Just stand up straight.

I don't like it.

I think it's too suburban.

It looks fine to me.

It's not ugly to wear something like this.

What happened with Schnappi?

We banged our heads.

What did you do when I was gone?

Just lying there?

In this tragic position.

I thought about something.

About what?

Oh, about everything.

About me.

About you?

What did you think about then?

For once, can we please talk in a normal way?

Sure. I'm sorry.

What did you think about?

I don't know what to do.

I think everything is so absurd.

- Us, or what?

- No. It's not about us. Just listen.

- Yes.

- You really don't listen.

What is so absurd to you?

Just... What I do.

How I live.

My work.

You thought about the house, or...?

I think you have to risk something in life.

You're so scared.

You have this fear to settle down.

That's probably uncompromising,

and also...

not really brave.

It's not only the work, that's the same

for everyone. You don't see that.

You can't think

about a decision for 14 days,

or how to invite two people

for a dinner.

Then you're not getting ahead.

You're so anal about everything

and nothing can change your way of thinking.

In theory you're free

and you can do what you want,

but then you have to do something.

But it's always "Shall I do this or that?

No, that."

Then you actually don't do anything at all.

That's why you spend so much time

in your office or biking,

just like others spend time with

their children.

And with Philip you demonstrate

your independence,

that he must tell you

how much he misses his freedom and family.

What you don't realize and

he likely doesn't admit

is how nice it is to come home.

In his house,

where his children sleep.

He can get out of the house anytime he wants

but maybe he choses to be with his girlfriend.

I think you can risk a lot more.

But if it doesn't work out, then leave it.

I want to live together with you.

We can try.

You can have your own room

with hay and a light bulb,

so you feel comfortable.

I'm sorry, I probably have thought

too much about everything

and I wanted to tell you this

already for a long time.

Why do you believe

you know me that well?

I wanted to talk about

something completely different.

Why don't you set the table?

But I really don't get

what you wanted to tell me.

I would like to be different for you.

What do you mean?

How do you want to be then?

Sometimes I see a woman,

walking past us,

who could be perfect for you.

Then I see you two as a couple,

and everything looks so much better.

Most of the time, these women

are completely different than me.

Then I can't help but think,

that I should be different for you
