2. one and one
Anne, Johannes, Margret, Gregor
| Anne |
so there you are again, |
| Johannes |
tanned, |
| Anne |
good-looking. |
| Margret |
Yes. |
| Anne |
Argentina, a great country, |
| Gregor |
oh yes, |
| Johannes |
huge |
| Anne |
very huge. When I was |
| Johannes |
how long has it been since you |
| Anne |
long, very long, |
| Johannes |
It did you good, the trip, |
| Anne |
yes, |
| Johannes |
so, |
| Anne |
You absolutely have to tell us |
| Johannes |
but first |
| Anne |
yes |
| Johannes |
the most important thing |
| - |
|
| Margret |
No |
| Anne |
Yes
It worked out I am telling you |
| Johannes |
We had long talks |
| Anne |
but Johannes made it |
| Johannes |
Ah no an understatement from Anne as usual |
| Gregor |
Typical |
| Johannes |
Typically women always make themselves look smaller than they are basically it's all Anne's doing |
| Anne |
Ah no |
| Johannes |
ah yes |
| Anne |
I just acted in the background |
| Johannes |
in the background there you have it always modest she has won the decisive battle that's for sure |
| Anne |
That's new isn't it? |
| Margret |
Yes |
| Gregor |
yes |
| Margret |
good for you |
| Gregor |
then the money's coming in now |
| Johannes |
presumably |
| Anne |
We do think so |
| Johannes |
We are sure this is the break-through |
| Anne |
into the A-League |
| Margret |
Well then |
| Gregor |
cheers to you |
| - |
|
| Margret |
We have news too |
| Gregor |
Darling |
| Margret |
yes what |
| Gregor |
Nothing |
| Johannes |
You have the job in Hamburg |
| Gregor |
no. |
| Johannes |
Margret will be promoted? |
| Margret |
Our family is growing |
| - |
|
| Anne |
Ha |
| Johannes |
ha |
| Anne |
yes |
| Johannes |
oh |
| Anne |
You are kidding |
| Johannes |
I assume. |
| Margret |
Yes exactly. We are getting a dog. |
| Gregor |
Two to be exact. |
| Anne |
I was already thinking, |
| Johannes |
so was I |
| Anne |
You got us scared already but a dog, |
| Johannes |
everyone to his own liking |
| Anne |
I would think twice about this all the same |
| Johannes |
It will cost a fortune and |
| Anne |
and such long travels won't be possible anymore |
| Johannes |
think about your white sofa |
| Anne |
it's doomed, |
| Johannes |
he will shit all over your place |
| Anne |
it takes time to get them housebroken |
| Johannes |
You have to commit to a dog for years |
| Margret |
Two! |
| Anne |
Two even |
| Johannes |
true to the motto |
| Anne |
might as well jump in with both feet |
| Johannes |
clean. |
| Anne |
Poodles are very clean |
| Margret |
That's what I don't like their curly ruffled fur |
| Johannes |
awful |
| Anne |
not at all |
| Johannes |
I'd rather have a dachshund, |
| Anne |
ugh |
| Johannes |
but low-maintenance and what's most important those critters adjust to your lifestyle and you don't always have all that dog hair on the sofa. |
