At Ellen’s Age (Im Alter von Ellen)

Is there any wine at home? I'd like to cook dinner for us.

We could invite someone if you wanted.

I thought we could look at a few flats next week.

Okay?

Ms. Colmar, this is Dr. Minks' office. We called yesterday.

You missed your appointment on the 12th.

Dr. Minks wants you to come in as soon as possible.

This is Dr. Minks' office.

Please call us immediately or visit the surgery. Our hours are--

"Then we met for coffee at Bobrini's.

She was back from a mission in Bolivia,

covered with sores after...

poisoned fish had been served. She couldn't--"

- Cut it out! - Cut it out!

"And I must say, they tasted delicious.

Then her chauffeur Pesco took her to a crisis summit at the ministry."

- It's really not funny. - It's really not funny.

"And I finished my errands."

I can read with gum too.

- You're all wound up and I'm knackered. - You're all wound up and I'm knackered.

Why don't you tell me what you've been up to?

I went to bed early.

- And did you think about things? - Probably.

Like what?

- You're losing hair. - So are you.

Come away on a trip with me. It would be good for us.

- Yes or no? - No.

You saw her. Why didn't you tell me?

Ellen, please, let's talk tomorrow.

Did you sleep with her?

Ellen, you send completely mixed signals.

Why won't you answer me?

Because you said we can't go on like this.

It was an off-hand comment.

Stupid excuse.

The truth isn't in a single sentence, is it?

You don't dare tell me. That's too bad.

Ellen, what do you want to hear?

That you're not around enough?

That you don't even realise what I'm doing or how I am?

Give me the chance to.

That's my cigarette.

Ellen, promise not to go all mad, okay?

Is it very important?

Is it obsessive?

Since when? How long?

Anna's three months pregnant with my child.

She wants to keep the baby. It's her decision.

Hello, I don't have an appointment, but I was away on business.

Ms. Colmar? Go right in, I'll let the doctor know.

- Do you know the results? - No, I'm sorry.

- Something to drink? - No.

Look at the safety card in the seat pocket...

Beautiful. The light, music, champagne, a pool...

It happened immediately. I mean, he was so...

I thought I knew him from somewhere. He seemed familiar.

It had to happen. It just seemed right.

And I didn't realise.

I didn't know we'd already spent the night together two years ago.

Let me take that.

- You want one too? - No, thanks.

Can I get you something?

Water or...

a beer?

You are not authorized to do anything on this property to this animal!

Your permit!

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please

while we explain the safety features on board.

This aircraft has eight emergency exits, clearly marked by the word "exit"...

Ms. Colmar?

I haven't seen many purser reports

that classify a crew member as a significant safety risk.

That was fast.

A neglect of duties is reported immediately.

Your flight to Maputo will probably be delayed four hours.

Can you imagine the financial loss?

After all, you've been with us for nearly ten years.

What's wrong?

You must have known the consequences.

It would be naïve to think you wouldn't be dismissed instantly.

That wouldn't be smart.

I have all the experience I need for my job.

Ask around, I'm good.

Anyone will tell you.

I made a grave mistake.

But it's never happened before.

I want to keep my yellow ID. I've grown fond of it.

Let me take unpaid leave for now.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

You could at least try.

Hand in your notice yourself.

That's the only tip I can give you.

Maybe a competitor will hire you.

Maybe it'd be easier for you to speak German.

Yes. May I invite you to a glass of champagne?

Anyone who says no to champagne, who loves life...

Are you all so fast?

Here one minute, gone the next.

Fred, that was nice.

Bye.

Great coincidence.

Where have you come from?

Where have you come from?

Casino.

Don't ask.

That's lovely. An heirloom?

Yeah, an heirloom.

Should we raid my minibar or yours?

Sorry, not tonight.

Sleep well.

Bennet?

Can I come in?

Shall I order us something?

Through the window,

- Anna saw the guy leave the cold-- - Plunge pool.

Right,

and he went straight into the heat,

and everything that had shrivelled up in the cold

expanded in the heat.

Ouch.

They had to use a crowbar

to rip out two planks and get him out in time.

Get up.

The boy probably doesn't want you to stay,

but let's take a chance, OK?

Oh, I'm sorry!

I didn't see you.

No problem.

Sorry, I must've got the wrong room.

Sorry.

I overslept.

But maybe I can get dressed quickly.

Sure.

- Are you here on business too? - Yes...

I mean, no.

Then perhaps it's not so bad you overslept.

Are you okay?

What's wrong with you?

I'm really sorry,

- I barged in here and confused you. - Not at all.

I just don't know where to go.

Look, you just stay here.

It's 10:30 now,

my appointment will last a few hours.

Then I'll come back and take you out for a meal.

I'm Simone, by the way.

Travelling can be brutal.

People like us always end up having to trust strangers.

Right?

It's true.

There's no other way.

Not all chance acquaintanceships are like ours.

So nice, I mean.

You never know where it will lead.

Exciting.

I really need this feeling, I've become...

addicted to it.

You know what?

We'll do something to take your mind off things.

You can't do that!

You can't do that!

Come on, get out on the market.

Excuse me?

Hello?

Ms. Simone Hain?

This is a non-smoking car.

You can't smoke in here!

Okay.

Stop!

Follow that taxi. All my stuff is in it! Will you help me?

Thanks.

Sorry. Lukas, come! Lukas, come on, get in!

Come!

Sorry, he loves women in skirts.

He's totally clingy. That's why.

- Turn around! Drive! - Okay, I heard you!

Got the address?

- Let's just go there, get the flyers and it'll be fine. - Get the map out, please.

Asshole!

That's not...

Wrong taxi.

Is that yours?

No, he's from a laboratory.

Karl, when you distribute the banners, you never consider

- that Billy can't carry two-metre poles on her bike. - Leave it.

- No, because I have to do it instead! - I have an idea.

You do the distribution for the weekend supermarket campaign.

That solves the transport problem.

I'll come right away. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

You're like Rebecca.

She makes people feel bad for criticising her.

- Where does the lady have to go? - To the head office.

My things were dropped there.

- First we'll go to Ms. Klut-Oberscheidt. - Who goes in?

- Not me. - I went in last time.

Stop it!

I said be quiet!

Come on, take your drops!

You scratchy thing!

Hello?
