-- You know, this is so crazy. When we're ready with the interior furnishings, there will be no store in New York that's more stylish than ours.== Mmmm.
And the light, Phillipp wants to work with indirect light in the entire front. You know, it will give it a more personal touch.
That way you never have the feeling you're in a store, but more like you're in a wardrobe closet.
And here we could make a bar, where people can have a break...
"Something that will really impress people: Your line! Provoking, fancy, virginal and bold....
You want to prove your brothers that you can make it?
Do it! But do it here!" == Rebecca?
You only have teabags?!
I can't work in this way!
Kim, what's up?
== Hey! He said, I should present him some drafts. -- Said who? == Damian "puke" Wood!
Ok, Kim! Keep calm, ok?!
== But why did you never let me design? -- Cause you never said you want to.
== Are design assistants usually making drafts? -- Yes, cause most of them want to become a designer themselves.
== There are rumours that Wood's assistants are doing his job, completely. -- What?!
Ehm, what should I do now? He's gonna kill me with his tailor scissors!
Come on, you can manage this, Kim! Bye!
== And? What did she say? -- That Wood is an arrogant diva and that it will be hell to work with him.
So that's exactly what YOU said from the beginning.
You're worried about your old team, right?
Hey...
it's never easy to let go.
Come on Ansgar, answer the phone!
Hey!
== Some day I will kill this guy! -- Damian Wood?
Go to the end of the line, please! He already drove me crazy with all his wishes for hotels.
This guy is driving me wild!
Marlene, please tell me, tell me that you have good news for me.Will your girlfriend come back?
Rebecca? Why? No!
Shit! But...
when I told her about my concept...
we were tuned to the same wavelength. I mean...that's not pure imagination!
Are you still planing to go to New York?
== Yes...yes, yes. -- Are there any problems?
No! Why?
== Hi! -- Ah, hey!
== Are you sure? -- What? No, why?
== Because I just talked with Thore Hellstöm. -- Yes?
Even though this guy has a clear self-confidence, where does he get the idea all of a sudden that you want to go back to LCL?
I don't know, I said " no".
He was really surprised that I couldn't confirm it, because you...
were so excited about his concept and he about your ideas?
Marlene, you want a burrito or something to drink?
== Rebecca, I just want to know if something has changed our plans. -- No.
I know exactly how much you would like to continue working for LCL - upon other terms.
And if you're suddenly on fire again, I would like to know that!
Marlene, I promised you that we will go to New York and...
Wait a minute! Just to make one thing clear! You promised me? You've decided that we will move to New York, without asking me first.
== I didn't mean it like that. -- You talked me into it.
I didn't want to go first because of my family, but now, now I'm really looking forward to it.
Because I believe in it, in us and in our joint project.
== Yes, and we will pull it through. -- No, certainly not in this way!
You will hink about what you really want! And when, and only when you're absolutely sure that you wouldn't prefer to stay here...
then we can talk about New York again.
And? Are you sure that there aren't any problems?
Rebecca, it's me, Thore. When you hear that, please call back! We have to talk, it's urgent!
== Will she come back? -- Don't think so.
Thore's voice: "One label, one statement, one collection! We want to attract attention!"
Rebecca's voice: "There isn't any "WE"."
Oh, yes, there is! You're on the verge of saying "yes".
You will hink about what you really want! And when, and only when you're absolutely sure that you wouldn't prefer to stay here...
then we can talk about New York again.
It's just simple: I'm the head designer, I call the tune!
-- It's your job to put everything into action! == We'll continue talking, later.
What is coming now? A putsch attempt?
Rebecca wants to make you an offer.
I will come back! But only under my conditions!
And these are?
From now on every design made by me will be released in my name: LCL by Rebecca von Lahnstein!
Beside of Rebecca's vision, the name "von Lahnstein" is our greatest asset. We have to make capital from it.
Asside from that I want to launch personalised campaigns, and regular press briefings.
I agree!
And I want to have creative freedom , for Thore and me!
Oh, you already call each other "du" (by their forenames)
What shall I say? Talent acknowledges each other.
Nobody of the managment will tell us what to do!
== Well, we will discuss it again. -- No! That's not enough! I want to have it recorded in the contract!
Ok, fine.
== What else? -- I will not work with Damian Wood!
I will only return as sole head designer!
You know that this is impossible, we must find a compromise.
And you know that I got the talent and know-how. And I won't accept a has-been designer, neither under nor above me! Did you get it?!
We can't fire Wood, even if we wanted to.
Well... then he has to work under my leadership!
== Yeah, great idea! -- Nice! Then we have an agreement!
Hey, wait a minute!
Thanks for your support.
It was correctly demanded.
Yeah, but my requirement won't be fulfilled.
I would have loved to change LCL with you.
And I hope we will work together some day.
Don't ask me why, but somehow I have the feeling that we gonna do that.
Fine. Then I'll take that as a promise.
Well, Damian Wood has been under contact for 2 days.
He arrived in Düsseldorf today, but he submitted hotel and restaurant bills from Paris for the last two days.
Wood told you that there he gathered ideas for his work at LCL, right?
Now the interesting part will follow, you gonna love it!
That's from a fashion blog.
This photograph was taken in Paris two days ago.
It shows Wood actively promoting his latest line at Nicki di Lorenzo's.
Did the LCL managment agree?
No, we didn't.
== But that would mean.... -- ...he has stolen the silver!
That means the guy was defaulting on the contract! We can fire him without penalty, that's....
Miss Schulz, you did excellent work!
Really excellent work!
Are you sure?
Yes.
LCL is dead for me.
Why are my brothers doing this to me?
Why do they think I'm incompetent?
New York, we're coming.
Becci, we have news for you.
I don't give a shit! Fuck off!
We fired Damian Wood!
Just like you wanted it.
Okay... I know we behaved like the worst assholes.
Ok, maybe he's always one...
What do you say? Are you back?
And you're accepting all my conditions?
Your name on all designs, you're the sole head-designer and if the controlling doesn't complain you will get full artistic freedom.
Is that what you really want?
== I'm sorry, I just thought... -- It's okay. Then we will stay here.
-- Is it really okay? == Hmm!
I love you.
Come on! We have to save a company!
Ridiculous! To make a fuss because of these peanuts.
--I think it's a pity that you have to leave us. I'd loved to work.... == Did I ask for your opinion?!
Thank you for the team play!
== We wil see us at the Fashion Days. -- Yes, I'm already looking forward to it.
== Welcome back! -- Thanks, Kim!
== Good to be here again! -- I'm looking forward to a good cooperation!
-- It came faster than expected. == I knew it from the outset.
-- And finally we have creative freedom, nobody will tell us what to do! == Perfect!
That's really fantastic! Rough and edgy, nevertheless the draft is classic and elegant.
Hmm, like we said, no more compromises.
I thought about the fact that fashion has to be a statement and got an idea for the show.
== The four elements... -- Fire, water, air and earth...
The perfect symbol for the power of passion.
And I want to have runways lying underwater.
Yes! We have to manage to get fixed the catwalk below the surface, to create the illusion that the models are walking on water.
Yes, that's only one aspect. Love and passion are forces of nature nobody can evade.
That's what we will celebrate with your designs. I already can see it in my mind's eye, we will raise a storm on stage!
== And we need real fire! -- This is exactly how I had imagined it.
This will be the best show ever! And none of my brothers can butt into our project.
That sounds really expensive.
Don't worry! Every cent will be spend for LCL and we will collect every receipt.
Before you start collecting receipts I need a cost report in detail.
== Why should we give it to you? -- Because I'm controlling the expenses of the creative department.
Ehm... Schulz, it's your job to check how many paperclips were used, YOU are an accountant.
Not any longer! As from now I'm a controller and I will tell you how many paperclips you are even allowed to use!
