Dead in 3 Days

Help Nina...

Please help Nina...

The gentle gait of forceful strides in tiny

circle is like a dance of power 'round a center,

an unconscious

great will within.

And now and then the pupil's

curtain gently opens...

to let an image in.

It wanders through...

tense silence to the heart...

Any other talents besides

citing poems, Mr. Loidl?

Well, that was Rilke.

Really, now?

Unfortunately we're not

gathered for a poetry reading,

but for final exams.

How'd it go?

And Martin?

Well... stanzas...

and the interpretation

of Rilke's 'Panther'...

are still a mystery...

in the world of poetry.

Especially to you, right?

I'll be glad to be

rid of that freak.

And I'll be glad

to be rid of it all.

Well?

Well what?

Don't tell me you flunked.

Ringer needs at least

one of us to pounce on.

And before we come to an end,

dear students, let me make

a rather daring comparison.

Life is...

...an endless hurdle.

As soon as we

take one hurdle...

...the next one comes along.

You took one of the most

important hurdles of life today.

Graduation.

But graduation

isn'tjust any hurdle.

It's also... ... the

key to the working world.

Always the same shit.

I'm proud and happy...

to say that all of you

without exception...

passed the final exams.

Shit.

There was something

on the road.

Let's call a vet.

Are you nuts? I mightjust as

well hand in my drivers' license.

We can'tjust leave it here.

It'll die, anyway.

Someone'll have

to finish it off!

Don't look at me!

You drove!

So what!

I can't do it.

But it's suffering!

Then you do it!

Me? It's your fault!

Sure. And how am I

supposed to do it?

Drive over it.

What? I don't care

what you do, just do it.

Shit! I can't.

I'll call a vet.

Let's go!

I had to do it, Nina!

The poor thing was suffering.

I'm really sorry, hey.

Forgive me?

I'll pick you

up tonight, O. K?

Sushi.

Mama!

How was it? Tell us.

Passed! With flying colors.

How long did it

take this time?

But they pulled themselves

together the minute you came.

Dad?

- Yes?

Can I have the car tonight?

Sure, but no alcohol.

I don't drink and

drive. You know me.

That's the problem.

Get the cash and keep it.

Thanks.

Bye!

We don't close till seven.

And the order lists need

doing. They're overdue.

Hi!

A little more oxygen...

If you say so.

Is Alex here?

I think she's upstairs.

Right.

And stick something on

here, or someone'll get cut.

Hello?

Are you nuts? Trying to

give me a heart attack?

What are you

looking for in there?

You.

But then you're

on the wrong floor.

And what if your dad comes up?

Then I'll tell him

you're the new guest...

and booked "all inclusive".

Thanks, Mom!

Hey, f*ckhead. Watch it!

You got a problem?

Forget it. Sorry...

Here!

Thanks!

How about me?

You've had enough. Or do you want to

barf all over your dad's car again?

Then I'll just have

to get my own, Mommy.

Did he fall into the toilet?

What?

Did he fall into the toilet?

Why don't you go and see.

Wrong door.

Thanks.

Did you see Martin Loidl?

No.

I don't believe it.

Martin?

Martin?

What's going on?

Martin's disappeared.

He'll show up. Don't

be so hysterical.

I found his cell

phone in the bathroom.

Probably fell

out of his jeans.

Look, I got that, too.

Shit! Me, too.

What?

What's wrong?

- Martin's disappeared...

I got the same today.

Me, too. Why

didn't you tell me?

I was going to!

Let's go to the police.

Someone's pulling a dumb joke.

He wouldn'tjust

disappear like that.

Maybe he's drunk

and sleeping it off.

He's not like you.

What?

Nothing.

Please, you go check inside, and Mona and
