"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?" "Hi ..." "It's your caretaker." "What can I help you with?" "You can put these photo copies in envelopes and I'll put stamps on." "Where did the lady from yesterday put that bag with the photo copies?" "The lady from yesterday is me, and I put it on the shelf." "You really don't remember I was here yesterday?" "No." "Many people come here and I have enough to do these days." "There are 62 invitations to send out about the meeting." "Distributing socialistic propaganda isn't exactly what I'm paid for." "You've never done anything more meaningful, I promise." "It's not propaganda, either." "It's pure logic." "I've invented this device   to covert the wasted energy from the fitness center to electricity." "But you have to imagine it 1 ,000 times bigger, like in this drawing." "There's electricity there for over $1 00,000." "Stop!" "You made two folds." "That new copy technique is too expensive." "We'll send the money to the world's needy folks." "Show our solidarity." "You explained that yesterday." "Shall I fetch some juice?" "Tea's so dehydrating." "No thanks, I'm fine." "Damn it!" "Now I have to get to the mailbox by 5 o'clock." "Hi, Gry!" "Excuse me ..." "It's me, Inge." "Hi, Gry." "From evening school." "We sat next to each other and did homework together." "Okay." "You always borrowed my pen and teased me about my ugly pencil case." "It's fantastic how you've made out." "You're everywhere." "Was it banana-shaped with little monkeys on it?" "Yeah!" " I remember that pencil case." "Do you live around here?" " No, I can't afford it." "I'm fetching a hearing aid for a client." "Do you live here?" "Yes." "God, do you work at a rest home?" "No, I'm just a home caretaker." " No!" "How fantastic!" "I have so much respect for people who do that." "I could never clean a stranger's behind." "It sounds dumb, but it's so beautiful there are people like you." "I've got to run along, but it's super-cool meeting you." "Take it easy, Inger." "Bye." "Inge." "Howdy." "I'm chairman of the residents' association." "Hi." "It's strange you've been living here 3 months and we haven't met." "My name's Johnny." "I'm on a disability pension." "What do you do?" "I'm an IT engineer." "It has to do with communication." "Teamworks?" " No, I'm self-employed." "Exciting." "I can see you haven't signed up for our work weekend." "Like my wife said, it's strange the new tenant hasn't signed up." "It would be nice if you came." " I'm so busy." "Can't I just give money?" "It's not illegal to help neighbors in a rich neighborhood." "Okay." "I'll try to find the time." "And a roll of Mentos." "Your code?" " 421 2." "Your code?" " Ghandi." "Hi." " Hi." "What's your name?" " My name's Anja." "You look so sweet with those braces." "You have a fantastic smile." " Five dollars." "Bye-bye." "Hi, sweetheart." "Hi, Kiwi." "Give me a kiss." "Wow, what a lot of nice bills we got, huh?" "Hi, this is Inge, is Michaeles home?" "Inge, Michaeles' ex-wife." "Hi, it's Inge." "Things are fine." "How about you?" "Have you had that scanning?" "A little boy, how lovely." "Congratulations." "I'm calling to hear if you could pay some of the money you owe me." "It's because ..." "No, I'm not being greedy." "I know what it's like to be a minority." "I didn't mean it like that ..." "I'm sorry." "Just give me a call when you think you can pay, okay?" "Good." "What about ..." "Okay, yes." "Bye-bye." "Now Mommy's sad, isn't she?" "Oh, Kiwi, bad boy!" "Mommy's shoe ..." "Yeah ..." "I could see where you lived from the receipt." "Blockbuster's closed, and I can put two and two together." "I'd like to have my own film." "This isn't exactly something for me." "Oh, gee ..." "Just a second." "Hey, little brother, did you get the wrong film?" "Okay, that makes more sense." "My brother's handicapped, and this is his only joy in life   so it's really good we straightened things out." "Goodbye, then." " Goodbye." "I'm sorry." " Sorry?" "I'm sorry if I acted prudish." "I never imagined, in my wildest fantasy   that people still look after each other." "I'm deeply touched." "I have a cousin with brain damage." "Too little oxygen at birth." "She's almost blind and lives in a care facility outside of town." "I feel I've let her down." "It became too much trouble." "I know what you mean." "She has boycotted me totally and I can't blame her." "But I want to make it up to her." "I'd like to talk with a handicapped person." "What's wrong with your brother?" " All kinds of things." "Everything." "He can't even talk, so I don't think it'll work." "How awful!" " Yes, but I have to go back in." "Yes, of course ..." "Maybe we can talk more another day." " Yes, of course." "Fine." "I'm sure we'll run into each other." "Yeah." " Bye." "Bye." "I know she's famous, but still ..." "I considered us as kind of friends." "But she couldn't remember me." "And there's the old man, who doesn't act senile at all." "If only I had a boyfriend ..." "Shouldn't you straighten out your life a bit, first?" "What you need is a partner who's your equal, not your salvation." "Most of all, you've got to learn to love yourself." "Isn't it easier if there's someone else who does, too?" "Were you happy with him, the Greek?" "Yes ..." "In the beginning, in any case." "Until I found out he only wanted to get married to stay in the country." "I never, ever imagined he already had someone else." "And it was his niece." "She was practically a child." "I'm sorry ..." "I'm just rambling on." "I'm sorry." "This has never happened before!" " It's good for you to talk." "Thank you." "If it weren't for my dog, I'd just end it all." "Who has decided you're supposed to play a minor role   in the manuscript of life?" "Play a minor role?" "It seems like you're stuck in a chronic supporting role." "What do you mean?" " That you're always helping others." "Have you chosen this role yourself?" " Chosen?" "You can't go out at night since the dog can't stand to be alone." "It was taken from it's mother too soon." "You must listen to your own needs." "What do you think would happen then?" "I've never ..." "I've never thought about my life like that before." "All this makes me dizzy ..." "It can be a shocking discovery, but we're not finished yet." "Stand up." " Okay." "Go a little bit away." "Then close your eyes   and take a deep breath." "It sounds like you need to clean up your life." "You need to learn to say no." "It's your right." ""No, I won't." "I have to think of myself." Repeat." ""No, I won't." "I have to think of myself."" "I want you to repeat this mantra 8 times a day next week:" ""My name is Inge." "I have a right to think of myself." "I must free myself of what others expect, and look after my own needs."" ""My name is Inge." "I have a right to think of myself." "I must free myself of what others expect, and look after my own needs."" ""My name is Inge." "I have a right to think of myself." "I must free myself of what others expect, and look after my own needs."" "Thank you for today, Inge." "Oh, no, wait a minute." "Well, that's the way it goes." "Have you got it?" "Shall I help you?" "No, just take the vase." "Yes, you can help." "With what?" " It's just that door." "No, just the vase." "And take care, it could be worth a fortune." "This was the best flea market we've been to all year." "I'll have to check." "I'm not sure it's a Bindesbøll." "Please move that little French table." " Sure." "Watch out for the sofa, too." "Good ..." "Wow, that's nice." "It's really good." " Should I look up that vase?" "I think the book's under the coffee table." "Would you put the drawers in?" "Erik ...?" "Erik, should I make some coffee?" "You should say hello to the girls and see the coup I made." "I think I found a ..." "Erik's taking a little nap before his next consultation." "What does it say about the vase?" " It's not a Bindesbøll." "It's a Møller  Bøgely from the 20's." "It's been mass-produced   but it is nice." "ls something the matter, Lea?" "I just don't think I have anything that's worth anything." "It's just all a bunch of old junk." " Nonsense." "Hi, Erik." " Good afternoon, ladies." "I think I could use a glass of milk." "Here, Lea." " Thanks." "Anyone else want a glass of milk?" " No, thanks." "There's an answer from Better Homes  Gardens." ""We have received your photographs   and would very much like to do a story about your house and garden."" "Goodness, Lea." "They're coming in a week!" " And you're complaining?" "It's fantastic." "Congratulations." "Yes, but ..." " Wow." "Ladies ..." " The garden's still not complete." "Won't you have a glass, Erik?" " Never before a consultation." "It's so strangely impersonal here." "Something's missing." "No, nonsense." "Cheers." " Cheers and congratulations." ""My name is Inge." "I've a right to think of myself." "I must free myself of what others ..."" "Kiwi, come here ..." "Come." "Come here." "Here." "Out." "Now, stay there." ""My name is Inge." "I have a right to think of myself." "I ..."" "VETERINARIANS" "A pole-sitting contest?" "I've never heard of that before." "It's very well-known." "It's been held for years." "I heard about it last year, but I didn't have enough self-confidence." "It must be a chilly affair." " Yes, that's part of it." "If you want to hold him, come over here." "He might pee a little when he dies." "I'll just stand here ..." "Where was I?" "Yes." "Nine of us compete, and last year's record was 39 hours." "I must admit I've never heard of it." "The winner was in all the newspapers." "How could someone think it up?" "I've always been known for my perseverance." "There's no limit to what I've persevered." "But my self-confidence has a habit of failing me half-way   so I'm working with myself." "I'm challenging myself and my surroundings and I've quit my job   to escape what's called the manuscript of life." "A lot's happening." "I have to break out of my supporting role and learn to be myself." "I think you should say farewell." " Has he had the shot?" "Yes." "You can stay here a little while and say goodbye to him." "Erik, dear, please don't sit on the furniture until they've been here." "The pillows look so nice." "It's not so good like that ..." "Your record player is in the attic." "It's all I have left from the time we got married." "I don't want to start arguing." "I'm under a lot of pressure, understand?" "They're coming in one week and I'm not ready at all." "Everything's a mess." "You just can't see it." "Can't you sit in the pantry with your red wine?" "Just this one week." " When did it become a pantry?" "It's a storeroom, at best." " Erik ... !" "Okay." "They're going to interview me on my thoughts about decorating." "Like how people gather." "All the cozy nooks we have where you can just be together." "Enjoy some togetherness, maybe." "Tell me, isn't that ...?" "It's a Robert Jacobsen sculpture!" "Just what I need for the garden!" "Actually I was the one who saw it first." "It must be a mistake." " Be good sports now, girls." "I'm sorry, did I hit something?" "What happened?" "It's your tail bone." "I know from sledding." "It hurts, but not for long." "Sit down here." "Just relax, and I'll go see ..." "I'm a bit late." "I had to help someone who was hurt." "I want this one, too." " It's sold." "How much?" " Eighteen dollars." "I'll give fifty." "Hi ..." "Sixty dollars." "No, thanks." "I saw it before anyone else." "ls that the thanks you get for helping someone who falls down?" "How about $1 80?" "$200, okay?" "Honestly, what got into you?" "I'm sorry." "It wasn't on purpose." "What did you think?" "Of course it wasn't." "Give me a break." "Now that thing won't come between us." "TOGETHER WE'RE STRONG BUT HOW?" "SOCIALIST DEBATE FORUM" "Yes?" " I don't want anything to eat." "But it's rare to see a Brunello di Montalcino." "I think I'll try it." "At your service." "Give that gentleman a Brunello." "Why, it's ..." "Hi, Svend!" "This simply can't be true." "It's good to meet you, Erik." "I'm busy organizing a meeting." "I hope a lot of left-wingers come for a cross-political discussion." "But rumor has it you've been very ill since the beginning of the 80's." "I thought you were ..." " Dead?" "No, no." "But I'm arranging this hearing:" ""Theory Converted to Practice:" "Solidarity With the Third World"." "Do you remember my dynamo-gadget experiment?" "It works better than I ever imagined." "There's money in it." "Money that'll go directly to those who need it." "Do you still have that?" " Yes." "Unbelievable." "What have I done with mine?" "It was President Tito's gift to the International Brigade." "One more." "You don't happen to have time to help me hang a banner up, do you?" "A banner?" "No, unfortunately." "Of course." "You're busy with legal aid." "That's important, too." "Yes ..." "That was a long time ago." "I'm actually on my way to a wine-tasting." "You could come along." " No." "Thanks, anyway." "I must set more of these up while the cops are policing the football game." "But you can help me by handing some of these out." "Let's drink a glass together." "Come on, Svend." "You're more than welcome, you and ..." "Lea." "We're still together." " You should come." "We're not the firebrands we once were." "Just a second." "What's that?" "What do you mean?" " It's Mussolini, for god's sake!" "Would you be so kind as to remove it, otherwise we don't want anything." "I'm sorry." "It was meant to be humorous." "For fun." "Charlie Chaplin and our ex-prime minister are there, too." "For fun?" "It's not funny." "A dictator who's guilty of several million deaths?" "Can you see what's so funny?" " Nope." "Remove that bust, or we won't have a drink." "No, it stays there." "I'm not a fascist." "What would you call it?" " Then you'll have to leave." "Yes, that's just what we had in mind." "Yes, thank you." "I, for one, have had enough." "Thank you!" "We're moving fast, aren't we?" "Here we are." "Six steps up and you're ready to go." "A beginner, huh?" "Don't worry, I had problems with the ladder, too." "ls this your first time?" " Uh-huh." "Me, too." "I'm on sick leave with personal problems and a bad shoulder." "So I might as well sit here as at home watching TV." "I could see them setting the poles up from my window, so I thought:" "Why not?" "I've never been in any contest, so we're in the same boat." "No." "I've performed before, so don't underestimate me." "Pole-sitting?" " No, in school." "I had a role as chair girl in "Cabaret"." "My self-confidence failed me before the premier   but I made it through the dress rehearsal." "I was really unsure of myself in those days." "That was before I began working on my self-confidence." "Not to be nosy, but what the hell's a "chair girl"?" "We were like show girls and we each had a chair to dance on." "Very demanding choreography." " Exciting." "It's strange there aren't more people." " Don't worry, they'll come." "I'll just sum up the rules:" "Three liters of liquid, maximum, and no talking between the participants." "It's exactly 3:00 p.m. and that means the contest starts now !" "Of course it's okay." "Just fine." "Of course you can come by this evening." "It's ... just fine." "Yes ..." "Good." "Bye." "Hi, Mother." "No, no ..." "Yes ..." "No, I know it's been a long time, but Mother ..." "I was wondering." "How's it going with cousin Jakob and his heart valve?" "Yes ..." "No ..." "Yes ..." "Oh, it's going better ..." "No, just say hello from me." "No, Mother, I'm fine." "It's good to hear your voice." "Take care." "Bye." "What the hell ...?" "It's the little merchant." "You dumb bastard, what are you doing here?" "I just wanted to say hello to my old school buddy." "Fuck you." "I'm sure you want some kind of favor." "I heard you've been through a lot and   I though maybe you needed to make a little money." "I'm on methadone, so I'm not that desperate." "It's just one, single evening." "This evening, actually." "You just have to come by, lie in a bed and ... keep your mouth shut." "So finally I'm invited out and get money for it, too?" "Yeah." "Well, Sammy, it'll be exiting to see how you're going to pray to Allah." "It'll be hard to find space for a carpet up there." "You should see my apartment building." "It looks like Istanbul in the backyard." "It's only empty at prayer time." "Be quiet with your racist nonsense." "I'm actually a humanist." "So am I, when there's reason to be." "You can do the rest yourself." "Here." "Hi, Jan." "My name's Gry." "I understand that it's hard for you to speak." "Yes, no ..." "Jan has periods where he can't say anything." "Yes, it comes and goes." "How awful." "ls it true that you're partly paralyzed?" "Yes, but it's going better." " That's good, isn't it?" "I'd like to tell you about my cousin and me." "We haven't been as good as you at getting along with each other." "I'll ask some questions and you can either nod or shake your head." "Okay?" "How about Piss-Porter München-Gladbach?" "Or Bayern Livercunt!" "Stop the taxi!" " That's just too Primitivo!" "Come on, Erik." "That was really brilliant." "Just drive on." "I'll walk home." "Of course I should just invite her over." "It's so simple." "I'm not sure if I can call her just like that ..." "But thanks for the chat, Jan." "Can't I offer you a glass of something?" "Do you have any chocolate milk." " Chocolate milk?" "No, I'm actually not thirsty." "I've arranged with Jan to come by again tomorrow, if that's okay." "Yes ..." "Yes, of course it's okay." " Bye-bye." "Jesus!" "Didn't you say you're moving into sheltered housing tomorrow?" "That was the whole point." "That's what you're getting paid for." "The bitch gave me a fucking hand-job!" "What?" "You should've stopped her." "I acted paralyzed." "I couldn't start fighting her off." "God, she gave me a hand-job!" " That's not what I'm paying you for." "Leave ..." "Get out!" "I can't." "She's coming by tomorrow." " Get out!" "Ouch, dammit!" "What'll you tell her tomorrow if I'm not here?" "Good enough." "Fine." "Psychopath ..." " You're out of here the day after!" "She gave me a hand-job, man." "No!" "It can't be true. $45,000!" "No ... !" "Oh, my god ..." "They call you a racist." "Just because it's so tragic using it to dry clothes in an immigrant home." "Robert Jacobsen is as Danish as they come!" "He'll never mean the same for them as he does for us." "Are you listening?" " I'm reading about lung illnesses." ""Cystic fibrosis:" "Medical treatment rarely lengthens the patient's life " " by more than two or three years." It's a miracle he's still alive." "Oh, stop it." "You didn't run into Svend." "What can keep a person alive so long?" " Stop, Erik." "Svend died 1 0 or 1 2 years ago." "Already then he was called the last Marxist in Europe." "Besides, I think we sent flowers from legal aid." "You must have met a ghost." "If you throw up again, you're sleeping in the pantry." "We just got a new carpet and the magazine's coming." "No, no, it's over for now." "Maybe you caught a fever." "It was crazy to walk all that way home." "I couldn't bear hearing those drunken idiots." "What are you saying?" "They're your best friends." "Nothing." "I just feel ..." "Erik, no!" "That wasn't very good timing." "Oh, no!" "It was that wine." "I should have listened to Svend." " Stop that Svend business." "He's dead." "No he isn't!" "Erik ..." " I'm sorry ..." "But I met him." "I'm just so tired." " Sleep well, then." "But then she split." "Married 3 months and she runs off with some clown from the local bar." "He beat her black and blue." " "My name is Inge." "I've the right ..."" "It's hard to understand women." "A divorce like that is rough." "I've always liked sports." "Team spirit." "Then I had problems with my shoulder." "Suddenly I wasn't seeing anyone." "Need to use the little house?" "No, but where the hell is everyone?" "And all the reporters?" "Last year there were lots of people." "The reporters will be here!" " It's your responsibility." "Does anyone need a blanket?" "Fuck, man." " Other than Heidi?" "There ..." " It's so sweet of you to help." "Oh, anything for a friend." "Since Per's a policeman   can't he access folks' name and address via their license plate?" "Yes, I guess so." "Could you ask him to check that Yugoslavian from the flea market?" "He doesn't have the authority." "Erik didn't have the authority to write your job application, either." "Yes, but ..." "Something's making noise ..." "Erik!" " No, no, I can ..." "Hi, Rita." " Hi, Erik." "You're not doing so well, are you?" " I think I'm feeling better." "I think I need a glass of white wine." "It's Friday." "You should wash them on a hot cycle before you hang them up." "So you're sure they don't shrink." "Now, now ..." "Now, now." "It's some kind of nasty stomach flu." "He can't keep anything down." "I'm sorry, Rita." "I'll have to put him to bed." "Would you get me that address?" "I don't have the energy right now." "When does one have an alcohol problem, Lea?" "When you can't work and everything is disintegrating around you." "It has disintegrated." "If you're referring to what happened yesterday, I don't hold a grudge." "Everything has a reason." " No, it's not that." "Lie down now and get some sleep." "Everything will be fine." "There you are." "I'll just take this, okay?" "Good." "Now I know your name   Inge." "Excuse me." " Yes?" "Haven't I won, then?" " Yes." "My gosh, you have." "Shortly after contestant number five dropped out " " Leif Juelund had to give up, too." "Which means that Inge Mappatarakis is the winner   after thirty grueling hours!" "It will be exciting to see if she can break last year's record of 39 hours." "Hi." "Am I disturbing you?" " Well ..." "Listen ..." "Gry has told us about your situation." "It can't be easy." "We've done some research, and you qualify for a handicap-elevator." "We don't need it." " Just weigh the wheelchair." "Then measure the distance from the door to the landing." "It's that simple." "Normal channels take too long." "We'll install it and just send them the bill." "I know what I'm saying." "My own father had sclerosis." "You're not alone." "One can show a little solidarity, even in a rich neighborhood." "Look, there's no problem with the door threshold ..." "Hi." "Hi ..." "You have enough to see to." "I'll see you later." "Good morning." " What's the big idea?" "Just relax." "Hysterical jerk, man." "Sugar?" "Two." "Now Inge Mappatarakis has sat more than 39 hours." "This means she is on her way to setting a new record!" "Well done, Inge, well done!" "You're asleep." "You're just sleeping, okay?" "You're asleep." "Hi." " Hi." "Come in." "Hi, Jan ..."

"They want to keep me as a model, which is nice and means a lot of money." "But you know what?" "I'm so tired of that tread-on-others mentality." "It's amazing how meeting you two guys puts things in perspective." "Really ...?" "For a moment I forgot that I have a job in a little while." "Apropos forgetting, I forgot to tell you that Jan's moving tomorrow." "Sheltered housing." "He wants to try facing real life." "Then we won't need that expensive elevator project." "Just let me know if there's anything I can do." "You're a fantastic man." "See you." " Bye." "Well ...?" "Did you get laid?" "Yeah." "You owe me thirty dollars." "Yes, I do." "Super!"

"Dinner's on the stove and I've opened a good bottle of wine." "Listen, can't that wait until tomorrow?" "No, I'm very busy tomorrow, plus I have to get that sculpture." "To hell with that piece of crap." "Right." "Why do we need Danish culture at all?" "Why do we need art?" "Look at your lawn." "It's like a football field." "Doesn't that bother you?" " Stop, Lea." "Maybe you could try helping a little." "That Yugoslavian's name is Bregovic." "He could be a Serb." "A real male chauvinist." "How did you get his name?" "Rita's husband, Per, checked out his license plate." "Turns out he's here illegally, too." " And ...?" "I can't help thinking of illegal art dealers." "What kind of people are they?" "That's enough!" "This is just like the Gestapo." "Come on." "Per and I aren't trying to get anyone thrown out." "Lea, sit down here." "Let's talk a little." "We haven't talked together in ten years." "Should we start two days before the magazine comes?" "Honestly, I don't think I deserve that." "Hello!" "Hello!"

"How's it going, otherwise?" "Rotten, of course." "How about you?" "Have you gotten married?" "I haven't heard from her since." "And she has her curtains closed in the middle of the day." "She's sulking." "You fucked her and didn't invite her to brunch." "Do you think I could have hurt her feelings?" "No, I doubt it." "ls it there?" "The bottle?" " Yes, yes it's here." "Okay." "Can you bring it over?" "You can't send it with a taxi." "I've used all the money." "Yes." "Don't worry, I'll bring it over." "Hello, it's Jan Poulsen." " She's on drugs." "I've just found a huge bag of something white inside her hair brush." "Come over." "We'll have a look." "I feel more like destroying it." "She needs help." "Poor girl." "You've always been a fool." "How can it surprise you that she's on drugs?" "Haven't you noticed she's completely fucked up?" "I don't know if "fucked up" is how I'd put it." "She's a classic coke queen." "100% superficial." "She'll ball anybody." "She doesn't feel a thing." "A fucking junkie is how you should look at her." "You're pretty hard aren't you?" "How would you like it if folks said the same about you?" "They do ." " That's not my style." "Hello, Gry, it's Jens." "I'm getting a little nervous about you, so please let me in." "Bye." "Hello ..." "Gry?" "Are you home?" "Hello ..." "Stand still!" "Don't move!" "What are you trying to do?" "I'm sorry, but I know Gry." " Why come in through the balcony?" "I'm sorry ... but no one let me in and I was getting a little nervous." "I rang the bell several times." " I can hear." "I'm not deaf." "No, I'm sorry." " Has she stood you up?" "I don't know if you can call it that." " She does it all the time with me, too." "Right." "You're Gry's cousin." "She also promised to send me an autographed poster, and she didn't." "Then she called last week and said I should come over ..." "She's gone to Australia." "Well!" "Then I can tell her boyfriend." "He just called to ask where she was." "May I see your cell phone?" " Her boyfriend?" "Yes, Pierre, her photographer." "Don't you have a cell phone?" "Yes." "She has a boyfriend named Pierre?" " Oh, it's a Nokia." "Yes." "Last time Pierre had to pick me up because she didn't have the time." "Then he took me to a seafood restaurant." "The food was disgusting." "Thanks." "Do you need a ride somewhere?" "How will you get home?" "Home?" "No way." "Not when I'm finally on the loose in Copenhagen." "Okay ..." "Can you take care of yourself?" " Sure." "No problem." "My goodness, are you crying?" "He's a fantastic human being, that guy Jens ..." "Look." "Hello ..." "Hi." "I think you remember me." " Yes." "I've been thinking." "I'm willing to give you $1 ,500 for that sculpture." "I'm just not interested in selling it, okay?" "$1 ,500 is quite a lot of money." " No, thank you." "$3,000." "3,000 is like 6,000, before tax." "That's good money." "People who live here illegally don't pay tax, do they?" "Not that I care." "I'm very against those tough immigration laws." "Well ..." "Come upstairs." "We'll see what we can do." "Hi." "There." " Yes." "But it'll be hard to get it out." "It was hell getting it up." "We can take it through the window." "There's a scaffold." "Excuse me, do you pick up newspapers here?" "What?" " Do you pick up newspapers here?" "Yes ..." "No, it's next door." " Thanks." "We keep on singing like cicadas under the sun" "even though they kill us time and again we rise from the dead meet the living straight ahead" "one day, it won't be long they'll hear us sing our song" "singing in the sun just like a cicada" "like those returning home from war" "we'll keep singing like cicadas under the sun even though they whisper out our name disappearing time after time then finding us on our way again" "on our way again" "Shit ..." "Shit!" "Hey, watch out!" "Oh, no!" ""l must free myself of what others expect   and look after my own needs."" ""My name is Inge ..." "I have a right to think of myself." "I must free myself of what others expect and look after my own needs."" "Kiwi ..." "Kiwi?" "Kiwi ..." "Kiwi, sweetheart ..." "Hi, sweetheart." "Pearl, come ..." "Pearl." "Pearl, come." "I could see from my window that you'd hopped off." "I thought, what the hell, a little fresh air can't hurt." "Even though I almost fell down the stairs." "There's no limit to the stuff those Turks leave on them." "Shut your stupid mouth." "You idiot!" "Just because your life's so damn lonely and empty." "What are you talking about?" " You needn't take it out on them   just because   we've completely lost our way." "It's not very hard to alienate people." "It's really dumb." "We humans simply aren't created to be alone." "You could learn something about that from your neighbors." "Well, I better be going." "Bye." " No ..." "Won't you sit down and talk with me a little?" "Do you want to borrow my jacket?" " No." "Thanks, anyway." "Won't you just hold me a little?" "Would you please step back, so we can do our work?" "Good heavens, Lea, it's not your fault." "I promise you, it's not your fault." " Are you sure she won't be charged?" "These foreigners don't follow the rules and aren't careful." "He could have been killed by that satellite dish." "Are you sure you can take care of her?" "Her husband's a psychologist." " Okay." "So she has a network?" "Then just take her home." "It's back home for you, Mustafa." "Now, now, poor thing ..." "Now, now." "That poor old man." "Did you see the cookies?" "The ambulance driver said he had a terminal illness." "That's some consolation." "Hey, the sculpture!" "What?" "We've got to take the sculpture with us." "We can't just leave it here." "We can't do that." "Do you really want it on display?" "Don't make it worse than it already is." "If we leave it, then all this is really meaningless." "We're taking it." "Come on!" "If you help me get it in ..." "Come on, you can give me a hand." "If we just lift it up here ..." "Thanks a million for your help, girls." "Don't we need to sit down and empty a bottle of red wine?" "No." "Thanks, anyway." "You should try and relax a little." "I think that's a good idea." "Go in and talk with Erik." "I think you're in a bit of a state of shock." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Erik ...?" "Erik?" "It's good he's been hospitalized." "With a habit like that, stopping from one day to the next can prove fatal." "Besides the early stages of cirrhosis of the liver, he's allergic to sulfites." "This is common for red-wine alcoholics." "This is when they usually change to hard liquor." "But luckily Erik didn't know that trick." "I didn't know it was that bad." "We usually think everything's okay as long as we get rid of the bottles." "That's the damn thing about all those socialistic recycling stations." "Excuse me ..." "We just came to deliver this." "Won't you ...?" "No." "What?" " Won't you stay and eat?" "I'm about to make some spaghetti." " No, thanks." "It's been a long day." "That would be fucking great." "Who wants to ride all the way home on an empty stomach?" "But the train leaves in 20 minutes." " So?" "There's one every hour." "It would be so nice with some yummy-yummies." "You bet it would." " Come on, Jens." "Just stop it!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Just stop!" "Leave me alone, god dammit!" "Just leave me alone!" "What the hell is happening with my life?" "I just want to be left in peace." "Well, Tina, will you give a hand?" "If you give me a cutting board, I can slice some onions." "Here you go." "I'll just put some music on." "When I stand and look across the earth" "I start longing I start longing for that time when farmers sowed their seed" "and were feeling and were feeling feeling the earth's heart as it's beating" "as if thinking as if thinking hearing birds sing across the waters" "it was lovely it was lovely." "Erik, my darling, how could it come to this?" "Please excuse me, Lea." "I forgot who I really was." "I should have told you a long time ago that I was having problems." "With all that whiteness." "But we've had a good life together." " We've had a good arrangement." "That's something else." "Dr. Berg says you don't want to come home." "I like being here." " But it's just too depressing, Erik." "Someone wiped their behind with the curtain in the TV room." "Beautiful." " What are you saying?" "You have to tell me if you're angry about something." "If there's something I could ..." " Did someone actually ...?" "Fantastic." "Where did he go?" " He went into the TV room." "Erik asked me to look up a certain Svend E. Nielsen who he thinks he met." "Yes, he told me." " We've checked." "There's only one." "And he's deceased." "Good god!" "Hi, I'm Asta from Better Homes  Gardens." "FAREWELL, SVEND E. NIELSEN FROM THE COPY CENTER" "Well, should we get him cremated?" " Yes." "I'm sorry." " Lord help us." "Yes, I'm sorry, but we practically had to shovel him into the coffin." "Things like this happen." "Shall I ...?" " No, just let him be until it stops."
