"She wasn't sleeping at all." "She was looking at the photo of grandma." "Such a shame she didn't get to see her first great granddaughter." "She sleeps now." " I was quietly rocking her." " Yes, but you also woke her up." " Stop it, daddy!" "You are jealous." " Of course." "It's not everyday you become grandfather." "Take two." "It is great to come home and get spoiled." "Why don't you stay here?" "Dad and I could help you." "You don't have to go there now." "Why don't you settle for the weekend?" "I just wish you were going with somebody." "But all alone..." "I won't be alone." "My child is with me." "Promise to call everyday." "I already told you I want the last part of my leave up front." "Oh, no!" "Terrible!" "Can it be fixed?" "Throw it out." "I don't know why I kept it for all those years." "36 years ago I was here too." "Carrying you on my arm." "Just one week old." "Eva!" "If you only knew how happy I am." "You are a mother." "You have a wonderful baby girl." "I'm sorry." "I'm being silly." "No." "I also cry sometimes." "Because she is so perfect." "The little girl." "Our little princess." "Lunch is served!" "This place needs a caring hand." "Why don't you stay in the guest room?" "I like this room." "This was grandma's." "I always came to sleep in here." "It smells damp in here." "The covers need some fresh air." "Let's go for a walk by the water tomorrow." "Red wine?" "No thanks." "Eva, Mette from dads factory has just moved down here." "She also has kids." "Just so you know she's there." "If you need company." "I don't need company." "My little princess." "Come up to your grandpa." "Being a grandpa becomes you." "Being a mother becomes you." "Why didn't you think of that a little sooner?" "Come on." "No milk?" "That's better." "You're so nice." "Promise me you'll say hi to Mette." "She'll help you!" "I'll call you tomorrow." "Goodbye Eva." "Goodbye little honey." "Now, take good care of your mother." "Take good care of yourself." "Bye, bye." "I left behind the knitting for entertainment." "Wave goodbye to grandma and grandpa." "Goodbye, Eva." "Take good care of the baby girl!" "You're so good at waving." "Bye" " Bye!" "Now it's just like at grandma's and grandpa's" "Then, it's just the two of us." "Just the two of us, my darling." "Everything will be alright." "Don't you think?" "What now?" "Come on." "Are you too tired?" "Are you too tired to eat?" "Do you have gas?" "Sometimes I fell asleep too..." "Is nobody here?" "You are so cute!" "Here comes a little mouse and it comes to build a house..." "And here is mommy!" "Hello!" "Where are you?" "Are you going away?" "Sometimes I thought the waves were coming for me." "They came from far away and they got bigger and bigger." "They threw themselves against the beach and sucked everything out." "Once I got so afraid, and I ran home to grandma." "Grandma and I often went down here and greeted the water." "We collected rocks." "Grandma always picked the prettiest." "This is a nice hideout." "Nobody can see you,   but you see them through this secret peephole." "I hid here, when grandma was after me." "Can you see the water?" "Can you see that far?" "I don't even know how far you can see." "Now, now, little darling!" "What a mess." "I am sorry." "How could it happen?" "Probably all that oil in the water." "We have to take care, then." "Down we go." "Oh." "Mommy got grandma's apron wet." "Whew, I was startled!" " Hello, honey." " Did you set the clock in the living room?" "No." "Why do you ask about that?" "Because it's working." "I suppose you did it yourself." "An old habit." "Lise just called." "She wanted to know if the baby looks like you... and the Larsens says hi..." "They said: you never know if it's a boy or a girl." " Yes." " No." "You never know." "Mom, I have to go now." "She has to eat." "Come on." "Come on, now." "Stop." "Come on, try again." "You have to settle with the flask." "I haven't got any more milk." "What do you want then?" "Alas, my friend we lost you." "All you happy melodies are over." "Heavy is you coffin." "Even though it is made of paper." "Karl and Peter, they were priests." "And they praised you in their speech..." " Spoke so highly of your dead remains." " Grandma?" "But the cat ate the biggest part." "Thank you, for every pleasing tone,   which you sung." "Take comfort, the cat is staying with us." "Kiss, kiss..." "Damn it!" "Eva!" "Did the Merman give it too you?" "Save it." "It will bring luck." "Eva." "All that sand." "You have to take care." "It ruins grandma's dress." "Grandma washes it." "I will hang it to dry by the stove." " Hello?" " It's grandma." "You have to get used to it." "I hope you didn't sleep." "What would you prefer: grandfather and grandmother or grandpa and grandma?" "I don't know about grandmother..." "Mom, I'm tired." "Can't it wait?" "How is the little one?" "We visited Jonna." "We only talked about you." " Jonna is alone with two children..." " I have to go now." "She's crying." "Hurry, then." "Give her a kiss from grandma." "Goodbye, little darling." "I will call you tomorrow." "... But the cat ate the biggest part." "Oui, madame." "C'est moi..." "Lise, hello." "What are you saying?" "Congratulations on your little girl." "How are you?" "I am very, very tired." "I never knew it was so hard." " What do you say?" " She cries all the time." "Lise, are you there?" "Shall I call you again?" "I don't think I can do it." "I will call you on saturday, when I'm back in Copenhagen." "Perhaps I can come and visit you with your parents on sunday." "Goodbye." "You don't ever leave your child." "I can also cry." "Do you want me to cry?" "What do you want?" "What is the matter?" "Grandma...?" "Where are you?" "Grandma!" "Come and play with me!" "What is the matter." "Be quit!" "It is not healthy to cry that much." "I'm sorry, little honey." "Your mother doesn't know what she's saying." "Are you hungry?" "Friends again?" "Friends?" "Now, now." "Don't cry." "It is not healthy to cry that much." "Friends again?" "Yes." "Come on, let's go down to the Merman." "Look how big you have become, Eva." "Hello." "I'm Mette, your neighbor." "Our chicken lay too many eggs." "Do you want some?" "Your mother called and told me you are here." "Are you leaving?" "Where is the little one?" "You are not leaving without her?" " We just came back from a little walk." " You didn't come from the road." "We left through the kitchen door." "Kristian, come!" "He is dying to see such a small child." "It's not a good time right now." "She needs a clean diaper and some food." "Are you breastfeeding?" "Wonderful!" "Please come by sometime." "Are you still sleeping?" "Come up to mother." "Can't you wake up?" "Do you want something to eat?" "Come on now." "There is no milk, if you don't suck." "What is wrong with you?" "Wake up." "You have to wake up." "What is wrong with you?" "Do you realize that grandma and grandpa and Lise is coming today?" "Wake up, damn it!" "You don't want to be asleep when they come." "Wake up!" "Dr. Petersen is on vacation." "What is the matter?" "That is what I need to see the doctor about." "It needs a little food." "Go to the hospital in the city." "Everybody does when dr." "Petersen is away." " He has become old." " I will try the hospital then." "Where do you come from?" "Do you come from the Elmegaarden?" "Yes." "Then you are Eva?" "Marie's granddaughter." "I have to go now." "Goodbye." "You have to wake up, now." "You need to eat, do you hear!" "Food, food, food!" "As soon as they arrive I'll make you a bottle." "Promise me you'll eat then, okay?" "I you don't eat, I'll just tell them you had a huge portion." "But you'll wake up, okay?" "Do you hear?" "Hello, hi!" "Look how cute they are." "She looks a little pale." "Have you seen her fingers?" "So small they are." "Hello, little honey." " It's grandma!" " Doesn't she know, that we come?" "She is very tired." "If we meet anybody they think it's my baby." "Jorgen..." "Have a look." "The fridge is empty." "Not a crumb." " I suppose she ate it." " That's not like her." "She should have bought a little groceries." " Do you remember my grandma?" " A strict lady." "It's as if she looks after me." "That old witch is probably making sure you're not doing anything wrong." "She is dead..." "Isn't that your dad." "Jorgen!" "You have to wake up now." "Otherwise you will make them sad." "bad fitness." "I was going to the water." " Are you visiting the Merman?" " The Merman?" "It was something Eva's grandma came up with." "The Merman took the naughty kids." "If Eva was bad, he would take her." " What a thing to tell a child." " It works." "Eva is always nice." "Jorgen!" "It was horrible." "I thought is was a real child." "It is just a doll." "I found it so she had something to look at." "My apologies." "Eva!" "I will call, little honey." "Take good care of her." "Isn't she lovely, Lise?" "Yes, suddenly I want to have one of my own." "But I couldn't do it." "If you hurry, then she could have a playmate." "Goodbye, honey." "Thanks for a good day." "Why are you sleeping all the time." "They think you are sick!" "I tell you, wake up!" "Grandma..." "Is it you?" "Help me, grandma!" "No!" "No, no, no!" "Come up to mother." "You are so sweet." "Eat something, hear!" "In this house you eat your meals." "Straighten up." "You don't sleep when you eat." "You don't want your mother to be sad, do you?" "That's it." "Good." "Now we are friends." "Afterwards we'll go to the store." "Alas, my friend we lost you." "All you happy melodies are over." "Heavy is you coffin." "Even though it is made of..." "Are you leaving me?" "Don't even bother." "The house needs to be clean for the birthday." "Then it's just the candles." "Happy birthday to you... some for mommy too." "For she's a jolly good fellow..." "Now, just see this." "Oops!" "And then we go...vupsala!" "Vupsala!" "Grandma!" "I washed Dukkelise's clothes." "I'm so glad you took it." "I've been terribly concerned." "I called both yesterday and today." "Where have you been?" "Is it you mother?" "We were out." "Yes... yes, mom." "We just had a birthday party." "She is six weeks today." "Coco and cake." "The same." "I'm just so tired, mom." " Is my little princess asleep?" " Yes, the sea air is strong." "You should go and lie down." "Goodbye, mom." "Grandma?" "Is it you grandma?" "I'm sorry that I come unannounced." "Your mother called and asked me to come by." "She is a little worried." " But you look well." " Where is the baby?" " The Merman took her." " Who is the Merman?" "You don't know him?" "You don't know who he is?" " He takes the naughty kids away." " It is best to behave then." "I should ask you to call." "You mother couldn't get through." "Goodbye." "Please wake up." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "I can't..." "No, grandma!" "I can't..." "You knew the whole time." "I only thought that if I was alone with her, then perhaps I could do it." "In this house, where I played myself." "The waves were after me." "The Merman sent them." "He, who takes the naughty." "Help me, grandma." "Do you hear!" "Grandma!" "No !" "!" "!" "Eva?" "Eva !" "Shut up!" "Ripped and subbed for CG, 2011"
