I
B: Come on in. As long as you aren’t a bailiff.
T: Far from it, I’ve got something for you. Good luck for your examination.
B: Thank you. Coffee?
T: Yes.
B: I’m currently trying to study, but I can barely concentrate.
T: Just forget about your father and the debts now, hm? The only important thing today is the exam.
B: I’m curious.
T: Actually, I wanted to give you a wall calendar about fire trucks in 19th Century, but then I kept it myself.
B: I expected at least a real fire truck.
T: It’s damn hard to wrap them.
B: Aaw. Do I have to give it back if I fail the exam?
T: What’s the debris zone?
B: The area which is endangered when a building is collapsing.
T: Which flame zone is the hottest one?
B: The firing zone.
T: Who is the biggest nerd and is going to pass the test by a chance of 100%?
B: No idea. You see, I failed.
T: The only reason why you could fail is being too late.
B: Oh, crap!
T: Call me when you passed the exam.
B: Thank you for the encouragement.
Crap.

II
C: Annabelle! Do you have two minutes? Come on. Sit down.
Would you like to have something?
A: A new father would be nice.
C: I recently treated you unfairly, I’m sorry for that. I know you’re making an effort to get Tobias Ehrlinger to play again.
My lawyer.
A: Just answer it. At least the two minutes will be over soon.
C: I’ll call you back, okay? Thank you.
A: Is it because of your trial?
C: Well, it’s starting the day after tomorrow.
A: It’s going to be alright. You will just buy your way out of it somehow in case of emergency.
C: If only that would be the only thing to care about.
A: You’re still thinking that Xenia wants you to be murdered?
Ok then, you apologized to me. No hard feelings.
C: Thank you.
A: I considered a bit.. because of Tobias.
C: Okay, I want to hear it.
A: I think I know now how to allure him back to the gambling table.
But we have to argue for that again.

III
C: And?
A: I was over there near the lantern. I smashed the light bulb and complained that I tripped there yesterday when it was dark. Because of the damaged lamp.
C: He’s already coming. Well done, let’s go.
A: Why are you doing this to Boris?
C: I’m not planning to feed him until his pension.
A: Oh come on, like it’s about the money.
C: It is.
A: Seriously?
C: Even if he turned out badly, he’s still my son unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that he can keep my money.
A: He wanted to pay it back to you someday.
C: My patience is finished.
A: You just want to destroy his life.
C: Think what you like.
A: The deadline of 30 days was already mean, but if you’re doing this right now, I don’t want to deal with you anymore.
C: That would be just the way it is then.
IV
T: Can I talk to you for a moment?
I accidentally noticed your fight.
A: And?
T: What was it about?
A: You obviously know it because you were listening. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here now.
T: About Boris?
You.. you said to your father that if he’s doing this right now.. What did you mean with this?
A: Tobias, I’m sorry, I have to keep out of it.
T: But I can’t keep out of it when it’s about Boris. If his father presses him even more.. He’s already doing badly.
A: Dad has set a dubious debt collection agency on him. With men you shouldn’t mess with like he proudly said.
T: But.. But he set him a time limit of 30 days so that he can pay back the 100.000€.
A: He just wants to bring down Boris. Because of you.
T: Yes, but.. We can’t just stand there and watch.
A: I can’t do anything on my own. But.. I’m going to play with my friends again later. I mean, I might win a couple grand on my own if it works out fine, but I won’t reach the amount that Boris needs.
We could play together. The both tomfools are never going to notice that. They won’t be hurt if they are losing a bit of their fortune, they’re filthy rich. But it could be the rescue for Boris.
T: No.
A: It’s your decision. Or aren’t you able to play poker?
T: I can play, quite good actually.
A: I don’t get it then.. Don’t you want to rescue Boris from our father?
T: Alright, I’m in. But only this time.

V
A: I announced you over the phone. Nervous?
Our agreements are clear, aren’t they?
We just mustn’t exaggerate, we’re going to lose the second and fifth game, alright?
T: I know.
A: Hi.
O: Hi.
Ab: Hi.
A: Oleg, Abraham. This is Tobias, you already know each other. I stand surety for him.
Alright, I would say like the last time, okay? Texas Hold’em, No Limit?
O: Okay.
A: Fine. Let’s start.
…
What’s that?
T: A mission. The fire department.
A: You want to leave right now?
T: I have to.
A: It surely isn’t the end of the world.
T: You can never know.
A: You’re having colleagues, right?
T: Yes, and you can’t leave them high and dry.
A: But it’s Boris you’re leaving high and dry?
Tobias!

VI
B: It’s a great day today. First, I passed the exam and after that a mission full of action.
So I could at least forget my problems for once.
T: Thank god the driver wasn’t hurt.
B: That’s right. Listen, what would you say about celebrating my passed exam this evening? At dinner in the flat share.
T: Okay.
B: Don’t be this euphoric.
Alright, what’s up?
T: I.. I noticed something earlier by chance. Something you probably won’t be pleased about.

VII
B: My father plans to bring debt collectors on to chivvy on me?
T: A debt collection agency. But if they’re reliable, they first have to send a demand for payment.
B: My father and reliable.. Forget it. Now he’s fully cracking up.
T: Stay calm.
B: And how? I thought he finally got it after all the mess with Alicia and Viktor.
T: Obviously not.
B: I can’t stand it anymore.
T: What’s your plan now?
B: I want to speak out to him at least.
T: Let it rest!
B: And what will be next? Will he threaten me to cut off my finger every day I won’t pay him 10.000€?
T: You shouldn’t provoke him.
B: But I should go on being terrorized?
T: He’s mad because we’re happy and he’s alone. And like all embittered people he wants to drag us down with him. It’s not about the money.
B: Yes, I’m aware of that. But I got bullied all my life and now it’s enough.

VIII
C: You failed again at making Ehrlinger to play?
A: I tried to hold him back. I appealed to his conscience towards Boris, but he doesn’t seem to be important enough for him. It’ll work the next time.
C: Yes, it sure will. Because I’m taking care of it now.
A: It just takes time to manipulate someone.
C: Sometimes you have to act in a fast and aggressive way.
A: That was predictable. I made everything wrong again.
C: Well, not everything.
Tell me, is there a fire around here? If not, don’t run through my hotel dressed like this and scaring the guests.
B: Go out.
A: Are you nuts? At least say please.
B: Please go out. I want to talk to our father.
A: No, it’s getting exciting now.
C: Annabelle..
A: I also belong to the family.
C: What do you want from me?

IX
C: It’s not illegal to order a debt collection agency.
B: So now you’re letting me get beaten up to get your money?
C: You look alright so far. If you want to have an extension of time, I would be in.
B: And on what terms that would be?
C: You just have to end your disgusting relationship with your boyfriend.
B: Tobias was right. You’re only doing this because you can’t accept the fact that we’re happy and you’re not.
C: Ouch. Now you caught me.
B: Tell me, are you consumed by hate like this because of the failure of your marriage with Alicia?
Don’t you realize how pathetic you’re acting?
C: Get out.
B: In the past.. I once admired you.

X
R: The truck was really loaded with 2.000 boxes of empties?
T: It was all spread on the road.
R: Luckily no one got hurt. Shards bring good fortune. (A german phrase which is hard to translate)
T: It was a big mess to remove everything. But the emergency call came in just in time.
R: Why? Tobias, why?
T: Annabelle.. Annabelle convinced me to play poker with her friends in the “Fürstensuite”.
It just was too tempting. I was up to make a fast buck to help Boris.
R: Ehm.. there are illegal poker games at the “Fürstenhof”?
What’s up these days? Everyone is gambling.
T: Not me.
R: Yes, but close to it.
And yet you have told me about your buddy who was addicted to gambling.
What’s wrong, Tobias?
Ehm.. Did you talk about yourself?
I didn’t know about it. Do your parents know? Does someone know about it?
T: I was too embarrassed to talk about it.
R: Do you want to tell Boris?
T: Yes, sure, but.. when he has less problems.
R: But it was really like you were telling me? You pulled the plug after you started stealing from your parents?
T: From this perspective, the sharps really brought me fortune today.
R: Are you afraid of relapsing?
T: When I earlier sat on the table and the cards were lying in front of me.. The feeling was there immediately. That prickling, like back then. It was so damn hard to get away from it. I was like a different person at that time, I never want to drop this deep again.

XI
T: Have I told you it’s useless or have I told you it?
B: Maybe it made sense after all.
T: Yes, certainly. Now you banged your fist on the table, your father will sure release you from the debts.
Seriously, he’s now going to eye us more than ever. We have to be prepared for everything.
Hey, no matter what happens.. we’ve got us, hm?
C: This is a public room for guests.
I have to talk to you for a moment.
B: Have a nice time.
T: So, do you want to kick me out again?
C: No, I’m expecting you in the “Fürstensuite” in ten minutes.
T: Is something broken there?
C: You’ll find out then.

XII
X: Who is it?
B: It’s me.
X: One moment.
Hey.
B: Hey. I’m sorry for the late disturbance.
X: I didn’t sleep yet. How could I with this pain in the back.
B: It still isn’t better? Have you seen the doctor?
X: Michael gave me an injection, it’s going to be fine.
But you’re not good-looking either.
B: I actually wanted to tell you yesterday.. or rather ask.
X: What’s up?
B: Christoph.
X: What did the scumbag again this time?
I’m sorry, I’m a bit stressed.
B: I shall pay back my debts to him. At least 100.000€. At first, I had four weeks to do it, but he now ordered a debt collection agency.
X: He’s rushing some hitters on you?
B: He’s threatening me with it subliminally.
X: He has changed.. as if!
I’ll directly call my bank tomorrow.
B: Thank you.
X: Everything is going to be fine.

XIII
C: It’s nice you came.
T: Forget about it.
C: You think so?
T: I won’t play.
C: But you used to, am I right?
We’re just playing one round. If you lose, you’re going to break up with Boris and leave this place. Forever.
T: Why should I get into this bullshit?
C: Because I also have a very interesting input of course. If you win, I’m going to release Boris from all of his debts and he’s finally free.
So, that’s worth a game, isn’t it?

[lindor]

3027
I
C: You can relieve Boris of all his debts by one match.
T: Or I’ll lose him forever if you win.
C: When you love someone, you just want the best for him.
And my debt collectors aren’t quite prissy.
T: Why are you doing this to him? He’s your son.
C: I want to protect Boris from you and your perverted moral conduct.
May the best man win. Should this one be you, I don’t care if the two of you will ride together into the sunset.
T: How do I know that you’re going to keep your word?
C: Gambling debts are debts of honor. I’m fair in this matter.
So Mr. Ehrlinger, I don’t have all day.
Well, it seems like my son isn’t that important to you after all. Just a meaningless affair, I’m directly relieved.
T: I’m in. But don’t you dare to break the agreements.
C: There you go.

II
Tobias and Christoph playing. No words used

III
Ti: Cut it up small, please.
When does Tobi arrive?
B: In 10 minutes.
Ti: You’ll have to hurry up then. Especially smaller. You really could make an effort for your romantic date, Mr. firefighter.
B: You can notice that your job is missing you. Or maybe a man you can push around.
Ti: I recently dreamt that I’m marrying again.
B: And? Was he good-looking?
Ti: I can’t tell. All I remember is that I was walking down the stairs in the “Fürstenhof” and that I was wearing a wedding gown.
B: Was the gown at least good-looking?
Ti: It was dreamlike. But everything was an actual dream.
B: Seems like you’re very concerned about it.
Ti: Actually, I thought I’m doing fine. That I’m happy. Just with Tom and the job. And technically I am. A new man means new drama. And if I ever want to change it, you have the permission to hold me back.
B: Absolutely not.
- Tobias and Christoph playing –
Ti: Yummy, that’s how a sauce has to taste like.
B: Only Tobias is still missing.
T: Hey.
B: Hi, dinner’s ready.
T: I still have to handle a few things.
B: Meaning?
T: I’m going to be pretty late I guess. Don’t be mad.
B: Hold on a second, what did my father want from you?
T: Just chit-chat.
B: Because of the debt collection agency?
T: Nah. Listen, I have to keep on going. Tell Tina I said hi.
B: Okay.
Regards from Tobias. He’s still busy. Are you already hungry?
Ti: Yes! Now I’m not disturbing your romantic dinner anymore.
What’s the status of your father’s money?
B: My mother will lend me it.
What’s that?
Ti: A surprise. For your passed exam. It’s a great feeling having a firefighter in the house.
B: Two.
Ti: Right.
B: Aaw. Thank you.
I would have never gone there if it wasn’t for Tobias.
Ti: There would be a lot different without Tobias.
B: Yes.
Ti: He’s just the right one.
B: I even can’t imagine my life without him anymore.
Does it sound declamatory?
Ti: No. It just sounds like you’ve found the love of your life.

C: All in.
T: Yes!
C: Chapeau. You can earn more money with this than a company technician does in a whole year.
T: No, thanks.
C: I know you’re a gambler.
T: Only now and then.
C: Boris is going to be very proud of you when he finds out that you relieved him from all his debts.
T: You won’t tell him a word. I don’t want him to find out about this.
C: I see. It could bring up some questions.
See you next time.
T: There won’t be a next time.
C: We’ll see.

IV
B: Max Fohrer cancelled the whole meeting today.
They still want me to accommodate them with the cancellation fee.
C: Do you know what this is?
B: My loan contract.
C: It was the original. I don’t have any copies.
B: Does it mean.. you’re releasing me from all my debts?
Why?
Yesterday you rushed a debt collector on me because of 100.000€ and you’re releasing me from all of it today?
C: Right, ehm. 40 – 20.
B: What?
C: Max Fohrer. You’re going to charge 40% of the rooms and 20% of the catering.
B: Okay. And what about my debts? I don’t get it.
C: Ask your boyfriend. We had a very interesting encounter yesterday evening.

V
B: So what exactly has been going on between you and my father yesterday evening?
He ripped my loan contract, I’m completely free from debt.
T: Seriously?
B: What exactly have you done for this to happen?
T: Just talking. I mean discussing. I really spoke my mind to him.
B: So no chit-chat like you said over the phone?
T: Well, he was really angry at first, you know him. But then he listened to me and it seemed to convince him. I’m also shook right now.
B: You’re hiding something from me.
T: Why?
B: Because I know my father and I know you.
So what happened yesterday evening?

VI
T: And then I told him the story.
B: What story do you mean?
T: I had a buddy once. He also was highly indebted and he was so desperate that he tried to kill himself.
B: You never said anything about this.
T: We were able to save him, but he’s in a wheelchair ever since.
B: That’s tragic. But my father knows me and the fact that I wouldn’t do something like this.
T: There are often people who don’t know what to do when they’re fully desperate.
B: So you told my father this mawkish story?
T: Yes, that’s exactly what happened.
B: And that transformed him into a good soul or something?
T: What do I know! What’s your problem anyway? I mean, I wanted to help you and now it’s done. Is it that fatal to being gifted with 500.000€?
B: I’m sorry, but I just can’t believe it.
T: Do you know what I believe? He’s just having a bad conscience. Because he didn’t accept you the way you are. And.. and now he’s trying to make it up to you.
Hey, everything is going to be fine again. Come to me.

VII
A: You released him from half the million?
Now Boris is going to kiss his feet. And they’re much closer than ever. So the plan backfired.
C: I’m only..
A: A french breakfast, please.
C: One water for me.
W: Coming right away.
C: First of all, he has to explain to Boris how he managed it that I released him from the debts.
A: I see. Good Tobias has to lie, Boris will become skeptical..
C: And in the end, Boris will recognize that the love of his life is addicted to gambling.
A: Assumed that it wasn’t the last game for him.
C: He’s hooked, I saw it in his face.
Like with my father back then. The same look.
A: That’s indeed evil. But brilliant.
C: Your idea about the supposed debt collector wasn’t that bad either.
A: Wait!
C: It’s fine.
A: Thank you.
To gambling!
C: If Ehrlinger is asking you to lend money, so that he can play again..
A: He’ll get it. How much he wants.
C: Looks like we’re a good team.
A: To us.

VIII
X: One moment.
Hey.
B: Am I disturbing?
X: I’m just developing a new product line and thinking about the marketing.
What’s on your mind?
B: It’s about the money I asked you for. I don’t need it anymore.
X: Why is that?
B: Dad released me from my debts. Not only the 100.000€, everything.
X: Why all of sudden?
B: I’m also wondering.

IX
X: As if! Not a single mawkish story would determine your father to forget about half a million euros.
B: Tobias said he has a bad conscience because of the outing and everything.
X: That might be and you’re his son, but giving away his biggest form of pressure?
Your father did what he’s the best at: Manipulating people and one hand washes the other.
B: You think they’re having a deal?
That would mean that Tobias has to do something for him. But what? Leaving me?
FLASHBACK
X: It wasn’t me, Christoph. Don’t be pathetic.
C: Do you still remember the time you were cheating on me? Something came to my mind.
I’ve got so many more ideas. You won’t have one quiet minute anymore, I guarantee.
You’re going to pay for it.
FLASHBACK OVER
X: It’s about me.
B: About you?
X: Tobias has to murder me.
B: Tobias being a killer? That’s complete nonsense.
X: Boris, how well do you really know your boyfriend?
It’s a fact they’re having a deal which is worth 500.000€ to your father.

[lindor]

3028
I
B: Mum, I understand that you’re scared of dad. But..
X: You know that he lied in wait for me the other day. He threatened me. The contaminated cream was just the beginning.
B: If he even is behind this.
X: He is, believe me!
B: Anyway, it’s a different story to order a murder.
X: Did you forget what he has done to Viktor and Alicia? And that he’s soon on trial because of blackmail and abduction?
B: Exactly! He wouldn’t be that stupid to make his situation worse.
X: I wouldn’t put it past him.
B: Alright, I’ll keep an eye on him.
And I’m assuring that you don’t have to be afraid at all of Tobias. He would never kill anyone.
X: What if Christoph is pressuring him?
B: You know Tobias. He’s helping old ladies to cross the road and is saving kitties out of trees.
Does someone like this seem to be a cold-blooded murderer?
X: You might be right. I think it was a bit absurd.
B: Don’t make yourself mad, mum.

II
C: The main thing is that I won’t be send to jail. I rely on you. We’ll see us tomorrow in court, bye.
A: Dad.. do you have a minute?
C: Yes, sure. Before I forget it, your boxes from L.A. arrived and I sent them upstairs.
A: Great. I wanted to seduce Tobias to play again later, is the “Fürstensuite” free?
C: We can’t always let some poker rounds take place here.
A: Yes, right. It might make him skeptical.
C: Disregarding the fact that we’ll get into trouble when it all should be uncovered.
A: Mh, okay. I’ll give it a thought.. later.

III
T: So, the electricity in the laundry room works again.
F: I’ll tell the chef.
T: Thank you, Franz. Have a nice evening.
A: Damn.
T: What’s up?
A: I just totally gambled away here. Online poker.
T: Too high inputs?
A: That as well.
T: Yes, sometimes there are real pros playing, you have to watch out.
A: It nearly sounds like you’re afraid. Is this the reason you’re not playing anymore?
T: What if that would be right?
A: You don’t have to, just remember how you ripped off my father.
T: Great, everybody will know soon.
A: He only told me.
T: And now it’s your task to encourage me to keep playing, or what’s the deal?
A: Why are you thinking this?
T: I’m not a fool. The whole games you were organizing, hm? Just to pull me in it again.
A: That’s nonsense.
T: And why does everyone want to play poker with me here?
A: You’ve just got the skills.
T: Forget it. The round with your father was the last one.
A: Tobias, you aren’t afraid of losing control, are you?
T: Rubbish.
A: Let’s be serious. You could earn a lot of money. You even could buy your own fire department if it makes you happy.
T: No, thanks.
A: If the seed money is a problem, I could arrange you something. Just a tiny credit. With interests of course. So.. think about it.

IV
R: I kept thinking about it the whole night. And although Paul is against it, I just have to try it.
Even as a child I was dreaming about such a mobile ice cream parlor and sometimes you have to risk something for your dreams, right?
B: And where do you get your ice cream from?
R: From Gaitano. He made me a good offer.
B: And what about your permission for the itinerant trade?
R: I already took care of it this morning.
B: Well then, it can start.
R: Yes, from today.
B: Hi, good morning.
T: Morning.
B: Are you in a bad mood?
T: I didn’t sleep well.
B: You? Normally you sleep like a log.
T: Well, sometimes I don’t.
R: Coffee?
T: Yes.
B: I have to go.
T: Already?
B: Appointments. Besides, you have to wake up properly first. See you.
R: So. Tell me what really happened.
T: Nothing.
R: Tobias. You played poker.
T: No. But I nearly did.

V
R: Why would Annabelle want to seduce you to gamble?
T: It sure is the plan of Christoph Saalfeld. Somehow he must have found out that I was addicted in the past and now he ordered Annabelle to pull me into the scene again. To create trouble between Boris and me and that we’re going to separate.
R: Tobias, please keep your hands out of it. Remember what you told me. And how bad you felt because you stole. Please don’t get involved with it again.
T: I’m aware of it all, I just got this.. This prickling, because I know that I’m damn good.
R: Hey. Please request for help, okay? Please.
T: Don’t worry about it, I just got it under control.
R: But do you control yourself?
T: A few sleepless nights and.. everything’s going to be fine again.

VI
T: Hey, you here?
B: To control my staff.
T: I’m just doing some orders.
B: I can’t stop thinking about my father’s debt cancellation.
T: Are you starting once again?
B: Excuse me, but only by telling the story of your buddy who wanted to take his life because of his debts, my father suddenly says: “Oh, we won’t take the risk, no hard feelings. Boris doesn’t have to pay me back.”
T: But that’s how it went.
B: That doesn’t sound like my father. He sure is planning something.
Think again, Tobias. Did you notice something, did something weird happen?
T: The only weird thing is you.
B: I just don’t want to feel obliged to be grateful.
I’ll pay him back anyway.
T: That’s bullshit. Gosh, you’re finally free from debt. Can’t you just be glad about it?
B: I am. But..
T: As for me, we can go.
B: Huh?
T: We wanted to go to the hayloft party.
B: Oh, crap. I totally forgot. I still have to meet up with our tax accountant. He’s already here.
T: And what about me?
B: Maybe we’ll finish soon, hm?
C (off): I know you’re a gambler. You can earn more money with this than a company technician does in a whole year.
Flashback: T: The round with your father was the last one.
A: Tobias, you aren’t afraid of losing control, are you?
T: Rubbish.
A: Let’s be serious. You could earn a lot of money.
T: I still got the skills.

[diekesslerin]

Hi everyone! I'm really sorry that I kept you all waiting for so long. I really would have like to continue to do this but I'm afraid I just can't keep up, especially now that they have more scenes again (from what I've gathered from tumblr at least, I still haven't even watched farther than 3022)

as I guess a kind of parting gift, here is the last of what I translated (first half of 3022) (i saw that most of it was already translated but i figured i did it so i wanna send it too haha)

Scene 1 – 10:36-12:13
Annabelle: Dad, you wanted to talk to me?
Christoph: Yes, Annabelle, take a seat.
Waitress: Can I get you something?
A: The usual, latte macchiato with kona coffee and soy milk.
W: Gladly.
C: Why am I not surprised that you like that expensive stuff.
A: Well, connoisseurs know how to appreciate good coffee. So, what can I do for you?
C: I was thinking we should talk. What do you think about Tobias Ehrlinger?
A: No idea, didn't have much to do with him so far. Not my type, for sure, but my gay little brother doesn't seem to be so picky. You want to get rid of him. Because of Boris? What do I have to do with that?
C: I care about your opinion.
A: Really? All of a sudden? Why don't you ask Denise?
C: I'm sorry if you feel neglected. I see that you're trying, with your master's thesis too.
A: Yet you still want my sister as your successor.
C: Who knows? I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself and to show me that I'm wrong. I'd like to know your thoughts about this.
A: What is it? A dossier about Ehrlinger?

Scene 2 – 14:05-16:01
C: It's impossible that we don't have anything on that guy.
A: Well, if he's not busy changing lightbulbs he's picking kittens out of trees or saves old grannies in burning houses. Isn't he wonderful?
C: Everyone has a skeleton in the closet, some kind of dirty little secret.
A: Our Tobi seems to be an exception, at least at first glance. Look at this, the bank statments. 4 years ago, 3-digit-sums have been deposited 3 times, not rounded. And then here, only shortly thereafter almost the same sums have been withdrawn again, but this time rounded.
C: But those aren't particularly high amounts.
A: Those probably aren't illegal earnings, but maybe what he does with the money is illegal.
C: Of course. Why didn't I notice that right away? He's a galmbler, just like Gottfried.* Sometimes, when my father had won and sworn to stop he deposited his winnings to an account, just to withdraw it again a week later and gamble it away.
A: But if Tobias was really a gambling addict, Boris would've suspected something by now.
C: Maybe he's not gambling at the moment, but the addiction is dormant.
A: What's your plan?
C: You had better ask how you can help me.

[some might not know this: Gottried is Christoph's father (making him Boris' Grandfather) and he was a heavy gambler, which made Christoph's childhood very hard and they still don't have a good relationship]

Scene 3 – 23:19-24:24
Boris: I talked to the police and asked them to be discrete with their investigation. We can only hope that this robbery won't cause lots of bad press again.
Christoph: Among all this turmoil lately one thing has almost been forgotten. The half million that you still owe me.
B: We still have to discuss the terms of repayment.
C: I've already set them, you have 4 weeks.
B: What? But that's not legal.
C: Take your chance.
B: How am I supposed to get all that money this fast?
C: Fortunately that's not my problem.
B: You know that's impossible.
C: 4 weeks. Or else you better prepare to take a bankruptcy oath.



Again I'm really sorry and thanks to the people who took over for me! I'll try to check in every once in a while so if anyone needs my help with anything, the offer still stands

[lindor]

diekesslerin: Thanks for doing it so far! I think everyone appreciates it! It's like teamwork now

B: Hey.
R: Mh, hey.
B: Do you know where Tobias is?
R: Oh, ehm, he isn’t home? Just call him.
B: I already tried dozens of times. He won’t answer.
R: Hm, ehm. Here, try this.
B: What’s that?
R: Well, actually I get the ice cream for my mobile ice cream parlor from Galtano, but I thought I could create my own type of ice cream called “Romy’s special”. Raspberry and white chocolate.
B: You could improve the creaminess.
R: Well, deep-frozen raspberrys with milk.. without an ice cream machine. I should better leave it be.
B: Tell me, do you also have the feeling that Tobias is a bit weird at the moment?
R: Why?
B: Did he say something? Have I done something wrong?
I have the feeling he’s avoiding me.
Since the talk with my father to be concrete.
R: He’s probably very busy. Listen, are you going to eat this up? Because the taste wasn’t that bad, was it?
B: I just think it’s strange that my father promised him to release my debts. Without a reward.
And everything Tobias has to say about it is: Just be glad.
R: Right, I have another question concerning the mobile ice cream parlor. It’s not a problem that I have another job besides the “Fürstenhof”?
B: As long as you’re doing it in your free time. Everyone has a side job.
R: That’s great, because I think I’ll be very successful with it. I was in the village earlier, near the fountain. And I sold so much, it’s really worth it.
B: Nice.
T: Tobias Ehrlinger. Sadly, it’s just the mailbox. Leave a message and I’ll call back. Servus.

II
B: Finally!
Did you just come home?
T: Are you jealous now?
B: Should I?
T: I love you. You know that.
B: Where have you been?
T: At my parents’. My mum got hurt.
B: Is it bad?
T: No, she has just wrenched her ankle.
But.. there was a lot to do. I had to milk the cows, feed the pigs. Something like this.
B: Why haven’t you at least looked at your phone?
T: Well, my phone was in the house and it was already late when I had the chance to look. So I thought I didn’t want to wake you up anymore.
B: I was really worried.
T: I’m sorry. I’m going to write you immediately next time, there was just such a rush.
B: Can I also get a coffee now?
T: Sure.

III
T: Good morning, gentlemen.
A: Good morning, Mr. Ehrlinger. The gate in the West is squeaking terribly, please take care of it.
T: Yes, I will.
R: Man, Tobias. Where have you been the whole evening? Boris looked everywhere for you.
T: I.. was at my mom’s.
R: Don’t lie to me. You played again, am I right?
T: Only online at first.
R: And then?
T: I was on a roll and I went to play real poker.
R: How much? How much did you lose?
T: Nothing at all. I won 300€. Hm?
R: Tobias, you have to promise me that you’re going to stop it. Otherwise you’ll be addicted again in less than no time.
T: Oh my! You know, what I told you.. It wasn’t that bad at all. Besides, just because I’m playing one time now doesn’t mean that I have a problem right away.
I got it under control, I’m serious.


IV
B: Hey. Tobi.. wake up.
T: Hi. Oh, only a microsleep.
B: After that night – no wonder.
Espresso doppio. I thought you could need it.
T: You’re the best.
B: I know.
I’ll come along with you later.
T: Where?
B: Well, to your farm. They probably need one more man, don’t they?
Furthermore, I can intensify the good impression of me from last time by helping properly.
T: That’s really nice of you. But my mom is already in a better state, so it won’t be necessary.
B: She already wants to kick off with her sprained ankle?
T: Yes, the fellow countrymen are tough.
Thank you. I have to continue the work. I have to fix the projector and there is a sticking window in the Blue Salon.
B: Alright, see you later.
T: See you.

V
T: The projector is working again, the problem was a wrong adjustment on the laptop.
F: Thank you.
B: Wait. Listen, is it possible that you don’t want me to come along with you to see your parents?
T: Well, in the beginning there was no problem with the outing. And they immediately invited you for dinner, but.. Meanwhile, they’re wobbling around a bit.
B: And why all of sudden?
T: The neighbours noticed something. And, well, the Härtlinger Sepp and my father, they are just special.
B: The last thing I want to happen is that you get into trouble at home because of me.
But why didn’t you tell me right away?
T: I.. I just was embarrassed.
B: Hey, it’s not your fault. Nobody knows better than me how weird parents can be.
F: Mr. Saalfeld.
B: See you, then. And don’t be down in the mouth.

[John Do]

Thank you diekesslerin for all your hard work

And thank to lindor too. You can skip Episode 3031 and 3032, maus25 already translated them.

[lindor]

I'm glad I can help

There's nothing much for 3030:
3030
I
T: Ah, mia bella cugina, the best ice cream seller in the world, eh!
Make one scoop for me. Peanut, pistachio or chocolate chip.
What’s wrong? Where is the gelato?
R: It’s gone. The ice cream cart. It’s gone. It has been stolen.
T: But who would steal an ice cream cart?

II
Robert and Tina talking about the cookbook.
Ro: Take care, Boris!
B: You want to miss such an opportunity?
T: Yes.
B: Can I ask for the reason?
T: Noo.



Yes, I'm going to skip the next two parts

[lindor]

3033:
I
T: I’m not like your grandfather. I know when to stop.
B: How often did I already hear that?
T: I learned my lesson, really. That’s why I wanted to give the 1000€ back to you right away.
B: What about the rest? I heard that you multiplied your stake, you genius.
T: I paid the remaining gaming debts.. I know it was stupid that I wanted to steal the money from the safe. I.. Man, I’m sorry, I just wasn’t myself.
And I meant what I said.. I will never touch these goddamn cards again. Please.
Phone rings.
B: It’s Tina. (He answers the phone) Hey. Alright, see you. Yes, bye.
(To Tobias) Tina will be here in a bit.
T: Are you.. will you come over later?
B: Don’t know.
T: Here.
B: Thanks.

II
C: Good morning. Is everything alright?
B: It’s okay.
C: Or does something cause pain?
B: And who deserves the thank for that?
C: So now it’s my fault that your companion in bed is addicted to gambling?
B: Stop talking about him like this.
C: I’m sorry, you’re right. That was inappropriate.
B: Didn’t think you would realize it.
C: I’m just worried about you, Boris. I don’t always strike the right note in these situations.
B: You’re worried? Does that give you the right to provoke his gambling?
C: How else could I have shown that he is still addicted?
B: Yes, he started playing again. But he’s going to stop now. I’m sure about that.
C: Aha, and you believe him?
B: You’ll see. He’s going to make it.
C: Boy, you grew up with a grandfather who was addicted to gambling. So you should know all the affirmations and excuses. You were so disappointed when your beloved grandfather relapsed again and again, do you remember?
B: I love Tobias. And I won’t give up on him.
C: What about him? Does he also love you or does he just want your money to be able to continue playing?
B: That’s nonsense.
Xenia enters.
C: I hope you’re not going to be disappointed again.
X: Are you taking out your frustration on our son once again?
C: And you’ve got nothing better to do than taking your frustration out on me all the time?
X: Was it about Tobias again?
B: Yeah. At least you won’t have to worry about Tobias murdering you anymore. I now know why he released me from the debts.
X: Why?
B: Tobias was addicted to gambling in the past. Dad must have found out somehow. And he played a poker match with him for my debts.
X: So he’ll relapse again?
B: Yes.
X: Christoph really thinks he could do whatever he wants to.

III
A: What’s that?
T: The 5.000€ I owe you. Plus 20% interest, how we agreed.
A: You really made it. How much did you clean up?
T: Enough. Here.
A: I’m glad I could help you out. Anytime again.
T: Not necessary.
A: And how about the two of us playing as partners?
T: That was my last round.
A: Come on!
T: You and your father had your triumph. I won’t let getting provoked again once again.
What’s wrong? She just waved.
A: Do you have any siblings?
T: No.
A: You won’t get it then. Keep the money, you never know.
T: I don’t want your money.

IV
T: Here you are.
B: Can you grease the door of the beauty salon? Still today? My mother can reopen tomorrow. She also mentioned something about the light, you might better call her.
T: I will.
B: Thank you.
T: I understand that you didn’t come over yesterday.
Here. Just open it.
B: Lisbon.
T: You always raved about it. I.. paid it of my last profit.
B: I don’t know if I can square with my conscience.
T: I know it’s a bit strange, but.. I thought we just have to get out of here for once.
Especially me. It’s indeed a bit selfish, but.. I actually didn’t want to tell you. Your father hasn’t been the only one trying to seduce me to gamble. Your sister, too.
B: Annabelle?
T: She was always trying to force money on me. At one point, I became weak.
B: That’s not possible!
T: Please. Not one more fight. Let’s just make a journey.
B: You’re right. She’s not worth it.
Alright, I’ll come with you.
T: Really?
B: On one condition. When we get back from Lisbon, you’re going to a substance abuse counselor and going to search for a therapist.
T: I promise.

[lindor]

3034
I
E: Is there something else you want to tell me?
R: No, no..
B: Hi. Have you maybe seen Tobias somewhere?
R: I don’t have a clue.
E: Ehm, I.. He wanted to go to the hardware store.
Desire?
B: You caught me. See you.
E: Sweet.. the two of them are so in love with each other.

II
B: Hey Tobi. Are you still in the hardware store? Hurry up, so we can make plans about Lisbon.
See you later.
Ti: You look so thoughtful?
B: I’m just wondering about Tobias’ whereabout.
Ti: Working?
B: Yes, probably.
Well, who is this? Guess it’s my friend Tom. Hello little varmint.
What are you actually doing here already? You’re on sick leave.
Ti Yes, I just wanted to give my colleagues a few muffins.
B: You should rest your finger instead of baking.
Ti: A bit of baking doesn’t bother my finger. He’s fine and soon fit again, like me.
B: Great.
Ti: Boris? Is everything alright?
B: Yes, why?
Ti: Because your face is telling a different story.
B: Tobias is a gambler. He kept it a secret from me and he has relapsed.

III
Ti: So, what’s the plan now?
B: He promised me to never do it again. But he lied so often lately.
Ti: Now you don’t know if you can still believe him.
B: I thought he’s the one. No one else but him. We were so happy. And now this.
Ti: Boris, I think the perfect luck is an illusion. Otherwise life would be boring, don’t you think so?
B: The fire department. A mission. I have to go.

IV
A: So, what was it this time? The rescue of a straying cat or did you pump out a cellar, undaunted by death?
B: Not completely dried hay caught fire in a stack. Could have been dangerous, but we arrived just in time.
A: Wow, Bichlheim could have been victim of the flames without your heroic commitment.
B: Let it rest.
A: Why are you so annoyed?
B: Are you surprised? You helped dad to make Tobias gamble again.
A: It just was for your own good.
B: As if. You want to separate Tobias and me. To become dad’s darling.
A: Am I in need of that?
B: Obviously.
A: Dad only doesn’t want this lying addict to destroy your life.
B: Dad would take action against every man who’s with me. He’s hoping to “turn” me. But he can dream on.
A: And what if Tobias will drag you down? Ruining you?
B: That should please you. One less competitor concerning his succession.
A: If you want to take an advice from your little sister, get rid of this Tobias. Such an addiction is going to destroy everything some day.

V
T: Hey. You’re back from the mission?
B: Yes, I missed you there.
T: The squad leader sent me a message that there are enough people and I’m not needed. That’s why I was in Tölz.
B: At the hardware store.
T: Yes, at several stores. The light design your mum wants for the salon is quite complicated.
What, do you think I played again?
B: Did you?
T: I told you that it was the last time. Man, I even got registered at the substance abuse counseling.
I just still wait that a therapist will get allotted to me.
B: Fine.
T: You don’t believe me.
Do you want to see the message? Or shall we call him right away?
B: The message is enough.
T: Seriously?
B: Sorry.
T: Are you happy now?
B: Don’t you understand?
T: Yes, sure. I do.
B: Shall we leave for Lisbon tomorrow?
T: What? We won’t get vacation at short notice.
B: I’m not for nothing the manager. I’ll take care of a substitute, so Christoph can’t do anything against it.
T: You want it for sure?
B: Yes. Like you said, we need some distance.
T: Alright. I mean, there are casinos in Portugal, too. So.. Just a joke.
B: You crackpot.

[lindor]

3035
I
B: Dos galao, por favor.
Ti: What’s wrong?
B: I’m just trying to learn how to order two white coffees tomorrow morning.
Ti: I see. Have a great time, you and Tobias. I hope you can blow away the cobwebs in Lisbon.
B: Thank you, Tina. A change of scene has been really necessary. What did you want from me?
Ti: Could you tell me if I have forgotten my prescription for the physiotherapy, maybe on the coffee table?
B: Ehm. Yes, it’s here.
Ti: Oh, I already thought I lost it, great. I will just hand it in later next time.
B: Listen, Tobias just arrived.
Ti: Alright. Have a blast, you two.
B: Yes, see you, bye.
Ti: Bye.
B: Perfect timing.
Is your stuff still downstairs?
T: Unfortunately, we have to postpone the journey.
B: What, why’s that?
T: Our seasonal worker Jorgos fell ill. I have to help my parents with the harvest of corn.
B: You’re not serious now.
T: He drives the second tractor and no one else but me can take over it.
B: Well, so it’ll be harvest of corn instead of Fado then. I’m in.
T: That’s not possible. Because of the insurance.
B: I can still watch you working? And maybe bringing you a sandwich on the field?
T: Yes, but.. You know how difficult it is at the moment when I’ll show up with you.
B: I thought the talk about the milking machine and the neighbours was just an excuse when you wanted to play.
T: It’s true about the neighbours. See you tonight. Could take some time.

II
R: I thought you were in Lisbon.
B: What?
R: Will the plane leave at a later date?
B: No, it won’t leave at all. Tobias has to help his parents with the harvest all of sudden.
He has to help them quite often.
R: Are you afraid?
B: You know about Tobias being addicted?
R: He told me everything.
R: But I think and hope he will get out of it now, because he recently took on a lot of debts.
B: After that he tried to rob the hotel’s safe.
R: You’re not serious?
B: Yeah.
R: Do you now believe he’s sitting at a poker table?
B: Do you know Jorgos?
R: He works at the farm of Uncle Rubi, why?
B: He shall replace him to ride the tractor, supposedly.
R: That’s possible, there is harvest of corn going on. Tobias’ parents indeed ride tractors. My uncle always rides one and the other one..
B: So Tobias was telling the truth.
R: Could be.

III
B: Hey.
R: Hey.
B: Didn’t you want to ride the ice cream cart?
R: I had to put it on ice. I have to get to Krauting, because Tobias had to give up, too.
B: Why?
R: He has to get back to “Fürstenhof” to repair the sauna.
B: Okay, I didn’t know about that.
R: It’s because you’re on vacation officially.
B: Don’t you also think it’s weird? First, he cancels the journey to help his parents and then he runs off from there because he’s needed at the “Fürstenhof”.
R: Do you think he’s playing poker again?

[lindor]

Sorry, I was really busy the whole weekend.

3036
I
R: Repairing the sauna, as if!
T: Ehm, Romy, I..
R: You played poker again, right?
T: But not very long.
R: Until you got into debt again, I suppose.
T: No, until the match got cancelled by a roundup. Someone gave an anonymous hint.
R: The police caught you?
T: I could run off shortly before that.
R: Tobias, you promised me to stop playing.
T: I know, I didn’t even want to play. But a poker buddy told me some ‘fishes’ were coming. Bad players who you can easily gut. So I couldn’t resist.
R: How long are you planning to fool Boris?
T: Why?
R: He can put two and two together. And he’s worried, so am I by the way.
T: Have you told anyone else? Paul?
R: No. But I don’t feel like to go on with lying.
T: You don’t have to. I’m going to tell Boris everything.
R: Go on.

II
P: Namaste.
B: Have you seen Tobi?
P: This morning, yeah.
B: I mean if he repaired the sauna.
P: The sauna is working perfectly.
B: I thought so.
P: Boris? Just one question. How much does a wedding at the “Fürstenhof” cost?
B: You and Romy? You’ll marry?
P: Yes, well, we met here. We got together here and it’s actually quite a fairytale castle.
She doesn’t know about it so far, but I first wanted to ask how much it would cost for the two of us?
B: It’s the question how big it should be. You have to at least calculate a couple of thousands.
Even with 10% employee discount. It won’t be cheap.
P: Okay, it was only an idea. The main thing is I’ll marry the woman of my dreams.
B: I’m happy for you.
P: Thanks. Theoretically, you could split the costs when it’s a double wedding, right?
B: Who else is going to marry?
P: Well, you, Tobi. It’s true love as well.
B: I won’t marry.
P: Okay.

III
B: Well, here you are. I’m searching for you everywhere.
T: Ehm, sorry. It took ages to find the right heating rod.
B: Tobi, the sauna doesn’t have to be repaired, it’s working perfectly.
T: Yes, for now. But when I serviced it the day before yesterday, I noticed that one of the heating rods malfunctioned. And I remembered when I was on the tractor, so I thought I could just take care of it.
B: That’s all well and good, but..
T: That’s my job. Why are you getting so upset at all?
B: Take a guess.
T: You believe I played again. Take a quick look then. That’s what you want. Please.
Happy now?
B: I’m an idiot.
T: That’s true.
No hard feelings.

IV
T: Do we want to have a nice evening today? Maybe going to the cinema?
B: We already have plans for tonight actually.
T: We do?
B: I wanted to belatedly celebrate the start of my new job at the fire department.
T: Alright, and what are your plans?
B: A drink, I already asked some guys from the fire department after finishing time. That’s okay, isn’t it?
T: Sure. Shall we go to the “Bräustüberl”?
B: I would rather keep it more private. We can’t do it at Romy and Tina’s because of Tom. But you could maybe ask Joshua und Paul if we could meet up at your place.
T: They sure won’t be against it as long as they’ll get a beer.
B: That shouldn’t be a problem.
T: And afterwards?
B: I think I’ve got something in mind.

V
B: No, you don’t have to bring anything of course. That’ll be the day. I’ll send you the address later in the fire department’s chat. Yes, see you later. Bye.
C: Did you come to your senses after all? Taking a holiday with a gambling boyfriend surely isn’t a pleasure.
B: Can I do something else for you?
C: Yes, you can. You have to get to Tölz today for a meeting with the tourism association. Unfortunately, I have an appointment in Munich.
B: You have to postpone it then.
C: Pardon?
B: I’m off duty until tomorrow. And I’m going to celebrate the start of my new job at the fire department with my colleagues tonight.
C: I don’t even want to imagine what kind of party it’ll be. This appointment is extremely important for the “Fürstenhof”.
B: I know.
C: Besides, you’re the manager. Do your job.

VI
P: The most important thing about a triathlon is staying adamantine. Self-discipline is significant.
Strict training every day. It’s not possible that I drink two beer or something like this in the evening. So I’ll stick to non-alcoholic beer, tight diet plan, huh?
And if I hadn’t injured myself so unhappily, I would have been on my way to the Olympics right now.
T: Yes, you big champion, now eat something and you won’t talk such nonsense.
P: Who else should take care of your guests? You act like the head chef here and your boyfriend is too late for his own party.
T: Well, it’s not his fault that his father burdens him with this appointment. Besides, he sure will be here soon.
G: Work comes first.
P: What are we going to do until then?
T: Mmh, karaoke? I’m just kidding.
P: How about poker?
T: You can’t just fleece your guests.
P: Who’s talking about fleecing? I took a fancy to it again when I explained it to Boris recently.
G: We should take the chance then.
P: Challenge accepted.
T: Listen, I’m not in the mood at all for poker right now.
P: It’s just a little harmless game, that’s all. Gee.
T: Come on, the start is already bad. You don’t want to pour your hard earned money down a rat hole.
P: What’s wrong? You aren’t afraid, Ehrlinger, are you?
Come on, since when you’re such a grinch?
T: Alright, but just until Boris arrives.
P: I promise.
T: Come on, give me the cards.

VII
B: Alright, I’m off then.
Ti: Have a nice time celebrating your new job.
B: Thank you.
Ti: Are things better now with Tobias by the way? Even without a trip to Lisbon?
B: Yes, I think so.
Ti: That sounds like a demur.
B: Well, it’s not easy being with a gambler. And when my father is using every opportunity to shoot against Tobias, then..
Ti: But he didn’t play again?
B: No. To tell the truth, it’s hard for me to trust him. Which is hurting him of course.
Ti: Boris, you’re going to manage it. You’ve been through so much to be together.
B: I love Tobias and he loves me. Nothing is going to separate us so soon. Not even a card game.

VIII
G: A flush.
P: I don’t know right know how to teach you this, but.. full house.
T: I’m out.
P: Yes! Come to daddy.
G: I thought you didn’t play for ages.
P: I would say it’s just a little lucky streak.
T: It’s not only luck. You have the right sense for the right technique.
P: If you say so. Do the gentleman feel like raising the stakes? My girlfriend and I need money for the wedding. How about..50€?
T: It’ll be a bit more exciting then.
G: I’m out.
G: Me too.
T: So just the two of us, I’m in.
P: And?
T: Yeah.
P: I’ll raise you 50€. Can someone open the door?
T: I’ll go along.
G: The jackpot is 200€.
T: And I want to see it.
P: No.
T: Yeah. Yes, I like it that way.
What do you say, guys? Revenge?
B: Tell me, are you out of your mind?
P: Hey, wait a moment. There has to be a revenge. He just fished 100€ out of my pocket.
T: It’s only a game among friends. So, the same stake?
B: The game is over. Get out! All of you!
P: Wait a minute, I live here.
B: Out!
P: Alright.

IX
T: You’re making a scene here, kicking everyone out, how could you embarrass me like this?
B: How could you break your promise again? You promised me to never play again.
T: It was just a game among friends. Besides, it was Paul’s idea.
B: Sure, you couldn’t have said no to that. It’s just too tempting to fleece your own friends.
T: Gosh, he knew about the risk. You lose more playing with higher stakes. And he lost, that’s Poker!
B: Yeah, and when you get into debt, you just help yourself at the hotel safe, quite easy!
T: Will you reproach me with this forever now? I apologized for it, I – am – sorry.
B: Yes, but only to lie to me again! Just tell the truth, for god’s sake! You played again today, right? You just bought the stupid heating rod to suppress it.
T: So what? What if that’s the truth? You just don’t know how it feels like. You always got spoiled and were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. But I didn’t. And the reason I’m so good at playing poker is that I worked it out all by myself, without help.
B: Wow! Really, great achievement.
My father was right. You’re addicted to gambling and will always be.
T: Go to your homophobic father then.
B: Tobi, please, I..
T: No. I just can’t stand your mistrust anymore. Go. Now.

C: Tobias Ehrlinger is a gambler. And everything he’s telling you is one big lie.
B: Stop..
C: Face it, boy.
R: Hey.
B: Hey.
Was it stressful?
R: The corn ruined me.
Were there any troubles with Tobias again?
B: He doesn’t want to see me anymore.
R: What? Why?
B: I caught him playing poker. With Paul and a few buddies from the fire department. I lost it and we had a fight.
R: I’m sorry for that. I should have forewarned you.
The thing with the sauna was also a lie. He went to play poker.
B: What? Why haven’t you told me?
R: He promised me that he wanted to tell you himself.
B: And you were believing him?
For God’s sake, he’s addicted!
R: He’s going to manage it for sure if we all support him.
B: I really hope so. But I witnessed it with my grandfather. How the addiction determined his life.
R: Is he still addicted?
B: No.
R: How did he manage to get out of it?
B: I just don’t know.
R: Why don’t you ask him? Maybe he has got some tips for you.
B: That’s a good idea.

II
R: Is everything alright?
P: Yeah, there was a big fight yesterday.
R: Yes, Boris has already told me about it.
P: Although, I don’t get why he freaked out like this.. it didn’t work out for me either. I gambled 100€ away. Yes, I know it was stupid, but I promise you that I’ll recover it as soon as possible.
R: I’m actually not supposed to talk about it.. but you shouldn’t have played poker with Tobias.
P: Why not?
R: Because he’s addicted to gambling.
P: What?

III
P: That’s really heavy. You should have told me sooner.
R: I also know it only for a short time. Tobias is ashamed.
P: He has to stop playing, I mean he really has to have the will for it.
R: It’s not just a question of will, he’s sick. We have to prevent him to isolate himself and that he’s getting more into it.
P: How should we do that? He isn’t even listening to Boris.
R: I would prefer telling his parents. But he’s going to feel deceived then.
P: Yes. Maybe he should just undergo therapy.
R: That would be the best. But we can’t force him to do so. But something must happen.
P: Right.
R: Fine. I’m going to bring Tom to the day nanny, you’ll get the ice cream from Gaetano and I’ll talk to Tobias later again.
Bye.

IV
B: Thank you very much. I hope you get home safely.
G: I also have to thank. Goodbye.
D: Good morning.
B: Morning.
D: Is everything alright?
B: I didn’t sleep well.
D: What’s actually going on? Did you have trouble with Tobias? Wasn’t your plan to go to Lisbon?
B: That was cancelled.
D: How come?
B: Tobias is addicted to gambling to gambling again and he doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.
V
D: It’s dad’s fault?
B: He seduced Tobias to gamble.
D: And Annabelle even joined in.
B: I suppose he gave her money for it.
D: You can’t put up with it.
B: I don’t have any proof.
D: At least talk to Tobias again.
B: He’s recidivistic. Addicted. His thoughts are only about the next game, about the next kick.
We already know that.
D: Grandpa Gottfried.
B: You just hardly noticed it all the time. He showed up again and again and begged for money.
D: We even gave him our pocket money one time. Until dad witnessed and forbade it.
Grandpa Gottfried even called Annabelle and me in the U.S. and he raged. Dad said he would be incapable of contracting and put him into a rest home.
B: You couldn’t trust grandpa anymore.
D: What about Tobias? You love each other. Do you trust him?
B: After he dumped me down this quick, lied to me so many times, how could I ever trust him again?
D: Boris, don’t give up. He needs you.
B: Grandpa Gottfried? Hey, how are you? Could be better. I once have told you about Tobias, my boyfriend..

VI
R: I must talk to you.
T: Do you also want to tell me that I made the biggest mistake of my life?
R: Tobias, it can’t go on like this! You lie to all of us permanently, you fish 100€ out of Paul’s pocket and you even want to break up with Boris?
T: I’m just tired of the whole accusations. Besides, it was Paul who convinced me to play.
R: Because he didn’t know you were addicted.
T: But he knew that you lose more when you raise the stakes. Which he did.
R: You’ll give him the money back, still today.
T: What?
R: And you’re going to apologize to Boris.
T: No.
R: Tobias, please! You can’t allow the addiction to destroy your life like this.
T: Don’t exaggerate.
R: Fine, I’m going to your parents then.
T: You won’t tell them a word!
R: You’ll undergo therapy then!
T: I.. I already called the substance abuse counseling. But I have to wait for a therapist.
R: Alright. You’ll give back the money to Paul. And especially, talk to Boris.
T: Okay.

VII
P: You’re welcome.
W: Thank you very much.
P: “Lindbergh’s ice cream”, recommend us.
W: Very delicious, thanks.
P: Ice cream! Ice cr- Hey! Do you want an ice cream? I just got it, really fresh.
T: Thanks.
P: You don’t want to?
T: Here, for yesterday.
P: I can’t accept the money.
T: Why not?
P: Because I raised the stakes and lost it in an honest way.
T: But I shouldn’t have played in the first place.
P: Why’s that?
T: I’m addicted to gambling.
P: Tobi, why haven’t you told me?
T: I.. I thought I would have it under control.
P: Listen, if you want to talk sometime or go for a run.. To clear your head, to just be quiet.. Let me know.
T: Thank you.


VIII
B: When I’m comparing the recorded drinks with the order list.. The store is way to full, it’s annoying me. Tell that the colleagues.
T: Boris.
You were right. I lost the control. And I lied to you. But I love you and I don’t want to lose you.
B: I love you, too. But you forgot me very quickly for some playing cards.
T: I didn’t forget you.
B: You won 100€ yesterday, it’s going to itch you again sometime..
T: I gave the money back. And it’s never ever going to happen again.
B: How often did you promise me that?
T: I have an appointment with the therapist tomorrow.
B: You must go there.
T: I swear.
B: I would like to believe you. But..
T: Boris, please! Please don’t leave me alone right now.
B: I just don’t know about where we go from here.

IX
R: Thank you.
T: What for?
R: For giving back the money to Paul.
Have you talked to Boris one more time? But?
T: He doesn’t know about where we go from here.
I can’t even image my life without him anymore.
R: Then talk to him again.
T: It’s useless at the moment.
R: You had ONE fight, yesterday. It’ll calm down. As long as you won’t start playing again.
T: Certainly not. I have the appointment with the therapist tomorrow. I also told Boris, but..
R: Boris has to see that you’re serious this time.
What have you done the last time to stop playing?
T: I worked really much. As much I needed so I hadn’t a free minute anymore which I could have used to play.
Do you allow me to sell ice cream sometime when I’m free?
R: Yes, sure. If it helps you.
T: Thanks.

Ti: What do you want?
B: A cheese sandwich.
Ti: But we also got crayfishes covered in sesame. Or great scallops with sunchoke cream?
B: Rather a cheese sandwich.
Ti: Seriously?
B: I’m yearning for something that isn’t complicated.
Ti: Fine, I get it. Would hand-squeezed goat cheese be also alright?
I really understand you. You finally meet your dream lover, you fall out with your father and then this. How should it go on now?
B: If Tobi gets his way, like before.
Ti: And if you get your way?
B: I just can’t anymore.
Ti: You want to give up?
B: Enough of me. Let’s talk about something pleasant. How are you? How’s your love life?
Ti: Nothing. Everything is fine.
Everything is bad.. actually.
B: Nothing?
Ti: Mrs. Sonnenbichler wants to pair me off at all costs with the son of the borough councillor.
B: So?
Ti: I’m happy. I have Tom.
B: And you have me. Well, if I am soon single again, I will have plenty time again for both of you.
Ti: You don’t seriously want to revive our relationship?
B: Well, it didn’t have a happy end either, but as long as I can’t find the right man.
Thank you, darling.

X: You deleted the e-mail? We could have brought him into prison with it. Boris!
D: He already knows. We shortly telephoned.
X: How could you do this?
B: I can understand her.
X: You do? After all the bad actions he took against you?
D: Can we sit down for a moment? I also would like to tell you something else.
B: What is it?
D: Or do you have to leave for your shooting?
X: No, Ms. Bronckhorst is taking care of it for now.
D: I decided to leave the “Fürstenhof”. And to go abroad.
X: What do you want to do? No, why?
D: It just doesn’t feel right. To live in his apartment. To work in his studio and to renovate his stud.
B: We also should have left a long time ago.
X: There’s no way at all! If someone has to leave here, it should be him and not us.
Denise, give it another thought.
B: What do you think about searching an apartment in Bichlheim? And to live temporary with Tina and me?
D: No, I must leave. And the further away, the better.
X: If it absolutely has to be.
D: I can’t help it.
X: An idea strikes me. I have several contacts to some museums in Paris. I could ask if they need a restorer.
D: I’m old enough to search something on my own.
X: Right, and then you’ll end up in a back alley workshop with your talent.
D & B: Mum!
D: I know enough workshops in LA. I’ll find something there.
B: Can I come with you?
X: Now I had you with me and.. you’re leaving right away.
D: I’m sorry. I must leave.

T: Boris.. May I offer the gentleman a delicious ice cream?
B: No, thanks.
T: I just got it fresh out of the refrigeration. Melon and cream. Without additives.
B: I know. Romy is selling it for a while now.
T: It would be nice if we could talk again sometime. I miss you.
B: Unfortunately, I’m fully booked the week.
T: My therapy is working out fine. The self-help group is helping me a lot, too.
B: Great.
T: I don’t play anymore, honestly.
B: That’s good.
T: Is that all?
B: I told you that I still need time.
T: How much?
B: I don’t know.

II
R: You always earn more than me.
T: Yeah, and the reason is that I use this thing here a lot.
R: Tobias..
W: Servus. I would like to have one scoop of chocolate.
T: Unfortunately, there’s only melon and cream left, but it’s very delicious.
W: Thanks, but I don’t like it. Servus.
T: Servus.
Crap. I thought I could still get rid of it as well.
R: For you.
T: You don’t have to give me money. I’m only doing it so that I won’t think of playing.
R: Yes, but..
T: No, it actually should be me giving you some money. It really helps a lot.
R: I’m glad to hear that. And Boris might also be glad. Have you already talked?
T: There’s nothing new. He needs time.
R: I’m really sure he’ll give you a second chance.
T: By the way, the refrigerator sometimes had a loose connection. I think there might be something wrong with the electricity.
R: Oh, is it repairable?
T: Yeah, sure. I can do it later. I have to get to work now.
R: Okay.
