Man (reading) Look at that. They're closing two out of three Protestant churches in Opladen.
Woman Two out of three? That's a lot. Which ones are those?
Man Lützenkirchen and soon Quettingen and then only the old Bielert church remains in Opladen.
Mrs Lützenkirchen? That's where you were confirmed, wasn't it?
Man Yes, exactly. The desecration was last week.
Woman Desecration? How profanation? What is that? Do they stand there and say dirty things?
Man Or piss on the walls, I don't know. (looks at the newspaper again) Oh, I just saw: it's called "deconsecration" and not "desecration". (shrugs his shoulders, continues reading)
Ms What is happening to the churches?
Man The property in Lützenkirchen is sold and the church is probably demolished, after exactly 50 years.
Ms After 50 years, the future is history for this church.
Man That's almost philosophical. Is that from the nail vapour?
Mrs. Yes (holds the nail varnish bottle out to him) Smell it and your consciousness will expand.
Man (contorts his face) Stay away from me! (looks at the newspaper again) It says here that the money will probably be used for the renovation of the Bielert Church. The roof is broken and the floor has to be completely redone because of the flood damage. That costs over 4 million.
Woman But this is an expensive romance.
Man Huh? Why romance?
Mrs. Well, the church is primarily needed for romantic weddings, large family celebrations such as baptism and confirmation and for festive Christmas.
Man So is the church just some kind of event agency for people like Lindner?
Mrs Patrick Lindner, the singer?
Man Christian Lindner, the politician!
Mrs. Booh, you are smart. You are so smart, you can even sh...
Man (interrupts) Hello?! Close the nail polish...
