I’m sorry. I still have an appointment.
Tristan! Leonie’s music producer is here.
I’ll be right there.
How long? We will wait.
That will take a while, so don’t waste your time.
How is it possible that a restaurateur like me doesn’t have coffee in the house?
Well, one afternoon without caffeine and I’ll turn into a wolf.
And so do I!
Well, maybe we'll be lucky here.
Yes, maybe.
If you want, I can come see you in Meppen.
That was just a suggestion!
Hey, barkeeper! Two coffees!
No, Mom!
We haven’t done anything special on Christmas Eve either.
My sister.
Yup.
Yes, Andi, Bella, me.
Yes, Charlie was there too.
Of course I’m still talking to her.
Is she still upset?
I can’t blame her.
Listen Mom, she’s sitting right here in front of me in case you do want to wish her a Merry Xmas.
Sure. It was just an idea.
Mom, I have to get back to work. We’ll talk later, okay?
Ciao.
How is Henriette doing?
She’s completely bored in Meppen.
Then she should come here.
After she just found out that her sister had an affair with her husband?
She'd rather go ice bathing and catch pneumonia.
The affair has been so long ago.
And it’s Christmas – the festival of love.
That’s when people have to forgive and forget.
It worked for us just fine.
Maybe Christmas is really the only time to try again.
Olli! I’ve already tried everything.
Your mother cannot and will not forgive me.
And you know what? I can even understand it.
Let me first make some coffee for you guys.
Mhmm.
I say it every time. Every time I say the same thing.
That’s a popular guy.
And a true bundle of energy.
Tristan, we can get in real trouble when guests smoke here.
Then take care that they don’t.
It would be easier if you could stop it as well.
Do you have a problem with it?
No.
Sorry for worrying about it.
Hey, take Leonie. Take Leonie.
Just what I thought. White Christmas.
Mother, the man with the *** has arrived.
No wonder that guy is so wired.
Well, I think the two of you should clear the air.
What have you got to lose?
But you heard that she doesn’t want to talk to me.
Then force her.
Bella, that’s really nice of you, but I know my sister. It’s all useless.
So, and now I have to go to “Schneider’s” and check if everything is in order.
I’ll go and pay Olli, okay?
Yes, certainly.
Olli, how much for the coffee?
Oh, it’s on the house. Sorry that I didn’t have time to talk with you…
Tell me, how long is the drive to Meppen?
About two hours. Why?
Bella, I don’t think that is a good idea.
Those two need to talk to each other.
Talking is not my mother’s strong point, so you better leave it alone.
But can’t you see how Charlie suffers because your mother no longer talks to her?
Of course I can see it, but they need to sort this out between them.
Well, thank you for the coffee.
Um…
Olli had a wonderful idea.
How about if you and I enjoy the afternoon together?
Two girls, one scooter.
Now?
Yes, um… it’s a bit cold now, right?
Nonsense! We’ll put on some warm clothes, a hot Thermos bottle with tea.
It’ll be great! Come on, please.
Okay, I could use some diversion.
I’ll tell Luca, he’ll run the show. I’ll put on something warm and I’ll see you outside.
Okay.
You really want to ride your scooter to Meppen?
Yes, why?
Don’t you even want to tell Charlie where you’re going?
Right! So she can refuse to come along?
Do you have a Thermos bottle I can borrow?
No.
And how about some tea?
If anyone can break through Charlie’s stubbornness then Bella can.
Yes or they will both totally clash together.
Charlie hates it if you decide something over her head.
Just like Bella. Once she’s made a decision…
… you can’t make her change her mind. Just like Charlie.
So far neither one has come here to complain about the other.
That’s a good sign, isn’t it?
Maybe I’ll call anyway and ask how it’s going.
Hello Olli.
Bella, hey. I just wanted to hear how things are going.
We broke down. Can you pick us up?
And how about Meppen?
Don’t ask. Put on something warm. Charlie is close to a cold shock and
besides that, she is upset with me because I wanted to go to Meppen.
I’m not upset. I just don’t like to be forced to do pointless things.
Now tell him how he can find us.
It’s not going too well.
Ok, we’re stranded on a forest road going north leaving town.
Okay, then I should be able to find you.
What’s going on with the scooter?
I have no idea. It just stopped running.
Gas?
Did you tank up?
Of course I tanked up.
Ok, I’ll bring along some gas...
And try not to be at each others’ throat until then, okay?
Okay, but hurry.
I will.
Well, it wasn’t the starter.
And neither the spark plugs.
Finally.
Am I too late? Do we have any injured?
No, only chilled through.
Good. Then go and warm up. In the meantime, I’ll fill up the scooter.
Are you sure everything is fine?
Yes, don’t worry.
I told her right away that this was a stupid idea.
Who knows.
Good luck, Auntie.
Give mom my love.
Mhmm.
