- Just contact the owners and make an offer.

And this is for the bank? It's just...

I'm up to my neck with this report...

Don't worry about this report,

I mean, I'll talk to Hannes.

Just contact the people,

do a deal with them,

try to get the best possible deal,

and if they won't give in,

tighten the screws a little.

I mean, there's plenty

of funds for this.

Ok, let me have the details

and I'll get it done.

There aren't really details,

just addresses.

Here. You just contact the people.

What, doesn't Agnes like

the new car, or what?

Yes, yes.

What is it? You're so serious man.

Like a German on summer holiday...

- Get this done. Ok.

- Mm-hm...

"Mum, I forgot to comb my hair.

- You need to do that now!

We're running too late!"

- Is there me kind of argument?

- No Dad. I was just playing with my Barbies.

- Ah, I see. Listen, can I sit for a bit.

- Yeah.

- "You can't do that to your own daughter!"

- Yes I can!"

Kolla, I just need to

talk to you for a minute.

How'd you like to go on

a holiday this summer?

- I'd like that.

- Just the two of us.

- Mum won't come with us?

- No, it's not possible at the moment...

But, I've found a place,

that looks like this.

Wow!

It's a kind of adventure

island called Sardinia.

And this beach is

called Paradise Beach.

And the sea there is so

warm you can swim in it.

- And there are fish, but no sharks.

- Just as well.

You know we're getting a divorce,

that takes a toll on her!

- Don't be so stuck up your own ass!

- That's exactly why she needs her Dad!

Yes, but not some place as far away

as possible from her mother!

Mum...

Aren't you asleep my love?

Is everything alright?

Next up is Mri,

give him a round of applause.

"The wind's question:

I'm tom in two,

And fall into the murky lake.

Come half-way up,

And the soul sunk into a mill.

The trees shed tears.

The rocks bleed.

The cold bites at wounds.

But in the wind chimes.

Whether this disc of ice,

be a mirror of my hovering self.

My hands - never as empty.

Tongue never as speechless.

And still I stare. Through the ice.

And the greens are at the bottom.

Looking for you,

And hoping the ice breaks."

Thank you.

- Have you found the owners?

- Yes, a few of them.

- I just wanted to finish the report first.

- What report?

The analysis.

I wanted to got it off my desk

before diving into the other project.

Do you have this report or?

Can I see it?

There are a few things

I have to point out.

I'll have a look through it

and then pass it on to Hannes.

- It's just...

- Relax!

Find these people,

buy the properties.

Gsti, we're gonna kill you!

Siggi, did you manage

to go through the report?
