(Reporter) Berlin.

This evening the Wall fell.

(German National Anthem) Unity and Justice

and Liberty...

(German National Anthem) Unity and Justice

and Liberty...

Mother slept through a classical concert

at the City Hall of Schneberg.

And the start of a gigantic and

unique waste collection.

And the start of a gigantic and

unique waste collection.

Open the gateway!

Stasi begone! Stasi begone!

Mother kept on sleeping. Deeply and firmly.

She missed my

first trip into the West,

and how some comrades conscientiously

protected us workers and peasants.

and how some comrades conscientiously

protected us workers and peasants.

Of course she also missed my

first cultural discoveries

in a new country.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Mothers deep sleep didn't allow her

to participate in the first free polling.

Helmut! Helmut! Helmut!

She missed how Ariane gave up her study

of economic theory...

Enjoy your meal and thank you for choosing Burger King.

... and made her first practical experience

with the circulation of money.

The sleep saved her the moving-in of Ariane's new boyfriend.

Rainer, class enemy and barbecue man.

The furniture from the bedroom

is going to the basement.

The furniture from the bedroom

is going to the basement.

She missed the increasing Westernization of

our 79-square-metre apartment...

The old rubbish with the red dot

is going to the bulk waste, okay?

The old rubbish with the red dot

is going to the bulk waste, okay?

... and Rainer's enthusiasm for the

oriental customs and way of life.

The big hormanal ecstasy

that I experienced watching

a few beautiful legs,

didn't reach into her night.

Sh*t!

What're you doing there?

- I... the infusion...

And not even the first day of Nurse Lara

exchange angel from the sovjet union,

penetrated her black dreams.

There you are again.

- Hello.

I was worried about you.

- They've put me in clink.

Mother overslept the triumph of

the capitalism. - Relief!

And the coordination of

my hospital visits.

Do you know what I noticed?

When she's in a good mood,

she's carrying her hair loosely.

When she's in a bad mood, she puts them up.

And during the doctor's round,

she chews on her fingernails.

Don't you think

she's got a beautiful smile?

Her sleep ignored,

how heroes of work became unemployed.

Her sleep ignored,

how heroes of work became unemployed.

The PGH TV workshop "Adolf Hennecke"

was winded up.

I was the last one

and I switched off the light.

Then there was the reprise. As a member of the

quick-witted East-West-Team, I applied the reunification very early.

Satellite dishes blossomed

in our landscape.
