- Yeah.

Oh well.

Just super.

I absolve you of your sins

in the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, the power,

and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Miss Glaser, can I go now, please?

It's my grandfather's funeral today.

and I...

My mother forgot

to write me an excuse.

And if I call your house,

there won't be anyone at home, right?

That's right.

My parents have left for the cemetery.

And I should be going too.

- You will bring a note tomorrow.

- Yes.

I feel terribly sick.

Can I go to the headmaster's office?

Young lady, I've had enough.

Take a seat.

After the bell we'll both go

and see the headmaster.

Okay, now let's go on.

Which of you wants to read?

It was in the year 2157...

Only a heavy wooden club

or a thick iron bar,

a chair, or some kind of heavy,

blunt instrument

in the hands of a very powerful man

could have caused

such major injuries.

No woman could ever have inflicted

such injuries with any weapon.

The head of the deceased,

according to the witness's description,

had been separated

from the trunk of the body and...

was also completely shattered.

Get out!

Want some?

Your brother looks sick.

I think you should take him

to the doctor.

Hang on a second.

What's wrong?

I need something to drink.

I'll get you one.

Good evening, tickets please.

Are you travelling alone?

Our parents are picking us up.

Oxygen mask.

Thanks.

Will you be home tomorrow afternoon?

I just can't believe it.

She's driving me mad!

It can't be so hard to go to the toilet

and put the lid down.

What are you waiting for?

Go on!

Put the lid down!

Put the bloody lid down.

Wonderful!

Pneumococci transmit diseases.

They are encapsulated.

They multiply rapidly

and their offspring also have capsules.

Sometimes it may happen

that one of them has no capsule.

Its own offspring will lack capsules.

A certain agent can be obtained

from dead pneumococci with capsules.

It is known as DNA.

Many happy returns!

- Thanks.

- From me too.

How thoughtful.

That's very sweet of you.

My dear Norbert,

look what I have for you.

Thank you so much.

That's very nice of you.

Many happy returns.

- Gertrud, thank you so much.

- My pleasure.

To your health!

Long shall his life be,

long shall his life be,

three times as long.

Let's make him fatter,

fatter and fatter,
