Liz?
I thought her name was Dominique?
Yeah, Dominique was yesterday. Today, it's Liz's turn.
Say, how many dates did you set up after that striptease?
Heeey...
No false envy.
The women were into Andi and you as well, only...
... you weren't interested.
Well, actually only Ricardo was into me, but...
It all depends on what comes of it.
Even Olli could have focused his attention on someone else, but all he wanted to do was go to his Christian.
Leni just told me he spontaneously flew to London.
Um... excuse me?
Hi!
I didn't want to eavesdrop, but...
... are you talking about Andi Fritzsche and Olli Sabel?
Sure.
You know them?
Yes, from earlier days.
I moved away from Düsseldorf a few years ago and then we just lost touch.
And now I wanted to say 'Hello' again.
Hi!
And I was totally irritated when the taxi cab driver brought me here after I asked for him to take me to NoLimits.
Yes, the location changed, but he still lives in the same building where the old NoLimits used to be.
Yes, and here he is general manager.
Why does it still bother me?
He loves my sister...
She loves him...
I...
I live exactly the life I want to live.
I don't need anybody. Me and myself are enough for me. I –
What are you doing here?
I...
What are YOU doing here?
I work here?!
Yes, but... I mean...
You just came back from England today.
I thought you wouldn't start working until tomorrow.
Let me guess...
The reason why you're sitting here and talking to yourself is Thore.
He's an arrogant, conceited, shallow, arrogant –
You've mentioned arrogant already.
Doesn't matter. Twice suits him.
What happened?
Damn it! I was nosey.
Pushy!
I invaded his privacy.
Is this about the message you found about him?
Why do I have to be so damn nosey?
Because you want more from him than you'd like.
And because you're a bit worried about him.
I know how that feels.
Not good. I can vouch for that.
That's what I'm saying.
So...
What happened?
He said I was a leech and I should get lost. And that I should stay out of his life.
And you know what?
That's exactly what I'll do now.
Who is Thore Hellström anyway?
Certainly not the only man on earth.
Exactly!
I have my own life which I should take care of.
Excuse me!
After all, there are many new and exciting things happening with me right now.
So, what's the plan?
Plan?
Yup! I promised Caro to get her mind off things.
What things?
Other...
Doesn't matter.
Well, I could tell you what MY plan is now.
I will sit at one of those tables now.....
... and meet my future boyfriend within the next twenty times five minutes.
Excuse me?
Speed dating!
Yup. Speed dating. That's offered once a month here now.
Well, I don't know what to think of such formats.
No problem. You can simply find out yourself now.
You want me to participate?
Yup! At least then, you'll get your mind off things.
Besides, not enough women signed up today anyway.
After the last guy just dumped me, you want me to meet a new one?
One? Many!!
But the best guy is reserved for me.
Here you go. Sit down.
And even if there are twenty wimps here today, at least you won't think about one particular one.
So, everyone please sit at the tables.
Nice for you to join us here today in our first...
... speed dating at NoLimits.
For those among you who have never done this before, here the rules real quick:
At each table, there will be seated one woman and one man.
You have five minutes now to talk.
Then there's a bell, which means the men will move over one seat.
We will keep doing this until every man has talked to each woman.
Very simple, I think.
So let's get started. Leni, please!
Enjoy.
Hello... Caro. Um... I'm Flo and...
... what do you do...?
Well guys, back to the tables. The next round will start now!
Hi...
Michael.
Caro.
That's what it says on your name tag.
Right...
And Caro, what do you do... professionally?
I'm a... designer.
Here in Düsseldorf with an international fashion company and I'm designing my new collection right now.
Oh...
The whole thing's called 'speed dating'.
I've heard that somewhere before.
I don't know...
In my days, you got to know girls the normal way without time limit and seating arrangement.
It's basically the same thing here, only that you get to know not just one girl, but...
... several.
Get to know?
I doubt that you'll get to know someone this way.
It's almost like riding a train.
You also share a compartment with strangers and it's amazing that...
... you can tell each other anything because you know...
... you get off in a few hours and will probably never see each other again.
Yes, or you like each other and meet up again.
Yes, or like that.
Well, here...
... it's basically the same, only here you know that the one sitting across from you is really looking for someone. So...
... the first obstacle has been cleared.
I don't know.
That's totally stupid.
Why does everything have to be turned into an event?
We can go somewhere else instead.
Oh, I think it's quite interesting.
Weren't you the one who told me to try something new?
You really want to join in?
Stop being so stuffy.
How was that?
'Today, my new life will start.'?
Maybe the same goes for you, too?
That's a surprise.
You know each other, yes?
Yes! I'm sorry. I'm being rude.
So, what did you say?
You studied history in Cologne and now you're working in Düsseldorf at the city archive?!
Exactly.
Sounds a bit antiquated, but it can be very exciting.
Sorting things can be very fulfilling.
Of course, it's not as creative as designing fashion, but still...
No, that's not what I meant.
No, it's okay.
No, I've –
So, time's up. Short breather.
Nice to have met you.
You see, it's working.
I heard what you told him.
But I lied.
So what?
You're not a designer now, but maybe soon.
Great! Now he's got a completely wrong impression of me.
He sees you the way you want to see yourself.
But that's not me.
Do whatever you want.
Guys, back to the tables. The next five minutes start now!
Hello. I'm Peter.
Jessie!
Excuse me for disturbing, but...
... I have to clarify something.
I'm no designer. I mean, not yet.
I'm doing an internship right now and... yes...
With 30, which is pretty late, but...
I'm not designing my own collection either.
Errr... I don't understand...
I lied.
And why?
Because I wanted to make myself sound more interesting than I really am.
I sort of find that interesting now.
Sorry, you have to either abide by the rules or drop out.
Drop out?
We'll drop out.
Guys, it's time to move over.
And next time you cook a fish soup, add a dash of pastis.
Yeah...
Hello.
Hello.
Biggie.
Thomas.
Yeah...
So, unfortunately, that was the last round.
I had fun. I hope you did, too.
But most of all, I hope you got to know someone with whom you'd like to continue talking.
If that's the case, you can do that at the bar or better yet, while dancing.
In any case, you enjoy!
Here you go, you cuddly mice. This is on the house.
We'll be closing soon.
Thanks. -- Thanks.
Here, take a look.
Since we were on the topic...
The models... they're all exchangeable as well.
Why are you laughing now?
Sorry...
I'm laughing because the girl on this cover is my twin sister Giselle.
THIS is your twin sister?
We're non-identical twins and don't look very much alike.
That's true, yes.
Well, she's the model in the family.
I can tell.
I don't want to offend you, but doesn't she appear a bit...
... a bit boring?
Well, if you think SHE's boring, what am I?
Cool.
I mean, your heart's in everything you do.
That's nice.
So, what's it going to be? We're closing in a second.
If you give me the keys, I can lock up myself later.
Sure, I mean...
...you know where the lights are and all that, right?
Sure.
Good, then...
... you two enjoy!
Thanks.
Oh, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Most certainly not.
Pretty cool to know the club owner.
Um... that's okay with you, right? Or would you rather leave?
No, no... No, no...
Not at all.
Didn't you want to meet your future boyfriend today?
Did you take a look at those slowpokes?
No wonder they have to go to an event like this to meet a woman.
And why did you participate again? Because of the tasty buffet?
Unfortunately, there wasn't a buffet.
Just forget it.
The guy with Caro seems to be pretty nice.
Nice is comparable to boring.
Jealous?
Of this guy? Most certainly not!
Well, I think those two would make a good match.
Definitely better than Thore Hellström.
He doesn't seem to understand at all what he's missing out on with Caro.
And he plays in a completely different league.
Why?
Well, he's into models.
Obviously he's not into every model, right?
Hey, at least I was in bed with him, okay?
It's alright...
In any case, I would like for Caro to find happiness with a guy again.
Well, she certainly would deserve...
... a bit of fun.
What time is it?
Morning.
Morning.
The bed is more comfortable than it looks after all, right?
Coffee??
Thought you two might need one.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Well, how did your night go?
Yes, I learned how to play foosball.
And then she made some cocktails.
Wow! -- We totally lost track of time.
I'll be right back.
I hope it's not a problem that we fell asleep in here.
No, no problem.
I just have to open up soon, so I thought I'd better wake you.
Thanks.
Stop looking at me like this. Nothing happened.
I didn't say anything.
I'm just glad that you obviously still had a nice evening.
Yeah, I really did.
Morning. -- Morning.
A bowl of coffee...
Liquid, strong and weak with two uneven lumps of sugar.
Be right up.
Schulz.
You look like you slept here.
It doesn't just look like it.
Better.
Morning.
Morning.
