Or at least the basics since I can't remember everything.
My phone rang while I was sitting at the dinner table, it was Svenja. I answer it and hear muffling and her voice in the background.
Then I hear a male voice saying: "Hello? Rabi? Wie gehts?" and I'm like: HUH? but not actually surprised because Svenja promised that she would get one of the actors to call me if she gets the chance. So I run out of the room into the garden, breathing.
"I'm great, thank you. Who is this?" - although I already knew it was Jim because he spoke great German but his voice sounded so different.
"Well, this is one Jim Beaver, you maybe know me..."
And I'm like: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!
He asked me again how I was, I said again, great. Then I asked him how he was and he said he was really good.
"Do you enjoy Germany?"
"Yeah, you really don't sound surprised at all that I'm calling you!"
"No, well my friend promised she would try to get someone to call me."
"You have really awesome friends then."
"I do. I wish I could see you and Misha and Mark in person!"
"Ah, let me tell you. Me and Misha and Mark, we're not really special (then saying something funny I couldn't understand but I heard Svenja laughing in the background). Where are you?"
"I'm stuck in Ireland."
"Stuck in Ireland? Woah, you should have come with me then!"
"I know right? I read on your twitter that you were in Dublin."
"I was. We really should have arranged something. Is that an Irish baby crying in the background?"
laughing "No, that are my neighbors jumping on the trampolin."
"Really, your neighbors jumping on the trampolin. (more laughing from Svenja) It sounds like an Irish baby. Why are you in Ireland?
"I'm an aupair here. Looking after two children."
"And you couldn't stuff the kids away for the weekend?" (more laughing. at this point I wanted to cuss but didn't)
"No, I don't think their parents would be very pleased with me then."
"That's true. I'm truly sorry you couldn't be here. I wish you were here."
"Thank you, I appreciate that."
"Hopefully next time they have a convention in Germany and hopefully I can be there again!"
"Yes, next time I will be there for sure."
"Or we come to you to Ireland!"
"Hell yes. I'm gonna invite all of you over here!"
Jim laughing, then: "That's a plan. Where in Ireland are you?"
"About an hour from Dublin."
"That's great. It was very nice talking to you. I wish you could've been here."
"Thank you so much for your call. It totally made my day. Thank you!"
"It was a pleasure. Auf Wiedersehen."
"Bye Bye."
Then he hung up on me and Svenja called me 2 mins later because he hung up.
THIS IS BETTER THAN BEING ON THE PHONE WITH IAN MCKELLEN!!!!!
