My wet one!
Well, come on.
Nicht schiessen.
Well... There we go.
I love a thunderstorm in early May.
Well?
Let's have a shot.
Eggs, milk.
Schnell, granny, schnell.
Setzen Sie bitte.
Abgemacht.
Kindersurprise.
Good boy.
Well?
Just a little bit?
Want to speak to the big uncle here?
What?
When will you build the barn?
What barn? Lt'll be a shop!
- No, a barn!
- Not a barn, a shop!
- A barn!
- It'll be a shop.
No, a barn!
No, a shop!
No, a barn!
Feed for animals - dogs,
cats, parrots. Kitekat.
- It's our yard.
- So what?
It's your yard, but it'll still be
a shop.
You've only got an elder
brother, right?
No sister, eh?
Call your sister!
- It's our yard.
- How old are you, Kitekat?
And I've got a sister!
How old?
Twelve.
No good then.
She's big.
Got a cousin a bit older?
Doesn't matter how big she is.
You liar! You all lie!
It's a barn! A barn!
You'll see, we'll build a shop,
if you don't bring an elder cousin!
You'll see, we'll build a shop,

The duck laid golden eggs.
In each egg there were two hundred
birdies.
And they didn't know who took it.
But it was kamikaze.
He went into the street and said,
"Give me back my duck."
"Hey, Kamikaze!" And gave him
a kick: "That's my duck."
"I found it first.
Give back the duck, Kamikaze.
I found it first and now it's mine.
I found it and it's mine.
Hey, Kamikaze, I'll hurt you
so bad, you'll go flying!"
This is no kind of weather.
I don't know what it is.
No weather last year,
and a year before.
Want drought, you get rain.
Want rain, you get drought.
Laborers work two hours,
and you pay for a full day.
This is unheard of!
They're going to give up work now!
Arbeiten, come on!
Schnell, man, tie the end!
Nice. Handsome.
Handsome.
I'm nice, nice.
Handsome man... Handsome man...
Nice. Handsome.
Our Father,
we vest our hopes in You
and you give sustenance
in thanks,
You open
Your gracious arms
and fulfill every animal,
primitive wish.
Lord, have mercy on us, have mercy
on us, have mercy on us.
Bless us Your servants
to eat and drink.
Let us eat our fill
and glorify Your holy name
for now and forevermore.
Amen.
Our Father
in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins, for we also
forgive everyone who's indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For your kingdom and power and
glory are eternal. Amen.
I should leave
on the evening train.
What?
I should leave
on the evening train.
I have to -

Lectures have started.
The barn's as good as finished.
The barn's as good as finished.
Thanks, Mom, I remember.
Go and may God be with you.
We'll finish the barn somehow.
He needs money.
Well, you can't go anywhere
without money.
If you need it,
you can have it now.
One can't live a day without money.
