Damn Shit!
Women spend an average of 76 days of their life...
...trying to find something in their handbags
I'm starting to understand the problem!
And, what are you looking at?
Just be glad that you're not stuck in this bag...
...where a bottle of perfume had leaked out ages ago!
Believe me, that is... shit!
Truly shit!
(Ina) How late is it?
(Johanna) Eight thirty
Oh...
...eight thirty
Shit!
Chocolate?
Yes
I made breakfast all by myself!
Hanni, that was the Welcome-Cake for my new boss!
No!
What did you find out about him?
He's the kind of man for whom work is life...
...who has made millions in sales with action figures...
...sold along with fast food.
If he can not help us, then...
Ah! Welcome to Spielfeld!
Hello, Mr. Kaiser! Andreas Feldt. I am very pleased!
Good day!
Yes
Yes, let the games begin, Mr. Feldt!
Very good, Mr. Kaiser. Please come with me.
But it's still big enough for your boss?
The numbers speak for themselves, unfortunately.
If this continues...
I will have to dismiss most of my staff...
Dismiss them, yes
We've all poured our hearts into this company for over 50 years
And now you're facing a heart attack
But I won't let it go that far!
Oh excuse me, may I present:
Mr. Kaiser, Ms. Berger.
Ms. Berger takes care of product development and marketing.
Ahem. Product and brand-management
I imagined you older
I imagined you more successful, Ms. Berger
Yes, yes, our only hope is Chinese investment in our company
Yes
We must present something on Saturday...
...that cracks the Yellow Egg!
I have a few designs I'd like to show you
Thank you, Ms. Berger, we don't need that right now.
I was on the phone with Mr. Chin; we know each other well.
He's only in Germany for the weekend
I'll use this chance to schedule a meeting
Very good, Mr. Kaiser.
They really are our last hope!
If you really are as good as your reputation, and...
My reputation has not even noticed how good I actually am
Neither has my accountant!
Mr. Feldt, my fee is not negotiable!
Yes yes yes, I know, I know
Good! Then we'll give this place a spotless make-over!
Publicly!
Mama, gym class is only in the Fifth hour!
Come on, a bit of exercise does us all good
A bicycle would be even better exercise
Oh, Hanni! We can not afford a bike at the moment
Can not, or don't want to?
At the moment ... both!
That's why I baked the cake
I wanted to make a good impression with my new boss
Maybe I'll find better job prospects with him, you know?
You'll surely impress him greatly!
Bye! ...... Bye!
I love you!
The latest research has shown that...
Nice office? ...... Excuse me?
Nice office!
Thank you! What I wanted to say, the latest research has...
If you move your things after work...
...we'll lose less time, Ms. Berger
I'll have to get used to your sense of humor
Mr. Feld says you'll support me in everything
Was he wrong about that?
Did he say so?
Yes
I don't think so
It's like in soccer
The Playmaker is always located...
...in the middle
I am the Striker
On the bench
I'm not your secretary
Ms. Berger
MS. *BERGER*
Please come with me
Where is my typist?
A cordial welcome... to Spielfeld!
I don't know when you're to start...
but since everyone else starts at 9 AM, I guess by...
Nine?
Nine. Yes.
If you don't feel like working, Miss...
Hoffmann
I can quickly find someone else, no problem
It won't happen again, I promise
I take you at your word. Oh, and Miss...
Hoffmann
Fetch me something to boost my blood sugar levels...
...a piece of cake or something
A cake! Why is the whole world against me today?
Please make me a couple copies!
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Feld said yesterday...
...from now on I will only work for Mr. Kaiser
What? ...... Yes
Good! I hope you'll enjoy being Mr. Kaiser's maid!
Thank you ...... Yes. Please
One question: Are you coming tonight, too?
Where to?
Mr. Kaiser has invited a few people to his home
My mistake ... Important people!
Miss? I must ask you please, to pick up Johanna immediately!
Of course. I'll come as soon as possible
Thank you
Goodbye
I don't care if she's sick
Yes?
If she's not dead, I expect her on time tonight.
One moment
Yes?
Pardon me, sorry
No! say it. Say it.
My daughter's school just called...
Ah, you have a daughter?
Yes. Hanni. Actually, Johanna. She vomited just now, and...
I don't want to know the details
One moment
So, therefore, I...
Hello?
Hello!
He hung up
Excuse me, Miss...
Hoffman. Ina
Ina! ...... Yes
Of course! Get your daughter!
Thank you
And you know what? Take the rest of the day!
Yes, children are not only our future, they are also our customers
But that's not necessary, I...
I insist
Oh, what are you doing tonight?
Me? ...... Mm hm
Nothing much
I'm throwing a small party
It would be nice if you come
I'll come! Ah, I would really like to come
See you this evening!
Yes
See you tonight, then!
I'd rather have gotten sick during math, but what will be, will be
Hanni, I'm so sorry! Real breakfast tomorrow morning, I promise
Yeast dumplings?
I was thinking more like cereal
They're cute! And so small!
They were bred to be small
And you, too, huh?
Hanna! I'm sorry, Mr. ... Abraham
It's all right! A curse is upon me
Upon me, too, after last week's math test!
How may I help you?
I'm looking for a boss for my fish
Uh, I'm looking for a fish for my boss!
He has an empty aquarium in his office, and I thought...
What kind of a man is your boss?
Hm, Well, he's...
An unreasonable demand
Unreasonable demand? ...... Bullshit
Bullshit! Right!
There is nothing here that we could present to the Chinese
Sorry, it is nice, but outdated
And what do you want to present to the Chinese?
Something that I've also sold to the fast food people
Cheap junk?
Six million in sales
What I mean is a feeling...
...a sensation...
...being part of something huge...
...something extraordinary
That's why we need a new product
A completely new toy... In five days
A toy... a great experience!
Ladies and gentlemen...
...Jack Stinger!
Tomorrow I want to see what he looks like from the front
So, face, outfit... is that clear?
Thank you
No idea, I do not know him...
I don't know what to make of him
What would you wish of him?
That he sees my potential; gives me a chance
But, first he's impossible...
...and then he's back to being totally nice!
I'm just afraid that nothing will change with him
Do you understand what I mean?
I think I have just the thing for you!
Are you sure this is the right thing?
Yes!
This is exactly the right fish
Fish? You give your new boss a fish?
Well, he has this empty aquarium in his office, and I thought...
Yes, and how is he?
No idea. It's just a fish
I meant your boss!
I don't know
Is he handsome?
Hm?
Yes, he's handsome
Very much so.
Yes, it's about time that you...
...you know what!
Jobwise, I mean!
Here! This is what I like.
Tha's what I want to do.
Drawing. If he would even look at my other drawings...
...then he'll see that there's more to me than just a secretary...
......or waitress!
Yes, without you as a waitress...
...I would have to close up shop...
...my sweet little best friend.
I love you
Oh! ... My fault!
Thank you for taking care of Hanni
Yes, I can only hope that she doesn't guzzle all my beer, again
Not today. She was already sick
Hey! Don't forget this!
Oh! my dress!
Better than an apron!
Oh, great, right on time!
For your aquarium
Yes I should actually get rid of that
Oh, you don't like...
You couldn't have known
But, I'm glad you could come, Miss...
Hoffmann
Yes. So this is the kitchen
Danke...
...for helping me out
One of the waitresses got sick...
...and the other two desperately need your help
You see how crowded it is here
You invited me to wait tables?
No, of course not!
I invited you...
...because I can rely on you 100%
Doctor
Hello?
Miss Hoffman!
We're thirsty!
A spritzer please, with extra splashes
Coming right up!
Nothing serious has happened
There's a dustpan in the kitchen
Shards bring luck...
...but please do not look for it here
Excuse me?
At first I thought, yes, you are a...
Then I thought, you are...
But no, you are simply a...
...selfish
autocratic
arrogant
handsome
successful
giant ...... asshole
Not huge. So small, with a hat!
Are you done?
Now I am
Good
You're fired
You can't fire me. I'm just helping here
As my secretary
Oh! This is shit.
Mr. Kaiser!
Ms. Berger
When the guests are gone...
I'd like to discuss the presentation strategy together
There is no together, Simone
You failed the company over the past few months...
and now I'm here to bring it back in order
You can then say thank you in a less personal way
Oh, are you...
"...still here."
Ph, men! Even the straight ones are divas nowadays
Oh, just look at it as a chance for a totally awesome fresh start
Paul!
At the moment I see it as a chance to be on totally awesome welfare
Cheers!
Then you must apologize to him
Apologize? For what? I was right!
Yes, but that doesn't matter
Ina. Sweetheart. Pay attention!
Such types like it when you let them feel that they were right
and that's why you're going to apologize tomorrow morning
And at his home, before work
OK?
Outside the company, bosses are in fact only human
Never
Go away!
I just intended to...
Miss Hoffmann?
Yes?
What...
What are you doing here?
I wanted to... apologize to you
You know, I need this job desperately...
I would do anything to, um...
Anything?
Well, anything that's legal and moral, of course
Ok, good! Come on in. The keys are under the doormat
How original
Hello?
I'm here!
But, but, watch your step!
Listen, about yesterday, I wanted to...
Yes, it's fine
Can you give me a hand up?
I'm down here
Hi! Can you give me a hand up?
Are you ok?
Are you standing on my breasts?
Just in case I had to administer CPR
What is it?
Have you never seen a half-naked man before?
Not like this
Well, if you would be so kind as to call the office for me
and put it on speaker
Sick?
For God's sake!
I hope it's nothing serious?
No, no, no, nothing serious
But contageous
Mr. Kaiser
You understand that I'm getting a bit nervous
In five days...
...we present this new toy, this...
..superhero, this, ah...
Jack Stinger
Yes, that Jack be ready for presentation.
I don't need to explain to you again what's at stake.
Mr. Feldt, do not worry, everyone knows what to do.
This afternoon, I expect the first drafts...
...for Jack Stingers face and first outfits
I'll send my assistant to view them.
Additionally, as long as I am bedridden...
...my assistant will have the authority...
Mr. Kaiser
I am not your assistant!
Of course not, Simone.
I meant Miss Hoffmann!
Who, me?
Ehm, we'll talk
He hung up
Yes, you
You want me to take over your responsibilities?
No, no, of course not
I want to do it myself
I have never failed
And I don't intend to start today...
...just because I'm a little unwell!
However...
...if I don't get the Chinese on board on Saturday...
...it will break my winning streak
Can't you do it over the telephone?
Phone it in?
No no no no!
Just...
Now, stop the shaking in your voice...
No one expects you to play the boss.
However...
if you don't establish yourself as a leader from the start...
then you leave the company running around like cats in heat.
But, I...
So, are you in, or not?
I don't know if I can
You don't know if you can...?
Miss Hoffmann
Yes?
I'm not a woman
I don't need foreplay...
...before we get down to business
You are here because you wanted to apologize to me,
...so I'll retract your dismissal...
...and you can keep your job, right?
Yeah, but...
Normally I like to screw people like you over...
...but my situation is just a bit complicated
and I can't show up at the company like this.
So, you appear in my place
And if...
And I'll pay you a one-time bonus.
So, congratulations! You're rehired!
No
What do you mean, "No"?
No
I don't want money, I want a chance to prove myself
Excuse me?
Listen, I have ideas for new toys.
I don't want to spend my life...
brewing coffee and making copies
I...
That's good
If you do a really good job...
...then we'll work together to develop something
I promise!
Deal?
Hey! Be careful!
Deal
Let's go
Um...
Miss Hoffmann!
Yes?
Do I need to make myself a parachute or something?...
but only down to the front door of the building
Once we're outside, I can walk by myself
Boss, boss, wait!
Do you really want her to take over his job?
No
What exceptional luck!
This superhero has developed a cheap plastic doll...
...for a burger chain, as a prize for fat kids!
It's exactly what we need
A huge success!
Shit like this lasts maybe a month!
But if we focus on marketing his toy...
...it will not save the company,...
What happens to us then?
Of course we must make compromises
But, alas...
II hope that this compromise does not cost me my job!
Nonsense!
But he already took everything!
My department, my office, my secretary
What's left for me?
Yes, go ahead!
I can walk on my own!
Stop!
Are you okay?
This light...
Am I dead?
Don't worry. Youi're in my purse.
Which is your car?
Ah, I see it
Oh, man!
How do you drive something like this?
What do we do now?
What?
What do we do now?
I have no idea
I don't suppose you have any growth hormones at your house?
How did this happen in the first place?
Last I recall, I had just gotten up...
You were full size...
Yes. I got dressed, I went into the kitchen...
Still full size...
Still. And then I wanted to drop the fish in the sink...
So I put it next to the sink, and then...
...its eyes lit up, and everything went dark...
The fish lit up?
The eyes...
of the fish ... that you gave me!
And then it got dark...
Have you been drinking?
Yes, of course! Shrink Shot!
And my height is just a really bad hangover!
Listen!
Your fish did something to me!
My...
...fish!
Yesterday, the salesman said something about a curse
I thought it was a joke
Yes, and am I the punch line?
Excuse me...
Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Abraham?
Who?
Mr. Abraham. He sold me a fish yesterday
No one with that name works here
Of course he does
Mr. Abraham!
He's a little man, about as big...
No one with that name works here
And certainly not a... dwarf?
Yes, a dwarf
Dwarf, Dwarf, DWARF!
This...
...is a hands-free phone!
Sewn into the pocket!
They're all the rage!
I'll call back later!
What do we do now?
Now we drive to the office
What about your size?
The fish curse?
We'll worry about that later
Perhaps it will fix itself
Also... Miss Hoffmann...
Get me something to wear?
This handkerchief is making my ass sore
Ugh!
Hey!
(cursing)
Don't think that you can simply lock me in your purse
I'm still your boss
And go easier on the clutch!
Get a better feel for the car!
So once again...
I understand, already!
...we go directly to my office
You hide me where I can hear and see everything
And then get me the documents. And then...
...Hello?
Miss Hoffmann?
Hello!
Miss Hoffmann!
I don't believe this!
Here is the first draft for Jack Stinger's outfit
Mr. Kaiser told me...
... Jack Stinger is supposed to be a...
space police officer
This looks more like a soldier
And this?
A paraqchute
For space?
I'm just a seamstress
Well, I, um...
I'll take that with me, and ...
and me!
Where?
To Mr. Kaiser
I need to talk to him
Tehn, give him a call
I'm just a seamstress
A wedding dress?
I thought you'd like to have a choice
Very funny!
Now, turn around
What do you mean?
I want to get dressed
Okay. Excuse me
It's a bit chilly here.
I don't want to give the wrong impression...
I'm next door if you need help
I do not need help
Why should I need help?
I'm the greatest, I can do everything myself!
Oh! Oh!
It must be at least 60 feet!
Eh...
Hello?
Hello!
Can anyone help me...
...down?!
Did you say something?
Mr. Kaiser?
Help!
Go away! Go away!
Ahh!
Thank you, Mama! I've always wanted a doll that can speak!
Mr. Kaiser....
That's not a doll, he's a dwarf.
I mean, my boss!
I thought he'd be bigger
Indeed!
Help me carry it
Pick it up
Hey!
God damn it!
Maybe he did something bad?
Yeah, sure, that's it.
I was grounded for being naughty!
In any case, you must not tell anyone about it
Promise?
Okay
Nobody
Mmmm
And can you please keep the beast's cage locked?
Okay
Beautiful pictures
Did you paint them?
Of course not! I'm only ten!
Whenever Hanni has a wish...
that we cannot afford right now
I paint it on her wall
And why?
Because a picture is better than nothing.
Well...
Time to brush your teeth.
Go!
The only one who can help me now...
is...
Jack Stinger
Jack Stinger is a genetically engineered superhero,
who is teleported through a portal to an alien planet.
And what will the kids do with the doll?
What do they do?
Go on adventures!
Save the world from the aliens!
Hm, and he's not a doll!
But these are all dolls' faces
That won't work
And what if...
Jack Stinger...
...could talk?
Hah! That was Hanni's idea.
Yes, they give him a command and he responds.
They say, for example: Shoot!
And he replies with an appropriate saying.
What would be an appropriate saying when you fire a gun?
(machine gun sounds)
"I'll shoot you!"
Deeper voice
"I'll shoot between your..."
"500 ugly eyes..."
"you alien scum!"
For example
Well, I think that's quite brutal.
That's what theses heads are missing:
a masculine brutality
What are you drawing there?
Come on, show me! I'm your boss!
I had no idea that you can draw...
...really well!
Thanks!
Uh, emphasize my eyes a little more.
No, no, see it for yourself, alright?
You really have an eye for beauty!
This is just a head.
This is a head with character!
Distinctive!
Interesting!
Handsome!
Determined!
Just as I imagined Jack Stinger!
Really?
I can present you to the Chinese that way, right?
That was a joke
Yes...
but I'm not a doll
I can't go anywhere at all, now.
I can't even get down from this table by myself.
You could move into the dollhouse.
Never
A language module in Jack's size
Sure, it can be done! But not in 4 days
Who had this stupid idea?
Actually, it was my daughter.
Your what?
My daughter
But, Mr. Kaiser would like to have it exactly like that.
He said to me yesterday...
What ails Mr. Kaiser?
Is it something serious?
That would be nice
Did I just say that?
Let us briefly summarize things.
Our company is in the hands of an insane...
high-handed, arrogant asshole
and a halfway talented typist.
Oh!
I completely forgot, a 10-year-old child
Oh!
What the hell?!
Are you crazy?
Is there something in your eye?
No
Didn't you hear what they said about us?
Ach!
I've heard worse
You don't care what they say?
Nope. I'm here to work, not to make friends
Do you have friends?
Do you?
Of course!
One
And you?
Of course
One
The only one I can rely on 100%
Myself
Oh God, that is so sad
No, no, no, no, it's sad that they're still not working out there
Now, can we tell them where they must go from here?
I can't!
You can't let them get under your skin
Good
use the feeling; turn it around on them
They deserve it!
God, you are such a... a...
...little girl!
Okay
Listen here...
Take that spy kit and put the earpiece in your ear
What do you have in mind?
To do my job, what else?
