  • Karin Thimm: Discipline's okay as long as you're having fun.
  • Petra von Kant: Don't be mean.
  • Karin Thimm: I'm not being mean. I'm telling the truth. We always said we wanted to be frank with each other. But you can't stand it. You want to be told lies.
  • Petra von Kant: Yes. Lie to me. Please, lie to me.
  • Karin Thimm: It's better if parents don't interfere with all the things you have in your head.
  • Petra von Kant: You have a good figure. You could use it to your advantage. Get in touch with me some time.
  • Karin Thimm: I'd love to.
  • Petra von Kant: The nice thing about the job is that you're often on the road. I love big foreign cities at night. Are you fond of traveling?
  • Karin Thimm: Depends. Yes, I think so.
  • Petra von Kant: It can be marvelous: travel, new experiences, foreign cities, music. Do you like art?
  • Karin Thimm: Art? I don't know.
  • Petra von Kant: Theater, concerts, good movies?
  • Karin Thimm: Oh, yes! I love the movies. Pictures about passion and sorrow are nice.
  • Petra von Kant: Yes. We could learn together. That makes it easier. I was lucky to have parents who pointed out to me at an early age the beautiful things in life. What were yours like?
  • Karin Thimm: My father was a toolmaker.
  • Petra von Kant: Tell me about yourself.
  • Karin Thimm: Me? There's nothing much to tell.

  • Petra von Kant: Really, a black?
  • Karin Thimm: Yes. Why?
  • Petra von Kant: Just because.
  • Karin Thimm: He was really great. You'd have liked him. He wasn't really black, more brown - with an intelligent face. Some blacks have European faces, don't they?
