"See my dad anywhere?" "He's probably late." "As usual." "What do we do now?" "We'll have to wait." "Should I ask him for help?" "Hey you!" "Come help us" "What's up?" "How can we manage all these cases?" "How should I know?" "Don't be clever." "I'm asking a favour." "Nice way of asking you have." "Leave it, we'll find a way." "Your dad will be here shortly." "Your dad with a car?" "But I'm also struggling." "Tell him to help you when he arrives." "Listen then." "Piss off!" "I'm going." "Who are you?" "You want company?" "I'd tell you if I did." "Comb your fringe out your face." "Stop it!" "Embarrassed?" "Do you know that big word, chicken?" "I told you to leave." "I've decided I could do with the company." "You're cocky eh?" "Rather be cocky than be complaining." "You're a bore." "We're trying to talk and you're blocking my light." "You prefer if I sit?" "I'd prefer the other side." "You can block the wind." "Moan eh?" "Cry the Beloved Country (South African novel) (Kraai rhymes with cry)" "My name is Yuri if you're looking for a better word, Rissiepit." "Yuri who?" "Anker." "What kind of name is that?" ".Better than Kraai anyway" "How'd you like some company?" "Is our car big enough for all the luggage?" "Don't know- it is a lot." "Will you help us or not?" "You can see we're trying." "Will you help me get this in?" "Guess I'll have to." "My dad must have forgotten to pick us up." "Don't make excuses." "I'm not making excuses." "I'm just saying." "You have a lot of spunk eh?" "I'm so sorry for all the bother." "No bother, its a pleasure." "Let me help you." "Thanks for having me for the holiday." "It's a pleasure." "Did the train arrive early?" "Not even a hello?" "Hello Professor" "You don't have to call him Professor." "You can call him uncle- he won't mind." "I think you should come inside." "Thanks for your help." "I don't know what I'd have done without you." "Me neither." "You wouldn't think I'd been working 3 months for a Dutch mayor would you?" "He'd climb out his limousine in a stiff manner and just turn his back to you." "That chick from earlier was real eye candy." "Sharp-tongued though." "I know my place in the world but she was just ordering me around." "What will you do now?" "Nothing." "What can I do?" "You can't find work with that attitude." "All you need is a plan of action and there you have it." "Did you even miss me at all?" "We all missed you." "How was your holiday?" "Oh, not bad." "We just sat around on the farm all day and she tried to avoid spoilting it." "You know me." "And how did the people seem to you?" "You mean are they rich?" "Yes, they are rich." "20 tractors, 2 foremen, 2 dining rooms and 8 bedrooms." "That's not what I asked." "It's what you meant." "They have a good family though." "The farm was inheritted." "If you're going to be rude then I'm going." "Stay and help me with this please." "And this guy you dropped off." "I hope you're not giving him the wrong idea." "Please let me make my own decisions." "I don't want you to pull a "Emma Rencher" who married an ordinary railway clerk." "You need to be wary." "Yuri is alright, you don't need to worry." "If he says Yuri is alright, he's alright." "Don't you mind her." "You're forgetting the mechanic she was with last year." "Let's forget the past please." "Pass me the salt please." "If something's good then its bad." "What you two do for pleasure I just don't know." "Grandma, are you smoking on the sly?" "Leave me, I'm not a child!" "Have you found someone for the dance?" "Where could she ever find a man?" "I have found someone?" "Oh?" "Who did you ask?" "Yuri Anker who helped us at the station." "He asked you?" "I'm disappointed." "Thought you could do better." "Don't fight over men!" "I'm not fighting for anyone." "There's nothing wrong with him!" "I'll tell you her problem." "She's jealous." "She thought he would ask her instead of you." "Wanna dance?" "Wait, its still early." "Run!" "If I stop it won't start again." "I can't keep up!" "When I was a freshman I could outrun a Ferrari." "Open the umbrella!" "Yes sir!" "Don't get water on my jacket." "If you'd told me the roof leaked I would have fixed it." "Too late now." "Should have listened to the weather forecast." "You're no use as a freshman." "Sorry sir." "Slave." "When the girl climbs in you better get in the back." "Make sure the water drips on you and not on her." "I haven't finished!" "Don't speak until I tell you to." "These girls aren't your type." "Yes sir." "And I want no comments about my car." ""Forget-Me-Not" "University of Pretoria"" "If I'd know it would rain like this I'd have borrowed someone else's car." "Hold the umbrella." "The car broke down earlier today." "The rain's ruined everything." "It's so wet." "Thank you." "Good thing it wasn't my dad's car that broke down." "My word, its Faantjie, Kraai's brother." "Hello Faantjie." "Slave, are you Prof. Burgher's son?" "Yes sir." "Oh boy!" "You're saying you didn't know?" "Slave- if you start getting wet hold the umbrella closer." "It's not dripping on my jacket much." "Whats a little water?" "Dressed to impressed and you can dance as well." "What do you think I'm doing?" "I'm stiff as a board." "I thought the tango would be more your style." "Where is Snip anyway?" "Why don't you find out?" "I think I will." "Come on, Snip." "I wanted to thank you for the other day." "It's nothing." "I'm sorry I behaved so strangely toward you." "Don't worry- you can't help being who you are." "You weren't so friendly either." "Let's just dance, okay?" "It's Anker." "How are you, old boy?" "Good." "And who's this girl?" "What's your name again?" "Kristina." "Now you know." "What are you doing here anyway." "A girl asked me to come." "Where'd you get those lovely eyes?" "But you have such nice hair." "Like a seat?" "That would be great." "Get it yourself." "Are you disabled?" "You've brought a real nutter along!" "Don't frown." "Use those lovely eyes of yours." "Who do you think you are?" "He's a farmer from Hoffmansdal A rotten farm at that." "You've grown clever since I last saw you eh?" "The university gives you small town types such big heads." "Listen, we were sitting in peace before you came along." "Now, go!" "Come on then- let's go dance." "No, I'm busy." "Thanks for the dance." "What did they talk about in the car?" "I heard you're jealous." "Don't be stupid." "He thinks better than us all." "Then why do you want to know?" "My business." "They didn't make out if that's what you're asking." "He's not really the making-out type." "He's into intellectual things like science and music." "Leave now, I'm busy." "I want you to find out what time he has class tomorrow." "and then?" "Then nothing." "Find out for me." "How he let you out early I will never know." "You know he has a sadistic streak with apparently no redeeming features." "Not sure appealing to rights will help anything." "Can't you see where you're going?" "I am watching where I'm going but why did you swerve right into me?" "My knee hurts as well." "She tried to ram us with her bike." "Look at my heart now." "Don't speak to me like that." "You better escort me home." "I'm off to write an important exam." "He'll fail me if I'm late." "He'll fail you if he finds out about your reckless driving." "Be careful!" "Will you then vouch for me to your dad?" "Are you taking me home or not?" "I think under the circumstances you will have to excuse my absense to the professor." "I was held up on more important duties." "You know Yuri." "Look at your clothes!" "What happened?" "I ran her over in my car." "She hurt her leg." "I see." "Let me help you." "Sit down so I can take a look at your leg." "Take off your shoe." "It doesn't look badly hurt." "If you'll excuse me I must speak to the professor." "Thanks for bringing me home." "Its a pleasure." "What are these pet names you have for eachother?" "Snip and Rissiepit- does that sound like petnames?" "Anything can be a pet name." "I told you not to lead him on." "But he's perfectly proper." "There's nothing wrong with your leg." "There wasn't an accident, was there?" "Tell me what you really think of him." "What are you playing at?" "His hair is too long and you just need to look at his car to work out his class." "Please let's not fight." "It's not even his car and he's very decent." "Why can't you pick someone from our social circle?" "There's Prof. Pottgieter's son and there's Dawid Gous." "They're drips." "Your father and I taught you to speak proper Afrikaans." "You act as if you've been accused of a big affair with some lowlife." "He isn't a lowlife." "I won't stop you seeing him because I know you will do it anyway." "But I am just saying I don't approve of him." "Just tell me why." "We raised you to be accustomed to a certain standard of life." "and I don't think he will fit in with us." "Professor, I missed the test." "You ought to know that's your responsibility." "If you miss a test its your problem." "But I can explain..." "Of course you can but if you'll excuse me I'm in a hurry." "Just a moment..." "I can't accept excuses." "A test is a test." "What do you say?" "I am struggling, hope it passes soon." "The girl with the pretty eyes." "Hows it going?" "Oh its you." "Searching for a book?" "No, I'm playing a piano" "I'm in a hurry." "I must see you again." "Just say where." "I said I'm in a hurry!" "And how can I help you?" "I have news for you." "Something small." "Who would have thought you'd take the trouble to phone me." "That devilish Rissiepit." "Your mother not teach your better manners?" "Is that all you have to say?" "Tell me what's new." "What will you pay me?" "Bar of chocolate?" "It's not good for you, Rissiepit." "How about a cold drink?" "My dad says its not his problem if you weren't there for the test." "But I spoke to him and he says he'll think it over." "That's the drink so how about a film?" "Tomorrow night?" "I am very upset." "Don't leave me to get curious." "Did you forget that a new dean is being picked next month?" "It means nothing to you?" "What does this have to do with Kristina?" "Everyone knows you will get it." "Some want to stop it and nothing will do that like a scandal in our household." "Fine, I said I'll talk to her." "Now let's forget about it." "That's it for today" "Mr. Anker..." "You can write the test Friday afternoon." "Do you have a spare moment?" "I want to talk to you about Kristina." "I don't know if there's something going on between you two..." "Not as far as I know." "Last year Kristina had a relationship with a mechanic" "She only did it to demonstrate her independence." "We forbade her to see him and it ended badly." "Luckily he understood the situation." "You mean you spoke to him about it?" "Yes, I did." "It was in his own interest." "I think she's playing the same game again." "This time she's using you at her convenience." "I hope you'll see to it yourself." "Don't let matters complicate further." "But its nonsensical." "I'd be grateful if you did as I ask." "But there's nothing between us." "I invited her to the cinema tonight and can't let her down." "I'm sorry things have gotten this far." "You must promise not to see her again." "How can I promise such a thing?" "We're old enough to decide for ourselves." "I don't think we need to discuss this further." "Goodbye." "You decided a symphony was better than the cinema?" "You middle classes turn your noses up at it." "Maybe I'll impress your family if I take you to a 'proper' place." "You misunderstand my patents." "They aren't how you imagine." "I'm not misunderstanding." "Your father spoke to me." "I tried to be civil about it but he had made up his mind." "He spoke to you?" "So, what now?" "Please." "I'm misspoke." "It's nothing." "I just didn't know he had spoken to you." "You haven't told me what's going on." "I already told you!" "I don't want to do something which make your homelife difficult." "If staying away will help, then I'll stay away." "Just do me one favour." "Just fetch me one or two more times." "I can't let my father know he's won." "You know, there's some truth to what your father said." "We come from different world." "Yours is upstanding." "You're trying to shock them" "It's not true." "If your mother wasn't against me from the start you wouldn't have given me a second glance." "Is that really your opinion of me?" "Is it not so?" "No." "That's our situation." "No point discussing it further." "If you don't care then we might as well go home." "If you like." "If you really want to." "What do you mean?" "I have your dad's permission tonight." "If its the last time lets enjoy it." "Can't let your mum catch us." "Not got your own cigarrette?" "No." "They stink, makes your hands brown." "I wasn't so dumb at your age." "Wasting your time with books." "Why don't you seek out pleasure?" "Phone up your friend." "No, he has a complex about mum and dad." "They're the ones with complexes." "You listen to me..." "I wasn't born yesterday." "If you like him and he likes you, you better take eachother." "It's not that simple." "Of course it is." "Can't you whistle or something?" "You smoking on the sly again?" "Mum's going to catch you one of these days." "Pass me my cap." "Yuri says hi." "What?" "You're lying." "I wouldn't lie about that." "You see?" "What did I say?" "Run along then." "Go phone Yuri." "Enjoyed yourself?" "Isn't it obvious?" "Just wondering." "You'd be amazed that I believe all this." "But I don't believe its something that just happens." "I knew you'd want to see my future." "I'm not sorry either." "We'll wait and see." "You're the first man who wanted to look into my eyes and see my future." "Hand on my heart, you're 21." "At 21 most girls have big plans." "I'm going to study for 3 more years." "Then you're 24." "That's still not old." "You will have to decide that." "A lot can still happen." "Let's be honest." "I like you." "But..." "That's right, what if in the future you no longer like me?" "Or I decide I don't like you." "Fine with me." "To be honest I was scared you'd already marked me off as your property." "You women like to do that." "You have a wild imagination." "Well, that's the oral exam done...but then there's another issue I'd like to discuss." "I see in your personal file that you have received a scholarship" "You know that I am a trustee of the board?" "Yes, Professor." "I'd be able to help you secure it for next year." "Of course you will have to work hard enough to earn it." "Then there's the other issue." "I take it you two are still seeing eachother." "Can I be frank?" "Kraai and I would have never been interested in eachother if it hadn't been for your opposition." "I'm not discussing her upbringing with you." "Can I just ask you one question please." "Why am I unworthy in your eyes?" "You as a person has no bearing on my opinion." "Now, I understand." "This is a family quarrel that doesn't concern you." "How can you say it doesn't concern me?" "Its my choice if I decide to go ahead and see her." "I'll forget that you said that." "Don't do anything that the scholarship would disapprove of." "I'm sorry that its you making the decision." "I don't plan to clarify things for you." "Excuse me, I have work to do." "Well Rissiepit, we'll need to talk." "Your dad and I have made an agreement." "About the scholarship?" "No, about you." "I must do as he says or no funding for next year." "What will you do now?" "Do you want us to see eachother in secret if there's no other way?" "I don't know." "Who's that?" "I don't know." "Grandma's probably phoned up her boyfriend." "I don't care if your father's the professor, the deacon or rector I want to see you." "I want to talk to you." "There's no point in me losing the scholarship." "But I'll help you if you lose it." "How?" "What can you do?" "I'll work to pay for it." "I'll loan you the money." "You can pay it back." "If you want." "Thanks but its not necessary." "If I don't get the scholarship I'll leave." "I won't have you working to pay for my fees." "Don't be so hard-headed." "If my dad sees I'm serious he'll stop." "I don't want to be the cause of disunity in your family" "Don't be an idiot!" "You're being harsh." "And you're being a coward." "One thing I've learned early in life is when to fight." "You don't fight when you know you're going to lose." "You must decide if you'll fight or not." "You must decide." "I'll fight but not whenever you tell me to." "Then we're finished." "I've never liked cowards." "I won't stop you." "If you decide tomorrow you've made a mistake you know where I am." "I won't crawl after you." "You crawl You seem used to it." "Crawling is second nature to you." "Why didn't you tell us?" "Why should I discuss my business with you?" "You said I must make myself at home." "But I need to know your plans." "It was just a small get-together." "Meet Hermanus Buitendag." "A pleasure." "He's come to stay with me for a month or so." "Is your name Kraai?" "No, its just a nickname we gave her because of her long legs." "Let's go in." "Bring me my handbag." "You could have warned us." "That old man isn't sleeping under my roof tonight." "Phone your boyfriend and ask him to pick us up." "It's over" "Over?" "Whats this all about?" "Because he's a coward." "You're making a mistake." "You will never find another like him." "No matter, I'll speak to him." "If you do don't you ever speak to me again." "Its over between us." "What nonsense." "I will sort this out." "Looks like a dump." "Careful what you eat you'll get the runs." "You can go." "Tell your mother I'm fine and booked this place 2 weeks ago already." "You've figured out everything." "Goodbye my child." "You awake?" "Help me, your mother locked me out." "Get me a cigarette please." "If mother ever finds these..." "Oh, she's an old crab." "So whats up with you and Yuri?" "We're just going out." "I wish you'd find alternative transport." "Yuri can't be the only person with a car." "I don't want to have to stare into his eyes." "Thats one boy who's eyes I'd like to see." "I can't understand what's up with you." "Things were going so well." "And now you've fallen out." "He won't even be at your birthday party tomorrow." "Look what the cat dragged in." "Attention ladies and gentlemen." "I'd like to say something." "I just want to wish my daughter the best on her 21st birthday." "Her coming of age party." "Pour me a glass of the stuff." "Your father's such a tight-wad." "Did you get a look at this guy?" "We'll have to do something." "He's just here to ruin things." "And who is that for?" "Where's Mr. Anker?" "Gone to town maybe, he didn't say." "You're his slave and he didn't even tell you?" "You remember to clean the car?" "I did it day before last." "Did you take a sandwich to his room?" "Yes sir." "The it must be that she's broken his heart." "Mr. Anker didn't mention it but her party was last night." "She hung out with that miserable Piet Stander." "What can we do?" "I don't know." "Kraai won't listen to me." "We'll make a plan with Stander." "We'll make him pay." "Soekie my slave!" "I want to talk to you about Kraai." "And this sudden familiarity?" "I'm not playing games, I'm serious." "You were wrong with Kraai." "You were getting on well but now she's with Stander." "You're not fooling anyone." "I hate to agree with a slave." "You're wasting your time." "It was her decision, not mine." "It's not because she likes Stander its to make you jealous." "If she's sorry, she can phone me." "No, she's never apologised for anything in her life." "It's her choice." "How many times have you tried this stunt with a woman?" "Please keep quiet." "What will we do now?" "We're 15 miles from town on a quiet road." "Everything worked out just the way you planned." "You think I'm insane?" "How am I supposed to get out of here?" "If that was true I could have come up with something better than this." "She went driving with that louse tonight." "I thought you'd like to know." "I don't care." "Something else?" "You should know Kristian and I siphoned all his petrol out." "It's a wicked thing you've done." "You better get my car so we can fetch your sister." "You'll have to come along." "The battery is flat and it needs a push." "You know where they are?" "I have an idea." "What do you want?" "Is it you who took my petrol?" "I'm not stupid." "Well, we don't need your help." "Kraai, can I help you?" "I'll say goodnight." "I'll leave when I want to leave." "Get back in your car." "Wait a moment, Piet." "How'd you know we were here?" "Was it you?" "I'm not childish." "How did you know we were here then?" "Stop it!" "It doesn't pay for you country folk to meddle in city people's affairs." "You'll be sorry." "Tonight you die." "Yuri, what have you done?" "It's what he wanted." "Don't stand there, help me with him!" "He's fine." "He's just "lights out"" "Yuri- you better go." "My dad was right about you." "Listen Rissiepit." "Don't call me that again." "We're over, we'll always be over." "Do you understand?" "Faantjie- take her home at least." "Koos, pass me a cigarette." "What?" "Are you deaf?" "A cigarette." "And get her one as well." "You telling me you've taught her to smoke?" "I was smoking already but didn't like it." "But my reason for smoking is because you won't let me." "What is going on in this house?" "I want to move into the boardinghouse with you not that I even like that flat." "We spoke about it yesterday." "You did what?" "I told him exactly what's going on in this house." "I'd like you to keep your nose out of my business." "For the first time I agree with Kristina." "You're a trouble-maker." "I'm no longer welcome then?" "That's not what I'm saying." "If you swear at your mother then I know what to do." "I'm packing my bag and moving out." "I won't have you speaking to me like that." "Kraai, will you take me away or not?" "Of course." "Please don't be hasty." "It's too late now, I know I'm not welcome." "What you doing tomorrow night?" "It's a farewell do." "All the students are going." "Will he be there?" "Probably, I don't know." "Just remember- you're mine now" "You and Anker are a thing of the past." "Look, I've brought you something." "It's an engagement ring." "You're insane!" "When you're ready you can have it." "No thanks." "Forget it." "Just in time to help us." "We were waiting." "I didn't even see you." "As blind as always." "Climb up here with me." "No thanks, I'm not a monkey." "Let Chrisjan do it." "If you want to help us don't complain." "It's not my company he wants." "He wants you up there." "Who are you to order me around?" "The night is short and there's plenty of work." "I'm only doing it to repair our relationship." "Stand aside then." "We don't need your help." "He doesn't mean it." "Of course I do." "Go if you won't help us." "Go." "What are you waiting for?" "Now you've done it." "Go, I'll tell you later." "Yuri Anker?" "It was." "I told you about him but you wouldn't believe me." "No, leave him!" "Still have that ring?" "Engagement?" "Yes, I told you." "Give it to me." "Now drive!" "You mean it?" "Can't you get your big paws off my feet?" "Move!" "I also want to see." "Oh calm down!" "Come let's go." "And this ring?" "Old people call it an engagement ring." "No need to bite my head off." "Leave her, let's go." "Yes, scram before I fix you!" "You couldn't sort out a fieldmouse" "Like a drink?" "No thanks, I won't be sticking around." "I want to ask you something." "What is it?" "Do you need to be so blunt?" "It was hard for me to see you." "Don't make it harder." "If you're embarrased to be seen with me then we have nothing to discuss." "If you want to communicate with me, write a letter." "Sit down." "Stop being a child." "I don't have much time." "Please don't lend my grandmother your car again." "So you've become a snob." "You mean you don't want her seen in my car." "Don't be childish!" "If I want to drive your grandma then I'll do it!" "Stubborn eh?" "That leads to bad things." "Like what?" "Your bursary." "Now you're a blackmailer as well?" "You and Piet Stander make a good couple." "You're wrong if you think I have any feelings left for you." "The day you fell in love with him was the end." "That is something you can't undo." "Its just as much your fault as mine." "No, it was your decision, not mine." "But did you have to pick Piet Stadler?" "It's my business." "That's for sure." "Well, there's nothing more to discuss." "You said you wouldn't see him." "I told you there was an important reason." "You haven't bought me with that ring." "Stander just dropped Kristina outside." "I should ask him in." "No, speak to him later." "Don't go, we want to talk to you." "Now what?" "Come sit down." "Your mother and I would like a chat." "You've left us in the dark over this engagement." "We'd like to know your intentions." "You know what an engagement is." "You'll marry him over my dead body." "You were out together every night this week." "You never invite him in and you never tell us where you're going" "Are you embarrassed to invite him in?" "Embarrassed?" "Don't make me laugh." "You and he need to sort it out or you can move." "We won't tolerate your bad manners." "Don't be hasty." "Kristina, can I ask you one question." "I just want to know yes or no." "Do you love Stander?" "I just told you." "Just yes or no." "I like him." "I like all kinds of people." "I'm going to my room" "Sit down!" "You can't keep running away from your life." "Can I tell you why you wear that ring?" "To hurt Yuri Anker, isnt it so?" "As little as I like Anker, he can't be blamed for what's between her and Stander" "Would you give me a chance?" "He's not coming back in this house." "I forbid you to see him." "I will carry on seeing him and if you try stop me I'll move out." "I can always work and I will do it." "I thought I said women aren't allowed in the men's bedrooms?" "You're one to talk." "Your food did that." "I told you the day you arrived this isn't an old age home." "It's the cockroaches in the kitchen." "I'll have the health inspectors shut this place down." "You can pack your bags and go!" "I'll get this place closed down!" "Who would listen to your ramblings?" "My son is a professor at the university." "If the police won't deal with it then he will." "If you aren't out in two hours I'm throwing your bags into the street!" "And now, Ma?" "I'm tired from the city." "Make me a cup of tea and bring me bring a box of cookies too" "What made you decide to return?" "I felt bad that I had left you all alone that way- it was selfish." "I decide to come back and stay because I know you all struggle when I'm away." "I don't remember struggling." "You like staying here with us then?" "If I hadn't felt so sorry for you..." "Where is that kid with my tea?" "Kraai keeps looking over here." "Pass me that peel." "What for?" "If she looks here again I'm throwing this at her." "What you looking at?" "Lose something?" "She's giving dirty looks because I wouldn't buy her icecream." "Now I need your help" "Its you who threw it, buddy." "Start running, Fantjie." "Look at his muscles." "Tarzan, flex those muscles!" "Anker- was it you?" "Make an appointment if you want to talk to me." "Sit down we can't see." "Get up then, we can't fight here." "He's too big for his boots." "You and I have an apple to peel (score to settle)." "He peeled an apple." "He's Tarzan and I'm Jane." "Check those muscles!" "Flex them!" "Can't be bothered with this childishness." "I'll see you soon." "Any time, any place, Piet." "Just like the other night." "You'll be sorry." "See what an idiot he is?" "I wish you would stop quarrelling with him." "It's because I speak the truth." "I'm sick of your moaning." "Should I be locked up in a convent?" "I'll speak to whoever I like" "Oh no, you won't" "If he comes near you again." "Then what?" "I'll break his neck." "You forget what happened before?" "I told you before I fell and hit my head against the car." "Can you only make your point using your fists?" "No, but he's asking for it." "I'm warning you!" "If he comes near you again I'll sort him out." "The more I get to know you the more this all seems like a mistake." "There." "Take it." "I wasn't brought up around violence." "And our engagement?" "It's over!" "What do you mean 'over'?" "Nothing is over." "You put the ring on so it stays on." "That's where you're wrong." "If you try and keep me from my father or Yuri Anker then you're making a big mistake." "Take me home!" "So it was Yurki Anker who's been chasing after you?" "You're obsessed with him!" "Take me home!" "Do what you like." "You're not leaving, you're mine!" "You're not leaving as long as you live." "Beat it." "Anker and I need to talk." "Hey I was here first." "Let me talk to the gorilla." "Don't provoke me." "I've come to talk." "Look at this big man!" "Don't worry bro', I'll deal with you later." "I've come to tell you one thing, so there's no misunderstandings later on..." "Stay away from Kraai, understand me?" "Let's be straight." "You're dying to beat me and you're not going to rest until you find an excuse to do it." "Let's get this sorted then, Piet." "For once and for all." "Looks like you might have broken a rib." "I'm sorry things have to drag out further." "I wish we'd sorted it out tonight." "So you still like me a little bit?" "Don start with your dirty talk, I said you're too old for me." "I was thinking how I have a farm in Ligtingburgh." "If we marry we could spend our final days there." "I told you I don't want to live with lustful men." "I'm 50." "If you want to spend your final days do it." "I am still young and never seen a striptease." "50?" "My son is almost 50." "You must mean 70." "I'm leaving on a pleasure cruise anyway." "These people know nothing of pleasure." "And you think I'd take orders from a old croc like you?" "One foot in the grave and you want to drag me with you." "One doesn't talk of graves like that." "Have you checked your will recently?" "You'll be needing it soon." "You're being blasphemous." "I'll tell the Reverend." "Do it and I'll show him every one of your dirty letters." "I remember what you wrote." "You heart- robber, my love-a-dove with sugar hands." "What would he say to that?" "None of his business!" "My business." "He's your priest." "Come, let's go." "Get in" "I'll blow the horn until you get in." "I want to discuss our engagement." "There is no engagement." "There never was." "I've come to apologise." "Maybe I was a tad jealous." "But its Anker." "It drives me mad even thinking about him." "There's nothing further to discuss." "Take me home and leave me alone." "I'll make up for everything, really I will." "I can't leave things like this." "I can't finish with you." "Can't we just try one more time?" "Don't make a fool of yourself." "Why do you do that?" "I love you, Kraai." "I'll do anything for you." "I'd kill for you." "Typical of you to think of murder." "Never felt anything for you." "And I never will." "It's Anker, Yuri Anker" "That's what it is" "I've searched for you, Yuri." "I want to apologise for yesterday." "That's all." "I'll leave." "You've nothing to apologise for." "It wasn't your fault." "He's spent a long time seeking revenge." "But I underestimated your friend" "He's not my friend." "Not any more." "Hows your face?" "Not too bad." "My body hurts the most." "I hear Piet's back was broken." "We took him to hospital." "Sorry we couldn't sort things out last night." "Something wrong?" "No, nothing." "You know you can't lie to me." "If i can help I will." "It's Piet Stadler, I've had a bad premonition." "You've no one to talk to." "Is he threatening you?" "Told your dad?" "You can tell me if it will help." "Come on, remember you're not scared of anyone or anything." "You're Kraai Burgher, the rector's daughter." "Sorry, I didn't want to cry in front of you." "You've kept this all to yourself?" "My dad wouldn't understand." "I like brave girls." "You're so rude as always." "Just old Rissiepit." "And you?" "This is a difficult problem." "You could have devised a more harmless plan if you really wanted to entertain me." "Keep out of my business." "No, not again." "I'll do whatever I like and you won't stop me." "Really?" "We'll see." "I let you slip through my fingers once before." "I won't lose you again." "So I see." "Something we need to sort out." "Next year you're completed your course." "And will you pay for my studies?" "Forget it." "You can do anything." "Your plans have changed regarding your lovelife?" "You know I don't believe in that." "You believe in marriage?" "That's different." "My father taught me about contracts." "So if I get the paperwork sorted out will you come and sign?" "I'll make sure they're in order." "I'll hold you to your word." "Don't forget." "Come and see." "Kraai and Yurki- things are good again." "I can't understand how..." "For once be a mother and enjoy her happiness!" "She's laughing again." "This Anker dude is.." "Yes, yes, yes..." "Hey, what's happening?" "Big things, big things." "You can say everything is 'fixed up"" "You and Kraai?" "I'm glad, I was getting sick of the look on your face." "Ride along." "No thanks, I'm walking today." "Where's Kraai?" "How should i know?" "Give her a message from me." "Listen I'm not delivering messages!" "Tell her yourself!" "Tell her to stay away from Anker or he will be in a lot of pain." "You've tried to hurt him twice before but each time was a failure." "He will fold you up and put you away." "You stay away from him." "Third time and he will make a mistake." "Third time he won't want to stand up." "Tell that to him and your sister." "What do you think Snip?" "Yuck!" "Disgusting!" "Now take me to the cinema." "No, sister." "It's your turn." "When are we going to Natal?" "Whenever you want." "Don't go out of a sense of duty." " I could be working there next year." "You're working for nobody's son." "I'll sort myself out." "I'm the one wearing glasses!" "Why are you spinning in circles?" "I didn't speak to Stander." "He's a man of extremes" "And if he keeps on bothering you and Yuri then we'll have to do something." "Me and Yuri, Dad?" "Yuri spoke at length in my office this morning." "I must admit that you were right." "You have my blessing." "You really mean it?" "I mean I'm not going to interfere any more." "thanks dad" "Oh, there you are." "Do you speak to Kristina?" "I just did." "That's fine then." "I said we won't interfere with Yuri and you agree." "I'm telling you if you don't then I will." "Nothing you say will change things between Yuri and I." "Thank you, Don." "Yes." "But if you can have the document ready for tomorrow then Kristina can sign it." "Thanks a lot." "Goodbye." "Tomorrow we should have a restraining order against Stander." "If you and Yuri go to Hoffmandaal to Uncle Tom and sign your names." "Thanks a lot" "Your father lets you take this on the road?" "He's very permissive." "And your mother?" "You seem scared." "Scared of your parents don't be silly." "Maybe they won't like you." "It was you who was too scared to say we're an item." "I warned them as well." "I told them you're a parent-catcher." "Looks like the car behind if following us." "I care more about cars than women." "We're in trouble." "He's drunk." "Get off the road." "Please." "Here he comes again." "Hold this jacket over your face." "Heavens, Snip." "The accident could have been avoided if you'd listened to us." "We warned you how many times?" "Please Elise." "Hows Yuri?" "Don't worry about that, my child." "Tell me the truth." "I have a right to know." "He's badly hurt." "They're busy operating." "Will he live?" "I don't know." "Yuri's parents are outside." "Shall I invite them in?" "Yuri told us so much about you." "I'm sorry that we're meeting this way." "We're sorry you were hurt." "Don't apologise for him." "It wasn't his fault." "I always said they shouldn't borrow the car but they wouldn't listen." "They must have driven at an immense speed." "The ambulence driver said it was a straight road." "But I didn't tell you about Stadler." "This is not the time to argue." "But I maintain that.." "Elize!" "We'll come check on you later." "If you hear something will you tell me?" "That was unnecessary." "Those people don't appreciate you insinuations." "I wasn't aware of any insinuations." "Listen, I'd had it up to here with you." "You're just a snob- that's what you are!" "I've had a very busy day today." "I never thought the day would come when I'd have to say no to you." "You make me sick!" "Really?" "Yes, really." "After all these years I feel I don't know you." "Maybe its your ambition to blind me so that I am too stupid to see" "This whole outburst because I said its a straight road." "It's not what you said." "You tried to hurt Kraai." "Did you feel nothing for your daughter?" "You think you're the only one who cares for the children." "I want them to marry well and be successful" "I've just realised how little we have in common." "How I lived with you 25 years I'll never know." "What are you trying to say?" "I'm saying I don't know how muh longer this marriage will last." "And i don't have the means to carry it forward." "Think I have nothing better to do?" "Pass it over here." "No, I'll get it myself." "What does a man know about clothes?" "May I ask where you are going to?" "Somewhere where's there's some pleasure left." "I don't know what's come over you." "You've lived the last week as if its your final week." "You saying I have one foot in the grave?" "Of course not." "This just isn't you." "Where is Kraai?" "Back at the hospital." "Spends all her time by Yuri's side." "If something happens to him then I don't know." "Poor child and all because of Stadler." "Don't you think this is an inconvenient time to leave?" "I thought you lot couldn't wait for me to go." "I'm thinking of Kraai." "If something happens to Yuri she'll need a lot of support." "And you're closest to her in our house." "Why are you acting as if Yuri won't recover?" "But the doctor says its serious." "And its best to prepare for the worst." "If Elize was a better mother things would have been different." "She wouldn't need you to sit and beg me for help." "Don't walk so softly." "You'll scare me to death." "Why are you so pale?" "Hows Yuri?" "He's the same." "I've just come to change, I'm leaving again." "Don't you think you should rest a while?" "No." "I'm going to the hospital." "Leave her." "Come sit down first." "I'm leaving." "But if you need me I can wait a few more days." "Is that what you want?" "No, go." "There's nothing you can do." "You never know, I can perhaps help." "Think about it." "Maybe rest a bit first." "I must be with Yuri in case he comes to." "It won't be long." "What won't be long?" "Yuri is busy dying." "Oh no, my child." "It's not that bad, you'll see." "He'll recover." "He won't recover." "You don't know what the divine plan is." "Its because you're so tired that you're having negative thoughts." "Listen to your father and rest a while." "It's been three days." "The longer he lies here the better the chances." "Wish there was something I could do." "I didn't think you'd care." "Ordinary life was difficult for us." "So he'll pull through this." "I won't cry again." "Did you feel nothing for him?" "There won't be anyone after Yuri." "I've sat here and looked at his face for hours." "I've had plenty of time to think." "About my life, my family, Yuri and I." "Yuri and I were never sentimental." "From that day at the station we knew there was something between us" "Its because we felt so much for eachother that we fought constantly." "Not fight but.. you know." "I think they're operating tomorrow." "How can I help?" "Anything." "I am so terribly sorry." "It feels helpless to see your children die." "Just hold me tight." "Don't cry." "You must be strong- you were always the strongest of all." "I feel terribly alone." "I didn't know a person could feel like this" "It will pass." "Maybe one day you will think of today and smile." "You'll see Yuri like when you were Snip and Rissiepit." "I'll never forget how good he was to me." "The night of the accident he turned to put his jacket over my head." "If it wasn't for that..." "We behaved badly from the start." "Where's Mum?" "I don't know." "She didn't visit Yuri once." "Don't be harsh on her." "I hoped and wished he could be here." "Thank you." "And I don't want to sit next to any Arabs." "I don't want to get bombed." "Nothing to fear- its safe." "I'm not scared of anything." "I'll leave your ticket here." "When you're ready come to England and see me." "And get some colour in those cheeks." "There's Krisjan, I'll see you later, okay?" "Don't be so sad." "Stander" " I heard they got him." "Thanks" "Kraai, the hospital says you must come at once." "What is it?" "They didn't say but you must come at once." "Snip." "subtitles by shaunx [CG]"
