Head-on (Gegen die Wand) (Gegen die Wand)

HEAD-ON

Along the stream I wander

Watching for the fish in the troubled water

But I am troubled over you

My beloved Saniye with your wind-blown hair

I am saddened by your gaze that does not requite my love

But I am troubled over you

My beloved Saniye with your wind-blown hair

I am saddened by your gaze that does not requite my love

Cahit, you okay?

Want a drink, Seref?

Yeah, a coke.

Gimme another beer, babe.

You're really thirsty today, huh?

That's right, bro'.

Then drink water.

I'm not a dog.

How was the concert?

Piss off, Maren.

Asshole!

Fuck you!

Motherfucker!

Hey, you!

Hey, you bum! I'm talking to you!

Such a cute chick,

and you tell her to shove it?

You a faggot or something?

You must be a faggot..

What the fuck are you doing?

Get outta here, Cahit! Go home!

Stop this shit!

Go home now!

My old lady brought me here.

She said to Schiller that she was afraid of her husband.

What does that make me?

"I'm afraid of my husband!"

She's so false!

But I got people, I'm telling you. I'll fucking show her

What kinda people?

Guys who work security

I'll show her, I tell you

She won't get away with it

But Schiller's basically okay

I saw him the last time

You were in ward 13, too.

Cahit Tomruk, please

There are a thousand other ways to kill yourself

Why drive into a wall?

Who says I wanted to kill myself?

There were no skid marks

You can't smoke here, Mr Tomruk

Where does the name Tomruk come from?

From Turkey

What does it mean?

No idea.

Their names have beautiful meanings.

Oh, yeah?

Much more than ours.

At least the first names do.

If you want to end your life, end it But you don't have to die to do that.

End your life here, and go somewhere else.

Do something useful

Do something

Go to Africa. Help people.

Do you know the band "The The?"

Sorry?

One of their songs goes,

"If you can't change the world,

change your world."

You want the record?

I've got it

Should I tell you something, Doc?

You're off your rocker, you know that?

Are you Turkish?

Would you marry me?

What?

Would you marry me?

Fuck off!

Nice to meet you, Cahit Tomruk.

Cahit Tomruk..

Sibel Tomruk.

Excuse me, can I help you?

A cold beer, please

We don't have any beer here,

but you can have a coffee.

The shame you have brought upon us is unforgivable

Mankind's greatest gift is life

There is no greater gift than that

Who do you think you are to throw this gift away?

You should be happy that you're still alive.

Do you have the keys, Yilmaz?

See you later

Can't you see what you're doing to him?

It's killing him.

Look at me!

Look at me!

If anything happens to the old man, you're dead meat.

Give me one too.

What good would it do to kill yourself?

You're just making us and yourself unhappy.

Don't forget that

I thought they'd leave me alone then

Leave you alone?

I never could teach you anything.

Don't say that, Mother.

Oh, Sibel..

How long are they keeping you?

Dunno.

Don't let the crazies in here drive you crazy.

How's it going, Cahit?

You won't die that way

What do you mean?

Along

Along what?

You gotta cut along the vein,

not across it

Across is shit.

Aha.

You got a beer, babe?

If you marry me

I only fuck men.

Really?

Y'know what?

I'll get you a beer

Be outside the clinic at midnight.

Where's my beer?

Come on.

Where do you come from in Turkey?

Mersin.

Mersin is supposed to be nice.

Yeah, I know I was born there.

We come from Zonguldak

Do you know Zonguldak?

Why do you want to die?

I asked you a question.

D'you think my nose is nice?

Touch it

My brother broke it 'cause he caught me holding hands

Now touch my tits

You ever seen such great tits?

I want to live, Cahit.

To live and to dance and to fuck!

And not just with one guy.

Get it?

I'm not deaf!

You don't understand shit!

Will you marry me now, Cahit?

Forget it.

No!

No, leave me alone!

Oh, shit

Marriage?

Girl, are you out of your head?

It not some kids' game!

It's just a pretence, get it?

No, I don't get it!

It's just an alibi for my parents, so I don't have to live at home

We'll live together I promise I'll be a good room-mate.

I'll buy groceries, I'll cook, tidy, clean the toilet.

We have separate rooms, we don't fuck, nothing.

And your parents?

Your in-laws You wouldn't have much to do with them.

What do I have to do with them?

Just visit them sometimes

And then pretend to be man and wife or what?

Girl, are you mental?

And why me? I'm a bum!

Because they'd accept you. You're Turkish!

What's going on here?

Get off!

What do you mean?

I said, get off!

Why?

Because there's no room

for godless dogs like you on my bus!

Get out! You, too!

Hey, man, what's up?

What d'you mean, what's up?

It's not your bus It's the city's.

Fuck off!

Hey, wait!

What's your name?

Her window faces the street

Her admirers throw gravel at the pane

My beloved is the girl with the most beautiful eyebrows

Find yourself a love, too

And make of her your wife

Have you totally lost it?

Do you think you're an actor?

D'you want an Oscar?

You don't understand.

The girl's up to her neck in trouble.

What do you care?

She says she'll kill herself

if I don't do it.

The fuck she will And you believe her?

Women are like that

They make up stories to trap you

You know what getting married means?

No, I don't.
