"CHAPTER 3:" "LEMONADE" "But why do they get to go?" "I'm an employee here, you know." "Toggi, this is their weekend off." "You had the last weekend off." "So I have to work this weekend?" "My cousin is coming here..." "We have a long weekend ahead and we're short of staff, so we have to take turns with sleeping and rest." "Teamwork will see us through." "This will work out somehow." "Þórlaug, you take the night shift with me, so sleep today." "We're overworked here." "What was that, Sólveig?" "I don't understand the privatization here." "We could easily have skipped Lúðvíík's trip to have more staff here over the weekend." "It's crazy that he's going alone with such a large group." "This trip has been planned for months and we're expected at the places we're visiting, not to mention that the inmates are paying for it." "There are people in the group that aren't easy to handle." "Easy to handle?" "What do you mean by that?" "With all these cuts, it's pointless to waste money on luxuries such as crafts." "It's wrong to label it "crafts"." "They're purposeful activities." "It's just recreational." "This is no longer about the people?" "To give their lives purpose?" "They're not a disease." "What happened to their interests?" "The inmates are not a working force!" "Fucking nonsense!" "I'd kill to be somewhere else than here for the weekend." "Watching over some vegetables." "It's death by boredom." "With that attitude, yes." "My friend is going to the Eldborg festival." "Lipstick Lovers and a rave tent, and..." "Is that inside you?" "Yeah." "Did you swallow a rock crusher?" "I'm so hungry." "Then eat something." "I can't." "I must only drink water." "I'm toning myself down for Sunday." "It's tremendous effort to stay away from solid foods." "That's crazy stuff." "No." "You lose a lot of weight this way." "I can eat the moment as the tournament is over." "But only a small meal, or the body goes into shock." "People will go into shock from looking at you." "I'm gonna take a nap for a couple of hours." "I must be fresh if I'm to stand a chance." "Do you have time for that?" "Have you grown enough?" "What do you mean?" "You're not as big as this guy." "Francis Olombo?" "Man, you're stupid." "He's in a completely different weight category." "Look at this guy." "His thigh is as big as you are." "He's competing abroad." "Things are... different there." "What are you doing?" "Putting your seatbelt on." "I'm sitting in my seat." "Everyone must wear seatbelts." "Says who?" "The police." "Been to the bathroom, Rúnar?" "Yes, twenty." "Álfheiður, could you open the car in the back for me?" "The skies are falling, we must tell the king." "Join us." "Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" "I'll just read or something." "Here." "Remember to give these at the exact time. 1 o'clock." "The doses are so small that there's no room for error." "Lúðvíík, this is very important." "I've done this before." "Remember the rules, Álfheiður." "She'll be fine." "Not in a box, not with a fox, not in a house, not with a mouse." "Hulda?" "Shall we switch places?" "You have a Commercial Driver's License, don't we need to stay on schedule?" "Yes." "Then you must drive." "I have a Commercial Driver's License!" "Uh-oh." "Margeir Orri Einarsson." "I'm Margeir Orri Einarsson." "I'm healthy and well-balanced..." "This is just the beginning..." "They're going to break..." "This isn't about one man, but a much greater whole." "Pi is a mathematical constant and the key to calculating..." "Break him..." "Just like they've broken..." "And that number is kept hidden from us, but it's in Omega that the key is hidden." "They have taken our voice." "Got a cigarette?" "They sent him into the blizzard... without any pants." "Who?" "What are you talking about?" "Einar would know." "He would know what to say." "Good day." "People are killed for..." "How are we today?" "Hippasus was going to tell about the irrational numbers but they silenced him, they drowned him, and Josef Strauss as well!" "Are you talking about Einar?" "Einar is sick, he is not aware of his own illness." "Sensitive people need care, first and foremost." "I see you!" "Let's stay calm here..." "You must remember who you are, and where." "You're a leech!" "You suck!" "All he does is take!" "What do you mean by suck?" "Take and suck!" "He's the mink!" "I don't understand..." "Got a cigarette?" "We've talked about this, Bergsteinn." "Work trip or not, we're in this together." "When will you get back?" "I need to talk to you." "You know the rules." "I'll talk to you later." "I'm sorry Sólveig, but I wanted to tell you that something serious is about to happen." "I was with the other patients and they were talking..." "I'm very busy here, don't you have something to do?" "I want to..." "Margeir!" "There's something funny going on here." "Excuse me, ma'am, but we, the inmates here..." "Are very unhappy that Einar is being locked up." "What's going on?" "We're not satisfied that Einar is being treated as he is." "Einar is highly unstable!" "To your room, Margeir!" "Silencing the truth is the worst crime possible." "There's a reason why Einar was locked up, he's dangerous to himself and to others." "The truth is the only thing that matters." "Josef Strauss knew this, as did Joseph Strauss." "This is not your business!" "You'll do as you're told!" "You're on the wrong side of the line, Sólveig." "What do you mean?" "Up yours!" "Stop this!" "Now leave!" "This was what I was trying to tell you!" "Margeir..." "You should have listened to me!" "Listen!" "?" "!" "You're not an employee here!" "Don't you understand that!" "?" "!" "You're not special!" "You're not even sick!" "You just want attention, and I'm not here to pamper your sorry little ass!" "I say stop!" "Do you understand that!" "?" "!" "This is very mysterious!" "Don't give me that now." "I must investigate this!" "I don't understand." "Aren't there any bus stops on this route?" "Stay on the right lane, it's right-hand traffic here." "Right-hand traffic?" "When did that happen?" "That was a while ago." "I have..." "I have to..." "Aw, you poor thing..." "Everything alright, Hulda?" "I need to go to the bathroom." "Didn't you go before we set off?" "Yes..." "Are you sure?" "Can't it wait?" "No, can't wait." "Poopy." "I have an idea." "We'll all go inside." "We must hurry!" "You go on ahead, Rúnar." "Keep the door open." "Thanks." "Rúnar, are you done in there?" "Rúnar?" "...5, 6, 7, 8, 9..." "Let me in, I'll help you." "Excuse me, could you look after them for a moment?" "I guess so." "How are you doing, Rúnar?" "Not so good." "I'll do this while you go." "It's 32." "33, 34..." "They're keeping Einar down." "They've broken him, just like they've broken us." "Hi." "Hush!" "You startled me." "Hide!" "What are you doing?" "Investigating a mystery." "We must be very careful!" "What's your name?" "Tommi." "Are you all alone and without escort, ma'am?" "This area is very dangerous!" "We need to get Einar back, as well as our rights..." "That was nice..." "Well, it's time to go." "Everyone, back to the car!" "Everyone follow Hulda." "Hulda, head for the car." "Are we leaving?" "Yes, we're driving." "I'm sorry, I must ask you to leave the area." "Oh?" "Aren't we customers here?" "Are we leaving?" "We're working on that, Hulda." "Not before you've paid." "Paid for what?" "You ate all of that, Ástrún?" "Toggi!" "It really annoys me when you're sleeping on the job!" "It's been so crazy here." "Give these to him for me." "Do I really have to babysit him?" "He's perfectly calm now." "Yes!" "And make sure he swallows and that the pills go down!" "Hey." "Sit up now, time to take your meds." "There, open up." "Open up your mouth, man." "Nobody knows who he is." "He just suddenly appeared." "I suspect that he's a Tatar." "A Tatar?" "He must be very dangerous if the sailors locked him up." "There's a guard!" "There's a... a clue!" "What is that?" "I don't know." "But I will soon find out!" "Keep an eye out for further clues, ma'am." "How old are you?" "I'm 8 years old." "But I'm almost 8 and a half." "Come with me, I'll protect you." "Well, people." "This is Marvin that I told you all about." "Hello Marvin." "We worked together when I was an occupational therapist at the Kleppur mental asylum." "Why don't you tell us how you're doing in life?" "Yes." "I'm doing quite nicely." "I got a nice flat, though I share it with my uncle, but I'm planning to move into my own place." "I'm constantly learning to live with the right drugs and to find my inner balance." "Live with the disease, don't be the disease." "He's beyond rescue." "Rúnar, listen to the man." "I've been working here for 18 months now." "For the past 4 months as a storage supervisor." "Marvin is sick." "No!" "I'm not sick." "I'm recovering and very stable." "The doctor said to Marvin that he'd never be well." "But look where he is today." "Well, shall we give Marvin a round of applause?" "What you're seeing here is carbonated water!" "We add the flavor in later!" "You've all had a soda, right?" "This is syrup, an extract of sorts, and we have a machine that puts an exact amount of syrup into each bottle, which gives the soda just the right taste." "Look, we just mix it a bit." "There!" "We stir it a bit, and it then goes to a machine that adds the labels to the bottles, and then another machine adds the bottle caps." "It's as easy as that." "Would you like some?" "Yes, please." "Thanks." "Do you have my meds?" "I need my meds." "We don't need to think about that right now." "Aren't you enjoying yourself?" "Ástrún!" "Oh dear, what is she doing!" "That can't be good for her!" "We may have to pump her stomach!" "She drank half a liter of syrup!" "I think it'll work out." "Stop that, pot!" "Stop it!" "We're protesting against how Einar is being treated." "We want him released at once!" "You can't run, Sólveig." "Yes, well..." "Let's move into the cafeteria and discuss things there." "People are sleeping here in the hallway." "Did she lock us in?" "Open up, bitch!" "Open up!" "Hi." "Got a cigarette?" "Follow me, girl!" "I know of a secret passage." "Where's Leó?" "I can't find him anywhere." "Toggi?" "Answer me!" "Where's Leó?" "Hello!" "Are you OK?" "What are you trying to say?" "Hhhhaaaalllldolll..." "Haldol...?" "You took the pill yourself?" "!" "?" "Are you completely braindead!" "?" "!" "It's for the patients!" "Oh, Jesus." "Very mysterious..." "Einar could be an irregular number, like Omega!" "They don't want us to be ourselves!" "Sólveig is a cunt!" "Watch your language, please." "Kevin Costner!" "We want to be ourselves!" "That won't work, it's polycarbonate thermoplastic." "This chaos won't help us!" "Listen to Karl Magnús!" "A man in Copenhagen is called Niklas Heiberg, he is the grandson of Johan Ludwig Heiberg, the great historian." "Niklas sat with me in class in university in Denmark back in the day." "One time we had been drinking until morning, which wasn't like me at all, but Niklas had given me some mushrooms, he said they were harmless except..." "We need to make ourselves heard to open this door!" "Open up!" "... it was that night that we went to his parents' place and he showed me some old photographs" "that they kept in a locked safe." "I looked at these photos, and realized that they were photos taken by Johan Ludwig of the Archimedes Palimpsest." "What are you doing?" "Writing a warning." "It's invisible, unless you heat the paper over a candle." "I'm writing to the sailors, because if we get captured then Captain Johnson will know what has happened." "Who are the Tatars?" "The people out there?" "Who don't know who the Tatars are, young girl?" "They're a bunch of criminals!" "They steal and smuggle and dance, for their own amusement." "But what are they planning?" "Nobody knows." "It's a very mysterious group, no-one knows where they're from." "Some say they come all the way from Egypt, while others say..." "We truly deserve, after a busy day, to have a refreshing glass of lemonade!" "Hush there, it'll be alright." "I've seen it worse." "A lot of people suffered worse during Franco's reign." "Yes..." "Yes, alright." "Thanks so much." "That was Torfi, he's on his way." "Why didn't you tell them what was going on?" "Go wake up Þórlaug, and try to find Leó!" "But..." "Just do as I say!" "Búi..." "We... we wait here." "People, we're supposed to wait here for the waiter." "Miss, this isn't serviceable!" "The French fries still have the peel on!" "See?" "Búi!" "Let go!" "I'm terribly sorry for that." "We had a reservation here, Lúðvíík and a party of seven." "What are you doing, give that back!" "Wait here for a moment." "I'm terribly sorry, she hasn't eaten anything today." "Don't come any closer, I've already called the police!" "Rúnar!" "I can't find it!" "I'm sorry." "You'll just have to wait until it wears off." "Where is everybody?" "How could this happen?" "I was trying to do my job here, but others... you can't rely on anyone around here!" "Toggi!" "You're responsible for this, Sólveig!" "We'll just have to turn Einar over to them, that's the only choice we have." "I found the Lindbergh baby!" "They're opening the door"
