"No, Not really." "The shift meeting is hereby set...and hereby adjourned!" "Eh?" "What?" "Georg is in some parade today because it's May 1st." "That means I'm shift manager." "OK." "So, it's a question of how we celebrate that you and me...." "Yes, right." "It's going to be a great day." "Yes, much nicer without...." "Not just because of Georg, see?" "I mean this is a big day." "Is the band playing then?" "No." "Money, my friend." "Lots of money on the way!" "And all of it going into the governor's pockets." "Oh?" "Yes, yes." "I'm going to become a millionaire tonight." "Prince Benjamin is on his way to Iceland." "What, the Nigerian guy?" "Yes." "After tonight, I'm out of here for good." "A yacht..." "Florida..." "Right!" "You're not serious?" "How much money did you let that man have?" "Only 250,000 kroner to open up the safety deposit box." "Matters are so complex out there, see." "I don't understand any of it." "Have to bribe a lot of people and that kind of thing." "So, I have the final payment here." "When I've handed over this money, we're all set" "Where did you get this money?" "I've been putting a bit aside for ages..." "You are walking straight into being embezzled, Olafur!" "I am not being negative, just realistic." "Look, to make money, you first have to lose money." "Yes, exactly!" "You're never going to see that money again." "That is basically the point see?" "Losing to gain." "Then, all of a sudden I've got over 22 million in my pocket." "No, I won't believe it until I see it." "There's a rotten smell to all this." "Damn, you really are totally negative, man." ""Outside and spread some salt on the forecourt!"" "Would you like some coffee or anything?" "It's free tonight, see." "No thanks." "We have to be in good spirits, don't we?" "You know, him away and all that." "We have to enjoy it." "Besides, this might be my very last shift." "Yes." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Is the president here?" "Eh?" "Olafur Ragnar?" "Doesn't he work here?" "Yes, just a second." "Oli?" "Oli!" "Olafur!" "There's a man asking after you." "Olafur speaking." "Talk to me bitch!" "There's a man here who wants to see you." "Olafur Ragnar?" "Yes?" "Hello." "I'm from the printers." "I've brought the posters for you." "Yes!" "Great... hello!" "2000 in all, right?" "Yes, that will be 69,872 kroner." "Well, I'll pay cash tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "Yes, absolutely guaranteed." "I did mention it to the guy that took the order." "He said it was no problem." "Yes;" "OK." "But I have The invoice here and..." "Yes, it will be in your account by lunchtime tomorrow." "Ok." "Yes, really nice job you've done." "Tell them that from me." "Look at this, man!" "Hello!" "Nothing we need now." "You just fill in this section here, the date, price and all." "Solinn?" "What?" "The band's name." "Shouldn't it have just one "n"?" "What?" "There's only one "n" in "solin"." "What?" "I don't know you mean." "What does it say?" "It says "Solinn"." "Exactly." "Solin." "I mean, it's not complicated, see?" "It's only a band." "Yes, but it's spelled here with two "n"s." "Yes." "What did you say' With what?" "You know there's only one "n" in the word Solin?" "You do mean sol as in "sun" right?" "Yes." "Yes, well then that's wrong." "So?" "That doesn't matter." "You really are negative, man." "This has just come hot from the printers and..." "What exactly are you trying to say to me here?" "Just that with 2 "n"s the word means something else." "With 1 it means "the sun" and with 2 it means "the sole"" "like the sole of a shoe." "I mean, you're going to have the whole thing printed again." "This is an error." "Yes, well." "Is it on all of them?" "What?" "That's..." "I mean...you do you think cares about that?" "Only some egghead like you would notice it." "Hello!" "Do you reckon it's going to cause a major catastrophe all over the country just because it's got 2 "n"s in it?" "No, that's not the point." "It just means something totally different." "It's blatantly obvious." "Sole of a shoe?" "Yes." "Kiddi?" "Speak, bitch." "Kiddi!" "How's the the governor himself?" "Just great." "We're rehearsing here." "How's my cousin doing?" "Hey, I'm pretty good." "You?" "Best ever." "Yes, OK man." "Hey, small problem here..." "How important is the name Of the band to you?" "What do you mean?" "Well, does it matter much to you whether Solinn has one or two "n"s.?" "I mean, anything sacred about the name itself?" "Right!" "In Solin?" "Yes?" "Wait a minute-Solinn written with two "n"s?" "Yes, I mean is it any big deal?" "I got this really good idea, see?" "Well, of course, it isn't the name of the band." "No." "Exactly." "Yes, I know that, see?" "Hold on." "Right!" "Wait, where is..." "Where have you been assembling spaceships, man?" "Yes, I don't think people really think that much about the name." "What?" "People?" "Wait a minute..." "what do you mean?" "My idea is that with Sol-inn, people are getting the sun directly into their hearts." "See where I'm going with this?" "Ha?" "!" "There are two "n"s in in "Solinn" aren't there?" "Yes." "Are you losing the plot?" "No, I just thought that somehow it could be..." "Nope." "I mean, of course, it naturally gives the band something special, unique." "Hey, it's just something to think about, man." "Hey, you're messing me up here." "we're just about to start here." "I haven't got time for this." "Yes." "Ok." "But have a word with the guys about it." "I mean, think it over." "Wait for me here." "Daniel." "Hello." "How dare you behave like that?" "When my brother Andres turned sixty, his sons both stood up and sang for him." "They had both just graduated!" "They sang for their father." "So what?" "Do you realise how much you've hurt your father's feelings?" "I'm sorry I couldn't make it." "I had to work..." "This isn't work." "At least, it's not a job you should be doing." "It's just a waste of your education and you abilities." "Can you explain to me why you have subjected your family to this shame?" "It's my life." "Your mother is in a terrible state over this." "And you've humiliated me on my birthday." "Humiliated?" "I wasn't even there to humiliate anyone!" "Exactly!" "You were not there." "You were not there when your father celebrated his 60th birthday." "How do you think that looked?" "What do you imagine people thought?" "Why didn't you just tell them I couldn't get there?" "I'd told Mum that I had to work." "One turns 60 only once." "Look, Dad, you're making a fool of yourself." "It's my birthday!" "And you're dead drunk." "You're coming with me to say sorry to your mother or..." "Or what?" "Or I refuse to let you have another penny." "Refuse to pay?" "You don't have to pay anything." "I can stand on my own two feet." "Well, if that's the attitude you are going to take, then I insist that you repay us for the past 23 years the amount that you've cost us in upkeep." "OK, fine." "Send me the bill." "You'll have that on your conscience, destroying our dreams of making a man out of you?" "That's great." "I'm not living out your dreams." "Now go!" "Go on, go!" "You're not allowed to be drunk here at the depot." "I've only got one son." "His name is Brynjolfur Gunnar and he works as a neurosurgeon in Boston." "Hello." "Hello my friend." "This is Benjamin." "Benjamin, my prince!" "How are you?" "I'm very good." "I'm in Iceland now." "Oh, you are in Iceland already?" "Yes." "Listen my friend..." "How do you like Iceland?" "Very good." "Listen my friend." "I have a problem." "You have a problem?" "A problem." "I'm at the hotel now and I have no money." "You are at the hotel?" "How's the hotel?" "It's good." "Listen." "They don't accept Nigerian money so I need five hundred extra." "Five hundred?" "Yes, for hotel and food." "Fix it for me my friend?" "Yes, no problem, I have five hundred." "I can give you more than that." "I have one, two thousand." "Two thousand?" "That would be very nice." "Thank you my friend." "Okay, two thousand kroner." "No problem." "No dollars?" "Dollars?" "Yes." "Hey, how much is 500 dollars?" "In Icelandic kroner?" "Yes 35,000 --approximately." "500 dollars?" "Right!" "Is that 35,000 kroner?" "Yes." "Are you sure or...?" "Yes, why?" "What's up?" "No, you see it's Benjamin." "He needs 500 dollars." "Benjamin?" "Are you constantly giving that guy money?" "No, the thing is he needs more for food, you see." "It's just that it has to be foreign currency..." "Look, Olafur, you have to stop this right now before you" "Lose everything you have." "No, he..." "Could you maybe lend me?" "Do you have any cash on you?" "No, I don't." "Have you lost your mind, Olafur?" "I'm not going to lend you a single penny." "If you wanted to get shafted from behind, that's your affair." "You can do that without my help!" "From behind?" "Right!" "Storm in your underpants or what?" "What's the matter with you?" "Yes, well I have enough to contend with of my own." "Don't get me involved in this." "Wow, man." "Somebody's really gotten out of bed the wrong side this morning and banged his head on the wall, too." "Is it because your dad came here?" "None of your business!" "Stop smoking here beside the pumps." "Get inside and do some work!" "Leave me alone." "Chill, man. "Georg"!" "Hi." "Hi." "How's things?" "Fine thanks." "Yes." "You?" "Yes, fine thanks." "What are you doing with that camera?" "Oh...just taking some pictures." "What of?" "I don't know." "Just stuff, things... the rubbish here." "cigarette stubs, all kinds of things" "Can I take a photo of you?" "What?" "Smile!" "This is going to be an amazing picture." "Yes." "My dad's sixty today." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "Have you bought him something?" "No, I didn't buy him anything." "Oh, why not?" "I couldn't get to the birthday party and..." "Yes, I see." "Yes." "Are you good friends or...?" "No, actually not, at least not right now." "He really wants me to study to become a doctor," "But that's not what I want to do, you see." "I didn't want to go to college." "It's just for arty-farty types." "Not right in the head, those people." "No, no right in the head." "Everyone working, everyone working, everyone working, and no one hanging about!" "Good evening, gentlemen." "Evening." "How things?" "Yes, fine thanks." "We're just doing our shift." "No news or anything like that." "No." "Of course, a lot of people have taken the day off on this important day." "And you gentlemen are in good spirits, I trust?" "Yes, yes." "I'm in great shape." "Yes, well, no one expects him to be in great shape." "Is that the face you're showing our customers?" "What face?" "This one..." "What about you?" "How was the parade?" "The parade?" "Yes, weren't you in some parade?" "You mean protest march?" "Yes." "Don't tell me you don't know the difference between a parade and a protest march, Olafur?" "A parade is something that little children and halfwits take part in on Independence Day and wave flags and stuff themselves with hot dogs and sweets." "I meant, like..." "A protest march is completely different." "It's when the proletariat and working people combine forces and demand better conditions!" "Yes, I was only joking, see." "Where do you think all these luxuries come from?" "Things like hot coffee, comfortable chairs accident insurance and occupational safety?" "Where do you think they all come from?" "I don't know." "Did you think your employer decided, out of the goodness of his heart to give you all you could wish for?" "Did you really believe that the company was so moved by your being and charisma that it did all in its power to provide you with these delights?" "I don't know." "No!" "Long before your time, the proletariat and working folk went on marches to fight for the comforts you now regard as inalienable rights!" "Do not show these people A lack of respect by calling their march a "parade"" "Hello?" "Hello?" "How are you my friend?" "I am Benjamin." "Nice to finally meet you." "You look very nice my friend." "No." "I'm not..." "Listen." "Do you have the money?" "No." "No money?" "No." "I talk to you on the phone and you told me you have the money." "No.." "I'm.." "I'm not Olafur." "You are not..." "Oluf Ragunar?" "No." "I'm Daniel." "Olafur is in there." "Okay, thank you." "Yes...is that the Reykjavik Police?" "Listen." "When we finish this I get the money, then you get your money." "Ah.. the twenty two point five million?" "Yes." "That's what you get but now I have to eat something." "Oh okay yeah." "I just, you know, I want to thank you for.. for choose me." "Ohh.." "You are a very nice man." "Yes yes and... because I was working in "stockfish" in Hafnarfjordur, and maybe that's the reason you send me e-mail?" "Because I was sending "stockfish" to Nigeria?" "Ahh.." "My mother is pleased." "She show me to tell you this." "Aahh.. the queen?" "That's great!" "Yes." "That is very nice, my friend." "You have had a very hard life and I want to..." "Did you.." "Do you have the money?" "Yes, of course." "Yes I have the money, right here." "Nice." "Yes, and the money I get?" "the millions?" "The millions?" "That will be put into your account at the bank in Lagos." "Oh, OK, so I sign this paper and then I get the money?" "No I'm sorry." "The bank in Lagos is closed tonight." "But you get it tomorrow." "That's no problem." "Oh, OK." "Which friend of Olafur's was that?" "The Nigerian embezzler." "Nigerian embezzler?" "Yes, Olafur has been pouring money into him." "He reckons he's going to get millions in return." "Olafur?" "He hasn't got any money." "He's got some from somewhere." "He had an envelope full of money tonight." "So, tomorrow we go to Thingvellir." "Yes, yes." "Go sightseeing in my car here." "This is the police." "Come out with your hands up." "It's on 17 tommur dekk now, but when I get the money" "I will change, and.." "Because the car has been changed for 38 tommur." "Yes yes, very nice car." "Listen..." "And if weather is good, we can always see Gullfoss and Geysir." "Yes." "And then Blaa Lonid, man." "I mean, you know, the Blue Lagoon?" "Very nice my friend." "Call the police immediately!" "Already have." "I can get you on a VIP list in Valaskjalf." "They are playing there out in the land?" "Yes." "It's very nice." "Where's the money?" "Hello!" "Take it easy." "I'm going to pay it back tomorrow with interest." "That is the property of the staff fund, you fiend!" "Yes, I just borrowed it!" "Where is it?" "Anyway, most of the money is mine, see..." "We were going to go to Sweden, you moron!" "Are you crazy?" "Give me back my money!" "I haven't got it anymore." "He's got it!" "Benjamin!" "Benjamin who?" "Where is he?" "I'm going to kill you, Olafur!"
