WE CHILDREN FROM BAHNHOF ZOO
We're impressed by Babette's talent.
You should encourage it.
Due to Babette's addictive
tendencies,
we'll release her without medication.

Hi, Aunt Luise.
"The gap between rich and poor exists
alongside that of free and enslaved.
The transition to private property
was accompanied by marriage.
The nuclear family
became society's economic unit."
Patriarchy replaced slavery.
The woman is to the man
what the slave was to the master.
The union of tribes
becomes a necessity everywhere.
You see?
Yes.

Do birds fly?
Yes. Thank you.
Do birds fly?
No. Thank you.
Hello.
Is Benno in?
Want a beer?
"Dear Father,
I'm sorry but we had to leave."
"We."
I thought you had left together.
You and my boy.
It's from Prague.
Have a seat.
What do you think?
Should a father report
his own son to the police?
I had that savings account
for 23 years.
What an asshole.
I called in sick.
For the first time ever.
PRAGUE
Hey, crybaby!
It was you who wanted to come here.
A bit of freedom, you said.
I did that.
I mean it.
Watch out, the bridge! Ah!
Come on, help me!
Don't make fun of me.
Come on, give me some.
Do you see me differently now?
No.
You're my best friend.
The strongest person I know.
What happened was an accident.
Like this?
Hello, this is Christiane.
A friend of Babsi's.
Is she there?
You are not welcome here.
How could this possibly happen?
We can only help
those who want to be helped.
Listen
Christiane
actually made good progress.
Just bring her back
when you find her.
-Hey Mommy, want some lesbian action?
-I'm looking for my daughter.
Christiane. Dark hair down to here.
-About your height.
-Lots of hookers here look like that.
-My daughter doesn't do that.
-Sure.
I saw someone
at the Bülowbogen toilet,
lying wasted on the floor.
Christiane!
Get lost, you cunt!
Don't touch me! Get lost!
Mom!
Narconon said
I can sleep at home again.
I know that you ran away.
You are going back
to Narconon right now.
And you won't come back
until you're back to normal!
Mom?
I'm not going back to Narconon!
They only make me do
weird exercises there!
Mom!
Mom, they aren't helping me!
They can't save me!
I've lost my child.
No, you haven't.
Thanks.
What happened, my girl?
Morning.
I have to go. I have math.
Here.
Hello, do you have any change
for the subway?
Thank you.
Got any change for the subway?
-Got any change?
-Get lost!
Cunt!
Christiane.
Babsi!
Where were you hiding?
I was in a rehabilitation center.
They took care of me,
and I'm totally clean now.
That's great!
I'm at Narconon,
but I'm taking a break.
Checking out the scene.
But I'll go back soon
and get clean too.
Would you want to go to Sound
sometime, really rave it up?
I'd better not.
I might start an apprenticeship
as a theater makeup artist.
And I'm taking drawing lessons.
The um, the DJ, was asking for you.
Dijan?
He was really worried about you.
Would be nice to see him again.
Saturday at 9?
Karin's in a bad way, Robert.
I'll find my daughter.
Can you lend me 100 marks?
What do you want with 100 marks?
You have to think strategically.
You already owe me 200.
I'm only asking you to lend it.
You're screwing my wife,
that's the least you can do.
Thank you.
-Hello.
-Wait!
Got a mark for me?
-Hello! Got a mark for me?
-Shut your face!
Hey!
Seen her anywhere?
Look at her.
That's Christiane, my daughter.
Yes, I've seen her somewhere.
-What's your name?
-Speedy.
-No, what's your real name?
-Speedy.
Okay, Speedy
Take this so
you don't forget her face.
If you see her
or find out where she is,
get in touch with me.
And if you do that Yeah?
Then
you get a big, fat 100 mark bill.
And this is my number.
Take good care of it.
Here.
Don't fuck it up.
Just heard you're getting out.
Yeah, child protection services
got stuck in.
Would've been nice
to hear it from you.
Not from fricking Schrothmann.
Will you write?
Course.
Look.
You can always go there.
Maybe we'll see each other
when I'm out.
See you later.
Have a nice evening.
What are you wearing?
I have a date with a boy.
Is he nice?
Yes, Grandma.
Very polite
and really well brought up.
But you'll be back home
by midnight, yes?
I promise.
Fine.
Babsi!
Have you seen him?
Not yet. Hey, you look amazing!
We should go shopping together.
What are you drinking?
Wine?
A glass of wine!
He'll show up. Don't worry.
You're so in love!
No, I'm not.
I don't recognize anyone here.
Benno skipped town with Michi.
He really left me hanging.
I wouldn't have thought that of him.
What a dick.
You were looking for me?
Christiane said
you were looking for me.
For you?
Yes, for me. Babsi.
You don't have to worry about me.
I'm doing well.
Yes.
I was looking for a Babsi,
but it's not you.
Come with me.
Time to head home, get comfy
and shoot up on the couch.
I have to go home too.
It's past midnight.
It doesn't matter anymore.
-I had fun with you, Christiane.
-Babsi Babsi
Please don't leave me alone.
BREITWEG PET SHOP
You have a key?
Where's Günther anyway?
I give him a Mandrax every night
so I have my peace.
Why does everyone have to leave?
I can't deal with Benno being gone.
Why are all boys horrible?
Forget Dijan.
He acted like he didn't even know me.
I lied to you.
He wasn't asking for you.
I'm sorry.
You're forgiven.
Hey, Banana, I really have to go.
You will
never call me "Banana" again.
Stop, I'm really gonna pee myself.
Do you remember that time
you peed forever in Sound?
Man! I really missed you.
You can't leave yet.
Want some?
No.
We have the best life ever.
So?
Maybe you just don't belong together.
You and H.
BREITWEG PET SHOP
Come on.
If she isn't there,
you can forget about the money.
Open up!
Open up!
-Christiane?
-Shit.
-Christiane!
-We have to go.
Christiane!
Grab her!
Stand up! Come on!
Run, Babsi.
What's going on?
Fucking pervert!
-This is a surprise.
-Yes, they informed me.
Come on. Let's go home.
Where are Nils and Nicole?
I told them you were
with Aunt Inge in the West.
I didn't want everyone
to know about it.
Stella, you screwed up a lot,
but stealing from old women
is really brutal.
Are you coming?
Stella!
There.
Is that it, then?
Throw it away.
Throw it away!
Listen, Missy.
I swear, if you have anymore
No, that's all of it.
Right, you'll live here.
I'll take you to school every day.
And then pick you up.
When we're not here,
we'll lock the door.
-You can't lock me in here.
-You won't learn it any other way.
Come on, Lamai.
Not even any students today.
I'll be lucky if I can get
another quarter gram.
I have enough. We can share.
Thanks.
Do you know
where I can crash tonight?
Dear Christiane,
How could I not have written you
a letter back then,
to Eisfelden in the hospital?
You say such wonderful things.
Beautiful sentences.
What could I have written to you?
I just didn't know what to say.
But I was writing to you in my head
the whole time.
But this is the first time
I've been able to put
my words on paper.
I'd like to have gone
to Paris with you.
My mind was tangled like a web.
Turning tricks, H, everything.
And there was always Michi.
Michi has always been there.
All the threads got tangled up.
I was a fly caught in the middle.
I was caught up in myself
and didn't know how to free myself.
Now I know that I belong with you.
And that we have
to fly away together.
And that I love only you.
I can hardly wait for us
to see each other again.
Your loving Benno.
-What are you doing?
-Nothing.
-What is that?
-Nothing.
-Give it to me!
-Leave it.
You're such a fucking coward.
This, here, with us,
was never going to work out.
You won't make it without me, Benno.
You know why?
Because you're weak.
You're a fucking weakling, you hear?
That way the capitalist
can keep increasing his wealth,
as the proletariat's living
conditions
become increasingly precarious.
Do you understand?
I'm not stupid.
Hello, it's Benno.
Is Christiane there?
Can I speak to her?
Where is she then?
Why Hello? Hello!
Not now!
Hello, it's Benno again.
Where can I reach her?
At Narconon?
But Hello? Hello?
-Boy, are you done?
-Shut up!
Fuck! Shit!
Shut your face!
Hey, little birdie.
-Show me.
-Give it to me.
Yes.
We had an agreement.
I need panties you've worn.
There's a warrant out
for your arrest.
Your father pressed charges
against you.
For theft
and the falsification of documents.
