I have to go!

- Don't you want...

- No, I have to go.

Too bad.

See you next time.

Yeah, bye!

Dad!

- Dad!

- Yes, I'm coming.

Here you are.

Brand new!

And here.

- Look at this, please.

- Don't need any, thanks.

Please, buy one.

Please, buy one.

Here, please.

- Another nice one.

- I don't need it!

I was a parachutist.

I parachuted over Crete.

Those Tommys...

They shot at us as

if we were sparrows.

They shot me in the air.

Underneath my knee,

upwards through the bone.

That crap got stuck

in there somewhere.

A f***ed-up

landing, I tell you.

I was lying there...

with my face in the sand.

And then a scorpion came

along and stung me in the eye.

- More?

- No, thanks.

Aren't you hungry?

Does he force you?

Oh yeah, harder.

That's good.

Do it harder.

Hi, Lukas.

We've been waiting for you.

This is my neighbor.

Have a seat.

Nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot about

you from this dear lady.

She told me a lot about you,

a lot of very good things.

And uh... now...

you want to buy a rifle.

What a coincidence.

That's just great.

I have several good

rifles for sale.

This really tastes good.

Eat it up.

I'm not hungry anyway.

- Can I have a knife?

- Yes, here you are.

I have an excellent rifle

for a good marksman.

Really very good.

Of course, you'll need

a telescopic lens, too.

I also have an excellent

telescopic lens from Jena.

Oh!

- Would you like some coffee?

- I really would, thank you.

And you'll need

ammunition, too.

Hollow-tip bullets.

Familiar with them?

Hollow-tip bullets splatter.

That's very good.

Even if they don't strike the

target in the heart...

or in the head,

the target is finished.

Isn't that nice?

I can really recommend

hollow-tip bullets.

Anyway, they're the only

ones I have on offer now.

CONQUER YOUR FEAR

There is an

invisible enemy,

and that enemy...

is fear.

Remember your childhood.

You're lying in bed.

It's dark.

Your jacket is

hanging on a chair.

Together, the chair and the

jacket become a monster...

which you're afraid of.

Your fear increases, and you

have to turn on the light.

What has happened?

It isn't the monster that

makes you afraid, no.

It's fear that

creates the monster!

Fear is the monster.

The monster lives inside us.

We create the

monster ourselves,

so we can also control it.

It is our fear that makes

the chair into a monster.

Fear alone doesn't exist.

Fear cannot exist without us.

We know our fear keeps

us from being happy.

But when something stands in

the way of your happiness,

then rip it out of the way.

Kill it!

Cut off the monster's head!

Do you know how

I learned German?

By reading Thomas Mann.

Do you like Thomas Mann?
