All language subtitles for Der Fan (1982)

No letter today.

I wrote R three weeks ago.

And still no answer.

Maybe he didn't get my letter.

Maybe a jealous assistant
kept it from him.

Because she felt I love R more
than her. That I really love R.

It would be betrayal to R, if I
stopped waiting for his letters.

I won't go to school today.

I will walk around town.

I imagined R visiting me in Ulm.

Us climbing hundreds
of steps up the M�nster.

It being one of the most
beautiful moments of my life.

On the first platform, R gently
takes me into his arms.

I tremble in excitement.

He is very gentle.

His lips touch my lips

and I feel the tip of his tongue.

Some people looked
at me in a funny way.

Tourists.

Maybe they thought I'm about
to climb over the bars

and throw myself down.

And they were right.

That's what I will do,
if I don't hear from R.

But I will not just be jumping
down and be dead,

spattered across the entire square.

If I jump, I'll take a
farewell letter to R with me.

Then R will hear of me.

He'll be forced
to think about me.

Then I'll be a part of him.

And he a part of me.

I'm listening to his last album.

It's beautiful.

More beautiful than
one could imagine.

Every song is like
he wrote it for me.

It's as if he knew
me inside out.

As if I knew him inside out.

I understand him.

And he understands me.

It's as if we had known
each other forever

but a cruel fate prevented
us from really meeting.

It's not what you're thinking.
A letter from school to your parents.

Give me that!

My parents say hello.

They can't talk to you right now.

I'll bring a doctor's note
in the next few days.

I'm having complications
with my period.

I was in school today.

I thought I could
resist going home.

But I couldn't stop
thinking about R.

You've got to be crazy!

There's nothing there!

He always sings with
the same voice.

But for me, his voice
is different every time.

I imagine that's what it's like, being
with someone you're happy with.

You often say the same,
but it's not the same.

The words you
speak don't count.

What you mean counts,
not what you say.

Because you may not be able
to say what you mean.

I also wrote this to R
in my letter. I wrote:

"I know I can make you happy.
And I know you can make me happy.

If you want to give our happiness
a chance, write me back,

or give me a sign in
your next show.

Blink with your right eye once. Then
I'll know you're thinking about me."

I don't care if I see R with
other girls in magazines.

He doesn't look happy
on the pictures.

I'm not jealous of the others.

Because they only want one
thing from him. His money.

That's why he doesn't
really care about them.

He goes to bed with them,
and throws them away.

Maybe he even pays them, so they
realize he can see right through them.

Today, is R's first TV appearance
since I wrote him.

I can't wait to see if he makes
the appointed sign to me.

If he will blink to me.

I'm sure he will.

Some...

Some stupid show host
offered me 1000 marks.

Well...

I didn't get away
unscathed either.

It's also said that...

I'll tell you one thing,

I'm going to watch the movie.

I want to watch the show. I've been
looking forward to it for weeks.

I don't know what'll happen. All I know
is, you always have to bleed for it.

Is the movie that good?

Pretty good.

But I think I already saw it.

Maybe we can switch
over to the show.

"Auf los geht's los"
7570 Baaden-Baaden 100

And now...

...good luck.

Speaking of luck,

we may have lots of stars,

but the real, international stars

can be counted on the
fingers of one hand.

A star of today, and maybe an
international star of tomorrow, is a man

who is making a career with
many notes, but only one Jetter.

With the letter R.

What this R stands for, we do not
know. But maybe it stands for

'round the world?

Fingers crossed!

Here comes R!

Enough of this crap!

Dear R,

I don't know if you
received my letters

because I know you're unable
to read all the letters yourself.

I don't know if you
already wrote an answer

because the postman in my street may have
kept the letter from me for some reason.

Or my mother has it.

I don't know if you blinked to
me in Blacky's show either.

I couldn't watch the whole show, because
I had an argument with my parents.

So I'm writing it all to
you one more time.

It could be that you're
waiting to hear from me,

but don't know I haven't
heard from you yet.

If you already know my letter,
start reading after the big heart.

I want to tell you
that I love you.

And that I know
I can make you happy.

You don't know me

but I've known you
for two years now.

And I feel I could give
your life a meaning.

You would never be alone again.

You don't need to fear

me being after your
money, or your fame,

because I would even love and stand
by you, if you were poor and unknown.

You're such a good person,
yet I often see it on your pictures,

the sadness and loneliness
hiding beneath your smile.

I suggest you write me to a
P. O. Box, to my first name.

To the name Simone.

Just write the word come

then I'll know, and we won't have
to fear anyone finding out,

that your letter gets into the wrong
hands, and we get in trouble.

I'll go to the post office every
day to ask for a letter from you.

Please, answer as soon as
you're done reading my letter.

I can't go on without
you any longer.

Hey,

nice to see you.

Where are you
all the time?

Let's at least have
a coffee together.

Some other time.

I think of you.

Ciao.

All for R?

That's only the beginning, there are
three more trucks at the central.

We're drowning
in R's fan letters.

Better just dispose
of it in the garbage!

I'm so unhappy

I can't even cry anymore.

I will now wait for
seven more days.

If R doesn't answer by then

I'll have to act.

Is there something for Simone?

Nothing, sorry.

Day 1

Where you goin'?

Is there something for Simone?

Day 2

Could you look if there�s
something for Simone?

There's nothing there.

Look anyway.

Next.

I told you to look.

Yes?

For Friedrich?

I told you to look!

I'll have you thrown out.

Day 3

Day 4

There's nothing.
Day 4

Day 4

If you skip school again,
I'll put you in a boarding school!

Day 5

Simone, get up.

Day 6

Hey!

You could at least
close the door.

Day 7

Ran away from home?

Say...

...what's in Munich?

Hey cutie pie,

got a boyfriend in Munich?

What do you think about sex?

Aren't you scared of
hitchhiking alone?

I think my friend
needs a walk.

Go take a leak.

Hey you little minx, let's go...

What are you doing here?!

Autograph requests
in writing only!

And if you don't leave
I'll call the cops!

Television

What's your name?

Claudia.

Want to come in a
little and watch?

I'd love to.

Don't you have a job to do?
Take care of the car.

You want an autograph?

Umm, yes.

And you? What's your name?

Beatrice.

Here.

You don't want one?

Umm, no.

I have to rush, see you.

R didn't come today.

I'll keep waiting for him.

R!

R!

Don't you want my autograph?

What's your name?

I have to go in now.

You can come in later.

Just tell them I said so.

Everybody ready for rehearsal 2.

Ready for rehearsal.

Feeling better?

All participants of "Top Pop"
into the studio please.

Ready for rehearsal.

Just nod or shake your head.

Great.

I'm needed in the studio. You can
stay here or join me. Your choice.

We're ready.

Patrizia, hurry with the mannequins,
so R can get in position.

If he keeps it up, he'll be able
to broadcast with his dick.

Do I have juice?

Sound, give me some juice!

Thanks.

Dieter?

We're ready.

Start playback!

Hang on, R, we have
a few problems.

Bernd, can you light
the Madonna?

Bernd isn't here right now.

Hey!

Okay, forget it for now.

Start playback!

Patrizia, when are your
guys going to stand?

R? Let's break until
the decoration is done.

So? How's everything?

Christian, what did you have in
mind for your final moderation?

J
Well

something not exactly like that,
but in that direction

That's it, thanks for watching, until next
time, bye, have a nice day... you know.

But I noticed, I'm talking
towards the audience

and you only see their
backs, lighting wise

What do you think about
turning the shot around?

If we have a few nice people, we can
talk to them at the end of the show.

Ok then, we'll arrange
the final shot differently.

Alright, great.

Hey, I need the exact broadcasting
date so I don't make a mistake.

Another question, Dieter,
what about the interviews?

We need to clear the talk
part with editorial first.

Did she leave because of me?

Who?

The girl you were... your assistant, sir.

You don't need to be so formal.

We barely know each other.

We'll have to change
that, alright?

Of course she left
because of you.

She's morbidly jealous, even
though we never had a thing.

I wrote you. Maybe she
kept the letters from you?

Maybe. But she still couldn't
stop us from meeting.

R, can you come over?

Excuse me.

Hey, R, I don't think we
should do an interview.

You just coming out with
the song will work better.

Yeah, you're right.

Do you always treat
them that badly?

That's just the
way to do it.

You're the greatest.

See you after the taping?

Unless you got something
better to do.

Want to eat something?

If you like.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

I don't believe you.
A pretty girl like you?

You're lying.

I'm not!

Didn't you ever
fall in love?

I see, you don't
care about boys.

Not at all.

Are they that bad?

Worse.

And me?

Dieter needs to
talk to you again.

Yeah, ok.

Go get something to eat.

You know where
the cafeteria is.

I need to lie down a little,
to be fit for the taping.

And the food?

You can wait in the
cafeteria if you like.

Are you scared?

Then sit down here.

And now?

What?

What now?

You need to relax for the taping.

Come a little closer.

Closer.

Closer.

Close enough.

You're a little beast.

No, stay like that.

Know what I would like?

A little kiss.

Well?

Are all your kisses this hairy?

R to make-up!

Everybody else,
get ready for taping!

Good evening and welcome
to a new edition of Top Pop.

I hope you're in a great mood, and
looking forward to 45 musical minutes.

I hope you'll enjoy our guests, and the
great surprise we have in store for you.

We have someone you haven't seen
on TV for a long time, but more later.

Hey!

Someone here liked it a lot.

Enjoyed the show today?

Yeah, it was great!

Ok, I'm glad! I hope you, our viewers,
enjoyed your time at Top Pop as well!

And thank you R for being in the studio
today, we're really happy about it.

Until next time, have a nice
day and bye for now!

We need a quiet place to talk,
are you coming tonight?

You can't keep refusing
every interview.

If you mess it up now, the last ten
month's publicity has been for nothing.

You! Come on!
We're done here.

Can we at least
talk to you now?

We booked the studio
for the 10th.

All schedules are
connected to that.

We could release
two weeks later.

It would just barely work.

Anything else?

What do you say?

I'm taking time off. Do what
you want with your schedule.

You could interrupt you vacation
for a couple of days.

I could.

And the album?

Make it without me.

And the appearance on "Hit"?
And the TV-spots?

We scheduled them
two months ago!

Ready?

We'll call you
at the hotel.

I'll check out tonight.

How can we reach you?

When will you come back?

I'll send you a postcard.

Can I go through now?

That'll keep you busy.

Where are we going?

Wait, I'll just get my stuff.

The apartment of some friends.
They're in the USA for a year.

Nobody knows I got the key.

I have to call a few people,
look around if you like.

Hello, it's me.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

Tomorrow?

Forget it.

I think I wasn't exactly
fair to my people.

You can afford it.

But I don't want to.

I like them, somehow.
And I need them.

But I thought you needed me.

Of course.

Where are you going?

Reconcile with them
before I leave.

I have to.

I'll return when I cleared
the air, I promise.

I love you.

Same here.

I'd love to take you,
but it's strictly business.

You made me very happy.

We'll see each other again.

I'll be back in Germany
in a few months.

Believe me, I really
need this vacation.

You can stay here
as long as you like.

If you want to leave, deposit the keys in
the hallway and just pull the door shut.

I'll call you when
I'm away.

Simone...

Tomorrow, I'll go
back to school.

We didn't report you missing.
I didn't want a scandal.

And now, an announcement
From the police.

The pop-singer R has been missing
since August 29th of this year.

Birth name, Richard Reuss.

R left for a prolonged vacation, and has
since then vanished without a trace.

When he was last seen at
the taping of Top Pop,

he was driving a brown
Rolls Royce Corniche

and wearing a white linen suit.

If you have any leads, please
contact your local police precinct.

I know where you are.

Have no fear, I will
not give you away.

Not for any money in the world.

I missed my period.

I'm four weeks late.

I will bring you into the world.

We will be happy.

I know you love me.

And me too:

I love you.
