Original subtitles

There you are, little one?

My name is Rudolf, but you can also call me Rudi.

Yes, here, try this.

Were you in Grandma's carrots?

How did you manage to do that?

Just don't get caught.

You know how angry she can get.

I'm also angry.

But not on you, but on Dad.

And Semra.

They're actually having another child.

Do you know what that means, Rudi?

Everything will now revolve around the baby.

And then I don't matter to her at all.

Otherwise, no one asks.

I said no, Melinda.

And I also mean no.

Oh great.

And where, pray tell, am I supposed to live in Cologne?

Definitely not in a shared apartment where you're the only girl.

The boys were totally nice.

You hardly know these guys and want to move in with them?

I can't believe it.

Inanamirom.

Wait, please don't be so uptight.

Oh, you think I'm boring because I worry about my underage.

Daughter moving alone to the big city

wants to go to some complete strangers.

They are not complete strangers.

One is named Kirk, the other is named Spock, and the third is named Scotty.

How do you know that?

This is the crew of the starship Enterprise, Melinda.

You don't even know their real names.

So what?

Mom, please don't stress now.

I started this and I'm going through with it.

Melinda, you are not moving into that boys' flat share.

Understood?

Please be very reasonable, Melinda.

Are you also getting a roof drink?

No, that's for mom.

Here, Mom, this is for you.

Everything that's good for tension is there.

Really?

Mmmh.

Delicious, thank you.

Wow, I can hardly wait until my little sibling is finally here.

You see, Rudi, it's already starting.

Soon everything will revolve around the baby.

You Eila, I have a small question.

Can I have these teddies here?

I found them in the basement.

They belong to me.

What do you want with that?

Ah, our institute is collecting money for a children's hospital in Rwanda,

Stuffed animals, old toys, and so on.

Then you can have them.

I'll see if I have more.

Really?

That's nice.

Fritz, what is with you?

Do you also have old toys that you no longer need?

No, I don't have anything.

Come, pair of old games.

Is really for a good cause.

Since when are little snotty noses a good thing?

You can come with us to the village, From house to house.

We are collecting donations there.

I'll meet you shortly with Nick.

He can help us.

But I don't feel like going around begging all day.

What does begging mean?

We collect old toys here, Fritz.

You would also be glad if you were in distress and someone would help you.

What's wrong with him?

He's not usually like that.

I think he's a little mad that we didn't

asked for permission that we are having a child.

Yes, that could be.

What do you look like?

I also told you that I'm with the scouts.

I'm meeting with my clan in the forest shortly to mark diseased trees.

But we had an appointment.

Because we are scouts, we perform at least one good deed every day.

Always ready.

This is our motto.

Great.

So I am ready for a round of football.

But that is not a good deed.

Help the old woman across the street.

Or do something for nature.

Or give his old teddy bears to his father.

Huh?

Oh nothing.

Why does everyone suddenly want to do good?

Because it's fun.

You just feel good afterwards.

There is opportunity for it everywhere.

Here, for example.

Are you going to the bathroom like that?

So I bring her there.

Just like that.

No one has to be grateful to me for it.

Um, no.

What is that supposed to be?

All right.

I am a Scout.

You don't have to be grateful to me.

Where is the bathroom?

Now listen up, you clown.

I just dragged the crate down with great effort.

And that's exactly where she's heading back to now.

Understood?

Look, Rudi.

How satisfying such a good deed can be.

Very funny.

You could have said that earlier, too.

I wanted to, though.

You were on a roll.

Very funny.

I must go.

Look.

Daniel can have them all.

But one thing I would like to keep for myself.

For the baby.

That's really kind of you, Ayla.

It gets the lion.

And now I'm going to Lena.

She also has donations.

Man, Melinda.

Don't be so stubborn now.

What do you actually want?

That I wear a head shoe to protect myself from the looks of the boys?

Don't overdo it.

Or maybe I should wrap myself in sacks.

Or wear a burka.

Annele, you can't know it.

You know very well that it is not about that.

There you are again, little one.

Rudi, where are you?

Rudi.

Oh, how do you know what my name is?

I mean him.

Rudi.

Oh, you're also named Rudi.

You are becoming more and more likable to me.

We actually already ran into each other this morning.

Do both belong to you?

Are we staying together?

Yes.

Rudi is my best friend.

Oh, good friends are so important.

Unfortunately, I'm on the road too much to have any.

Are you a tramp?

Yes.

Tramp, homeless person, bum.

Depending on how nicely you want to put it.

Rudolf Simmer.

Fritz Fröhlich.

It is an honor for me.

Don't you have a home?

But, but.

I have the country road.

I move from one place to another.

I ask who will give me something to eat.

Or a place to sleep is provided.

Such a barn or something like that.

I also sleep in a barn.

But voluntarily.

What we all have in common.

Yes, for me it's not quite so voluntary.

But?

It's a long story.

Do you not have any work?

Yes, yes.

I have already had a lot of jobs.

I have already worked as a sailor on a fishing boat.

I have already worked in the circus.

As a trapeze artist.

Oskar!

What's the matter, my little star?

Were you messing with my carrots?

No, my little star.

And my tomatoes?

Did you pick those?

No, my little star.

I've had enough of the vegetables you serve me.

Right, I won't secretly eat from it.

Then you were a thief.

Rudi!

No.

One with bigger feet.

Yes, and when I had then completed the three-and-a-half somersault,

there was no challenge for me anymore at the circus.

Then I went to America and worked at

worked as a cowboy for the big four herds.

Cowboy?

Yes, but that's a completely different story.

You, I have to go.

What is with your legs?

I turned around.

Twisted?

The ankle is really swollen.

It's no big deal.

But they can't walk like that.

I just need to find something where I can sleep tonight.

Where at?

No idea.

It was a great pleasure for me, Fritz.

Ah, hello Daniel.

Peter, hello.

We are collecting for a children's hospital in Rwanda.

Do you have something for us?

I would like to give you a donation.

But my business, it's not really running so well anymore.

We also have donations in kind, old toys and so on.

I still have a very nice old soccer ball in the basement.

Would be great, of course.

Yes, have you ever heard about the old sticks?

Whose son yesterday had a vagrant

let stay overnight in his barn.

And he stole something from there.

Really?

What?

Linda?

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if

you share the bathroom and toilet with these guys?

I mean, you're usually so picky.

If I manage to live with a pig under the roof, then I will.

Yeah, probably still endure it with a few guys, right?

You're mistaken.

Could be that I'm mistaken.

But maybe you'll just let me have my own experiences and

finally treat me like a little child.

Oh, Melinda!

I'm right that I don't love you much anymore.

But if you don't turn on anymore...

Melinda?

Melinda?

Melinda?

What happened?

Day.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I am Rudi and I am taking a full bath.

I see that.

And why are you taking a bath?

Yes, life on the street is sometimes quite dusty.

And then I thought it was a Good idea... What is wrong?

There's a strange man sitting in our tub and his name is Rudi.

Day.

Day.

Sorry, if I had known what kind of operation is going on here in.

Bathroom, I would have locked up, of course.

Get out of our bathtub immediately.

I don't think it's a good idea, I don't accept anything from you.

Eila, Melinda, please go outside.

And I should not move into a boys' shared apartment because I

then then my bathroom would have to with strange parts.

How did you actually get in here?

Your son Fritz was kind enough to take me along and he said,

I would smell something and should take a bath first... Fritz.

Smelling is good.

They stink.

Where is Fritz?

Fritz!

He is getting something to eat.

Are those my tomatoes?

And my carrots?

I'm afraid so.

You are a thief!

Yes, that was pilfering, yes.

But these are the best tomatoes and the best carrots I have ever eaten.

Do you really mean that?

Took quite a lot of effort.

Yes, you can taste that too.

So, that's enough.

They are now getting out of the bathtub,

getting dressed, and disappearing very quickly.

Yes, we placed the advertisement.

Two people to America in September.

Please?

This is not for you.

How much do you want to pay?

But listen, that's not even half of what we paid.

Hello?

Hello?

You won't believe what I'm experiencing right now.

No matter what it is, Oskar, I believe I can do it.

I need a pair of old clothes from you.

Oh, I am so grateful to you, Aunt Damla.

Today we are talking about us.

I have to go now.

See you soon.

Bye, bye, Saul.

See you.

Goodbye.

I'm heading out then.

Thank you for the hospitality.

My last bath was really a long time ago.

What's wrong with your leg?

Nothing.

Twisted.

I am a doctor.

Show me.

I am not insured.

I am still a doctor.

I still had a sausage.

Betty, we shouldn't postpone the trip.

Oskar, I want to be there when the baby comes.

But the baby is coming without you, too.

Don't you know?

When will I have another opportunity to welcome a newborn in our house?

Why do you still have the opportunity to join me at

to drive the Highway Number One into the sunset?

Or to spit from the Statue of Liberty?

Oskar, I want all of this too.

But Daniel and Semra need us.

No, they are happy when we are there.

But they don't need us.

Sternchen, I want to go to America with you.

That is our old dream.

If we don't make it happen now, then nothing will ever come of it.

Come on, say something.

Cheerful.

Oh, Karin, it's you.

Therefore, you should rather rest your foot for the time being.

Are you Turkish?

Yes.

Dr. Hanim.

Beautiful country.

I'll see if I have an ointment for you.

There is Dad.

Here for you.

I'm now getting another Rudi from the train.

Please.

You are really stupid, nowhere to bring a few things up.

That's already my second good deed today.

And what was the first one?

I'll show you that.

You will be amazed.

Oh, can one help?

Oh.

What was that about?

And what is this second Rudi that you have brought along?

A dog or a cat?

Oh, may I introduce my good deed.

This is Rudi.

Hi.

Good day.

Fritz, you simply cannot invite a complete stranger to our house

invite him and offer that he can live with us.

Only until he is healthy again.

You yourself said that one must help those impoverished by poverty.

Yes, I said that.

There you go.

Rudi is poor and sick and I helped him.

Just a moment, please.

You really don't have to worry.

He will sleep in the barn with me.

Correct?

You don't know it at all.

I'll go into the other room.

He is nice.

That one already hurts me.

Wait a minute, it's just loud... How would you know that?

I just know that.

Now listen up.

Bauer Stücken was robbed by a homeless person last night.

He slept in the barn with him.

This morning, the toolbox and work suit are missing.

And why should it have been Rudi?

Rudi?

Are they talking about you?

There are no homeless people in Engelsbach.

You are mean.

Rudi is Candy.

I think they mean me.

Of course you have.

Departure.

Listen to reason, Fritz.

You are just like the people you always complain about.

Who do you mean?

Everyone who is always afraid of Turks.

And from strangers.

And especially those who are different from myself.

No, no, no, that is unjust.

I cannot allow you to with a complete stranger.

People sleeping together in the barn.

How do you imagine that?

Then I'll just learn to fight first.

Come!

Rudi?

Yes?

Rudi?

Rudi?

Go away!

Are you satisfied here?

No, I'm not.

Crap.

Wait!

Where do you want to go?

Fritz!

I move on, your father is right.

You don't know me at all.

Maybe I really am a thief.

Are you one?

Listen up.

I'm telling you the truth now.

I stayed with these farmers.

But I didn't steal anything.

I swear that.

I believe you.

Nice to meet you.

Really pleased.

But the others don't believe me.

I have to get out of here.

But why, if you are innocent?

I'm...

I never worked at the circus and I also didn't work on any fishing boat

worked and I have never been to America either.

I spent a few years in prison because I had stolen.

And?

Why did you lie to me?

I couldn't bring myself to do such a great.

Boys like you such a sad story to tell.

And besides, that's nothing to be proud of.

Do you understand now why I have to leave?

Someone like me is not believed.

I set the dining table in the Schranne.

Delicious things.

From my grandma.

Help yourself!

Ah, but that looks... great.

But I don't want you to get into trouble with your father because of me, okay?

He's actually not like that at all.

Good.

Oh...

Melinda?

Melinda!

Melinda!

I just spoke with Aunt Dammler.

Oh, with the crazy one.

Well, she might be a little strange,

but for now you can stay with her in Cologne.

What?

Well, that's a compromise.

You move out, but you don't move into this boys' shared apartment.

Oh, be quiet.

Melinda, I mean it seriously!

What do you want here?

Heard you're moving away today?

Yes.

When I look at you like that, I think that is a very good decision.

Still mad at me.

Don't get any ideas.

You are way too indifferent to me for me to be angry with you.

Too bad.

I just started to like you.

Really?

Then I might end up liking it.

Clear.

Disappear.

Melinda Koray?

Hello, Aunt Damna.

Really?

Yes?

Yes, great!

That you simply help someone in need, I think it's great, really.

I believe I didn't really appreciate that earlier.

Okay.

But?

But I still can't allow you to call me Rudi.

To invite you, simply to sleep with you in the barn.

But I don't know where to.

Yes.

But that's like a suggestion.

He sleeps in the barn and you move back into your room for the time being.

Okay.

You don't have to be upset about the baby.

You are and will remain my big one.

Nobody in the house would like you any less

have, just because we are now having another child.

I know that.

Yes?

Then it's good.

I think I still have a teddy bear for the hospital.

Summertime and the livin' is easy.

Fische springen und die Baumwolle steht hoch.

Your daddy's rich and your mama good-looking.

Hush little Baby, don't cry.

Oh, Oskar, where did you get that from?

Borrowed.

Oh, Bettilein, please.

Let's go to America, as planned.

The baby will still be there when we come back.

All right.

But only if you sing as beautifully in America as you do now.

Where is the guy who stole from me?

Hello for now, Mr. Stücken.

Who are you looking for?

You know that very well.

Put that bum who my.

Toolbox and my work suit has been stolen.

They are looking for Rudi.

Who says that?

Your mother told Karin and you Walter told you and he...

Yes, yes, it's fine, but if you are looking for this Mr. Rudi, he is our guest.

Right?

Beautiful guests.

Well, no wonder that someone like him hides from the Fröhlichs.

They are thieves themselves.

Caution, caution.

You do not call us thieves.

You don't.

Everyone knows that you stole my pig.

Nonsense.

Rudi belongs to me.

Yes, that's not what it's about.

I want this bum so I can give him a beating.

You climb back onto your tractor and see

that you find the reverse gear, yes?

Yes, and if not?

Then I first let the air out of the tractor and then yes.

I just want something from that bum.

You probably haven't really understood me yet.

This is Mr. Rudi.

This is our guest.

Give me back my competition box, or I'll come get it myself.

Is this your toolbox?

Tell me, what is my toolbox doing on your scooter?

The box keeps acting up constantly, I need tools for that.

But my work suit.

He snatched it up.

No.

No.

You said that I should put a scarecrow in the east pasture.

Tell me, did you dress my good work suit like a scarecrow?

Tell me, what kind of role is that?

Well, pieces, I really don't know what you're still looking for here.

We'll talk again.

Good, now.

Thank you very much.

Not many would have done that.

Fritz, thank you very much.

Fritz and I also have a suggestion on where you can sleep for the next nights.

Ah.

I just talked to Aunt Damna on the phone.

I could have the big room with the balcony all to myself.

Well, but you don't want to go there.

I could give it a try.

But if you annoy me, then I'll move out again immediately.

Agreed.

Then we must go immediately, all the boxes

pack into the car so we can get away from here.

But you can also stay here if you want.

Mom?

Alright.

Good.

I help you.

Yes, then.

Thank you, Mom.

For everything.

We are talking on the phone.

Yes, sure.

Here is a light switch.

Oh man, I'm not used to so much luxury anymore.

I am really a lucky guy to have met you.

And by the way, the toilet is over there.

And here you can also wash yourself.

Ah, thanks.

Yes, you want to sleep.

Good.

Rudi.

Fritz.

Good night.

Good night.

Come Fritz, it's time for bed.

You were really good earlier, when the sticks arrived here.

I let the air out of him.

Strong.

Do you know who was strong?

You.

Do you know why?

Because you helped Rudi.

And because you have a really good understanding of people.

I am proud of you.

Really?

Come on now!
