No letter today
I wrote R three weeks ago
And still no answer
Maybe he didn't get my letter
Maybe some jealous secretary threw it away
Because she knows I love R more she does
That I really love R
It would be a betrayal if I stopped waiting for his letters
I won't go to school today
I'll walk around town
i imagined that R visited me here in Ulm
We climbed the hundreds of steps up the cathedral
One of the most beautiful moments of my life
At the top, R gently takes me into his arms
I shiver with excitement
He is very gentle
His lips touch mine...
and I feel the tip of his tongue
Some people gave me funny looks
Tourists
Perhaps they thought I was about to climb the bars
and throw myself off
And they were right
That's what I'll do if I don't hear from R
But I won't just be dead...
splattered all across the square
if I jump, I'll have a farewell letter to R with me
Then R will hear of me
He'll have to think about me
And so I'll be a part of him and he a part of me
I'm listening to his last album
It's beautiful
More than you can imagine
It's like he wrote every song for me
Like... he knew me inside out
Like I knew him inside out
I understand him
And he understands me
Like we'd known each other forever...
but a cruel fate prevented us from really meeting
It's not what you think. A letter from school to your parents
Give me that!
My parents say sorry but they can't see you today
I'm getting a doctor's note soon
I'm having very bad periods
I was in school today
I thought I could resist going home
But I couldn't stop thinking about R
Tell me, are you nuts?
It's not there
He always sings with the same voice
But for me, his voice is different every time
i imagine that's what it's like, being with the right person
You say the same things but it's not the same
It's not the words you use but what you mean that counts
Because you might not be able to say what you mean
And this is what I wrote in my letter to R:
I know I can make you happy. And I know you can make me happy
To give our happiness a chance, write to me...
...or give me a sign on your next show
Wink once with your right eye, and I'll know you're thinking of me
I don't care if I see pictures of R with other girls
He doesn't look happy in those pictures
I'm not jealous of those others
All they want from him is his money
That's why he's not interested
He goes to bed with them, then kicks them out
Maybe he even pays them, so they know what he thinks of them
Today, is R's first TV appearance since I wrote him
I can't wait to see if he makes our secret sign
If he winks at me
I'm sure he will
Some...
Some stupid show host offered me 1000 marks
Well...
I didn't get away unscathed either
It's also said that...
You know what...
I'm going to watch the movie
I want to watch this. I've been looking forward to it
I don't know what's coming. But you'll have to bleed for it
Is this any good?
Quite good
But I think I've seen it
Maybe we can watch the show
Auf Los Geht's Los, 7570 Baden-Baden 100
And now...
...good luck
Talking of which...
we have many stars...
but real, international stars you can count on one hand
A star of today, maybe an international star of tomorrow...
who is forging a career with many notes, but only one letter...
With the letter R
What R stands for, we don't know. But maybe it stands for...
Let's hope so...
Here is R...!
A moment...
Life is just a moment
Just a moment...
And then it's all over
A moment
I live just for that moment
Just for that female moment...
Enough of this crap!
Dear R...
I don't know if you got my letters
I know you can't read all the letters you get
I don't even know if you wrote back
I think the postman might have kept the letter from me for some reason
Or my mother has it
I don't know if you winked at me in the show either
I couldn't watch it all, because I had an argument with my parents
So I'm writing it all again to you one more time
Perhaps you're waiting to hear back from me...
and don't know I haven't heard from you yet
If you already have my letter, start reading after the big heart
I want to tell you that I love you
And that I know I can make you happy
You don't know me... but I've known you for 2 years now
And I feel I could give your life meaning
You would never be alone again
You needn't worry that I'm after your money or your fame
I would love and stand by you even if you were poor and unknown
You're such a good person...
yet I often see in your pictures the sadness behind your smile
Write to me at the post office addressed to my first name
To Simone
Just write the word "Come"... then I'll know
And we won't have to fear anyone finding out...
or any problems if the letter gets into the wrong hands
I'll go there every day to ask if a letter's come
Please answer this as soon as you get it
I can't live without you
Good to see you
What have you been up to?
- Let's go for a coffee - Some other time
- I've missed you - Ciao
All for R?
That's only the start. There's three more trucks
We're drowning in R's fanmail
Best dump it in the garbage then
I'm so unhappy... I can't even cry anymore
I'll give it another week
If R hasn't answered by then I'll have to act
Anything come for Simone?
Nothing here
DAY ONE
Where you going?
Anything come for Simone?

- Please check... - Next!
I asked you to check

If you skip class again I'll put you in a boarding school!
Pop star R is to appear on the TV show TOP POP...

You could at least shut the door
DAY SEVEN
Running away, huh?
Tell me... ...what'll you do in Munich?
So sweetie, got a boyfriend in Munich?
What do you think about sex?
Aren't you scared of hitching alone?
I think my friend needs a walk
Go take a leak
Now you little minx, let's do it...
What are you doing here?
All requests in writing!
If you don't go I'll call the cops!
TELEVISION
- What's your name? - Claudia
Want to come in and watch?
I'd love to
Don't you have a job to do? Take care of the car
Want an autograph?
OK
- And you? What's your name? - Beate
- You don't want one? - No
I have to rush, bye...
R didn't come today
I'll wait for him
Rm!
R!!!!!
Don't you want my autograph?
What's your name?
I have to go in now
You can come later
Just tell them I said so
All ready for next rehearsal...
Ready for rehearsal
Feel better now?
Everyone for Top Pop in the studio
Get ready for rehearsal
Just nod or shake your head
Great
I'm needed in the studio. Up to you if you stay here or join me
Ready...
Patrizia, hurry with those dolls so R can get in position
If this goes on, he'll be able to transmit with his dick
Got any audio?
Sound, give me some juice!
Thanks
Dieter?
Ready
Start playback!
Hang on, R, give us a moment
- Berndt, light the Madonna... - Berndt's not here
OK, leave it for now
Start playback
Patrizia, where are your guys?
R? Take a break until we're done here
Hi... How's it going?
Christian, what about the ending?
Like this
Not exactly but something like that
Thanks for watching, bye, have a nice day... you know?
But look, I'm talking to the audience...
and the light's behind them
What about turning the shot around?
We can talk to a few of them at the end of the show
- Ok we'll change it over - That's great
I need the exact broadcast date so I don't get it wrong
What about the interviews, Dieter?
We'll just clear it with editorial
- Did she go because of me? - Who?
That girl, your secretary...
You don't need to be so shy
We barely know each other
We have to change that, right?
Yes, she left because of you
She's insanely jealous, but she's no reason to be
I wrote you. Maybe she kept the letters from you
Maybe. But she didn't stop us meeting, right?
R, can you come here?
Sorry...
I don't think we should do an interview
You just doing the song would be better
Yeah, you're right
- You always treat them mean? - That keeps them keen
You're the man
See you after the show?
Unless you got something better to do
- Want to go eat? - If you like
- Got a boyfriend? - No...
I don't believe it. A girl like you?
- You're lying - I'm not
You never been in love?
- So... you don't like boys - Absolutely not
- Are they that bad? - Worse
And me?
Dieter wants you again
Go get something to eat. You know where the cafe is
I need a rest before the show
You're not eating?
You can wait in the cafe
Are you scared?
Come sit here
And now?
What?
What next?
You need to rest for the show
Come closer
Closer
- Closer - That's close enough
You're a little minx
Stay like that
Know what I'd like?
A little kiss
And?
- Is that it? - R to make-up!
Everyone else, ready for taping!
Good evening and welcome to a new edition of Top Pop
I hope you're feeling good, looking forward to the show
Enjoy our great guests, and the surprise star
Someone you haven't seen on TV for a long time, but more later
Someone here liked it a lot
- Enjoy the show? - Yeah...
Ok, great! I hope you viewers enjoyed tonight's edition of Top Pop!
And special thanks to R, it was great having him here
So, until next time, have fun, see you soon
We need to talk. Are you coming tonight?
You can't turn down all interviews
If you mess up now, the last 10 months has been wasted
Come on then! We're done here
Can't we talk now?
The studio's booked for the 10th
Everything's linked to that
We could release it two weeks later
It might just work
- Is that it? - What do you mean?
I'm taking time off. Do what you want
Can't you wait a couple of days?
- I could... - And the album?
Do it without me
What about all the TV spots?
They were arranged two months ago!
- Ready? - We'll call you at the hotel
- I'm checking out tonight
How can we reach you?
When are you back?
I'll send you a postcard
Can I go now?
That'll keep you busy
Where are we going?
I'll just get my stuff
My friends' place, they're in America
No-one knows about it
I have to make some calls, have a look round
Hello... it's me
Maybe I wasn't fair to my people
You can afford it
But I don't want to
I kind of like them. And I need them
- I thought you needed me - Yeah, sure...
Where are you going?
To sort things before I go
I have to
I'll be back soon, I promise
I love you
Me too...
You could come but it's strictly business
You made me very happy
We'll meet again. I'll be back in a few months
I really need to get away
Stay here as long as you like
Just leave the keys in the hallway and shut the door after you
I'll call you while I'm away
Simone...
I'll go back to school tomorrow
We didn't report you missing. I didn't want a fuss
And now, a Police message...
The pop singer R has been missing since August 29th
Real name, Richard Reuss
R left for a vacation, and has not been seen since
When last seen at the filming of Top Pop...
he drove a brown Rolls Corniche
and wore a white linen suit
If you have any information, contact the police
I know where you are
Don't worry, I won't betray you
Not for any money
I missed my period
I'm four weeks late
I'll deliver you into the world
We will be happy
I know you love me
Me too...
I love you
"I know that you love me..."
and that I love you too..."
