00:07:45 The boy won't get support at all any more.
00:07:55 You don't care about anything any more, do you?
00:08:28 Hello!
00:08:33 The welfare office is going to pay the back rent for the Schulzes next door.
00:08:41 They won't pay a penny for us.
00:08:50 You never know. At the welfare office they take it as it comes.
00:08:59 'The early bird gets the worm.' If you don't try anything, how can you be surprised things go to pot.
00:09:13 And the boy doesn't even bother to greet the building manager.
00:09:17 Greeting won't help when you haven't paid the rent in six months.
00:09:21 He can damn well say hello. Unemployed and impolite to boot -- no one can afford that.
00:09:26 That's not the way to get a job.
00:09:29 Not that way, not impolite.
00:09:31 Not when polite either!
00:09:35 There are no jobs.
00:09:42 You can be poor, you can have bad luck. But there are also people who don't have bad luck seven months in a row.
00:09:49 You think the boy is especially lazy?
00:09:50 Yes, that's what I think.
00:09:54 And you? How far did you get? You've got no more than the dole in your pocket, too.
00:09:58 You don't have to waste your time at the unemployment office the whole day and then come home with your lip. Hard-working people get on.
00:10:04 Good God. What will the neighbors think?
00:10:17 Every day the same fight.
00:11:36 Coming!
00:11:47 Don't blame the morn that brings hardship and work. It's wonderful to care for those one loves.
00:13:54 What have you done now?
00:13:55 Jumped from the window.
00:14:05 And he put the wristwatch on the table first.
00:14:09 Of course, it would have been ruined, from the fourth floor.
00:14:16 Which window was it?
00:14:18 That one!
00:14:20 Nah, not that one. There.
00:14:24 One unemployed worker less.
00:14:27 Such a young man.
00:14:28 And the father doesn't know a thing yet.
00:14:41 They've got seven million unemployed in America too.
00:14:49 Well, before they used to drive to work in a car and now they're demonstrating because of unemployment.
00:15:01 But on foot!
00:15:07 Motive for the deed?
00:15:08 Unknown!
00:15:10 Such a young man. He had his best years still to come.
00:15:23 The best years of a young man

00:17:27 ... accused are sentenced to abandon apartment to the plaintiff. Although the accused has been unemployed a long period, the Boenike couple could have paid the overdue rent with a bit of good will. Their current difficulties must be seen as their own fault.
00:17:41 In the name of the people.

00:19:08 Fritz, telephone!
00:19:21 It's come the eviction now. The bailiff was just there. The furniture is out on the street.
00:19:31 Yes, and now what?
00:19:34 Yes, and now what?
00:19:38 Then you'll just have to come out to my place at Kuhle Wampe.
00:19:41 Is that possible?
00:19:43 Naturally. I'll bring a car for the furniture.
00:19:50 About one hour by bus from metropolitan Berlin, set among the grass and woods on...
00:19:56 ...the inviting shores of the Mueggel Lake, not far from the Mueggel hills, is the tent colony...
00:19:59 Kuhle Wampe, Germany's oldest weekend colony. It was established in 1913 with ten or twenty tents. After the War it...
00:20:08 ...expanded to such an extent that it now comprises ninety-three tents in which three ...
00:20:14 ...hundred persons are housed. The pedantic cleanliness within the colony and in its surroundings is remarkable. The ...
00:20:23 ...colony 'Kuhle Wampe Club Supporters' is a member of the Central Organization of ...
00:20:26 ... Beach Clubs, Inc. The Club's relationship with the authorities is currently a good one.

00:34:16 Marriage is out of question. I'm not
00:34:20 What will happen to the girl?
00:34:22 Very unfortunate.
00:34:31 Now you're in a spot!
00:34:35 Why? It happens in the best of families.
00:34:46 Are you going to marry the girl?
00:34:52 I guess I don't have much choice.
00:35:00 When do you want the engagement party?
00:35:05 Pretty soon, I guess.
00:35:07 Congratulations
00:38:39 Can I help you?

00:43:49 She's gone nuts. Simply ran away.

00:57:53 Well, then he can marry Anni.
00:57:56 I'm sure he'll do it.
00:57:59 At least she is earning money.
00:58:09 You may be right.
00:59:35 Attention! Doors closing!
01:00:21 In Brazil, they burned 24 million pounds of coffee
01:00:25 What did they do with the coffee?
01:00:28 They burned it, pure and simple.
01:00:32 24 million pounds of coffee burned?
01:00:36 That is no more than demagogy.
01:00:39 I read that too but I don't believe it.
01:00:42 Anyone with common sense knows
01:00:47 'Burned coffee - Madness of the

01:01:27 24 million pounds of coffee burned.
01:01:31 They can do that to us!
01:01:33 Quite right!
01:01:34 I don't understand a thing! Burned
01:01:42 That is pure malice on the part of
01:01:45 Malice? They can't be malicious if
01:01:49 So you want to defend the guys, huh?
01:01:51 You think it's okay that they burn
01:01:54 Permit me, the man didn't say that at
01:02:01 What is it you said again, neighbor?
01:02:03 You know, you should never actually
01:02:06 Coffee should never boil.
01:02:08 Once it boils, it is ruined.
01:02:13 And don't even think of pouring the
01:02:18 It's all in here. Why did they do
01:02:22 You see!
01:02:23 'You see!' We have to pay the high price!
01:02:26 And why do we pay the high price?
01:02:32 Quite right!
01:02:34 If we had a fleet, then we'd have
01:02:42 Yeah, what then, in your esteemed opinion? ...

01:02:47 No, they shouldn't. But then...
01:02:49 ... we'll cut the deal!
01:02:53 I keep hearing 'we'. Who is that:
01:02:59 And that gentleman there?
01:03:01 And the lady there?
01:03:03 And the funny man there? So, 'we' cut a deal.
01:03:07 Come on, man, you don't really believe that!
01:03:10 24 million pounds. 36 times 24...
01:03:25 That's no deal!
01:03:26 If one pound costs 3 Marks 60...

01:03:49 Yeah, you really look like you save
01:03:53 Okay: one pound costs 3 Marks 60...
01:03:56 But why 3.60? For 2.40 you can get

01:04:05 Really? Let's say 3 Marks. That's not the point.
01:04:08 Now wait a minute! I say 2.50 and
01:04:15 24 million times 300...
01:04:18 That's nonsense, what he's figuring there.
01:04:21 They earn nothing on the stuff they
01:04:27 You've always got to have less than
01:04:33 You can only make a deal when there
01:04:39 They're on welfare but they drink

01:06:07 And what about the cotton?
01:06:09 Ya see, we don't even need that much
01:06:29 Ya see? We could even buy
01:06:38 Yea, the two of us, we're not going
01:06:44 Right...
01:06:46 ...You won't change the world.
01:06:52 And the lady there...
01:06:53 ... will not change it either. And the man will not either...
01:06:58 ...and an unpolitical person like you...
01:06:59 ...not by a long shot...
01:07:03 And this man here ...
01:07:04 ... he too will not change the
01:07:10 And who will change it?
01:07:16 Those who are not satisfied!
