"ADAM'S APPLES" "Adam?" "Sorry I'm late." "Ivan Fjeldsted." "But Ivan is just fine." "I may seem a little confused, but I've been looking forward to meeting you." "Shall we get going?" "I can take your bag..." "That was..." "Come." "People who have been in prison are often a bit protective of their stuff." "Have you lived in the country before?" "So here is where we live, and this is our little church." "Just take a look here." "It is our apple tree." "We're very proud of it." "There are lots of apples this year." "It's probably because of the hot summer, I think." "But they won't be ripe yet for a couple of weeks." "Come." "Good morning." " Good morning." "Good morning." " This is Adam." "And this is Khalid, and Gunnar." " Are you stupid?" "I don't talk to skinhead's." "There will be plenty of time to talk about that later." "Come on, Adam." "What does the O stand for?" "In Adam O. Pedersen?" "What's the story about the O?" "Your parents must have told you." "I forgot to ask." " That's a good answer." "So it says here that you are a neo-Nazi." "Are you really?" "It is not the first thing one thinks of when one sees you." "It says here that you are EVIL." "What a rude thing to write." "Are you evil?" "Are you evil, then?" "What?" "I didn't think so." "Let's just forget about that because there are no evil people." "If you only look for evil, then you'll only find evil in the world." "But if you focus on the good, as we do here, then the world becomes a little bit brighter." "In recent years, the Devil has sent many people here to test us." "But we have conquered them all." "Everyone who has stayed here has found God." "You just met Khalid and Gunnar." "I saw that you did." "Gunnar was paroled four years ago." "Like you, he was only required to be here for three months." "But he chose to stay." "He was an alcoholic before." "He was a thief and a rapist." "He's been clean for 26 months now." "And he is studying theology." "He is not the only one." "There is also Khalid, who you met earlier." "He used to rob gas stations." "Do you remember a young guy who was shot when he was going to buy condoms?" "No." " It was Khalid who did it." "Two hostage dramas and a sea of gas stations behind him." "Now he is learning Danish" "Just shut up and tell me what I have to do." "I can't do that." "You have to discover that for yourself." "I hope that you will find yourself a goal." "Otherwise, there are no requirements." "Are you listening to me?" " Yes, I believe I am." "In any other situation I would say that you are rude." "But let's not talk about that now." "Shall we focus on what your goal will be?" "Okay." "I would like to bake a pie." " Bake a pie?" "Oh, an apple pie?" " Yes, an apple pie." "My goal is to bake a big apple pie." "With the apples from our garden?" " Yes, the apples from the garden." "That's a good idea, Adam." "I think we've found your goal." "You'll look after the tree until the first of August, when the apples are ripe." "Then you'll use the apples to bake an apple pie." "That's it." "I just wanted to give you this." "It has both the old and the new testament." "It's a good thing to have." "Sleep tight." "Evil has many faces, and it can be difficult to identify." "And it can be even harder to choose sides." "Especially today, everywhere you go, opinions are so varied." "Everyone and everything has so many nuances." "If the game of chess had undergone the same development as humans, the queen would be in front, the rooks would be crooked, and the pawn would be the main piece." "We no longer know who we are, and this restlessness" "Are we boring you, Poul?" "Is the word of God boring to you?" "I need to go to the bathroom." " Can't you wait?" "Not really." "We finish in twenty minutes, Poul." "I think you could wait that long." "Let the old man go to the bathroom and have a crap in peace, so we can start singing the song." "Yes, of course." "Democracy has spoken." "So go, Poul." "Go take a crap." "But you can't come back in." " That's okay." "And you'll have to use the hospital loo because you can't use the church toilet." "Why not?" " It is locked during the service." "Why?" " For safety reasons." "Let's continue, if it's okay with Poul." "We'll sing #634, "You know my heart."" "There is fried pork with parsley sauce." "It was a good sermon today." "At least it was shorter than usual." "Too bad for old Poul Nordkap." "Ivan is always on his case." "It's because he leaves during the sermon." "He always does it." "That's because he was in a concentration camp during the war." "So he's been a little restless in his old age." "He is 86 years old." "It won't be any fun when I get that old." "Do not worry about Ivan." "He's a good guy." "Just don't get into an argument with him." "What the hell are you doing?" " Me?" "My Phone?" " Sorry." "I thought you were sleeping." "And my wallet?" "Are you stealing my stuff?" "Have you gone insane?" "I'm sorry." " Piss off, fatso!" "Sleep tight." " Piss off!" "BOOK OF JOB" "They're not even flying away." " They are cheeky devils." "Like killer dogs." "Go home you damned birds." "What are we going to do now?" "There won't any apples left for your pie unless we solve this problem." "Let the Paki monkey climb up and shoo them away." "Hey, I'm not talking to you." " I don't know anything about birds." "What does one usually do in a situation like this?" "Gunnar?" "You leave them alone, I think." "Can't we just let them eat the apples?" "They are Adam's apples and he wants to bake a pie with them." "He doesn't know how to bake." " Hold on." "You don't know that." "If Adam wants to bake us a pie, it's our job to support him." "He can't even bake bread." " I can so." "You can not." " Shut Up!" "Shut up yourself!" " What do you know about it, Paki?" "That's it." "That's the right attitude." "That kind of attitude will get us some pie." "There's even more of them coming." " That's just plain rude." "That's great, Adam." "The birds won't dare to come back now." "Pastor Fjeldsted?" " Yes." "Ivan is just fine." "My name is Sarah Svendsen." " Hi." "This is Adam." "I'm not from around here." "I wanted to come to the service, but I couldn't." " Don't apologize." "You only belittle yourself." "What's wrong?" "You don't look so good." "Let's go inside and talk." "I met this guy." " The milk has gone bad." "I do not use milk." " I was thinking about Sarah." "I was too." " No, you weren't." "I beg your pardon?" "Are you saying that I wasn't?" "Let's take that discussion right now." "Let's see what John 4:46 says." ""He came to Cana in Galilee." ""There was an official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. "" "Jesus said, "Everything you want people to do unto you, do unto them. "" "Never mind." "I do not use milk." "But maybe there are a couple of cookies for Sarah?" "No, it's OK." "Adam, can I bother you to go out and look in the cookie jar?" "Maybe I shouldn't have come." " No, it was good that you came." "So you had met a guy?" "I've been in Indonesia, because I work for the World Wildlife Fund." "I fell in love with a man and got pregnant." "I used to drink a lot." "Now I am a member of AA and have been sober for 341 days." "But now they say that the baby may become disabled." "I don't know where the father is." " Hold on." "Wait a minute." "Why should I have three cookies and Sarah only gets two?" "Isn't it strange that I get more than she does?" "There were five left, and her cookies looked bigger." "I don't think they are." " Well, I do." "Did you measure them?" " What?" "Did you?" "No, who bothers to measure cookies?" "Now let's stop this discussion before it becomes embarrassing for you." "Would you like to get rid of it?" "No, but they say there's a 60% chance that the child will be handicapped." "And now I have to decide within the week, otherwise it's too late." "I do not think I can manage to have a child that is not normal." "60 percent is high, right?" "It's just statistics, Sarah." "When my wife and I were expecting our son we were told that there was a 75% chance that he would be disabled." "We could have been intimidated by statistics and reason but we tried to hope for the best and believe in the good." "And now when I see him play football in the garden or just doing homework, we're happy that we chose to have him." "No one can say that we aren't." "The Devil is testing us all the time." "It's important to make the right choices." "If we all listened to reason, the world would be a gloomy place to live." "Sarah, you need to follow your heart and have the baby." "Ouch!" "Damn it!" "Good morning." " Ow, that hurt!" "Why the hell didn't you turn off the stove!" "?" "This looks bad." "Here." "What did pastor Fjeldsted say about it?" "He's a frigging idiot." "Ivan can be a bit strange, but he's a good boy." "His life has not been easy." "Everything went wrong from the start." "His mother died while giving birth to him." "He lived with his father and his sister until he was taken away." "Ivan?" "They took Ivan away?" " Nope." "The father, Henning, was taken away." " Why?" "He raped those poor kids and he abused them so badly they could barely walk." "Shut up and fix this." " Pardon me for being blunt." "However, I have learned it's best to tell it like it is." "We're all best served by being told the truth." "Adam?" "What's this about you getting burned by the stove?" "Gunnar just forgot to turn it off." "Adam, I would like to speak with you." "Can you see what is happening here?" "Why do we have all the birds in the tree?" "We've never had birds before." "And the stove." "Why did you burn yourself all of a sudden?" "I think someone is trying to tell you to stay away from the stove." "Adam, you can not bake apple pie without using a stove." "I think Satan is testing us." " By not letting me bake apple pie?" "He has taken up the fight to see if you have the strength to resist." "Whether we have strength." "He has been doing it to me for as long as I can remember" "You're a complete moron." "No one does anything." "Gunnar left the stove on." "Gunnar always makes sure to turn it off." "He is always drunk; he doesn't know what he does, the fat pig." "Overweight and drunk." "So many accusations." "If you listen, I will explain about Gunnar." "In his youth, he was the greatest tennis player in the country." "He won all his matches." "But then, one match, a ball was called out even though it was inside, and Gunnar lost." "He gradually began to go downhill." "What about Khalid?" "This was in his coat pocket." "What are you saying?" " Those two haven't changed." "Are you saying that people shouldn't wear hats anymore?" "It is a balaclava." "In the summer!" "It's summer for you." "But Khalid comes from a hot climate." "He has 17,000 in cash!" " You're reaching, Adam." "Khalid is saving to buy new clothes." "But you would rather make accusations." "Give me my phone and my wallet or I'll smash your face." "Hurry up!" "That's not my phone!" "You stay away from my stuff." "Do you understand?" "You're lucky that I'm leaving or else I would beat you every day." "I'm going to the emergency room." "Are you going past the market?" " I certainly can." "Could you get me some cough syrup?" "What is it called?" " Von Oosten." "Adam, you might think about what we can do to get rid of the birds." "Here you go." "It can't be traced." "But get rid of afterwards, anyway." "Can you shoot with that hand?" "Do you plan to whack the priest?" "He got it in the ass as a kid." "Now he's all "turn the other cheek. "" "What are you going to do?" "You'll be getting out in 11 weeks." "Esben can not control the others." " I'm not going to shoot him, you jerk." "OK." "Relax." "I was only asking." "I'm just going to break him." "Him and all that goodness crap." "Does it involve the pear pie?" "Esben says you talk about a pie." "It's an apple pie, okay?" "It doesn't matter." "I said that I would bake a pie and now the idiot won't let up." "He says that the Devil is testing me because birds are eating the apples." "Should I stay and help you?" " Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" "See you." "Go on." "Get them!" "Don't be afraid." "Go on." "Get them." "He makes them nervous." "They're just staring right at him." "They don't give a shit about the cat." "Yes, it does not work." "Lambert's a good cat, but it's not working." "My granddad had a cherry tree." "It was attacked by birds, so he shot a few in the morning and a few in the evening." "Shot them?" "With a gun?" " No, with a waffle iron." "Of course it was a gun." "What gun?" "One like this." "I think that we should try it." "Can you take them from there?" "We can use guns?" "Ivan, why didn't you say so before?" "Yes." " Lambert, are you okay?" "What just happened?" "He is dead." " It was a shitty cat anyhow." "He shot my cat." " Let's stop with the accusations." "It was an old cat." "He just happened to die while we were shooting." "If you want, we can talk about it tomorrow." "We just talked a little bit about your grandfather." "I think it will be a really good day." "It's too bad that Khalid won't come eat when we're making his favorite food." "He's embarrassed about Lambert." " Where did he get the gun?" "He's been saving up so he can go back home to Saudi Arabia." "You should see his dream house." "Two or three more robberies from Statoil, and he'll have enough to go home." "Why doesn't he just rob a bank?" "He only robs multi-national companies." "That's why he only robs Statoil stations." "Statoil stole his father's land for the oil." "They shot him and stole his land." "Khalid is just taking back what was his." "Statoil is Norwegian." " No, I don't think so." "Statoil is Norwegian!" " Remember to tell that to Khalid." "So Ivan knows what he's doing?" " Yes." "Ivan just wants him to be calm." "Ivan is not exactly normal." "The seventh anniversary of his wife's death is coming up." "He had a wife?" "Yes, Linda." "She took some pills and killed herself." "It's because their son, Christopher, is handicapped." "He has cerebral palsy." "He is completely paralyzed." "She couldn't take that." "Can I come in?" "Adam, there sure are a lot of recipes for apple pie in this world..." "Yes, but it seems as if we've won the first round." "What a handsome man." "Is he your father?" " It is Hitler." "No, Hitler had a beard." "No, you're right." "I was thinking of that Russian guy." "I'll leave you to read." "Hitler's enemies didn't take him seriously either." "Are you saying I don't?" "That's just plain rude." "Old Poul Nordkap, who's lying in the hospital with no will to live, he was a Nazi, when he was young, during the war." "Do you think it's a coincidence that they ask me to cheer him up?" "He wasn't in a concentration camp?" " Sure." "He was working there." "He met Goblins and all those people." "Goebbels?" " He was probably there as well." "I think you should come with me and visit him on Thursday." "Shall we do that?" "BOOK OF JOB" "Hello!" "I'm glad that you could make it." "He is near death, Ivan." "I've told him so, as gently as I could." "Well, let's give him a good sendoff." "How is your hand?" " Good enough." "What about your nose, Ivan?" "It took quite a beating." "You won't have to waste money on perfume anymore, Ivan." "You won't smell another thing for the rest of your life." "Come on, Adam." "What is it with you, Poul?" "You don't touch your food." "I've brought a guest named Adam." "Hello." "Adam Pedersen." "Are you feeling a bit low?" " I am afraid." "There is no reason to." "Have the nurses been nicer to you?" " I do not deserve it." "Some of the nurses have been unkind to Poul because of his past." "But we soon put a stop to that." "Didn't we, Poul?" "And has Miriam been any nicer?" "She made hot chocolate for me yesterday." "And tucked me in." "They are all so nice to me." " That's good." "Don't be upset." "I don't deserve it." "Let me be." " Everybody deserves to be tucked in." "Did she fluff your duvet and pillow?" " Yes." "There, there." "I apologize for trying to skip your sermons." "I just don't like being inside the church." "That's all forgotten now." "Let's stop thinking about it." "I am afraid, Ivan." "I dare not fall asleep." "I am so afraid." "You have nothing to be afraid of, Poul." "You have lived a long and rich life and now you have to focus on the people who love you, and the wonderful memories." "Poul, do not cry anymore." "Do not be so hard on yourself." "No matter what you have done there is forgiveness." "If you only knew what we did..." "All those poor people." "It can't be forgiven." "Never..." "Stop it." "No one remembers anymore." "Oh God!" " No, you must stop now, Poul." "Stop it." "We all make mistakes." "But we don't let that spoil our good mood, right?" "You're crazy, man." " Why do you say that, Poul?" "Why are you suddenly being cheeky?" "I would like to discuss what I am and what I am not," "But perhaps we should focus on what God says." "God forgives all, Poul." "God forgives everything." "Yes, it's terrible." "Even if you've seen it a hundred times before, each time is just as horrible." "Did you talk with anyone after your wife died?" " Yes, I talked to lots of people." "A wife's suicide must be very painful." "Yes, it must be terrible." "But my wife, Linda, didn't commit suicide." "But she took pills?" "Yes, you might say that." "But it was an accident." "What do you mean an accident?" "The usual." "Christopher was playing with her pills and he put them in a candy dish." "So she thought they were yellow M and M's." "Christopher, your son?" " Yes." "So he's actually able to move?" " Why wouldn't he be?" "I thought he was paralyzed." " Christopher?" "No!" "He can't sit still." "Just yesterday he was playing baseball and hit a home run." "I do not believe you, Ivan." "I just don't." "It is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard." "Has Gunnar been telling you tall stories again?" "Because if he has, then that's just plain rude." "Why don't you bring your son tomorrow?" "He's already coming." "He's been pestering me all week to come." "So you can see for yourself." "Good morning." " Good morning." "Christopher, this is Adam." "Adam, Christopher." "You could get up and say "Good morning. " Look, scrambled eggs!" "Small mouthfuls, Gunnar." " Sorry." "He is paralyzed." "What did you say?" "I'm going up the tower." " I will also go." "I have to shoot the black birds on the tree." " Sit down." "He's paralyzed." " Christopher, go into daddy's office." "Now, Christopher." "This will not be pleasant to watch." "What did you say, Adam?" "He's paralyzed, Ivan." "Isn't he?" " Is he really, Adam?" "Yes, he has cerebral palsy." "That is just crazy." "Khalid, what do you have to say?" "Khalid?" " Adam's right." "He's totally paralyzed." "Your son is completely paralyzed." "Your wife took her own life." "Your mother died when you were born and your father raped you and your sister." "Look at me, Ivan." "Look at me." "You are bleeding from the ear." " What?" "You're bleeding from the ear, Ivan." "No, dammit!" "The other one." "Ivan was bleeding from his ear." " That happened to me once." "You just have to drink lots of milk." "Give it up, Ivan." "Adam." "There's something you should know." "Christopher is recovering from a very nasty bout of the flu." "And I will be the first to admit that he's been a bit sluggish lately." "Knock it off." "If someone slaps you on the cheek, turn the other cheek also." "God is on my side." "What's his problem?" "He needs to be locked up!" "Now I'm not the kind of person to spread gossip, but did you know" "Ivan has always been considered a phenomenon here at the hospital?" "How would I know that?" " He is sick." "He's very ill." "I know damn well." "No, not like that." "Well, he is that, too." "But he's terminally ill." "What's wrong with him?" " Cancer." "He has a brain tumor the size of a volleyball." "I've never seen anyone with a tumor as large as Ivan has." "I'll bash your face in if you call him a walking miracle." "Have you heard of Ravashi syndrome?" "Ravashi was an Indian soccer player, who lost both his feet in a go-kart accident in 1957." "What was strange about Ravashi was that he was in a state of shock after the accident and he ran home on the stumps of his legs." "His brain blocked the fact that he had no feet." "For two months he came to practice and even kept his place on the team." "Without feet?" "They were a bad team." "They were maybe fifth in the league." "But Ivan has experienced so much hardship in his life that he's needed to find an explanation in order to make sense of it." "That's why he imagines that the Devil is out to get him." "If you ask Ivan, he'll say everything is a test." "You are here to test him." "His cancer is a test." "His son's handicap is a test." "In Ivan's mind he's struggling in a fierce battle against the Devil." "And Ivan is determined not to lose." "So he blocks out everything, like Ravashi." "He denies everything that isn't good." "Death, mutilation, accident, malice." "These things don't exist in Ivan's world." "Why does he bleed from his ears?" " We've wondered that ourselves." "I think it's when something comes too close." "Someone got through to him once before." "That was three years ago." "Ivan bled out of his ears that time, too." "What happened then?" "You didn't know his sister Katinka." "She was a real slut." "She fucked everybody." "I even fucked her when she was here to have her tonsils removed." "When she died, Ivan almost fell to pieces." "He bled from his ears and got very sick." "What happened then?" " You know Ivan." "A few days later, he was jolly as ever." "So you could kill him, simply by making him understand the truth?" "Yes, in theory." "Give it up, Adam." "God is on my side." "Never forget that." "Hi." "The stove was broken." "I wanted to make pizza for Christopher." "Then it must be repaired." " I don't know if I can fix it." "Where did Christopher go?" " He's in your office." "There's a woman in there and she seems very upset." "Her name is Sarah and she's a hottie." "When she saw Christopher she began to scream." "I offered her some coffee, but she didn't want anything." "Yes, well, we'd better..." "So nice of you to visit again." "Has he been well-behaved?" "Tell me he isn't your son." " I can't say that because he is my son." "How could you say such a thing?" "Say what?" " That there is nothing wrong with him." "You said that he could do all kinds of math problems." "Oh, but he can!" "Even the hard stuff." "Ask him a question." "Adam, maybe you should go get some of the cookies that Sarah likes." "I'll come too." "Is anyone hungry?" "Well, Gunnar." "You can hook up the new stove now." "We'll see how long this one lasts." "What the hell are you doing?" "We're playing a drinking game with coins." " Gunnar is good." "It isn't wise to do that when you are pregnant." "It's a bit late to worry about that now." " We're rewriting an article..." "About what?" " Tigers in the East." "Look here." "They write that there are only 400 left." "It won't be long before they're extinct." "It's like calling "Last round" at a pub." " Why?" "What happens?" "Everyone buys another drink while they still can." " Oh, get out." "Gunnar is right." "We must do something about it." "You get out, too." "Shut up, and mind you own business." " Yes, Adam, stop disturbing us." "We are very busy." "Five tigers die every day." "Six!" "Six tigers a day, you idiot." "They can really jump high, those tigers." "Adam, you'd better come with me." " What now?" "There's a new apple problem." "Meet me at the tree in five minutes." "I don't understand it." "They're full of worms." "It was me who discovered it first, but I don't want to take any credit." "They're in all the fruit" " This is just awful." "Yes, Adam." "It never stops." "We must do something." "Take down all the sick fruit and spray the rest." "Gunnar, come with me." "We have to arrange Poul's return to God." "BOOK OF JOB" "Poul Bachelet Hermann, known to friend and foe as Poul Nordkap lived a long and full life." "In his life, Poul learned that to know God you must dance with the Devil." "Poul Nordkap surely did that." "He learned that there's no point fighting against goodness because he realized that, despite all the pain and suffering he'd caused in his youth, when all was said and done, it was just a mere, passing moment." "And though bad actions might cause tiny ripples in the pond temporarily, in the end, the world would continue as before and Good would prevail as always." "That's why Poul can return to God with peace of mind." "Adam and I were by his side when he passed quietly away." "His last words were:" ""I'm not afraid." "I'm ready. "" "But it's not all just about Poul, because today Christopher turns nine." "Before we get cake and hot chocolate shall we sing Poul's favorite hymn?" "Kaj Munk's number 634." ""You Know My Heart. "" "You know my heart;" "you know that God is great;" "but great is his enemy." "So stay alert." "There you are." "I thought you'd gone to bed." "I'd like to talk to you." " Can we do it tomorrow?" "It's been a long day for little Christopher with all this attention." "I'd like to talk with you now." "OK." "Go to Dad's office, honey." "Take your blanket, so you don't freeze." "What is it with you?" "What's wrong?" "Is it about your cake?" "What if it isn't the devil that is testing you?" "What do you mean?" "What if he's not the one who's behind all your suffering?" "Oh, I see." "You're grasping at straws again." "If it's not the devil, who is it?" "A little elf?" "Or are the birds, the stove and the worms just coincidence?" "Is that what you go and say to people in town?" "God." "What?" "God." "I'm not following you." "What if it's really God who's after you, and not the devil?" "Why would he do that?" " Because he hates you." "I've read this book." "The Book of Job." "Have you read it, too?" "I haven't read it, but I've heard it's about a crocodile." "It talks about a crocodile, but there's so much more." "Do you remember that God killed Job's cattle, his camels and his ten children?" "He takes everything from Job and makes him a leper." "Does it sound familiar?" "I've never had a camel." " Look at me." "Look at me, Ivan." "You know it's God who's doing all this to you, right?" "God isn't on your side, Ivan." " Yes, he is." "I haven't believed a word you've said." "It's all nonsense." "You just need to get it into your sick head that it's God." "The devil hasn't wasted two seconds on you." "God won't help you." "He'll kill you." "But you're just so dense, you can't grasp it." "Why are you doing this to me?" " It's because I'm evil." "Heaven is on fire." "Has Ivan gone?" " Yes, I think so." "He's forgotten his paralyzed son." "Damn it!" "That's the new one." "Now we'll go to bed hungry every night." "He's finished." "You could use him for a paperweight." "Have you had coffee?" "Uh, no..." "Is he...?" " Dying?" "You bet your ass he is." "Why do you think the poor guy suddenly began bleeding out of his skull?" "I give him four or five weeks at most." "But that doesn't matter." "The most important thing is that he's come to his senses." "You must be happy since you've managed to destroy his faith." "That's why I wanted to give you a cup of coffee." "There is no need to." " Well excuse me." "Are you ready?" "Get up, Ivan." "We need the room." "Go with Adam." "Are you coming?" "Call me when he gets weaker." "I'll give him some morphine and a bed so he can sleep." "God hates us, Christopher." "He's always hated us." "He doesn't look too good." "Gather the others." "Yes." "Well, the fact is..." "Adam knows it already." "But, uh..." "Yes, I'm going to die." "What do you mean "die"?" " I'm sick, Khalid." "I'll be worm food." "You won't stay here anymore?" " No, that would be difficult." "What are we to do now?" "Well..." "I hope that you..." "I don't know." "I don't know what you should do." "I don't know anything anymore, Gunnar." "If I said anything that you can use, then do so." "And if not, then forget it." "I don't care." "I have nothing more to say." "Where are you going?" " I want a drink." "I need a drink." "I've earned a drink." "Gunnar..." " Leave me alone!" "Yes, you idiot." "Gunnar, that's stupid." "You had a hair." "There's one more." "Three..." "It'll be a small cake." "That's OK." "Ivan deserves a good cake." "What the hell are you doing?" "Picking apples." " Together with a Paki?" "What happened?" " It was a hit by a lightning bolt." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Do you want to make us laugh?" "You run around talking about apple sauce and you climb trees with a Paki?" "I think that you should leave now." " What did you say?" "He said to leave and take your fat friend with you." "Jørgen, let's teach our little black friend some manners." "What the hell are you doing?" " I got stressed." "You saw that he came with that psycho knee." "There are many witnesses." "He shot me, Esben!" "You were already shot." "Besides, I said sorry, fat pig." "Please, just leave, Esben." "You are going to regret this." "And you, you black bastard, you're dead." "Hello, are you stupid?" "I have a gun." "Hey!" "You can't just go around shooting people." "You saw the situation." "He came with that shoulder." "The psycho shoulder." "Oh, and his back, too." "Now stop that!" "It's because I'm out of balance." "It upsets me to see Ivan like this." "It's a shitty day." "I want to leave this faggot county." "You need to talk to Khalid." "Otherwise, there will be trouble." "Gunnar's also beginning to misbehave." "They need you." "I want to be left alone." "Yes, but I still think you should talk to them." "They'll listen to you." "I'll put the apples in the fridge." "Do as you please." "Gunnar, what are you doing?" "Nothing." "Where is Sarah?" "She's gone home." "What's with all that stuff?" " It's just an eggplant..." "And the racket?" "It was inside." "Everybody said it was inside." "Why don't you go in?" "Not while you're standing there." "Go away first." "Can I see your room?" "No." "She got very drunk." "What have you done?" " Nothing yet." "She just got drunk." "She wanted it." "Put that stuff down." "It's her own fault for getting that drunk." "I need to go to bed, also." "You come with me." "Go on." "Wow!" "Look at all the guns?" " Khalid, where are you going?" "Gas station." "Statoil must die." "Wouldn't you rather stay here?" " No." "You're not going to shoot anyone?" " Adam, I don't want to shoot you." "Gunnar, maybe." "But if you try to stop me, I'll shoot you." "Should we go with you, then?" "Would you rob with me?" " Yes." "It would be nice." "But you can't smoke in the car." "Fine." "I, I..." " Come on." "Get in." "I'll go in first." " Why?" "I just have to use the toilet." "Okay, two minutes, but no shooting anyone before I come in, Adam." "Hat on, Gunnar." "Hey!" "Is there a back door?" "Get out then." "Get out of here!" "Run!" "Run!" "Where are the clerks?" " They ran." "Oh, hell!" "Almost done?" " Don't you want some cigarettes?" "No!" "Just hurry up!" "Stop it!" "Let's go!" "Gunnar!" "Are you hurt?" "That went well, right?" "You have to talk to Ivan." "You need help, both of you." "He also needs help." "Come on." "Take off that hat." " OK." "Hey." "Where did you go last night?" " We went to the gas station." "Was I very drunk?" " No, you were very nice." "What are you doing?" "Where are the apples?" "We ate them." " You ate seven apples?" "The boy was hungry." "There was only beer in the fridge." "Oh, hell!" "You look good in that outfit." "Did we fool around last night?" "The girlie boys are here again." "There are more this time, Adam." "Go into the church, Khalid." " Hey!" "I run nowhere." "Look how many there are." "Go into the church." "Hey." "You can go to hell." "We just want the Paki." "Will you stop that with the noise!" "?" "You know what?" "It shouldn't be necessary for me to stand here and ask for a little peace and quiet." "I have six, perhaps seven days to live, so I think I deserve a little nap time." "I can't take more of your kind." "Please leave." "We just want to do the Paki." "Do what you want." "Just not here." "Take him to the woods." "I just want peace." "Get him!" " Oh, that's just plain rude." "Then we'll do this another way." "Give me everything that makes noise." "Come." "Yes, yes." "And this one..." "And this one, too." "What the hell was he doing?" "Idiot." "It wasn't my fault." "Come on, Esben." "Let's get out of here." "Oh, my God." "In medical terms, this is called a Half-Kennedy." "He won't recover from it." "I can assure you of that." "Well, you just say your good-byes and I'll make a pot of coffee." "I think it's a bit outrageous to take the church's car, Kahlid." "Shut up, Gunnar." "Goodbye to you all." "You could stay until Ivan returns." "Ivan is finished as church choirmaster." "I'm going home now." "It's best for me." "What do you think, Adam?" "It's your decision." "I'm sorry about Ivan." "And it's a shame about the apple pie." "See you later, Adam, and Sarah." "Fuck you, Gunnar." "Yeah, okay." "Go to your room." " Don't get angry, but..." "Where did you get that from?" "I'm afraid you'll hit me." "I took it by mistake." "Sorry." "Yes?" "His bed is empty." " Yeah." "Where is he?" "It doesn't make sense." "I'm a man of science." "I believe in figures." "I'm going somewhere where people die when they've been shot instead of sitting in the garden and eating cheeseburgers afterwards." "He's sitting in the garden?" "Half an hour ago he got up and went for a walk." "The bullet simply shot away the tumor." "Now they say that the idiot is healthy." "I've had enough." "Hey, Adam." "I baked an apple pie." "Yes." "Shall we try it?" "And what is the child's name?" " Ivan Lambert Andersen." "Ivan Lambert Andersen." "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit." "Amen." "Thank you." " You're welcome." "Bye, Adam." " And remember to come and visit us." "We won't have time." " We're going to Indonesia on Monday." "Oh!" "Is it because of the Tigers?" "No, it's because I plan to play tennis again." "They've got the best courts." "But mostly, it's because of junior." "There, no one will notice his Down's syndrome." "He'll just look like the natives." "Yes, tigers really are fascinating." "You're always welcome." "Adam, we have to go." "Aren't you going to change?" " I'll do it in the car." "Come on, Gunnar." "Arne and Noller." "Hi!" "Ivan Fjeldsted." "Just call me, Ivan." "This here is my assistant, Adam Ole Pedersen." "We've been looking forward to meeting you." "Well, let's go." "I'll take the bags." "What's with your eye?" "I beg your pardon." " You look like a retard." "Do I?" "I think that's an awfully rude way to break the ice." "But we'll go through town and ask them what they think of me." "This isn't the place for that discussion because you'll lose." "The eye is fine." "We'll discuss it in the car." "Good idea." "Yes, come."
