OK, a scene I didn't care much for is the morning after they go clubbing.  Even though I watch this movie a LOT, I usually skip this scene, probably because to me, it signals the beginning of the end.  It's also another example of Marc being so selfish, this time towards Bettina. 

But still you feel for him, because he's being torn in two directions.  From the scene at the club you can tell his feelings for Kay are deepening; even though it's a very sexy scene, I see more pure emotion coming to the surface - he is falling in love, even though he'll continue to fight it when he's away from Kay.

Any other takes on this one?

morrobay:
Another translation question, please.  

When they're in the men's room at the bowling alley, the subtitles are shown as Marc saying "So.  Now you know."  But I put that into google translate and it doesn't sound anything like what he said in German.  

Is that what he said?

SPOILERS!

BF, I still can't see your messages when I'm logged in so I can't quote you. Annoying!

About your last post: I have sympathy for all three, Marc, Kay and Bettina. Marc didn't asked for this situation either (but a few times I felt so sorry for Kay because of the way Marc treated him).
I should feel  sorry for Bettina in the first place, she lost her partner and she is the one left behind with a baby.
But for some reason I was more touched by Kay's pain and frustration and even Marc's.

The first time I saw a deepening of feelings was the bed scene. To my opinion that was not just sex (like the intimate scenes before: the forest, the scene in the rain) but love.
The scene in the bar is indeed very sexy, they seemed so in love. But beside that, they seemed so relaxed, carefree, happy,  just like the short running scene before they ended up in Kay's appartement. In that scene, the bar scene en the intimate scenes Marc is very loving to Kay. But every time Marc is confronted with reality (in his home situation, at work or even when Kay is making suggestions about leaving home, being gay etc.), things are different and he get's cold and detachded to Kay.
My conclusion: he really does love Kay but he doesn't want to admit to himself or he doens't want to allow himself these feelings, because leaving home is no option. And at that time  a coming out was probably no option too.
It's just too much.
That's why I think what happend with that Gregor guy is positive after all. He admit's his affair with Kay. For me that means he had accepted himself and was ready to be open on it. And with Bettina it didn't work out (it wasn't just Bettina who didn't want to go on, Marc didn't want to either). So in fact all that held him back from a relationship with Kay was gone. The problem was not a lack of feelings for kay, but everything else was in the way.

So, so sieht es aus (if I remember well about the bowling hall scene).

Again there's no literal translation but in English it would be like: so, this is how the situation is.
But I guess know you know is not a bad translation, the meaning is the same.

Just got confirmation from Amazon.com, I should be getting the movie on Saturday sometime.
