"Is something wrong?" " Is Martin on his way?" "Stop ringing the bell as soon as your mother leaves." "Its so quiet here." "Hi, Martin." "Hi, Mette." "First you get the sleeping medicine, Stephanie." "Then Ill put on the mask." "Just breathe calmly, alright?" "Think of something pleasant." "Well take good care of you while you're asleep." "Here's the mask." "There we go."

" What happened?" "Oh, dear." "Lets wash it and put on a band-aid." "Where did it happen?" "Out in the garden?" "Stephanie didn't mean it." "She's just scared shitless shell die before her parents get here." "Why doesn't she take the morphine?" " She wont take the pills." "She has enough to kill an elephant, but she thinks they'll tempt her to die." "What does that have to do with me?" "Does it go with your clothes?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing."

"Let me call you back, Preben." "Fine." "Bye." "We've been training for seven years." "This is your big chance." "This is it." "You wont have this opportunity again."

" Let her sleep." "Don't wake her." " I wont." "The procedure starts with a pill here in the clinic." "That starts the abortion." "There's no going back." "Its important to have an adult nearby." "Do you have someone?" "Sweetie?" "Tell me what's wrong." " Sara!" "Sara!" " She's asleep." "Sara!" "Sara!" "Come downstairs." " I want to talk to you." " Take care." "Goodbye." "Dear Kenneth." "What I'm doing, what I did   you'll probably never understand." "It felt right at first, but then it got too hard." "When I see you, all I feel is a hard little rock in my stomach." "Here." " This is great." "Soon you'll beat your time." " Lets do another lap." "It's not your fault." "And I don't understand it either." "I'm sorry." "Love, Sara." "What's wrong?" "What is it?"

" Well stay in touch." "I know how it ends." "A few phone calls that eventually peter out." "And suddenly Ill never hear from you again." "What nonsense!" "Well all stay in touch." "Maybe we should clean up." "When I lay me down to rest - 13 angels stand around me." "Two smile on my right." "Two walk on my left." "Two stand guard at my pillow." "Two more at my feet." "Two cover me, two awaken me." "And one shows me all the heavenly paradise." "Hi!" "How are you?" "Hey, wait a minute." "Hey." "Hey." " Sorry." "For what?" " I shouldn't have come." "I shouldn't have talked you into it." "How will you get home?" " Ill take a taxi." "You cant get one now." "Its Christmas Eve." "You can spend the night at my place if you want." "I mean on a mattress." "I have an extra mattress that you can have." "Or on the couch or the floor." "Or I could sleep on..." "Do you want to?" "I wont do anything." "I know its all my fault." "I'm all alone." "Oliver, I don't have anyone." "Come here." "Can you forgive me?" "Yes." "I can." "What are you doing?" "Go back to sleep." "Please don't." "How can you stand it?" " Please don't." "You mustn't." "If you do that, Ill never forgive you." "Stop it." "My phone..." " What?" "I need my phone." " Where?" "Ill get a doctor." " Don't leave me." "Cant you come now?" "Why not?" "Why?" "Are you feeling poorly?" "You need your oxygen." "I want my parents to come." " Easy, Mette." "Call my parents." " Did you take your pill?" "Please call my parents." "Its 4: 15 a.m." " I can tell that..." "Are you okay?" "Oh no." "Fuck." "You have to take the morphine pills." "Promise me." "You need rest." "See you tomorrow." " Don't leave." "Hold me." " Mette, go to sleep." "Am I disgusting?" " No." "You think I'm gross." " No." "Yes, you do." " Try to get some sleep." "Your parents will be here in the morning." "I feel really sick." "Sara." "Sara." "Sara." "You have to come." "Mette is in a bad way." "What?" " Mette is in a really bad way." "How is she?" " I gave her a morphine drip." "She had an anxiety attack."

"Are you disappointed?" "Don't do it if you don't want to." "Don't do it for my sake." "You are brave." "You have the courage to say you're scared." "That's brave." "I'm not disappointed." "Of course I'm not." "You're the best thing in my life, and I would do anything for you." "I understand why you're afraid of the operation." "I would be too." "But if you want it, now's the time." "Ill be there the whole time." "The whole time." "You'll make it." "Yes." "There were problems." "Sara's brain didn't get enough oxygen." "Is she dead?" " No." "But she's in a coma." "Do you understand what I'm saying, Stephanie?" "It doesn't look too good." "Can I see her?" " Not right now." "Torben is with her." "Maybe you should take a sedative." "Dear Stephanie." "When someone dies, it should mean something to the world." "It has to make a difference." "Someone has to be affected." "Someone has to grieve." "And no one must die alone." "That goes for you too, Stephanie." "Love, Sara." "Mom?" "Its me." "Subtitles:" "Karen Margrete Wiin Dansk Video Tekst"
