When you dream of driving...

...do you drive a silver or a grey car?

- I don't know.

- You don't dream of driving?

- I'll take the grey.

- Wait!

Lets play it out.

The winner gets the silver one.

The winner will choose.

No he will get the silver one.

Rock, scissors, paper.

And what else?

- Water?

- Fire.

Water.

Rock, scissors, paper!

- Fire!

- Doesn't burn the scissors.

No but it can bend it.

What are you doing there?

Get a move one!

- Will I drive it then?

- F*** off!

I've got the speeding record.

You were first, but

I got the speeding record.

Very funny!

But it's you who came second.

Let's see how fast can you go.

Twenty...

Thirty!

Thirty! Faster!

You can do it!

That's how fast you can go!

Thirty one... Not bad...

Twenty.

Try harder, Hans.

Thirty one!

Thirty three!

Thirty five!

Thirty five!

I won.

Now I have to make a wish.

What time is it?

- Nine.

- Nine is great.

What are you doing?

I dropped something.

- On the car floor.

- Yes.

And why are you naked?

Because...

Stelle arrived from London.

Wanna get a coffee?

Can I have your clothes

since you're wearing mine?

No problem.

See you in a while.

Could I try your uniform

some time as well?

Certainly.

Try this.

My invention.

- A new one?

- Brand new!

You invented this?

What do you think?

- It's great.

- A dream.

I'm an inventor.

What are you?

I can read minds.

I can read anybody's mind.

What is this man thinking

He's Boris Lepowski.

During the flight

he was certain...

...that the flight attendant

as his high school crush.

For 12 hours he was contemplating

talking to her.

But he didn't.

Now the Bunny bear

is having a coffee.

That's the nickname

his wife gave him.

- What's hers?

- Bernt.

Right.

Lets not talk for a while.

Listen...

Close your eyes...

Keep them closed...

I've lost touch...

...with the world...

And I've lost...

...so much time...

he haven't heard from me

in such a long time...

He might even thinks...

...that I am dead...

How's the company?

What's your impression of it?

Is it worth it?

- I think I lost my report.

- Excuse me?

I have nothing to show you.

I don't understand.

Your previous work has been excellent.

Accurate...

...simple and to the point.

No one of your colleagues

could do it like you did.

You think I don't know that?

But when you have to present it

you fail.

It's like you're not even present!

Your work is perfect

but you're like a visitor here.

Making you work as a driver

was a challenge.

I insulted you in order to wake up,

to defend yourself, to react.

But once again,

nothing happened.

Move!

Wake up!

Or tell me what you want.

If I don't hear from you,
