there are times.

I always tried,

tried to make her happy.

I just don't get it.

How can she do this to me?

I don't get it.

Hey, Uwe...

I don't know.

Why didn't she say something?

Uwe, come on...

And what am I doing here in Japan?

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights

thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

and I learned how to get along

So screw you.

No.

Okay.

I'm somebody too.

I've got all my life to live...

Let's get out of here.

Ask for the check.

How much?

This can't be.

What?

Did you have five?

I had 2 whiskies.

That makes 3.

- How much?

- 600 dollars.

Our most expensive favorite bar ever.

Time for bed.

Tomorrow the monastery.

Right. Bye.

Hey, watch it.

Where was the door?

Where is it?

We're going home

We're not gonna roam

We will survive

We're going home

Where is home?

Kawasaki - Epson.

Wow...

Hey...

This can't be.

What?

Kawasaki's gone.

It's gone?

Yes, it's gone.

Epson's gone too.

What do you mean?

I don't know the way.

No, Gustav.

You're joking.

Do you see Kawasaki anywhere?

In other words, we're lost.

I have a card from the hotel.

I can't read it.

We don't have to.

The taxidriver does.

Do you have cash?

You don't?

Look...

Nada, finito. 600 dollars. Gone.

I have 5000 yen. That's something.

Oh, no. We don't know the way back.

No Kawasaki. No Epson.

No money.

I don't get it...

- I want to go to bed.

- You will.

Hi? You understand her?

Of course not.

Don't fall asleep now.

I'm not.

We didn't walk this far.

No idea.

Where's she going?

Hey...

This is getting...

- It's...

- Not right.

No, this is all wrong.

She's way off.

It can't be.

What was that card?

From the hotel.

It can't be. We're not there.

I see that.

Forget it.

Where the hell are we?

Not near the hotel.

There was no train.

Totally different.

Maybe she understood hospital.

- I didn't say hostel...

- Hospital, hotel...

What now?

What should we do?

We can't take a cab.

Not with 1000 yen.

Oh, sh*t.

Know what? I'll call Ulrike.

I still have 1000 yen.

I just have to get change.

Itsa train.

Railroad train.

Not funny.

Ulrike has the hotel brochure at home.

It's ringing.

Hi, I don't have much time.

We're on a pay phone and we're lost.

- 900...

- The name of the hotel...

Talk faster.

In the living room...

- 800...

- On the table.

Hurry.

I'm looking.

She's looking.

- Man...

- Not there?

Then look on the nighttable.

- Faster...

- Hurry.

We only have 500 yen left.

It's not there.

Gustl, for once - just let go.

Say something, fast. 200...

It's squeaking.

Do you hear me?
