Berlin Is in Germany Page #2

---

My wife's with another

guy ... - You knew that!

Yes, I knew, but it's still strange

seeing her with someone else.

And your son?

At least I've seen him

for the first time.

And you?

Porn?

I'm ... I'm in retirement, Martin.

I see nothing, I hear nothing!

Do you want to go in?

For you it's free.

Live show!

Have you been here before?

Or ... is it your first time?

Do you like it?

Shall I ...

... tell you my prices?

One ... two ... three.

Can you speak Russian?

I understand ... a little.

Where did you learn? Are you from ...

... East Germany?

My mother ... was ...

a Russian teacher ...

in an East German school.

I'm not stupid, little soldier.

Good morning, Mr. Schulz. Oh, sorry, did we wake you?

- Yes

We're from the Berlin News.

We chose your address at random,

and would like to do a short interview.

May we come in?

Thank you.

Do you like it? - Nice.

A bit big, maybe.

Here's information on

opening a savings account,

this is to help you

find an apartment,

here are job center addresses, something

on health and pension schemes,

and here's your new tax card.

An application for social welfare.

A job training program

is also possible.

And I've also prepared an

application for supervised lodgings.

I'd rather stay in the hotel,

and find work myself.

That's alright.

But you'll have to come here

regularly so we can monitor progress.

I recommend our workshops.

I take the art therapy, and

would love to see you there.

Take a look at the

pictures on the wall.

Now you can see when it's our turn.

We've 345, and it's showing 325.

So there are 20 people to go.

Do I need my passport? - Of course.

Here's the Berlin News' card. They asked

where I was when the Wall came down.

Here, look.

They should've asked me.

Do you know where I was?

No. - Didn't I write? - No.

I was sitting in a tank. The T72.

Not an animal, not a man,

but an armored infantryman.

That was October '89, with

the demos on the Alexanderplatz.

We all knew what was up.

We had to give blood.

They asked for our blood groups.

We gave blood and got in

the tanks. The square was full.

I wouldn't have known what

to do if we'd mobilized.

You couldn't talk, the

Stasi were always there.

They'd have let us fire,

like in China. And me in a T72!

Profession? - Engine fitter.

Where did you train? - Karl

Liebknecht transformer works.

What was your last

place of employment?

Where was your

last place of employment?

In Brandenburg. -With What firm?

In the metalworking shop

of the Brandenburg Penitentiary.

Floorer, interior designer.

You can't call me at home,

because I'm in a telephone box.

But you can call me here.
