Throw me the ball, man!

PUNISH ME

Seifert.

Jan Winkler?

I'm Elsa Seifert, your probation officer.

What's the matter? Tired?

Don't know.

You?

Come on, we're in a hurry.

If you do exactly as I say, you'll be fine.

I have a thick folder about you. Property offenses, car theft...

It was a 190S L, no less.

You'll come to my office twice a month. Please be punctual.

You awake now?

I don't sleep much.

I can't.

It's as if...

as if the darkness wakes me.

Oh, yeah?

We tell each other about sex with our boyfriends.

Good morning.

This is Jan. I told you about him.

- The trial period is two weeks. - One is enough.

- But the social worker said... - One week, five days.

Three weeks weren't enough for you.

I believe we have an appointment with your boss...

In twelve minutes.

Get your own! No!

No, Mom. That's yours.

I'll kill it. I can't deal with chlorophyll, you know that.

So...

let's get on the road.

- Bye, Mom. - Bye, big girl.

Please be careful, okay? Call me when you get there.

I will.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Do your parents know we're coming?

Maybe you should call them.

Don't you trust me or what?

Call them now.

Nobody home.

Can I drop you off here?

Yes.

When are we going to talk to your parents?

Mr. Winkler?

What are you doing?

- Watching time go by. - Are you kidding me?

I didn't know you'd come.

Or I did?

Come down from there.

Come down I said!

Immediately.

I did what you wanted.

When you...

were with that woman...

did you think of keeping it to yourself? As a secret?

That wouldn't have been a good secret.

- But you did it anyway. - And I told you about it.

Right way. You did it and told me about it.

- It was nothing. It was... - Spit it out.

It didn't mean anything, It was just screwing.

That doesn't mean anything?

Can't screwing be weird sometimes?

Weird?

What's weird about it?

It's the most natural thing In the world.

Maybe that's why It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't mean anything if you're not in love.

Why are you asking me all these questions?

I don't know. I was just thinking about it, that's all.

Nice blouse.

I think one my boys stole it. For me.

You work with a bunch of nut cases, you know that.

Tim and Maite are gambling in Maite's room. Let's go.

But she's about to come in.

- You can't be serious. - Want me to roll that?

It's always the same...

We don't learn anything, so who cares if you're not here.

Does one of you recognize this blouse?

No?

It's a nice blouse, isn't it?

Do you like it?

Don't know. It makes you look younger.

Believe it or not, I like it.

And you?

You're so quiet.

Don't be shy.

Just answer my question.

Do you like it?

I don't wear blouses.

I prefer T-shirts, like this one.

You may go now.

This session is canceled.

Go ahead, you understood me correctly.

You, too.

Did you steal this blouse?

What are you after?

You followed me last night. You were watching me.

I wouldn't dare to do that.

Unless you...

Oh...

so I made you follow me?

Tomorrow is your appointment with the juvenile judge. Don't forget.

This young man has something to tell you. Jan, what do you have to say?

I can't hear you.

I'm sorry...

I shouldn't have done that.

I'm really sorry.

And you want to give something back, right? Jan?

The blouse? He paid with a pile of change. Is something wrong with it?

It's me.

I stole money from my housemates.

I don't know why.

I haven't told anyone.

What should I do now?

- Who was that? - No one. Work.

That was ludicrous...

How much?

I'm listening.

About a hundred euros.

That's a pretty sum.

I had to do it.

I'm sorry.

You've already said that.

Where did you get my home phone number?

Oh, well.

What are we going to do with you? What do you suggest?

Why don't we solve this amicably.

- No, I'll do it again, I swear! - Nonsense!

You know what I think?

You just want to hang out in my office and get special treatment.

Apologize and give the money back.

As you wish.

Leave my office immediately and send in the next one.

Leave me alone, damn it, what are you thinking?

I don't want this.

I know that you...

want to do things to me.

What are you talking about?

Well...

here I am.

You can have me.

You're the right woman to care for that boy.

I've known Jan for three years. He needs training, a job and he'll be okay.

But those are other people's expectations.

And Frieder was absolutely right.

You have to be able to establish boundaries and uphold them.

- Did I say that? - Yes.

Awesome.

If you uphold your boundaries, you'll reduce costs and save money!

And then you'll be able to afford what you want.

I'd have to save for a thousand years to afford what I want.

- What is it you want? - And what do you want?

I want...

- I want... - What I want isn't for sale.

Wow...

how philosophical, Mr. Winkler.

Then why do you steal money?

It's exciting.

Okay...

I think you have enough to think about.

And please fill out these lists for our discussion next week.

I have to lock the door.

I'll give you 30 seconds to get out of here.

You must be out of your mind.

Get your ass up and get out of here!

Is she nuts?

Everything okay, dude?

What's wrong?

Would you give one of my offenders an internship?

Only for two or three months. He's in a tough spot.

- You? - Me? No.

Oh, Jan.

Yes, Jan. He's getting out of control.

- Why is that my problem? - He needs a masculine job.

So you thought, "I'll give the little criminal to my husband".

I need to keep him away from me, and he needs someone.

A man like you.

When can he start?

Yesterday.

- Thanks. - Anytime.

Come in.

You start at eight tomorrow morning. Be punctual.

Place it on top like this and then press down. That's right.

What about that one?

That one? It's going to the junkyard. Pity.

- It used to be a real beauty. - Why don't you fix it?

Maybe...

It's fixable. I mean...

we could find spare parts.

I have to go home and eat, my stomach is growling.

What are you doing here?

What do you want?

We have some men's business. Jan and I want to play God.

We're going to breathe new life into an old beauty. Right, Jan?

He told me he makes great lasagna.

Well, then.

Show me your magic.

Not like that.

He can cook? That's a joke. He drops everything.

We need to consider how much it'll cost.

I guess...

we're looking at four or five thousand euros.

That's a big number, but it's an investment.

It's late, he should be going.

Well, then get out of here.

Bye.

He's my work. I don't want him in my house.

He can't just come here and turn everything upside down.

He didn't do anything. He's just a boy.

You have to know how to handle him.

You would know.

Is there anything you don't know?

What you... aren't sure of?

Elsa...

you're totally out of it.

I need counseling.

You're the best we've got. What's wrong?

I don't know. I feel...

- You're burnt-out. - I just want to speak with someone.

You know we don't have the money for that.

Talk to me.

Well...

maybe I just need a couple of days off.

Relax.

Have a little fun.

Sleep more.

Smoke less.

It'll work wonders.

Hi, Ralf.

Eight o'clock on the corner.

Do you come here often?

Sometimes.

With whom?

Come here.

Here.

To me.

And now?

What do we do now?

Talk to me.

Stop.

Like this?

You should know what you want.

Go over there.

I want you to take off your jacket.

And the shirt.

Did I say you could do that?

- No. - Then don't do it.

Maybe... you want to punish me.

Stand up.

Hit me.

- I can't. - In my face.

Or on my back.

That's enough.

I'll drive you home now.

I'll take you as far as the corner. You'll walk the rest of the way.

Alright.

Let's go.

I have a bone to pick with you.

You missed work yesterday.

I got in an argument with a housemate about...

A girl?

Right, and I was going to be late.

So you were afraid to come.

Come with me.

Awesome.

Where did you get it?

Help me out.

- Can you hand me the cayenne? - You put that in everything.

I don't know why we cook different dishes if they all taste like cayenne.

- I like it hot. - But I don't!

- Oh Elsa, don't make a fuss. - I'm making a fuss?

Come on, we'll make two pots.

Here you go.

Can you please hand me the cayenne now?

- Your food looks disgusting. - Thanks, yours does, too.

What pig left his wet boxers in the shower?

What are you, crazy?

You know what she told me?

She thinks you're cool.

She said that. Cool.

- Can I listen? - Yeah, sure.

- Is that their new album? - No, an old one.

- I have an even older one. - Really?

- What's it called? - Something with "bad".

I forgot, but I have it in my room. Want to hear it?

No, okay, I... I'll call again later.

I hate the dark.

Could you please give me my T-shirt?

I know. I'm too fat.

Take them off.

Your drawers.

No.

You're beautiful.

Walk across the room. I want to watch you.

- From there to there? - Directly across the room.

Again. And take your hands away.

Or are you shy?

You're that cool, huh?

Where are you?

Here.

No, you're not here. You're hiding in there.

You think I'm stupid? You think I don't notice?

That's more like it.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

What time is it?

Late.

Shit, I have to go.

What do you think of her?

- Who? - Seifert.

She likes you. The way she looks at you.

Have you seen her belly?

Tomorrow we're going to visit my dad.

She wants him to pay for my rent.

I haven't seen him for nine years.

I don't even know if he'll recognize me.

So you like that, huh?

Where did you get it?

From a shop.

You bought it in a sex shop?

They wouldn't let you into a sex shop.

You're too little for that, right?

I'll tell you where you got it.

From a pet shop.

Get up and come here.

Closer.

You'll only talk to me with that.

Understand?

Don't say It's beautiful.

It's 50 years old and it looks like that, too.

There's something over there.

Bring it to me.

Look straight ahead.

Where are you?

Inside of myself.

What do you feel there?

Hello?

Why aren't you at work?

And why did you lock the door?

I was taking a nap.

You don't usually do that.

Are you sick?

What are you doing here?

Dad said he'd planned a surprise outing for me.

- Didn't he mention it to you? - No.

Oh, well.

You know I can't stand that, it's pure sugar.

What else?

Are you having a nice Sunday?

I spent five hours on the train just to see Mom's bad mood, wow.

Should we go over and ride the bumper cars?

Good idea.

They'd make a nice couple, don't you think?

Do you want to set them up? That's absurd.

Are you jealous?

The boy isn't that attractive.

I meant jealous of Jan.

He's the one hitting on your daughter.

But you can see it your way, too.

- Where is she? - I think she's indisposed today.

She could have said something.

Don't you want to invite Jan to your birthday party Sunday?

My birthday's on Sunday, too.

Really? I hope that doesn't mean anything.

I want to see you.

Call me.

Damn it.

Never turn off your cell phone without my permission.

I waited for you for more than an hour. We were supposed to visit my dad.

Didn't we postpone that until next week?

I told Jan to tell you. Didn't he?

Where is Jan?

I don't know.

Frieder, I'm very sorry. We'll make an appointment for next week, okay?

Okay.

You know how hard it was to find his father. We have to stick to the plan.

You may be burnt-out, but that's not right.

It won't happen again.

It'll be okay.

Thanks.

You meet him. In the evening. At night.

You hang around with him.

Oh, yeah?

He's 16. Are you...?

You're not seriously in love.

You can't believe he's in love with you. He doesn't even have a crush.

Sorry, but he's a teenager.

He wants to experiment with sex. He wants to learn to screw.

A 16-year-old, my goodness.

We don't screw.

Whether you fuck or screw or make love...

It's illegal. You're his probation officer.

I'm having a sadomasochistic affair with the boy.

I hit him.

He wants it.

And I do, too.

He cries...

and I move around inside of him...

like in a blue room.

And something in me...

opens up wide.

I've never experienced anything like it.

It's beautiful.

Blow it out!

- We bought this for you. - Thanks!

- It was my idea. - Exciting.

No way. Awesome, man. Thanks.

Thanks.

And tonight we're going to have a party here.

The social workers okayed it.

I'm going to Mr. Wagner's and Mrs. Seifert's house.

I've already organized everything.

I even invited a few buddies.

The social workers okayed it.

I'm sorry.

You're a total kiss-ass.

Hello.

- Hello? - Is Jan here?

I don't think so.

My dad said he'll pay. I don't need your help anymore.

Who was that?

Another prot�g� you can tie up and screw?

Sorry, you don't screw him. You hit him and move around inside of him.

Piss off.

Get out of our lives.

What happened to your invitation?

It was a bad idea.

Come on...

let's have our own party.

- What did you do to him? - Did you know it's my birthday?

He's just a boy. He can't help it.

Mom?

How much beer did you drink?

You're so stupid!

Can someone answer that?

Yes?

I want to celebrate with you.

Yeah.

We... we...

Don't be shy, tell me.

You'd tie me up so that I can't move and...

and... hurt me.

Alright.

At the corner. See you.

See you soon.

- What are you doing? - We have to go.

We stole the car. We have to have it back by tomorrow.

Know what?

I don't think so.

I think we should party a little more.

So tell me how she was.

- Was she good? - Yes, of course.

And that, your friend there?

I bet he was good. He loves that.

I'm right, aren't I? You love it!

Come on, take off your jacket.

- Take off your T-shirt. - Take it off! Take it off...

What next? Spin the bottle? I'm not 12 anymore.

"I'm not 12 anymore".

- How did you like that? - Let's go.

He likes it when you push him around, right?

He likes it a lot!

I'm right! I'm right!

I'll wait 15 more minutes, then our party's over.

It's the old hag, the old hag!

Tell her to come by so you can get it on!

Does she do that to you?

Does she do that to you?

What are you, stupid?

- What are you doing? - What? Hey, stay here.

You're so sick.

You make me want to puke.

Do you want to know how I feel?

- Help me. - What happened?

Well?

They just did it for fun. It was the mechanic's idea to report it.

- We would have given Jan... - The car?

- A 16-year-old? - 17.

- You're making a fool of yourself. - He's a victim.

Good doctors are taking care of him.

I spoke with the department head.

Your work has become poor. This shouldn't sound like a threat...

but pull yourself together.

It's always warm in Brazil.

We'll live by the ocean.

We won't need much money. I'll find a job.

I'll always be with you.

We're flying tomorrow night.

Sao Paulo. Brazil. The ocean.

I bought them with your money, but I'll pay you back.

You don't have to be afraid.

I'll speak with the judge.

He'll put you in a group...

where you won't be alone.

But we're flying tomorrow night.

You're hurt. You're...

17.

Don't tell me how old I am.
