He served a six months sentence.

Isn't that true, Rudolf? This Jo,

from that fraudulent bankruptcy,

he has been in prison for six months, no?

I don't remember.

Could well be...

But nevertheless, it should happen to you.

They should put them up against the wall,

it would be over quickly.

Up against the wall!

Because if you put them in jail

you still have to feed them.

And the way

it is in prison nowadays...

That's no longer bread and water...

...but restaurant fare, three times a day!

I'm telling you!

And they have a choice too, if there is one

who can't eat pork for religious reasons,

he gets chicken instead!

I'm telling you the truth.

And they all got cable. In their room.

Nowadays, it's like a hotel.

I read in the paper that

a prisoner costs 3 times more to the state

than a pensioner.

Who has been paying his entire life!

No mercy, I tell you.

Up against the wall! It's clean

and it's a lot cheaper.

And the money saved, they can give it

to these old people who have to live off

a retirement of 300 a month.

Don't open the door, Marina.

It surely is that woman who's

trying to get votes for that Moroccan,

you know, the coon

on the list for district's councilman.

You know him, don't you?

With the zits in his face

and a nose like that!

Have you decided

on your vote yet?

- No.

Could I introduce you to

Mohamed Abdelouafi?

Green candidate for the district council.

My husband is against the Greens.

But you maybe not? After all, we women

have the right to vote since '48.

We're against this. Thank you and goodbye!

Thank you and have a... good day.

You see that?

That was that Moroccan's girlfriend.

With the zits in his face

and a nose like that.

You've got to be a real slut to shack up

with one of these camel jockeys!

That's true for sure!

Wow, what's all this here?

Don't be nosy.

It's from a pal who works for the theater.

Is this wine?

- Yes, it's wine.

So sour and bitter... I don't like it.

It's a good wine though,

but you've got to learn to drink it.

You haven't got anything else?

Yes, but it costs money.

Maybe we can make an arrangement.

You sell coke for me

and you get some for free.

Isn't that a bit risky?

I don't want to land in prison.

How old are you now? Sixteen?

I'll be 17 in January.

The most you can get is a few months

in a closed youth facility.

You talk about it as if it were nothing.

Is it any better where you live right now?

And how would you know where I live?

I know more than you think I know.

Lydia looked a bit drawn today, didn't she?

It didn't stop her from jabbering, though.

She never keeps her trap shut.

It hasn't been an easy life for her.

With her mentally impaired son.
