G: The second lantern on the left of the fountain.
T: I’ll have a look at it.
G: Thank you.
T: Morning.
B: Morning.
T: I would have to..
B: What?
T: Get out.
B: Oh, right.
Eh, Tobi?
T: Yes?
B: I was on the tennis court earlier. The net has to be newly tightened.
T: I’ll take care of it.
B: There’s also a hole in it. I don’t know the size right now, but..
T: I’ll have a look.
B: And the ball machine.. also needs a service sometime soon.
T: Yeah. Tennis net, ball machine, I’ll do it.

II
B: Yes?
T: The hole in the old tennis net was too big. I set the other one up.
B: Good.
T: Shall I order a new one?
B: I’ll do it.
T: I can’t sleep anymore. I can only think about you. What about you?
B: Well, I don’t sleep very well either.
T: Can you at least tell me.. Is it over, or.. What happens to us?
B: I just can’t go on like nothing happened.
T: I get it, but.. But I, I can change. I do everything. I’m undergoing therapy. I’m in the self-help group. I distract myself so that I can’t even think about playing. What do I have to do so that you’ll believe me?
B: I don’t know.
T: All right. I get it.
B: How about.. having lunch together today?

III
A: Just wanted to talk to you. But I’ll call you later. Bye.
B: Champagne? This early?
A: Do you want some, too? Now we’re in the same club.
B: Which club do you mean?
A: The one of lonely hearts.
B: Nice of you adding me on your club. But unfortunately, I have to disappoint you.
A: I thought it’s over with your janitor?
B: Yeah, we had a little pause. We’ll have lunch together again this noon.
A: That’s awesome.
B: Isn’t it?
A: Yes, I’m glad when you’re happy.
B: I know that.
A: But I’m a bit worried about you. We know how an addiction can change someone.
B: Do you often drink champagne in the morning?
A: Think about grandpa.
B: You hardly know something about grandpa.
A: How could I? He was gone.
B: And you weren’t really his favorite. Anyway, Grandpa is doing very well with his Christine. And he has his addiction under control. But you might already know that. Because of the close bond of you.

IV
A: Is she travelling?
B: Do you have time to drink something?
A: I have time, but my mood..
C: Shall I throw myself on the ground now in front of you and beg for your pardon?
A: Would be quite nice.
C: Believe me, I appreciate your commitment.
A: You do?
C: And if you think I preferred Denise..
A: You did.
C: I’ll make it up to you, okay?
A: Fine. I already have an information for you.
C: Tell me.
A: Boris is still together with his janitor boy. They both meet up this noon.
C: Are you sure it’s nothing related to business?
A: Dad, would you voluntary sacrifice your break for the addicted ex-partner if there was nothing going on?

I
B: I‘m sorry, I still had a telephone call.
T: No problem.
B: What do..
T: What are..
Both: Your turn.
T: We.. we could drive with the bike to the “Schwarztal-Alm” and have lunch together.
B: I think we might haven’t enough time for that. But, how do you feel about going for a swim? The lake is right here.
T: Yes. Sorry, one moment. Yes? Mr. Saalfeld. Alright, I’ll take care of it. Would it be okay if I’ll do it in the aftern.. Yes, I’ll do it right away. Thank you, goodbye.
B: Was it my father?
T: Werner Saalfeld. The fence on the stud is broken.
B: And you have to get it done immediately at all costs?
T: Because of the animals. It’s about the electric fence. I’m sorry.
B: It’s not your fault.
T: If you might be free another time, or..
B: I could help you with the repair. Yes, I’m perfect in handing tools over.
T: Well, in that case.. let’s get the tools then.
B: Yeah.

II
T: So, the cables and isolators are connected again. It should work again.
B: Did the health office got in touch with you one more time? Did Romy say something?
Is there something wrong after all?
T: I think it’s my fault all the time.
B: About the salmonellae?
T: I noticed that the refrigeration had a loose contact. I should have repaired right away.
B: Yes, but you said it didn’t last long and the ice hasn’t even melted.
T: Romy thinks so, too. But still.. Can you turn the electricity on?
Are you afraid of getting an electric shock?
B: Nah, bullshit.
T: We have done it as dare in the past. It only prickles a little bit.
B: No idea, I have never done it.
T: Really not? Townsfolk. Come on, we’ll try it together, okay? Now come on, these are only 5.000 volts.
B: 5.000 volts?
T: You didn’t pay attention in physics, did you? It’s not the amperage that matters, which is really low here by the way.
Fine, we won’t do it.
B: I want to.
I have to leave, I still got a telephone call to do.
How about if we.. maybe drink a beer tonight?
T: Yes. I mean, it’s okay. Why not?

III
C: Um, Boris. I just had a look at the calculation for the renovation of the stud. Someone should work it over. The current final total seems too low for me.
B: I would have to look it through with Denise again, who fortunately is staying with us.
C: Yes, go ahead and do it. And there is something else.. You might be interested in it, here. It’s the phone number of Tim Kaiser, the ex-boyfriend of Ehrlinger. Maybe the both of you should have a talk.
B: You can’t let it rest, can you? Don’t you think it’s enough that Tobias is addicted again because of you?
C: Boy, that’s the typical reaction of a co-addict.
B: Are you crazy?
C: I just want to help you.
B: You just want one thing. That I’ll break up with Tobias for good. But if you believe I would change into a heterosexual because of this – forget it!
C: Ehrlinger is going to ruin you! Like my father nearly destroyed our whole family.
B: Tobias is working on himself.
C: How often did I hear this sentence from my father.
B: Say no more, it’s enough!
C: I’m really not doing this to annoy or to provoke you. I just want to help you!
Come on, do me the favor and talk to this Kaiser, he sure went through it all, too.




IV
B: Oh, finally you’re here. My stomach is already making noises.
Three empty cans?
T: Yes, they’re worth 75 cents.
B: You played again, am I right?
T: Yes, but this really was the last time.
B: Right, because we don’t have money anymore.
T: Yeah, but.. It’s a bit romantic somehow, isn’t it? Like in the past, when we were young, do you still remember?
B: Yes, but I didn’t have rheumatism back then.
T: Only three more cans. And we’ll get a currywurst then.
B: Yes, hello. Am I talking to Tim Kaiser? My name is Boris Saalfeld. I.. am the boyfriend of Tobias.

V
T: So, there should be electricity again. Try it. It’s working.
D: Great, thank you very much.
T: If everything would be this simple, huh?
Well, I repaired a air conditioner a few days ago, that was a bit more complicated.
D: Right, I thought..
T: What? I see, you thought I was talking about Boris and me.
D: I’m sorry that both of you are having such a hard time.
T: I understand that he’s afraid, but as long as he still has feelings for me..
D: Does that mean..
T: It could be better, but I think we’re on the right track.
D: Oh, I. I’m so glad for you!
T: I’m even more.
D: And thank you for the quick service.
T: Sure, no problem.
D: I’m rooting for you so hard.
T: Alright, see you.
D: See you.

VI
T: Do you handle everyone like this, huh? Calling the ex-boyfriends and spying on them?
B: Tim Kaiser called you.
T: He sent me a message. Since he doesn’t want to talk me. But still less he wants to talk someone he doesn’t even know.
B: I just tried..
T: I already know what you tried. But I explained it to you. He couldn’t accept his sexuality, that’s why we broke up. And not because of my compulsive gambling.
B: And how should I know that this was the truth for once?
T: For once? You’re spying on me without a reason.
B: Does it surprise you after all that happened? You played poker behind my back, you secretly grabbed into the safe.
T: You don’t WANT to trust me anymore!
B: You just don’t get that I can’t trust you that easily again.
T: You know what. Just forget it. This.. isn’t working.

VII
R: Hey.
T: Hey. Have you been in Tölz?
R: At the health office. That was shopping for comfort. Not that I could afford it.
T: Bad news for the ice cream?
R: None. “Your process is in work and we ask you to desist from personal performances in the future”.
T: Man, I hope they’ll get their act together soon. I should have repaired the electrics right away.
R: Maybe. Let’s hope that everything will work out fine.
T: Yeah. I hope so, too.
R: What’s wrong?
T: There only has been a break between Boris and me until now. But now it’s finished for good.
R: What?

VIII
C : I know. But all owners of the “Fürstenhof” are in complete agreement this time: The upgrading is going to happen. 18 holes of course.
B: We must talk. Right now.
C: Mr. von Barlow, I’ll call you back in half an hour, alright? Thank you, so long.
B: The ex-boyfriend of Tobias didn’t know anything about his addiction, but you probably knew that.
C: You overestimate my possibilities. Why else should I have given you the number?
B: So that I would call him, he would tell Tobias who gets really mad at me.
C: I don’t have that much fantasy.
B: Even more.
C: I just want to spare you the experience I made with your grandfather.
B: Stop intruding into my relationship.
C: This Ehrlinger is your ruin.

IX
T : He’s spying on me. He even called my ex-boyfriend and incommoded him. And it’s totally okay for him. I have to regain his trust after all.
R: Maybe he expressed it an unlucky way.
T: He means it exactly like that.
R: Just put yourself in his place.
T: And then? Does he want to give me a tracking device so that he can always know where I am? Or even better: A security camera so that he can keep me from playing online poker.
R: What do you think of the idea that we’ll cook something together tonight?
T: I already have plans. Poker. Now that I’m allowed to. I can gamble all night.
R: You’re destroying your life, Tobias.
T: What do you care?

X
B : You just can’t come to terms with me loving a man. But I’m gay and it’s not going to change anymore.
C: I know that. And I accepted long ago that you’re homosexual.
B: As if. You just can’t cope with it. That I’m not the great heterosexual with wife and children, who will follow in your footsteps.
C: Boy.. I just want you to be happy. But you will never be with this Ehrlinger. Let’s forget about the fights and troubles of the past few months. We were such a great team in the past, huh? It’s time to become one again.

XI
A: What did he say then?
C: Nothing, he just left.
A: Boris shall believe that you accept his homosexuality?
C: And that I only care about the addiction of Ehrlinger. Maybe it’ll reconcile him with me. And as recently as he forgot about his big love, who knows if he gets involved with a woman then.
A: Dad, do you seriously think that you can turn Boris just like this? Like homosexuality would be a disease or a temporary fashion.
C: I’m not that stupid, it won’t be easy of course.
A: Not easy, pah.
C: But Boris will recognize the advantages of a woman as a partner.
A: You’re usually not so naïve.
C: I’m not naïve. But when it’s about my money, I know my son better than himself.
A: So you’re rather hoping for a wonder than offering me your succession?

XII
R: The first course, here it is.
W: Wonderful.
R: Enjoy the meal.
M: Thank you.
W: It looks very nice.
R: Boris!
B: Is there a problem?
R: You could say that.
B: With whom?
R: Tobias wants to start playing again.
B: What a surprise.
R: You have to stop him.
B: But how? I wanted to have a break, but he broke up with me now.
R: I know.
B: I don’t understand your request then.
R: Please! He’s doing very badly, I can see it.
B: So he told you that he wants to play again. He only did that, because he knew that you were going to tell me and that I should him stop him then.
R: So do it.
B: What’s the point? He just gives away the responsibility for his action again.
R: You rather let him ruin his life, right?
B: I can’t heal Tobias’ compulsive gambling. Only he can. And if he only stops to get back together with me, it will start over and over again sometime. I can’t help him.
R: Did you forget why he started to play again?
B: Annabelle and Christoph persuaded him.
R: He wanted to help you.
B: What?
R: Because he loves you.
B: I think you mix something up.
R: He only did it for you. So that you would be free of your father’s debts. And now where he needs you, you’re letting him down.
B: Romy..
B: And you claim that you love him. Great boyfriend.

XIII
R: You’re destroying your life, Tobias.
B: My father was right. You’re addicted and will always be.
C: I know that you’re a gambler.
T: Only now and then.
C: See you next time.
T: There won’t be one.
C: We’ll see.

XIV
T: Servus.
M: Hi.
T: Is Boris Saalfeld in the office?
M: Yes, he is.
B: And? How much did you lose this time?
T: Romy told you I wanted to play. I.. I’m here to tell you that you were right. About everything. Of course you can’t trust me. I don’t even trust myself anymore. And yes, I wanted to play. But I didn’t.
And I can manage it again, but not on my own. Please, please give us another chance.
C: Bravo! You can surely repeat the text in your sleep by now. “Please, please. One last chance, just this one”. My father also said it all the time. It never stops, you know that.
T: Keep out of it!
C: He can destroy his own life, but not yours, too. Send the loser to hell. You and me, we were always so close and it can become like this again. Come home, boy.

I
C: You know that you’re never going to be happy with this one.
T: I know I expected too much of you, but it stops now for good.
C: Better a terrible end than unending terror.
B: If I moved in with you, you would suddenly accept that I’m gay?
C: I can hardly change it, but the main thing is you’ll find yourself another man.
T: Please, don’t listen to him.
C: Boris, you’re my son!
B: Who’s gay after all. And you’re never going to accept it.
You’re such a bad liar. Come on.

II
R: You two are back together? I’m glad to hear that. Do you think you’ll manage it? I mean, you wanted to play poker all night a short while ago. I see. Alright then, enjoy your reconciliation. See you.

III
T: I know it hasn’t been easy for you.
B: I always hoped that my father would accept my homosexuality sometime. But not at all costs.
T: I’m never going to forget that you’re giving me this chance. And you can believe me, I really take the therapy seriously.
B: Good.
T: I want to manage it, I mean it!
B: I’m going to support you, any way I can.
T: I was so afraid that.. it’s over between us. I couldn’t have taken it.
B: Me neither.
T: Does it mean.. you forgive me?

IV
D: Really? You got reconciled? Oh, I’m so happy for you!
B: Tobias is undergoing therapy now. I think he’ll manage it for real this time.
D: I’m rooting for you very hard.
B: And is there something going with you? What’s wrong?
D: A little trace of lovesickness, it’s fine.
B: I can’t understand Joshua. Does he have tomatoes on his eyes?
D: It’s certain that he’s not into me.
B: We should change it then.
D: No, I finally have to accept it.

V
B: I understand you.
D: Maybe I just got something wrong.
B: But that’s the good part of lovesickness: It will pass off. I’m the best proof for that. I mean, how many times I was lovesick? And now, all forgotten.
D: Joshua is into Annabelle. And we both are just entirely different.
B: I guess you still haven’t told him that you fell in love with him? You have to do something more private.
D: We already did. We went for a swim.
B: Really? You?
D: Mh, me.
B: You haven’t told me about it so far. I tried so much to get you into the water. We definitely have to swim together sometime. Or even better, the four of us. Tobias, you, Joshua, me.
D: No.
B: Yes. For a really nice couple day. We’ll take swim, after that a picknick. I’ll call Tobias immediately.
D: No, Boris. No, no, no. Please.

VI
D: Why are you here?
C: Because of Boris. You have a good connection with him.
D: Isn’t it nice that Boris and Tobias are happy again? You’re not pleased.
C: Because I’m not wearing rose-coloured glasses and I recognize the danger which comes from Ehrlinger’s gambling.
D: As if you would care about that.
C: Of course.
D: Tobias is undergoing therapy.
C: Therapists aren’t miracle healers.
D: Boris and him love each other, even if you don’t like it.
C: You seem to be an expert in the matter of love. How is it going on with you?
D: Love means in any case that you work on yourself. For the other one. And Tobias is doing so.
C: And if you fail?
D: You just fail then. It’s still better than not giving the love a chance at all.

VII
T: So, let’s have a look. Ah, it works!
B: What a nice greeting.
T: Alright, I don’t to be like that for once.
B: Yeah. When do you take your break?
T: If you help me collecting the balls.. in a moment.
P: Petri Dank!
T: Man, it’s Petri Heil! You say Petri Dank when you caught something.
P: I see.
T: Are you going to fishing?
P: Yes.
B: You’re serious about the fishing license, huh?
T: It’s a lot of theory, isn’t it?
P: I know.
B: Have you been to fishing once? Do you need help?
P: I’ve never killed an animal. Besides a cat. By accident.
T: Well, actually it’s just hard in the beginning. The most important thing it to do it very fast.
And wham! Period! They don’t have to suffer then.
P: Okay.
B: What’s that? Supplies?
P: I give you three guesses.
B: A cat?
P: Maggots. Living maggots.
B: No worms?
T: It depends on the fishes, sometimes maggots are more effective.
B: Anyway, you just have to put them on the hook. No big deal.
T: But you should practice it. If you want to impress uncle Rubius, it should work very quickly.
P: Otherwise.. period.
T: I often went fishing with him in the past. If you don’t act like the last.. then, he’s just.. he can become impatiently.
P: Tell me something new.
T: Sorry, I just want to be honest. If you want his ‘servus’ for the wedding.. hard work.
B: Well, sometimes it’s more realistic to hope for world peace than for the blessing of a father.
P: If it’s this important for Romy.. I won’t give up. And when I convinced Mr. Ehrlinger, world peace will be thrown in for free. Petri Dank.
T: Never give up.
B: Never capitulate.

VIII
M: You’re welcome.
T: I’ll take care of it after lunch break.
M: Great, thanks.
C: The post please, okay?
M: Yes. Here it is.
C: Thank you.
T: Mr. Saalfeld, do you have a minute?
I don’t take amiss that you wanted to keep me away from Boris. Both of us don’t want to fight with you. Live and let live?
C: You shouldn’t have grabbed into the safe then.
T: I know I didn’t exactly cover myself in glory, but I’m working on myself. It all happened because of my compulsive gambling.
C: Which you magically overcame now?
T: Magic didn’t play a role, I did it with hard work and discipline.
C: If you steal again, you’ll be fired. And I’ll report you.
T: Mr. Saalfeld. We.. we don’t have to love each other. But Boris loves you and he needs you.
I really hope you would jump over your shadow.
C: I don’t give a tinker’s damn about your hopes.
T: Mr. Saalfeld..
B: Let it rest. I already tried for too long.

[lindor]

3044
T: Whats’s wrong? You’re more excited than on the first date.
R: I have to make clear to my father in a minute, that I will marry Paul in any case.
T: Oh oh.
R: And I don’t want to affront him.
T: More likely that a square wheel runs round.
R: Thank you very much for your moral support.
T: I’m just saying. Otherwise, he also can be totally loose.
R: When? When he’s sleeping?
T: For example when I outed myself. He reacted quite cool then.
R: You’re not his son.
H: Hello, my little girl.
R: Hi, dad.
T: Servus, uncle Hieronymus.
H: My pleasure, Tobi.
R: Have you caught something?
H: Yes, a prize-winning pike. I hadn’t had such a big one on the hook for a long time.
T: Congratulations.
H: Thanks. I already heard a lot about the “Fürstenhof”, but I’ve never been here.
T: So now’s the time.
H: Well, the world of the upper class isn’t really mine.
R: Most of the guests here are actually very nice.
H: Yes, it’s a great thing that you have your apprentice position here.
R: Do we want to sit down?
H: Yes, gladly.
Romy, I’m sorry that we had such a fight.
R: Dad, me too.
W: What can I serve you?
R: Do you want a coffee?
H: Yes, I do. But not a macchi-thingamabob, espresso-cappuccino-stuff. But a proper coffee.
W: So an americano?
H: Nah, a quite normal filter coffee.
W: Alright.
R: For me too, please.
T: And for me.. nothing.
H: Well, milk is allowed, right?
W: Of course. So, two brown ones.
T: Right.. It’s incredible that Romy is going to marry now. And Paul is really a nice guy, I live with him in the flat-share and.. that’s why, well I think I have to continue working unfortunately. But it was nice to see you. Servus.
H: Take care. God speed you, Tobi.

[lindor]

3045
I
B: Thank you, Jackie.
D: Joshua didn’t notice anything anyway.
B: After what you just told me, I think he did.
D: That wasn’t my aim. Well, I wanted him to wake up, but..
B: Alright, don’t care about it so much. When you’re comatose, you can’t really differentiate between reality and dream anyway. As I got shot back then, everything was so diffuse. I couldn’t have sworn what was going on at that time.
D: Annabelle noticed it.
B: She just knows you. You’ve never been a good liar.
D: At least she didn’t reveal it to Joshua. But you should have seen her look. Although they just had an affair.
B: Like with the cookies of Svenja in former times. Annabelle rather wanted to get an upset stomach than giving us one.
D: Yes, nearly the same. She’ll never let it happen that I get the tiniest chance with him.
What am I supposed to do?
B: Pre-empt her.
D: Telling Joshua I kissed him?
B: Shush, not so loud. Because you love him.
D: You make it sound so easy.
B: That’s always the case with other people than oneself. But it’s still the best thing to do.

II
A: Thank you.
Boris! Did you hear what Denise did?
B: No.
A: But you should. Our little sister isn’t that innocent like everyone is assuming.
She kissed my boyfriend while he was comatose and couldn’t defend himself.
B: You should keep this nonsense to yourself.
A: She admitted it. Denise exactly knows how much he means to me.
B: The only one who means something to you is yourself.
A: Still mad because of Tobias?
B: Come on, Annabelle, just spare me your drama.
A: I’m really sorry. I seduced Tobias to play poker just because of you. Dad said that you would finally realize how unreliable he is.
B: You do everything you can, don’t you? Just to get a bit appreciation from him. That’s really pathetic.
A: Who’s the one who danced to his tune all the years? You were his right and left hand, in any case.
B: Yeah and that’s why I can warn you of dad. He doesn’t respect anyone who’s dependent on him. You’ll stay his marionette forever in that case. For his evil games.

III
C: You must be thirsty after playing tennis, huh? I want to apologize to you. You took the thing with Boris the wrong way recently.
A: You neither want him or me as your successor, you’re mad at Denise, it’s getting tight right now, isn’t it?
C: Do you know King Lear?
A: Yeah, read it in school one time. Or not.
C: The old man also realized very late which one of his daughters was the most loyal one.
A: What does it mean now?
C: I was very defensively, even though you always stood by my side. I can picture you very well as my successor. I mean, I’m far away from being this old like King Lear or.. Werner. He wants to assign 5% of his share to Joshua.
A: You’re not serious.
C: And Robert, too. Again 5%. So the young man now owns 10% of the “Fürstenhof”.
It means it’ll be a completely new ball game.
A: I get it! That’s what the fuss is about. You want me to get Joshua on your side and then you say thanks and goodbye. Dream on.
C: I meant it with the succession.
A: And when I won’t play along about Joshua?
C: The “Fürstenhof” has to become our property again. Or is it something serious after all between you and Joshua?
A: But I’ve got one condition.
C: Spill it.
A: I want a position in the management.
C: I’ll take care of it.

[lindor]

3046
B: Hey, are you fit again?
J: In some degree.
B: Glad to hear. Also considering the hotel shares.
J: So everyone already knows about it.
B: They had to inform me as the manager. You accepted the offer, didn’t you?
J: Not yet. I don’t know if I should accept it.
B: Why’s that?
J: I don’t like such big presents.
B: You’re going to inherit the shares anyway sooner or later.
J: That’s not the point, I don’t have any idea of the hotel business.
B: You’ll familiarize yourself with it. And if you should have a question, I’m also there for you.
J: Even if your father and I don’t get along with each other?
B: More than ever.

[lindor]

3047
I
C: Yes?
J: Can I interrupt for a moment? I’m searching for my father.
C: I haven’t seen him.
J: Alright.
C: But since you’re already here.. would you like to have a look around?
J: I certainly won’t get into day-to-day business.
C: Congratulations. Welcome to the club of shareholders. To a good collaboration.
J: Thank you.
C: I hope that we can settle our personal misunderstanding.
J: I hope so, too. It’s about the well-being of the “Fürstenhof” after all.
C: Absolutely. That’s a good keyword. If you want, you could act right away. I.. would like to hire Annabelle as the manager. I mean, you also know her and surely can agree with me that she would more than cope with this task.
J: Definitely, but there’s already a manager, right?
C: Boris, yes. But he’s a bit overstrained with the task and to be fully honest, also unreliable. Besides, I would like to show Annabelle a perspective and my trust. But I can’t enforce the resignation of Boris on my own.
J: And now you want me to consent to the dismissal of your son?
I can’t.
C: I.. can understand of course. But there are still other task areas. I can very well imagine Annabelle as PR-manager. She’s an expert in marketing, has presence, can express herself outstandingly. What do you think, Mr. Winter?
J: Yes, I can imagine that.
C: Meaning?
J: It’s no problem for me.
C: Good.

II
B: PR-manager ? Is that her wage for bringing Tobias back to the poker table?
C: Anyway, Annabelle is going to take over the whole marketing department.
B: Alright, I’m dethroned then. Denise doesn’t want to work in the management, so Annabelle it is.
C: It’s also about to relieve you.
B: I didn’t know that this would be necessary.
C: That’s exactly the problem. You aren’t able to see the obvious.
B: I do. Unfortunately. It just took too much time.
C: I expect that you’ll support your sister. And involve her in everything.
B: Of course.


III
B: Tobias might also come later.
J: Robert and Werner will be late, too. Thank you.
B: Thanks, Jackie.
J: Well then. To a life without wasp stings.
D: And much success as a new shareholder of the “Fürstenhof”.
B: Well, you already fulfilled your first official act. He made Annabelle the PR-manager.
J: Why not?
B: We’ll see. How’s the restoration of the riding establishment going on? Are you still working on the project or are you now rather interested in hotel management?
J: Cut out the paperwork. I rather see me as a silent copartner. I love the work too much.
D: Guess I’m lucky then.
B: Our expert in marketing is here.
J: Hey. Do you want to drink something? One champagne, please.
D: What’s wrong with her?


IV
T : With the help of the Tölz’ people and three quenching cars, we controlled it very quickly. Why are you already here? I would have come around later.
B: I’m not in the mood for Annabelle’s charade. I would like to tell Joshua right away that he’s sharing his bed with a snake in the grass.
T: Why didn’t you? I see, you don’t want to confront the new shareholder as a telltale.
B: He seems to really like Annabelle. Even though they’re having a row currently.
T: Well, Joshua sure knows what he’s doing.
B: Now I have to work with her every day. After all she did to you.
T: It was my decision to play again. Don’t blame your sister for everything.
B: She got manipulated by our father.
T: Yes, but they didn’t achieve what they actually wanted.
B: On the contrary. It welded us together more than ever.
T: You now know my darkest secret. And you’re still here.
B: That could change. If you don’t jump under the shower right now.
T: Are you coming with me?

D: You asked me why I had that look. Well, now say something about it.
B: I can understand that you’re sad.
D: How does she always accomplish it? Reveal it to me.
B: Hm?
D: Well, how does she constantly accomplish to twist men around her finger?
B: You’re asking the wrong guy.
D: Why can’t I never accomplish it? What am I doing differently?
B: Paulina, two coffees, please.
P: Of course.
B: You just don’t play off your trump cards. If you would tell Joshua about the kiss at least, then..
D: Yeah, sure. He’s asking me about Annabelle’s favorite flowers, because he wants to be with her and I’m saying: Are you really sure? Since it was me who woke you up with the kiss.
B: Just wait for the flash in the pan to end, it’ll disappear by itself.
D: Well, when Mr. Firefighter is saying so.
B: As soon as Annabelle is tired of him, it’s your turn.
D: Great. And your consolation gift is..
B: Hey! I never want to hear this again. You’re a jackpot, remember.
D: However, if Annabelle ditched him someday..
B: What she’ll do sooner or later.
D: It doesn’t mean he would automatically fall in love with me, Boris.
B: Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so pessimistic? I don’t know you like this.
Should I talk to him? Should I inform him that it was Annabelle behind the thing with Tobias and the poker?
D: Don’t. It would just mean I foment you against her again.
B: If you belong together, like you think, you’ll find together one day.

[lindor]

3049
I
D: There’s a great spot for a picnic up there.
B: But what’s the status with Annabelle now? Have you talked one more time after what happened with the mirror?
D: No, what for? How are things with Tobias by the way?
B: Nice try, but too obvious unfortunately. If I was in your position, I would just tell Joshua the truth about the kiss. So he can still think about if he really wants to be with Annabelle. But without the slightest courage.. it’ll never work with you two, Denise.
D: Did you see that? A colorful wimpeldimpel just flew by.
B: You’re still remembering it.
D: Yes. Inventing fancy names for butterflies was my favorite game back then while hiking.
B: The “Rosatupfenzurbel” was your absolute favorite and since that moment you called everyone and everything like that.
D: That’s true and you always started singing.
B: Ein Jäger aus Kurpfalz (A hunter from the Electoral Palatinate).
D: Oh no. I always got an earworm from that.
B: Der reitet durch den grünen Wald (Who’s riding through the green forest).
D: No.
B: Er schießt sein Wild dahin, gleich wie es ihm gefällt (He’s shooting the game just how he likes it).
D: You’re so mean.
B: Come on, sing along.
Both: Juja, juja, gar lustig ist die Jägerei, allhier auf grüner Heid (What fun the huntsmanship is, here on the green heathland).

II
Tobias helps Alfons.

III
B: You don’t seriously toy with the idea of leaving from here when the riding establishment is done?
D: What should I do then?
B: Eating bread with me?
D: Besides, I’m not in the mood to watch Annabelle’s lucky love day in, day out. And if Joshua notices that I’m in love with him, then..
B: You know my opinion about it.
D: Yeah, I should come out. But it’s not that easy, Boris. And if I stayed here, what would they think about me? That I’m stalking them? I think a restart somewhere else really would be the best.
B: And where do you wanna go? Back to the U.S.?
D: Well, let’s see. Maybe I’ll establish a pony form in Iceland.
B: Great idea. Viktor could get you the right horses and I’ll take care of the finances.
D: A family business? Great idea. And what about Tobias?
B: Oh crap, I totally forgot. I promised to accompany him to the substance abuse agency.
D: Hurry up then.
B: It’s really alright with you when I’m just leaving now?
D: Sure, I think it’s great when you get through it together.
B: Thanks.

R: Goodbye.
W: Goodbye.
R: Oh.
T: Hello there.
R: Alas, you’re just in time. The table wobbles.
T: Here, look, I brought you this. My parents don’t know where to put all the apples anymore.
R: So many of them, that’s very sweet.
T: And I also brought something from your mum.
R: My mum?
T: Mh. Here.
R: It’s the bride’s goblet. From my parents and my great-grandparents and..
T: And the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents and all the ancestors we’ve got.
Your mum told me the whole story.
Hey, you don’t have to cry. First of all, we have to polish it, that’s very important. And you’re not allowed to do it by yourself, it has to be someone who knows how to do it. That’s part of the great sacrosanct ceremony.
R: I will. Do you know what it means?
T: You and Paul will only become happy if you drink together out of this?
R: That’s how the legend tells. But most of all it means that they accepted Paul as their son-in-law.
T: As long as he doesn’t screw up.
R: He surely won’t. Did they say something else?
T: Well, only that they’re looking forward to a proper wedding.
R: Proper.
T: Yes, indeed.

II
T: When will the guests arrive?
R: In one hour.
T: And Paul really wants to pull this through? All Bavarian, the whole shebang?
P: He was against it at first, but now it’s alright.
T: Will you manage it all within the short time?
R: When everyone assists.
T: We’ll assist. I’ll ask the the fire department right now if we can borrow the beer benches and the party equipment. They would surely form a guard of honor, too.
R: Even if I’m not in the association?
T: It’s a point of honor.
R: I just got one more problem.
T: Well, like.. you don’t know where to get the right ring? A dirndl or shoes who don’t already pinch after ten minutes?
R: Well, I still need a best man.
T: That’s difficult of course, I mean, no one is coming to my mind spontaneously. It should be someone who you already know for a long time, someone you trust and who’s always honest with you and who also quite likes your man?
Sure?
R: Would you?
T: Of course.
R: Oh, thank you. I’m excited.

B: Tobi, let’s wait how costly the.. Right. The main thing is a beautiful wedding. Exactly. We’re still on for tonight? Great. See you later then.
C: You’ll marry?
B: Sure. I hope you’ll walk down the aisle with me. Don’t worry, it’s about someone else. The fire department is just going to help with their party.
C: And after that you’ll gamble with your boyfriend in a casino, huh? How could you get involved with this miserable loser again?
B: You can’t understand something like this.
C: Right, because you love him, huh?
B: Cheap mockery. And cynicism. That’s all you know. There are all happy couples around you who stick together. And what about you? You’re alone. Jealous. And embittered. One can feel very sorry for you.

II
T: Well, looks great, doesn’t it?
B: Don’t you think it looks like a photo wall?
T: Yes, it’s.. it’s totally hip. I got the things from Fabien and he said that we would get in like this.
Ti: Thank you for whispering, boys. Tom now fell asleep. And, what are you doing?
T: We’re pimping ourselves for Sensation Seekers.
Ti: No! It’s THE new club in Bad Tölz, the scullions already talked about it. But they didn’t get in.
B: Yeah, I think we won’t either with these tight trousers.
T: That’s skinny. People wear them like this now.
B: Darling, I know. And if you should be surprised by a flood, the trousers wouldn’t get wet at least.
T: Come on, tell us, do we look hip or do we look hip?
Ti: You look hip.
T: Thank you.
B: Right, nothing can go wrong anymore, I guess.
Both: Let’s go to Sensation Seekers!
Ti: The scullions said that it would be easier to get in with a woman.
No, I have to stay here and watch Tom.
T: Come on, you said he already dozed off long ago.
B: Besides, Romy is here.
Ti: Yes, and I’m anything but stylish.
B: Please.
T: Please.
B: Come with us.
Ti: No, I won’t go just to get you clowns in there.
T: Yes, but three clowns are better than two clowns. Besides, Boris said that you finally have to..
B: Hey.
Ti: What did Boris say?
T: Yeah, that.. you should.. go out again.
B: Well, that’s right, isn’t it?
Ti: Mrs. Sonnenbichler already said so, too.
T: Sooo.
B: I mean, do you really think Tom would want his mother to always sit alone at home with a bottle of wine..
Ti: Alright, I’ll go.
Both: Yes!
Ti: But, I have to dress hip at first and that could take some time.
T: Okay.

III
T: Servus.
P: Hey. Hey, wait a minute!
T: What is it? I’m really in a hurry.
P: Did you oversleep again, huh?
T: No, I was at the substance abuse agency.
P: Oh. If you need anything..
T: Everything is fine. It’s all mental and I know I’ll succeed this time.
P: I also think so.
T: Boris believes in me and that’s the biggest motivation someone can have.
P: You’ll just do it together, there’s no doubt about it.
T: Thanks.
P: Hey, another question. Is there someone in your family named Daniel? Great-granduncle, great-grandfather? Godfather?
T: Mh, no. Why?
P: Because of the mystery?
T: A mystery?
P: Yes, well. In the bride’s goblet from which Romy and I will drink soon, there was this mystery engraved very tiny. Denise decoded it and wrote it down.
T: Denise?
P: Yes. So it says: “Meridi”. The last letter of the first word is a bit scratched. Meridi, does it sound familiar?
T: Mh, no.
P: Okay. Furthermore “the southern cross”, which isn’t a constellation, I already know that at least.
But this Daniel.. who the hell is Daniel?
T: Have you looked up the internet already?
P: Yes, I researched, but nothing found.
T: What about Romy’s parents?
P: I called them, but they couldn’t help and thought it’s somehow weird.
T: Well, I have to go.
P: Hey, wait, you can’t just..
T: Yeah, why? Work comes first.
P: And what about the treasure?
T: Which treasure?
P: Well, Denise supposes it’s a treasure.
T: Denise?
P: What else could be the reason to engrave something this mysterious in the inside of a goblet?
And what is being buried? Huh?
T: No idea.
P: A treasure.
T: Show me.
P: I thought the work comes..

[lindor]

3053
I
B: No comment. And if you call again, you’ll have to deal with our lawyer.
Hey, do you wangle with this thing?
T: Who was it on the phone?
B: A journalist.
T: And what did he want?
B: A statement from my father. About the structural collapse of his hotel.
T: Again?
B: The former hotel manager incriminates dad all of sudden.
T: Because of the cheap construction material?
B: It’s total nonsense though.
What’s that ugly thing you got here? Are there dinosaurs on it?
T: That.. It just was the cheapest one and besides, it does what it’s supposed to do.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s very absurd that your father had a finger in the pie concerning the flub. Or do you think he would have inducted you into his sordid business?
B: The time the collapse happened, I was confided in all the business matters by my father. There wasn’t a single clue.
T: I still think it’s weird that you take sides with him.
B: What? No!

II
T: There!
P: Fortunately, you know the new temporary gardener.
T: Yes, Theo said we could have it all day.
P: If we wouldn’t have to work in the afternoon.
T: Or we’ll resign as rich men.
P: So, next stop: Rosskopf (a mountain). Who would have thought that Jessica could get it?
T: Why?
P: She once was at the Greek restaurant “Akropolis” in Krauting. She wanted to complain about her food and actually asked for Mr. Akropolis.
T: Wow.
P: Yeah.
T: I don’t know that much about mythology, but.. these centaurs are those figures consisting of half human and half animal.
P: Horses, Tobi. Horses.
T: Yes. But don’t they have a torso like a horse and not a head?
P: Jessica.
T: We can spare the “Rosskopf”.
P: And what are we doing now?
T: Continue to rack our brains.
Al: Good morning, gentlemen.
P: The southern cross. Good morning. It lies buried, only Daniel can tell more.
T: Daniel.
Al: Daniel? Are you also now interested in Grubinger Daniel?
P: Daniel who?
Al: Grubinger, the poacher. Ms. Bronckhorst already questioned me about him yesterday.

III
A: Have you seen this?
B: Yeah, I already read it.
A: Therefore, the former top comfort manager Donald Sinclair heavily incriminates Christoph Saalfeld. The question arises how the security standards look like in the other hotels of the multimillionaire. The smear campaign has begun.
B: My advice: Don’t react to it and sit it out. Don’t feed the rumors.
A: We’re going to do the opposite. Yesterday, I thought about how to go against it in the best way.
I favor full transparency.
B: What?
A: A press conference. This afternoon. He’ll answer all the questions and clarifies like this that he had absolutely nothing to do with the collapse.
B: Do you really think it’s a good idea to order just more press into the house?
A: We must confront the matter aggressively, to take it in a different direction.
B: And what does dad think about it?
A: He agrees with me. He wanted a PR strategy from me.
B: And what else is part of your strategy? Apart from the conference.
That’s all?
A: Of course not. It’s just the first part.
B: And what about the other parts?
A: Just let me do it.
B: Yes, I will.
A: But you’re going to help me. You’re going to coordinate everything.
B: I’m supposed to help you? In return for your success to chase Tobias into gambling again?
A: My god, Boris. How long are you planning to reproach me with this? Do I always reproach you that you shaved off the hair of my favorite puppy back then? It’s about business here. You’re simply the manager.
B: It’s not about the “Fürstenhof”.
A: But it’s about dad. And this old chunk also belongs to him. So just kindly act professionally.
B: I’m going for a run right now.

IV
Al: So, right here.. is the wayside cross of Grubinger.
T: Okay, very good.
P: Did Jessica maybe say when she wanted to go there?
Al: At the next opportunity, when she would hike again. It was weird anyway. It was somehow very important to her at first and then it wasn’t anymore and.. But why are you now interested in Grubinger?
Both: Well..
P: The guests often ask me about new hiking routes and when I can tell a story of a local hero then..
T: And I have always been interested in native stories.
Al: So Ms. Bronckhorst could come along with you.
P: Yes, maybe.
T: We’ll ask her sometime.
Al: All right, enjoy the hike then.
P: Thank you very much, Mr. Sonnenbichler.
What a scheming piece.
T: She wants to steal our treasure.
P: Yes, it seems like this.
T: But we’re going to catch up with her. We should be faster than a pregnant woman.
P: Much faster.
T: Come on, go, go, go!
V
D: Final spurt?
B: I’m not in the mood today.
D: Well, me neither. A pause?
B: Pause sounds good. I’m so unmotivated.
D: No wonder, is it? Xenia came to me yesterday. And wanted to tell me about the thing with Bangkok.
B: She’s trying to destroy dad at all costs.
D: I don’t want to get involved.
B: You wish. They both are simply our parents.
D: Well, I barely know Xenia. The crazy thing is that I desperately wish to establish a relationship with her. And it’s great that she’s here now.
B: But?
D: I then get the feeling again that she only cares about herself. Don’t you think so, too?
B: I missed mum so much all the years. I was just so glad that she came out of nowhere. Because of me, in the hospital. She stood by my side. When I came out, when I got blackmailed. She defended me in front of dad.
D: I could be wrong.
B: It’s not easy to be apart from your own mother for so long. But you’ll find a way, I’m sure about that.
D: That would be nice.
B: Even if I sometimes think it would have been the best if she didn’t show up at all. For her sake. Anyways, it wouldn’t have changed dad’s grotty character either.
D: Although, you would have every reason for not pleasing dad anymore.
B: I know. He doesn’t deserve me being loyal. But, it doesn’t matter how much I fight against it.. he’s my father.
D: Whom you love.
Final spurt? Come on.

VI
C: Busy leisure time?
B: I want to be able to run away if everything collapses.
C: It was you who helped Xenia to reach this dubious Donald Sinclair, am I right?
B: What?
C: You threatened me back then to pass information and names. You blackmailed me.
B: I didn’t help mum.
C: You joined forces with her. For revenge. Because I tried to save you from this gambling faggot.
B: I could have done it, but I didn’t!
C: Admit it at least. Be a man once in a lifetime.
B: You brought this scandal onto yourself. Stop to pull the family in this. Leave us out of it.
C: Us? Who’s that, us? You, my dear, don’t belong to it anymore for a long time. You only cause trouble.
B: You almost casted everyone out. Viktor, Alicia. Denise also wants to leave already. Me too. You’re destroying the whole family and don’t even recognize it.
C: Just leave then. I wished you would have never been born.

VII
B: I organized everything. In the blue saloon. Well, coffee, water. Finger food. How many journalists are coming? Fine. No, I won’t do anything more. That’s your problem, Annabelle!
X: What’s wrong?
B: Nothing.
X: What’s the matter, Boris?
B: Leave me alone. I really am sick to the back teeth of both of you at the moment.
X: Let me apologize. Denise said something similar to me yesterday. Maybe not this brute. Do I pull you too much in my fight with Christoph?
B: It isn’t a fight anymore. You sneaked off to Thailand just to set him up for something. You’re obsessed with revenge.
X: Boris, you didn’t have to go through what I suffered because of your father.
B: You have no idea. I have to suffer a lot because of him.
X: What do you mean? Did he insult you again?
B: I just want to have some peace and quiet.
X: Something did happen, I can feel it. You’ll tell me now.

VIII
P: How deep can we go? We’re already digging for ages.
T: We’re not that deep yet.
P: How far do we want to go? Till the underground water?
T: You don’t bury a treasure directly under the surface after all.
P: We have to hurry up. Before Jessica arrives.
T: Why?
P: Well, she surely wants to have a share of the treasure.
T: On what grounds?
P: And Romy’s parents surely want to have something, too.
T: Yeah, because the goblet belongs to them.
P: And Mr. Sonnenbichler for his great lead.
T: As for me, they all can have a share. Except the Bronckhorst. She tricked us.
P: And what if she sells us out? Hm?
T: To who?
P: Ms. Bronckhorst is part of the local council for example.
T: So what?
P: Well, we’re here on the property of the commune. Which means that the half of our find belongs to them.
T: We should hurry up then to find it before she arrives.
P: That’s what I’m saying.
Hey, don’t take a break. Come on.
T: What is.. I mean, if the mountain.. if Mohammed goes to the mountain. And.. so we must put the mountain.. away.
P: Doesn’t the saying sound differently actually?
T: It sounds like that. A real Ehrlinger. We just move the wayside cross. So she will come, she will dig at the wrong place and we can calmly keep going here, hm?
Am I a genius or a genius?
P: A genius.
T: Typical Ehrlinger.


IX
X: He really said that to you? He’s not a human anymore. And not a father at all.
B: He’ll always be my father.
X: Not lather than now you should realize that he doesn’t love you., Boris. On the contrary, if he wishes that you would have never been born. Boris, I could deal a first sensitive blow to him with the matter in Bangkok.
B: That means you want to top it?
X: So that he won’t be able to recover from it right away.
B: And how?
X: You must have recognized something back then as the manager. Something about the collapse we could use to accuse him now.
B: Either he kept it from me or he isn’t involved with it after all.
X: But I have the statement of the manager.
B: Which will stay nothing more than statement by the end of the day.
X: Fine. If we can’t prove this, we must plant something on him. And I need you for that. This is our chance to finally stop Christoph. We’ll do this. Together.

[lindor]

3054
I
X: You’ll have to say something sometime.
B: But not to the fight between you and dad. I don’t want to get involved at all.
X: I think your attitude is great. Admirable.
B: But?
X: Your father is taunting you. Tells you such painful things like you should have never been born. You’re trying to stay decent, but believe me, you won’t effect something about Christoph like this.
B: But I won’t work with his schemes.
X: If you’re not doing it for you, at least do it for Tobias. You love him, right? Christoph will never stop trying to split you up. Who knows what he will do next to the poor guy. I’m so glad, Boris, that you finally stand for yourself. Now, don’t let it get destroyed by your father again. How long are you planning to be humiliated by him? Just because you’re gay? He will never accept who you are. Never. And you know that. This is your opportunity now to finally stand up against your father and to protect your love.
B: How can I help you?
X: Either we’ll find evidence that Christoph was part of the flub, or we’ll invent a new scandal. You really didn’t notice anything back then? Fine, we’ll think about something new then. We’ll find something together.

II
T: Looks nice, like it was always its place here.
P: Hopefully, Jessica will fall for this.
T: We’ll know soon.
P: Fast, fast, fast.
T: She fell for it.
P: Oh man, how mean.
T: She tricked us first.
P: I just hope she won’t overextend herself.
T: Tell her. I mean, no one is forcing her to dig.
P: Not a chance, she’s always doing the opposite of what I tell her.
T: We’ll stick around and we can look for her occasionally.

III
X: If we find similar suspicious facts concerning the renovation of the riding establishment..
B: ..They will believe that he worked with the same illegal instruments in Bangkok.
X: Right, but there’s nothing in here. Everything is clean, regular and completely legal.
B: He’s not stupid. If dad cheats, he would do it in a way so that we won’t notice.
X: Do you wanna give up?
B: We definitely won’t get on like this, everything in here is alright. Besides, Denise and the architect are proving everything one more time.
Here, something came in today.
X: What is it?
B: It’s the statical report about the interior fittings of the stud. The structural engineer says that the stability of the house is endangered because of the gutting. It needs a ring armature to stabilize. They’re damn expensive.
X: Christoph would surely want to save the money.
B: I don’t know. He hasn’t seen the report yet. Neither did Denise. I’m the only one who read it.
X: So we could claim that he knew about that and that he wanted to let it go by the board? A genius idea. Do you think your father would hesitate even one second if he was in your place right now? So we’ll pull this through now. We’ll say that he wanted to search another structural engineer. Someone who is on his payroll.
B: He would give the project a certificate of non-objection.
X: Christoph would endanger the safety of his guests in the riding establishment by that. Just like in Bangkok. If you tell this on the press conference later, Christoph will be screwed.


IV
Is there something? Yes, yes. Yes, yes, now.
P: That’s a real sweetie.
T: Doesn’t matter. Come on, let’s continue.
P: So that we can dig out the other one?
T: Very funny.
P: Man, let it rest. There’s no use.
T: Yes, but the wayside cross was here. We.. We just have to stretch the hole a bit more.
P: Yeah, define the stretching. There’s no treasure here. Unless this thing is magical and fills itself with gold every morning.
T: You’re giving up then?
P: Do you want to continue?
T: Naw. Man, that was a big washout. No treasure, just blisters.
P: Aw, you firefighters are real sissies. Consider it as a workout. And nature’s urine helps against the blisters. Well, urea.
T: Genius.
P: Yes, a real Lindbergh.

V
T: You’re not serious now, are you?
B: Why not?
T: What you and your mum are planning to do is so mean. You don’t really want that.
B: I always was loyal towards him. And what for? My father hates me. And especially you. Shall we put up with it again and again?
T: I’m not a fan of him either. But if you claim now that your father let a report go by the board he didn’t even know about, you’re not better than him.
B: He just has to be hoisted by his own petards.
T: Did your mum talk you up to it?
B: Not at all.
T: And now you just want to get in between the fronts?
B: I finally must defend myself. Otherwise, the permanent baiting of dad will never stop.
T: I can live with that. Anyway, it’s better than you becoming like your parents.
B: Don’t you think my father deserves a shot across the bows?
T: I do. But not like this. The man I fell in love with isn’t like that.
B: But?
T: Honest. Wholehearted and straight ahead.
B: And that’s why he’s always dominated. And I’m not in the mood for that anymore. I have to get to the press conference now.


VI
A: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to “Fürstenhof”. I’m glad that all of you are here. Mr. Saalfeld is going to take a stand concerning the accusations about his hotel in Bangkok. First of all, he’s going to give a statement and after that he’ll be fully dedicate himself to your questions. Thank you.
C: Well, first of all I would like to thank you for giving me the chance to speak out and to unearth the truth. And to prevent further speculations, I’ll openly put my cards on the table. Yes, it’s true. The supreme floor of my hotel in Bangkok collapsed because of the use of cheap building materials. It’s more than tragical. And I immediately went there to help the victims locally in an unbureaucratic way and to terminate the responsible manager Donald Sinclair without notice. My only explanation for his statement under oath is the fact that he wants to seek revenge for this dismissal. I wasn’t involved in the construction work of the hotel at any point. Ladies and gentlemen, my motto is: Not a single big saving can outweigh lost confidence. Whether a low-budget or a five-star hotel, the most important thing for me is always the safety of my guests.
X: Don’t believe a word of him.

VII
X: Our manager Boris Saalfeld is going to say something. You can form an opinion about it then.
C: You can’t just show up here and accuse me of lying.
A: Please go. What you’re doing here, is damaging for all of us. Boris, what are you doing?
C: What are you up to, Boris?
B: I’m the manager of “Fürstenhof” and familiar to the business of my father. Also concerning the hotels of the top comfort chain.
J: So what?
X: What about the construction work of the planned riding establishment?
B: After all I know.. it’s exactly like my father just presented it. I have no clue that my father would have acted wrong in a single way concerning the accident in Bangkok. Neither locally nor at “Fürstenhof” nor elsewhere. Thank you.

VIII
B : Have you seen her face? My mother was so angry, she wanted to kill me.
T: But you did the right thing.
B: My father complimented me.
T: Well, not long ago, you would have given your left arm for this. He looked very troubled. I think he’s actually innocent. At least this time. And you proved that you do what you think is right.
B: Thank you. I mean, without you.. If you hadn’t showed up.. You prevented me from a huge mistake.

IX
X : Oh god.
C : Come on, Xenia. Open up.
X: What do you want?
C: That you’re now trying to pull Boris into your intrigue, your own son. You really sank low.
X: Says the man who wants to destroy his luck?
C: He took sides with me though. By the way, I just got informed that the prosecutor in Thailand won’t press any charges against me.
X: Why not?
C: Because your formidable witness for the prosecution disappeared. And there won’t be an action without him. You should better consider next time who you take on.
X: Oh, Christoph, you threatened me so many times, the effect slowly fades away. And now kindly leave my room!

X
X : How could you dare to stab me in the back like this? You completely embarrassed me.
B: You did that on your own.
X: We had an agreement.
B: You pushed me to something I didn’t want to do.
X: Well, you sounded differently just a few hours ago.
B: Basically, I think it’s right to oppose to dad. But not like this. If I fight against him, I’ll do it with my scheme and not yours.
X: You buckled in front of your father.
B: I buckled in front of you as I engaged to your intrigue.
X: I wanted to help you. You and Tobias.
B: Yeah, totally selfless. Of course.
X: No, but we had common interests which we wanted to pull through together. Now you’re dad’s well-behaved junior again who’s waiting with puppy dog eyes to get a treat from him, but instead is beaten up!
B: It’s enough! I won’t get used anymore. Neither of you or dad.
X: Do you think I would ever rely on you again after this story today?
B: Fair enough, we’re settled then. You don’t want anything from me anymore and I don’t want anything anymore from you. May I continue working now?

T : Oh god.
P : Sore muscles ?
T : Yes, and blisters on my hands. You have nothing?
P: Naw, if the drudgery is good for something, then for this purpose.
T: Your ex-girlfriend found this truffle at least.
P: That would have been a small amount for us at least.
T: What are we going to do now? Continue searching?
P: No idea. Will we continue searching?
T: Well, to be honest, I don’t think we could find something there. I mean, the goblet is age-old and so is the inscription.
P: And even if the treasure existed, who would guarantee us that no one else already dug it out.
T: Exactly. So we’ll let it rest?
P: It doesn’t make any sense after all. But it was fun anyway.

P: That’s awesome. Okay. Yeah, it looks a bit difficult concerning the time. Fine. Thanks anyway.
B: Bad news?
P: I got a wildcard for the triathlon in Barcelona.
B: Wow.
P: Yeah. If I reached a good position there, it would qualify me for other triathlons.
B: So what is the problem?
P: It’s next week.
B: Your wedding.
P: Right, plus the honeymoon.
B: Where will you be?
P: In the Bavarian Forest.
B: In the Bavarian..
P: It’s supposed to be beautiful.
B: Yes. But right. The wedding is expensive enough.
P: That, too. And Romy’s parents were already there and her grand-parents and because they still have such a good marriage.. she’s superstitious.
B: I get it, happy omen and so on. Well, so no Barcelona then.
P: Maybe, however. I’ll manage it.
B: So tell me now, what are you planning?
P: Just wait for it, okay? Hey, my darling. I got news. I just spoke to grandma and she’s so sad she can’t come to our wedding. That’s why she wants to gift us something big.
R: But she already gifted me the earrings.
P: Which you don’t want to wear, because pearls look like tears and that’s totally okay with her. But she wants to gift us.. hold on.. a honeymoon to.. drumroll.. Barcelona. To Spain, to the sea. Yes, I know we agreed to the Bavarian Forest..
R: Ah, rubbish. Who wants to go to the Bavarian Forest if you can go to Barcelona?
P: Yes, right?
R: And I’m not all that superstitious.
Where does she have all the money from? I thought she hasn’t that much.
B: I indeed would want to know that, too.
P: Right, it.. Very simple. From the “Wild Deer”.
B & R: From what?
P: The “Wild Deer”, it’s a restaurant near us in the Danube Valley. And the cook always wanted the recipe for her special cheese dumplings.
B: Cheese dumplings.
P: She sold it to him now.
R: Really?
P: Yes.
R: And she doesn’t want to keep it for herself? The money?
P: There’s enough left for her. She said to me: Pauli, I won’t accept a no.
R: Well then. Barcelona, we’re coming.
P: We’re coming.
R: I have to go. Bye.
P: Sure. And I still have to..
B: Well, I’m already excited how you’ll explain to her that you have to participate at a triathlon all of sudden instead of lying on the beach with her.
P: Bobo, where is your creativity?
B: Especially, because you must take your bike with you.
Tobi, there is something wrong with the revolving door.

II
R: So?
T: Mhm. Very chic.
R: Wait, that’s all? It was ridiculously expensive.
T: Well, you seem to have it.
R: It was on sale. Now tell me.
T: You’ll be the prettiest woman on the beach.
R: That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. And look, I bought that for Paul.
T: Well, so nothing can go wrong anymore. But really, that it was you of all people breaking the family traditions.
R: Someone has to be the first. To bring fresh wind into it.
T (Bavarian accent): But tho’ the Bavarian Forest always brought us such a luck.
R: You’re making fun of me.
T: Not at all. I’m even grateful to you.
R: Hm?
T: Well, Boris and I don’t have to go there either.
R: My pleasure. Is it that time already?
T: Well, I mean, if.. if it was that time.
R: Barcelona Triathlon. Easy application. Do you know about this?

B: So, I’m outside now. What now?
T: Turn around.
B: Hey. What’s your plan?
T: Kidnapping you.
B: Will we drive go-carts?
T: No. Much better. Come with me.
Ta-da!
B: Where did you get this one from?
T: That’s the loyal Trudi, the pride of my father and since they’re doing a cruise right now, we can borrow it.
B: To do what exactly?
T: Well, mowing the lawn. We’ll make a trip. The both of us, to be one with the street. Nuzzling into the bends, against the wind.. hm?
B: Now?
T: Yes, sure. I’ m free the afternoon and you don’t have important appointments, right?
B: No, but I’ve got a bunch of stuff lying on the desk. I can’t just leave spontaneously right now.
T: Well, if an employee wants to have free time, he’ll come to you and you’ll allow it.
B: Right, but..
T: Soo, you’re now going to ask yourself for a free afternoon and you’ll allow it then.
You’re afraid.
B: Tz, rubbish.
T: You are.
B: Do you even have a license for this thing?
T: What a stupid question is that, huh? Come on, I won’t rush.
Hold on tight, Mr. Saalfeld.


II
B: Great picnic. And?
T: Sold out.
B: All three concerts? I didn’t know “The Breznsoizer” are so in demand.
T: “Brezensalzer”.
B: “Brezensalzer”.
T: Well, it would have been too good to be true.
B: Hey, you made me a motorbike fan instead.
T: Oh, and you think that’s better for me in the long term than a concert of my favorite band?
The filling station in Krauting is on fire.
B: I write them that we’ll soon be there. We need at least 20 minutes.
T: I’ll need ten. Grab it all.
Come on, Trudi, don‘t let me down now please.
B: You’re not serious now, are you?
T: Alright, come on. Come on, Trudi! Damn.

III
T: I’ll try now to kickstart the machine with all of my power and if it doesn’t work, we’ll have to push it in second or third gear.
B: Yeah, and how long does it take?
T: Until the dirt is out of the cylinders, but it’s the last chance.
B: Maybe it isn’t. Stop. Dad, hold on for a second, please. Can you take us, please?
C: Keep driving.
B: Hey, hey! We got a mission!
T: Come on, forget him. You better help me.

IV
C: You can compose your personal hiking route at the reception.
W: Thank you.
C: You’re welcome.
B: Thankfully, the colleagues got help from Bad Tölz.
T: I could strangle him.
B: I know, but that’s not worth it. I’ll hurry up with the call-back, okay? Won’t take longer than 10 minutes.
T: Yeah.
B: Can I leave you alone for so long?
T: I’ll wait well-behaved in the corner there.
C: Mr. Ehrlinger, already back again?
T: Yes, as you see.
C: Did you have a nice afternoon?
T: It was wonderful, we had a very romantic picnic.
C: I hope the little breakdown of the scrap heap you’re driving didn’t spoil your mood so much.
T: What you did is called failure to render assistance. It can be prosecuted criminally.
C: Oh God, no. Your motorbike didn’t start, don’t overexaggerate.
T: We asked you to take us and we had to go to a mission.
C: Oh, really? I didn’t hear that.
T: The filling station in Krauting was on fire. Do you know what this means?
C: Did you make it to the mission after all?
T: No, thanks to you.
C: And the filling station exploded, huh?
T: The colleagues could just control the fire, but..
C: But what?
T: If the fire flashes over to the fuel dispensers.. It’s about human life!
C: Sweet.
T: You don’t care at all, do you?
C: You’re so hysterical. Is it normal with you (plural)? So? So, you little human life saver. Boris will soon notice that you’re a wimp.
B: Tobias!




Sorry, there's a lot of action now for the boys, but I had guests tonight and I have to work tomorrow.
