I have been talking over speculah thread about the fallout from the quotations selected within this episode...
"Ich bin jung, ich will nicht arbeiten, ich will leben" is shown by the TV thingy, and it means "I don't want to work now! for I am young! ... I will not work! I will only live, live, live". This is a quotation from
John Gabriel Borkman by Henri Ibson.

MRS. BORKMAN.
[With a cry of divination.] Erhart, what will you live for?
ERHART.
[With sparkling eyes.] For happiness, mother!
MRS. BORKMAN.
And where do you think you can find that?
ERHART.
I have found it, already!
