Why don’t you listen to Peter Falk describe the little joys of life and maybe you’ll calm down

Important context for this scene: Bruno Ganz is an angel who has to listen invisible to the thoughts and desires of Berliners. Actual Actor Peter Falk is a fallen angel who fell and became human because the little joys of mortal life — hot coffee in plastic cups and pencil lines and warm hands — are too good to just watch as an observer.
