[woman] We're on an island.
There's a storm.
The wind is blowing sand and dust in our eyes.
[waves gently crashing]
I can't see her clearly.
It's like I forgot my contact lenses.
Her body's small.
Her skin's beautiful. Darker than mine.
[waves gently crashing]
Her feet touch the ground for a brief moment,
then she runs away.
She gives me a questioning look.
Her face is blurry.
I recognize her from her body language. It's like his.
I try to call for her, but I can't remember her name.
That's how it is in dreams. Everything changes without any logic.
We accept that in dreams.
We're helpless, so we do what we're told.
[waves gently crashing]
[phone rings in the distance]
[doctor] The fertilized egg is implanted perfectly…
[inhales deeply]
…but, unfortunately, there's no heartbeat anymore.
-You see? -[woman] I knew it.
I didn't feel anything the past few days.
The embryo's just four millimeters at this stage.
That means it's not really likely that you would physically feel something.
-Well, I thought I felt something before. -Here.
It's very likely there'll be a spontaneous abortion
at this early stage.
So no scraping this time.
I'm really sorry I don't have better news for you today.
-[man] It's not your fault. -[doctor] Please, follow me this way.
Yes, and, uh, there will also be a huge psychological impact
because of the hormonal treatment.
Don't underestimate that.
I'm okay.
[doctor] Your body just needs to get some rest.
[sighs]
[clock ticking]
May I suggest something?
After the fourth attempt, I always advise the couples
to consider taking a step back
and rethinking the plans they've got for their lives.
You do know that any other attempts after the fourth
aren't supported by the public health system, right?
[woman] Mm-hmm.
[man softly grunts]
Maybe you could take this chance to do something nice together.
Maybe go on a nice vacation.
[office assistant] A contribution of 954 as a previous IVF patient,
plus 50 for consultation, plus 250 for semen preservation and storage.
That's 1,254 euros.
[device beeps]
Nope, I guess it didn't work.
Alice, can you use…
No, it's over my limit. Can we transfer it?
Yes, of course. I'll print out the invoice.

[distant horn honks]
Make a right. That's the turn to the ferry.
[Alice] Really?
I, uh…
[man] Right, here.
[radio presenter speaking in Italian]
Yeah. It's gotta be this one.
No, it's the next one.
There was… There was a sign with a ship on it.
-[horn honks] -You missed it.
[Alice] What? But the sign just said "porto."
[man] "Porto" means harbor.
[Alice] Oh.
[horn honks]
-Shit, I'm not wearing my contacts. -[horn honks]
-[turn signal clicking] -Do you want to drive?
[man] Should I?
[people chattering]
-The ticket counter's somewhere different. -Okay.
[birds squawking]
Do we still have the tent, babe?
Did you just throw it away?
During the move.
[ship horn blares]
It was broken anyway.

[cell phone ringing]
It's Janaceck.
[continues ringing]
Hi, Mr. Janaceck. Yeah?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Um…
But, um… It's, uh…
It's waterproof, right?
-[breeze blowing] -[birds squawking and chirping]
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Then, um…
all we can do is wait. Mm-hmm.
Tomorrow is probably better. It's pouring in Vienna.
Yep. Thanks, though. Bye.
[sighs]
[inhales, sighs]
So I forgot to mention that this place is also an exposure therapy facility.
-We should ask if it's the right house. -[vehicle approaching]
-[car door opens] -[woman 2] That took a wee bit.
-It definitely is. -[man 2] It did.
[woman 2] Good we legged it with your car.
Otherwise we'd have had to charge it at every station.
[man 2] The lad's just gawking at his phone.
David, come on. Put the phone away and get out, you boyo. We're here.
[man 2] Oh, jeez, we brought so much stuff.
[faucet turns on]
-Thanks for helping. -[faucet turns off]
-[woman 2] Wow, that's an amazing house. -[man 2] Yeah?
[woman 2] Eh, look. A license plate from Vienna.
[man 2] They're everywhere.
[woman 2] Take a peek at this bathroom. I'll tell ya, it's fierce.
-[man 2] Yeah? Why so? -[woman 2] It's got this classic touch.
[man 2] Oh, yeah, yeah. Cool.
-Do you like it, Denise? -[Denise] Yeah!
[woman 2] That's the spirit.
-Can't wait to hit the beach! -So…
Now I want to get a bunch of carbs and olive oil and grappa.
[Denise giggling]
And we'll split dessert because you'll say you don't want any,
and then you'll eat the whole thing by yourself.
[woman 2] Denise, can you come here?
Hey…
Can we afford this?
Well, I think we can afford tiramisu.
I mean, the vacation.
[inhales] Don't worry about it. We both need this.
[man 2] Ah, it's beautiful. The whole nine yards.
-I'm off to the jacks. -[softly] Okay.
[woman 2] Wait, before you go, can you grab me my purse please?
[Denise] I'll grab it, Mommy.
I'll take a shower.
Mmm.
[chuckles]
What?
Am I eating too fast? [chuckles]
I'd say you're really enjoying the food. It's good.
My grandma used to say, "A man doesn't need a wife.
He only needs dessert."
Oh, boy, so you chose wrong.
I'm sure she'd change her mind.
If only she saw me with such a beautiful wife.
[Denise] Mommy, I can't asleep.
[woman 2] You have to keep it down, you little chiseler.
It's a wee before half-past ten.
You smell nice, like garlic.
-[Denise] Please, Mommy, come lullaby. -It keeps you young, you know. Mm.
My grandma used to eat a whole clove of garlic every single day.
[Denise] I want to be with you guys.
Mommy!
[woman 2] I can't even get a moment of peace at half-past ten.
-[chuckling] -No, little chiseler. Can't get a lully.
Not at half-past ten.
A man can't even have a drink at half-past ten. Not even then.
[man 2] Denise, enough with the drama.
-Always such a fuss. Hurry up. Get to bed. -[Denise] Daddy, I'm trying, but I can't.

[stops humming]

-[continues humming] -[door opens]
[Denise] Mommy, can I have ice cream?
-[woman 2] Not before lunch, sweetie. -[Denise] What time is lunch then?
[woman 2] It's only a wee past nine right now, honey.
[Denise continues humming]
[cell phone rings and vibrates]
-Mm. Mr. Janaceck, good morning. -[Janaceck] Good morning.
I was about to call you.
[Janaceck] Just following up on the renovations.
-Is the weather better today? -[Janaceck] Yeah.
[Alice] All right, then maybe in the afternoon.
-About the attic, yeah. -[Janaceck] The attic?
We can't use the attic in this condition, so it's useless to us right now.
[continues humming]
And that's, um, really inconvenient
because we have lots of material to store in there.
It would be really great if you could finish the walls in the attic
before we get back and… get the roof tiles in place, at least.
[Janaceck] We can come by later…
Can I have a bite? Hmm?
Yeah, sure.
-[Janaceck] Yeah, absolutely. -Yeah?
-[Janaceck] We could look at the attic. -Just the attic, they cost half as much.
[Janaceck] Okay, so… Okay, yeah, that sounds great.
-Just take the whole thing. My treat. -[Denise] Really?
-Yeah. -Wow, thanks!
[Janaceck continues indistinctly]
-No, he's still sleeping. -[woman 2] Sorry.
-Sorry to bother you, neighbor. -One second.
-Is this your croissant? -Oh, yeah, but no worries.
-Thank you. -[Alice] Yeah.
Very kind of you. Sorry for interrupting.
Yep. Uh, exactly. So I'll forward you the quote for the tiles,
so you have it in writing and everything's clean.
-Yeah. Maybe a bit later. -[man 2] Mommy has to do her bananayama.
-[woman 2] It's pranayama, you idiot. -[man 2] She has to do her bananarama.
-[Alice] Bye, now. -[sighs]
[man 2] Denise, come here. Leave Mommy alone. She's got to do her bananarama.
I think it's totally fine if we leave the attic unfinished for now.
[Denise] Mommy, when are we heading out?
Later on, we can build a nice large room up there.
-Lost of space, nice and open, hmm? -[Alice sighs]
At this point, all I want is to have a roof again.
-[man] Yeah? -[Denise] Daddy, what about you?
Can you finally go to the pool with me?
[man 2] We're going to the sea. We always go to the sea on the first day.
-[Denise] Why? -[man 2] Because that's just how it is.
Leave that for later. You can't concentrate here anyway.
[Denise] Can you blow up the cocodile?
[man 2] It's a crocodile, not a "cocodile."
-[woman 2] Crocodile, sweetheart. -Ah, the Viennese are up as well.
-[man] Morning. -Morning.
[Alice] Morning.
[Denise giggling and yelling playfully]
-[man 2] Christel, where's the pump? -[Christel] At home.
[man 2] Seriously? Who was in charge of packing it?
-[Christel] Well, it wasn't me. -Do I have to blow this up myself now?
[Christel] You don't need to give me that tone.
[Denise] You can do it, Daddy. You can do it.
[blowing]
You are the best, Daddy boy!
[man 2] It's not that bad.
-[chuckles] -The tail's done.
It looks way harder than it actually is.
[Christel] David, come out for a little bit.
-[David] I don't want to. -[Christel] Watch out you don't faint!
You know what? You should go ahead. I'll see if we can get a different house.
Okay?
-[man 2] Gotcha! -[Christel laughing]
-Signore? -Eh, io… una… question.
Sì. Prego.
Uh…
[sighs] Si possibile de…
change the, um…
You know, the, um… change the casa?
-[woman 3] How bout we speak English? -Oh, great, super.
Yeah, I was just wondering if it's possible for us to switch houses.
-[woman 3] Is there any problem? -[man] No, just…
-Buongiorno. -Buongiorno!
Hi, neighbor.
Hello.
Um, we'd like to, uh…
[inhales deeply]
…have more sun in the morning.
[woman 3] Not a problem. I'll look in our system.
-Hold on. Is it because of us? -[baby crying]
No, we just want the morning sun.
-Because we'd rather switch houses. -No, that's okay.
Uh, uh, there's no…
-No. No, no. -Niente… uh, uh, kid's bed.
There's no kid's bed, so, uh…
Oh, I see. That's at our place, the kid's bed.
-At yours? -Mm-hmm.
I have another house for you. A little smaller, but very sunny.
If you'd like.
You know what? Forget it.
-We'll just stay in the house. -[woman 3] Um, okay.
-I'll send someone to move the bed. -Nah, nah. We can do that.
-Right? -Yeah.
-Romed. -Niklas.
-Hello. -How are ya?
-You good? -Yeah, yeah. Sure.
-No lumbago yet, then? -Sorry?
If your back's hurting from carrying this.
[Niklas] No. It's not really that heavy.
[Romed] You never know with you city people.
-[Niklas] Come on. -[Romed laughs]
[Denise humming]
That's you. The sad woman.
Why am I sad?
How should I know?
What's your name?
My name is Denise.
And when I grow up, I'll be a ski racer.
[Christel] Denise, come here! We still need to put sunscreen on.
I have to go.
[sighs]
Mm-hmm.
Close your eyes. Close your mouth, too. You don't want to eat sunscreen.
-Yuck. -Sunscreen eater!
I don't wanna eat sunscreen.
[people chattering indistinctly]
So you made a new friend, huh?
I couldn't really avoid it.
[laughs]
-Did you change the house? -[Christel] Almost done.
No more vacancies, I guess.
[Christel] Attagirl, Denise. Now turn around for me.
Well, she's actually really sweet.
-And she talks so funny. -Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
-"I'mma do a wee bit of climbin'." -What's that?
I said, "I'mma doin' a wee bit of climbin'!"
[laughs]
I've got lumbago, you broad.
Where'd you learn that?
Bloody knockers, don't get on me tits.
[laughs]
-[Denise] So much sunscreen. -[Christel] Taking care of your skin.
"You broad," huh?
Whatever the hell that is, I think it's exactly right.
Mm-hmm.
[inhales deeply]
[grunts softly]
[sighs]
[laughs]
[inhales deeply, sighs]
[sighs] Broad.
Do I look sad to you?
Hmm?
Why do you ask?
Just wondering if it's written all over my face.
[inhales deeply, sighs]
Nonsense.
You look great.
Like a broad.
[woman chuckles]
[Romed] Sure, look it. Don't be afraid!
You don't need to be afraid of the water, darling.
-[inhales deeply, sighs] -[Christel] Be careful, sweetie.

-[Romed] You got here yesterday too? -[Niklas] Yeah.
[Romed] You're both American, right? Read your license plate, says Vienna.
But, you know, didn't think you sounded Austrian, I have to say.
[Niklas] Yeah.
I was there for work, just for a couple of weeks.
-Then I met my wife and got stuck there. -What do you do for a living?
-I'm a social worker. -Wow.
-Respect. I couldn't do that.
-[laughter] -And you guys?
Uh, metalwork shop.
-Nine employees. -Yeah.
-[Niklas] Cool. -We can't complain.
-[Niklas] Where at? -At Vail.
-Right near, um… -It's near Denver. We live there.
[Niklas] Yeah, I was in Vail every winter as a kid.
I can ski better than the two of you.
[Romed laughs] Come on.
Ah, the dame.
You got a little sunburnt, huh? Christel.
-Yeah, sensitive skin. Alice. -[Romed] Hi, Alice.
-Romed. Hiya. -Thanks.
-To a nice vacation. -Cheers.
-Oops. Cheers. -Cheers.
What do you… What's your nixer?
-Why do you bring your laptop on vacation? -I'm sorry?
Well, what do you… What's your line of work?
Because you're always sitting with your laptop in the garden.
Oh, no, that's not for work. We're building a house.
Virgo, ascendant Pisces, 100%.
Pisces because of your sensitive skin, and Virgo, your career focus.
-[lighter flicks] -Yeah, Virgo is correct.
I work at a bank with customer service.
-See? -Christel just got her certificate
in, uh, astrology studies and such.
-So she's analyzing everyone. [laughs] -[Niklas] Exciting.
-[chuckles] -[clattering]
[glass door thuds]
You don't have any kids, huh?
No.
[chuckles]
-Well, lucky you. -Yeah.
-[Denise] Mommy! Daddy! -You know, maybe our stars didn't align.
-Yeah, totally. -[Denise] Come over here!
-Okay, let's go. -[sighs]
-See you around. -[Niklas] Yeah.
-[Christel] Bye. -Ciao.
-[Romed] Do you play tennis? -Yeah.
-Well, let's play a match then. -[Niklas] Mm-hmm.
-Sure. Yeah. -Grand. Fierce.
Later.
[Christel] Okay, let's look at. What does Denise want?
-Squirrel ascendant. -[Romed] Hungry, are we?
-[chuckles] -A wee wiggle room.
-That was okay, right? -Mm-hmm.
[Niklas] A wee wiggle room.
-[Denise] I need help getting up! -[Alice laughs]
[people chattering]
I want fish, but I always end up ordering pasta.
Mm-hmm.
Something to drink first.
[Niklas] Mm-hmm.
-Hmm. -[video game beeping]
[woman speaks indistinctly]
[child speaks indistinctly]
[woman speaking indistinctly]
[video game beeping continues]
-Why have a kid at all? -[child babbling]
[video game beeping continues]
Well, at least the parents can have a normal conversation that way.
They're probably envying us right now.
[family speaking indistinctly]
Yeah, maybe.
[woman 3] Buona sera.
-We'd like a bottle of the house wine. -Mm-hmm. Rosso? Bianco?
-Um, rosso. -Okay, perfetto.
I'll bring the wine, and I'll come back for the order.
I'd say your ascendant is Gemini.
-Why? -Because you always eat enough for two.
-Oh! Why'd you do that? -[laughing]
-You know how much I ate? -Yeah, I know. I was there.
[groans, chuckles]
-Hey, come on. Let's do that, too. -What?
-There. -[music playing]
-No. I can barely even move. -Come on.
-No, really, I can't. Stop. -[laughing]
-Let's go back to the house. -Go if you want to.
[chuckles]
No one's even here.
That's even better.
["Controllo Totale" by Anna Oxa playing]
-[bottle thunks] -[Niklas sighs]
Yeah.

[inhales] Why didn't you put on sunscreen?
I did, I just didn't put enough.
[sighs]
Other aside, please.
[inhales sharply]
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
Ay-yay-yay.
You're no Pisces. More like Cancer, I'd say.

-[waves gently crashing] -[crickets chirping]
[Romed] What was the boy up to today?
[Christel sighs] He was inside all day. He said he had to study, so…
[Romed] Hmm.
I just…
I don't understand that kid.
I'm just about to lose my patience, I'm telling ya.
At his age, I'd only get A's in school, and I was on the soccer team.
And I played tennis and helped my dad work in the summer.
-[Christel] You can't compare yourself. -[Romed] Why not?
He's not a kid anymore.
-[Christel] He is. He's just 13 years old. -I never got to go on vacation.
He just sits inside all day, doesn't even go to the sea.
I should at least take his phone away, but I can't even do that.
[Christel] Come on, don't be like that. It's just a phase, that's all.
[Romed] Yeah, I hope so.
[Christel] We all had our phases, even you.
-[Romed] Mmm. -[Christel] He'll come to his senses.
[Romed] He used to be such a great lad.
[people chattering]
[Niklas] Oh, shit.
[bell tolling]
And Toby just started high school, right?
Yeah, good to hear.
No, that's great.
Well…
The reason I wanted to talk to you, is, uh…
that there has been some changes to our budget, and I…
Yeah.
And I… I wanted to ask you…
to, uh, have a look at our contract again
and think about if we could maybe increase our credit limit by another 15,000 euros.
Yeah. I've been telling our customers that for years. Now I'm in the same position.
-What a plot twist, right? -[Christel] Hey, Romed.
Can you fetch me my sun oil, please?
-[Romed] Which one? -[Alice] Yeah, great.
Thanks, Mr. Wagner. Good.
-I'll be back on Monday. -[Romed] There's about six red ones.
I could come to your office at 9:30 if that would work for you?
-[Christel] The one I always use. -[Alice] Yeah, the weather's perfect.
-[Romed] I finally found it. -[Alice] Yeah, thanks, you too. Bye-bye.
[Christel] Sure, if you don't mind. Thanks.
[Denise humming]
So, let's get you a…
nice tan.
[fly buzzing]
[Christel giggles]
[smooching]
[Christel giggles]
[grunts]
Sorry.
[Alice] Sorry?
[panting] That was out.
Uh, on the line.
-No. -Yeah, it was on the line.
I don't think so.
[sighs] Okay. Rematch, then?
[sighs] It's always the same with you.
Okay, let's have a rematch.
You got more luck than brains, but it's okay.
Come on, before I change my mind.
-Now take back that part about the brains. -Definitely not.
You're such a bad loser.
I just passed on the rematch.
Oh, yeah? But I let you win a few just to make you happy.
Mm-hmm.
Could I have some of that?
[gulps]
Yeah, sure.
[shower running]
Mmm.
[shower turns off]
I'm sad today.
Uh-huh.
-Why? -You can't always know why.
Yeah, that's true.
Can I have some?
Here you go, you gallivanting girl.
-What's a "gallivanting"? -[chuckles]
Mmm, it's a girl who likes to run off.
[Christel] David?
From what?
-You don't always know. -[Christel] Denise?
-It's true. -Here!
-Forgive me. -[Denise giggling]
There you are, Denise. Come on. Alice has work to do.
[Alice] No, not at all.
Sorry, I'm sure you lads expected a bit more peace.
-No, that's okay. Don't worry. -[Denise giggling]
Come, Denise. Come here, right…
Hey, come on. Stop it. Come here. You're…
You're always running away from me.
[sighs] Take care. Sorry.
Mommy, why did you go naked to the neighbors?
[Christel] What? No. I have my bikini bottom on.
Now, where's David? David!
[door opens]
[Romed] David?
[door closes]
[Romed] Oh, there you are, boy.
I'm goin' swimming. Wanna come?
I don't like swimming.
What about a tennis match?
I don't like playing tennis.
I saw there's a climbing route not far from here.
If you want to. Maybe you'd like that.
First the canyon, then a nice meal…
and in the evening, we get nice and cozy as well.
Why "as well"?
-Did I say "as well"? -Yeah.
[clears throat]
Hmm…
I don't know why I'm so tense at the moment, you know?
Hello.
Oh, hello.
You wanna play with me?
Okay, for a bit.
Okay.
-Do you mind? -No.
Are you in a children's choir?
Am I in a children's choir? No.
No. [chuckles]
Why, are you?
Yeah!
Yeah?

Why should we pray?
What? So you don't go to church?
No.
But if you don't pray, your wishes can't come true.
[sighs] Yeah, maybe.
Can I try them?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, it's already evening for you.
-Here. -[giggles]
-Uh, Denise, come back here. -[giggling]
Denise, you…
-Can… Can you give my glasses back? -[giggling]
Give them back.

Denise, that's…
-Shit. -You're not supposed to say "shit."
No. Shit.
Denise!
-These are expensive. -Hey.
No swimming without floaties!
-She said she was gonna look after me. -I didn't know that she doesn't…
One day, this girl's gonna give me a heart attack.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay. How could you know?

-Shit! -[Niklas chuckles]
-A wine cellar. I built myself one. -Yeah?
I built it. It was worth it. We got, like…
It looks super awesome. It's, um…
volcanic tuff stone that we have in there. It's really grand.
Like a really old wine cellar, yeah?
Not really. We built the cellar in 2009. But it looks a wee bit like an old one.
-How do you control the temperature? -A cooling system.
In a separate room. Can't see it, can't hear it.
That's crazy.
Look how beautiful those flowers are up there, innit. Did you see?
Yep.
-[Niklas chuckles] -[Christel] Okay. Let's hurry home.
The cellar is my kingdom.
If I want my peace, then I go in there. All alone, no one else. It's great.
[sighs] I can understand why you don't want to have kids.
[Christel] I didn't like what you did at the beach.
-[dishwasher starts] -[Denise] I wanna be with you guys.
[Christel] I told you a thousand times, no swimming without floaties!
[Denise] Mommy.
Hmm.
[Christel] A rule is a rule. Don't do it again.
[Denise] I wanna be with you guys.
[Romed] Denise, hurry up. Get to bed.
Would you rather have a different woman?
Would you rather have sex with Christel?
[sighs]
[Niklas pants]
[fly buzzing]
I mean, we don't need a wine cellar, but I think a sauna would be nice.
It's not that expensive.
And you like saunas, too.
I think we should make it all really nice.
Maybe a…
a small pool, too.
If it all works out, we could put some…
some carp in it.
You know koi carp, right?
I mean, it's a little expensive, but…
[sighs]
Alice?
[footsteps approaching]
[couple panting]
-Hello. -Hello.

[Niklas exhales]
[bird squawking]
Sometimes I think we should just sell it.
[Niklas] Mm-hmm.
I didn't know we only deserved a nice house if we had three kids.
[clears throat]
We deserve a nice life, too.
Even without kids.
But I don't want a house.
Or a dog.
Or a sauna or a vibrator instead of a kid.
I mean, can you try to understand that?
We didn't discuss all the options, like the Czech Republic and egg donation…
Or even adoption. I know you don't want to hear that.
[Alice] No, I don't want to.
I want our own or none at all. Yeah, that's how selfish I am.
I want them to have my cells and your cells.
My hair, your eyes.
I want us.
What's wrong with my hair?
[Alice sighs]
You're so good at avoiding things.
With all your jokes and your body.
Babe…
I… I do understand you. Totally.
I wanna have our own little gene pool too…
running around, running around in our garden.
But we have to face the fact that maybe our wish won't come true.
You sound like a mediocre therapist.
But I'm not the one that needs therapy, by the way.

[Romed] I think that's everything. Come on, give me a hand.
-[Niklas] Sure, you got it. -[Romed] All right. Now let's take a look.
It'll be a hell of a time.
-[Niklas chuckles] I'm sure it will be. -[Romed] You ever done this before?
-[chains rattling] -[Niklas] Yeah, but a long time ago.
[Romed] Okay, here are the helmets, if we need 'em. You never know.
-[Niklas] Sound great. Thanks. -[Romed] Yeah. And, well, let's see.
Uh, these are my backup shoes, if you want to try those out.
If they pinch at the toes a wee bit, that's grand.
[Niklas] Mm-hmm.
I think they're too tight.
[Romed] Yeah, but that's grand. Otherwise you can't feel the rock.
Morning!
We're gonna try climbing the Rocca Doria via ferrata.
It was his idea.
Sure.
Fine.
[Romed] Oh, boy. I don't think she's a big fan of the idea.
Should we go tomorrow? It's fine by me.
Don't worry.
-Okay. -Sure?
Yeah. Hmm.
Well, if you say so.
Look, is it right like this?
Yeah. Hey, but I'm not taking the blame, okay? Just so you know.
-She'll get over it. -Yeah?
[sighs]
So now you're on vacation with Romed?
I've been wanting to climb again forever.

Hello?
Yeah.
[man speaking indistinctly over phone]
Sorry?
[groans] But…
But Mr. Janaceck said the offer was just fine.
That's…
What?
But we were counting on that.
It's not our fault the workers mounted our entire roof wrong.
And how dare you call me naive now.
Would you talk this way to my husband?
[sighs]
Yeah.
Yeah, I want to know… Yeah.
No, I'm definitely not going to calm down!

Asshole.
Sorry, I finished now. Over.

[Niklas] She says hi, but she has heatstroke.
[Christel] Poor thing. She needs to drink lots of water.
[Romed] And you need to drink a beer. Grab yourself one from there.
[munching]
[Romed] So, how's the house coming along?
[Niklas] Oh, not so great at the moment. The roof is more expensive than expected.
[Romed] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear ya. Always… There's always something.
Be careful, lad.
When we were building our house, my hair went gray, all of a sudden,
from one day to the next, just like that.
[Christel] It was bloody scary.
[Romed] Yeah, but it was extra tricky because all of our special requests.
What normal person has a yoga room at home?
[chuckles]
[Denise] You don't like hot dogs?
-No. -[Christel] That's true, I guess.
I just need to be alone.
[Denise] Being alone is not nice.
That's what I think.
[Romed] Grab me a bag of Taytos from other there.
Are you still mad at me because of the glasses?
-[Christel] All right. -Yeah.
[Christel] Want some too, Niklas?
-Where did David go now? -[Romed] Who knows?
[Christel] He's always hiding away somewhere.
Here, you can have them.
[Niklas] Check this out.
[Romed] Yeah, right. I know that.
[Niklas] Cool, right?
[Romed] Yeah, for sure.
[Niklas] See? Told you.
[Romed] But then you have it the way you want it.
If it's a wee bit off, you'll hate it.
[Niklas] Totally.
-How was it for you guys? -[Romed] Eh, it was fine.
-[Niklas] Really? -[Romed] Some of it was awful.
Twice as much as everything.
Twice as much money on the jacks, twice as much money on the cellar.
But nothing as bad as you guys, though. That sounds tough.
[Denise] It's so dark.
I'm afraid it's gonna rain.
[Christel] Have some prosecco, huh?
[Romed] Anyway, I'm sure it will work out. Your house is gonna be grand, lad.
I have to go eat dinner so I can get ice cream.
[Romed] Just call me and I'll knock the mustache off of those guys' faces.
-[Romed and Christel laugh] -[Niklas laughing] Okay, thanks, man.
-[Romed] Come here, you little mouse. -[Denise] Dad, can I have ice cream?
[Romed] The 2010 one's just fabulous. Just the right amount of spice.
A nice, smooth body. Your taste buds will soak it right up. You'll see.
Neptune conjunct Midheaven. Oh dear.
Why "oh dear"?
This cuts through the foil like butter.
-Oh, are you staying hydrated? -[Niklas] Hey.
Why?
[Romed] Have a seat, have some wine. A little wine fixes everything.
-Actually, could I get ice cream? -Ice cream? Sure, uh…
Ah, pistachio, ascendant stracciatella is coming right up.
-[chuckles] -You're such an idiot.
-[chuckles] -Sounds great.

-Place and date of birth. -[Romed] David, come hang out with us.
[Alice] 9/12/79, near Hanover.
Ah, Hanover!
[Christel] See? I told you. Time?
Uh, no idea.
Ascendant Pisces. We don't even need to calculate.
-[Romed] Here's your ice cream. -[Alice] Thanks.
[Christel] Oh, are we hungry after all?
Wow, you two are quite the spicy combination.
Sagittarius and Virgo.
And his sun…
So, um, your sun…
is in opposition to your Venus. Oh, dear.
What does that mean?
Your Saturn's in conjunction with the sun and Mercury.
So you're very disciplined and modest.
But your Saturn is in opposition to the moon.
[inhales deeply]
That could be a problem with having children and, um…
[Romed] Christel, you're taking it too far, aren't ya?
[Christel] You just can't stand it if I'm better than you at something.
[sighs]
Not every woman is cut out for family life.
Let's leave it at that.
[Christel] I just wanted to say something positive about the situation.
Eh, I mean, to have tried something so many times to no avail.
[clears throat]
Either way, you're never happy, right? Things were the other way around for us.
With David, I was just 17. It was an accident.
[Romed sighs]
[Niklas] Thanks.
No stress, though. It'll work out. Right?
Mm.
It's unlikely.
Unlikely and unaffordable.
Not every woman has to be a mother to be a complete person.
-Your body knows better. -Shut your mouth, will ya?
Sorry. She talks and talks, but she doesn't get what she's sayin'.
[sighs]
-[Christel] Nature is way smarter than us. -[Romed] Stop it, please.
The problem is we thought we were smarter than nature.
What do you mean by that?
I was pregnant once. No planning, just from making love.
-We were here on Sardinia, camping. -[sighs]
-Just a couple months into dating. -Alice.
It was such a nice vacation, though it was raining the whole time.
I don't see how this has anything to do with them.
We agreed that we weren't ready for that yet,
that… that we didn't really know each other.
I saw a heartbeat at the doctor's but looked away really quick.
Did you get rid of it? Oh dear.

You can cry.
It helps.

Because your shitty sperm is far too slow.

First you can't have sex for 14 days,
and then on the day you're supposed to have sex, it has to be at 11:25,
because it could be too late if you do it at 12:00.
-That's an inconvenient time of day. -Yeah, that's for sure.

And then you try the fucking in vitro again.

None.
