WE CHILDREN FROM BAHNHOF ZOO

Shit!

What's wrong?

-Don't worry about it. -What am I going to do?

Welcome to the club, Banana.

-Günther! -Stella, no

Please, don't.

What's up?

-Spit it out. -Go on, tell him.

I'm sorry. I'll clean it up. Promise.

It's not a problem, my girl.

I guess it's "lady" now.

Hang on.

Tampons are the way to go.

It isn't true they break something.

Just shove it in. If it doesn't work, put some spit on it.

-Take your pants off. -Those are my best jeans!

And she's your best friend, right?

Here.

I don't have anything for Axel.

What do you mean?

Don't you usually bring something to a party? Like alcohol?

He's happier to see you than a beer. He's not one to be on a high horse.

I have a horse at my grandma's place. It's really cool there.

-Everywhere's cooler than here. -Yeah.

-I'm going to Canada. It's done. -Really?

With Michi. But we need plane tickets. 4,000 bucks.

I want to be a show jumper.

I need around 4,000 too.

You have to pay for the horse, riding boots, lessons

-I mean, if you really want it. -If you really want it.

-Great minds think alike. -I have a great mind.

Not sure about you.

-That's him. -Cool.

What's with the poster?

It's the only thing I have with a horse on it.

It's over with Matze.

So, this is where you come in.

Coatrack's there.

Toilet and shower, if you need to shower

or take a shit.

Cool place. Are more people coming?

Not tonight. Just a small gathering for now.

I'm glad you came.

Cool place, anyway.

-Want a drink? What can I get you? -Do you have cherry juice?

Oh, God

I'll just go to the store.

Axel?

-Axel! -Huh?

Guess who's coming to Berlin in April.

The Bolshevists?

David Bowie.

No, really?

In four weeks at Deutschlandhalle.

Stupid fag.

What'd he say?

That Michi's in love with him.

Let's all go.

It'll be the best night of our lives. Bowie for all, all for Bowie!

So? Is Benno in Canada yet?

Yes?

It's an original certificate from Dr. Morell. No doubt.

No, I can't do anything under 400.

Then give it some more thought.

Do you want to

resell it?

The Führer's feces? Yes.

There's something better on the market.

You know he only had one testicle?

No, I didn't.

Where's the other one?

It could be in my possession soon.

What do you want from me?

I wanted to ask for an advance.

There's a concert. I wanted to buy tickets.

And I want to take someone.

Okey-dokey!

I suppose we can write your buddy off.

No, he has a cold. He

You do a really good job, Axel. You can be trusted.

From next month you're in charge of the router.

You'll go far.

Christiane!

What are you doing here?

I happened to be around.

I see.

You all right?

I think I'll drop out of my apprenticeship.

Cool.

I'm making lunch. Want to come up?

Sure.

How come you can cook?

I don't know. It's not that hard.

Of course, I can leave you the skin.

Wow!

It looks great.

Enjoy!

You too.

Oh, no.

Hello. I'm Benno.

Nice to meet you, Benno.

Nice to meet you, too. Would you like some food?

Christiane cooked.

No, thanks. I ate in the cafeteria.

Okay.

-May I? -Uh-huh.

-Bon appétit. -Thank you.

So?

I wish you had told me. How long have you been together?

Can't you tell you're intruding?

-Where's the bathroom? -Down there, on the left.

Well, he's nice! Where did you two meet?

We're just friends.

We should get you on the pill.

There's no way I'd make a baby that I don't want.

-If I jumped, I wouldn't get hurt. -I know.

Matze told me that story.

It's true.

Anyone else would be dead.

Show me.

I know I wouldn't get hurt.

Well, I'm not stopping you.

Better not.

It might not work again.

And things are good right now.

Despite this shitty situation with my parents.

I'll do better.

We'll all do better.

Now you think I'm a liar.

No.

Hello.

Hello.

Gosh.

Look. That's colored laundry.

Don't put it in with the whites.

It's not so hard.

You'll learn.

And don't put those in there.

Good morning.

Morning.

We said before midnight.

If you don't stick to what we agreed

You don't, either.

Why did you do it?

Do what?

Dad and I really wanted that baby.

I didn't do anything.

It wasn't meant to be, and that's a good thing.

How was I supposed to manage alone?

With a man child like that?

Your father can't even

You have no idea!

You don't believe in us.

Hey, wake up.

You're going to be late for work again.

What do you want?

-See you tonight. -See you.

Benno.

Uh! What's your problem?

Get up.

What do you want?

You must do your apprenticeship.
