Es dauerte einen Moment, bis er ihr antwortete: Nein, ich spreche von... von eurer Freiheit, glaube ich. Von dem Glück, das ihr habt, für euch zu leben und auf alles andere zu pfeifen.

About This Quote

He didn't respond for a moment. He was probably thinking that she was talking about freedom. He thought that she meant that they were free to live their own lives without anyone telling them what to do. He thought she was talking about how much they enjoyed being free to do whatever they wanted, to live their lives the way they wanted, to be who they wanted to be, and not have anyone tell them what to do.

She wasn't really talking about freedom at all. She was talking about happiness. They were happy because they didn't have any rules holding them back.

They could do whatever they wanted, live their lives however they wanted to, and just pfft every other person!
