The Night before Exam - Part 2
When Gregor gets you... you're dead
(Oliver) So, why are you in trouble?
(Linda) I had issues with my ***.
That was your ***?
Him? No, that was just a stooge.
(Oliver) Why did you...do the job in the first place?
Why not? The cash is good.
Yeah, but cash is good elsewhere.
D'you think my way of life isn't classy enough?
No, but...
Isn't it a waste? You know...abuse?
Yeah, sure. What do you do?
I'm a student.
(Linda) For what?
German and english studies.
What?
(Oliver) Literature and stuff.
Want to teach?
No.
What are you studying for?
No idea.
Well, there is some use to it.
I could get a Ph.D. and could stay at the university and start teaching myself.
To get things straight:
You are studying german and english with no career prospects...
...and you're going to teach other people with no career prospects as well.
No! No, that was just used as an example. Bad example.
Yeah, sure. And you're telling me I'm wasting my life.
You guys are all the same.
You know. Maybe I've got cruddy career prospects,...
...but at least I know the best joke in the world.
***.
The BEST JOKE in the world.
You're *** me.
I'd never do that. It's the very best. A sure bet.
So, tell it.
Nah, you can't simply tell it. You have to wait for the perfect moment.
Yeah, sure.
(Woman) Linda?
(Linda) Hi, Petra!
(Petra) You're still around? We thought you got away?
I couldn't believe what you did!
Is him the guy who helped you?
Hi, I'm Oli.
***, I'm Petra.
Is it the suitcase?
(Linda) Keep it down!
(Petra) Can I sneak a peak?
(Linda) NO!
(Petra) Fine. Just asking!
Gregor put the preacher on you.
The Preacher? I thought he was in russia?
That's what I heard.
Well, I have to go. Good luck,
We better be leavin'. She'll *** on us immediately.
Wait a minute! Who is Gregor?
What's going to happen when we meet him?
What is in the suitcase and who is the preacher?
Gregor is my boss.
(Oliver) Your ***.
No. He's the *** of the pimps.
(Oliver) Well, who's your ***?
Whatever!
(Oliver) Who is the preacher?
You don't want to know.
(Oliver) Sure!
He's Gregors left-hand man.
The right-hand man.
Who knows him, smart-***?
What is in the suitcase?
None of your business.
Great.
You better go home now, take a nap and the world will look much brighter tomorrow.
I've got no home.
Oh ***. I gotta go.
What?
I hope i didn't see the one, i think i saw.
Whom?
(Linda) The Preacher.
Let's go!
(Oliver) Are we followed.
No. I was wrong.
Are you always followed by crooks when you quit your job?
Not really.
Not really?!?
Only if you make off with a suitcase.
What's in there?
The best joke in the world
That way!
Great idea.
Has he seen us?
(Linda) Wait!
That was close!
Let's go! I don't want to get trapped here...
Hello, Gregor.
Hello.
How are you?
I want my suitcase back, please.
Okay.
And what about us?
Hey! Wait a minute! Can't we settle this amicably?
Does it always have to end with blood and guts?
Who's that?
(Linda) Long story, Oli, stay out of this.
Stay out of this? As far as I know both our lives are at stake!
There has to be a way to settle this!
Fine. Let's come to a mutual agreement.
What can you offer for the loss of a suitcase with 70.000 Euro in cash,
... for the loss of one of my best employees and what matters most:
What about the loss of reputation, because someone dared to rob me?
Tell me, please. What can you... offer?
The... best joke in the world?
(Oliver) No! I'm being serious!
You are a man of honor, right?
I'm going to tell you the best joke in the world,
If you think somehow else, you can do anything you want.
Otherwise we are even.
What is the risk?
Agreed.
I don't want to see you ever again, got that?
(Linda) Never again.
You won't tell a thing, where you got that money.
Okay.
I don't know you.
We've never met.
Good night.
What happened?
I told you, I knew the best joke ever.
Good luck for your exam.
Don't worry.
Hey! How's the joke?
Nah, it's not THAT great.
