Am I interrupting?
Daddy
I was just explaining to Vanessa a few hairy aspects of tax law
I should hope so
How did you know I was here?
I had no idea. I'm supposed to meet Carla here.
Well, it's time that I take off. See you tomorrow.
== See you == Bye
Well, you couldn't tear yourself away tonight
Tell me, is it on account of you that he's in such a bad mood?
No, why would that be?
Well, I just mean, somebody who's happily engaged looks different, don't you think?
Yes, you've got that right
== I have to go, see you, bye. == All right, ciao.
Lars was just giving me some private coaching. You should like that, after the way I bungled the last exam.
Well then...
Why don't you talk instead. How was your first day at work?
Yeah...
== Yes? == A double brandy, please.
Oh... that good?
That Ansgar should be grateful to you instead
After all, Nico was mainly ranting about HIM in the interview, and you prevented that from going public
Exactly
How come they still don't trust you then?
I have your Felix to thank for all of this
He's not 'my' Felix
All right, fine
But it was because of his smear campaign against me that I got such a lousy position
Can't Carla do anything for you?
I'm about to meet with her, and I'm going to talk to her about it again
Then I don't want to bother you guys
Will you pay for ours too?
What, for... for Mr. Schneider too?!
You're the best daddy in the world!
Say hi to Carla, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, that she can change her stupid brother's mind. Bye!
Florian, don't ask so many questions, just make sure your place is ready for a toddler!
No, I haven't
NO, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise anymore!
You know you can rely on me
Hello
Listen, I uhm... I gotta go, I'll call you later then, all right?
== Ciao! == Hello, sweetie-pie.
== Hello == Hello
You can just leave all of that right on
== Why? I'm not going back out tonight. == Oh yes you are, you're going back out, you have to go to the airport.
Oh, are you flying somewhere? Was I taking you there?
No, YOU'RE flying somewhere. More specifically... both of you!
Uh...uh...I don't understand...
Here
== What am I supposed to do with this? == Fly to 'bella italia'.
Yes, Florian is picking you up at the airport in Milan, and then you'll have two days and two nights just for the three of you
Oh, what have you guys been plotting?!
Oh, it was my idea. And Florian is thrilled as can be.
Oh no, Hanna, I can't accept this, it's--
Yes, yes, you can! I bought it online and it wasn't expensive at all. So!
== Uhm == Oh, right!...
== So then, uhm... == So, here...
Yeah
== Okay, Hanna, then... == Yes
== I wish you a nice... == Yes
... a nice weekend with your 'affair'
What do you mean by that?
Mhm... maybe you'd like to tell me about it sometime
== Yeah, maybe... But now, off you go, otherwise you'll miss your flight. == Right.
== Uh...Hanna...Hanna. == Bye!... Yes?
== Thank you! == You're welcome!
Here we go
Yess!
Oh, I see you survived your first day
Uh...I hope I didn't rub you the wrong way earlier?
Not in the least
Well, you see, the operations and organization of the Holding are...
...to a newcomer perhaps not that discernible at first glance
I think you vastly underestimate me
I'm afraid I actually have a very realistic picture of your capabilities, but...
... could it perhaps be that you vastly... OVERestimate yourself??
If I were you, I wouldn't bet on that. Others have already made that mistake - and then been MIGHTILY surprised.
Hanna! Hello, it's me.
I just wanted to ask if I should bring anything, something to eat?
Wine or champagne?
No, that isn't necessary, I have everything here. Just get yourself over here to me FAST, all right?
This was really such a sweet idea you had - a whole night, just for us. I'll be on my way very soon.
I'm looking forward to seeing you
== I have to go. See you soon. == Ciao
Hello
Bernd is my name, in case you've forgotten
What is wrong with you??
Nothing, everything's swell
How would you feel if you'd sat in Schneiders conversing with a chair for an hour?
Oh! I completely forgot we had plans to meet. I'm sorry.
Tell me, what is it with you guys? Did you have a family powwow, and decide - "Ach, let's all just ignore Bernd"?
I understand your being testy
'Testy'? That doesn't exactly cover it. 'Livid' is more like it.
Your brother dupes me, you forget me...
I'm sure the thing with Ansgar will resolve itself on its own. You guys just got off to a bad start.
Thank you for your sympathy
Couldn't you try ironing out your differences with my brother by yourself for a change?!
Because I have plans
How nice for you
So how did Mr. von Beyenbach's first day go?
He'd barely been in the same building with Sylvia Jones for ten minutes, and they were already locking horns
That was totally predictable, Ansgar!
Yeah, I just hope it isn't going to continue like that
To some degree at least, I've gotten used to Ms. Jones. Even if I'm sure we aren't going to become friends.
But?
Well, I confess, I'm somewhat surprised
She's a savvy businesswoman. And above all, she sticks to our agreements...
... which can't be said about Mr. von Beyenbach
You'll make it clear to him who the head honcho is
I tell you, the man is totally unpredictable
I'm not necessarily all that thrilled about my future son-in-law, either
However, we have to respect Carla's choice
Well, in any event, we can't rely on the fact that he'll always act in the best interest of our company
I should have put him somewhere where he can't do any damage
You chose this position for him, so I'm taking that to mean you'll get him under control
Von Beyenbach
Oh, Mr. Antonov! Sorry, we were going to call you.
Uhm, yes, right, about tonight. No, we didn't forget, of course not!
Yeah good, till later then. We're looking forward to it! Goodbye.
Carla?
We... have a problem
What is it?
You remember that Boris Antonov, the jeweler from Moscow, right? The expert who evaluated that diamond necklace for you.
Yes, and?
Remember? I told you he was planning to come to Germany.
Yeah, and what's the problem?
We have a date for dinner with him
When?
In a half hour, in Schneiders
You aren't being serious
It slipped my mind
How could you forget such an important date?!
Oh right, leave ME sitting in Schneiders for hours, that's okay. But should I happen to forget something...!
Oh all right. Sorry.
But then you can just go alone
That won't cut it
Antonov was already severely disappointed that you weren't in Moscow. He wants to meet you, badly.
Nonetheless, he's going to have to content himself with you
But I accepted for both of us
After all, you're the one who wants to build a long-term business relationship with him
Hanna moved heaven and earth so that we could have ONE whole evening for ourselves
I can't possibly cancel
Carla, that is not fair!
I'm constantly shielding you and your secretive little games from your family...
... now I'm taking care of your business too! What comes next??
So...
Hello, Hanna? Are you not there?
I'm so terribly sorry, but a very important meeting came up at the last minute
Unfortunately, I have to cancel our dinner. I feel terrible about it, I'm sorry!
Please don't be mad at me, all right? I'll call again later.
I love you
You should have seen your brother, he was treating me like one of his butlers!
Well this Russian businessman sure is taking his sweet time getting here. I thought this meeting was important?!
Oh well, I'm sure he'll be here soon, hm? That's how they are, the Russians.
You want something else to drink?
The two are really a lovely couple, don't you think?
Oh, sorry, Lars, I didn't mean to...
It's okay, I'm dealing with it
Of course I know Ansgar is just trying to rile me. But he's not going to get rid of me that easily!
Bernd, as sorry as it makes me, I really can't do anything for you about it!
Ansgar makes all decisions that affect the Lahnstein Bank
It was difficult enough, as it was, to convince him to give you a spot there
So, if the fine gentleman isn't here in ten minutes, I'm leaving
What would be so bad? Then we'll just spend a nice evening together, hm?
Aha! All at once this meeting isn't so important to you, is that it??
No, it is, of course
'Russian businessman'. And I even fell for it!
Thank you, Angelo
Bernd, you can't do this! Why are you screwing up my evening? That is really low!
Despite the uniqueness of our relationship, you shouldn't neglect your fiance like this
You drove me to tell that little lie!
Why don't you simply ask if we can spend the evening together?!
You'd already made other plans
Bernd, as much as I like you, we don't have to spend every free minute with each other
We aren't married!
Hey, that is not MY fault!
We have a deal
Yes, we have a deal!
I'll see you tomorrow
Sweetie, there's a good story about Huub van Gestel that I want to tell you. Will you come with me for a minute?
Aha
Well, same old, same old?
Yep, same old, same old
I read a book by Hemingway recently: "Men without Women"
I don't need to read it, I know how it is
It didn't help me either
Oh, as long as we're talking about Hemingway - daiquiri?
Sounds like a better idea
Yes?
Hi, Isabell
Oh, well that's nice
No, you aren't bothering me at all. I was just sort of thinking about things.
And, so how is it in Milan?
Great
Well, I told you it was nice!
Yes, of course I'll come visit you
Hm, why? Oops!!
Ohhh! Sorry, I just dropped a plate.
Listen, I'll call you later, okay?
Yeah, I will, ciao
Hoh, man, shoot!
Hi!
Hello
I thought...
What happened with your appointment?
Oh, I can explain it all to you. But not here in the hallway.
Come in!
I was just going to clear it away
What happened with your appointment?
Oh, it was all just... Potemkin villages
Aha! But I hope you aren't expecting me to understand that?
Nervous?
Yeah, I'm practicing a little for our wedding night
I'm so happy to see you!
Hey... wouldn't you like to show me?
Sure
Well, Bernd von Beyenbach is a real piece of work
And he's probably even proud of his inspired idea too
But we're already having to be so careful about your family...
... we don't actually need Bernd von Beyenbach
Oh, if not for Bernd, we wouldn't be able to meet at all
We have a reciprocal agreement
I get him a job and he covers my back
Yeah, it appears that isn't enough for him though
Hanna, I really was not wanting to talk about... MEN right now
Sorry
== You want some more? == Oh, I can't anymore.
But the quiche was really exquisite-é
I'm stuffed too-é
Would you like something else?
Mhm, all kinds of things!
Hmm, we can do that later
Are your feet still cold?
No
== Rrreally no? == Non, non.
But take a look if you don't believe me
Oh là là!
Oh!
== I... == Yes, what is it?
Mr. Fiance. Already up?
I could ask you the same thing
Is Carla available?
No. That is, yes, but...
Well what then? Could you be a little more specific?
She went into the city with her fencing coach to check out her new gear
Strange. As far as I know, her fencing coach is attending advanced training in Provence.
Yeah, what do I know? It's not like I'm Carla's appointment calendar!
Is it perhaps possible that my sister is keeping secrets from her fiance?
I don't know how that would concern you. Why don't you just take care of your own business?
Oh. The Lahnsteins ARE my business.
Yeah, but not what goes on between me and Carla, right?!
Well, however that may be,... on the chance you should in fact see Carla in the near future...
... please tell her I'd like to speak with her
I'll be available in my office
