
Eight Mark. Pig!
The rest is tip?
- Yes.
I know everything about you.
Don't be afraid, I'm no cop.
But?
I could really help you!
First you need a proper stay.
What is this stuff?
I know the perfect shared flat.
Don't be afraid.
Women only.
I'm not going to a nursing home.
Not that. Do I look like that?
It's the opposite.
A great place.
No cops for sure.
You know this guy?
This is Johnny, from this Lady.
And where is he now?
He'll sing somewhere soon.
Great!
What's your name by the way?
- Risibisi.
- Long name.
But you can call me Airy-fairy.
Come on, no rampage!
But Trude!
You better stay away
from this little girl.
Alright!
Hey gals, what's the dealio?
Save your kisses,
I am pretty busy.
So, your little Johnny-Boy lives here
I will bring him to you,
dead or mashed.
Take it easy guys, see you!
Take care of that little one!
Ey Sunny!
I cannot forgive you
for meeting me and stealing my heart.
Ah, Hermann. Well?
You're late today.
Didn't find the way outta bed, huh?
It was a heavy battle
but victory was mine.
I am standing here as fit as a fiddle!
Hermann, you look like
Blake Caldon.
What?
Blake Caldon! I mean Denver!
You're drinking. At this time of the day!
Well, Hermann! Drunkards need that!
Cheers boozer!
Nonsense! Man has a free will.
Alcohol destroys mind and body.
You'll never be 75 like that, my boy.
Sixty-eight!
Can I ask you a question?
Take me as an example.
I've been living alone for 13 years.
4th Floor, no heating.
Six Mark per day.
Six Mark for would you mind'?
Food, drinks,
clothes, education,
shaving, luxury goods, savings.
- Funny guy!
- Six Mark.
But the metro is already two thirty.
I am not paying that.
They got me.
The bailiff came to my place.
He didn't found a single thing
that's worth 40 Mark.
Are you alright?
Well it might crack here and there,
but everything's in place.
You often in pain?
Listen, if you wake up in the morning
with no pain, you're dead.
A night like hell, you're dusty at heart
And you think now it's over,
there's a raging pain
A stab in the lung, a tearing, a cramp,
Yes, the body sends its regards,
so let's go into battle
Millimetre by Millimetre
and piece by piece
Every sock a triumph,
every sleeve a victory
The staircase conquered
Defied the social security office,
And once again smashed
the class enemy in the face.
It's wonderful to live, my child
It's wonderful to live
when a day begins anew
The heart wants to burst,
the soul burns up,
When the linden trees blossom
at Grlitzer Bahnhof
And the seagulls fly over the Wall
It's wonderful to live in Berlin
Bravo, Herrmann! Bravo!
You know pretty well
that you're on exclusion order!
Are you talking down to me?
Stop acting lippy-
Help! Murderer! Raid!
Gentlemen!
I'll send you the cleaning bill.
The exciting high point
of every Berlin visit.
A journey to Kreuzberg.
SO36.
There burns the airs,
there are you from the socks.
There is only one way to it.
A trip on the metro line 1.
"Take the A-train",
as they say in Berlin to it.
One, two, three, four:
Wittenbergplatz,
Nollendorfplatz
Kurfrstenstrasse,
Gleisdreieck
Mckernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
It burns, it gleams,
it stays in your head.
And now for our American friends.
One, two...
Wittenbergplatz,
Nollendorfplatz
Kurfrstenstrasse,
Gleisdreieck
Mckernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
It moves, it moves,
a platz im ohr
One, two, three
Wiittenbergplatz, Nollendorfplatz
Kurfrstenstrasse,
Gleisdreieck
Mckernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
Leave me alone!
It burns, it gleams,
it stays in your head.
Stays in your head.
Hey, Johnny.
Oh, Sunny.
Dammit Johnnie!
I know everything about you!
- Agatha. Look at that.
- Disgusting, scandalous!
- Drunk as fuck.
- Drunk? Drugs!
- Drug addict.
- In plain daylight in Berlin!
- Probably from the west!
- Sure.
I bet she's a hooker.
Martha!
Take your feet from the seat, you!
- Hey!
- Now! How dare you!
What's the matter?
"What's the matter?"
What a bitch!
Sitting there, boozed up,
full of drugs
We should call the police!
- Scandal.
- Scandal!
Get your ass from that seat!
Hurry up!
I would stay seated.
Kriemhild! Did you hear that?
What kind of person is this?
Some people
Maybe one of these "grey panthers".
Martha, what do you mean
by grey panthers?
Lotti, those terrifying retirees,
with their constant riots.
- Well, I remember.
- Rather "red panthers".
- Red rats!
- Red rats, good idea!
Better a red rat
than a brown blow fly.
Agathe, did you hear that?
I'm not listening to communists.
Right!
I won't get my hands dirty like that.
If I had to choose between brown and red,
the choice would be easy.
Right.
I am not talking about the jews.
Nobody knew about that.
But there were lot of positive things
in the 'Third Reich'.
- The Autobahn.
- The Autobahn.
Labour duty.
Back then, you weren't bothered
by antisocial subjects in the metro.
I'd really like to know
why this person is so run down.
Perhaps because my father wasn't a Nazi.
- Agathe, did you hear that?
- Who was a Nazi?
We've always been upright nationalists.
Excuse me, your father,
what kind of person was he?
Sozi.
Excuse me, but we also suffered
under the Nazi-regime.
Both of my brothers
died in World War ll.
If they wouldn't have voted for Hitler
in '33, they might be still alive
and could have enjoyed
the metro ride with you today.
We've survived the collapse,
the 48' blockade, the Wall,
the lefties and the squatters.
And 35 years social democracy.
So we might well survive this red pack.
Well ladys,
we can ignore those subjects.
We are the circlets of
the Reich's capital Berlin
Die buttercream of cream,
the queens of Tauentzien.
From KuDamm to KaDeWe
we are the cream in your coffee.
Like 50 years ago.
Like 50 years ago
Our spouses
were in high positions
In Wehrmacht,
government, justice.
The government is quite generous
It does not end with the grave, you see.
So we fight in their names
For neatness and discipline
Like 50 years ago
Eyes right, eyes left
and straight
Like 50 years ago
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
Defend Berlin
Otherwise
we would have been Russian
Chaotic and green
We don't care what's after us
'Cause we are elite
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
We, Wilmersdorf-widows
Berlin is flooded with Turks
and immigrant scum
There is only one solution,
get your sticks at hand
With god and the press
on our side
The scum will soon be wiped
Like 50 years ago
Schnedereng Schnedereng
schnederengtengteng!
Like 50 years ago
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
Defend Berlin,
Otherwise,
we would have been Russian
Chaotic and green
We don't care what's after us
'Cause we are elite
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
We, Wilmersdorf-widows!
We Zehlendorf, Dahlem,
Charlotteoburg, Steglitz,
Lichterfelde, Grunewald,
Wilmersdorf-widows
We Zehlendorf, Dahlem,
Charlottenburg, Steglitz,
Lichterfelde, Grunewald,
Wilmersdorf-widows
KaDeWe!
Let's go inside.
- What was this?
- Forget them!
Those chicks invest the Nazi-pension
of their spouses in cream cake.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You haven't changed at all!
You too!
When I was your age the war was just over
and I had only one thing in mind.
It's payday, fellas!
Now those brown pigs finally
get their punishment.
You thought so.
They were soon up the ladder again.
The presidents of the Employer
Association, Banks, Prime Ministers.
All that brown scum from then
and the sleazy conservatives from now,
all one spunk.
Take it easy, Ma!
Relax!
Are you
Yes?
Married?
Yes, yes.
Very happily-
And you?
Yes, very happily-
And how is she?
Great!
I mean, we go along very well.
What about him?
Well pretty different from you.
Older.
But we also go along very well.
I'm still in insurance.
But not in the same office
form five years ago,
432, one level up.
And you?
Well I am still devoted
to the revenue office.
I still have the same boss.
But in four years, he will be retired.
Well I have 19 years, seven months
and twelve days left.
Oh Titi!
Herbert please not!
You know, sometimes, I have these
strange dreams. It's always the same.
Alfred laughs at me.
Well
I shout at my boss
I keep shouting and shouting
and he's becoming smaller.
And then I say,
now I get my Alfred,
he'll snap you away!
And then he laughs,
opens the cupboard,
and Alfred steps out.
And then both of them laugh,
loud and mean.
Then suddenly, I'm naked.
And both of them pull their pants down
and I keep shouting, Alfred!
But he's just laughing
and I jump out of the window.
And then I wake up,
with Alfred lying next
to me and everything's fine.
Nollendorfplatz.
Oh, I need to change
for East-Berlin.
Over there, people are still listening.
They're just waiting for your chit chat.
Easy, my boy.
Take it easy and don't forget to relax.
Well, /..., well
G 'day!
Horst.
Well, /..., well
Would you mind me
disturbing you for a second?
You might think I belong to this mean pack
Who casually flirts with every girl
in the metro or anywhere
But I'll be the last one
To flirt with a girl
just because she is cute
Isn't he sweet?
But
- Say nothing!
At second glance
we might be down with each other
A smile, bad pick-up lines,
an accidental touch
and quickly we're off
Cafe', a walk in the park, cinema,
disco, kissing in front of the door
Warmth, illusions, projections,
dimensions is what you want
Rotations, electrons,
collisions, quadrophony
Chromosomes, silicones,
frustrations, depressions
Confessions, traditions,
confessions, traditions,
Erections, erections,
erections, erections
Loneliness, wine and beer
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
- But listen
- Say nothing!
Just imagine, after six weeks,
everything's well established
We chatter and eat,
sleep together
Everything seems to be just fine
The glitter's gone,
frustration's near
All the sparkles turn to mold
Money, love, dishes,
nothing but beef
- But it's just normal
- Wait a sec...
One lies, the other suffers,
one screams, the other's still
'Cause feelings are never clear
Another six month in vain
False concerns and all that stuff
Suddenly a break, end,
out of contempt
Hate, so freezingly cold,
it makes you shiver
You'll shiver
You're numb, dead, empty
Worse off than before
And lost so much valuable time
- But well no
- Did you just say something?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
- Hey, Maria!
- What are you doing here?
I've lost my bag.
What? Where have you last seen it?
At Bahnhof Zoo,
at the snack stall.
Well?
You've been there?
I haven't seen you there.
There was this dickhead.
He put something in my coffee.
This only happens
to villager gals like you.
I am going back to Bahnhof Zoo,
are you coming with me?
I am very disappointed from you.
I feel so sick.
Damn city! Nothing but weirdos!
You wanna go back home,
to mommy and daddy?
Sure, I am coming with you!
Hey! You're the singer from this morning!
Hey, you're that cutie
who's looking for Johnny!
Her Prince Charming.
You mean the one form this lady, right?
Lady?
Not with me!
Get it?
Who is talking to you?
What kind of lady?
Johnny's girlfriend.
She's a super rich real estate agent,
she's crazy for young musicians.
Who am I? You little wanker!
I can live without
your fucking low-pub.
Bravo! What did they do to you?
Back in the days did everything for him.
- This criminal!
- Right.
And you're a singer?
How do you become one, anyways?
No clue.
I used to be a social worker
but I quit.
It was crap.
You know what?
I think that's bullshit!
Yes, me too!
But you know what?
All this trouble with these kids
who'll never do a thing on their own,
except stealing, smoking.
And you run after them,
to their parents, the police, the court
and in the end,
they thank you with lies and insults.
"It's pointless, anyways."
"I'll just throw myself
in front of the metro!"
But not with me.
But you can't just leave them alone.
Well sure, I can.
I am not that stupid guy
who's rolling a doodah up the hill.
- Sisyphos.
- Really?
I'd be happy having such a job.
And not all kids are the same.
Anyways, I've spent a year
traveling around the world.
- Alone?
- Sure thing!
There are two billion men in the world.
Why do some guy at home?
Why isn't this opening?
Hey, what's happening?
Every time during rush hour.
As if they needed an audience.
Don't go!
Maybe it's just a bag on the rails.
- Do you really believe that?
- Stop freaking out!
Look! The hat!
Hi...
I was worrying about you.
Well, my farewell would be sophisticated.
- Sorry.
- Believe me!
Wait a second.
Shitty moment for a flirt
Well, she brought us together, right?
Please stay.
Damn, how I'd like to thank you
Shit!
I don't get it!
Why is she doing that all of a sudden?
Feels like one of her jokes
Everything was fine!
I've said to her, she could stay with me.
Damn Kleister, it wasn't your fault!
She had so many other problems.
How could you let her die
if you know so well about her problems?
- You're just another government official!
- Not anymore!
I know you!
Talking shit is the only thing you do.
The squares are happy.
Now she lies there.
One less, right?!
I have something for you.
She yanked that off from me,
this dumb bitch.
Fuck off, you pigs!
Wanker!
Kleister, don't act like the Allies!
Is this from you?
How do you know him?
How can you get so wasted?
Wasted?
That's easy.
Get wasted,
that's the easiest thing to do.
She did never obey
A miscarriage from the beginning
A scandalous consumer
A pain for all officials
Her craze for freedom was a crime
Thank god, for our thick fur
Thank god for our thick skin
She was living like a leaf in the wind
Credulous like a child
She didn't give a damn about Work
Making out was her life goal
Her craze for love was a crime
Thank god for our thick skin
Thank god for our thick skin
She didn't know what to do
The best was not good enough for her
The miserable world made her suffer
You can't imagine
Her craze for compassion was a crime
Thank god for our thick skin
Thank god for our thick skin
She just left for good
Without saying goodbye
She was roaming around before
Never asked where
Her whole life was shit
She was longing
for something eternally wonderful
But where might she find that?
Again it's colder
Sometimes it's pretty hard
But leaving just like that
It's not the way
She was hopeless,
from the beginning.
That's not true.
That's never true.
Life means hoping
till the end
Hoping for love,
a little piece of luck
Everything could happen
It could happen today
A word, softly whispered
A big bang
or a little wonder
Hope is eternal
And can always be fulfilled
Oh yeah!
That's bloody, bloody insane!
Always be fulfilled
Wow!
- Are you worried about something?
- No!
Well, you think about something.
No, what the heck should it be?
Well that's what I am asking.
There's nothing, and over!
You don't want to tell me.
Now he has to pull the gun.
There is nothing, really.
Enough.
- Is it because of me?
- No!
Wrong!
Then what?
See!
I am fine, don't worry!
Stop lying, you coward!
You just confessed!
What did I do?
That there is something
but not because of me.
"But not because of me".
Wonderful!
Say, why are you following me
the whole day?
Me
I write stories, nothing special.
And when I saw you,
my fantasy suddenly exploded.
Well, didn't seem to be enough
for hitting on her.
Well, I mean I tried.
Like that
Reality can be disappointing at times.
I'm sorry for you
but there is nothing!
Why so aggressive?
I am not aggressive!
Well?
You don't love me anymore.
Wonderful.
It has nothing to do with it.
- Why are blushing?
- Are you craze or what?
Well, talk to her!
Instead of staring at her buttocks
like a carp with his mouth open.
- Who?
- Well stop acting.
You mean her?
You must have lost your mind.
First, I looked somewhere else
and second
C'mon! Just flirt with her!
There's nothing to it!
But then own it, loser,
instead of slobbering like a voyeur
and lying all the time.
Nice, right?
Finally something happened.
Super dive on the metro rail.
And lots of bug-eyed corpses.
All of them died a 1000 times more
than the mashed body on the rail.
Boy, you're whacked out of your skull!
Every week there's shit
like this happening.
And now the day's just ruined
for everyone.
Just waiting all day long,
too late for work,
too late at home.
- That's the deal!
-Indeed.
Good for you!
That's a good reason
to booze up before all that.
You just bore yourself to death anyways!
And you both, doesn't matter
where you scratch your eyes out.
Well, he's right.
Evelyn, please!
Evelyn, please!
And all because of these drugheads.
Hey Folks, she was no addict.
But?
She was love sick.
Or maybe she was desperately
looking for a job.
You crazy or what?!
Her whole life,
Lumpi was never looking for a job.
And why did she kill herself so cruelly?
Such a young person.
Well, to shock us!
See, now we are sitting here,
talking about her.
She'll be happy watching us from above.
No way! What do we have to do
with the death of a drug addict?
I'd like to know that.
You're addicted yourself,
you pill-snipe!
Back off! Right now!
Or do you want to witness a murder?
Rampage!
Tosser!
Grain-shitter!
What's the matter?
The cold is creeping in
And loneliness
Poverty and disgust
Fear and suffering
Rockets and plagues
Venom at the pole
Wealth of the wealthy
And Kohl's grin
Like calves we're let
to the slaughter bank
Scoffed and derided
and nothing ever changes
Nothing!
Nothing ever changes!
Bloody madness!
I must be dreaming.
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
There is only one salvation.
Fight the monsters!
Free metro rides!
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
My friend Corpse.
Say hello to Corpse.
Look in his beautiful eyes!
Nice!
You see, she's nice to you!
Leave me alone!
Well, where do we have our bag?
It's none of your business.
Did you hear that, Corpse?
I know where your bag is.
At my place.
Great, right?
Awesome!
Will you ever trust me?
Once you leave me.
Okay, little princess.
I only want to help you.
We could have a lot of fun together!
Zoologischer Garten.
Wait!
Get in
Mkernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
It pings! It pongs!
It gongs in your ear!
- Hey, Airy-fairy!
- Hey!
- You know what happened to me?
- What you doing here?
I've been followed.
I am looking for a place to sleep.
You know something?
I have none myself.
You have no home?
Sure, you wouldn't believe!
The old man just kicked me out.
- Why?
- Because I am feisty
lazy
phoney ...
depraved
and a little piggy!
Is he right?
Parents are always right.
And now he's in trouble with my old lady
and hopes that I am coming back.
- Hurry up!
- Okay. I am coming!
Over there!
Get yourself one.
Just a can!
A can
Hey Bambi, are you okay?
More than okay, princess!
Salute. Bambi.
- Where did you get this from?
- Trude gave it to me.
Salute. Socket.
Sunny, I found Johnny.
Really, where is he?
Your Johnny? ls coming.
Go on, tell me!
Be patient, just a matter of minutes.
What happened to his girlfriend?
Princess, I promised you to bring Johnny,
the rest is your business.
Really? You're meeting one of your guys?
- So I can sleep at his place.
- Yes!
You've gone mental?
Better go with Bambi.
Okay, let's wait a moment
until we sort out our beds.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, yes?
Somethings is wrong here!
You're just doing an act.
Act?
Well, that's right.
The great happy end!
God, Sonny,
you're so lucky to have met me.
Shit!
- I am going crazy!
- I am going crazy!
Well, this beer is a lot right?
I am so sorry for my mate,
but he has bumped his head.
Life is hard, like dry bread.
Well, did I say dry
Shut up and just take one!
Very charming!
What's the occasion?
Engagement!
Who's engaged?
We have the bride
but the groom is still unclear.
Men! Where can you find some, nowadays?
Herrmann, such an honour!
Happy to see you!
Miss Gertrud said I am invited
to a little celebration.
But if this is it
No it's only the meeting point.
Wait a sec, Herrmann!
Who'd have known
Where is that pregnant hussy?
And where is Johnny?
Oh, it's her!
Little rascal.
Short explanation!
He looks like our daddy.
It's 'cause of the booze.
They might be your kids
you don't know of, huh?
Boozer-kids.
God knows
-And now?
- Listen
I am unemployed.
Lonely.
Homeless. Unemployed.
Now you need to throw
your money at us.
Since you're the lady.
Lady? Me?
Go ahead! Throw it to us!
So much money! All for me!
We'll have a feast!
You have a Mark to spare?
Well that's something.
Stop making fun of us!
It's fine, okay. Relax!
Nothing's fine!
Rabbit-fur!
Cut!
Natalie!
My dream! There you are!
Where have you been?
Come my little angel!
Everything's gonna be fine!
What's wrong?
Don't know!
But Natalie, sure you know!
Just remember!
Close your eyes
and think of how nice it was.
Just follow your feelings
and everything's gonna be fine.
I've told you!
Well, how lucky he must be that we met.
I knew it.
Great story and
Lovely girls!
What did you just say?
A super hot guy!
A super hot guy!
Please hold me
Kiss me
Suddenly I know
Where I have to go
It's like a dream
But you're real
Totally normal and nice
And wonderful
Hand in hand together
I roam the streets
Until it realizes our luck!
I was freezing so much
I was so lonely
Today I just want to be
there for you!
Bravo!
Cheers to the bride.
"Please hold me".
"I was so lonely."
" | was freezing so much."
Men!
You're the only one who likes me.
- C'mon!
- It's true!
- Are you worried about something?
- No, nothing!
You're one lucky guy to have met us!
Hell yeah!
Pity, without me.
Hand in hand together
I roam the streets of town
Until it realizes our luck!
I was freezing so much
I was so lonely
Today I just want to be
there for you!
Oh my dear friends,
know the bliss of love.
But knoweth though,
not every love is meant to last.
Monsters lurk on every corner.
In you, around you
and above you.
- Line 1
- Do yourself some good!
- Line 1
- Go ahead, take the metro again!
- Line 1
- Do yourself some good!
- Line 1
Spare yourself the TV...
"TAZ" and "FAZ"
Cinema, peep-show,
zoo and jail
Trashy novel, ghost train
Go ahead, take the metro again!
Subway dream and metro flair
Charing Cross and Leister Square
Montparnasse, Vincennes-Neuilly
Bleeker Street and Bowery
- Go ahead, take the metro again
- Line 1
- Do yourself some good!
- Line 1
- Go ahead, take the metro again
- Line 1
Just look at these people!
Commuters between
frustration and hell
Fug and cold,
booze and cell
Employment agency,
asylum and gas supply
Go ahead, just take the metro again!
Then you'll see
what life is like
When longing
eats at your brain
When hope
is a lottery
And every dream
revolves around revenge
- Go ahead, just take the metro again!
- Line 1
- Take a look at the people!
- Line 1
- Go ahead, just take the metro again!
- Line 1
And you're getting mad, man!
When someone's rambling
on "economic recovery" again
Burping "trust",
"luck" and "prosperity"
Swearing by
growth Without end
But never takes
the tube in a lifetime
The haloed mafia
Sleazy fraud
and reunification crap
Shit all over
this bubble, man
You'd better take the tube!
Shit all over
this bubble, man
- And better take the tube!
- Line 1
- Go ahead, just take the metro again!
- Line 1
- Do yourself some good!
- Line 1
Go ahead,
just take the metro once again...
You don't do such thing!
Baaah!
Berlin, you sole city on earth
Where the East
creeps from all corners
And thus, the sun never sets
But always rises!
From moaning Schneberg
to stamping Tempelhof
From sick Lankwitz
To fragile Moabit
I'll sing your song
I'll sing your song
I'll sing your song, Berlin!
All aboard, please!
Hey, you, wait a second
Eh, what are you staring at, huh'?
Could you tell me
how I can get to Kreuzberg?
Good God,
That was plenty
Hello Miss, young Lady!
Hold it,
Just one question, if you excuse.
I need to get
To my mortally sick sister
And I'm not so well on my feet
And I lack
money for the tube.
'Cause I'm out of work
and without shelter.
Well, I've got nothing either!
You think I'm a trickster, huh?
It's just because
of my sister It's Cancer!
Wait, the tube costs 2 Mark 30.
2 Mark 30? Then I need it myself.
But this is theft!
Did you see that, folks?
- I swear!
- We saw it!
With thanks.
My bottle!
That's not your bottle.
My bottle!
I
didn't touch your bottle.
- You swigged it!
- I didn't!
I put it back into your pocket,
like Lulli!
Son of a bitch!
You will want to ask Lulli. I
You're not the type of person who robs
a nodding drunkard of his last sip!
That's bad!
But I didn't!
Worse than stealing baby food!
You're an animal!
Listen! I defended your bottle!
You bastard!
Listen to me
or I punch you in the face!
You bastard!
Stop it!
Erich, stop it!
Your head is already mush.
You dirty pig, you!
Erich, you dumb-ass!
The cops
Ohohohoh!
Hey girl. sot a Mark?
So, this wog one over here
owes me a beer, okay?
And if the cash doesn't
slide in right now, he's dead!
- It's a matter of life and death!
- Very funny!
Great, no worries
One less foreigner.
Bullshit!
What about now?
- Nope!
- Where did you just come from?
- Where did you come from?
- From Neuklln. Know it?
She doesn't know Neuklln!
15 kilometres,
just jogging, get it?
Night marathon! Coolest thing ever, eh!
- Are you stupid?
- No, just work-shy.
All day long,
it's all the same, girl, get it?
It's way better at night anyways!
You don't run into anyone,
the squares are asleep,
and you can easily
walk from pub to pub.
Aren't they closed then?
No, not in Berlin.
They're never closed.
So that the drunkards
don't run off to the West, understand?
Gotta get
to Kreuzberg now.
Hey, are you Turkish?
- How do I get there?
- Well, jog!
Dude, just tell me!
Hey, tell me, what's your name?
Alice.
- Alice!
- Alice!
Alicita!
Chiquita Banana!
What a jerk!
So damn bright here!
What a bloody city is this,
where the sun rises
at six in the morning,
Ah, my legs. Ow!
What are you staring at?
Dang, look at that doll,
she stinks of dough.
By Allah, my sister!
That's not true!
Ran away from home, huh?
Nah, why?
I'm just visiting someone here.
I thought the same
when I came here 20 years ago.
And now I have
everything I ever wanted.
Car, phone,
a villa in Grunewald, men.
Men?!
I'm sick of all this. Yeah
If you're up shit creek,
call me.
- Me too!
- Me too!
No work!
Work Since I work,
I'm surrounded by jerks.
Why do you guys wanna work?
Bugger off.
Get drunk, wankers!
Ow, bloody bum!
Where can I get a taxi?
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Kreuzberg!
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Sorry, which way to Kreuzberg?
Got some money?
Piss off, pussy!
Hello, which way to Kreuzberg?
Better go work, tart!
Poor Germany.
I'll take you there, babe.
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Don't know. Don't wanna know!
Can you tell me which way to
Just follow your nose
Which way to Kreuzberg?
Just follow the smell of kebab.
- Hey, which way to
- Understand, Line 1, girl.
Schlesisches Tor, girl!
Kreuzberg nights are long!
The door snaps shut
The train departs
Mind the gap
Too close again
It was always like that.
Mind the gap!
And wait
The swing in the yard
The merry-go-round
Mind the gap!
I'm not that fast!
It was always like that.
Mind the gap!
And wait.
- The flat with a balcony
- The woman for life
- The really good job
- Taken already, taken already
Mind the gap!
It's always too close.
The door snaps shut.
The train departs.
I figured the rules long ago.
Mind the gap and wait!
- Waiting
- For the next crowded train
- Waiting
- For the next small sip
- Waiting
- For the dickheads at rush hour
For a life as empty as a torn sieve!
- Waiting
- For this day to pass
- Waiting
- For my next cardiac arrest
- Waiting
- For the last big bang
For rheumatism, cancer, brain damage.
To Kreuzberg?
- Waiting
- Well there!
For what?
- Waiting
- For some explosion?
- Waiting
- In the filthy underground shaft
While the sun is always shining outside.
Waiting!
Good morning!
Can I sit there?
You forgot your suitcase.
Mind the "crazy"!
Is this the way to Kreuzberg?
To Kreuzberg?
All deaf and dumb here!
Wow, that's not
an underground at all!
We're on the ground!
Insane!
You sit across me
And look past me
I see you every morning
And sometimes at three
You seem nice at times
Other times you're a pain
But mostly I don't care about you.
Don't give a damn.
But mostly I don't care about you.
Don't give a damn.
You sit across me every week
One hour vis-a-vis.
With a stiff face
And wiggle with your knee.
Who knows where you work?
Factory, office, eatery
I don't care.
Don't give a damn.
I don't care.
Don't give a damn.
- I'm imagining your tits.
- And you might be from Britz.
- Your tits?
- From Britz?
- Maybe you're a man-eater
- Maybe you're a wife beater
- Man-eater?
- Wife beater?
- Maybe you are into me?
- I dreamt of sex with you on me!
- On you?
- Into you?
Maybe you've been lonely for too long
Maybe you can be very tender
You sit across from me
and look past me
I see you every morning
And sometimes at three
You're a scrap of the underground
I don't give a shit about you.
And if you stay away once,
I guess I won't notice
And if you stay away once,
I guess I won't notice
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame
What a sha-a-aaaaa-me...
Got a Mark?
You're the fifth one!
Does your mom know you're here?
- You're so lucky.
- Huh?
How can a chick be that lucky?
You really hit the jackpot!
What jackpot?
Well, that you met me!
You gotta imagine
Hundreds of Weest chicks
bunk to Kreuzberg each year
where they all just end up very badly.
All of them!
But you get out of the metro
at eight in the morning.
And who do you meet? Me!
Tho' I've never been up this early, yo.
Well, just call me Bambi.
Everyone knows Bambi here.
And who are you?
I'm Sunny.
Where you from, Sunny?
From well, you don't know it anyways.
I have to go, my boyfriend is waiting.
Okay, I'm happy to wait.
By the way,
do you know where Andersenstrasse is?
Andersenstrasse?
Ey Sunny, there is no
Andersenstrasse in Kreuzberg.
Of course there is,
I know that!
Laters!
What a lucky chick!
Ey, Kleister!
Bambi Bambule!
Look , Lumpi, your Bambi!
Not in the sky! There, on the stairs!
I'll come up, eh.
This way, Lumpi.
Bloody awesome! Good ol' Bambi!
Hey mate, how's business?
Well, sucks.
Lumpi!
Jeez, are you drunk or something?
Can't get rid of this chick, yo.
She clings like a leech.
Just wants to live on my couch.
You're such a freak!
Nothing but trouble with these chicks.
How come it gets so bright
in the middle of the night?
Lumpi, keep your boobs in!
Sorry?
Yes?
I would like to know
where Andersenstrasse is.
Andersenstrasse?
Nope, don't know it.
Can you tell me
where Andersenstrasse is?
Andersenstrasse?
I know Andersenstrasse.
But it's in Krefeld, right?
Ey, Sunny!
Dude, where'd you get this chick?
I told you, there's no Andersenstrasse.
Your guy totally screwed you!
- Dammit!
- Stop it!
Is this woman sick or something?
Listen, if there's anything I hate,
it's cops or bitches crying, all right?
Was it your first? Well, the first one
you got it on with, right?
Lovesick, eh?
Kleister, how long did you
whine about Maggie?
For 'IO months I wanted to
kill myself because of that bitch.
Rad, huh?
Listen princess,
here's a lesson for life.
Love is the most epic trip,
eh, the strongest action!
The greatest and most beautiful thing
in this bloody world. Watch it:
When a chick's
In a good mood I leave everything.
We crash into each other
And the world's beautiful.
We kiss, lick,
Eat each other from head to toe
And we scuffle, screw, fuck
Until the water taps break down
But when big fat love awakens
Then, the fun is over, then it's stress
So when big fat love awakens
Then do a bunk!
Get lost! Otherwise, good night!
The great love
ls disgusting and asocial
Thousands of women
Look at you and Want it all
But you let them starve for one chick
That's just annoying, anyways,
And babbles that she doesn't trust you.
'Cause when big fat love awakens
Future plans are being made
'Cause love actually means
Wall unit, desert red, pension award!
Oh, when big fat love awakens
The state turns you
Into a zombie in the twinkling of an eye
Into a lottery junky
With poo in your fortune cookie
TV-spoiled, consumption infarct
and precautionary cancer!
TV-spoiled, consumption infarct
and precautionary cancer!
All right, princess?
And what happens
when you're pregnant?
Expensive!
What's the name
of your prince charming?
Johnnie.
The rock singer, don't you know him?
Everyone calls him
Johnny-Boy around here.
Johnnie-Boy!
Here. But don't look at the back!
Hey, that mug looks familiar somehow!
Not to me.
And how did you meet him?
He was performing
with his band in my hometown.
He flirted with me the whole concert.
It was utter madness!
A hole-in-one, huh?
It was real love!
Our plan was
to move in together
if I couldn't bear it at home anymore.
I'll find him for you!
Well, dude, tough luck!
Now you'll have to deal with Bambi.
- Psst! Customers.
- Shut up!
Listen, you'll drive back
to Bahnhof Zoo now!
Just go to the burger lady there.
Give her a big kiss from Bambi
and she'll stuff you till you burst.
I'll join you later.
I've got a job to do.
What kind of job?
Crooked deals, huh?
On the contrary,
I am a drug consultant.
"God loves a good dealer".
That's what the Bible says.
Hallelujah, laters!
What the hell are you doing again?
Ouch!
Go away!
That's no raspberry sauce!
Schlesisches Tor, terminus.
All out, please.
Why so noisy!
I'll let you crash at my place.
Full of wogs here.
And always a bun in the oven,
like rabbits.
Poor Germany.
We slave away to death
and they just fuck to get money.
Always bonking hard for those child
benefits, like rabbits, from our taxes.
That's how we finance
the demise of the German people!
Are we still in Berlin
or in Anatolia, or what?
Every fourth child
is a Turk bastard already.
That is being supported.
But the pension funds are empty.
Boy oh boy, if I had a say.
Yes, to...
Nah, no gassing.
I still have a heart.
A clean deportation within 12 hours,
just like the Poles did with us.
And then throw them in the Black Sea.
Gosh, what will become
of our beautiful Berlin?
It's self-defence.
"Volksdeutschland".
Right to self-determination,
even for Germans.
Are you crazy?
Finally.
Air polluter.
Merhaba.
- Merhaba.
- Merhaba.
Damn Nazi.
Put it out!
Put it out, immediately!
I said, put it out!
Off with that cigarettes, bastard!
Smoking prohibited.
Here, rules.
This, Deutschland.
Risibi?
Bisi?
Do you have
A lighter?
Yes, take mine!
Oh, thanks!
You're heading to school?
What? Do we look so retarded?
School is outdated
Twice a week
for a little bit of fun, right Bisi?
You said it.
'Cause we are just so awesome.
Those poor teachers
have their issues with us.
Stop smoking, immediately!
Ah, those men just
keep losing it with us, every time.
I think I can handle gals like you!
And then those false hopes
You cannot tell me how to
Moral troll!
Look at this little uncle,
how he's touching those little girls.
But you're so damn right,
I think smoking's not good.
Come on, grandpa,
take a seat.
A little exciting, huh?
And stop pinching
little girls in the bottom.
Look at him!
Yuck!
What's that wanker?
I don't know!
He's been following me since the morning.
He might be a little crazy.
- Bisi?
- Risi?
What are you doing with him?
My mother said, I should kick
all voyeurs and wankers in their nuts.
First with the knee.
Pudding.
And then with the boot tip.
Splash.
- Awesome.
- Yeah.
But how do you recognize
voyeurs and wankers?
Very simple: Coat, hat and
sneaking around in the metro.
Just a moment.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey
Okay, Ladies...
See ya!
See ya!
See ya!
But where are the kids?
Why should I know?
How can you sit down,
while the kids are outside?
- Stefan! Andreas!
- I think I'm losing it, or what.
- Risi! Here!
Shit fuck, crap!
Hey?
Well, that's all I ever longed for
Go on like that and you'll soon
be on your own with them.
Stefan! Andreas!
You want me to join?
First you spoil them
and undermine my education
and then you blame me
when they do not toe the line.
Just like your mother, huh?
Leave my mother out of that.
If you screw those little beasts
while I am at work,
it has nothing to do with my mother.
You and your work again
What's your name?
Momo. And you're Bisi?
Nonsense. Only today.
We just name ourselves
however we feel like.
Yesterday we were Airy and Fairy.
In the club, we are Fancy and Nancy.
And when we are really up for rampage
we are Remmi and Demmi
or Rambo and Zambo.
And today we are Risi and Bisi.
You know the Risibisi.
Leave it.
It was only one beer or so.
I leave it when I want to.
Stefan, you piggy, stop that spitting.
Who taught you that?
Don't you smile like that
or I'll let you have it!
Boozing and wisecracking
That's what you do.
The married ones
must be out of their minds, huh?
But if you wanna have children?
Ughs, children.
Hey you little rug-rat.
What does this aunty have
in her baggy?
Such sweety stuff.
Where is he?
Do you want it?
Look it's up here!
No, there.
Andreas! Back off from that aunty.
Dieter! Do something! You loser!
Leave it! We have chocolate at home.
Stop laughing!
Beating is
the only thing you know, right'?
I've had enough!
This is my day off
and nobody will ruin it for me,
not even you.
Dieter! Dieter stay.
Dieter! Get out you sleepy-heads, now!
Dieter! Dieter!
Andreas,
you have to get off! Andreas!
Andreas, Andreas!
Hey, you, he)' Yo
listen, just listen to me
I want to tell you something about me
I've never done that
except with you
Maybe it'll help you,
I don't know you
I just see how sad you are
But your sadness will end
I know that
from the look of your face
soon you'll be proud and happy again
'Cause you're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
You're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
I always used to be such a wart hog
Full of pimples,
too sweaty, too fat and too small
A klutz, half blind,
grouchy and godsmacked
And I didn't even finish 9th grade
My mother's a drunkard,
I was her biggest pain
I hate her like she hates me
But your sadness will end
I know that
from the look of your face
soon you'll be proud and happy again
'Cause you're beautiful,
even beautiful when you cry
You're beautiful
even beautiful when you cry
I have no loving and caring grandma
Not even a rat, a dog or a friend
My future is one filthy endless chute
Full of guck and muck
and black as coal
How fine that sometimes an angel
Like you appears
And cries for me
Sorry for bothering you straight away.
No, I think it's good.
But if that isn't even allowed anymore,
I mean talking to each other,
then it's over.
Like a coffin dodger,
you'll never see the sun anymore.
You can knock as much as you can,
no one cares.
There are plenty of them.
You're lovesick'?
Those pigs.
In public transport..
But well, I am not in pain,
I don't have to starve or freeze
Most humans in the world
are not doing so well.
Well
You wanna be good for something.
First, it was so thin...
I want to be needed.
The defecation,
not fluid, but solid,
but thin as earthworms.
There was blood, but much later.
And I say, Karl,
that might be an ulcer.
And he's like,
no, those are just my hemorrhoids.
And now, he has a stoma.
The whole rectum, gone.
You always
have to check your defecation.
Is it soft, solid or fluid.
Also the colour is important.
I'm a real expert.
Well, I've been having
pretty yellowish poop for two days.
Almost like vanilla sauce,
but with little globs.
But now, I ask myself,
if this could be pus
like with my open leg.
Tell me
was it really that nice
with your boyfriend?
I mean like true love
Who can witness those things, nowadays?
I mean
Whipped cream for a lifetime
is not for you, right?
But what if I'll get pregnant?
A little baby from such great love?
Look, my mother hates me.
She was raped by some guy
and then she had me.
They only come to me
when they are drunk as fuck.
But I love him
and I am still looking for him.
But if I find him and it's really over
I'll kill myself.
Are you stupid?
This will be over soon.
Even if you still can't believe it now.
You'll have something even bigger.
Why should you know?
I just know!
I am a witch.
You'll find yourself a guy.
The hell I find, I am looking for a job.
Eldercare, this would be
the job of my dreams.
Ugh, washing old people.
Why not?
I just can't stand old people.
Really?
And what will you be doing for a living?
Become a singer.
Johnny, my friend,
always wanted me to sing in his band.
Singer, bullshit.
Shit! The inspectors.
Good morning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I see your tickets please.
We know all the excuses. They'll be soon
available in your next bookshop.
- What shall we do?
- Wait and see!
Once the inspectors were tired old men
Every passengers held his breath
when he appeared
And those sinners without tickets
followed them trembling and ashamed
Today we squall the train
with 12 of us on patrol
Backed by the police
and facing an idiot
Close combat and no flank guard
But victory will be ours
What do you mean with "inspection"?
It's war!
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Metro jungle war
Ah, mister inspector
Come a bit closer
You see how
they twitch their noses
Bah!
Long-term-unemployment
in every corner
Moral trolls, homo pigs
Anti-socials, communists
Negros, drags, feminists!
Is this a rat nest?
To Siberia, with the plague
Berlin is already contaminated
Gassing! Heads off!
Enough is enough!
Santa Santa-inspector
Please don't look so mean to me
Look at you,
you are just a loser yourself
Only the minors you blame
Don't you feel ashamed?
Inspector dickhead
Have you lost your mind?
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Old ladies turn to hyenas
Schoolgirls kicking with their shoes
Gentle Indians snarl their teeth
Unemployed punch in a flash
Soon there 'II be a fare increase,
you will see
Then they frisk the pack with 120 men
Put your hands up!"
"Tickets please!"
"Hands on the Wall!"
Or I'll let you have it with a gun
Ole'!
Me thought, here no fear
but so much hate and police.
Only want to be human
Must have lost my head
deciding to come to this country
Santa Santa-inspector
Please don't look so mean
Look at you,
you are just a loser yourself
Only the minors you blame
Don't you feel ashamed?
Inspector dickhead
Have you lost your mind?
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Me-tro jungle War
Jungle-war!
Look who's there!
Watch out, the inspectors!
" EY Rambo)!
- Ey Zambo!
Where you heading at?
What is it?
Again this strange guy with the hat.
We have plenty of those guys here.
They just sit in their caves,
doors locked six times
and leave the flat
only to buy dog food.
There are people who dream in their bed
and others in the metro.
Damn, I need to change.
Can I go with you?
NO way!
Where are you in two hours?
At Bahnhof Zoo at the snack stall.
Ok, see you there!
Don't you dare to stay away.
I too wanted to jump on the tracks.
Kurfilrstenstrasse,
we just passed it.
You know what?
No train showed up.
I was waiting for 45 minutes.
You know why?
Just a minute before,
some other guy jumped on the tracks.
Nollendorfplatz.
Isn't it strange?
Hey little one!
Leave me alone!
Dear friends, please listen to me.
We all know this world
is reigned by idiots.
Bare idiots that
throw our world into chaos,
but voted by 'normal' people.
How is that possible, dear friends?
I have two.
There is just one explanation:
the voters are the victims.
Victims of a bunch of criminals
backed by the CIA
who send rays from outer space
to decompose human brains.
This is the truth, dear friends.
Or do you have another explanation?
See, there is only one salvation.
To stay underground,
protected from the rays.
Free metro!
Fight the monsters!
Fuck off, you little bastard!
Oh dear friend.
I feel your pain!
Let us read together!
I love the big cities
like Rome or Shanghai.
Jungles of mystery,
colour and joy!
New York, Calcutta
or Caracas,
where life is explodin'
in oceans of blood,
shit and pus.
In every city, I feel like home.
But this village is just not bearable.
This wall tomb, a zoo full of sqaures
Parochial disco show
Plastic Whopper, Nazi-scum
Tourist fake,
retirement refuge
The air is thick,
the boys are losers
and if you're singing out loud just once
the police comes
Ahh... damn shit!
Ahh... fuck!
I am so bored!
Berlin - I hate you!
Berlin - I need you!
Berlin - I love you!
Berlin!
Berlin - I really hate you
Berlin - I need you!
Berlin - I love you!
Berlin!
Berlin - Berlin, Berlin!
Berlin, I love you,
I need you, I love you!
Berlin-Berlin!
Hey honey,
what's the matter?
Greetings from Bambi.
He's still around?
I'm supposed to give you a big kiss.
You want something for free?
If you have something to spare.
I have nothing to spare.
Some fries would be great.
One-fifty!
Can I invite you for a coffee?
No.
Two coffee with cognac.
cognac!
Eight Mark. Pig!
The rest is tip?
- Yes.
I know everything about you.
Don't be afraid, I'm no cop.
But?
I could really help you!
First you need a proper stay.
What is this stuff?
I know the perfect shared flat.
Don't be afraid.
Women only.
I'm not going to a nursing home.
Not that. Do I look like that?
It's the opposite.
A great place.
No cops for sure.
You know this guy?
This is Johnny, from this Lady.
And where is he now?
He'll sing somewhere soon.
Great!
What's your name by the way?
- Risibisi.
- Long name.
But you can call me Airy-fairy.
Come on, no rampage!
But Trude!
You better stay away
from this little girl.
Alright!
Hey gals, what's the dealio?
Save your kisses,
I am pretty busy.
So, your little Johnny-Boy lives here
I will bring him to you,
dead or mashed.
Take it easy guys, see you!
Take care of that little one!
Ey Sunny!
I cannot forgive you
for meeting me and stealing my heart.
Ah, Hermann. Well?
You're late today.
Didn't find the way outta bed, huh?
It was a heavy battle
but victory was mine.
I am standing here as fit as a fiddle!
Hermann, you look like
Blake Caldon.
What?
Blake Caldon! I mean Denver!
You're drinking. At this time of the day!
Well, Hermann! Drunkards need that!
Cheers boozer!
Nonsense! Man has a free will.
Alcohol destroys mind and body.
You'll never be 75 like that, my boy.
Sixty-eight!
Can I ask you a question?
Take me as an example.
I've been living alone for 13 years.
4th Floor, no heating.
Six Mark per day.
Six Mark for would you mind'?
Food, drinks,
clothes, education,
shaving, luxury goods, savings.
- Funny guy!
- Six Mark.
But the metro is already two thirty.
I am not paying that.
They got me.
The bailiff came to my place.
He didn't found a single thing
that's worth 40 Mark.
Are you alright?
Well it might crack here and there,
but everything's in place.
You often in pain?
Listen, if you wake up in the morning
with no pain, you're dead.
A night like hell, you're dusty at heart
And you think now it's over,
there's a raging pain
A stab in the lung, a tearing, a cramp,
Yes, the body sends its regards,
so let's go into battle
Millimetre by Millimetre
and piece by piece
Every sock a triumph,
every sleeve a victory
The staircase conquered
Defied the social security office,
And once again smashed
the class enemy in the face.
It's wonderful to live, my child
It's wonderful to live
when a day begins anew
The heart wants to burst,
the soul burns up,
When the linden trees blossom
at Grlitzer Bahnhof
And the seagulls fly over the Wall
It's wonderful to live in Berlin
Bravo, Herrmann! Bravo!
You know pretty well
that you're on exclusion order!
Are you talking down to me?
Stop acting lippy-
Help! Murderer! Raid!
Gentlemen!
I'll send you the cleaning bill.
The exciting high point
of every Berlin visit.
A journey to Kreuzberg.
SO36.
There burns the airs,
there are you from the socks.
There is only one way to it.
A trip on the metro line 1.
"Take the A-train",
as they say in Berlin to it.
One, two, three, four:
Wittenbergplatz,
Nollendorfplatz
Kurfrstenstrasse,
Gleisdreieck
Mckernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
It burns, it gleams,
it stays in your head.
And now for our American friends.
One, two...
Wittenbergplatz,
Nollendorfplatz
Kurfrstenstrasse,
Gleisdreieck
Mckernbrcke,

Leave me alone!
It burns, it gleams,
it stays in your head.
Stays in your head.
Hey, Johnny.
Oh, Sunny.
Dammit Johnnie!
I know everything about you!
- Agatha. Look at that.
- Disgusting, scandalous!
- Drunk as fuck.
- Drunk? Drugs!
- Drug addict.
- In plain daylight in Berlin!
- Probably from the west!
- Sure.
I bet she's a hooker.
Martha!
Take your feet from the seat, you!
- Hey!
- Now! How dare you!
What's the matter?
"What's the matter?"
What a bitch!
Sitting there, boozed up,
full of drugs
We should call the police!
- Scandal.
- Scandal!
Get your ass from that seat!
Hurry up!
I would stay seated.
Kriemhild! Did you hear that?
What kind of person is this?
Some people
Maybe one of these "grey panthers".
Martha, what do you mean
by grey panthers?
Lotti, those terrifying retirees,
with their constant riots.
- Well, I remember.
- Rather "red panthers".
- Red rats!
- Red rats, good idea!
Better a red rat
than a brown blow fly.
Agathe, did you hear that?
I'm not listening to communists.
Right!
I won't get my hands dirty like that.
If I had to choose between brown and red,
the choice would be easy.
Right.
I am not talking about the jews.
Nobody knew about that.
But there were lot of positive things
in the 'Third Reich'.
- The Autobahn.
- The Autobahn.
Labour duty.
Back then, you weren't bothered
by antisocial subjects in the metro.
I'd really like to know
why this person is so run down.
Perhaps because my father wasn't a Nazi.
- Agathe, did you hear that?
- Who was a Nazi?
We've always been upright nationalists.
Excuse me, your father,
what kind of person was he?
Sozi.
Excuse me, but we also suffered
under the Nazi-regime.
Both of my brothers
died in World War ll.
If they wouldn't have voted for Hitler
in '33, they might be still alive
and could have enjoyed
the metro ride with you today.
We've survived the collapse,
the 48' blockade, the Wall,
the lefties and the squatters.
And 35 years social democracy.
So we might well survive this red pack.
Well ladys,
we can ignore those subjects.
We are the circlets of
the Reich's capital Berlin
Die buttercream of cream,
the queens of Tauentzien.
From KuDamm to KaDeWe
we are the cream in your coffee.
Like 50 years ago.
Like 50 years ago
Our spouses
were in high positions
In Wehrmacht,
government, justice.
The government is quite generous
It does not end with the grave, you see.
So we fight in their names
For neatness and discipline
Like 50 years ago
Eyes right, eyes left
and straight
Like 50 years ago
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
Defend Berlin
Otherwise
we would have been Russian
Chaotic and green
We don't care what's after us
'Cause we are elite
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
We, Wilmersdorf-widows
Berlin is flooded with Turks
and immigrant scum
There is only one solution,
get your sticks at hand
With god and the press
on our side
The scum will soon be wiped
Like 50 years ago
Schnedereng Schnedereng
schnederengtengteng!
Like 50 years ago
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
Defend Berlin,
Otherwise,
we would have been Russian
Chaotic and green
We don't care what's after us
'Cause we are elite
We, Wilmersdorf-widows,
We, Wilmersdorf-widows!
We Zehlendorf, Dahlem,
Charlotteoburg, Steglitz,
Lichterfelde, Grunewald,
Wilmersdorf-widows
We Zehlendorf, Dahlem,
Charlottenburg, Steglitz,
Lichterfelde, Grunewald,
Wilmersdorf-widows
KaDeWe!
Let's go inside.
- What was this?
- Forget them!
Those chicks invest the Nazi-pension
of their spouses in cream cake.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You haven't changed at all!
You too!
When I was your age the war was just over
and I had only one thing in mind.
It's payday, fellas!
Now those brown pigs finally
get their punishment.
You thought so.
They were soon up the ladder again.
The presidents of the Employer
Association, Banks, Prime Ministers.
All that brown scum from then
and the sleazy conservatives from now,
all one spunk.
Take it easy, Ma!
Relax!
Are you
Yes?
Married?
Yes, yes.
Very happily-
And you?
Yes, very happily-
And how is she?
Great!
I mean, we go along very well.
What about him?
Well pretty different from you.
Older.
But we also go along very well.
I'm still in insurance.
But not in the same office
form five years ago,
432, one level up.
And you?
Well I am still devoted
to the revenue office.
I still have the same boss.
But in four years, he will be retired.
Well I have 19 years, seven months
and twelve days left.
Oh Titi!
Herbert please not!
You know, sometimes, I have these
strange dreams. It's always the same.
Alfred laughs at me.
Well
I shout at my boss
I keep shouting and shouting
and he's becoming smaller.
And then I say,
now I get my Alfred,
he'll snap you away!
And then he laughs,
opens the cupboard,
and Alfred steps out.
And then both of them laugh,
loud and mean.
Then suddenly, I'm naked.
And both of them pull their pants down
and I keep shouting, Alfred!
But he's just laughing
and I jump out of the window.
And then I wake up,
with Alfred lying next
to me and everything's fine.
Nollendorfplatz.
Oh, I need to change
for East-Berlin.
Over there, people are still listening.
They're just waiting for your chit chat.
Easy, my boy.
Take it easy and don't forget to relax.
Well, /..., well
G 'day!
Horst.
Well, /..., well
Would you mind me
disturbing you for a second?
You might think I belong to this mean pack
Who casually flirts with every girl
in the metro or anywhere
But I'll be the last one
To flirt with a girl
just because she is cute
Isn't he sweet?
But
- Say nothing!
At second glance
we might be down with each other
A smile, bad pick-up lines,
an accidental touch
and quickly we're off
Cafe', a walk in the park, cinema,
disco, kissing in front of the door
Warmth, illusions, projections,
dimensions is what you want
Rotations, electrons,
collisions, quadrophony
Chromosomes, silicones,
frustrations, depressions
Confessions, traditions,
confessions, traditions,
Erections, erections,
erections, erections
Loneliness, wine and beer
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
- But listen
- Say nothing!
Just imagine, after six weeks,
everything's well established
We chatter and eat,
sleep together
Everything seems to be just fine
The glitter's gone,
frustration's near
All the sparkles turn to mold
Money, love, dishes,
nothing but beef
- But it's just normal
- Wait a sec...
One lies, the other suffers,
one screams, the other's still
'Cause feelings are never clear
Another six month in vain
False concerns and all that stuff
Suddenly a break, end,
out of contempt
Hate, so freezingly cold,
it makes you shiver
You'll shiver
You're numb, dead, empty
Worse off than before
And lost so much valuable time
- But well no
- Did you just say something?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
Isn't he sweet?
- Hey, Maria!
- What are you doing here?
I've lost my bag.
What? Where have you last seen it?
At Bahnhof Zoo,
at the snack stall.
Well?
You've been there?
I haven't seen you there.
There was this dickhead.
He put something in my coffee.
This only happens
to villager gals like you.
I am going back to Bahnhof Zoo,
are you coming with me?
I am very disappointed from you.
I feel so sick.
Damn city! Nothing but weirdos!
You wanna go back home,
to mommy and daddy?
Sure, I am coming with you!
Hey! You're the singer from this morning!
Hey, you're that cutie
who's looking for Johnny!
Her Prince Charming.
You mean the one form this lady, right?
Lady?
Not with me!
Get it?
Who is talking to you?
What kind of lady?
Johnny's girlfriend.
She's a super rich real estate agent,
she's crazy for young musicians.
Who am I? You little wanker!
I can live without
your fucking low-pub.
Bravo! What did they do to you?
Back in the days did everything for him.
- This criminal!
- Right.
And you're a singer?
How do you become one, anyways?
No clue.
I used to be a social worker
but I quit.
It was crap.
You know what?
I think that's bullshit!
Yes, me too!
But you know what?
All this trouble with these kids
who'll never do a thing on their own,
except stealing, smoking.
And you run after them,
to their parents, the police, the court
and in the end,
they thank you with lies and insults.
"It's pointless, anyways."
"I'll just throw myself
in front of the metro!"
But not with me.
But you can't just leave them alone.
Well sure, I can.
I am not that stupid guy
who's rolling a doodah up the hill.
- Sisyphos.
- Really?
I'd be happy having such a job.
And not all kids are the same.
Anyways, I've spent a year
traveling around the world.
- Alone?
- Sure thing!
There are two billion men in the world.
Why do some guy at home?
Why isn't this opening?
Hey, what's happening?
Every time during rush hour.
As if they needed an audience.
Don't go!
Maybe it's just a bag on the rails.
- Do you really believe that?
- Stop freaking out!
Look! The hat!
Hi...
I was worrying about you.
Well, my farewell would be sophisticated.
- Sorry.
- Believe me!
Wait a second.
Shitty moment for a flirt
Well, she brought us together, right?
Please stay.
Damn, how I'd like to thank you
Shit!
I don't get it!
Why is she doing that all of a sudden?
Feels like one of her jokes
Everything was fine!
I've said to her, she could stay with me.
Damn Kleister, it wasn't your fault!
She had so many other problems.
How could you let her die
if you know so well about her problems?
- You're just another government official!
- Not anymore!
I know you!
Talking shit is the only thing you do.
The squares are happy.
Now she lies there.
One less, right?!
I have something for you.
She yanked that off from me,
this dumb bitch.
Fuck off, you pigs!
Wanker!
Kleister, don't act like the Allies!
Is this from you?
How do you know him?
How can you get so wasted?
Wasted?
That's easy.
Get wasted,
that's the easiest thing to do.
She did never obey
A miscarriage from the beginning
A scandalous consumer
A pain for all officials
Her craze for freedom was a crime
Thank god, for our thick fur
Thank god for our thick skin
She was living like a leaf in the wind
Credulous like a child
She didn't give a damn about Work
Making out was her life goal
Her craze for love was a crime
Thank god for our thick skin
Thank god for our thick skin
She didn't know what to do
The best was not good enough for her
The miserable world made her suffer
You can't imagine
Her craze for compassion was a crime
Thank god for our thick skin
Thank god for our thick skin
She just left for good
Without saying goodbye
She was roaming around before
Never asked where
Her whole life was shit
She was longing
for something eternally wonderful
But where might she find that?
Again it's colder
Sometimes it's pretty hard
But leaving just like that
It's not the way
She was hopeless,
from the beginning.
That's not true.
That's never true.
Life means hoping
till the end
Hoping for love,
a little piece of luck
Everything could happen
It could happen today
A word, softly whispered
A big bang
or a little wonder
Hope is eternal
And can always be fulfilled
Oh yeah!
That's bloody, bloody insane!
Always be fulfilled
Wow!
- Are you worried about something?
- No!
Well, you think about something.
No, what the heck should it be?
Well that's what I am asking.
There's nothing, and over!
You don't want to tell me.
Now he has to pull the gun.
There is nothing, really.
Enough.
- Is it because of me?
- No!
Wrong!
Then what?
See!
I am fine, don't worry!
Stop lying, you coward!
You just confessed!
What did I do?
That there is something
but not because of me.
"But not because of me".
Wonderful!
Say, why are you following me
the whole day?
Me
I write stories, nothing special.
And when I saw you,
my fantasy suddenly exploded.
Well, didn't seem to be enough
for hitting on her.
Well, I mean I tried.
Like that
Reality can be disappointing at times.
I'm sorry for you
but there is nothing!
Why so aggressive?
I am not aggressive!
Well?
You don't love me anymore.
Wonderful.
It has nothing to do with it.
- Why are blushing?
- Are you craze or what?
Well, talk to her!
Instead of staring at her buttocks
like a carp with his mouth open.
- Who?
- Well stop acting.
You mean her?
You must have lost your mind.
First, I looked somewhere else
and second
C'mon! Just flirt with her!
There's nothing to it!
But then own it, loser,
instead of slobbering like a voyeur
and lying all the time.
Nice, right?
Finally something happened.
Super dive on the metro rail.
And lots of bug-eyed corpses.
All of them died a 1000 times more
than the mashed body on the rail.
Boy, you're whacked out of your skull!
Every week there's shit
like this happening.
And now the day's just ruined
for everyone.
Just waiting all day long,
too late for work,
too late at home.
- That's the deal!
-Indeed.
Good for you!
That's a good reason
to booze up before all that.
You just bore yourself to death anyways!
And you both, doesn't matter
where you scratch your eyes out.
Well, he's right.
Evelyn, please!
Evelyn, please!
And all because of these drugheads.
Hey Folks, she was no addict.
But?
She was love sick.
Or maybe she was desperately
looking for a job.
You crazy or what?!
Her whole life,
Lumpi was never looking for a job.
And why did she kill herself so cruelly?
Such a young person.
Well, to shock us!
See, now we are sitting here,
talking about her.
She'll be happy watching us from above.
No way! What do we have to do
with the death of a drug addict?
I'd like to know that.
You're addicted yourself,
you pill-snipe!
Back off! Right now!
Or do you want to witness a murder?
Rampage!
Tosser!
Grain-shitter!
What's the matter?
The cold is creeping in
And loneliness
Poverty and disgust
Fear and suffering
Rockets and plagues
Venom at the pole
Wealth of the wealthy
And Kohl's grin
Like calves we're let
to the slaughter bank
Scoffed and derided
and nothing ever changes
Nothing!
Nothing ever changes!
Bloody madness!
I must be dreaming.
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
Courage to dream
There is only one salvation.
Fight the monsters!
Free metro rides!
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
My friend Corpse.
Say hello to Corpse.
Look in his beautiful eyes!
Nice!
You see, she's nice to you!
Leave me alone!
Well, where do we have our bag?
It's none of your business.
Did you hear that, Corpse?
I know where your bag is.
At my place.
Great, right?
Awesome!
Will you ever trust me?
Once you leave me.
Okay, little princess.
I only want to help you.
We could have a lot of fun together!
Zoologischer Garten.
Wait!
Get in
Mkernbrcke,
Hallesches Tor
Prinzenstrasse,
Kottbusser Tor
Grlitzer Bahnhof,
Schlesisches Tor
It pings! It pongs!
It gongs in your ear!
- Hey, Airy-fairy!
- Hey!
- You know what happened to me?
- What you doing here?
I've been followed.
I am looking for a place to sleep.
You know something?
I have none myself.
You have no home?
Sure, you wouldn't believe!
The old man just kicked me out.
- Why?
- Because I am feisty
lazy
phoney ...
depraved
and a little piggy!
Is he right?
Parents are always right.
And now he's in trouble with my old lady
and hopes that I am coming back.
- Hurry up!
- Okay. I am coming!
Over there!
Get yourself one.
Just a can!
A can
Hey Bambi, are you okay?
More than okay, princess!
Salute. Bambi.
- Where did you get this from?
- Trude gave it to me.
Salute. Socket.
Sunny, I found Johnny.
Really, where is he?
Your Johnny? ls coming.
Go on, tell me!
Be patient, just a matter of minutes.
What happened to his girlfriend?
Princess, I promised you to bring Johnny,
the rest is your business.
Really? You're meeting one of your guys?
- So I can sleep at his place.
- Yes!
You've gone mental?
Better go with Bambi.
Okay, let's wait a moment
until we sort out our beds.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, yes?
Somethings is wrong here!
You're just doing an act.
Act?
Well, that's right.
The great happy end!
God, Sonny,
you're so lucky to have met me.
Shit!
- I am going crazy!
- I am going crazy!
Well, this beer is a lot right?
I am so sorry for my mate,
but he has bumped his head.
Life is hard, like dry bread.
Well, did I say dry
Shut up and just take one!
Very charming!
What's the occasion?
Engagement!
Who's engaged?
We have the bride
but the groom is still unclear.
Men! Where can you find some, nowadays?
Herrmann, such an honour!
Happy to see you!
Miss Gertrud said I am invited
to a little celebration.
But if this is it
No it's only the meeting point.
Wait a sec, Herrmann!
Who'd have known
Where is that pregnant hussy?
And where is Johnny?
Oh, it's her!
Little rascal.
Short explanation!
He looks like our daddy.
It's 'cause of the booze.
They might be your kids
you don't know of, huh?
Boozer-kids.
God knows
-And now?
- Listen
I am unemployed.
Lonely.
Homeless. Unemployed.
Now you need to throw
your money at us.
Since you're the lady.
Lady? Me?
Go ahead! Throw it to us!
So much money! All for me!
We'll have a feast!
You have a Mark to spare?
Well that's something.
Stop making fun of us!
It's fine, okay. Relax!
Nothing's fine!
Rabbit-fur!
Cut!
Natalie!
My dream! There you are!
Where have you been?
Come my little angel!
Everything's gonna be fine!
What's wrong?
Don't know!
But Natalie, sure you know!
Just remember!
Close your eyes
and think of how nice it was.
Just follow your feelings
and everything's gonna be fine.
I've told you!
Well, how lucky he must be that we met.
I knew it.
Great story and
Lovely girls!
What did you just say?
A super hot guy!
A super hot guy!
Please hold me
Kiss me
Suddenly I know
Where I have to go
It's like a dream
But you're real
Totally normal and nice
And wonderful
Hand in hand together
I roam the streets
Until it realizes our luck!
I was freezing so much
I was so lonely
Today I just want to be
there for you!
Bravo!
Cheers to the bride.
"Please hold me".
"I was so lonely."
" | was freezing so much."
Men!
You're the only one who likes me.
- C'mon!
- It's true!
- Are you worried about something?
- No, nothing!
You're one lucky guy to have met us!
Hell yeah!
Pity, without me.
Hand in hand together
I roam the streets of town
Until it realizes our luck!
I was freezing so much
I was so lonely
Today I just want to be
there for you!
Oh my dear friends,
know the bliss of love.
But knoweth though,
not every love is meant to last.
Monsters lurk on every corner.
In you, around you
and above you.
