[In the site office, Dagmar gives her new assistant some work...]
Man will vier Kopien davon. Ich sage, wo man diese schicken muss. (Make four copies of this, and I'll tell you where to send them)
[Entering the office] Hello.
[Taking off her glasses] Hello. [Introduces the assistant] Oh, Dennis, this is Christa. She has just come to work with us.
Christa[Laughs] Guten Morgen.
Oh, yeah. Sorry. Er... [Quiet] I was thinking about the weekend.
It's all right. I don't think she speaks English.
Oh, sure. I didn't want to compromise you, did I?
[Laughs] I think that already happened after our first weekend.
Yeah, well, it's not common knowledge now, is it?
[Tuts] Come on. On this site? I should think by now it is history.
Yeah, well, there's no panic, then, is there? I was just thinkin' that we might do somethin', might take off for the weekend. I've been puttin' in some overtime an' I'm flush, that's all.
Oh, that sounds very good. But I have to see about my mother.
Well, er, have a think about it, okay?
Sure. [Dennis turns to leave] Oh, wait. The post. I think there is one for you here.
That's all right. I'll just take them across.
All right. Thank you. [Dennis takes the post from Dagmar]
Bye-bye, then. Wiedersehen. [Leaves the office.]
Christa
[To Dagmar] Erm... he is... your friend?
Oh, Sie sprechen doch Englisch? (Oh, so you do speak English, don't you?)
Christa
[Laughs] Enough.
Christa
Oh! Für wen sind die, denn? (Oh! Who are those for?)
Ist da eine Karte dabei? (Is there a card with it?)
Christa
Ja... Oh, es ist auf Englisch. (Yeah... Oh, it's in English.)
Hmm... [Reads the card] "To Yvette, from someone who has waited a long time."
Christa
[Laughs] Wass? (What?)
[Translating for Christa] "Fur Yvette, von jemandem, der schon seit langem warten."
Christa
[Confused] Wo ist denn Yvette? (Where's this Yvette?)
[Presenting the flowers to Christa] I'd like you to have these.
[On the phone as she watches] Es ist Ihnen ein kleiner Fehler mit Ihrer Buchhaltung unterlaufen. (You've made a small mistake in your accounting.)
Christa
Für mich? (For me?) And... it's not for Yvette, ja?
Eh? No, no... they're for you... from me.
Now, Wayne, what is going on? Who do these flowers belong to?
[Totally smitten] To her. As does my heart.
[Looking out of the window] Ich glaube, da wartet jemand auf Sie. (I think there's someone waiting for you.)
Christa
Ach, was soll ich denn jetzt machen? (Oh, what do I do now?) [She sighs as she takes the flowers] Men...
Sie können sich für die Blumen bedanken. (You could say "thank you" for the flowers.) [They leave the office. Dagmar locks up.] Alles klar. (All right.)
Christa
Wiedersehen. (Goodbye.)
Tschüss. Bis Morgen. Schönen Abend noch. (Bye. See you tomorrow. Have a nice evening.)
Hello. I was just passing.
Christa
Erm... Why you buy for me these?
Why did I buy..? I just felt like it. Y'know, impulse.
Christa
Thank you so much, ja? [Turns and approaches her car, but Wayne follows her] Um... They're very lovely.
It's no more than you deserve, is it, eh?
Christa
There were other flowers much like these... from Oz, I think his name.
Really? What a coincidence, eh? Look, my name's, um... Wayne.
Christa
[Chuckles] I know. [Wayne opens Christa's car door; she puts the flowers on the front passenger seat] Thank you very much.
Christa
Er... you Englisch... you live there, ja?
Yeah, in the hut. Yeah. We call it the Stalag.
Christa
Wie bitte? (I beg your pardon?)
Stalag. 'Cos it's like a prisoner of war camp, y'know.
Christa
Oh! It's... nice camp, ja?
Nice? It's not exactly the Hilton, love, but it's okay, y'know. Just one of the hardships we have to endure to stay in your wonderful country.
Christa
Er... show me.
Christa
Ja. [She closes the car door] Show me. [Heads towards the lads' hut]
[Giving chase] Look, it's a bit basic, love. I mean, it's got old socks and crisps and things in it, you know! I really don't think you'd like it that much!
Here, Oz. Isn't that Wayne with your bird there?
She's not my bird, man. Not since I found out that she isn't who she wasn't.
Still very tasty though, ain't she?
Yeah, yeah. Y'know, when Wayne gets his evil hands on her, mate...
Eh? [They give chase, watching from a distance. They see Wayne and Christa enter the hut.] What's he up to?
[As Christa takes in the grim reality of how the lads live] Well... I did warn you, love.
Christa
It's, erm... like army.
Christa
[Standing on Wayne's bed, hysterical] No, no!
[Also standing up] Don't worry, love. [Christa falls onto the bed] Get... stand up! [Oz enters]
No, look, you don't understand! You don't understand... [Oz picks Wayne up by the back of his jacket and throws him out of the hut, face first into a muddy puddle.]
Christa
[Hysterical] He bite me, he bite me!
Calm down, pet. I've taken care of that dirty little turd.
[Enterting the hut with Moxey] What's the matter, miss? Did Wayne try to ravish you, miss?
Christa
No, there... there is a rat. [That puts Barry and Moxey back on edge!]
GWGerman worker
Meine Damen, hätten Sie Lust was zu trinken, heute Abend? (Ladies, would you like to come out for a drink tonight?)
Nein. Wir haben schon was anderes vor. (No. We've already made plans.)
GWGerman worker
[Blocks the door] Aber, komm schon. Ich beisse nicht. (Come on, I don't bite!)
Christa
Nein, wirklich nichts. (No, really nothing.) [Christa enters the office.]
GWGerman worker
Ja, ja. Zu beschäftigt mit den verdammten Engländern. (Yeah, yeah. Too busy with the bloody English!)
Christa
Hello, Wayne.
Erm... I brought you a little something.
Christa
Oh... [Wayne presents her with the plaque] Oh, Wayne, it's beautiful. You made it yourself, ja?
Well, y'know, on my union card it says "joiner", but I'm a sculptor, really.
Christa Oh, er... Dagmar, look. Erm... Wayne has made me a paperweight!
No. No, no, it's not a paperweight. It's a plaque, ain't it? Y'know, you're supposed to put it on the wall like, y'know... [Puts it atop the first aid cabinet] ...above your bed, like.
Christa
Oh, of course. Erm... it will look very nice there.
That's all right, then, ain't it? Erm, I wanna fill in one of those forms as well, if you'd give us a hand.
Christa
Which forms?
The, erm... work permits, whatever you call them.
Christa
[Getting up] You're staying?
Yeah. About the only one who is, by the look of it. [Dagmar turns around] Course, erm... a couple of lads haven't quite made their minds up yet, y'know.
Christa
[Getting the forms] You want me to, erm... to write this for you, ja?
Yeah, please, if you would, love. My German never got past Donner and Blitzen.
Christa
[Laughs] Okay. [Grabs a pen] Please, your full name.
Look, you do know why I'm doing this, don't you?
Christa
[Smiles back at Wayne] I think I can guess.
Right... It's Wayne Winston Norris.
