How long has she been sitting there like that?
Too long.
"The Path Won't Be An Easy One"
[door bell rings]
Whatever you're about to do, don't do it.
-Oh. -Countess.
Hello Justus.
Count Tristan asked me to hand these over to you.
He said he would appreciate it if you wouldn't disturb him anymore.
Thank you.
I beg your pardon? My daughter not disturb him anymore?
-How dare he? -(Dad) So very insolent!
-(Marlene) Dad! -(Dad) Not dad!
This noble wretch breaks your heart and then sends his pinguin here because he wants to have his peace?
Please excuse me, but I'm only the bringer of the bad message.
Then convey to this gentleman that he'd better prepare himself for stormy weather if he keeps on like this.
Dad that's enough.
-Justus I'm really sorry, he doesn't mean what he says. -(Dad) Yes, he does!
Well, I'll be damned! Now you're coming to this buffoon's defence too?
Well first of all ristan is not a bufoon, and secondly...
secondly he hasn't broken my heart, but I have his.
And I have no idea if I can ever mend it again.
Hello you two.
(Helena) Rebecca.
I know Tristan you're angry with me.
But are you going to ignore me until the end of my life?
I would like to have a little more coffee.
Please tell her I want to eat in peace.
Tristan, it's me! What is this children's play now?
And uhm, can I also have another piece of chocolate torte?
Can you please tell Tristan I'd like to say something important to him very briefly?
Um, Tristan, Rebecca asked me to tell you
that she wants to say something important to you briefly.
Uhm, I said chocolate.
Please tell her that I'm not interested.
Tristan asked me to...
It's ridiculous, I agree. But honestly you're not entirely without blame.
Yes, I know.
But it's already happened. I have slept with Marlene.
(Tristan angry) Hmmm.
But...apart from how wrong what I did was, Marlene wants Tristan. Only Trsitan.
Can I have some more coffee please?
So did that reach you or shall repeat it?
She told me herself that she only loves you, and she desires nothing more than...
I couldn't care less about her.
You don't believe it yourself either.
Marlene is an actress, she knows how to lie.
She's not lying.
Talk with Marlene once again yourself and convince yourself whether she's lying or not.
Are you gonna start that again too?
No, I'm just thinking the whole time that there's only one reason why she told you about the infidelity. Because she loves you.
Great that you're all so unanimous!
Tristan, wait!
Didn't you see Justus?
Yes, I did. Please listen to me. I was such an idiot.
I told you I want to have my peace. Can you please accept that?
Dear Tristan.
I don't knwo how I would've reacted if I was in your place.
I can totally understand that you don't want to know about me anymore.
Every second that you're not there...I miss you.
The worst thing is that I know I'm myself to blame.
Save this performance for someone else. Perhaps my sister will be taken in by this, she was always more susceptible than me.
Hello Marlene.
[door bell ringing]
Juliette! What are you doing here?
I sleep here almost every night.
[kisses her]
-What's wrong? -Eh, nothing. Everything's alright.
You're such a terrible liar. [laughs]
Ok. But...I don't want to talk about it.
But I do. Now tell me, who's annoyed you?
Tristan...But I am myself to blame.
Your brother? What's he done?
He...gosh...please don't be angry with me. I really don't want to talk about it.
Ok. I understand.
But...There may be another way to lighten your mood.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
(Juliet) Hmm. [clears throat]
I'm genuinely sorry.
Yeah, I believe you. But it doesn't help me much.
What do you mean?
For how long do we know each other now? Six, seven, eight months?
And I even believe you like me, but you never let me get close to you.
That's not true.
Look, I'm not talking about sex or fooling around.
I'm talking about what's going on in your head.
I have no idea who you are.
There's tension between you and your brother which is apparently so bad that your're completely distressed.
And I can totally understand that a person doesn't always want to talk about everything. But you NEVER talk with me.
About your feelings, what make you sad. And...It doesn't work. I can't do this.
-Ooh you are sooo... -Awesome, I know! You too.
Oh sorry.
Marlene! Hey! Uh...what's wrong?
Have you got a moment?
Of course. Come sit down. I'll make you coffee.
Shame, I believe I'll have to leave you alone I'm afraid.
-I'm sorry I... -No problem.
Are you going to you tell me what's wrong?
He won't talk to me anymore. I've written him X letters and he hesn't read a single one of them.
What should I do?
What's happened between you two?
I mean, whatever you've done it couldn't have been that bad.
But it is.
Oh no. Have you...?
Yes. I have.
It's not true that I never say anything about myself. In New York you learnt things about me that no one else knows.
Actually it's only since Düsseldorf that you've become so reserved .
I...I'm not reserved. I just have a stressful job and everything's new to me.
Yeah, maybe I'm being impatient too. But do you know what's funny?
In a couple of hours I fly for at least 2 weeks to Hawaii for a photo shoot - far far away from you.
And although you're suddenly very sad I can't come anywhere close to the idea that it might have something to do with me.
But you do know that I find it a pity that you're flying away.
Pity? I find it a pity too when it rains outside.
[huffs]
Tell me, how much do you actually care that I come back?
What? You...you don't want to...
Me? I will. But what about you?
Is it so important? So important that it hurts?
I'm sorry.
It's about this other woman, isn't it? You're still secretly in love with her.
No! Nonsense! It's not that.
[phone ringing]
Excuse me.
aghh
Hello? Yes of course. I'll be right there.
Sorry but I have to go into work. Tailoring is in a state of absolute chaos right now.
Ok, that was it then. Adieu my beautiful one.
No, please. Don't go.
We...we can talk about it when I'm back too. I'll be quick. I promise.
[angry] aaaaaaaaaaaaaugh
Thanks.
So, are you in love?
No! I was just confused because I never thought I would let myself get involved with a...
with something like this.
It was just new and somehow unknown, you know?
Mhmm. The allure of the unknown. So do I know the guy?
-Seriously you're not thinking of Hagen now, are you? -Uh nonsense!
-Tell me, do I know the guy? -There's NO guy...that you know.
I want Tristan and no one else. Do you understand?
When Tristan finds out how much you love him, he definitely won't give up your relationship so easily.
How am I supposed to show him that?
He's made it very clear to me that he neither wants to see nor hear from me, let alone talk to me.
Hello? Am I talking to Marlene? Marlene that can move mountains if she really wants something?
I think your image of me is a bit dusty.
Ok, you tell me that now after 24 years.
We must get Tristan to listen to you sensibly.
And then you must give it your all. Then he'll be lost. Yeah...
[loud background music & noise]
Does it really have to be this loud?
Yes. Ah. Try this. Ultra-incredible!
Mango, pineapple, banana, almond cream, and now comes the absolute highlight: a lace of tonic water. Voila!
Too sticky for my taste. Absolutely untrustworthy.
Untrustworthy? Excuse me but I don't think so. Besides, how can a cocktail be 'untrustworthy'?
Stop. Stay here.
Have you seen Tristan's look?
He's angry with you, it's no secret. Walking away isn't effective now.
Hey Olli!
Ah, good that you're here. I desperately need your feedback on my latest cocktail creation.
-Oh no not again! -Yes, again. Tristan isn't a particularly big help at the moment.
If there's anything I'm in Lager.
I'll make myself an espresso, ok?
That's really a tragedy between the two of them.
-But it's about time this man finally listened carefully. -Yeah, pfff.
I've already tried that too.
-Yeah? -Yep. So far I've always got through to him, somehow.
You can't coerce him to do this.
Maybe we can. Where did Tristan say he was going? To Lager?
Yeah.
Marlene?
