"And yet it's all that matters." "That's exactly what I sing about." " Karl Kristian, you should prepare." "Out!" "Sebastian, you're in love." "And that's fantastic, right?" "But you'll get hurt on the way." "Isn't that what you've done?" "We're talking about you, not me." "is that her?" "Is it Claudia?" "Yes." "That's what I said." "Excellent." "Answer it." "Answer it, Sebastian." "Come on!" "Go back to her." "It'll work out." "Answer it." "Have a litttle garden and some kids to play in the garden." "That's what it's all about, Sebastian." "Why won't you do as I say, kid?" "It's like looking at myself." "The same jug-ears." "What are you going to do now, kid?" " l should get back to work, but..." "Hey!" "Eva!" " l'm right here, Karl Kristian." "Eva, tell the kitchen that they'll have to do without Sebastian today." "We're leaving now." "Where are we going?" " We're going to the churchyard."

"Get some sleep." "Then get out your best clothes – and take an ice-cold shower." "Then you'll go to the dinner." "Good food." "And some nice wine." "And then you go and talk to Maria – like a man who's made up his mind." "Maybe you should  talk to your wife, too." "Yes, maybe I should." "Asshole!" "You fucking prick!" "Son of a bitch!" "May you rot in hell." "Cheers." "I hate you, you prick!" "The boy is asleep." "Out!" "You can't do it with the other women anymore." "I don't know." " l talk to them."

" Doesn't matter." "In some cases – it's best not to tell anyone." "Hi." "I was wondering – if you could find – some nice clothes for the young lady." "Maybe the dress from Verona." "The one with the waist." "No more, Karl Kristian." "I can't take anymore." "No more." "It's over now." "Completely over." "Please be seated." "And I'd like you to be quiet." "Hi." "In a minute the bells will ring." " We're waiting for the bells." "I remember sitting in the square with my mother." "And the bells rang." "I remember coming home from school as a happy boy." "And..." "And when I got married, they rang." "As well as when I left town." "Mind you, during my whole childhood–- l was staring at a stupid cow." "I felt life had come to a standstill – and that somewhere out there life was passing me by." "Then I got beat up by my father, John the Farmer, as some of you know." "Then I left town." "And somehow that cow in the field was as big as the rest of the world." "But ever since  I've longed for the bells." "Well, they're about to ring." "Please be quiet and listen carefully." "Yes." "In a few seconds." "Now." "I fell asleep to that sound a sa child." "Let's have something to eat." "Cheers." "How long have you been mayor?" "The old gray matter." "It's not what it used to be." "He's eating." "Has he eaten?" "He's eating." "He's eating." "What's up?" "He's eating." " He's eating." "Way to go!" "We did it, boys!" "I'm sorry." "It's because we have to protect ourselves." "Sebastian has been here a lot." "I only want to find out who he is." "I might as well tell you now." "Everyone will find out eventually." "Sebastian is Karl Kristian's son." "Our son." "Karl Kristian's and mine." "Are you okay?" "is something wrong?" " No, don't worry." "Sorry." " Why are you crying?" "What?" " l'm sorry." "What?" " l have to tell you something." "I'll break your neck!" "Let mego!" "Play!" "We'll keep watch." " They won't get past us." "Relax, Sebastian!" "I've got a son." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "It's lovely to be here." "And it's lovelyto come home." "Excuse me have you seen Sebastian?" "No, certainly not." "And I don't wish to." "You're fired." "All of you." "Let me go." "Take it easy!" "What the hell is she doing here?" " Just talk to her." "What the hell are you doing?" "Sebastian, it was a mistake." "Jesus Christ!" "I'm leaving in a minute." "I'll pack my things and go away." "Sebastian you're not stuttering anymore." "No." "What's he saying?" " That smarmy guy is singing." "Who?" " Shut up!" "is that Swedish too?" " Shut the fuck up." "Bye, son." "I don't exist anymore." "Take care." "Claudia?" "Claudia?" "Hey!" "Hi." "What's up?" " Not much." "What are you doing here?" " l just wanted my bag and..." "There you go." " Thanks." "I hear you've gone nuts." "True. I'll come up." "Don't." " Why not?" "Your mom left." "Don't come up." "Who's up there?" " No one." "Can't come up for a glass of water?" " Water." "Thanks." "Claudia." "Goodbye." "Guys, let's pitch in for Sebastian's trip to Copenhagen." "Here come the big bucks!" " Hang on a minute." "I don't know you very well." " Only since kindergarten." "Hand it over." "It doesn't matter." " 8 kroner." "What a tight ass!" "8 kroner." " You see all these bills?" "This one's from Kim." "He doesn't have much." "But they dock my pay, Nick." " Only a 3rd grader gives 8 kroner." "Sorry, S–s–sebastian." " Shut up." "See you." "Take care." " You too." "Seb." "See you." "Take care." "I love you." "Cheers, Sebastian." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Just don't sleep with my parents." "I don't want to talk about it." "Not my mother either." " Cut it out, Sebastian." "Let's just stand here quietly." "I'd like to apologize." "Thank you." " l talked to your mother." "She said you'd be here." "Look..." "Here's my card." "You're my boy." "There's no gettting around that." "Jug-ears and all." "That's what they say." "Would you like to go for coffee?" "No thanks." " An ice cream cone with the works?" "No." " Tea?" "No." "Now you have my card, so..." "Call me if you want to see me." "Yes, I'll call if I want to see you." "You can sleep on my couch – and eat all my food – and beat me up some more." "Whatever as long as you promise to visit me." "You mean a lot to me." "You probably don't understand it." "Yes, I do." "There's one more thing." "What was your name?" "Sebastian." "Sebastian, right." "No stuttering." "Come here." "By the way... I have a little present for you." "Hi." " Hi." "Gino." "The suitcase." "Just a second." "It's a bear." "Take good care of it." "I will." "Off you go." "Subtitles:."
