"Thank you." "Slippers, while you wait for your indoor shoes?" "Lovely shoes." " Wild boar?" " Correct." "Thank you." " There." "Shall we begin?" " Yes!" "God descends to earth as a child to befriend a lonely boy." " Smell that?" " I'm sensing a hint of Chippenham." "Exactly." "What we have done is switch from dry to liquid phosphate." "And lowered the acidity of the brine by one percent." "What effect does that have on the salt content?" "That's why we centrifuge each side of bacon." "To improve water retention and sodium distribution." " I'm tempted." " Consider it an investment." " Smoking?" " Half-warm. 55 degrees Celsius." "20 minutes drying, 20 minutes smoking." "Put me down for 1.5 kilos." "Should we set up a subscription plan?" "Could I sign up for two month, in case I get tired of it?" "Not normally." "But here is what I can do..." "Since it's you, Dag, we can link it to your Bacon premium package." "If we tie in the Star Bacon, there shouldn't be any problem." "Thank you." "And now..." "Finally..." " This." " No way!" " Look how big he is!" " He loves to eat." " Is that the ball I gave him?" " Yes." "Look." "There's a picture of you on the wall." " My lovely little bacon." " Your future bacon, Dag." "Your future bacon." " Who was...?" " Dennis." " A lovely boy." " He's never looked better." "You have reached Benedikt Skovrand." "Please leave a message." "It might be important." "Then he'll leave a message." " Aren't you at all curious?" " I'm a little on edge right now." "Maybe you should stop behaving like a teenage junkie." "You are the smartest two people I know." "Dag is feeling incredibly guilty right now." " That's why he's calling." " Maybe a little guilt is a good thing?" "You just went from girlfriend to psycho." "No, I didn't mean it like that." "I don't want him to suffer." "But with the skeletons I have in my closet..." "Dag's closet is straight out of Ikea." "Mine is a mass grave." "Soon you'll start boiling rabbits." "Don't drag him down to feel better about yourself." "I can't pretend my past never happened." "People do that all the time." "It's perfectly normal." " How about you?" " Me?" "You mean me and my well-hung little Ferrero Rocher?" " I don't know." "Things are fine." " Is that all?" "At the moment I feel more like his legal guardian or mom   than "My Northern Amazonic Love Dungeon"." "But what are your plans now?" "Right now I'm going to have a... massage." "What is this?" "It was in my pocket after Saturday." "Some brilliant idea I apparently had." " Have you met him?" " Don't worry." "I checked on-line." "The clinic's just up the street." "It's legit." "It will be nice with some intimacy without any strings." " Call when the rabbit start boiling." " Yes." "Bye." "You wanna play with daddy?" "Do you?" " Great." " No." "He's your kid." "You don't have to pay me to see him." "OK." "Thanks." "I'll wait here." "You have until 2 p.m." " Then we have to leave." " No problem." " Stay nearby." " Of course." "Great." "Thanks." " Are you kidding?" " Why?" "You actually believe he's inferior to you?" "Yes." "That's common in relationships." " But rarely because one is..." " Say it." "Black!" "Just say it." "Black." "Darkie." "Sooty." "Hottentot." "Or do you prefer good old "colored"?" "Tyrone, why are you in a relationship with... this?" "She's a great woman." "With this exception." "This racist believes she own Belgian Congo!" "You think you'e superior to someone you claim to love?" "What you have done, your skin color, should be irrelevant." "The heart doesn't follow the mind." "They've let white man dominate them or 600 years." "Martin Luther King said: "A man can't ride your back unless it's bent."" "You quote Martin...?" "Then allow me to quote Joseph Goebbels:" ""If the lie is great and simple enough,   people will eventually believe it."" "Your view of humanity is depraved." "Give me an example of one great invention by a black man or woman." "Penicillin, the automobile, X-rays,   man on the moon..." "All white." "Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf." "All white!" "Do you feel smarter than Barack Obama or Toni Morrison?" " Who?" " The Nobel laureate." "Or Charles Drew?" "You don't even know who he is." "He invented the blood bank." "Has saved thousands of lives." "You really don't know much." "I actually feel superior to you." "Because you're an idiot!" " Do you have any colored friends?" " I only have one friend." "And his problem is not his skin color." "You have chosen not to befriend immigrants." "I haven't befriended anyone." "Humans are horrible." " Are we?" " You are definitely no exception." "I stand by my beliefs." "And I love this man!" "Right." "You just believe he's a subhuman." "Tyrone, why do you put up with this utter nonsense?" "This doesn't come up so often." " What is your profession?" " I just finished medical school." "And you?" "Hello, Leni Riefenstahl!" " I studied sociology." " And now you're..." "A hairdresser." "I see." "Now, if you were to have children,   would you risk giving birth to an inferior child?" "Malin?" "Could you ready the bill for Uncle Tom and Eva Braun?" " Was that Eva Braun?" " No." "That was Grete." " Are you all right?" " Yes." "I think so." " I think we're about done here." " You have great muscles." " What are you doing?" " I got a little hot." "No, I think that's enough." "Thank you." "Much better..." "And he shoots and..." "No, he scores!" "OK, little big man, time to go." "What do you say?" "Ready to go home to Tom and mommy?" "This has been fun, huh?" "I wanna go with you." "I don't wanna go home." "Want to go for a drive instead?" "Yeah." " Hello?" " Benedictus!" "All well?" " Yes and no." "Mostly no." " Like life itself." "I'm done for the day, so I'm ready for action." "Something has come up." "Things are going to get hectic here." " Call me if you change your mind." " Absolutely." "Later!" "I thought I'd go home." "Malin?" " Malin?" " Yes, officer!" "Defendant number 1, Henry Oliver Rinnan, is sentenced to death." "Fire!" "Malin?" "Present!" " Are you all right?" " Sure." "Good." "Because I..." "I thought I'd head home." " Has night fallen?" " No, it's afternoon." "I know." "I'm just kidding." " What year is it?" " Dag, don't worry about me." "Stop writing." "Lie down and relax instead." " Sure." "See you tomorrow." "Bye." " Bye." "In order to understand human nature   you have to understand why children wave from merry-go-rounds." "And why their parents always wave back." " Pretty good analogy, huh?" " Yeah." "The thing is, Benedikt, you are now wanted by the police." "And Alexander risks being turned over to Child Services." "I didn't know what to do." "He grabbed my hand." "And I was sol." "I simply couldn't give him up." "Sit down." "Kidnapping." "This is serious." "This isn't some one-night stand you can laugh about tomorrow." "I know." "I just couldn't..." "You know..." "I was watching you watching your son sleep." "And I thought:" "This is what we leave behind." "Those who go on living with whatever we have given them." "Everything else is devoured by eternity." "First me." "Then you." " What do we do now?" " We?" "You go make sure your son is sleeping safely." " That's what fathers do." " And you?" "I'll make sure nothing happens to you." "That's what fathers do." " Hi." "It's me." " I can see that." " Don't you have a dishwasher?" " No." "There are a lot of things missing out here." "Can't we stop this?" "This "do everything you've never done before" nonsense." "It's stupid." "I know what I want." "I want to get... inside there." "And I want you in here." "That's all I want." "But there's a huge, black hole in here, Dag,   that can't be filled." "It's been like that since I was a kid." "I know you think you might be able to fill it,   but that's not the case." "You can't, Dag." "That's..." "That's one of my flaws." "And you don't want that." "Stop thinking that I measure or judge you in any way." "Because I don't consider myself above anyone." "I know I joke about it, but I really don't." "I'm... surprisingly simple." "I hate human beings." "That's basically it." "Hate them." "Just knowing I have to relate to certain people makes me sick." "Not because I'm better than them   or superior to them." "That's just how I am." "If there are more than four people in a room, " " I don't know what to do." "I see their mouths move, but I don't hear a word they say." "And I get scared, and I get angry, and I have to get away." "To avoid being reminded of how pitiful I am, I just stay away" "And in the middle of all that..." "I have realized... that I love you." "And Leon." "And that... terrifies me." "That you..." "You'll stop liking me when you realize how fucked up I am." "That's my fear." "I'm no catch." "But I'm over 40." "And I know what's out there and I have never wanted it." "There is only one thing I want." "And that is you." "And Bob Dylan's "Freewheelin'" on vinyl." " Jerk." " Can't you come home?" "You're all I want too, but the only security I have ever had   is being able to pack up and leave whenever I want." "That security has been my freedom." "And sometimes your door closing was like a prison door slamming shut." "Because I was left behind with the fear of everything I stood to lose." "You gave up that freedom when you had Leon." " I know." " But we're two now." "That should imply more freedom, not less." " That marriage proposal..." " That was just cute." "It was my way of expressing that you're the one I want." "You are a catch, Dag." "In that case it's in your eyes only." " I'm finished!" " You drank the whole glass?" " Are you having fun?" " Yes." "Are you done?" " I have some clothes left." " Do those flames go through the oven?" "Yeah." "So it's supposed to smell a little burnt." "Let's try..."
