who...

Gotcha!

You're a stupid one!

Oh boy.

There. It's hooked up.

See, it works.

To Daddy's little helper.

Cheers.

Cheers.

It could have gone on a little sooner.

There you've got it.

Are you two crazy?

I'm sorry.

What do you mean you're sorry?

Give me a kiss and tell your mother

to come upstairs.

Possibly, but if you're easy with me,

I'm easy with you.

After all, you know that we are

respectable citizens and not criminals.

Sometimes there isn't as much

difference as you think.

Often, if it was left to me,

I wouldn't know where to draw the line.

Fortunately it isn't left to you,

is it?

No, it isn't.

But some things are left to me.

You knew it was me all the time,

didn't you?

Continue.

- But what did Sheila do?

- I went to the manager at Milwards.

And I told him to get rid of her or

we would not come to the shop again.

And why did you do that?

Because I was in a furious temper.

I would say, save a bit

and then buy it.

Like it was with the sofa.

The sofa's a good example.

I can't buy a sofa

if I don't have the money.

Martina would rather pay

first and save later.

Just like her mother.

I'm the type of guy who saves first.

Then when I have the money,

that's when I buy the sofa.

Because that's when I can afford it.

I might find an even better sofa later.

- A bit of snowboarding...

- A little exercise...

- Drink a hot toddy...

- Pouting?

Don't you want any cake?

Leave me alone.

What's the matter?

Being difficult again?

And now for the great big surprise.

A snow...

flake...

joy does... make...

and...

whirls around...

- Can't you be quiet!

- Oh, stop it.

Go on then, carry on.

Jesus Christ,

see what you made her do?

Poor darling.

You still owe me 400 schillings.

- Get home safely.

- Yeah, especially in this weather.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Goodbye, Siggi.

Dear God, please help the animals

that are being abused in experiments.

We beseech thee,

hear us, O Lord!

Heavenly Father,

In our class there are some girls

who think only of themselves

and their own benefit.

Please, God, have mercy

and show them your divine love

so they may be healed.

We beseech thee,

hear us, O Lord!

Want some?

She's talking to herself.

She says something like... "I...

I wanted to marry him", I think.

And the nurse hears it...

And falls in love with the brother.

What do they do then?

Well, uh...

They... err... go out or something.

And in the end,

she marries his brother.

- Sounds complicated.

- Not really.

- I just didn't tell it so well.

- That's okay.

Lovely Rita!

"... and everybody is running

in the same direction.

- God, what happened?

- I don't know. I just came. "

- Was that the joke?
