He's more provocative, more emotional
and much fresher.
Gary is basically overflowing with ideas.
I'm really very happy that we got him as a director.
Whatever that man touches turns to gold.
No matter whether at Broadway or at London's West End.
Oh, excuse me.
That's likely him tell him I say hi...
No, that's Christian. I'll keep it brief.
Christian!
Hey, what's up?
Still.
Still? What?
Pure jealousy is talking through you.
You still believe that Marlene is having an affair with Christian.
I know that you think it's totally over the top but
there's nothing I can do against it anyway.
Now he wrote her a letter as well.
Oh. That doesn't have to mean anything for now.
Did she say what it said?
Yes, that's her big secret.
First she hid it from me and then she burnt it.
But I could still save a tiny snippet.
Dearest Marlene.
Love letters usually start like that.
Not that I've ever written one, but
Well, I can't imagine that at all.
I mean, Christian of all people?
Next time, check properly, then sound the alarm.
The chardonnay will last us till Christmas.
And, where's Marlene?
To the bathroom.
I do suspect she's meeting Christian there.
So give those two some time,
otherwise there'll be an unpretty scene.
Very. Funny.
Christian and Olli got married for the second time.
Christian only has eyes for Olli.
That much I saw.
And now think about whether Marlene would cheat on you for real.
Aside from that she loves you.
Through Dana and Hagen she knows exactly what that feels like.
I don't even know myself why that even bothers me like that.
I mean, if there was one thing I never cared about thus far, it was fidelity.
The word alone sounds like taking a loan together and getting a station wagon.
And like love.
I didn't order any of this.
Helena! Hey!
Hey!
And? Everything settled with Christian?
Yes. We're taking up martial arts training again.
We start tomorrow morning.
Very good. I'm in the mood for dancing.
You too?
Yes, why not? And you? Don't run, yes?
(phone beeping)
1 message from Christian
Get me a pudding too, will ya?
Oh. Excuse me, I mistook you for Tristan.
Because we are the spitting image of one another.
Thank you.
Here you are.
Yes. Somehow I couldn't sleep.
Me either.
Yes, you aren't alone with that.
Good night.
Sleep well, sis.
Say, was that your idea regarding martial arts?
Or did Christian bring it up?
Oh, you know, I've wanted to do that again for a while
You know how it is with one's inner ratfink.
I thought you were through with the topic of martial arts.
Yeah, I don't want to fight my way to a belt or anything.
Simply a focused programm to get in shape again.
You don't need that at all.
You know, I don't have any body tension anymore
and once the rehearsals for Lily Rose start again...
Then what?
At the least I definitely have to do something.
For that choreography I have to be in top shape.
Otherwise I'll gasp the songs while dancing, not sing them.
Christian developed this special crash programm.
And he promised he'll ride me extra hard.
Besides, I love that feeling when one is all spent afterwards.
I'll go back upstairs then.
Good night.
I'll be right after you.
After the hype of the first few days the audience numbers stabilized on a high level
I'm guessing after one year we'll be in the top 5 of the region.
Why not of all of Germany while you're at it?
Even that's possible.
I hope everything at the stables is also developing just as successfully by now.
Hagen?
Marlene, what's going on, am I too fast for you?
I don't know either. I just see the coming attacks too late.
Nonsense.
Your mind is not on the task.
C'mere.
Give me a quick update.
Are you still unable to get Rebecca out of your head?
Christian, it's all pointless anyway.
I love Tristan and we're happy together.
And now the version for friends?
Marlene, with a bit of kung fu prancing around you're not going to get Rebecca out of your head.
You know what, I just want it to stop,
this chaos is driving me nuts.
But sometimes it's precisely that wrong thing if one wants to force something at all costs.
That just jams you up.
Yes, so what does my guru suggest?
No clue.
We'll train. Talking doesn't get us any further.
Well then, for relaxation a bit of tai chi, okay?
Starting position.
Without Christian Dana would never have gotten over the death of Dionysus so quickly.
That man doesn't just have a hand for horses, but women too!
Marlene is completely into him too, isn't she? Am I right?
Excuse me, I have another important appointment.
There she is.
I'll talk to her first.
So, hard at work?
As you can see...
Do you have a second anyways?
21.
Excuse me, but it's really important, it's about Vivian.
Who's Vivian? Some model?
No, no, my daughter.
And your new intern.
Oh, yes, right. What about her?
Well, that thing that happened, she's really terribly sorry.
Naturally I'll pay for the damage she caused.
Why you?
Oh right, that completely slipped by in the chaos today.
Ira didn't pay attention.
Technically unique pieces like that are irreplacable,
but I made her pay me a symbolic value, so she'll pay more attention next time.
Does that mean, Vivian didn't do it after all?
That's what I just said.
Gina-Lisa rattet Ira out.
Apparently those two has some score to settle.
Then that means that my daughter can continue her internship here?
Of course. Where's she anyway?
Today of all days I need every helping hand.
So she was innocent after all, and we didn't believe her!
Now, again from the top.
Very slowly, okay?
Like that is very good.
All slowly.
And while rising, stretch all the way through, all the way.
Like that is good. Stretch like that.
And while descending, no hollow back.
See, you can do it.
Don't let me disrupt you.
Hey. You're not disrupting anything.
I just wanted to tell you that the appointment with Gary has been rescheduled to one hour earlier,
because we have to talk through the set changes afterwards.
Did you come by specifically for that?
Your phone was switched off.
What else was I supposed to do? Send smoke signals?
Sorry, if I'd known that you'd call...
It's not a problem at all.
In that case, we'll wrap things up for today then.
Oh, why that? No rush.
I'll drive there ahead of you, we wanted to talk something through anyway.
So, have fun then, till later.
I'm really very much looking forward to the rehearsals.
Ok. For the remaining details I'll contact your agent.
= We'll be in touch. = Bye.
Bye.
At least we managed to cover the essentials.
You mean because I was late?
Though you said that we should just take our time.
Well I didn't know that you'd take *that* long.
Tristan, what's that supposed to turn into?
And actually what was that appearance for?
To check up on me?
Excuse me, if you hadn't switched off your phone..
Nonsense! You only wanted to see what Christian and I were doing there.
At least admit it.
Even though I told you there isn't the slightest reason for jealousy.
Yes, you did.
And I meant it that way.
And please don't start again now with that ridiculous kiss during Truth or Dare.
Don't worry, I won't.
In exchange I'd like to know what it said in that letter.
What letter now?
The one that Christian passed on to you in secret.
Marlene, I definitely don't want to interdict anything to you.
I just want for you, after everything that happened between us, to be honest with me.
There... isn't anything.
Nothing.
You even burnt that letter!
And want to know why, now!
Explain it to me! If the letter was really that unimportant
why did you burn it then?
No idea!
Did you never play with fire as a child?
Oh sure, why else do you think did Rome burn down?
Can't we just finally leave this topic alone for a change?
Or do you want to check my emails too, maybe?
I don't know how many of those start with 'Dearest Marlene' after all!
Till now I was always the last person who wanted to force a woman into a monogamous relationship
all that couple bullshit, I alwasy scorned it.
But it's different with you.
Tristan...
Listen. To. Me.
I only. want. to know. the truth.
And above all I want to know what rules we play by.
And you don't get to decide the rules for our relationship all by yourself.
I'm not having an affair!
Why don't you believe me when I say that?
Because I'm not an idiot!
You think I don't notice that you're always somewhere else with your thoughts?
