Stop! Freeze!

Stop! Freeze!

Mr. Schwarz, you've got yourself into quite a mess there. I am delighted.

Oh, hello, Mr. Krause! Why the stern tone?

Me? But I didn't do anything!

You're in deep trouble.

Well, your loss, Schwarz. Not even Grundig can help you.

Are you playing a trick on me? What is this?

The forbidden device you had in your office ...

I know. You think the walkman is great, you don't understand why it should be forbidden, your daughter would like to have one ...

I see. But... I don't have a walkman! I don't even listen to music!

And even if I had one of those things, I wouldn't be stupid enough to keep it in my office.

Grundig ... that would be a possibility.

Everyone you've met so far?

But you arrive here and have already been promoted twice in such a short time.

We will see, Mr. Krause.

We will. And Schwarz ...

The bill for your misdemeanor, of course, I give it to you without any hard feelings ...

What kind of forbidden device? I do not know anything about it.

Yeah, sure. Of course, Mr. Schwarz.

I - that does not matter at all here!

I still don't understand ... what does all this have to do with me?

Hmmm. You're acting even dumber than usual. You really don't know anything about it, do you?

I don't know what you're talking about. Will you finally tell me what's going on?

The walkman is a small portable device that can play cassettes.

With it you can listen to music everywhere. Even in the subway!

A technical breakthrough - but as forbidden as your taste in ties.

That's what you say.

That's what I said!

The only trouble is, the security service got a tip-off and searched your office as a result.

And in the process, they found the walkman.

And now you are in trouble.

What? But that's absurd! Someone must have planted that thing in my office!

Again!

Again?

What do I do now? When my wife hears that ...

You've got them wrapped around your finger since the music reform.

But who does that? Who wants to screw me over like that?

And each time, someone has been kicked out to make room for you!

Colleagues must be worried if they are up next ...

... and they have beaten you to it. And now you are done!

Yes?

This is exactly why black market prices are going through the roof right now!

What kind of walkman? And how do you know the black market prices for it?

And my day just got a little better with this.

Someone is trying to frame me!

Thanks for the advice.

That's really not what I meant. You' re done, Schwarz!

You're just getting on my nerves.

... and served! What a wonderful day, don't you think?
