Original subtitles

It's over.

I can't go on like this any longer.

It's not going anywhere.

That's my mother's ring, you can't take it off.

Every second Thursday.

From precisely 12 noon to 2:30.

It's our sign, our secret.

What will all the receptions and parties be...

if I no longer see it on your hand?

You'd be breaking the rules of our game.

I'm not playing any more.

Yes. You are.

You're wrong.

Papa, that's annoying!

What's annoying? This is great music.

It's handmade, authentic blues.

When did I get home yesterday?

12:30... No, 12:36 and 12 seconds.

I was with my sister at Cafe Central,

we had a ball.

A ball! You were absolutely sloshed.

Why didn't you yell at me?

I hate yelling.

For. Now landing at For.

You've worked hard,

it's OK to lose control a little.

Yes, I've been working too hard,

but now we want to relax.

It'll be nice and peaceful.

And your birthday?

No birthday, you promised.

Georg, I'm warning you.

Peace please! We're almost there!

Dear Diary,

This vacation I want to sleep with a boy.

My mother already bought me the perfect dress.

Look, it's Ciro.

Ciro!

Well, what have we here!

Welcome!

What a surprise!

Are you mocking me?

She mocks us all, it's her job.

Well, Sonja.

The beach will be great. Nothing but boys.

They party day and night...

And the good news?

This evening we have swordfish.

Livia is cooking it in an olive-caper sauce.

Delicious.

Who is Livia?

My cook.

Is that what you call her? - Voluptuous.

We'll be there. Bye.

See you later!

Wow, he really gained weight.

He's always been that fat!

No. He used to be handsome,

a young god

Your mom was 17 when they met and fell madly in love.

And then?

Then I came along.

Margie, pussycat, I miss you so much,

I kiss you everywhere.

I long for the sweet smell of your skin.

No, I didn't lie to you,

I'd never do that.

Margie, something came up.

Christine isn't well. It's serious.

We're all very concerned.

Pussycat, my sweet pussycat, listen to me!

Georg!

Be patient, my darling!

Yes, sweetheart?

What the hell are you doing here?

Stay cool.

I won't hurt you

I just needed a bed.

Don't you have a home?

It's summer, I live on the beach.

And then you sleep in my bed.

How was I to know it belonged to such a beautiful woman?

I'm calling my husband.

You already did.

But he doesn't seem to be very fast.

The poor man has his hands full.

He's on the phone with his lover.

Her name is Margie.

Yeah?

Does he know that you know?

I don't know, but it's convenient for all of us.

Do I need to check the silverware?

I didn't steal anything, I just wanted to rest.

And what's in there?

Go ahead, be my guest.

I'm not interested in possessions.

And you?

I love life.

Now get lost!

Only if you let go of me.

Isn't this the life, honey?

Time to eat

Eating is middle-age sex, I want adventure!

More respect for your mom!

Look who's talking!

Stay here, we're eating together!

Let her go, it's vacation.

We can do as we please.

Thanks, Mama.

Go out with me tonight.

Oh no, have mercy, after the strenuous trip.

It doesn't have to be tonight. - Yes tonight.

Maybe tomorrow.

Always tomorrow.

Day after tomorrow.

Will there be a day after tomorrow? - There always is.

Sometimes you're so boring.

What do you expect?

Nothing, you're right.

Georg! She's not home yet!

Sonja isn't home yet.

What time is it? - 11:20.

You sent her off with your blessings.

Yeah.

She'll be fine. The whole village knows her.

Remember when you were 15.

I am, but it's not very reassuring.

She has to sow her wild oats.

Yes, I know.

You'll get used to it.

It just hurts that she's growing up.

I think it's nice.

We'll have more time for us.

Someone's been waiting for you for a long time.

4 months and 15 days.

You're a hairsplitter. You're crazy.

Why didn't you say so before? - You remember "before"?

Everything will be like before.

Dear Diary,

When Marco looks at me, my knees go limp.

What does that mean?

That I'm in love?

Missing anything?

Not me, but you.

Or don't you like to play?

Like this.

Flick of the wrist.

One, two, three...

I used to be better at it.

Practice.

No time.

You have a daughter, right?

Do you know her?

She's pretty...

So what?

Don't worry. She just likes Italians.

You know everything. Tell me about yourself.

Guess?

You get money for college,

but you don't use if for that, right?

I hate my father.

But he's supporting you?

Do you really care?

My job is to ask questions. You know "Naked Truth"?

I produce that insipid talk show.

Do YOU enjoy your work?

Every month I get lots of compensation money.

Unlike me, my husband enjoys his work.

The pay is correspondingly low.

What does he do?

He's a doctor and sneers at my ambition.

I saw you last night.

What do you want? To play games?

Women play with men, not the other way around.

I like how you walk...

and how you move...

and how you look at me.

You're a pretty woman.

They're totally awesome.

Aren't they a little too ladylike?

I am a lady.

To look sexy you'll have to practice a bit.

Mama, I will practice this week.

I'll practice everything.

Common, dance with me! - No.

Come on!

Is something wrong?

You're a very pretty girl.

I always have been.

You won't be a girl much longer.

Will you still love me?

More than everything.

More than Papa?

We love our kids more.

Nature planned it that way.

You don't love Papa any more.

Yes I do.

You're lying.

Can I have money?

No dessert today, signorina?

We have a wonderful Monte Bianco.

No thanks, next time.

I need cash.

What's the magic "p" word?

Pronto. No, joke.

Please, please, please, Papa!

Here

Have fun, lovebirds. - Don't spend it all in one place!

Beautiful girl, gone so quick? - Sure,

to avoid the subject of when to be home.

I remember when she was little.

So sweet, and now she's big.

Big and beautiful like her mama.

Sonja takes after Georg's family.

No, no.

Luckily, she looks like you instead of him

Ciro, I've missed you.

Chaos everywhere, but you don't change.

And what do you call this?

I've got one too.

It's nice to see you two.

Where were you this year at Easter?

I couldn't get away, too many nightshifts.

And you? Why didn't you come alone?

Didn't want to, didn't feel good.

You know,

we're always so busy.

All you ever think about is work,

you never think about love. - And what about you?

Excuse me.

In September we're taking a trip alone,

no child or anything.

Just the two of you?

For the first time in years.

Good. That's nice.

You're going away alone. Good idea.

My friend, do you still fuck?

Of course.

Swear by the Virgin Mary! - I swear!

I don't believe you. Not even if I saw you!

Christine is a wonderful woman.

Ciro, you should be nice to her.

Let's drink to that.

To Christine...

and to us!

Cheers.

To friendship! - To Christine!

Look at this couple. See his hips?

There's a reason for that.

It's very interesting.

And watch how he moves.

This one's for little girls. Yours is next door.

Sorry, you missed my daughter. She already has a date.

I know.

Are you spying on her?

I'm interested in you.

Dance with me.

I'm here with my husband.

50?

Tomorrow, Hotel Bellevue, 4:00 p.m., room 7.

Did you pay already? - Yes.

Or do you want another drink?

A walk? Or are you tired?

Exercise and fresh air will do us good.

Dear Diary,

Mama, doesn't want to celebrate her birthay,

but I know she is lying.

She loves surprises more than anything.

I can't wait to see Mama is face..

When she finds out she and Papa are going to Paris.

The ?owers, mademoiselle. Here?

Not here, Papa! Over there on the table.

Happy birthday, Mama.

You have to guess what the gift is.

I'm dying of curiosity.

French lessons on cassette?

We want to make you happy.

What do you say? Are we off to Paris?!

That's really sweet of you.

What did Bogart say to Bergman in "Casablanca"?

We'll always have Paris.

You look like I need a drink.

Champagne in the morning?

He who says "no" to champagne says "no" to life.

You're certainly not guilty of that, Georg!

My name is Georges, please.

To you, Mama. - To us.

To US.

May your wildest dreams come true.

You sure about that? - As long as...

I get to be Superman. But before his accident.

You're tactless. Superman died 2 years ago.

Then there's a job opening.

12 points for Austria in tactlessness.

I hear something.

I think another surprise has just arrived.

I wanted to forget my birthday.

No chance.

Here. Instead of ?owers.

Erste Lage, well shaken, best to let it settle.

What is this French week!

Martin rescheduled an important conference.

"Intestinal Peristalsis...

and Aggravation Factors" was the subject.

Here. - Thanks, this is so sweet of you.

How long can you stay?

Two or three days.

The present is from me too.

But Linda picked it out, right?

Christine is always right. Hello.

My colleague!

Where did he escape from!

If you need professional help...

Excuse me, doctor, but this morning...

I had a schizophrenic episode...

and thought I was a true Parisian.

They've got well-tried remedies.

You look good. High cheekbones.

Suits you!

You could call them sunken cheeks.

Lack of sleep, plenty of stress,

the no-time-to-eat diet.

You career women!

Why do you do this to yourselves?

Martin doesn't want me to work.

He's a workaholic, unlike my nob vivant Georg.

So tell me, 42,

how bad is it? How do you feel?

Not a day younger.

And as if I had my future behind me.

How old are you anyway?

Parts of me are 32. Look,

two tiny incisions,

and you've got...

beautiful, sensuous eyes. Isn't that fantastic?

Aren't they sweet, our husbands,

so serious-looking.

You haven't opened your present yet!

The women at the station will hate you.

They already do.

Her tumor markers were negative.

Common Georg, tumor markers aren't specific.

You know that very well.

Her blood count isn't that great.

The cystitis isn't responding to antibiotics,

and that worries me.

When do you get the results?

In 3 days at the latest.

Calm down, there's nothing we can do,

if you get her suspicious, you'll ruin her vacation.

She thinks it was a routine checkup.

So don't get excited!

No, why get excited?!

It's only my wife we're talking about.

I made coffee, who wants coffee?

Coffee, that's perfect...

for setting my tipsy head straight.

Mama, is that yours?

May I borrow it? - Don't you dare!

That's not a cheap Thai imitation, it's real.

It must be tiring to have a daughter.

Tiring, yes.

You stay because of them, they go because of you.

It's wonderful too, at the end of the day.

I told you not to come.

Kiss.

Mm D

You can kiss me.

You shouldn't be here.

My friend Georg invited me.

It's over.

You belong to me. - Fuck you.

I do.

I fuck you. - You wish.

I'm going for a walk.

Shall I go with you?

I don't mind.

Don't knock yourself out, we'll be on vacation for a while.

How long will you be staying? - One night.

I'm giving you a room on the 2nd ?oor.

Give me room no. 7 please.

That's a suite. - Yes, I know.

I stayed there once as a girl.

You're in luck,

it's newly renovated and not occupied.

Breakfast is in the newly designed Puccini hall...

from 9 to 11:30, it's on the 1st floor.

Through the glass doors and to the left.

And a bottle of champagne.

Mimmo, which champagnes do we have?

Will Piper Heidsieck do? - Perfect.

For number 7. Thank you.

Yes. Have him come up.

It's unlocked.

Far out, man.

Come in.

On the table.

Thanks.

Do you have a condom?

Do I need one?

You don't have one?

You're not that cool after all.

You're scared.

No need to be scared.

You're my girl.

You have to be nice to me,

promise me you'll be very nice to me,

I need someone nice.

OK?

Look, we had a nice fuck,

and that's all I want from you.

I'm so happy.

We don't talk about feelings, got that?

Let's go have a drink.

NOT HOW.

Don't think I'm in love with you.

You're young and handsome, maybe you bring back memories.

Or you're just a toy.

Miss?

Can we have the menu?

Are you hung"Y?

Only if you're treating me.

Are you a gigolo?

No.

Does your mother do this often?

No.

There she is.

Stop.

Should I say hi? - No, stay here,

or do you think you're a son-in-law?

Honey, shouldn't you be home by now?

Cut the irony. Where were you?

Is that your boyfriend?

I'm not mediating between you and papa.

He picked you up at the restaurant last night.

Where were you? What were you doing?

Your little friend is gorgeous.

Are you even listening to me?

Young men are simply beautiful.

Have you gone to bed with him yet?

You're embarrassing.

Common, let's go. - What's wrong?

She's gone crazy. Let's get out of here.

What do you want? To spy on me?

Why did you send Sonja after me?

I'm a grown woman.

I turned 42 today.

Worry about Sonja instead.

She was with her new boyfriend.

The boy who picked her up last night.

Excuse me, when does the bus stop here?

No busses here.

No bus?

No, the bus doesn't come by here.

Hitchhike.

Christine...

I don't believe it. What now?

Yes, I'm listening to you.

Martin and Linda?

Did I invite them? No, you invited them.

Did you ask me. No, of course not,

maybe I didn't want a surprise, just...

a few hours alone. Is that too much to ask?

No, no, it's not too much to ask.

When are you coming?

I'll be right there.

Since when do you wait for me?

Christine called.

And does she miss us?

She was out, she says.

She was different.

I don't know, it's strange.

As if she were brimming with new energy.

What? Did you drop any hints to her?

No, she's felt healthy...

since she got the negative diagnosis.

Maybe she needs a lover,

she hasn't had anyone for so long.

Have you ever thought of leaving her?

Who me? - Yes.

No.

Just because she seems to be coming to life, it's strange,

you're different too.

Me?

Look Martin, I...

I've been...

For years I've been neglecting her,

I've pushed her away.

To tell the truth,

I lost interest in her, and suddenly...

I'm feeling the love we had in the beginning.

It's strange.

Do you remember the ?at we shared on Felber Street?

Sure.

The hygiene police would have gone crazy.

Our kitchen was a regular biotope.

But whenever Christine came over, you could eat off the floor.

Yeah, I remember it like it was 25 years ago.

Yeah.

What do you think, Martin?

Are we getting old?

On the outside.

Inside we're still the wild bastards we were back then.

Our nature is our destiny.

Where to? - Good evening.

Can I come up with you?

No, but thanks anyway.

Good night.

What are you doing so late?

I was down on the beach. I can't sleep at night.

Where were you?

Georg was going insane.

I wanted some time alone.

I've got more than enough time alone.

Martin is never home. He's restless.

I'm glad you sleep with him.

You know?

Of course,

it's been going on for 5 years,

I'm grateful to you...

because if he's sleeping with you, I know he won't leave me.

You're satisfied with that?

If not, I go shopping.

I pick, decide, draw my credit card,

and it's mine.

Do you sleep with other men.

No.

You've never fallen in love?

No.

But you're in love. - No.

You look so beautiful, your skin is aglow.

I had sex.

Wild, animalistic sex, sweaty bodies...

No, you had the most wonderful afternoon of your life.

What will you tell Georg?

I don't know.

Scared to go in?

Georg would never hurt me.

Don't tell Martin that I know

I'm sorry, Linda. I was lonely.

Maybe I was glad he was being taken care of,

I probably lost interest long ago.

Why don't you leave him?

I've invested half my life in this relationship,

why should I start over?

We get more than one chance.

I probably deserve better,

but will something better come along?

Haven't our men stopped admiring us long ago?

What if they change?

Then they'd have to love us more than themselves.

Don't gobble your food!

You don't behave like a total idiot!

Did you sleep with Marco?

Do you sleep with other men?

What do you think?

Of course you do. And everyone knows but us.

Alright.

Marco and I pashed.

What does that mean?

Pashing means necking, making out,

and everything that goes with it.

Where? - What?

Where did you pash?

In the disco.

In public? Wasn't that embarrassing?

At my age it's normal.

Everyone pashes, you can do anything you want.

Do you love this Marco?

Love? What's that?

When one person fulfills all of your yearnings.

What if that person is too small or the yearning too great?

Then the love dies.

Marco and I just had fun.

And you? I bet you had great fun.

Do you think I'm too old to have fun?

What if you discuss that with Papa?

Yesterday was her birthday. Why shouldn't she have fun?

Your wife is like a cat...

roaming around the neighborhood.

Suddenly she's back sitting on your lap.

I don't want time to go by.

Linda, do we determine our own lives,

or is it determined for us?

I believe in destiny.

And in gifts placed along our paths.

And you, Martin,

what do you believe in?

I believe in female beauty.

A little more wind wouldn't hurt.

You're ruining your eyes, sweetheart.

Do I look Italian enough now?

A storm's brewing.

I'd say everything can stay the way it is.

I think it's marvelous.

New dress? I've never seen it.

Seen it, but not on me. It's Sonja's.

Christine, how does she do it?

Younger by the day!

And more and more desirable.

What's for dinner?

I want to go out this evening.

What about you two, are you up for it?

We could go to Ciro's...

To tell the truth, I'm exhausted.

Unlike your wife, I'm not getting younger.

And you, baby, what do you say?

A day of sun and water really wears you out.

I could get a fish to go. How would that be? A sea bass.

I'll make potatoes with rosemary and a salad.

Do what you want.

Some white wine? - Always.

But only if it's cold.

This evening calls for alcohol.

Why?

When I bit her nipples,

it whistled, flew around me twice,

and out the window.

Not so full, I'll be as drunk as a skunk.

And think bad thoughts.

What kind of bad thoughts?

Good bad thoughts,

the kind I ought to keep to myself.

I should have gone out. What am I doing here.

What are you complaining about,

our lives are fantastic!

One big playground.

Because we're all playing?

Like you're playing as if you were hot for me?

I feel how you like it too.

You feel yourself, not me. There's a huge difference.

If you feel anything at all, then just yourself.

Tell me something hot.

Linda knows I slept with you.

You denied it.

By no means.

Do you want to destroy our happiness?

What happiness?

Ours!

Do you know how many people envy our life?

What life?

We have every freedom and opportunity.

Freedom to rub your cock against my ass...

while your wife watches and gets drunk with my husband?

You're so complicated.

Our lives are rotten to the core.

Maybe, but privileged too...

and so we are committed to living this way.

Why?

Because we chase success, talk and talk...

with nothing to say to each other.

Look at yourselves,

we're dying of loneliness.

I'll look after you back in Vienna.

What do you mean by "look after"?

What you admire me for.

You know the address.

In one hour at the Bellevue.

Didn't the young man come?

I called it off.

You did the right thing.

Women and men shouldn't get involved in the first place.

And love, what about love?

LOVE!

We fall in love with a smile,

with the way someone irons his shirt.

Did you call him? - None of your business.

You must know where he lives.

Yes, I know everything,

but I'm not telling you.

If you're lucky,

he ended up at your house.

My house!

My husband is asleep at my house.

And, of course, he knows nothing?

Would you tell your husband?

No.

Of course not.

Should we keep our secrets to ourselves?

My life is one big pack of lies.

If they make your life unhappy, change it.

I'm sure you'll find him.

You know what I'm going to do?

Does it have to do with love?

Should it have to do with love?

I'll go to him,

lie down next to him and ask:

Why didn't you come?

Because I wanted you to come to me.

I waited.

I was drunk and stoned.

What will become of us? Of you and me?

We'll make love.

And then?

Leave me alone.

Spread your legs, common baby!

You're drunk.

You were gone so long. Where were you?

Breathing.

Didn't I tell you to knock.

Oh, it's you.

How are you, honey?

We haven't talked for so long.

With all your nightshifts, you never have any time.

I think your...

mother wants to leave me.

Do you know anything about it?

I mean, has she talked to you?

Do something, you always just give in,

you never really talk to her.

You're a man, you have to do something.

She's your wife.

What should I do?

Do you want to cry? - I wanted to.

Gorgeous girl.

You have to fuck her.

No. - Why not?

I'm married.

No? What do you mean "no"?

I love my wife.

Who is talking about love?

Excuse me, I'm talking about fucking!

I fuck my wife.

Fine, you fuck your wife, but so what?

I only fuck my wife, do you understand?

You only fuck your wife? - Yes.

Never another woman? - No.

You only fuck your wife?

Yes, damn it!

But why?

Because I love her.

I know you do, but where is she?

Do you know? You don't.

No, I don't know.

Are you crazy?

I want to sleep with you.

You're at the wrong place at the wrong time.

How long will you keep me at the hotel?

Tamaz, this is my family's house.

So? Your husband is on his sailboat,

your daughter is with her Vespa dude.

Do you want to ruin me? Get lost.

Awesome stereo,

must have cost a wad of money.

Yes, I live a good life and I work hard...

to be able to afford the things I want.

This lifestyle costs me a lot of energy.

It wasn't easy to work my way up.

Nobody tossed it in my lap.

I come from humble beginnings, Georg too.

All you see here we earned ourselves,

we didn't have time for fun and games.

Not like you: Today yes, tomorrow no.

I'm used to people keeping appointments.

You're into the '70s?

No, Georg is into the '70s.

You owe me a dance.

You're killing me.

No, I'm bringing you to life.

What do you think I am?

A little lover, a stuffed animal...

you can get your kicks with?

Do you think I'm some idiot from your stupid show...

for you to dispose of as you please?

You know what?

You're bored...

so you think you're entitled...

to decide over my existence or nonexistence.

No.

If you love me,

then love me now!

What do you think?

If you like it.

I want to hear your opinion.

I think it's good.

Or is this prettier?

You should feel comfortable in it, OK?

I don't know.

You're a big girl, you can shop by yourself.

Do you know why I buy these clothes?

To make yourself pretty for me?

No, because I'd rather have good clothes than a bad fuck.

I'm going to go wait with Georg.

Maybe shopping is a bigger kick than fucking anyway.

For me water. - Carbonated?

Carbonated with ice.

Have you ever thought your wife could die?

No.

Have you ever cheated on her?

Have you cheated on Christine?

Do you want an honest answer?

Why not?

Common, have you cheated on her, Martin?

Of course, haven't you?

Who with?

With your wife.

Ah, you mean the woman who...

was roaming around town on her birthday?

Yes.

And is she good in bed?

Very good. Terrific.

What does she like best?

Different things, she likes to experiment,

she likes it doggie style.

Are you sure you're talking about my wife.

I probably know her better than you.

How often do you do it with her?

Every second Thursday.

And where do you nail her?

Hotel.

Hotel, which one? - The Orient, where else?

The Orient, where everyone goes.

Isn't that a little trite?

I had you going there, didn't I?

Admit it. You believed it for a second.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A toast to you and your humor,

you're a funny guy.

I talked to the boys at the histology lab.

We'll have the results by tomorrow morning.

Maybe Christine isn't as sick as we think,

she has this new energy.

Yeah, I'm surprised she's suddenly...

brimming with healthy energy.

You know, Martin,

I've considered...

leaving Christine.

But suddenly...

Suddenly I'm in love with her again.

People change their attitudes in the face of death.

Are you saying that it's good that people die?

May I introduce you, Georg, Martin, Tamaz.

Have a seat

Tamaz, my new lover.

Have you gone totally insane?

Why? For being honest with you, Georg, and myself?

Why are you doing this to him?

The truth won't kill him.

The truth will kill us all.

What do you have to say?

Nothing.

Good evening. To drink?

Champagne and mineral water.

Carbonated mineral water?

Non-carbonated, no ice.

And who's he?

My ex-lover. Why didn't you answer him?

Don't you have anything to say?

It's your life.

I must be crazy.

You can drink alone. - I'm broke.

Used up all daddy's money already?

My dad's an asshole. I don't know him.

Let's celebrate.

Sorry.

Dear Diary,

I slept with Marco!

Don't yell at me!

Stop it!

Leave!

This is our house, I paid for half of it.

You can't kick me out.

Let's talk, and stop this bullshit!

Stop?! I'm just getting started.

Does the kid fuck good?

What do you want to hear?

That every millimeter of my skin explodes...

when he touches me, that I get wet...

just thinking about him?

I thought we were starting a new life.

Yeah, we are, we're starting a new life.

But not together.

You thought being affectionate a few days...

would change everything?

Love isn't a faucet you can turn on and off,

love is a river.

You think that kid can save you.

He touched my heart.

Rekindled what you've smothered over the years.

What is suffocating me.

I can't breath. I'm suffocating.

We're both suffocating.

Your cold indifference is suffocating us.

Take this off. I'll set you free.

Until 4 days ago I was dead, but now I'm alive.

Get out of here!

Are you beating me?

Is your old energy coming back.

How ludicrous can a person...

You're so ludicrous.

Get out! Leave!

I don't want to see you again! Get out!

Do you know how much you mean to me?

Why are you telling me that now?

Because it's the truth.

Georg would have calmed down if you had intervened.

More bloodshed?

Would your presence have aggravated the situation?

As far as I know Georg doesn't have a gun.

Hi, darling. How are you?

Hold on a second.

Give them number 7.

You're as beautiful as your mother.

Mama says I take after Georg.

You really are a pretty couple, my compliments.

Good night. - Good night.

What a sleazy man.

Forget him.

I ought to forget everything:

Today, my past life.

Everything will work out.

No it won't. It's all my fault:

I told Papa to do something, I made him do it.

You're not responsible for your parents' lives.

Children aren't responsible for their parents' lives.

I want them to get back together. What should I do?

Do you want a warm beer.

Michelle, toss me a beer.

Want to smoke a joint?

Can you love one person your whole life?

And why don't my parents love each other any more?

Maybe they never loved each other.

Do you think Mama used to love that sleazy Ciro?

In the village they say Ciro was handsome as a young man.

Nobody can change that much.

And what if I got a potbelly like his?

You with a potbelly? That doesn't fit together.

My dad is bald.

Does your mother still love him?

I guess so.

If you consider how often they make love.

How much do you love me?

More than everything.

More than yourself, Marco?

Will you do me a favor?

Whatever you want.

Take me home.

No.

Talk to me, I want to know where Mama is.

Common, talk to me.

Go to sleep.

What were you thinking? Men can't hit their wives.

You think that will make her love you?

Leave me alone.

I hope you don't mind.

Your wife is going to live.

I have the test results.

It was a cyst...

not a tumor. Congratulations!

Cyst,

I went half crazy over an idiotic cyst.

Good thing we didn't let on that we were worried.

It's odd...

that the only time we fear for our asses is...

when we're about to lose everything.

What will happen to you and Linda?

She'll calm down.

Go look for your wife and be happy together.

Christine hates it when I spy on her.

Drive safely.

Put it in the leather bag.

Your best Bordeaux! - At this hour?

Yes.

My cell phone is on the bedroom dresser,

my keys too, yes, OK. Thanks.

Your daughter was at Hotel Bellevue with her boyfriend.

Did you know?

Sonja doesn't tell me about her love life.

Do you tell her about your love life?

You're sleeping with the receptionist again.

The amazing thing is...

that you act like a teenager.

Do you think she doesn't notice?

You're jealous because she has her whole life ahead of her,

that bothers you.

I long for the innocence...

that Sonja still has and the rest of us have lost.

It's all there, phone's in the pocket.

Thanks. Give this to Linda.

I'll take that.

Don't you want to introduce us?

This is Marco. Marco, my mother.

It's a pleasure.

Mama, Papa is doing awful.

The pain will pass.

Do you love my little girl?

If you love her, take good care of her.

Isn't he cute?

Yes, very cute.

Why don't you love each other any more?

Introduce Marco to your father, we'll talk in Vienna.

I have to go.

I always thought people never change,

but since I met Marco, I've changed completely.

Enjoy this love,

what you feel now will never repeat itself.

What should I tell Papa?

Tell him I'm not angry.

I love you, Mama. - I love you too, my angel.

That boy has made you beautiful.

You look great.

Better than before.

I feel like making love to you.

Ciro, my old friend, you've gained weight.

Your shirts have gotten tight for you.

I've gained weight, but I haven't changed,

even Georg says so.

Yes, you still fuck every woman,

I have to agree with Georg on that.

Yes, I like women, to me all women are like one single woman.

Yes, you love so many...

because you're scared to love just one.

What's wrong with falling in love again and again?

This desire lets me know I'm alive.

Don't you wish you loved one person...

who you knew from before?

And who you love for the way she is now?

Common, Christine, I want to sleep with you.

Maybe we'll discover that we still love each other.

We're late.

Are you afraid you'll miss the ferry?

Besides, I don't even know why you have to leave.

I have a life that needs straightening out.

At least give me a kiss.

It's from Christine.

You are Tamaz, aren't you?

Come.

What are you doing?

Instructions from Christine.

Could you try this on?

It's not for me.

Can you walk up and down so I can see how it falls?

Should I turn too?

Yes, that would be nice.

My pleasure.

Do you think I don't know who you are?

You're Georg's wife.

I've seen you in old family photos.

You probably think I'm crazy...

for interrupting my vacation to see you.

After all, Georg and I have this old arrangement,

but somehow it still seems phony...

to live with someone just out of habit.

How long has it been going on?

3 years, 4 months?

It was March, we had our peak audience ratings.

No. It was May,

I had a car accident.

4 years and 2 months.

And why Georg?

There aren't that many.

So many don't have jobs, have nothing to offer you.

Anyway, I'm glad Georg finally talked to you.

Kiss me!

Come on! Do it, kiss me!

What is it that Georg seeks and finds in you?

I'm young...

Yes, you're young and uncomplicated.

You have your whole life ahead of you.

You don't have to accept missed chances.

Do you sleep with other men when he's with me?

Sometimes.

You should enjoy life.

And you?

I was married at your age.

Because of your child? - No. Because of love.

Georg loves you.

Then what does he want from you?

More love?

Fine, then you make him happy.

Or aren't you sure if you will get him?

Up until a week ago I was,

but then something happened. Georg didn't want to say what.

Nothing happened.

I never talked to Georg about it.

You can take the dress off, I'll buy it.

That's how I met him.

Do you still love him?

I probably wanted to find that out this vacation.

Keep it.

Georg,

your wife was just here.

Where are you?

What?

Fabulous weather,

maybe I'll stay another week.

I'll talk to her, I'll call Christine, OK?

Our daughter fell in love for the first time.

I'll tell you everything when we see each other, Eleonore

Yes, alright.

Someone's on the other line.

Kisses, ciao.

It's me. Your beloved husband.

I think I acted like an idiot, forgive me!

It's the first time you've apologized in 17 years.

I'm really sorry.

Yes, I'm sorry too.

I should never have hit you.

Yes, it was wrong, and it hurt,

but it was good to see that you're still alive.

Where are you?

In a tax!) on the way home.

I know, I can see you.

What do you mean you can see me?

I'm spying an you and I can see you.

Here.

I can see you too.
