Breaking the Surface (Auftauchen)

Breaking the surface

The light reminds me of Friedrich,

the composition of Carter,

the choice of objects is Newton,

but I haven't given up all hope of seeing something original from you, Mr. Kreuzer.

Nadja...

How did you get in with Subs magazine?

Had they seen your work?

I just submitted.

Did you know anyone there?

No.

l’m glad, Ms. Grob

that you're not only attending our class in time for the break,

I'd appreciate it even more

if you turned your attention to your fellow students' theses subjects,

which you yourself have yet to turn in.

See you all at half past eleven.

Do we know each other?

Don't know.

I've seen you before.

What are you smiling at?

It's been my birthday, for two minutes.

How old are you?

Twenty!

I hope you have a great birthday.

Do you want to stay the night?

No.

I have to get up in three hours.

What's this pendant?

I don't have a clue.

You don't know?

Yeah, but I like it. I never take it off.

Sure you don't want to come up with me?

Good taste!

What are you doing here?

Wow, they made it really big.

Yeah, it's pretty unusual. Maybe I'll get the photo spread soon.

What does it depend on?

Hold on!

Thirty Euro.

Ms. Gross, did you hear Adamo is in town.

Ah, the photographer! Hello!

Look at this! My daughter took it.

Nice...

I'll drop off new pictures tomorrow. And if Marco likes them, who knows...

Enjoy the blankets! Thanks.

I gotta go, to pick up the new prints.

Are you coming over for my birthday?

We'll have a barbecue.

Anyway, if you're coming next week, I'll show you the new stove.

Kadasch finally installed it.

Matches perfectly.

How's it going with Kadasch?

How should it be going?

We also have new products here. Take a look!

See you later, Mom.

Hey Nadja!

I met somebody, who has no fear. Like me.

I look up to you and think "Wow! What a woman. "

You have a power, I haven't felt before.

It's killing me.

Ms. Nadja, in the following eighty minutes you’ll hear a part of Darius.

And I hope, you will call.

Hello, it's Nadja.

Sorry.

Do you always do that?

Only when I'm nervous.

Do you have to work today?

Yes. - When?

At eleven.

Where do you have to go?

I've got to deliver those pictures.

I just started working for this magazine.

Do you know Subs? - Yes!

...to give you strength

for the day.

Oh.

Come in! We're done.

Pretty interesting. Thanks a lot.

We'll see if we have something.

Cool. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Definitely.

Bye.

Nadja, what did you bring me?

Don't you have others?

You can hardly see his head.

Lippmann?

I'll give you a call.

Gone. Now she's gone. And again I am alone. Alone.

How'd it go?

Nadja!

Nadja!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Everything's fine.

Come on, get up! I'll take you home.

I just wanna sit for a sec.

Come on, let's go...

Nadja!

I don't have anything with me.

I finished my period yesterday and I don't have AIDS either.

I am drowning...

Ever since she came back from the clinic,

the little Schulze girl sits on the wall all the time.

What kind of clinic? I didn't know that.

Well, you're not around very often.

I'm glad that you made it today.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Thanks.

What happened there?

I think I have a new boyfriend.

Does he beat you?

Don't be silly!

I ran into a tree.

Kadasch!

Get some Mobliat.

I don't need any, Mom.

It's on the nightstand.

Why didn't you bring your boyfriend?

He is busy. He's doing civil service.

What are you doing with someone like that?

Light the fire starters first!

Guess who called today!?

Three guesses.

On my birthday, no less.

Why doesn't he admit that he's having an affair with her?!

I'm getting the chicken wings.

Good morning.

Yes?

Sure.

I'll be there.

That was Marco, my editor.

I have to go to the office.

No time for breakfast?

It depends on what's for breakfast.

Is Marie your ex?

Yes.

Why aren't you together anymore?

Because she cried all the time.

Why?

She just did.

You don't just cry.

What do I know?

She was clingy.

What's wrong?

You must have had something to do with it, too.

Nadja!

They liked it.

They were thrilled.

They think it's a great marketing strategy.

The photo spread is yours.

I have the photo spread. So I will shoot the girls from my street.

You better leave her alone!

I'll be up later, Mom.

Okay.

Shit, it's ruined.

What's with the sleeping bag?

I gotta pee bad.

Tough luck.

Then you have to come with me.

What would you say, if I asked you to marry me?

Why don't you just ask?

Just a moment, please!

Okay.

Ah.

Is this your photo spread?

You'll see.

There aren't any of your pictures.

Look!

Nice.

Let's go, okay?

I've just got to deliver these photos right away.

I thought I was supposed to pick you up?

We can put your bike in my car and then go together.

I'll drive home first.

I just have to hand in the prints. It'll only take five minutes.

I'm sick of always having to wait for you!

I'll drive home now.

I like it.

I like it.

Your style is just great.

Why didn't you choose Nike?
