Family Fever (Familienfieber)

FAMILY FEVER

Morning, Bunny.

Alina used up my shower gel!

Now I have to use this girly stuff again.

-Here. -I don't want that! Go away.

Have you seen a doctor? About your knee?

Next week. I haven't had time.

I got this ointment.

Where did you get it?

From the pharmacy. Where else would I get it?

-Morning. -Oh, the princess has risen.

-Do you need your cell phone at breakfast? -I need to write something.

Yes, but we're eating.

I'll be finished in a sec.

Your daughter.

You still have to tell us the address and when we need to be there.

"When we need to be there." What sort of event is it anyway?

We already talked about it on Monday.

Tell me again. I didn't quite get it.

You're meeting my boyfriend's parents.

"All nervous regulating fields are harmoniously balanced..."

Honeybun?

-I'm going to work, alright? -Yeah.

-Yeah. Bye. -Look at me...

God, you have beautiful eyes.

Shall I bring you anything?

-Orange juice. -Done.

"The essential commonality of active relaxation..."

"The essential commonality of active relaxation..."

-Yes? Hello! -What?

Yes.

I was wondering when you'll be home? I cooked...

that Indian dish you like.

Listen, I'm loaded down with so much work today.

I haven't finished.

Do it on Monday, so we can eat together.

I have to finish the accounting by the weekend. I can't postpone it.

Sorry. I didn't know you were cooking.

OK, then I'll pack some for the drive.

Great, then pick me up from the station.

Then Mario can have some as well, maybe.

Yeah, that's good. Pick me up at the station.

- OK. -Yeah, bye!

Shit.

ROUTINE

Any idea how to proceed now?

Somehow?

No idea.

Hello. About tonight...

We're all set, right? 7 o'clock.

Yes.

It'll be great.

Just tell them the truth,

then nothing can go wrong.

You'll tell the truth anyway, everything's cool.

- You can do it. -I don't know.

You don't know my Dad and my Mom, and...

It'll be cool to meet them.

It'll be awesome. We're both prepared for it.

Yeah, we'll manage. OK. Bye.

See you later. Bye.

We have to hurry a little. I have an appointment afterwards.

Yeah.

We're invited for dinner, in Brandenburg.

What are you doing there?

-To the countryside. -Just like that?

To Alina's boyfriend's parents.

-That's nice, isn't it? -It's too early to say.

This damn wind! Bugs the hell out of me.

Shit!

This job

is for morons!

You know how I feel sometimes?

-Nope. -Like those people.

Some go this way, some go that way.

No goal. I feel like everyone else.

I'm totally average.

Except that I put up billboards, a shitty job!

My wife has no reason to say: "My husband is a great guy."

-It's always like that. -Nonsense.

You think the bus driver's wife is proud?

Or the cop's wife?

I think we're better than average.

You should talk to your boss!

This can't go on every Friday, with you working so late.

Are you going to the dinner with those clothes on?

Do you have any spare clothes?

I'll go like this.

Up to you.

-Is it a masked ball, or what? -No, it isn't.

You could just wear something more decent.

What's not decent about this? It's my work clothes.

-You're wearing your work clothes too. -Alright.

-What's bugging you now? -You didn't get dressed properly!

These are normal pants, and this is a normal shirt.

What will they think of us?

End of work is 3 pm.

You have to talk to your boss!

-Yeah, I will. -But when?

I've heard it all before.

Just like the young lady!

Does nothing for school! Just chatting on the mobile non-stop.

What's this about?

-Leave him some space. -Watch it! How about a turn signal!

She's gonna crash into it. Unbelievable!

She doesn't care.

-Watch out, red light. -Just like your boss!

That's the kind of people... They just bump into you, don't even care.

That lady keeps people at work till 5 pm, too.

I'm stupid, I'm not refined. That's easily said.

Three years ago I got laid off. After that my tone changed at home.

Yes.

-Uwe and I, we're OK. -Nonsense!

Totally fine.

-Really? -Yeah.

Then why did you get involved with me then?

Excuse me, which way is Stülpe?

-Two more villages. -Pardon?

Go through Schöneweide,

through Gottow then left to Stülpe, I mean, Schönefeld.

And after Schönefeld, turn right and you'll get to Stülpe.

-I see. -So it's the next right?

No. Through Scharfenbrück, Schöneweide, Gottow.

Left after Gottow.

Then in Schönefeld, up to the right to Stülpe.

-OK. -I don't get it.

-Left at Gottleben. -Got it now, right?

Thanks a lot. Bye.

You have this boyfriend there and you don't know where it is?

Gottleben, then left. It's not that hard.

Left.

-Schönefeld. -That's what the lady said.

Schönefeld, then right.

Or did she say Schöneweide?

Same situation here. Left or right?

You have to go back. The little driveway there.

-We drove past it? -Yes, it was at the cows.

"At the cows!" Can you speak when I drive by it?

"At the cows!"

Advanced placement German!

You don't pay for the gas. You just enjoy the ride, right?

A bit of nail polish, fiddling on your phone.

Next holidays, young lady, you have to do a summer job!

You can hand over 50 euros a month.

-Here. Left! -In here?

-Yes. -Are you sure?

Yes, totally sure.

Not the best road.

And straight through.

Is this the museum of natural science?

-The road stops there. -But this is where it is.

This is a castle!

-Just tell me where it is! -This is the house.

You're kidding.

I don't believe it. What sort of boyfriend do you have?

I told you it's a big house.

That's not a big house, that's a giant bunker.

-Look at my clothes! -That's your fault.

You could've told me what this is. You could've brought a postcard.

But we're going...?

-Why are you driving away? -I'm not parking this shabby car here.

You should have told me, young lady. You have a lot of nerve!

Look at my clothes!

It's a big house to me, not a castle!

Turn around!

Is that a big house?

-Well, it's... -It's not a big house!

Come on, then we'll get out here!

-What about me? -You catch up.

-See you in a minute, Dad. -"See you in a minute..."

Incredible. No one would believe it.

What are you staring at?

That's Nico's father.

-Hello. -Hello.

This is my mother, Maja.

-I'm going upstairs, OK? -Yes.

Hi.

-Everything alright? -Yes. Come in!

-What are you doing here? -Well...

I didn't know that your son and my daughter are going out.

You never told me.

SECRETS

-My mother's here. -Hi!

Oh, you're here already.

Hi.

OK, just come in.

-Can't change it now. -Great evening this will be.

My wife.

-Ohnsorg. -Roth.

-Where is your husband? -Oh, he's parking the car...

-Something to drink? -Orange juice.

And you?

Water.

-What's with you? -I'm happy.

-About what? I mean, that much? -Nonsense. Everything's fine.

I have to calm down a bit.

-Stefan, where's the orange juice? -Should be there.

-It's not here. -Look closer.

You look closer! I don't know where you put it.

Then bring some water.
