Christiane Paul: Juli

In July

Juli

Daniel Bannier: Hi!
Juli: You made it.
Daniel Bannier: Nice to see you.
Juli: Where's your date.
Daniel Bannier: My darling, I've traveled thousands of miles, I've crossed rivers and moved mountains. I've suffered and endured agonies. I've resisted temptation, and I've followed the sun, so that I could stand before you and tell you I love you.

Daniel Bannier: Ok, we'll play the old game. The first person to stop decides where we go, ok?
Juli: Want me to tell you something?
[Daniel nods]
Juli: I love you.
Daniel Bannier: What?
Juli: I love you.
Daniel Bannier: It's funny but I'm not sure I heard that right...
Juli: I love you.
Daniel Bannier: I said that it's difficult to understand you.
Juli: I LOVE YOU!
Daniel Bannier: That's how it has to sound.

Daniel Bannier: [stealing a car] You know what you're doing, don't you?
Juli: [nods]
Daniel Bannier: You got it?
[Juli pulls out a camera and takes a picture of him]
Daniel Bannier: What are you doing?
Juli: It was here.
Daniel Bannier: Hurry up, damn it!
[Juli tries to start the noise and the car makes bad noises]
Daniel Bannier: Hey! Are you crazy you're going to break everything!
Juli: Trust me, ok?
Daniel Bannier: Ok, ok...
Juli: Ouch!
Daniel Bannier: Did you hurt yourself?
Juli: No, I'm ok.
Daniel Bannier: Oh, damn! Don't move. I think someone's looking. Oh shit! He's looking this way... Keep cool.
Juli: Isn't this romantic?
Daniel Bannier: What?
Juli: I never stole a car with anyone before.
Daniel Bannier: Juli, do me a favor and start this car, so we can get outta here! Please!
Juli: Ok.
[starts the car]
Juli: Well, what did I tell you.
Daniel Bannier: Unbelievable!
Juli: Give me five!
Daniel Bannier: You're the best!

Juli: You look like you could use some luck.
Daniel Bannier: A bag would do.
Juli: [holds out a ring] What's this?
Daniel Bannier: A sun.
Juli: What's a sun.
Daniel Bannier: It's a ball of gas which the Earth and 8 other planets revolve around.
Juli: The sun lights up life: for me, for her, and for you. Another word for light is?
Daniel Bannier: Energy?
Juli: It's good luck.
Daniel Bannier: I see. The ring is a lucky charm.
Juli: You're very smart.
Daniel Bannier: I'll be a teacher soon.
Juli: A teacher? Really? That's funny. What's your name.
Daniel Bannier: Daniel. Daniel Bannier.
Juli: That's a nice name.
Daniel Bannier: What's your name
Juli: I'm July?
Daniel Bannier: Like the month.
Juli: What about the ring? It's a very old Mayan ring. The legend says whoever wears the ring can recognize happiness. You will soon meet a girl wearing the same sun that you have. She is the only person destined to bring you happiness.

Daniel Bannier: What's that?
Juli: [chuckling] The border. The Danube.
Daniel Bannier: What's so funny? It's real funny, huh? Real funny. Terribly funny.
Juli: Calm down.
Daniel Bannier: No! It's all your fault!
Juli: My fault?
Daniel Bannier: Your fault!
Juli: Why is it my fault?
Daniel Bannier: Because all this shit is your fault! If I'd taken the ferry from Bari, I'd be in Instanbul now instead of a pit like this!
Juli: Bari! Without me you'd never get to Bari! You'd still be in Bavaria! Who helped you cross the border? Who stole the car?
Daniel Bannier: And who sold me this stupid ring? If I hadn't bought this stupid ring, I'd still be in Hamburg... reading on my balcony! And I wouldn't be here!
Juli: Then go back home to the Elbe! Read a newspaper or a book! Just go back to your old dull life!
Daniel Bannier: You just don't want me to meet her.
