Scene | Samson is feeling tired and wants to take a nap in his hammock, but Uli Von Bödefeld is using it. Samson insists that Bödefeld leaves it at once. Bödefeld tries to say something but is interrupted by Lilo who asks if it's a special day, as Bödefeld is asking if by "special day" she means birthday. Manfred quickly interprets it as it's Bödefeld's birthday, and they all congratulate him. Despite that it's apparently Bödefeld's birthday, Samson still wants him to leave his hammock. The others talk Samson into allowing him to stay in the hammock as a birthday present. Samson can't understand why the only present Bödefeld is getting is from him. | |

Scene | Bödefeld gets more presents; Manfred gives him his hat and Lilo gives him a scarf. Bödefeld starts to think it's quite practical to have a birthday. Samson starts to suspect there's something wrong, as Bödefeld's behavior doesn't add up. Bödefeld quickly gives back the hat, explaining that it's to big, the scarf, as it is too itchy, and the alarm clock since it shows the wrong time. He says that Samson can have the hammock back as well. Bödefeld then tells them that they somehow believed it was his birthday and they are giving him stuff. Samson starts to claim that it was Bödefeld that told them it was his birthday, but he denies it. All he wanted was to relax in the hammock. Manfred wonders how they got the idea that it was Bödefeld's birthday. The others quickly say that it was Manfred that said it first. He quickly accepts it and offers to give them all a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat. |
