"EDDA FILM presents" "CAR 79." "Taxi." "One moment." "Car 79!" "Like that." " Like what?" "These are difficult exercises." " What the rush?" "I cant miss my fare." "It your turn." " Yes, Im coming." "You just saved the queen." " Damn the queen." "I surrender." "Two wins, one draw." "Make a note of the positions." " Ill never remember." " Ill remember." "For both of us?" " For both of us." "Ragnar." " Yes, Im coming, what is this!" "Gudmundur!" " Yes." "How is Ragnar doing?" " Oh, he improving, he improving." "There is a misunderstanding." " Why bring that up?" "He wont go to California, at least not this time." "California, who talking of that." " Well ask him." "Never seen anyone so drunk." " Don't give a damn." "We'll have to pay for him." " How much?" "Where?" " To the airbase." " 420." " That some price." "I pay 250, you can pay 120." " I only have 100." " That fine." "If he wakes up, then try to get him to pay." "I'll do what I can." "Frankly, I doubt he'll wake up." "While I remember, if he wakes up and pays, its Ragnar Sigurdsson, car 79." "Just ask for 79 at reception." "What time is it?" " Just past midnight." "Oh God." "Would never get dark." "Oh please." "The Night." "Something wrong?" " There was smoke coming out, what can it be?" "What is this?" " This?" "It's a fan belt." "It turns the blade that pumps the air through the cooler, to keep the motor cool." "Can you fix it?" " No." "So I can't drive the car into town?" " I seriously doubt that." "What would happen?" " It would overheat and cause the engine to break down." "Break down how?" "It will cost a few thousand to repair it." "I'll see if I have a belt that fits." "No, it's probably not long enough." " What do we do now?" "Nothing, unless, I have the honour of driving you to town, Mrs..." "Or, I can tow you." "You weren't the driver that broke down." "We drivers tend to do that, driver." "Let's see if this belt will fit." "Is it a lot of hassle?" "One of the most straightforward things that could happen." "You still break down." " Even a simple flat tire can cause you to break down." "Im clueless in these matters." "All breakdowns are equally significant." "Depends on the circumstances." "Driving alone in the middle of nowhere." "My lord, I'm not alone in the middle of nowhere." "Not sure if this will do." " Worst that can happen is that it breaks down." "Yes it's that simple." "Just in case I'll drive after you." " That'll be good." "Come in." "Oh, it's you." "What time is it?" "It's almost noon and you're still sleeping." "I don't know when I'm supposed to clean." "It's always the same with you drivers, one never ever knows if you are in." "All I know; it's the last time I rent out to a driver." "I see, selling on the black market." "Ah huh, Cognac!" "I don't want to see this in here." "Don't want the police sniffing around." "Ive always kept my home in order." "You drivers..." " Alright, alright." "Get out." "I have to clean the room." " Get out of here!" " But..." "A letter from your mother." "Did you have any big fares last night?" "To the US naval-air base." " Oh, so you made good money yesterday." "To end the day with such a fare." " Yes, not a bad day." "On the way home I passed a lady." "Her Cadillac had broken down." "The fan belt had snapped and it was overheating." " What did you do?" "I just lent her a belt I had in the car." "Helped her to put it in," "So she could get home, didn't take long." "Almost drove off the road." "You'll never see that belt." " I think she can be trusted." "I doubt she will loose any sleep over a simple fan belt, if she was driving a new Cadillac from the air base." " I dont care." "I don't care." "It's just a fan belt." " You were asked to call this number." "Hello." "I was asked to phone this number, 79, yes that's me." "A belt?" "Yes." "You can label it 79 and bring it to the station, that would be fine." "Your place?" "When?" "Tonight?" "Ill be there at 9 Alright." "It's open." "Good evening." " You're late." "I had a customer." " You were supposed to be here at 9." "I apologize." "I thought you wouldn't come at all." "But, here I am." "I'm here to pick up the fan belt." "Have a seat." "How is it going?" " Not too bad." "Isn't there much work?" " Quite a bit on weekends." "Naturally, driving riff raff." " Doesn't matter as long as they pay." "No thanks, I'm driving." "Is taxidriving not terrible?" "It depends." " Depending on how you look at it." "Yes, like everything." " There's good and bad." "Yes, and everything in-between." "You must make a lot of friends, am I correct?" "People are generally friendly." "There is no one to introduce us, I know you're number 79..." "Ragnar Sigurdsson." " Gudridur Faxen." "Gudridur is a good Icelandic name." " Everyone calls me Gogo." "May I offer you a drink?" "Do you really need to take drive more tonight?" "Maybe there'll be a beautiful driver on the US naval-air base road in need of help." "Just a drop." "I was truly lucky to meet you." " You're welcome." "My car is a bit of a wreck since my husband got ill." "I dont look after it." "Is it serious with your husband?" " Not really." "Is he in hospital?" "You're very curious." "I apologize." "This is my husband." "Olafur Faxen." "He is in a mental institute in Denmark." " That bad huh?" " Yes." "They think he can be cured?" " Yes." "That's an ugly scar." " A horse hit him." "Is it because of the scar that he is ill?" " Yes." "They have to operate on him." "Remove some cartilage that growing from the bone." "Want more Whiskey?" " No, thanks." "They are going to operate on him this summer." "Are you worried?" " Tsk... tsk.." "So many questions," "I'm sorry, it wasn't out of curiosity." "I am not too concerned." "That's good." "Anxiety eats people up." "Like being alone." " Yes, that too." "I'm becoming a bad person because of this total solitude." "I have no children." "And my friends..." "I can imagine it's not too nice." " I doubt you understand it." "Perhaps not completely." " No, not completely." "Morality is not always straight forward." "What do you mean?" "Nothing, just that things are not straightforward." "Are you married?" " No." "Perhaps something against women." " No, listen here!" "I thought men enjoyed talking about women." " Well." "They enjoy telling a story." " Not, if she means anything to them." "You mean if they are romantic and helpless enough." " That's not it." "What then?" "Nothing if a man has a loose tongue." "Yes, he wants to pretend he is a bit of a man." " Exactly." "I expect theyre indiscreet when it comes to women." " Yes, very." "Women on the other hand talk a lot about their children." "That's different." "Nothing is complete unless there is a child." " Stop now!" "I wasn't going to say anything else." " That's good." "I was just clarifying." "No need to, I know that women don't feel complete unless they have children." "Come!" "Undress me!" "Do you find me beautiful?" " I find you very beautiful." "That's not true." "Why are you saying that?" "I'm not beautiful at all." "There, there." "Try and fall asleep." "Come." "Good night." " Don't leave!" "Why not?" " I don't want you to leave." "Sit next to me." "Lie down!" "Lie down, for just a while." "Good day." " Good day." "How was it then?" "Alright." "What was there to drink?" " Whiskey, not bad at all." "But you are hungover." " No, I hardly drank anything." "Your eyes are all red." "Was the woman good?" "Not the way you mean." "Ragnar, there is a call for you." "Hello." "Yes, hello." "Yes, the belt, we forgot it." "It's so nice that you're here again." " Thank you." "See what I have?" "Im not forgetting this time." "Good I lent it to such a reliable..." "I'm putting it here, that should remind us when you leave." "Have a seat." " Thank you." "I'll bring us some fresh coffee." " No, don't go to any trouble." "It's no trouble." " At least let me to give you a hand." "No need, I have everything ready." " I can bring in the tray." "I hope you like pancakes, I made some." " Pancakes are my favourite." "Don't expect too much, it's been a while since I made some." "I don't usually make them for myself, so I may be out of practice." "I just thought it would be nice to make some pancakes for you." "Hello." "No.." "No, that impossible." "No." "No." "See you later." "It's good to see you again." "Perhaps I shouldn't have come." "And thank you for last night." "Do you feel better?" "One wants to be proud, but cannot," "I wish I were proud like you." "Not ruining things for others." "Nor hurt anyone along the way." "We try our best not to cause pain, but fail." "No, don't leave." "This has to stop." " Don't talk like that." "Maybe there no use talking about it." " Nor thinking about it." "No one can determine things." " Lets just be together now." "And if it ends, then it won't be now any longer." "Then it will be harder to say goodbye." " No." " Let be sensible." " Yes, as life is so short." "I meant in a different way." "Then let's not be sensible, but stupid and foolish anything but alone." "I'm glad I found you." " It's good that you came back." "When will I see you again?" "Tonight?" "That's not possible, it's Saturday." " So?" "Mother is always with me on weekends." " I understand." "Then Monday." " Till Monday." "Ragnar!" " Oh, Hello." "Didnt see you yesterday." " Spent the day driving one man." "He told me about this excellent boat," "When I showed interest, he wanted to sell it." "It's a pretty good deal." "A bargain." "Three years old in an excellent state." " Maybe it's not such a crazy idea?" "It's a very good idea." "Perhaps we can both benefit from this." "An excellent way to spend weekends." "What do you say?" "I said I would have a look tonight." "Tonight?" " Yes." "I have a fare tonight." " But, after that." "I'm not sure, maybe tomorrow." " Alright, we can talk about it later." "Yes, at the station." "Where should we go?" " Anywhere, just so we are alone." "Are you tired?" " No, just the usual for Mondays." "Are they difficult?" "No, but mother is always with me at weekends and keeps me awake." "Does she have a lot to say?" " Yes, she talks constantly." "Do you mind leaving, so we could just talk?" "Gudridur Faxen." "Gudmundur Jonsson." "Beautiful day." "Driver." "Come." "Alright." "Can't we go somewhere?" " Where?" "Anywhere as long as there are no people." " Are you shy?" " Fool." "Where should we go?" " What about going to Thingvellir?" "On a weekday?" " Yes, it's not too crowded there." "We could row on the water." "Is Ragnar not home?" " No, he is on vacation." " Vacation?" "Yes, and locked the door, so I wouldn't be able to clean." "Always the same thing with you drivers." "One can never trust you." "Always drifting, but the worst thing is.." "this damn smuggling and selling alcohol." "This is the last time I will rent to a driver that much I can say." "Should we take a walk and cross this beautiful bridge?" " Let do that." "It could be more beautiful." " I am mesmerized by bridges." "I understand." "People have their obsessions." "Me for example, I cant go without breakfast." "Where are my sunglasses?" "Here they are." " Thanks." "Too much glare?" "Too many people." " I understand." "Kiss me before I put lipstick on." "First take off your sunglasses." "Like that." "Does the Arctic trout get in here?" " No, just money." "Doesn't that mean happiness?" " Only if you believe it." "Is there salmon in the Thingvallar lake?" "No, no." "Just freshwater trout." "Ive done some salmon fishing." " Really, who with?" " My husband." "Let's go inside." " Right now?" "Yes, it's getting crowded." "I hate people." "Fool." "Yet you love me." "You rowed like an angel." " Rowed like an angel, it is." "Alright you row like an old sailor." " That's better." "This countryside." "It feels like heaven." "Do you remember what a beautiful night it was?" "Everything was very beautiful." "Just this absolute silence and the lava." "And the rippling water." "Let's not be sad." " Hell no." "What's the point?" "It was only for a couple of days." " You wanted to leave." "I couldnt stand all the crowds." "Yes, I understand." "No, you don't understand." "Oh well, then I don't understand." " Don't be angry." "Who's angry." "It was such an amazing trip." "What would you have done otherwise?" "Gone somewhere with Gudmundur?" "Well if I had been able to convince him to." "Does he know anything?" " About what?" " Us." "We're good friends." "Oh Lord." "Friends." "Friends." "Is that what we are?" "Let's talk about something else." "Does he know everything." "Gudmundur is a good man." "You don't know him." "Let's talk about something else." "Is it me tonight?" "Ragnar." "Message for you." " Thank you." "Who's turn is it." " White." "Ive been wondering about the boat, do you know the condition of the engine?" "It can reach 7 to 8 miles." "The boat was sold yesterday." "Ragnar!" "Phone." "Tell them, I'm not here." " I said that you were." "I could not care less." " You can't make a fool out of me." "Hello." "I was working." "Message?" "The place is busy and was going to call after 9." "Really?" "Is something wrong?" "Hello." "What's wrong?" "Is nine too late?" "Alright then." "What's happened?" "He is dead." "Really?" "When did that happen?" "You don't have to be sour, he's never coming back." "Im not sour." "It like you expect me to apologize to him." "We should both apologize." "He is dead." "That's why it will never be possible." "Did he die because of the operation?" " No, they had not yet operated on him." "Perhaps that was for the best." " You have no idea about that." "Can't we talk sensibly about this?" " No, not you." "I think you are relieved." "I am very sorry." " You don't care." "Don't blame yourself, it not going to change anything and not his life." "And if you feel you have done something that you regret, then it also too late." "It as beautiful to morn his death, as it's futile to act a role after his death." "Feel any better?" "Ravish me on this fur he gave me, because he loved me." "Take me on it because I'm an animal." "Because I am a bitch and scum." "You're being melodramatic." "No." "Not even scum." "You are a good person." " Do you love me?" "Very much so." " Darling, say darling." "Fool." " I wish I was calm like you." "You are a good person." "I am not calm." "Yes you are a good shoulder to cry on." "My shoulders are here for you when you need me." "Always, darling." "Say that I will always be your darling." "Well, shouldn't we get going?" "What are we doing here?" "Nobody comes here to hunt barnacle geese?" "We will find them down to the valley." " I don't care." "I don't want to hunt birds today." "Mum can you gut the birds." "I'm taking them to town." "What are you doing with?" "You won't eat them." "They are for a female friend." " So you have a female friend now?" "Can't I have a female friend?" " Well, perhaps you should get married soon." "That could come in handy." "Is she a good girl?" "Hello." "Is that you?" "No Ragnar, it's Saturday." "No, nothing has changed." "I understand." "I just wanted to ask you to marry me." "Gogo!" "Ragnar, see you on Monday." "Alright, see you on Monday." "Honey?" "No more Whiskey?" "Wed better get some more." "Let celebrate." "I'll call Bjšssi." "Hello Ragnar." " How is it going?" " Fine." " Fill it up." "I am looking for some Scotch." " No problem." "Who is so particular." "Who is Bill?" " An American." "Know him well?" " Completely reliable." " The others?" "I guarantee both of them, if you have a bottle." "Yes, but I have to go home to fetch it." " Go ahead and fix it." "Who is his lover?" " A widow or divorced or something." "He sees her at Weekends." " The address?" " The Faxen house." "You know where that is?" " Did you say the Faxen house?" "Yes, I know where it is." " Bill will come down as soon as you beep." "Bill is a damn good man, he has never let me down." "These Americans are up and down." "Bill is so good and..." " Hello!" " Whiskey?" " Where's Bjšssi?" "He had no whiskey." " What kind is it?" " Vat 69" "Fine!" "How much?" "4.20" "4.50." "How come?" " The trip." " Yeah, all right." "Car 54!" "79 to the phone." "Ragnar, phone!" "Car 54!" "Ragnar." " Yes." "Yes, I saw the car." " What car?" "Your car, outside my house." "It must have been a different car." " I thought it was your car." "Can't have been." " Ragnar." "Yes." " You're a good man and I'm no good, I never told you that I was any good." "Ragnar." " Yes." "Soon well be together." "Yes." " We'll never be apart again." "No." "Are you sure that it wasn't you?" " I'm sure." "Gogo honey, what keeping you?" "Come and have a drink." "Bill.." "Yeah?" " Bill.." "I.." "What a matter." "Oh Bill." "Ragnar." "I have been wanting to talk about Gudridur Faxen for some time." "I think you should leave her be." "What's it to you?" "Nothing, If you enjoy sharing her with the American, then that's your business." "Ragnar." "She is nothing but a whore." "They told me at the station that you were at home." " Really?" "Where is Ragnar?" " He is gone." "I have to see him." "That's not my concern." " Do you not happen to be his friend?" "That is none of your concern." "Can I come in?" "Can you not help me find him?" "No." " I can pay for the car." "Some things you can't buy." "It's not working, I am not offended." "And I have to find Ragnar." "I revealed him you had Americans over the weekend." "You have to be careful, young men like him take things seriously." "Do you know what it means to be alone?" "Are you wanting petrol?" "Fill the tank." " Alright, I will do." "I am going home." "Is it far?" " Yes." "Oh well." "Are you from around here?" " No, from the West fjords." "Don't you ever want to go home?" "You can stay here tonight." "No one feels tired, when they are heading home." "The weather has been good for catching herring." "Harvest is almost over." "The Nordic council meeting will be held in Reykjavik next year." "There was an accident last night, Ragnar Sigurdsson from Reykjavik, drove off the main road and died instantly." "That it for the news, the programme tonight is..."
