"You should have a present on your birthday" "I don't need a present." "Here you go." "You know what that is?" "A glass ball." "A crystal ball." "It was your grandfather's grandmother." "God knows what horrors it has predicted..." "Nice name." "You might see your great love." "If you found Yngve in it I do not credit it much." "Simone!" "We'll have a birthday party and moving feast in one." "Hey, it's Olga." "I'm calling to..." "Nice pose, Simone!" "Stay still." "We are moving today... and thought we'd have potluck at six." "He might turn up..." "You are welcome to come." "Answer the phone, Simone?" "Hello..." "Hey, it's Yngve." "Congratulations." "Is your mom there?" "There isn't." "I know that's there!" "Do not be silly Go call." " I can't." " Why haven't you left yet?" " Mom's not here." " Tell her we can move in tomorrow." "Kilroy, what is it?" "Who rang?" "Wrong number." "The chandelier leave again." "And the rest of it?" "Maybe." "But let the party go on." "I've probably forgotten something..." "Are you sad?" "No, it's just so beautiful." "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "How could you?" "You nutcase!" "Why can't you be normal Piss!" "What?" "But Simone..." "Stop it!" "What is it?" " How could you forget him?" " What have I forgotten?" "Kilroy, my dog!" "Kilroy." "My God..." "You'll see him again." " Hello." "Are you new neighbors?" " Yes." " My name is Bert..." "Bert Axelsson." " Yngve Laurin." " It was my aunt's house." " Let me know if you want to borrow brushes." "Glaziers' putty, I have also." "brush cutter..." "I have bees." "If you want honey..." "Thanks." "Decent of you." "I'll have to ask the family." "See you." "Let me know if you are going out fishing." "I catch herring and perch metar." " And we cast for pike." " Ah yes, That sounds nice." " Here I am." " Was it just you..." "You seem to be put out." "I brought you a present." " Happy belated birthday." " How nice." "Did you remember?" "Open it, let's see what it is." "A dog leash." "It's a dog leash." " What's wrong?" " I forgot Kilroy in the move." "We're going to see if he's at the apartment." " Drive carefully." " Yes, yes." "Don't worry." "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "Kilroy!" "We'll keep looking on the way home." "Come on." " Have you seen a white dog?" " No." " I'll be late for school." " The main thing is that we find Kilroy." " Have you seen a white Iceland Tips?" " No." "Have you seen a dog?" "A white Iceland Tips?" "Have you seen a dog?" "Can't you say Yes or No?" "Fucking queer!" " It's hopeless." " I know he'll come back." "He could be run over!" "He could be dead!" "Kilroy!" "Is that you, Simone?" "Where's Kilroy?" "Find your dog?" " Find your dog?" " No!" "We'll place an ad!" " What are you looking for?" " The address of the new school." "No, You can't go with hair like that on the first day of a new school." "Go and tidy up!" "This good enough?" "Simone!" " Let go of my dog, shit man!" " This is most brazen!" " Let go of my dog, otherwise I scream!" " I'm warning you." "First, my dog, now innocent women!" "Are you perverted?" " Is he bothing you?" " He's nuts!" "He has stolen my dog!" "Now, release the dog!" "And damned fast!" "Come..." " That's not Kilroy." " But Simone..." " Where are you going?" " The school bell!" " The school bell!" " But the dog..." " Hello..." " Hello," " Excuse me." "Should I be here?" " Pull the curtain." " Are you the new student?" " Yes" "We expected you this morning." "I went the wrong way." "If you've been wandering around this long, it's best if you rest." "Sit by the window." "David!" "I'm Isak." "What are you smiling at?" "Quiet!" "So we welcome a new boy, Simon, welcome to the class." "I hope you'll like it, Simon." "Simon..." "Simon!" "Me?" "Yes." "Who else?" "Yes Ma'am, that'll be fine." "Look up page 54." "Simon..." "We just saw a film about chimpanzees." "For tomorrow, I would like you to find out more about chimpanzees." "Look for information you can find." " Piss-rat!" " Baboon-ass!" " Skunk-fart!" " Toad-filth!" " Idiot!" " You Idiot!" "You may talk at the break." "Isak, you can show Simon the school." "I will." "Shit!" "Check out the jacket!" "What's he doing now?" "What're you doing?" "Following you." "Why are you doing that?" "So you can show me around." "Stop!" "What are you doing down there?" "He slipped on a spot... and, he hit his lip." "So, I tried to help him up." "I fell... and hit my nose." " What's your name?" " My name?" "You do have a name?" " Simon." " Simon." "I'll remember." "Now go and wash up." "Stop, the excitement is over." " He's a bit strange." " He's cute." "Now you're in love with him..." "Now we'll devote ourselves to animals for awhile." "Probably no one has Monkeys at home." " You may have other animals..." " I had a bat." "A bat?" "A Brown long-eared." "But my Dad killed it." "Killed it, how?" "With a hammer." " Miss..." " Yes, Kattis?" "I have a Shetland pony." "It lives in the country." "I understand..." "I think it is too big to bring him here." "No one has any smaller animals?" "A walking stick." "It's small." " A walking stick?" " Yes." "That would be interesting to see sometime." "Has anyone any other animal?" "Simon?" "So..." "I have a dog." "An Icelandic Sheepdog." "I gave it to Grandpa." "I have birds." "What kind of Birds?" "I do not remember their names." "What do they look like?" "They are brown and so big." "They fly around at home everywhere." "You're kidding, right?" "No." "They can do looping." "Then you bring them for class the day after tomorrow." "Shall we say so?" "Okay" "The rest of you will be bringing your animals at other times." " What is looping?" " Doing this." "Which way are you going?" "Another direction." "What for?" "It's not for you." " What a cool jacket you have!" " Cool shit." "Do you want it?" "You're full of it..." "I've grown tired of it." "Take it." "I have stew take." "Try..." " Shouldn't we be friends first?" " No." "What the hell are you doing with my jacket?" "Isak!" "Isak!" "Come on!" "Isak!" "Great... great..." "You're still so..." "Close the door, please Simone." "Can't you keep it closed?" "You're dressed up!" "Going out?" " How was school?" " Nothing special." " What do you mean, "nothing special?"" " Just the usual." "How can you go a whole day in a new school without experiencing something?" "Look at yourself." "Why don't you go into town and buy some new clothes?" "Come." " Buy yourself something sweet and girlish." " I could borrow a dress from you..." "Stop!" "So!" "I need to finish this." "And I ba '... and so here ba'..." "Jonne's gotta twin..." "Straight into the wall like this ba '..." "And then, like me, ba,..." "Wow so here." "What are you doing?" "Come on now!" "Now you stop that!" " What?" " Stop copying me!" " Come on!" "Now stop you!" " Take it easy, Jonne." "He's cute." "We're getting off here." "450 kronor." " Aren't you going to pay?" " Kilroy!" "Think it pays for itself, do you?" " Hey, piss-rat." " What do you want?" " What is it?" " Thanks for the present." " He means the jacket." " What did you do?" "It was just a joke." "A joke?" "You call this a joke?" "And this and this?" "Sure..." "Shall we roast him over an open fire?" "Pull down your pants and cut his balls?" "Will always remain so after with the voice as a child." "Put him down the garbage chute?" "Let him go." "Go away." "Wait until tomorrow." "See you tomorrow, you piss rat!" "Must we endure this misery?" "Couldn't try something more simple?" "Just place well..." "What are you doing?" "Help me!" "I'll drop the chandelier!" "The ladder!" "Help me." " Honey, what's the matter?" " It's nothing." "A moment will pass." "I'm sensitive to heights." "Just a big child aren't you." "Look!" "What?" "It's a vision!" "Hurry!" "I can't see anything." " It's gone." " What was it?" "First it was like a light which became a door... opened and closed Though I did not enter." "Then:" "I saw the rocking chair though it was tiny." "It rocked back and forth." "Then... then it was over." "What does this mean?" "That somebody will appear." "Unexpected visits, it means." "Kilroy." "Any pictures you saw came from your head." "If you look long at the same point... can be..." "like... some hypnosis." "I read somewhere." "I know he's coming." "Knock knock!" "Knock knock!" "Knock knock!" "It's Kilroy!" "It must be Kilroy!" "Yes..." "This will do." " Father?" " Olga." " Grandpa!" " Simone!" "You little wretch." " What's the Father doing here?" " What do you think?" "I came to stay." "But first help me off with these boots." " Where did Father get them?" " I stole them from the matron." "Are for women, but I have not found another." "But my feet have swollen." "What is it, Grandpa?" "Are your feet sore?" "No, it's heart." "Listen." "It sounds so loud." "It's like a clock, you see." "Is this how you treat my clocks?" "Father can take care of the bells himself!" "Artists!" "You should not skimp on time, Simone." "Remember that." "Time... is very precious." "This belonged to your grandmother... years ago." " What's here?" " Wait!" "Some kind of clown?" "It's just Yngve." "Yngve Laurin." "It's my house." "I inherited it." "What the hell are you wearing?" "You should worry about that yourself!" "You're a fine one to talk!" "You probably wonder why I have come." "I have come here to die." "This is why." " It promises to be a nice day." " Yes, yes, yes." " the weather, I mean." " I understand... that it's damned improper..." "But at the damned hospital one can not die in peace." "You do not have time to die..." "with all the injections and thermometers." "All the pills you have to swallow!" "Otherwise, it was not so bad." "The nurses were nice." "And a wonderful orchestra we had." "But no place to die." "So..." "I ran away." "So you think to remain here?" "Yes." "What is this Mud?" "Poison!" "Are you trying to kill me?" " Should we call the hospital?" " Quiet, please, Yngve." " Who is that idiot?" "Why's he here?" " Mommy's in love with him." " Why would she be?" " He may not understand the Father..." "Father needs his rest." "We'll return the boots and get his clothes." "Do what you want..." "Don't forget the cello while you are out." "Simone, come here." "I just want to do what's best... they can care for him ther..." "I can't take responsibility..." "No, but I can!" "What if something happened..." "Well, you decide, Ygnve!" "We move out or you let Father stay in your house." " It's awful." " No, it'll be fine." "He will stay with us." "We came to get his things and bring back the things he took when he was sneaking out." "And then we fill out whatever papers you need, you and I." "What is it?" "Minesweeper with automatic anti-aircraft guns." "It is you who plays the viola?" "Yes, among other things." "Grandpa was hoping that you would take charge of the orchestra." "And he said to take care of the harp." "So he is not coming back, then?" "No." "Please, God... do not let Grandpa die." "Take Yngve instead." "Take that twat hat." "Hello, my dove." "How are you?" " Shit." " What?" "All of it." "Mom has lost Kilroy and we're here in Yngve's house and you..." "Grandpa, why should everything be so rotten?" "We've always been a family of Nutcases." "And it is not easy... to live with that kind." "But it is better than being Normal." "Why's is that?" "They are too careful." "They dare not look at the forces that move them." "We are full of forces that we can't begin to understand... like the ocean... with currents, streams full of... algae, and fish, and life." "The Normal build their narrow bridges over those ugly, alien waters." "We Nutcases we stay below... and let the stream carry us... though there are risks from the vicious winds." " Why?" " You should not worry so much." "Close your eyes now." " You want some coffee?" " I don't have time." " I will be too late." " Don't talk with food in your mouth." "You know what, Simone?" "I was thinking going with you to school." " To school?" " To say hello to your friends..." " Friends!" "I've hardly made any." " I realize that." "But I'm ready." " Just be a ordinary mother." " An ordinary mother would come along." "Right?" " A typical mom does not look like that!" " Like what?" "Like an extra in a hippie film!" " Ashamed of your mother, are you?" " Well, what do you think?" " Simon, was it Simon you're called?" " Yes." "Simon..." " Have you been sick?" " No, but Grandpa came." "We had to go to hospital and return some boots." "And pick up a cello..." "Tell me at Break!" "We're Writing now." "Your writing sample." "Go sit down now." "Pepsi..." "Eyes on your paper, Kattis." "Danny!" "Stop that!" "What is this?" "Are you cheating?" "I'm not cheating." " Will you lie too?" " I haven't cheated." "What is this then?" "Let's just see what it says." "You may want to read yourself." "Miss can read it." "Forgive me, Isak." "I get carried away sometimes." " It's you, Simon, one to blame!" " Me?" "Don't play the fool!" "It says right here:" ""No, Simon I don't want to cheat."" ""Ask someone else." "Isak."" "But I..." "There is no point in playing innocent." "So good." "We're talking at the break." " Simon, you stay." " Have fun." "Do you see how stupid it was?" " Do you?" " Yes." "What's he been up to?" "Listen to this..." "He's been helping me grade papers." "Oh yeah..." "But keep an eye on him." "You don't seem to have made a good impression on Master Duvan." "Sit down." "Simon..." "You must learn to fit in." "I have a good class." "I want to keep it that way." "I understand that starting a new school is difficult." "I should talk to your parents." "That's not necessary." "Are you worried about something?" "Something at school... or at home?" "No." "Don't be afraid to tell me." "There's nothing." "Then go..." "Run along." "But you..." "Don't forget what I have said." "No." "Goodbye." "She was pissed, huh?" "Awful." "Furious., eh?" "Terrible." "Then we are even, piss-rat." "Now we can be friends." " It's good." " Thank you." "You should not play with food." "Ugh, you're so gross!" "The world's most disgusting." "Look, we're so disgusting." "Damn!" "What, you again?" " He punches hard, huh?" " Terrible." "We're outta here." "Jump off" " Where are we?" " Wait and see." "Come on." " Cool, huh?" " Yes." "Simon, come here." "Click that." "Wait..." "Now you can press it." "It works!" "Pepsi!" "I'm the greatest!" "Pepsi is the best at that." "Have a light?" " Do you want to hear another one?" " No!" "Please!" "He can let one any time he wants." "Really?" "He's been training since he was little." "The laundry room was full of his smelly boxers." "What are you going to do about your birds?" "Damn!" "Damn!" "Ahia!" "Whats?" "I don't have any." "Tell them they have gastritis." " She'd never believe me." " Why did you say it?" "I came so." "I'll have the birds in the morning." "It'll work out." "How?" "I just will." "Leave it to me." "Time to go!" "To the swimming pool!" "Come on, Simon." " I don't want to swim." " Then wait for here." "Duvan goes crazy if you're late." "I'm coming." "Simon!" "Where you going?" "Time for swimming." "We have limited time in the pool." "What kind of swimming you do?" "Begins to enter." "Birds?" "There's seventeen birds that I need to come up with." "Simon!" "Simon, out!" "Get out of here!" "Simon!" "Let me go!" "Follow me!" "You can stop now." "Ridiculous!" "What were you thinking?" "Now you stay in the locker room for the rest of the hour!" "Crawl!" "Kick with your feet... so..." "Bend your knees." "Stretch your arms forward as far as you can." " I'm diving from 5th level." " You shouldn't." "I beg you, knees bent and arms outstretched." "Isak!" "Isak!" "Come down immediately!" "It was not for you!" "Isak!" "Come here!" "What laughter!" "Where have you been?" "I was being punished." "Haven't you heard?" "He was in the girls locker room." "Tell me..." "Did you see Kattis's tits?" "There was nothing to see." "Damn, you're Crazy." "Miss, I cannot draw the wing." "And the bill is too large." "Sit down and I'll help you." "How do you draw a seagull?" "Pepsi, can you help Simon draw a seagull?" "Coming." "Here's a seagull flying." "Over the water." "This is sharp." "Seagull reflected in the water." "There are two hunters, the first hunter shoots one shot and misses, and shoots and misses." "This is just for guys." "Then shoots another shot and misses there." "This hunter shoots a shot near and so a shot... brings down a seagull, and here is the beak." "Now you know how to draw a seagull." "Why are you laughing?" "What are you doing?" "Blotan, Blow your nose." "What is that?" "Those are my panties!" "Give them here!" "Give her her panties!" "Quiet!" "Quiet!" "Now we'll stop for today." "Pepsi and Blotan, you clean up!" "Isak, don't forget the birds!" "All right." "Simon, close the window." "I'm glad you came to our class." " Are you?" " Yes." "You're not like the other guys." "You're... different somehow." "I don't really know..." "It's hard to explain." "You're more genuine." "What do you mean "genuine?"" "You just are who you are." "I'm tired." "Let us pause a little." "I live here." "Goodbye." "I like you." " And I you." "But I have to go in." " Wait." "You must hear this song." "Is it good?" "Yes?" "You bit my lip, Simon!" "Oh Damn!" "What are you doing in my garden?" "What a fool!" "It's my mother's boyfriend." "You call that art?" " You call that art?" " It's for a weekly magazine." " It's a lousy picture, my hen." " Will the Father be quiet now?" "To do a picture of the Mother and the joy of life!" "Take a look, how glad she looks." "She knows nothing of happiness!" "I suppose she had no Father to guide her." "Father cannot move in and play God-the-Father, as he did to Mother." "I don't live here." "I can move." "Do it, then!" " I will do it, then!" " Then do it!" " Hello." " Hey, baby." "What happened?" "What?" "Listen..." "Now you shall see." "Come on." "Do not be afraid." "Come on, you see." "This is for you." "A suprise." "What is it?" "It's for you." "I got it today." "You were so sad about Kilroy." "I thought this might cheer you up a little." "Happy?" "Sorry." "What?" "Thank you, Yngve." "But it is not." "Is not it cute?" "It is very cute." "I bought it for you." "It's beautiful." "I'm sorry." "I have to wait for my dog to come back." "Don't you realize?" "He will not be back!" "He may have been hit by a car!" "Let's take the puppy back." "Then you and I will take a road trip." "It'll have to be a taxi if we do." "So you are Simon Kroll now?" "Yes." "Why does everything happen to me?" "Does it never end?" " You're a Nutcase." " I don't want to be a Nutcase." "It's the little devils they're playing with you." "If there was one who created the universe... with snails, and suns, and worms, and humans... it was no mundane Normal." "It was a pretty divine Nutcase." "If he'd created a paradise, where nothing was ever amiss... he'd get bored, and it'd lead to a longing for adventure." "So he takes guise of a devil... and brings with him confusion and nonsense..." "To give himself a good story to laugh about." "You understand?" "No." "Are you going now?" "Leaving?" "I will stay a while." "Show me." "What will happen now?" " Oh, it's just Simone Kroll." " Turn off the lights." " Where are you going?" " I've got something to do." "And make no noise." "Me?" "Who is the noisy one?" "Come on, I'll show you how to creep around." "Anyone there?" "Who is it?" "Can't a person get a glass of water?" "Come on, you get water, too." "Stay close to the road." "Don't lock up." "I'll be back soon." "Come on, little ducks..." "Yngve's wonderful breakfast muesli." "Again." " I've had enough." " Sit down!" "Again." "You call yourself a musician..." "Only one..." "You look pretty tired." "Grandfather made a ruckus in the kitchen." "I couldn't get back to sleep." "Now eat." "Maybe it will be calmer today." "We can only hope." " Enjoy your meal." " Thank You." " I've fixed the birds." " I know." " It was quite a lot." " I know." "Are brown." "What's wrong?" "Good morning." "In with you now." "Good morning." "Why's the door closed?" "Is it a suprise?" "You could say that." "Get the Window open!" " What are you doing?" " Nature studies." "We have hunted them all!" "They're gone now, Miss." "It's over now." "What was this good for?" "It was me." "What?" "It wasn't my intention." "It wasn't your intention?" "That there would be so many." "It was my fault." "Your fault?" "They were my birds." "Your birds?" "I said I had birds but I didn't." "I was supposed to present them today." "Then Simon came up with these." "The rest of you can go." "I want to talk alone to Simon and Isak." "Farewell, darling." "So take a seat." "Well, Simon." "You understand I will have to talk to your parents... and to Isak's." "Master Duvan said he found you in the girl's locker room." "Are you listening?" "Are you?" "Yes" "First there was trying to cheat, and now with the birds." "I will discuss this with your parents so we put an end to this." "Come on now, Stefan!" "Come on!" "What happened with Miss Arlan?" "Miss Arlan is going to talk to my Mom." "She seemed very put out." "She must not like birds, Isak?" "You think?" "Fucking cool - check it out!" "I thought we were even!" "I thought we were friends!" "It just happened." " Just happened?" " There were too many!" "Isak!" "Does the Kroll family live here?" "Are you from the hospital?" "What hospital?" "Come for the crazy man?" "What crazy man?" "He came a couple days ago." "You know what she was wearing?" "He had on boots and long underwear." "Are precisely types strange." "Hear that!" "He plays double bass in the middle of the night." "I'm here on a different case." " So you're not the hospital?" " No, not the hospital." "Then she came to see the damage it has combined." "Has done something?" "You're from the insurance company." "How hooligans." "Your case is to get the estimate!" "The man with the weird hat who lives with her daughter." "What has he done?" "What has he done?" "He ran over my garden." "And through the fence... then up and down on the lawn." "Then he mowed down the beehive." "I am not from any insurance company." "Really?" "Are you serious?" "Yes." "You come for the kid?" "Yes, well, better off without the mother." "Your mother?" " She tried to steal my dog." " Steal your dog?" "Yes." "But the kid is thief." "Leaned that in school I suppose." "I couldn't say." "Thanks for the information." "Stand still." "I can't paint If you are not standing still." "You must hold your stomach." "It must be the model." "So glad you could come so quickly." "And coat..." "This is Yngve." "He is not a professional." " Hello." " Hello." "I squeeze there, so..." "What a lovely body." "It has certainly been through a lot." "If you add up here..." "Perfect!" "Arm through..." "Relax." "Keep your eyes on the world as it lays at your feet." "Sorry to stress you, but I have to get this to the magazine." "I'll be a picture of the joy of life." "A mature, plump woman  and a Roman god surrounded by love, dark,.." "lust and play, love and folly." " There's some mistake." " Yes, instead you should look bored." "It'd be rotten to enjoy all that." "Can you put your feet up?" "I don't think so." "I miss..." "You should have the right to enjoy life too." "Yngve, you need not stand there anymore." "It's about his son." " Yes." "There have been problems in school." "It's very sad." "We're sorry..." "Relax the left arm." "Is it serious?" "I don't know what to do." "Well, I'm no expert." "You still have to speak up." "Of course." "You can relax..." "You can talk, I'll listen." "He comes in late." "It's like he needs to prove he is tough." "He was found inside the girls' locker room." "And he cheats..." "Something like it is..." " It sounds serious." " Is that all you have to say?" "Forgive me, but I'm in such a crazy hurry." "I have promised the magazine." "Thank you for talking." " You should be proud of your son." " My son?" "He plays tough to seem grown up." "My kid is like that also." "Bye." "She did not understand!" "I meant her son!" "Here is your coat..." "and she has no son." "Bye." "Let go!" "Let go!" "Tell me what you are up to!" "What do you care?" "I haven't done anything!" " Why are you pretending to be a guy?" " You don't give a shit!" "Simone!" "Stop, Simone!" "Stop then, Simone!" " Come down!" "Come down!" "Hell!" " Never." "Don't you think this is dangerous?" "I'm staying here!" "You are fucking crazy!" "If you want to catch me you'll have to come up!" "No!" "Stay away!" "Nearly got you!" "You'll fall!" "We'll see!" "Stay Away!" "Yngve, you fucking twat hat!" " Yngve" " Help me." "Help me!" " I coming." " Simone!" "Help me, then." "Simone!" "Help me, then." " You can't say anything." " What?" " You can't tell anyone about it." " OK." "I have to do it myself." "Otherwise, it'll just make things worse." " Do not you agree?" " Yes" "Like you might end up kissing girls?" " Help me down." " Sure." " What is it?" " It hurts." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Come..." " Where have you been?" " We climbed the tree." "He's a great climber." "All that work!" "They did not want it, huh?" "The assholes!" "Ouch!" " What is it with your foot?" " Sprained." "Might be broken." " We must go to the hospital." " We eat first." "Tomorrow we go to Moja." "In this weather!" "Tomorrow will be bright and sunny, my friends." "So, eat now." "Simone." "Up, my pigeon." "See how the sun shines ..." "Up, my pigeon." "Open your eyes." "See how the sun shines ..." " What day is it?" " Saturday." "Get up." " You're crazy!" "What is it?" " Don't you remember?" "Today we go to Moja." "Help me get ready!" " Is this good?" " No, harder." "Even harder." "Will I do?" "Will I do here?" "Very good." "Cheese and wine ... bread and herring ..." "Herring and bread ... butter." "Oh, Father  in his Summer Suit." "Just like the old days." "Like it was." "Handsome Father." "Hurry up you." "Simone, call for a cab." "It's for the Kroll family." "When will it be, then?" "Fine!" "Goodbye." "Hi, Simon." "Hi." "Come." "Come with me to the movies?" "No, I can't." " Why?" " We're going out to the country." "Guess I'll go with Isak instead." " What's that?" " Nothing." "Just a a crystal ball." " I have to go." " Wait a moment." "I'm having a party tomorrow." "An Elvis-fest." "Can you come?" "An Elvis Fest?" "With 50's clothing." "At eight o'clock." "I want you to come." "I'll ask if I can come." "But now, you better go." " Goodbye, Simon." " Hello." " Did she call you Simon?" " No, Simon's a guy in our class." "Do you see... how beautiful it is!" " Do you see how beautiful it is?" " Yes." "You see nothing, you foolish hen!" "Ignorant!" "Olga, you know that?" " What are you grinning about?" " We grin at everything." " Does Father want a coffee?" " No." "Are you laughing?" "No." " Are you crying?" " I don't know." " Why?" " What?" "Why are you crying?" "From sadness, from joy, I guess." "Because I am old and crazy." "What do eyes have to do with all that?" "It's been so long since I came like this." "It's the first time here without your grandmother." "After she died, I never dared to go out to the cottage." "You remember how she'd just blow in my face if I acted up?" "Remember?" "Yes." "No, you don't remember." "What does it matter?" " Are you okay?" "Do you need a pill?" " A pill?" "Do I need a pill?" "I cry cause I want to!" "Cause I want to!" "So you're back again?" "I can still smell her scent." "Simone come." "Here." "I want you to have this." " You were in love with her, eh?" " Yes." "Were you her first love?" "Possibly." "How about you?" "Me?" "Are you in love with someone?" "Possibly." "We go home tomorrow." " I don't know if I will go." " Yes!" "Here they are!" "They were my brother's when he was twelve." "It's not necessary." "Of course you should have them." "Perfect!" "Let me help you with your tie." "You look just swell, baby." "Oops!" "All right!" "Okay!" "Bye!" "See you later!" "You like some Pepsi?" "This is a screaming wild party." "What?" "Check out Kattis!" "Yes, I see." "How's the lip?" "Well!" "Now she's fine, thanks." "And you, then?" "I what?" "You don't need any birds, I see." "What do yo say that for?" " Are you jealous?" " Jealous?" "Of who?" "Come Kattis, dance with me." " Pepsi!" "Broke the juke-box." " Relax, I can fix it!" "You better." "Must you be so cool?" "Can you move?" " What is it?" "I landed on the glass." "I've got splinters." " Does it hurt?" " What do you think?" "Come on, then." "I'll get the first aid kit." "Take off your pants so we can clean the wound." " What's in the bottle?" " Gin." "It's all I could find." "So, lie down." "There's still glass." "I like you." "I like you too." "I can't be with you." " It makes no sense." " What makes no sense?" "It's not your fault." "It's me." "I'm what's wrong." " When we kissed, then?" " It was a mistake." "You are not at all interested in me?" "No, just that." "But to take care of yourself is good, asshole!" "What are you doing?" "He came in with liquor and pulled off his pants!" "Get out of here immediately!" "Did you quarrel?" "Yes, we quarreled." "Think you can beat Simon in a night swim?" "Do you mean me?" "Afraid of drowning?" "You jump in yourself." "You really need to chill out." "Not in the pool!" "Best if you just ignore him." "Shall we swim the lake?" "To the other side and back ..." " It's too cold." "Are you afraid?" " Okay!" "But you don't have a chance" " We'll see." " What's going on?" " They're going down to swim." "Down to swim?" "It's night time!" "You must not give a damn for Kattis!" "You prefer someone more experienced." "Why are they swimming?" "It's Simon." "He's a bit fucked up." " I am rooting for Simon." " He doesn't have a chance." "Have you changed your mind?" "No!" "To the other side and back?" "Okay, we're going." "They're both crazy." "Call this shit off, Simon." "It's too dangerous!" "Simon!" "Help..." "I have cramps!" " Don't leave me!" " Calm down!" "You'll drag me down." " We won't make it!" " We can do it!" "We can!" " What is it?" " I don't know." "Here we are!" "Here they are." "Now we come there." "I can handle myself now." "What happened anyway?" "Straight." "Turn the boat!" "Pull them up from the stern." "Who's talking about quitting?" " We're not finished yet." " Are we?" "You have to give it up." "The others have called the police." "We'll compete some other time." "Here's the towel." "We brought your clothes." "Thanks." "Now lets get back." "No, row us to the shed." "I don't want to go back to those idiots." "Aye, Aye, captain." "A little to the left." "To the right." "Straight ahead." "It'll correct." "A little to the right." "Grab the edge." "Pull hard." "Plan approaches" "Piano ..." "We have arrived." "Sure you want to do this?" "Yes." "Tell Kattis it was a very nice celebration." "Here we go!" "Bye!" " Bye." " Bye." "Should we hang the clothes over the stove?" "Yeah." "You're insane!" "Have you been a girl all this time?" "Of course." "but..." "I'm actually Simone." "Simone?" "Yes." "Simone." "Simone..." "You piss-rat ..." "Baboon-ass ..." "Skunk-fart." "toad - filth." "Simone, you're insane!" "Oh, I know." "I know." " Hi." " Hi." " What time is it?" " Half past eight." "We'll be late for school." "Never mind." "Anna will be presenting her walking sticks." "I like you." "And I you." "They'll want to know where we are." "I'll...." "See you at school later." "I must go home and change." "Like this?" "Don't you care that we were worried?" "Huh?" "You've been out all night!" "You can't behave like that!" "." "It's a fucking way to act is all!" "Does this look good?" "We haven't slept a wink!" "Yngve was out looking on his bicycle!" "I was telephoning your classmates!" "Anything could have happened." "I had Isak with me." " Isak?" " A guy from class." "Can I borrow your lipstick?" "What are you laughing at?" "What's funny?" "Tell us what's funny!" "Why can't you be normal?" "Tell me then!" "Little Mama ..." "Don't worry." " Where are going?" " Off to school!" " Hey, watch out!" " Hello." "Excuse me." " Where are you going?" " To Miss Arlan's class." "Yes, okay," "The praying mantis often protects them from being eaten." "Some look like withered grass, other like broken twigs." "As protection, many stick insects have sting glands they can expel..." " What are sting glands?" " Well, they go..." " a liquid that stinks and it's corrosive..." " Oh, heck, that's disgusting!" "What do you want?" "." "It's me." "It's just me" "Simon!" "Ah, actually it's Simone!" "Simone... a French name." "Is this some kind of joke?" "No, it's true." "I'm not a boy." "I'm a girl." "Now you go home and put on proper clothes, Simon!" "Simone." "Can I continue now?" "NO!" "Help me!" "I'm sorry." "Stop now." "I'm not a guy." "A girl!" "And I was in love with her!" "All right then, it's as you say." "You are a girl and I am a walking stick." "And now is the praying mantis." "Hello." "Simon!" "She thought you were a girl!" "You're huge!" "You think she's not?" "But it can't be." "She IS a She." "A girl." "I'm sorry." "It's okay, Simone." "Is it really you?" "Kilroy!" "He's back!" " But he's filthy!" " He probably needs a bath." "Come, into the wash." " Is that you?" " Yes" "I thought I would sit here..." "for a little while." "If you do not mind." "Feel better, now?" "It almost seems as if the devils are leaving you alone, for a change." "You may find it feels a bit empty..." "You may come to miss the suffering... the things that burdened you." "Isn't that strange?" "Yes." "Then it is best that I go to bed, my crow." "Do you remember?" "You taught me the constellations." "Now I do not remember a single one." "Aren't you going to bed?" "Yeah, I'm coming." "You know, Simone, I think it is almost time." "I have invited some friends to come here tomorrow night." "It's a sort of a farewell party." "Understand?" "It's not true." "You can not die." "I am curious what will happen." "Nutcases like it unsafe." "Only the Normal want to know what to expect." "Sleep now." "Then ..." "What happens next?" "All clear?" "Then we begin." "I love you all!" "Continue ..." " Father, how are you?" " It's good." "Just fine." "Let the party continue." "Simone!" " What are you doing?" " Nothing." " Go with me?" " Okay."
