"There, it's done." "Just crawl inside." " Nobody can come in." " You're a loner, Dag." "I'll make some pancakes." "Come out when you're hungry." "There you have it, Dag; you had a good childhood." "We were happy." "Well, not all the time, but most of the time." "It certainly was the best time of my life." "But then everything became empty." "I was a coward." "I was unable to give, and too afraid to receive." "I sort of had   one foot out the door." "For 50 years." "Don't make the same mistake, Dag." "Don't miss out on everything, just because you're scared." "All you need is right in front of you." "This is your life, Dag, and you die a little every minute." "But that's how life is:" "The only thing you remember are the highlights." "What's the worst that can happen of you try?" "You die a little every minute." "I'm sorry." " I'm sorry." " Where's the nun?" "Benedikt!" " Dag, don't do that, I'm leaking!" " You're leaking?" "What's happened?" "She's stark, raving nuts, Dag." "The things she made me do..." "Her in a nun's outfit and me naked." " Her armed with..." " What are you talking about?" "Some things should not be done with a cross, Dag." " A cross?" " It started off quite gently." "I did a handstand, which is quite fun in a tantric sort of way." "And then I let her tie my legs to your hat rack." "She's from a two thousand year old tradition of abuse and sexual shame." "She's very creative." "Be gentle, please." "You're joking." "It tickles!" "Not a flag!" " And then it was her final accessory." " The cross?" "Where is she now?" "Out buying "worldly" clothes, to fit her new lifestyle." "Whatever that might be." "Well, you just lie here then, and get well." " Brother!" " Sister." "I've been shopping." "Just a bottle of Cava, and a tiny bottle of whiskey." " They're so easy to grab right by the till." " Celebrating something, are we?" " Yes, I actually have a date." " A date?" "Yes." "You told me I have to start living, and I am." "I actually came to give you this." "Mum's jewellery." "I thought you might want them." "Could come in handy now with your date and all." "Do you remember this one?" "Dad gave it to mum." "It made her so happy, and dad said:" ""This will buy me some goodwill."" "This is all that's left." "Of all the times mum was happy   and dad hat to apologise for something." " It's just stuff..." " They were memories to mum." "Want to come up for a cup of coffee?" " Damn, you're home early!" " Just as well, I think!" " Hi." "I'm Marianne, Theo's mum." " Hi." "Beatrice." "Hi, Dag!" "Thanks for the tip." "And thanks for giving me her number." "Very cool of you." " What are you up to?" " Me?" "Is your phone book full of numbers of teenage girls you can distribute?" " No, she was in therapy, and..." " Therapy?" " How old are you?" " Sixteen, right?" "Not yet!" "You knew that, Dag." "Is that the time?" "I have to get going." " Oi!" "Gary Glitter!" " See ya, uncle Dag." "Good afternoon." "Can I help you?" " I need to hang something." " What did you have in mind?" "It need to hold the weight of a woman." "So you've become a cab driver?" "We divorced after seeing you." "I need to be on the move." "Meeting you was quite an eye opener." "Coffee, the water of life." "Except it should contain a bit less water..." "That would make a good slogan!" ""The water of life, without water."" "Speaking of advertising:" "How can they make prostitution illegal?" "What's worse?" "Take a young person, full of creativity." "Could be anything they want;   philosopher, author..." "Go ahead, go ahead." "Could be a writer, anything... "No, I'm selling my mind to advertising."" "We're all whores." "We just sell different parts of our body." "A miner is selling parts of his lungs." "Is one body apart worse than another?" "I'm not talking about trafficking or modern slavery,   but about those who make it a business; professional prostitutes." ""The happy hookers." Happy hookers and coffee are my favourite things." "So you've become addicted to coffee and prostitutes, then?" "Meeting you opened my eyes." "This ride is on me, spend it on happy hookers and coffee." "Could you come in here for a sec?" "You know that I love you, right, and that I want you to be happy?" "Jesus, how many times do I have to tell?" "I haven't fucked her." " I just want you to be careful." " And that goes for you too?" "That outfit doesn't scream "safe sex"." "Don't try to make this about me." "I'm just going out for dinner." " Could you help me with this one?" " Is he handsome?" "I don't know yet." "He looks cute online." "Online?" "Mum!" "He's harmless." "He likes hiking and stuff." "It's good." "Your dad would have got lost in a hedge." "This guy like the outdoors." "We're meeting in the forest." "Is that why you're finishing a bottle of wine?" "I should worry about you, and not the other way around." "Before you know it, you'll have little miss west side knocked up." " And I know that won't make you happy." " All right." "Here, be careful." " I've got more." " Theo!" "Have fun." "Hi." "Eva's coming for dinner, so please try looking less like a pile of crap." " I am a pile of crap." " Come on." "Get a grip." "You've survived a winter's night before." "This is no winter's night, this is Stalingrad!" "I'm besieged by the images in my mind, and it's horribly cold and dark in there." " Maybe Kung Fu would do you good?" "Definitely." "Why are you so cheerful?" " It's making my scared." " Does it?" "I'll get Kung Fu." "I'll be right back." "Put your hand out." "You can have two, but then you have to leave right away." "Deal?" " And?" "Goodbye." " But what about the panda?" " I just gave you two." " I just gave you two." " When?" "No." " Snap out of it." " You promised me two." "Here's one more." "If you really want to kill yourself." "There!" " Can I just lay here in the corner?" " Bye." "Bye!" " Are you having a play?" " I'm cooking." "Using the right tools is half the job." "And you, more flooding at the Bates Motel?" " Smells good." " It's almost done." "We can have a glass of wine while we're waiting." "Are you going somewhere?" "I'm going home." "My mum's house." "I haven't been back since she died, so I'm curious to see it it's possible to live there." " I though you'd sold it?" " It's been rented, " " It's been rented, but I called this morning and told them to move." "This morning?" "You know we give 3 month's notice in this country?" "You can't just call up and evict tenants the same day." "I knew it!" "You may be considered normal the day you stop hanging upside down - from a hat rack with a flag up your ass." "Now, close that flap!" " Are you going to get that?" " No, I'm not." "There's no one I'd like to talk to that's not already here." "Shit!" " Sister." " Hi, Dag." "I have no idea where I am right now." "The dinner turned out to be orienteering." "I'm a bit drunk, I've got a map and compass in the middle of nowhere." "And my date ran off." "This is not a good time..." " Dag!" " Look, I'll send the cavalry." "Benedikt, can you take care of this?" "I'll leave the door open for you." "This is Benedikt." "Hi!" "Was it Marianne?" "What's up?" "Nothing to worry about." "She's lost in the woods, and he's the best man for the job." "There's not a logger road out there he hasn't parked his truck in." "I'll be there." "There." "What if you like it out there?" "It's a bit far away." "Far away from what?" "I don't know..." "It's been really nice to have somewhere to relax." "Completely." "This may sound strange, but I've never been   closer to the person I'd like to be, as when I'm with you." "And I've never tried to deceive you." "But there's something I have to tell you." "And I should have said it before." "I've tried, but I..." "It didn't seem that important early on." "And then I tried to ignore it." "And then I got worried about how you'd feel about it." "So in order to make myself say it..." "I have..." "It's been..." "I am..." "I'm pregnant." "Dinner?" " Hi." " Hi!" "You must be world champion in phone tracking." "Thank you." "I brought a blanket in case you were cold." " Thank god." " And this one." "Don't ever stop drinking during a bad date." "I swear by it." "I have a really bad radar when it comes to men." "I'm glad you came." "Come on." "Want me to carry anything?" "No, I'm good." " Are you cold?" " A little bit." "You were hungry." "Yes, well, I'm eating for two." "Listen, if there's anything you want to know, just ask." "No." "This is quite a gravy." "It's made with love, i.e. lard." "And I figured that the frying oil could serve as broth." "And it did." ""The Cask of Amontillado." Have you read it?" "Edgar Allen Poe." "It's about a guy who hides a person inside his walls." "Come here." " Check this out." " Look at that, a hook." "And another one." "Innovative decor, Dag." "Is there anyone inside the walls?" "No." "Aesthetics?" "Utilitarian?" "Sexual?" "It's for you." "That doesn't make it less creepy." "You told me your back hurts from sleeping on the couch." "Now there will be no more of that." "A hammock?" "I think it's just like the one you had in your pictures from Goa." "Do you want to try it out?" "Was it good?" "What's the matter?" "I'm having another man's baby,   and then you give me this." "Yes..." "I didn't know that when I got it." "It doesn't really matter." "You're you, and that's a part of you." "I just want you to be OK, you know." "Maybe I didn't like that you were moving so far away." "I have..." "I've got a movie ready,   if you..." "While the food is digesting." " Do you fancy it?" " Sure." "You can lie here with me, if you like." "There's plenty of room." "What was that?" "That was..." "The world." "I locked the door." "Dag..." "This is a hammock, not a bunk bed." "So isn't this a bit weird?" "One step at a time, Eva." "One step at a time."
