Heinrich George in:
Tugboat M-17
What I was going to say...
you're taking the boy with you, is Marie well again?
That's none of your business, man!
You ought to come with us sometimes, into town.
But if the wife is with us...
Get out!
You've going to drink yourself to death soon.
That's Jacob's father, the old drunkard.
Let go of me!
Shut up!
But Jacob, that's your father!
And you were going to beat him to death!
That's how it is.
But then you'll be a murderer.
Then you'll go to prison.
Just you wait, you cursed dog!
Come with me, Jacob.
You cannot stay here.
What's the matter with him?
Take him with you, otherwise there'll be murder.
He attacked his father with an axe.
Is that so?
He's a good guy.
He knows how to work.
We might try him out.
Throw the ropes!
He always used to beat me.
Always!
Whenever he came back from town...
and he gave mother beatings too...
till she was dead.
Well well...
He'd better not go into town.
He'd better not get involved with women.
But he's your father, you can't beat him to death.
Otherwise the police will arrive and you'll go to prison.
All's ready here.
Let's sail.
# I'm driving along on my proud barge
# with a good river stream and a merry mood
# a skipper's life is so beautiful
# you get to see the whole world
# a skipper's life is so beautiful
# you get to see the whole world
# you see
# today I'm here, tomorrow I'm there
# and in the evenings I surely won't stay on board
# a strapping girl and a stiff hot rum
# suits the skipper's blue jacket very well
# a strapping girl and a stiff hot rum
# suits the skipper's blue jacket very well
# but if I'm out there too long
# I'm mightily drawn towards home
# whether south, north, west, east, northwest
# home is always best
# whether south, north, west, east, northwest
# home is always best
Now you're stunned, aren't you?
This is the big city, you...
Well, let's call it a day.
- Well, enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.
Here you are.
Tommy, come here, potatoes.
There, there...
Well, Franzekin...
time to go to bed.
Come on, get undressed.
Good night, father.
Good night.
Good night, mother.
Good night, Jacob.
Good night.
I am small, my heart is pure,
nobody is to live in it but father, mother, our spitz (dog)...
- and... - and...
Jesus alone.
And now our Jacob will join in.
The Jacob worked really well today.
If he continues that way he might stay with us forever.
Can he play "66" at all?
Ja.
Then he can stay with us.
You could bunk in the front ship.
Ja.
Help!
Police!
Thieves!
Hold them!
Help! Help!
Go on! Hold him!
You dog, I'll kill you!
Bandits! Hold them!
Gescha! Gescha!
Wait!
Let go of me!
You let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me, you!
You let go of me, do you hear!
You keep quiet!
You just want to show off your muscle power.
Let go of my arm!
Show me then!
Show me if you're powerful, you...
Golly!
She can knock out the strongest man!
Quiet!
Where did she run to?
How should I know? She ran away.
Ran away? Where to?
Look for her yourselves, man!
Look at that piece of shit.
The bitch really scratched me.
What did you say?
I? Nothing.
I've got a crab here too.
What's the matter with you, Henner?
What should be the matter with me? Nothing.
Now come on, Franzeke.
Come on, get up.
Little man, come on.
Heiner Classen Aken
Now come here.
Sit down here.
Take off your shirt.
Put your head over the basin.
I'll give you a rub now.
Some soap...
That's fine.
Another squirt...
It'll be your turn soon, just you wait.
And now back to mother,
she'll rub you dry.
That was no. 1,
now no. 2
Well Tweety, want a drop?
There you are.
Now the "jardin" garden...
Well, Jacob?
Had a wash already?
Ja.
Then get undressed.
That's great, isn't it?
That's great.
Now run along.
- Don't we have a good father? - We have.
If only he wouldn't wash me.
Here you are, don't bark.
Come to the master.
Tweety hasn't complained either.
Come here.
That's good.
We must rub you dry, otherwise you'll catch a cold.
You see, that's fine.
Good dog!
That boat won't sail, my boy.
Then repair it for me.
Why don't we have such a big boat with sails?
Well, my child, if I had such a big boat...
then I'd sail around the whole world,
visit strange countries,
strange cities
and different people. I'd sail far away.
Fine. Then I could see some bears ...
and monkeys.
Yes, Franzekin, you see..
if I were captain on such a big boat...
then I wouldn't be allowed to take you with me,
and mother neither.
You see, that's why it's better that we're here.
Here we have our own boat...
and here we'll stay together always.
- Ja. - Ja.
What are you doing here?
Do it again, uncle Piet!
I'd rather not.
Too well oiled, are you?
Who is?
The stairs?
You, my dear, you.
I've had to join the boy in a drink.
Because of the return trip...
a good closure, three trips for us.
That's it, man!
Won't you treat us to a round of drinks, my friend?
He's waiting for us, in the "Strapping Seal"
Man, you surely must be lucky in love!
Another round.
"two hearses with tassels"
Evening
Evening, Professor
Has Siggi arrived yet?
Perhaps she's inside.
I've got a plan for a new coup.
There's good loot in it.
One could get a good deal of money out of it.
But we need Brandt's boat...
Thursday evening.
So that you can leave me in the lurch again,
like you did yesterday.
You cowards!
She can't dance, she can't darn socks...
she wouldn't do as a wife for me.
Perhaps she has a good heart.
Don't be difficult about it
What do you want of me? Leave me alone!
Leave the woman alone.
What's that to you?
Idiot!
Don't start any quarrel.
You!
I'm paying.
Funny way to behave...
Man, you've shown him!
I'm paying.
Are you afraid of me?
You're so powerful...
and afraid?
Go away!
Let's go.
# Once in my life I want to experience..
# that another heart loves me
# between two kisses I'd like to know
# whether there is such a thing as fidelity
# only when I found you
# I really felt it
# what use would love be to me if it stayed a lie
# and that's why I'm asking:
# is it really true that you love me so
# that I could really believe in you
What's your name?
Henner
# or do you want to steal my heart
# the exchange of hot kisses is a wild intoxication
# which you forget very quickly afterwards
"Private Party" # tell me openly and clearly:
# before your ... kisses you
# is it really true
# really true
# is it really true
# that you love me so
# could I really believe in you
# is it really true
# isn't it just a joke
# or do you want to steal my heart
# the exchange of hot kisses is a wild intoxication
# you forget very quickly afterwards
# tell me openly and clearly
# before your lips kiss me
# is it really true
# really true?
bravo bravo bravo
Pleasure Garden
What shall I tell her if she asks me where I've been?
I've been in the Pleasure Garden.
Henner?
What happened?
I've been so afraid!
What happened?
Well...
I...
Henner?
Father!
Yes, my boy.
Yes.
Father, I want to sail on the big ship very badly.
No, my boy.
We're staying here.
Now we'll all stay here.
# is it really true that you love me so
# could I really believe in you
# is it really true, isn't it just a joke
# or do you want to steal my heart
# the exchange of hot kisses is a wild intoxication
# you forget very quickly afterwards
# tell me openly and clearly...
Where were you last night?
None of your business.
Is that so?
And what about your "Kommerzienrat" Herr Brandt, is it none of his business either? (*titled industrialist)
Give him my love.
And now get lost.
What do you mean?
That I'm fed up with it all.
And with you too, do you understand?
Is that so?
And for that I get myself punched in the face!
Good night.
It'll turn out alright again.
Let's see how long he can stand it...
the other man.
A good day.
# is it really true, really true?
But what do you two want?
Why do you two look at me like that?
It's been like this the whole day!
Oh God, what a life!
What's the matter, father?
Hurry up!
Get dressed!
You too.
Let's go!
You too should see the big world.
You too should see the city.
You've never seen a big city before.
I'll show you the big world, life in the big world.
Come on, get dressed!
Aren't you ready yet!
- We are. - So let's go.
What do you want here?
Get lost!
Who is that woman?
How should I know!
But who is that woman?
How should I know...
My balloon!
Let's go.
Potsdamer Platz
Well, Marie would never agree to a divorce.
and I...
I'm really attached to the boy.
That's it.
She would never let me have him.
If only she weren't ill all the time.
If she were healthy, then...
What if something happened to your wife?
What?
No!
But I didn't mean it that way.
Be merry, let's go dancing.
Tonight big masked ball "Sailors' Night" The best mask wins.
Sailors' night!
Henner Classen Aken
PERSIL shall remain Persil
Cheers.
- Listen? - What?
I can't hear you. That's what this is for.
A telephone.
Hallo, do you hear me now?
Go on, say it.
In fact, I want to stay with you forever.
I can't stand it.
Excuse me, madam.
His Excellency Admiral von Schlee would like to see Madame.
What? A real admiral?
Yessir.
You, we're pulling the coup with the boat tonight.
Your Kommerzienrat is at the bar.
That's "Sailor Orje". From your boat.
- "Sailor Orje"? - Yes.
Follow him. Go to the police.
And people believe, with this they can understand each other!
Good evening. Good evening.
Ah, darling, well?
Cheers, have a drink.
Have a drink.
What's the matter with you?
I'm so nervous, I...
What do you mean, nervous?
I'd like to go home right now.
- What, go home now? - Yes, go home.
Wow that we're just in the right mood...
Come, let's go home.
Alright darling, as you wish.
Look at that one, man!
A real sailor.
The guy is just right.
Where have you docked with your boat?
Behind the Circus Busch.
He goes out to sea on an apple barge!
You see, Fatty, now I like you!
A real captain!
Quick the telephone call the river police.
and fix it up, Villa Brandt
- Hurry up! - Coming.
Everybody listen to me!
Ladies and gentlemen
I have the honour to present to you tonight's most genuine mask.
Tush!
Long live our captain!
- Long shall he live! - Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!
What's going on?
What's going on, what?
What is it?
What's the matter?
What are you doing?
It's the boat!
We're sailing...
sailing...
alone...
Morning.
- In fact, I'd like to have a balloon. - Help yourself, Captain.
How much are they?
For you, they're free, captain, they're the last ones.
That's very kind of you.
In fact, I'd like to buy some chocolates too.
Help yourself, Captain.
1 mark 50
You too have a chocolate.
Thank you, Captain.
You're welcome.
Good morning, Captain.
Good morning.
Morning
Leave me alone, all of you!
It's good of you, Marie...
that you don't say anything.
Hallo, father.
Fine! Three balloons!
- I brought them for you. - Thank you.
I've brought you something too.
It's all over now, mother.
Now we'll go back working.
Aren't we?
Now back to work!
What I was going to say...
now I like you again
That affair with that woman, that wasn't any good.
Now she's with another man, and...
kissing around and such stuff...
Where?
You know better than I do.
Now he's running again to the bar, to her.
Oh well...
Good heavens, what's the matter?
What do you want here?
Isn't Gescha in?
Gescha has moved out a long time ago.
Yes, but...
Why has father gone off again?
I don't know.
Why doesn't he come back?
I don't know.
When will he come back?
Don't ask so much.
I wonder if father brings me balloons again.
Isn't Gescha in?
She's left long ago.
Give me a cognac.
Play some music.
Are you crazy, man!
Switch it off!
I'll show you guys...
Stop it, you!
Switch it off!
Keep clear of women.
And of drinks too.
Otherwise you'll end up like me.
You'd better look after your jobs.
Another cognac.
So now...
you're becoming like Jacob's father.
Leave me alone!
Go home!
I won't let you order me about!
And I'm not going to be forced to anything!
Another cognac.
Evening, Professor, put a bottle on ice for us.
- What kind of bottle? - Champagne of course. Popping shots.
Well Orje, we've pulled another coup.
Yes, five minutes of anguish, let's drink to that!
Give me your glass.
Let go off the woman!
Nobody is going to dance with the woman but me!
Stay off!
The woman belongs to me!
For sure, let go!
Go on, faster...
You cursed dog, keep off
The woman belongs to me!
Only to me!
Keep off, you dogs!
Now you'll always stay with me.
Always.
I cannot live without you...
may happen what will.
You'll stay with me.
The rain has stopped,
and now the thunderstorm arrives.
Stay here and wait for me.
Get lost, you!
What do you want here?
Get lost, you!
What's the matter in here?
Have you gone crazy or what?
You damned bastard!
You're not my father!
Father?
Get lost from here!
Get lost!
Away with you!
Away!
Get off the boat, what business do you have here?
Get lost!
Off the boat!
Get lost!
Yes, Jacob could move into our cabin,
and you could get the front cabin ready.
What for?
But you're ill all the time...
you could need some help.
What do you mean?
I've brought someone...
to help you out.
If you're doing that to me...
I've gone through a lot these last days already...
- if on top of that... - What what? You're saying no?
... then I'll leave you.
I and the boy will leave you...
if she comes here.
You'll do as I tell you, understand!
Henner!
Get lost or I'll beat you to death!
I'll beat you to death!
Get lost, I'll beat you to death!
The poor guy!
Good heavens, a doctor!
Little Miss, what's the matter?
Where do you come from at such a late hour?
A coffee.
So it's over.
Another episode over.
Jacob!
He belongs to you, doesn't he?
He ran straight into our car...
like a madman.
No police!
Not to prison!
Don't beat me to death!
Jacob!
Quiet!
Well, Miss...
let's go to bed now.
Your two colleagues are already in bed too...
at our place...
at the police station.
Yes yes yes
Now come along...
so that everything will return to calm waters.
I shouldn't have...
gone to the city.
Mother, is Jacob asleep?
Father
Jacob's asleep.
The end.
