“I’m coming home, I’ve done my time / Now I’ve got to know what is and isn’t mine / If you received my letter telling you I’d soon be free / Then you’ll know just what to do / If you still want me, if you still want me / Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree/ After three long years, do you still want me? / If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree / I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me / If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree” (Master, You’re not coughing anymore.) (Yay!) […]
One more knife or… I’m nervous because of this thing. (You look beautiful.) Yeah, I’m just worried about this Knöpfen (button), not about beauty or not. They made it so fragile it can open any time. (Oh no.) And I’m too hot; I don’t want to wear too many things. I have to even wear this because it looks decent.
(Thank You very much, Master, for the [vegan] cheese and the [vegan] ice cream.) (Yes, thank You.) (Thank You very much!) (So delicious!) Maybe we have some more (vegan) ice cream somewhere in the shop or not? Do they have it in the shop? (Probably do have in the freezer, Master.) We can go and take some, but that’s not fair for other people. (No.) (Yes.) (That’s fine.) For the… (We’re fine, Master.) (Thank You, Master, thank You very much.)
At least I’m not contagious, so I want to tell you. OK? (No. Don’t worry.) “I’m God,” she told me. (You are God! Yes!) (We are beyond contagious.) As if I believe it. But still, I don’t want to touch it because sometimes I cough, and my saliva goes in there, so both of them will do it. You cut these also when you finish that. Here, you have some from me. What [do] you need? Here, for her also. Here, here. (Thank You, Master.) Take it. For me? Thank you, love, I don’t need. Thank you. I am not thirsty. (Yes, here’s Your cup, Master.) For everybody, here for you. (No, no. That’s Yours, Master.) OK, fine. Then, for her, she’s thirsty. And for him, whoever. Listen. (Yes, I needed that. The other one to fill up.) OK. (Yes.) You leave it here until it’s done. (Yes, Master.) And get another one. (Yes.) I like that. Is there another in the kitchen there? (Yes. I’ll fill both of them, and I’ll come back.) OK.
(Anybody want?) If I don’t hold the bread, it should be OK – like this. But we have (vegan) bread in the kitchen, no? Oh, man. What kind of bread? It doesn’t like to be cut. (Scissors?) Oh yeah. But you need it, no? (I’m going to pass these around.) Yeah, yeah, yeah, pass it around, pass it around. Listen. I’m spoiling you, so when you become a Master, you spoil people, OK? (Yes.) I don’t have enough power. (We do. We can do.) You don’t touch the bread; you just cut like that, OK? It (the cough) just looks bad. It’s not as bad as it looks. Then you open this.
You know, maybe I shouldn’t have told you all those scary things, but it’s my nature. I blab, blab, blab all the time. (No. Thank You.) I can’t hide anything. (Thank You, Master. Thank You for sharing.) So, if you have a secret, don’t ever tell me. I can’t even keep mine. (We’re honored that You’re sharing it with us.) (Thank You for sharing, Master.) I’m not sure. (Yes, thank You for sharing.) I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to share, really, but what the heck. (Yes.) Who cares? (We’re friends.) You want to know everything. (Yes.) That’s the problem. (Yes.) Your power is too strong; I can’t resist. I just have to talk. I’m like a machine – zzzzz. They just push a button and “Blab, blab, blab, blab, blab!” (Yes, I’m the same.) Yeah, blab, blab. Here. You take this, you share. Or maybe you better do it for them.
You take them one by one because you have the gloves. (OK.) You put it on one of the breads, and you give them. This is a different (vegan) cheese. (Thank You, Master.) Even if I talk into it accidentally, it’s not contagious. (Yes. That’s OK.) I try to keep my mouth shut, but it just doesn’t. Keeps open[ing] all the time, like an automatic machine. It’s all your fault. (Pass it around.) At this time, any good girl would have gone to bed already. You keep me awake, “party” and this and that.
(Master, when my mother saw You for the first time on the screen – she was 75 at that time – and she just said, and a group was around, she said, “You’re God!” And right away, she became vegetarian.) Wow! (Wow!) Wow! How did she know? (And then I said, “Oh, what did you think before?”)
We have more (vegan) bread in the kitchen, right? (We can taste it without bread.) No, it tastes better with bread. If you don’t want the bread, then you don’t take it. My dog(-people) also eat like that. They don’t need bread, nothing. If I try to put one on top of the bread, she spits the bread out and eats the (vegan) cheese. Oh, sorry, sorry. Maybe he’ll do it for you. Or if you want to taste it alone, just do it then. One slice, or one or two, and give to the next guy. The one on top, you don’t want the bread, then just take it. Take one or two pieces; it doesn’t matter. We have a lot here. You can take more than one; we have a lot.
What’s your name? You want to be my driver or something? ‘Cause you’re on edge. You’re, like, worrying and looking… (He’s a good driver.) You’re a good driver? (Yes.) What are you doing in Poland? (Loving Hut and tennis school.) You opened a Loving Hut? Is it working well? (Yes. It’s been three years that it’s open, and…) OK. (it’s getting better. Now, we’re going to negotiate the lease. So it’s kind of…) Why? They don’t want to lease anymore? (They want to increase a little bit.) Oh, understand. (They got it a little bit lower, but now they want to increase again.) Yeah, when they see the business grow, they do that.
Come here and help open this. Open this. Does everybody have a cup? (Yes. Yes, we do, Master.) Everybody have has a cup? (Yes.) You cut this open, or you go to the kitchen and get some (vegan) bread. And give the cameraman also some. Some (vegan) bread in the kitchen. We always have some. (Yes, in the main kitchen.) You know, the public kitchen – wherever you can get it. Here, cut. Cut open and do the same thing, and pass it out for them. So you can have more than one type. Oh, don’t do that; oh, it’s too dangerous. Is it OK like that? No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, like that. And I have found some in the fridge. (Wow!) I don’t know who ate this, not me. I didn’t even touch it. I didn’t know anything about it. You can maybe break bread with your brother. (Thank You.) Two, one. (Thanks.) Two persons for one. Wow, a lot of garbage. If the Chinese were here, they’d take all this. Yeah! Master touches, and they go home and talk about it.
We don’t have a lot, guys, so… (We’ll share.) I don’t know how to share it. You share. You maybe cut it or break it, (We’ll share.) break into small pieces. (Yes, thank You, Master.) Listen, there’s one piece of bread. Who doesn’t have? You have it? You didn’t have any (vegan) cheese? (We didn’t have.) Here. (Master, that piece is for You.) No, I don’t want it. Thank you, lovey. I really don’t. Oh, there’s so little here. You can give some in here. Yeah, here. Here you are. You enjoy, OK? You share with your brothers, share. You share it because we don’t have enough (vegan) cakes to pass around. That’s good. This is empty, right? (Yes.) (This OK?) Yes. It doesn’t matter.
You put the (vegan) cheese on it. You cut it in half, and you put the (vegan) cheese on it so everybody can enjoy. (Have another knife?) This you can… (I’ll cut it and you put it back.) This you can break also. (You need to cut it the other way.) (You put the cheese.) (OK.) You’re welcome, enjoy. (Pass on. Pass.) No, no, no, you pass individually. If all like that, everybody’s sweat will come all over there, and then after the tenth person, it’ll taste like… (Saltier.) You know what I mean. (Yes. Yes.) Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that is good. There’s one more down here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that. I have just wiped my hands with water and two pieces of tissue. So it’s clean.
“I’m coming home, I’ve done my time / Now I’ve got to know what is and isn’t mine / If you received my letter telling you I’d soon be free / Then you’ll know just what to do / If you still want me, if you still want me / Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, tie a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree/ After three long years, do you still want me? / If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree / I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me / If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ‘round the ole oak tree” (Master, You’re not coughing anymore.) (Yay!) You’ve been praying or something? (Yes! We’ve been praying!) Thank you. (Yes!) “Bus driver, please look for me / ’Cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see / I’m in prison and my love, she holds the key / A simple yellow ribbon…”
Let me do that. You cut this. Oh, this one is no good. Is there anything better? How about this? Too many “children” – have to economize… like that. Give some to the cameramen. They’re drooling on my (camera) lens. (We give to the brother?) Yeah. You’re too busy eating, and you forget praying; that’s why. You see, somebody has to enjoy. Just like somebody has to cook in the kitchen and be sweating over the fire so that the customers outside can enjoy. (Yes.) It’s part of the job. OK? If you keep whining like that, I will never tell you anything anymore. “Master, the sorrow! What can we do?” I don’t mean just your group. So many people, understand? Even after I clean you, there will be newcomers all the time. And even if I clean the whole world, there will always be new babies and new karma. (Newcomers.) Yeah. It’s normal. C’est la vie (That’s life), baby! C’est la vie! (C’est la vie.) Yeah, la vita (life)!
