Neuer:     Hi my name is Manuel Neuer.   

                   Nice to meet you.

Goethe:  Good morning!

                   I am called Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.  

Neuer:     When were you born, Mr Goethe?

Goethe: I was born on August 28th, 1749, in the handsome town called Freistadt Frankfurt.

                   And you Mr Neuer?

Neuer:     [Wow he is very old]   Oh, I was born on 27 March 1986.

                   And what do you do?

Goethe: What I do?

Neuer:     I mean professionally! How do you earn your money?

Goethe: [Does he not know who I am?]                    

                   Alright. My works are known worldwide. I write books.)

                   May I ask the same question?

Neuer:     I'm a football player!

Goethe: Football player? (16)

Neuer:     Yes. A football player.

                   [Maybe he doesn’t know this]  

                   Someone tries to shoot a ball into a square net    …and…      Someone tries to catch                

                   the ball in the net.   

Goethe: Well, that is unknown to me.

                   That sounds so strange. (22)

Neuer: What do you do in your free time? (23)

Goethe: Free time?  (24)

                   Do you mean the time after work? (25)

Neuer:   Yeah, correct.

Goethe:   I…like to travel around the world.

                   I traveled all over  Italy. I was in Venice, Milan, Rome and Naples and many more.

                   And what do you consider doing in your "free time"?

Neuer:     I live for my wife and for football. (29)

                   Do you know that it is easier to travel through Europe today than in your time? (30)

                   Thanks to the "Schengen Agreement". (31)

                   It was an agreement in the year 1985. (32)

Thanks to this we can travel without problems and also share goods with other     countries. (33)

Goethe:  This sounds interesting.  (34)

                   I wish that this would have been possible in my time. (35)

                   But talking about free-time and pleasure …  (36)

Goethe: In my time, I was very popular with the ladies. "Here I am human, here I can be." (37)

                   I was engaged with Lili Schönemann.  (38) 

                   But then, I married my wonderful beloved Christiane von Goethe.         (39)

                   With her I got a wonderful son called August. To my regret she died 10 years later. (40)

Neuer:     Well ... Yes ... my condolences. Well ... so many women ... I do not know what to say. I think I'll remain faithful.

 

Goethe: "We have enough time if we only use it right." (42)

 

Neuer:     Well ...  (43)

                   Yes ... a very nice statement. (44)

 

Goethe: Right? "Where justice becomes unjust, resistance becomes a duty." (45)

 

Neuer:     Another quote from you? (46)

 

Goethe: Doubtless. (47)

 

Neuer:     Okay. (48)

                   Nice. Thanks for the interesting conversation. It was nice to meet you.(49)

 

Goethe: Oh, you're welcome. Nice to meet you. (50)
