A Friend of Mine (2006)

Daniel Brühl: Karl

Quotes 

• Geschäftsmann : [first words of the movie]  Ladies and Gentlemen, we're now getting to the long awaited presentation of the "Archer", awarded each year for the most successful product. May I ask up to the stage: Karl Bornwald!

  [Applause] 

  Karl : Thanks a lot.

• Karl : I don't understand. I'm supposed to transfer cars for one day?

  Naumann : Yes. Maybe you should do that for one day.

• Hans : Does one have to sing here?

  Karl : Whatever you do, don't sing. Tell him you're talking to God every night before you go to sleep.

• Hans : Do you know why such a giant big piece of metal and plastic and, what have you, teapots, seats, stewardesses and so on, can fly at all?

  Karl : [indicates]  No

  Hans : Because the travel distance of the air above the wing is longer than underneath.

• Karl : I've been studying theology once.

  Hans : [chuckling]  So you're not allowed to sleep with women.

  Karl : What?

  Hans : Not even touch them, right? Not even pat a little, or grab a bit. Nothing, right?

  Karl : No.

  Hans : No. Not at all, right?

  Karl : Yes yes yes. I only studied it, right? I'm allowed everything.

• Hans : Are you happy?

  Karl : I don't know.

• Hans : Who's waiting for you at home, your girl-friend?

  Karl : Nobody.

  Hans : So, Nobody's her name!

• Karl : The girls are waiting for the bus.

  Hans : Right! These aren't just girls. They're girls Waiting For The Bus!

  Hans : [waving]  Hoohoo!

• Theo : [reading a number plate]  DA-D 9779.

  Karl : That's a palindromic number.

  Theo : A what?

  Karl : Like Anna or Otto. You can read it forwards and backwards. Like "Reliefpfeiler".

• Hans : Stelle just arrived from London. I thought, maybe we could go drink a cup of coffee.

  Karl : I'd like to. Hans, would you lend me your clothes, as long as you're wearing mine?

• Karl : [to Stelle in her stewardess outfit]  Can I try on your uniform, too?

• Karl : Are we friends?

• Karl : Do you think it's "hot" or "top", if I'm kissing your girl-friend?

  Hans : You're crazy about her! But, admit it, you're also a wee bit crazy about me, aren't you?

• Karl : You're funny, Hans. But you don't see the world as it really is.

• Karl : [last words of the movie]  Hey! Burrico!
