I said that he had stupidly long hair

and asked how he knew that I was being released from prison today.

He said the lawyer told him.

I asked if there is a heater in this car.

I asked, "Where we are going?"

Jonas wants to see you.

I said that I didn't want to have anything to do with this old story.

That Jonas is crazy.

That I knew just as little about where the money is as you.

That I didn't want to have anything to do with this situation.

That I served my time in jail and didn't rat anybody out.

I don't know anything, do you understand?

I said, "Put different music on or at least turn the volume lower."

I asked him to stop at the next cigarette machine and to give me a one mark coin.

Up there.

I complained that the jukebox is still playing Italian records...

That I pushed my songs in over fifteen minutes ago.

Could you turn up the music?

I said, "Could I have the telephone?

...and turn the music lower."

Yes? Hello.

Who is there?

I asked her to give me change for 50 pfennig. I only need one groschen.

Peter? It's me.

Yeah. How are you?

Nervous?

Ask him if you can meet him, where, and preferably soon.

Yes, of course I can do that. Where are you right now?

The sheriff shoots after him and... and... hits the water container and...

the other guys say, "Now you missed" and he says, "No, I did hit the target."

And then they flee through a desert and... they find a gypsy convoy which was robbed...

and only one woman is still alive... and... she just had a baby and... she dies...

and the three guys take the kid and find a book about how to take care of a baby...

and they try to do their best to take care of the baby...

and at the end... only Wayne is left and... he comes to a town with the baby...

the town is called something like New Bethlehem, or New Jerusalem...

he still meets some thieves on the way and...

and at the end when he comes to town with the kid there is a star over it and...

that is like, like... somebody said, how is it possible that John Wayne suddenly has anything to do

with the three holy men?

And, all of sudden, he has something to do with them, that's clear.

That's like... in Hatari, like they told themselves, "How do we do it that Wayne has a bird cage on his head?"

But it needs to be completely serious... and it can't be funny.

I said that I was in the mood to see a movie at the cinema.

What film would you like to go and see?

I don't know, but I would like to see an old black and white film.

I don't want to see a new film now.

One could go and see Alphaville.

"Automatic Food Market"

I said, "I'll give you 20 Marks if you just drive me around...

Lanzberger Street, straight up and far out."

I asked him if this is not the spot where the Auguster Cinema once stood.

He said that they just recently made a supermarket out of it.

Even the Crystal and the Film Burg have closed down.

The Film Burg is now a flea market.

Hello? It's me...

Nothing... yeah...

It's alright.

Listen, can I stay with you for a few days? Yeah, even tonight, if that's OK with you.

OK, listen. The street car is coming. I gotta go... I'll be right over.

Aren't you very tired?

No, I am not tired.

Can you put a record on?

With pleasure.

I want to read a little bit now. Don't you have any novels about criminals?

There is one right on top there. I'm also gonna get you a blanket.

Here.

I am going to sleep now.

Good night.

Is it the TV that makes the high pitched whistle?

Yes.

I said that I wouldn't know any of these new records.

Don't you have any records by The Kinks?

The Troggs.

I wanna hear that one.

Did you sleep well?

At 7 AM the jack-hammer started making noise downstairs. I didn't go back to sleep after that.

I said that I might go to Berlin.

I said that in Berlin, a house was demolished on the corner of Kurfursten Damm & Bleichtreu St.

A grey, five story house.

There were a bunch of people there... and two big bulldozers.

It was in the late afternoon. It was almost dark and the sky was blue, even though it was November.

Over the hole in the ground, the sky was devided vertically.

On the left side it was blue and on the right side there a wall of dust and smoke which reached into the horizon.

I said that the sky was almost too blue and too dark.

Maybe a little stronger and heavier maybe.

Yesterday at around 5 PM, I took a taxi into town.

Because of the heavy traffic, we had to wait at many traffic lights.

Two times I observed drivers that took a pill while they were waiting for the light to change.

Yes, he is here. Just a moment.

Hans? Hans... Jonas or something like that.

I have to leave immediately. Can you give me The Troggs record... as a gift?

I am also taking the book.

It's me.

Me!

Yeah? Yeah... OK.

I'll see you in a second.

Shit.

No, he isn't here anymore. He left an hour ago.

He said something about Switzerland. I think he wanted to rent a car.

Christian, could you come by with your car? Yes, it's very important. OK, bye.

Do you know the people in the car behind us?

We have to get rid of them.

The Chevy is too fat.

Where do you want to look now?

Somewhere in the area where he used to live.

Where do we drive to now?

The airport is our best bet now. I bought a ticket for you. 4:15 PM on the Pan Am to Berlin.

Going to Berlin is a good idea.

I said that wish I could have gone to the cinema in Munich.

In Berlin, they very rarely play good movies.

And the theaters are nicer in Munich, also.

In Berlin, near the place where I used to live, there is a gas station with the Company logo for "AMOCO".

I said that when I first saw the word "AMOC" appear between the old buildings, I got a big shock.

I could have never imagined this. When I walked a few more steps, the whole sign was visible.

I will probably never see these "AMOCO" gas stations again.

It's probably an Italian brand. The company logo is a oval with blue writing on red background.

Or white writing on blue and red background.

(Difficult to understand. Something about a forest, coal and people that sell coal on the side of the road.)

There is not enough coal and some old people died because they froze to death.

Is it my turn?

I went for a walk this afternoon.

I started to run after a while.

It was snowing unbelievably much.

When the storm all of a sudden stopped, nobody was on the street and only one car on the Kurfursten Damm.

And the snow plows arrived with incredible noise and started to clean up the street.

The city looked like a ghost town on that afternoon.

Can you start the record from the beginning please?

I'm winning. Ha ha ha!

You always liked port wine.

Yes.

Did she have any idea that I would visit her?

What did you all this time?

I said, "One year in Straddleheim Prison. She should know that."

Somebody should recount what happened to them in a year... and it would take a full year to tell the story.

One year prison. One year telling the story.

The story only comes to you piece by piece.

You think that you have something in common with the other inmates.

You want to speak to them and you realize that they don't really want that.

You are together in the walking area, but you are not together.

Every day we have to go for walks. During the summer it's especially bad.

One side is in the shade and the other side is in the sun.

On the sunny side everybody pushes you and on the shady side everybody runs through

and almost push others aside.

You have to deal with pimps that tell you stories about their whores and deals they make

and that you should invest in their shitty schemes. Yet you still have to live with them.

The strange thing is that these idiotic people are very stable in other areas.

They run their little businesses in jail. They sell cigarettes and so on.

I said, "I never had cigarettes anyway.

I would have smoked way to much.

By twelve, all the tobacco would have been gone.

Then you would have to wait eight hours for more cigarettes.

Now they are lying in front of you and you don't think about it."

"The Successwagen"

Somebody should write about it or talk to somebody about it.

Tell the whole story all the way to the end.

I just started reading a story and I am a little mad that I didn't read it before.

Before I went away.

It's called 'Der Kutterer'.

- By? - Bernhard. Thomas Bernhard.

He describes how this guy is in prison, the Kutterer.

He is afraid to get out. He is afraid of the day when the rhythm

in which he moves and the thoughts that he's allowed to think...

will not return.

That he has to go back to his wife and kids. Afraid that he can't do all the things

that he's able to do in prison.

He sat down during the night with his notebook and after he got used to the dark,

he wrote down his thoughts.

Simple thoughts that just came into his head. So, while other people slept and dreamed,

he wrote down his thoughts.

Every thing and every move that happened to him during his locked-up life.

The time when he knew he wouldn't be able to get away or change anything...

those are the things he wrote down.

Other inmates used to laugh at him and make fun of him.

But at the same time, what he was doing was so strange and foreign to everybody...

that they were too creeped out to actually attack him.

He never attacked anybody else either.

He did things the right way. He never acted pompous or arrogant

He always gave very short answers like "Yeah, that's OK" and "Yeah, I know".

That's pretty much all he said, but he wrote all his thoughts down.

Then he talked about mathematics, which he really started to like

during the time he spent in prison.

How math is very clear. Order within order.

How he can deal with math and how he can move in math.

Do you have cat somewhere?

That's next door on the balcony.

Oh, I see.

You just know as you read the book, I mean I haven't finished it yet but...

I can just imagine that the story will end horribly.

Maybe they won't even talk about what happens when he gets home.

The luck of being able to write down all his thoughts while in prison.

At the end, he was even able to tell other people about his writings

and they even asked him to read from his notebook.

From all of his notebooks.

I don't even know if I will finish reading the book.

As you read the book line by line, you can just imagine how it will end.

It doesn't have to be death.... I'm just thinking of this stupid joke.

I have to tell you, it's unbelievably stupid.

Some idiot in prison told me this.

Two frogs are walking on a country road... behind each other,

on the right hand side. Suddenly, the one in the back turns around

and screams. Turns back to face foward and yells out:

"WATCH OUT THERE IS A TRUCK COM-SPLAT"

Very strange!

Yeah I know. I laughed hysterically when I first heard it.

Now I don't like that much anymore.

I asked her if she was in the mood to see a film.

She replied that if I dial 115-12, I could listen to what's playing at the theater.

(Listing movie titles playing)

I said, "The voice of the female announcer was shrill and annoying.

She actually screamed the movie titles."

"Now she will play a record" She says: "And now, some music."

Do you wanna listen to it?

Nothing good is playing?

Not really.

How much more do you have to read?

She said that in the newspaper there are pictures of all the German cities

showing snow plows cleaning the streets of all the major business areas.

Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. On the picture from Berlin there is somebody

that looks very much like me.

I said, "What was that? Show me."

That really is me.

I was at the Kurfursten Damm yesterday during the snow storm.

I guess they'll be here very soon.

They will recognize me from the photo, I'm sure.

I think the best thing would be when I Ieave the country.

To America.

I said: "I was really in the mood to go to America."

I will call Pan Am right away.

Yes, hello. I wanted to get some information.

I want to fly to New York in the next few days.

Are there formalities I need to take care of before hand?

A visa?

How do you get one of those?

Shit.

I said: "I'm already flying tonight.

New York is not going to work.

It takes way too long to get a visa.

I would have to stay here for another two weeks and that's just too risky."

She asked me, "Where are you going to fly to?"

I said, "To Amsterdam, via Dusseldorf.

So I'm not going to be here tonight.

The taxi is still waiting downstairs."

I bought some glasses.
