okay

Doc?

the woman is lovely

which one

What’s that?

Which woman?

Oh yes

Are you still in?

Count me out

Max?

I’ll see you

Okay wait a moment

Shit

You ruin me with that sort of thing

You don’t have to play

I can’t stand the waiting

He’ll come

I want to go home

Shut your trap

These women...

Are you playing or not?

Sure

Okay then

I’ll take two

Yeah!

Okay thanks

He’s arrived

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

The earth is round

No, the earth’s a shere

My God, are you funny

And anyway you are far too thin

Are you a real American?

Americans fuck fantastically

No

It all began in Germany

Once upon a time, there was a little boy

He flew over the great pond

Damn it

Give that to me! Cheers

It’s okay

I think you’re great somehow

And anyway...

...if you want a fat girl...

...fat ones are a dime a dozen

I just happen to be slim

Shut your trap

Whatever you say

Okay, get out. Go on

We were going to a hotel

Look at me

Be nice to me

Beat it

Okay...

...then give me some money

A hundred marks, and I’ll get out at once

I’m dead

They were just blanks

I’m in the picture. Thanks

There’s a room reserved for me

What was the name?

Richard Murphy

Oh yes?

That’s right. Room 36

How long will you be staying?

Do you have to know that?

No of course not

Room 36

I’ll carry that myself

He’s arrived

Okay

Thank you, Sir

Hey

Yes,Sir

Bring me a bottle of Ballantine’s

Yes, Sir

Put it down there

Hey

Something has to happen in this case

Is that clear

Sure

Thank you

Have you interrogated the gypsy?

This El Quitano?

We’ve had him shadowed

We’ve interrogated him endlessly

Nothing. Absolutely nothing

Bring him here. It’s ridiculous

This woman Magdalena

Fuller, Sir

That’s right

This Magdalena Fuller...

couldn’t you get anything out of her?

She’s as silent as the grave. Not a word

Strange. Normally, she’s more talkative

Anyway, keep things moving

And that’s an order

I hope I’ve made myself clear

You can go now

Jan?

Yes

The percentage of capital crimes solved in this town...

...is far below the national average

The reputation of the city’s police is at stake

I know, Sir

Thanks

Bye

But the child’s yours!

Does the whole house have to hear?

I’m expecting a baby! I’m expecting a baby!

High time, too

Where are you going?

To the chief

We’ve just come from him

How did it go?

He knows nothing

Don’t let the cat out of the bag

A steak with ketchup and a glass of tomato juice

Thanks

Come in

Come here

Bring me the wiskey

beat it

Hello

yes, sure.I’ll make a note of it

Tony el Quitano

That’s my buisness

Sure it’s always urgent

Thanks

I’d like a number in Munich

The name is Franz Walsch

W for “war”, A for “Alamo”, L for”Lenin”

S for “Science fiction”, C for “Crime”...

...H for “Hell”

Thanks. I’ll wait

Who’ speaking?

Hi Franz

Richard von Rezzori here

I arrived last night

Sure. I’ll pick you up

See you soon

Were are you taking us

To our old neighborhood

How was it in Vietnam?

Loud

Oh Yeah?

Nothing happened here

Nothing ever happens in Germany

I’m rather fond of old Germany, all the same

Nothing changed here

Looks that way

Most of people here have died

Pretty unhealthy area

Just imagine

I lived here 14 years

I thought as much

Mr. von Rezzori and Mr. Walsch

Back from America

No just visiting

remember me to your mother

Come and see us again soon

I will Mrs Lang. You can count on it

I need someone who knows what’s going on, what deals are being made...

...where certain people can be found

There’s only one person who fits the bill

Her name is Magdalena

Where do I find her?

She always hangs around in the same bar selling porn

At the Lola Montez

That’s were Inga sings, too

Which Inga?

Your Inga

Were are you staying?

At the Blue House

If you need anything

Okay. I’m in the picture

(SONG)

Ballantine’s, straight

... without ice

I want to buy some porn

Over there

May I join there

handsome stranger. Sure

Need some information

I have some magazines

Don’t worry. I pay well

Five hundred

I’m looking for a gipsy

Tony el Quitano

Gypsy colony number one

Hangs out in the bar most of the time

There’s only one

Any special characteritics?

He reads people’s palms...

...is a hard drinker...

...is gay...

...keeps two gorillas

That’s enough

And what do you do?

I sing and...

And?

I’m married

To him

We’re very happy together

Bye

Ricky

Who was that?

You wouldn’t understand

You’re gypsies, aren’t you?

You can all read palms

That was long ago

Hardly anyone can today

He can. Tony, there

Yeah?

Show me

What do you see?

Very bad

What?

Come here. I’ll tell you

I live upstairs

Okay?

You don’t always have to believe in that sort of thing

What did you see?

He hasn’t long to live

I’m going

I want to be alone tonight

You can stay here

I thought you pay us to protect you

Nothing will happen tonight


Good night

Another round

Who’s there?

It’s me

Come in

Get me a woman, okay?

But something with class

What? In broad daylight?

He wants a whore

By all means. Certainly

Tirili, tirila

Shut up

Answer it!

Answer the damn thing

Hello?

Just a moment

Who is it?

Murnau

Murnau?

Just a woman?

The killer wants a woman

Okay. Get him one

Bye

Wait a minute

I’ll send you Rosa

In half an hour

What am I meant to do?

The killer wants a woman. Okay?

It’s better if you go

than if he blabs to someone else

I’m fond of you

That’s why

Get a move on

Leave that here

Come in

Get undressed

Go to the bathroom

Fortune isn’t always funny

There was a cleaning woman

in Hamburg called Emmy

She was 60 or 65 years old

One day...

on her way home,

it began to pour with rain

...so she goes into a bar


where foreign workers hang out

and she sits down and drinks a cola

suddenly a man asks her...

to dance with him

A really big guy with broad shoulders

she finds him attractive...

...and dances with him

Afterwards he sits down...

...and talks with her

He tells her he doesn’t have a place to stay

So Emmy says he can go to her place

He goes to her place

and he sleeps with her...

and a few days later...

...he suggests they get married

And so they got married

Suddenly Emmy was all young again

From behind, she looked about 30

For six months they lived madly

and were incredibly happy

Life was one round of parties

Then one day

Emmy was found dead, murdered...

...with the marks of a signet ring

on her throat

The police arrested her husband

His name was Ali, and there had

been a letter A on the ring

But he said he had

lots of friends named Ali...

...and they all had a signet ring

They interrogated every Turk

in Hamburg called Ali

A lot had returned to Turkey

and the others didn’t understand

Magdalena Fuller

And what about the money?

You’ll be given, for the third assignment...

...$25,000, as agreed

Everything goes wrong

What?

It won’t work. Something stinks about it

Pull yourself together

I can’t stand the tension

Pull yourself together

I’m not having you ruin everything

Shall we dine out together tomorrow

Wait a moment

Pierre, no! I want to serve you!

I’ll do whatever you want

I’ll kiss your feet, anything

Pierre, Ill kill myself!

No! You can’t leave me! Pierre!

I’ve given you everything!

I’m your slave, Pierre!

You swine!

You swine!

I loved you so much, Pierre

You look good

Yeah!

I’ll pick you up tomorrow

No

I’ll meet you at the Bologna

Okay

Thanks. Keep the change

Hello. Who’s that?

Mother, I’m in Germany

Yes I am. Okay

I’m on the corner. I’ll come by now

Yes of course

Come and see us

Ricky’s here

Why, Ma?

You’ve cut yourself

It’s time you grew up

You’ll stand by me, won’t you, Ma?

Nice place you have here

Your husband has moneyRickey?

Kurt

Richard

Won’t you sit down?

Did you come through the war in one piece?

I’m okay, Mother

My son

Play a game with me

Give me some money!

It’s okay

What are you doing in Germany?

Buisness, Mother

How is your father?

i haven’t seen him for ages

No?

No!

My father lives in a different world

His friends...

...you know...

...are all...

It wasn’t my scene

I must be going now

Ciao, Mother

Oh, Ma!

I still love him

Is that Bohm?

Marquard Bohm?

I want you to keep an eye on my son

His name’s Richard von Rezzori

Two related murders

And on the same day

There’s something fishy here

The Fuller woman said she wanted

to speak with me alone about the gypsy

Chief, that woman sold information

She probably thought the chief could

I’ve appointed a special commisioner

I’m taking the case out of your hands as of now

Thank you, that’s all. You can go

But I’m following a hot lead

If we have to drop the case now...

Okay between us, you can carry on

But I have a responsibility

to the public, too, you understand

Sure, chief. Thanks

There was an elephant...

...in Belgium

Everyone loved it

Especially the kids

But it became quieter and quieter

And one day, it attacked its keeper

It trampled him to death

and smashed up the elephant house

It broke through an iron door

and trumpeted terribly

The police came and the fire departement...

...and shot the elephant dead

The vet said it had been lonely

Will you come to Japan with me?

Yes



Japan’s beautiful

We’ll meet on Friday at the station. Okay?

Okay

What does this mean?

I’m leaving you

Why?

I like him

The killer?

He’s nice

Okay. If you think so

Let me speak with the killer

Sure

Rosa von Praunheim

Arabella building. Appartement 226

What about the money?

Yes

the key’s at the tobacconist’s

see you next time round

Ricky!

how did you find my adress?

Let me in first

I thought we were meeting at the station

Is this your appartement

Yes

Are you Rosa von Praunheim?

Yes

Ricky?

Do you really believe

I’d have come to the station?

There’s no labor union for the work I do

If someone rats on me, I’m finished

Hello, Franz

I’m leaving from the main station

There may be trouble

Can you come, please?

Let’s say in an hour, near the lockers

See you

Yeah

Mrs. von Rezzori, your son’s leaving today

From the station, in an hour

Hands up!

Drop your gun and put your hands up!

Ricky!

At the Blue House

If you need anything

Okay. I’m in the picture

(SONG)

Ballantine’s, straight

... without ice

I want to buy some porn

Over there

May I join there

handsome stranger. Sure

Need some information

I have some magazines

Don’t worry. I pay well

Five hundred

I’m looking for a gipsy

Tony el Quitano

Gypsy colony number one

Hangs out in the bar most of the time

There’s only one

Any special characteritics?

He reads people’s palms...

...is a hard drinker...

...is gay...

...keeps two gorillas

That’s enough

And what do you do?

I sing and...

And?

I’m married

To him

We’re very happy together

Bye

Ricky

Who was that?

You wouldn’t understand

You’re gypsies, aren’t you?

You can all read palms

That was long ago

Hardly anyone can today

He can. Tony, there

Yeah?

Show me

What do you see?

Very bad

What?

Come here. I’ll tell you

I live upstairs

Okay?

You don’t always have to believe in that sort of thing

What did you see?

He hasn’t long to live

I’m going

I want to be alone tonight

You can stay here

I thought you pay us to protect you

Nothing will happen tonight


Good night

Another round

Who’s there?

It’s me

Come in

Get me a woman, okay?

But something with class

What? In broad daylight?

He wants a whore

By all means. Certainly

Tirili, tirila

Shut up

Answer it!

Answer the damn thing

Hello?

Just a moment

Who is it?

Murnau

Murnau?

Just a woman?

The killer wants a woman

Okay. Get him one

Bye

Wait a minute

I’ll send you Rosa

In half an hour

What am I meant to do?

The killer wants a woman. Okay?

It’s better if you go

than if he blabs to someone else

I’m fond of you

That’s why

Get a move on

Leave that here

Come in

Get undressed

Go to the bathroom

Fortune isn’t always funny

There was a cleaning woman

in Hamburg called Emmy

She was 60 or 65 years old

One day...

on her way home,

it began to pour with rain

...so she goes into a bar


where foreign workers hang out

and she sits down and drinks a cola

suddenly a man asks her...

to dance with him

A really big guy with broad shoulders

she finds him attractive...

...and dances with him

Afterwards he sits down...

...and talks with her

He tells her he doesn’t have a place to stay

So Emmy says he can go to her place

He goes to her place

and he sleeps with her...

and a few days later...

...he suggests they get married

And so they got married

Suddenly Emmy was all young again

From behind, she looked about 30

For six months they lived madly

and were incredibly happy

Life was one round of parties

Then one day

Emmy was found dead, murdered...

...with the marks of a signet ring

on her throat

The police arrested her husband

His name was Ali, and there had

been a letter A on the ring

But he said he had

lots of friends named Ali...

...and they all had a signet ring

They interrogated every Turk

in Hamburg called Ali

A lot had returned to Turkey

and the others didn’t understand

Magdalena Fuller

And what about the money?

You’ll be given, for the third assignment...

...$25,000, as agreed

Everything goes wrong

What?

It won’t work. Something stinks about it

Pull yourself together

I can’t stand the tension

Pull yourself together

I’m not having you ruin everything

Shall we dine out together tomorrow

Wait a moment

Pierre, no! I want to serve you!

I’ll do whatever you want

I’ll kiss your feet, anything

Pierre, Ill kill myself!

No! You can’t leave me! Pierre!

I’ve given you everything!

I’m your slave, Pierre!

You swine!

You swine!

I loved you so much, Pierre

You look good

Yeah!

I’ll pick you up tomorrow

No

I’ll meet you at the Bologna

Okay

Thanks. Keep the change

Hello. Who’s that?

Mother, I’m in Germany

Yes I am. Okay

I’m on the corner. I’ll come by now

Yes of course

Come and see us

Ricky’s here

Why, Ma?

You’ve cut yourself

It’s time you grew up

You’ll stand by me, won’t you, Ma?

Nice place you have here

Your husband has moneyRickey?

Kurt

Richard

Won’t you sit down?

Did you come through the war in one piece?

I’m okay, Mother

My son

Play a game with me

Give me some money!

It’s okay

What are you doing in Germany?

Buisness, Mother

How is your father?

i haven’t seen him for ages

No?

No!

My father lives in a different world

His friends...

...you know...

...are all...

It wasn’t my scene

I must be going now

Ciao, Mother

Oh, Ma!

I still love him

Is that Bohm?

Marquard Bohm?

I want you to keep an eye on my son

His name’s Richard von Rezzori

Two related murders

And on the same day

There’s something fishy here

The Fuller woman said she wanted

to speak with me alone about the gypsy

Chief, that woman sold information

She probably thought the chief could

I’ve appointed a special commisioner

I’m taking the case out of your hands as of now

Thank you, that’s all. You can go

But I’m following a hot lead

If we have to drop the case now...

Okay between us, you can carry on

But I have a responsibility

to the public, too, you understand

Sure, chief. Thanks

There was an elephant...

...in Belgium

Everyone loved it

Especially the kids

But it became quieter and quieter

And one day, it attacked its keeper

It trampled him to death

and smashed up the elephant house

It broke through an iron door

and trumpeted terribly

The police came and the fire departement...

...and shot the elephant dead

The vet said it had been lonely

Will you come to Japan with me?

Yes



Japan’s beautiful

We’ll meet on Friday at the station. Okay?

Okay

What does this mean?

I’m leaving you

Why?

I like him

The killer?

He’s nice

Okay. If you think so

Let me speak with the killer

Sure

Rosa von Praunheim

Arabella building. Appartement 226

What about the money?

Yes

the key’s at the tobacconist’s

see you next time round

Ricky!

how did you find my adress?

Let me in first

I thought we were meeting at the station

Is this your appartement

Yes

Are you Rosa von Praunheim?

Yes

Ricky?

Do you really believe

I’d have come to the station?

There’s no labor union for the work I do

If someone rats on me, I’m finished

Hello, Franz

I’m leaving from the main station

There may be trouble

Can you come, please?

Let’s say in an hour, near the lockers

See you

Yeah

Mrs. von Rezzori, your son’s leaving today

From the station, in an hour

Hands up!

Drop your gun and put your hands up!

Ricky!
