Is it working?

But be nice to your mother.

There's mommy. Go brush your

teeth and go to bed.

You too, Karin.

Are you still awake? Go on.

It's half past 9.

That late already?

If it was up to you, they'd stay up

all night.

Did you talk to his teacher?

-Yes, he's doing much better.

See? He's not as stupid as

you think.

What about the lift this

morning?

Nothing special. Just a

short circuit.

People almost suffocated.

They came out of the restaurant.

Maybe it was the food.

Much ado about nothing.

I checked everything. The customer

has to be satisfied.

Yes, they have to be happy.

Don't throw it out.

What?

-The cap.

I'm collecting them.

What for?

When you have a 100...

you can win a trip to Hawaii.

Why do you want to go to Hawaii?

We went to the coast last year.

You're not very romantic anymore.

Yes, I am. I like to be...

at the riverside...

in the moonlight, in the arms of...

Just put it in the box.

Where?

-Next to the coffee.

Could you describe the view?

The view?

For my mother. The view from the

apartment.

It's fantastic, I can assure you.

On one hand endless forests...

and on the other hand the blue

water of the Mediterranean.

But we've been through that.

You'll have to decide. It's one of our

very last apartments.

Of course. But it's a lot of money

to spend.

You nor your mother will regret it.

It's a surprise for my mother.

She hardly leaves the house, because

of her wheelchair.

Shall we finalise that surprise?

Here's the contract.

Do you want to use my pen?

No, I've got my own.

Please put a signature here.

Thank you. And one here.

Another signature?

Yes, for our administration.

You'll enjoy this for the rest of

your life.

Do you know where the lift is?

Yes, don't worry about me.

Give my regards to your mother.

-Thanks, I will.

You forgot your pen.

How silly. It's a dear souvenir.

I wouldn't want anything to happen

to it.

Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

Did you say something?

-No, I didn't.

I thought you said something.

It's 3 am. Two more hours

to go.

Would you like a drink?

What?

I hope you can keep a secret.

My best friend in the early

morning.

I don't drink.

They could have warned me

about that.

In that case, I'll drink alone.

What do you do in your free time?

Women?

I'm engaged.

-Really?

We're getting married next month.

Don't you have other things to do?

When I was a sailor, I had a girl

in each port.

I was very busy back then.

I've been immune to penicillin ever

since.

What's wrong?

-I thought I heard a sound.

You're just nervous.

I would be too.

You're getting married next month.

No, I heard a sound.

It's rats.

They once found a lift full
