"Ghosts from the past will not be silenced." "You learn an important lesson." "Star gazers Leo July 23" " August 22" "And now to the main item on the agenda..." "The holiday fund!" "I'm sure everyone is excited to hear how matters stand." "The grand total today is 7 3,339 kroner." "That's considerably more than last time." "Yes, isn't that because you took so much off me?" "And there's the big question:" "What shall we do with the money?" "How about we go and play paintball or something ...or go on some trip..." "You'd like paintball." "A trip!" "Exactly what I was thinking, Olafur." "Actually, I've been looking at the matter and have found some attractively priced trips to Sweden." "Very tempting." "Hey, take it easy." "Why Sweden?" "Not just Sweden, Olafur." "I just suggested that as a possible idea." "It's just that there we get free accommodation instead off a small work contribution." "This is a self- sustaining society, built on optimism and humanis ideals." "Yes, I..." "I mean, I don't like all that talk about society!" "I think that's very weird." "Are you suggesting that we go to a commune in Sweden?" "This is crazy!" "It's no commune." "It's 30 people who live in a small area in houses they have built themselves." "It's a sort of self-sustaining group..." "I mean, why can't we, you know, go to some place hot?" "Sun, sun, babes, beer." "Chill." "You know...somewhere like Benidorm." "Do you have accommodation there?" "This can't go on, taking Flemming to work with you." "He will have stay at Bjarnfredur's tonight." "Does she have any time for him?" "Yes, yes." "I've spoken to her." "It's not a not a problem." "But it is a problem when the child welfare people are involved." "If they get in touch with me again..." "Yes, well they won't getting in touch again." "I want Flemming to enjoy spending time with his father." "He does enjoy it." "You have to do something fun with the boy." "Not let him collect cans for you at all hours of the night." "Collecting cans is fun." "Not for Flemming!" "You could got to the cinema or watch a video." "Flemming is saving up for a games computer." "You could play games on it together." "Games computer?" "..." "Look, I've tried to bring give Flemming a professional upbringing." "I have a degree in pedagogy and you do not." "No, but you should have enough sense to respect the laws regarding how late children are allowed to stay out." "Er... yes, well that was an unfortunate misunderstanding." "It was absolutely unnecessary for the police to be involved." "It won't happen again." "He's going to Bjarnfredur tonight?" "I can be quite sure of that, right?" "Yes, I'll call her right away..." "I don't want another call from the police." "Otherwise I shall have to contact a lawyer." "You know what that means." "All right." "Yeah, right." "All right." "Yeah,right." "All right." "Yeah,right." "All right." "Yeah, right." "Hello!" "Is that Nasa bar?" "Yes, hi there." "Olafur here, Sol's agent." "...the band Sol...from Sandgerdi." "Yes, I called you last week." "No, I don't think I spoke to you." "I was going to book your place for a big concert." "Yes." "Eh?" "Will cost me?" "Now, hold on." "I thought you paid for the band." "No, I'm not joking." "Really?" "How much?" "I see." "Well, yes, I'll think it over." "Yes." "Thank you." "Yes, bye." "Right!" "Yes, hello Bjarnfredur." "It's your son." "Yes, hello dear." "Well, how are you then?" "Very well, thank you for asking." "Everything's just fine." "How's your foot?" "Getting better all the time." "Listen, a little problem has come up here that we need to sort out." "Concerning the boy?" "Yes." "The thing is, I have to go to a meeting tonight so I can't possibly babysit." "But, couldn't you..." "It's one of those nights that I want just to myself." "I don't have a great deal of time for myself, do I?" "No... so there's no way you can take him?" "No, not tonight." "Oh well...you have a good time...enjoy yourself." "Listen, you can't go to your grandma's tonight." "So we'll have to find some solution that suits us both." "Haven't you got anything to do?" "Yes..." "I could..." "I could find something..." "Why don't you go outside and play or something?" "Can't I finish this level?" "No...go outside and play.... ...and make sure you don't stay out later than the law allows." "You have to show you can be responsible, Flemming." "I can't always take the blame when you stay out longer than you should." "Can't I play?" "No, I'll take that." "Right, now go outside and get some exercise." "It'll do you good after all those sweets you've eaten." "There's nothing to do outside..." "Yes, there is." "There's a lot to do." "You can take a walk and find things all around to look at." "Put on some rubber gloves, take a black rubbish bag, and pick up all the leaves outside." "Come and show me when you're finished." "Isn't that a good idea?" "Hi" "How are you doing?" "Hey, what do you reckon about that idea of going to Sweden?" "I don't know exactly..." "I mean, do you want to go to Sweden mor....?" "No..." "I... no..." "I was wondering whether we couldn't be on the same side here and just tell him: "Hey, listen, we don't want to go to Sweden, man."" "You know, something like that." "At least it would be two against one." "No, I don't think we should make any fuss right now." "I mean, there's still lots more to save... for the fund...and, I, you know  well, I'm not sure I want to go on any trip." "Don't you want to go to Benidorm...?" "No..." "I'd rather not, you see." "It would be terrible if I ended up going to Sweden with him on my own." "Christ!" "Hello?" "Yes...oh...didn't it go through?" "Well, I mean...er..." "I don't know." "Yes, I...the thing is I..." "Something must have gone wrong in the bank sorting system." "I'm working at a petrol station." "The Shell station on Laugavegur." "What the hell are you doing?" "Yes, I have to, need to...put 40,000 on my tab because I need to go and do something..." "Are you taking money out of the till?" "That's theft!" "No, I wasn't going to, you know..." "You can take if off my wages." "No!" "You can put various goods on your tab, Olafur, within reason, that is, but this is out of the question." "What about just 15,000." "No!" "Can you lend me some money then?" "He thing is, I..." "You can forget that!" "Georg?" "Hey, I found him outside." "What the hell!" "What have you done?" "Why is your face like that?" "I don't know?" "What happened?" "Er, some boys out there...were bullying me." "Did they draw on your face?" "Yes." "Where?" "Outside here?" "By the block of flats there." "Damn!" "Olafur, keep an eye on Flemming." "I'm going to have a word with those boys" "And Flemming, you make sure that Olafur doesn't touch the cash register!" "And Samuel, you...keep an eye on both of them!" "Let me see that." "Do you know what "flaming gay" means?" ""Flaming gay"?" "That means...that means being in a really good mood... happy, pleased about being alive...that kind of thing." "Yes..." "Did someone call you flaming gay?" "Yes, those kids outside." "Who were they?" "I don't know." "Well, you shouldn't listen to them." "There always someone..." "I was teased quite a bit when I was young." "Were they older kids?" "No, they were usually younger than me..." "I wasn't really very good at school, you see." "I had to take tenth grade twice..." "Then I passed my driving test the following January." "Always drove to school after that." "What, while you were that young?" "Yes." "But couldn't you do the teasing?" "Being bigger, I mean?" "No..." "I wasn't the biggest then." "Actually, I was the smallest." "But, I did have the car, then I started smoking." "Then it all stopped." "Did people stop teasing you?" "Yes." "It all stopped when I started smoking and hanging out with other kids who smoked." "Have you tried smoking?" "No..." "Yes, there you go." "Personnel on the forecourt?" "Was it this one was teasing you?" "What?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "He wasn't one of them?" "Alright, piss off and don't let me see your face around here again." "Hello?" "What, you're home already?" "OK." "Yes, yes..." "No, there's nothing wrong." "Can't we talk later?" "I need to...." "Yes, well no." "I'm just a bit busy at the moment need to, yes...have to work a bit." "I just have to..." "I'm at a petrol station on Laugavegur." "It'll be great fun, man." "I mean have you been to a foam disco?" "No." "It's brilliant, all covered in foam... dancing, having fun..." "Look, I need to leave for a while." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Does Olafur work here?" "Olafur Ragnar?" "Yes." "Yes, he works here." "Could I have a word with him?" "Grandpa, can I have some sweets now?" "First we need to get the money, Steindør." "Yes..." "I think he's in the lavatory." "Are you coming out?" "Hello." "Is that the man, grandpa?" "Yes, that's him." "Well, have you got the money for the GPS?" "Yes, the thing is, my sister was going to lend me the money but it didn't work out..." "Yes, yes, yes." "She's had to go off to the country but she'll be back on Monday." "Listen, it's either the money or the GPS." "Yes, well I have 5,000 here..." "Now see here!" "Just give me the GPS!" "Hey...what about having a tab here at the garage." "You could get various things on my tab." "Not a bad deal being able to take out 35,000 kroner's worth of goods." "We have all sorts of products, car polish, dusters..." "Is there something the matter with you, lad?" "I don't want to be paid in dusters?" "I want the GPS." "You've taken me for a bloody fool." "Look, I'm really sorry..." "Yes, not go and get the GPS!" "Yes." "Steindør, this is how to deal with halfwits like this." "You have to speak very loudly to them in order to make yourself understood." "It's the only way to get through to them." "Are you going to give him a good hiding, grandpa?" "Yes, I may well have to in the end, lad." "What is going on here?" "Didn't you say you were going to put it in a jeep?" "Is that the jeep?" "Yes." "You mean you take this into the countryside?" "Yes, I have always have." "Where the GPS?" "I can't get it loose." "There's something keeping it fixed..." "Good, well now I'm finally done with you." "And don't you think you owe the man an apology, Olafur?" "Yes, I..." "I'm really sorry to have caused you all this trouble." "Yes..." "Can I have some sweets now?" "Yes!" "Of course, you can have anything you like." "If the boy wants some sweets and if you'd like something." "Just take what you want." "You can have as many sweets as you like..." "Are you sure I can't offer you something?" "Well, I wouldn't mind a soft drink... and do you have any hot dogs?" "Hot dogs?" "Of course." "Olafur!" "Get the man a hot dog" "Fried onions, mustard, the works." "Daniel, would you like a hot dog?" "No thanks." "That makes a total of 2,416 kroner, all of which goes on your tab, Olafur." "And with the surcharge that makes it 3,308 kroner, which means that 892 kroner goes into the holiday fund." "Please sign here." "Perfect." "Hi!" "Hi..." "What's going on here?" "Nothing..." "Have you completely cracked up or what?" "Daniel!" "The thing is I just had to get away from the university..." "It was all getting too..." "Have you quit university?" "Yes, well at least for the time being." "I just don't know who you are any longer, Daniel." "I don't feel as if I know you at all." "No..." "I have to..." "What do you think your father is going to say when he hears this." "Look, don't get Dad involved in this." "I'll just don't get him...." "Mum and Dad wouldn't understand." "Your father is a doctor, Daniel." "Yes." "The thing is I just need to get away from all that." "I need a break from all this nonsense so that I can decide for myself what I want." "If you're thinking about stopping taking your degree and working here instead..." "So that's it, is it?" "That you would...just... are you just with me because I'm studying medicine?" "No Daniel..." "If I decided to work here, would you break up with me?" "I just can't wait for you to "decide what you want to do"." "I just don't have time for that." "Dad." "Yes." "Can I take a sandwich from the cooler?" "You have a sandwich already." "But it's horrid." "That is spelt bread with hummus." "It is not horrid, it's gourmet food." "I want something else." "You can want what you like, but this is what you are going to eat." "And, no, you cannot take a sandwich from the cooler." "We do not eat white flour products." "You know that." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon...?" "Still daytime as far as you're concerned, eh?" "Evening here." "I meant good evening." "Petrol, 3,000 kroner." "Which pump?" "Number 1." "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" "I don't know." "Isn't it Goggi?" "Goggi fatty?" "Eh?" "My name's Georg!" "Weren't we at Retto?" "My name's Orlygur." "I know very well who you are." "Hye...nice...to, I mean, good to see you." "I've sometimes thought about you." "I mean, when one casts one's mind back." "I wasn't very nice to you." "No, you were not!" "I've always wanted to apologize... for behaving like I did back then." "Was there anything else?" "No, thanks" "Tell me, what line of studies did you pursue, Gudlaugur?" "Orlygur, actually." "I'm an electrician." "Ah, an electrician eh?" "That hardly requires a university degree?" "No." "I have five university degrees:" "Psychology, sociology, pedagogy, political science and a teaching qualification." "How come you're working at a petrol station, then?" "OUT!" "Yes, but I..." "Get out of here immediately!" "Er, my debit card?" "Yes, would you like a receipt?" "No thank you." "Out!" "Goggi fatty." "Damn!" "Watch the door Olafur, Daniel!" "Fucking moron!" "Yes, good evening." "Could you put me through to the police in Reykjavik?" "Yes, good evening, I would like to report an impending attack by a highly aggressive individual." "At the Esso garage on Laugavegur." "Georg Bjarnfredarson!"
