"Calm down a bit, King Kong!" "It was a cool poster." "Do you think so?" "Johnny didn't." "Especially as it's true." "Robert, you're exposed." "I'm not!" "I'm just kidding." "Eddie's my favorite teacher." "What if he loses his job?" "I bet you're dreading it a bit." "One year Dad did the Christmas entertainment." "Boy, did I dread that." "I understand how you feel." "Is everyone ready for class, today?" "Where's Irmelin?" "She's sick." "Eddie and I will take you." "Typical of Irmelin to get sick." "Typical of Wenche to take the job." "Johnny?" "be brave." "Everyone thinks Eddie's the best teacher." "They say that now, Yes." "We say forever." "Bank Robber" "A few days ago some posters were put up at school." "What is written there... is true." "4 years ago I robbed a bank." "I was arrested, convicted and ended up in jail." "That's the stupidest thing I've done." "I have regretted it every day." "I'll try to explain what happened." "6 years ago... my wife, Johnny's mother, became very sick." "She got a type of cancer and the doctors couldn't do anything." "No matter what kind of treatment we tried, it didn't help." "One day we arrived at a clinic in Switzerland." "They had a special cure that might help." "But it was at a private hospital, and I didn't earn that much money." "We had no savings, and couldn't get a loan." "So... we couldn't afford it." "One day after visiting Mona in the hospital, I was in a bad state," "I saw a bank in the hospital area." "I don't know what came over me." "You robbed the bank?" "Are you a bank robber?" "A rather unsuccessful one." "I was even arrested." "If you hadn't been arrested, what would've happened to her?" "Oh no!" "When one is so sick, nothing can help." "I just didn't realize it then... unfortunately." "If it had helped, it would've been ok." "I mean in this case." "When I saw how scared he was behind the counter... when I threatened him." "I realized how wrong it was." "Did you have a weapon?" "No, but he didn't know that." "I could have had a gun, for all he knew." "How were you arrested?" "Stuck in a car." "The cops came after me, and so I drove straight into a brick wall." "I'm glad you survived." "If it hadn't been for the seat belt." "What happened to Johnny's mother?" "She died a few months later." "After a while there was a trial." "And I got 3 months imprisonment." "And one year suspended." "For those three months Johnny lived with his aunt." "If you have any more questions, just ask." "If your parents want to know anything further, tell them to just ask." "Okay?" "All right, all right." "That's enough." "Enough!" "Did you see Wenche Eriksen when we clapped?" "She was really annoyed." "Poor you." "It's hopeless, Johanna." "It isn't." "The witch is back." "Laying her evil snares." "Calm down." "I'm trying to think." "Oh, Johnny, Johnny." "Will you never open your eyes?" "Johnny needs someone he can trust." "He won't get that with Mette." "Eddie needs our help, not Johnny." "It's Eddie we should be helping now." "Okay, we'll help." "Come on." "It couldn't have gone better, Johnny." "The whole class think Eddie is totally boss." "And kind and brave." "You probably get it from him." "And Mette was all over you." "If the Terminator fires him, she'll get big trouble." "We'll make a petition in class." "Don't not fire Eddie." "In our class, too." "Reka and Konrad are behind it." "Mostly Reka." "Ah..." "Is Eddie home?" "I want to say, I'm sorry about the poster." "He's not back from school." "It was true, what it said." "Eddie said so in class." "So It's crazy that I have to apologize." "Did you hurt yourself?" "What the hell do you care." "Don't worry, Robert." "You shouldn't have told anyone." "You told my mom and Terminator." "They guessed it." "You got me in trouble." "Your loser!" "Hi!" "Hello?" "Hey, hey, hey." "Are you sick or something?" "Do you want to sign it?" "Against firing Eddie." "Almost everyone's taking part." "I don't know if Mom and Dad agree." "Nor mine either." "Wanna sign?" "Okay." "I'm for him." "I can go on the petition too." "Just tell me where to go." "Yes..." "Great!" "But maybe it's a little difficult." "Reka's the leader." "Together with me." "Fine." "You aren't the best of friends." "Does it matter?" "You're very understanding." "Hi." "Can you sign here?" "What is it?" "Against firing Eddie." "Why should I sign?" "Got my arse kicked because of him!" "Robert?" "Robert!" "Who is it, Robert!" "?" "If it's someone selling something, say we're not interested." "No, Mom." "It's nothing!" "Go... bye." "Hello!" "Hey!" "What's going on here?" "Your favorite dish." "Served by your lovely children." "I mean son and stepchildren." "Sorry." "It's all right." "Al this celebration for confessing to a crime?" "It must have been a glorious confession." "They say that all the students will insist on you as a teacher." "Maybe the worst is over." "The Board of Governors and Teacher Council will decide." "What's the Board of Governors?" "Those who decide school policy." "There are some differing opinions." "Who has divided opinions?" "Some local politicians, some teachers and some parents." "Who, then?" "Wenche Erichsen for example." "From the parents, then?" "There's Gustav, among others." "Dad?" "Gustav...!" "I think I have a plan." "A plan?" "Hi, Dad." "Sorry I'm calling a bit late." "I was just wondering about something." "Secret Agent" "Hey." "I'm off then." "Are you moving?" "Only for a few days." "Where?" "To Dad." "I'll see what it's like to be there a little longer." "I think not." "It's not allowed to miss one's Dad." "I've already talked to him." "When are you coming home?" "After the meeting of the Board of Governors." "Bye." "Is that a good idea?" "Do you want to keep Eddie, or not?" "Dad, you and I must talk seriously." "Yes, you're right." "About Eddie." "I know it's a big disappointment for you." "That Eddie could betray you like that." "You, who've lived in the same house." "I survived it just fine." "I never wanted you to live in a house with a criminal." "It wasn't me who wanted a divorce." "And then Line finds herself a so and so." "He's made up for it." "Made up and settled down." "Everyone loves him." "He's clever." "He mustn't stop being a teacher." "I can't do anything about it." "Yes you can." "You're running the board." "No, not quite." "Yes, but this isn't a matter for the Board of Governors." "He hasn't read the case documents." "Now just cut that out." "Go on." "Go and get changed!" "Here." "Make sure that Eddie doesn't get fired, ok?" "I'll have a look." "Was that really why you came here." "And that's all?" "No, I've come to visit my dad too." "But when I saw the envelope and came to open it, then..." "Well, what do you say?" "Well..." "You must have an opinion." "Get changd into some other clothes." "Reka, it's Johanna." "You must help me." "I don't know what to do." "Just kidding." "I'm practicing to influence Dad." "It's been pretty rough." "Tears and all." "Oh fine." "How's it going with the petition?" "Mette?" "Is it stressful, the thing with her?" "Reka, I'll sort something out when this is over." "Just you and Johnny." "I promise." "Now I have to concentrate on my sad face again." "I'll increase the pressure in the morning." "Bye." "Do come in." "Thanks, is it okay?" "It's not forbidden to come and visit." "Yes, that's true." "What's Johanna done now, then?" "It's not Johanna." "The case of Edward Arnesen will be referred to the board." "I have great respect for Eddie." "Massive respect." "He's shown that one can draw a line over the past." "I wish he could continue, but I don't think it's right." "It's best to get a new substitute." "I'm not going to have a convicted person as a teacher." "Completely the wrong signal to give to parents and local politicians." "The kids like him, yes." "Yes, that's true." "But is it right that they should have a criminal as an ideal?" "Is it?" "It's perhaps not entirely ideal." "Would you like a glass of wine?" "Yes... but are we agreed then?" "It's certainly good." "You're very welcome." "Bye." "If everything goes to pot this evening, we can always open a guest house." "Anders is coming to town." "I wonder if he can stay here until further notice." "Here?" "Anders?" "Johnny's cousin is 19 and will be going to music college." "Maybe he and Katrine could share the basement?" "Yeah, a good idea." "Maybe a little too good." "But perhaps Calle's spare room?" "Okay, then." "Cool." "Do you know who was with my dad last night?" "All nice and cosy." "No." "Wenche Eriksen." "She and your father aren't...?" "Disgusting." "Were they kissing?" "Ugh, no." "She came because they're both on the Board." "She was trying to influence Dad." "She wants Eddie fired!" "The bitch." "Did she come and make herself attractive just to affect Gustav?" "A bad thing to manipulate like that." "Particularly when one looks like her." "I can't understand anyone finding her attractive." "But what shall we do?" "I shall certainly cry so it shows." "Wait a minute, I have an even better idea." "Really?" "At least more fun." "Ceasefire until Eddie is saved?" "Yeah." "Sure." "May the best one win." "Those two girls circle around you like flies around fly-paper." "I haven't time for girls now." "Dad might lose his job." "But if all goes well, I have my little plans." "Young lady plans." "Where are you going?" "To ask about something." "Oh, okay." "I don't know what the Board is thinking... or what they'll decide, Johnny." "It could still go either way." "Can't you influence them?" "A little." "But if I press them, it could be counterproductive." "My sister..." "I mean my stepsister, and some others are collecting signatures to try and help Dad." "That's good." "Ask them to bring their petition and deliver it just as the meeting begins." "Do you think it could help?" "Who knows?" "Hard to say." "I can't promise anything." "But do you think it might?" "Yes." "Hey, it's not Armageddon." "Not far from it." "Hey, we have food and shelter and each other." "I'll get myself a job." "You have a job!" "How's Johanna doing at Gustav's?" "Wenche Erichsen was round there." "Why doesn't she come to me if Johanna's done something wrong?" "According to Johanna, she's on the board." "She wants Gustav to vote to fire dad." "She attempted to use charm, according to Johanna." "Huh!" "Charm?" "It had an inkling that the sour old hag was mixed up in this as well." "She thinks she has Gustav in her palm." "Where are you going?" "Out!" "Is it always so formal at meetings of the Board of Governors?" "If you are well dressed, you get respect." "There's a lesson for you, there." "Are you going out like that?" "I sure am." "Where are you going?" "To band rehearsal." "Band?" "What band?" "Mine." "Eddie's arranged it so that we can practice in the dining hall." "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie..." "Dad?" "There's something I want to say." "So say it, then." "I don't know if I can." "Oh, poor you." "Therefore, I've tried to say it here." "Dad, please." "You must save Eddie." "You are the only one who can." "What is this?" "I have a brother, and he'll be taken from me again." "Now Dad, you respond." "Now's your chance." "That's enough." "Now!" "This is going too far." "Who is it?" "We're a group of parents who've become involved in the matter... of the criminal gym teacher." "I wondered if you want to sign." "Dad, don't do it." "Can I come in with the list?" "No, it's a bad time." "This issue is complicated." "It's really got folks worked up." "It's good that someone keeps a cool head." "Yes..." "What is it now." "Can we come in?" "Who is it?" "Peter and Kari." "Peter and Kari." "Do you know any children by that name?" "Yes..." "What can I do for you?" "We wondered if you would sign to say that our teacher shouldn't leave." "Absolutely not." "Out!" "I told you he was mad, Peter." "Dad, the meeting begins soon." "Hello?" "Yes, hello." "Hi." "Thank you for last night." "The door was open." "You're welcome." "Oh sorry." "Am I interrupting something?" "Yes!" "Johanna..." "Yes Dad?" "Come in, please." "Okay" "Gustav!" "Hello!" "The door was open." "Did you try knocking?" "It was a bit crowded." "How unexpected." "Nice to..." "Nice?" "If you vote to throw out Eddie..." "There's secret ballots in this country." "Not in the Board of Governors." "If you don't save Eddie now..." "If you won't take responsibility..." "Cut it out, Johanna!" "Kolbein, first name Calle." "I'm a retired musician." "What was that?" "I was just doing someone a favour." "Can you go now, I'll come eventually." "Why do I have to leave." "Can't we go together?" "Can you leave the house, or do I have to call the police?" "Do what you think is right." "So here we are again." "Never a dull moment." "I'll just open up." "Here you are." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Wait a minute." "Dear Principal Grønlund" "Principal Grønlund." "Not Terminator?" "We'd like to deliver this." "It's a petition." "Everyone wants Eddie to stay." "Do the right thing." "Here." "I'll personally put them forward." "It's a straightforward business, then?" "Is everyone here, so we can get started?" "Welcome." "What was that?" "Wasn't that your mobile?" "No." "It can't take this long to figure out that you're an honest man." "Probably Wenche Erichsen is making everyone sick." "Hello, Eddie here." "Yes." "Yes." "I'm listening." "Yes." "Is that right?" "Mom!" "Eddie!" "Yes!" "It seems somebody else has heard the news... bye." "What did they decide?" "I get to keep the job." "It shouldn't be held against him that he's been convicted," "If he was applying for new positions." "I just knew that everything would be okay!" "Congratulations, Dad." "Dad said that the decision was due to two things." "One was our petition." "Really?" "Yeah." "Thank you very much." "Thanks to the help of Konrad and Reka." "And Mette." "What was the other thing, then?" "Gustav supported me." "He made a speech that turned the whole mood." "The door was open." "Honest." "Is it true that you don't have to leave, after all?" "Yes." "So I didn't do anything with the posters?" "No." "Sorry, mac." "Can I sign too?" "Certainly." "Thanks." "You just get better and better." "Must practice a bit before Anders arrives." "Are you as happy as me?" "I think so, yes." "I just had to." "Is Johanna in her room?" "She's writing her diary." "A tribute to Gustav." "Finally, she also has reason to to be proud of her Dad."
