" You are being addressed." " That's alright." " Will a check be good enough?" " Yes please, but in small notes." "I've got to bring them home or nobody is going to believe me." " As you wish." " You're welcome." "Ms. Holm, I need 3,306.24 kroner." " Cash." " Yes, it's ready." "Thank you." " Here you are." " Thank you, Ms. Holm." "Here you are." "Well, I guess I had better be getting home." "It's for you." "I only know what the green grocer said." " But, dammit, that's got to be..." " Igor!" "I could understand it better if it was one of us Mink had napped." " Where can we find out more?" " Call the police station." "What a damn horrible thought." ""One does not stick one's hand into the mouth of a lion." Genesis." " Run out and play!" " I'm not playing." "Harry's coming!" " Hi, Harry" " Hello, Harry." "Oh no..." " What happened, Harry?" " Did they mistreat you?" "He's probably been brainwashed." "What did these publicans and Pharisees want from you?" " Publicans?" "Is it cigarette paper?" " Unburden you heart, Harry." "I inherited." "I told you!" "He's sick." "They're mine." "Did anybody see you?" "Heisenberg, get 3 pilsners." "Now, go." "The miracle has happened." "He did inherit!" " You're kidding!" " I don't even know the lady." "Each straw gets its drop of dew..." " Think what we could make of them!" " "We"?" "I've never owned that much money." "I can make us stinking rich!" "I thought everyone had forgotten me." "I can get the business for 3,000 in down payment." "Igor!" "We can't sit here and spend Harry's money!" "No, if you really wanted to spend them sensibly   you should found a religious sect." "There's a room over on Clover Street." " You have no idea how happy I am." " Money heals many wounds." "No, it's just that somebody thought of me." " Well, we just want to advice you." " I'll think about it." "I've many times dreamt what I would do   if suddenly I came into money, though I never figured..." "I know what I want to use them for." " You won't put them in the bank?" " Don't be foolish, Harry!" "Yes, Viggo, this something the two of us usually don't talk about." "And it doesn't actually matter whether I'm alive or dead." "Perhaps Igor and the bishop will be sad for a couple of days   but then it'll be forgotten." ""Oh, Harry, he was the guy we played cards with every Wednesday."" "I don't amount to much in the eyes of others." ""Hello there, Harry." That's all." "It's as if there never really was a purpose to me." "I've never been able to give myself a kick in the behind." "And therefore..." "one day at a time." "But there's one thing I've been missing." "And that's love." "I know that love can be bought for money..." "And that's what I'm going to do now." " Christ almighty." "He wants to marry." " His soul has been damaged." "No, blimey, I'm not thinking about ladies." "Nah, I've become too old and too set in my ways." "I've had an idea." "I'm going to hire a butler." "My own personal servant, who's just going to pamper me a little." "A valet?" "We need to get a doctor." "Well, it's his own money." "There must be something he needs more than that!" "Many elderly gentlemen spend the autumn of their lives that way." "Yes, rich gentlemen." "Even if there's only enough for a few months, I'll enjoy every minute." "A valet, you say?" "What about Laurits down in The Drop?" " No, a real one." " But you don't throw away 3,000 kr!" "Yes, 'cause the only thing I miss is someone to pamper me a little." "Then, by Jove, a butler you shall have!" " Where do you get one of those?" " Advertisement?" " You must be able to make one of those." " Do you have a pencil?" "If Harry has been tortured, he can complain to the ombudsman." "It's not called recommendations." "It's called references." " Are you done soon?" " Yeah..." "Now listen." "Manservant sought for personal attendance of older gentleman." "Without references from the best houses it is needless to reflect." "Apply in person this first Monday between 3 and 4 pm." "Harry Adams, Maple Street 248." " I called once I saw the ad." " And I called Fabricius." " He is without work, like I am." " Fabricius is waiting in the salon." "I'll be done here tomorrow." "Her grace had to take a part timer." "The upper class can no longer afford us." "One can hardly tell the difference between one of princely origins   and a bookkeeper." "I remember the prince of Schnurr zum Birkenfeld." "He once found a hair in his soup and had the cook walled in." " Yes, those were the times!" " Only the nouveau-riche can afford us." "Last season I was worked for a wholesaler in meats." "He put the red wine in the ice box." "Naturally I resigned." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Did you read the ad?" " Yes, probably a provision merchant." " Oh no!" " Good thing one saved up a little." "We mustn't fail." "The other day I met Edmund." "He's now head waiter on the Great Belt Ferry." "Our trade is threatened by degeneration and dissolution." "We are the last." "It is our duty to apply for the position with Mr. Adams." " But a provision merchant!" " Even a provision merchant." " He'll make a fool of himself!" " It's his money!" "He must've gone senile." " Is he playing with a full deck?" " A butler!" "Oh you guys are just jealous!" " Hello there, Al Capone!" " Dream girl... princess." " It doesn't work on me." " I'm relaxed." "I'm primitive and natural" " That's how you want me." " I don't want you." " Where are you going?" " I have an appointment." " With whom?" " What business of yours is that?" " With a man?" " Perhaps." " Anyone I know?" " Possibly." "Men will use any trick to get in bed with a girl!" " How do you know?" " What?" "I see what's going on." " I'm a big girl" " Is it serious?" " Between you and that joker." " Perhaps." "Falling for that kind of guy!" "Girls are too damn naive!" "You're so sweet when you're natural." "No, look at those!" "THE DROP CAFE" "They've come to bury me!" "I'm not dead, I can prove it!" " I can't anymore!" " We must." "I give up!" "Fabricius, I'm an old man." "I won't do it!" "You go." "You're younger." "I'll wait for you." "Have courage!" "No, look at that!" "HONK TWICE" "May I presume that you are Mr. Adams?" " Is it the ad?" " I am a reflectant, quite right." "What are you?" "..." "Oh, I see." "Please, come inside." " Won't you sit down?" " Thank you." " I've got to get that repaired." " One can't do everything." "Allow me to introduce myself, Walter Christian Fabricius." "I've brought my references." "References..." "That's what Heisenberg came up with." "Heisenberg?" "Related to the physicist?" " Yeah." "He makes rockets." " Ah." "I see." "If that isn't adequate   you can contact the Duke of Kent." "No, I don't think that'll be necessary." " Excuse me for a moment." " Certainly." "May I offer you a little nip?" "A nip?" "I don't think..." "Are you on the wagon?" "Did you take the pledge?" "Oh, do I have a pathological propensity for alcoholic beverages?" "No, that isn't in the slightest way the case." "It was the best the grocer had." "I am not familiar with this brand and vintage." "Unfortunate that I'm not better oriented." " Cheers." " To your well-being." "No, this brand I've certainly never tasted before." "Well..." " Yes, well..." "How much?" " How much?" " Yes, I mean per week..." " Oh, the weekly wages." "Shall I bring my own livery?" "No, we have credit with the grocer." "According to the tariff, the weekly wages should be 286 kr. plus diet." "Excuse me for a moment." "Heisenberg!" "..." "How do you do it?" "The gravitational pull is negated by Benny." "He's holding my legs." " What's 3,000 divided by 286?" " 11.294." "How many decimals?" " Can you live at home?" " That would be convenient." "Then you're hired." "I shall do my best." "Shall I begin on the first?" " Can you start Monday?" " So soon?" "I have a bridge party Wednesday." "Then the bishop and prince Igor come over." "Prince Igor?" "A relative of Grand Prince Ivan Ivanovich Igoritsky?" "No, I don't think so." "His dad lives over on Clover Street." " How early shall I arrive?" " I need to be with the green..." " I start work at 9 am." " Very well." "At 8 o'clock sharp I shall wake you with the morning tray." " Won't you..." " No thanks." "Goodbye." "And stay cheerful." "I shall do my best." "Thank you so much, Mr. Adams." "Goodbye." "With your permission." " How was it?" " Indescribable." " So you said no?" " I said yes." "It's hard to understand, but I long for something to do." "I guess I can last a couple of weeks." " Was it that bad?" " Worse." "Good morning, Mr. Adams." "It is precisely 8 o'clock." "I hope the master had a quiet night." " 15, 3 to 4, clear. 1070 rising." " I'm sorry?" "Temperature, wind speed and barometric pressure." " Is that good weather?" " Not for trout fishing." "Trout..." "No, not quite today." "When does master leave?" "Is it too presumptuous to inquire into the master's occupation?" "I help the green gro..." "I'm employed in the food industry." " I have to leave at a quarter to" " Then I'll get the bath ready." "That is so nice." "38 degrees ought to be suitable this time of year." "The bath is ready." "Which one, Mr. Adams?" "The Prince of Scorofentri always used striped ones before noon." " Will master have lunch at the club?" " The club?" " No, I'll be home at noon." " Then lunch will be ready." "May I wish master good luck in today's endeavors." "Good morning." " Isn't Harry home?" " Mr. Adams has just left." "Can I launch it now?" "He usually doesn't mind." "That one didn't work either." "It goes up a meter and then down again." "Did you cause the explosion?" "Oh, it's not quite dead yet." "Get that instrument out of this house immediately!" " Why are you cleaning?" " That's my job." " But you're a man!" " What's your name, my friend?" "Poul." "They call me Heisenberg." "I used to deliver newspapers." " Are you married?" " No." "Then who decides on what you have to do?" "No one can serve two masters." "How old are you?" " 10." " That young?" "!" " Weren't you at my age?" " No, that..." "What?" "!" "I find your sense of logic appealing." "It's dangerous to play with rockets." "Does your mother know what you do?" "She's in the hospital." "Nervous breakdown." "I think it's something with my dad." "I have to go to school." "Goodbye." "He looks like a penguin." " Was that him?" "!" " Yes." "The valet of my delivery man!" "Crazy times." " I'm getting all nervous." " That is in no way unusual." "The Duke of Fiori always took a sedative before a party." "Fabricius..." "How does one do it?" "Do you say your name or..." "Just leave all that to me, Mr. Adams." "His Royal Highness Prince Igor." " Hello." " Hello." "His Reverence the bishop of..." "of..." " Oh get outta here." " With pleasure." "Please be seated." "Is he going to stay here all night?" "Oh well, cheers and welcome to all of you." "Isn't he going home soon?" "Isn't this cozy, huh?" "Could anyone want more?" ""There are only two tragedies in this life."" ""Not to get what you want, and to get it."" "Socrates." "The bon mot in question is by Bernard Shaw." "Shaw.. oh right." "Right on the tip of my tongue." "Thanks." "He does that too." "He does everything." "Harry, your turn to call." "Let me see..." "I must ask for your indulgence." "I am not yet familiar with the tastes of the guests." "Is this your brand?" "Erh, malaria, frequent fevers, my time in the East." "So my doctor..." "Personal preference in beverage is highly individual." "The Duke of Beaufort preferred turpentine in his tea over lemon." "Each to his taste." "I do hope you'll make use of the house bottle." "He's something out of the ordinary." "That's what I call class. "What does Your Royal Highness think?"" "Shut up..." ""Your Reverence."" "Is Your Reverence pleased with the vintage?" "Now!" "This is no joking matter." " Time, bishop?" " It's too late!" " Just let it bump!" "It's fastened with a clothes pin!" "What's the matter?" "Did you run into a fist?" "Is it Magdalena?" " The business?" " It was sold this morning?" "Oh, dear." "At least you had the pleasure of fantasizing about it." "Another one will probably come along." " Nothing will happen." " You won't know how high it goes." "And my kid brother!" "I'm telling Fabricius." "Fabricius, come!" "Heisenberg is about to launch little Tom in a rocket." "Little Tom goes into the barrel." "He's getting launched." "I'm just testing the size." "He volunteered, right?" "Heisenberg, go to the house!" "You promised you'd stop these tests." "This must be the famous Fabricius." "How do you do." "I'm Magdalena." "Oh, I see." "Very pleased indeed." "Welcome." " What's the matter?" " The old problem between generations." "Harry gave me permission to find some materials." "She finds a bicycle, smashes it and calls it "mother and child"." "He's so cheeky!" "`" " Go inside." "I'll be right along." " Am I getting psycho analyzed?" "You've made Harry happy." "He's a completely different person." "I am pleased." "I'm only doing my duty." "There is something I want to ask you about." "This is not some curious notion." "Tell me, Mr. Adams..." "Your eyes are pearls." " What's your name?" "Else." "Did no one tell you that you have lovely eyes?" " Perhaps." " Who?" " He's out sailing." " So you're left alone knitting?" " Yeah..." " I'm alone too." "I could come hold your yarn for you?" " Perhaps." "Else, we have customers!" "Oh, what's this!" "I was just telling Else how I fried eggs when I was sailing." "Turn the heat down to low or you'll burn your fingers!" " I can't sell it." " Hardly surprising." "You're doing it wrong." "You look as if you're insulted." "You have to sell yourself." "I mean..." "Let me try." " How much for this stuff?" " 6 kroner a piece." "6 kroner!" "They're worth twice that." "We'll charge 12." "Naw, look at him go!" "Just be glad you don't see all of his little tricks." " How much did you get?" " One moment..." "Goodbye, ladies." "Thanks for stopping by." " 4 necklaces, 48 kroner." " You keep half." "I don't need to make more than 6 kr." "You've earned them honestly." " What does it cost to make them?" " I don't know." "It's macaroni, straw and sunflower seeds. 50 ore a piece." "50 ore!" "This could be a huge business." " You'll make them, I'll sell them." " The two of us?" " They are actually beautiful." " You think so?" "I've always wanted to become a businessman." "I love selling." "It doesn't matter what you sell." "I never thought it would be macaroni." "You look tired, your Reverence." "Too late to bed." "These days you need to work the night shift as well." "Unhappy with life?" "They're taking down the phone wires and putting cables in the ground." "What will the little birds sit on?" "No, romance is going away." "Shouldn't your Reverence think about your health?" "You mean morals are a chemical compound that dissolves in alcohol?" "But that doesn't go for me." "I have no morals if I don't..." "Heisenberg, would you do me a favor and do some shopping for me?" "Yes." " Are your hands cold?" " Nah." " Then take them out of your pocket!" " Then I will be cold." "What does one do against this kind of logical answers?" "!" "The house needs a dustpan." "Will you buy one?" "But we need to save, so get it as cheaply as possible." "No, the cards have been dealt, Fabricius." "It's too late to change my ways." "I must go to the end of the line and continue my collections." "That gives people an opportunity to do a good deed." " That's a positive after all." " A surprising point of view." "AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY" "Get out of here!" "What the hell are you doing here, kid?" "How do you do, Your Royal Highness." "Banded!" "Want one?" " Want one too?" " If I may wait." "Bought for money." "Earned in a decent manner." "I've started selling jewelry." "Macaroni?" " How did you know?" " I ate a couple of them yesterday." "That's not a laughing matter." "They're works of art." "Magdalena, I imagine?" "Original and talented." "We're going to do business together." "A sort of chain store." "Very funny." "I will bring Your Highness a cup." "She really is a sweet girl." "Marriage is the only punishment not shortened by good behavior." "Why do you say that?" "Fabricius, what's wrong with me?" " Nothing, Your Highness." " Then why doesn't she want me?" "I've told you, you're using an all wrong technique with that girl." "His Reverence is right." "Your approach is wrong." "What do you know about ladies?" "I worked for 2 years at a French ambassador's." "First you find out if the young lady has any feeling of sympathy for you." " What do I do?" " Nothing." "How do you do nothing?" "Next time you meet Magdalena, be cold and rejecting." " Ignore her." " Then what?" "Good thing I don't have to deal with that anymore!" "What if she doesn't react?" "If she doesn't care?" "Then we must find out why." "But if she reacts positively, then it's scientifically proven   that she will do her utmost to make you interested in her." "Girls don't chase men." "The mouse trap doesn't run after the mouse." "You do not know the psyche of women." "No, that's one of the few ailments I've been spared of." "Scientifically proven?" "I'll be damned." " Here you go." " Where on earth did you buy this?" "I got it for free, so I saved the money." " You coming?" " Yes." " Isn't that good enough?" " Yes, that's very nice." " Are you coming tonight, Fabricius?" " Oh, I forgot, Fabricius!" "You told Harry about a count who would sometimes invite you out." "The Duke of Orleans took me to Maxim." "Tonight Harry will invite you to The Drop Cafe." " No compulsory champagne!" " But the best bouncer in town." " Oh, an eccentric restaurant." " Nah, it's a nice place." "The entertainment are select, exquisite brawls." "If you get the hostess drunk you can get her to sing." "Your arguments are so compelling that I will join you." "There's the king of the junk yard and his fancy pansy butler." "Mr. butler, hand me my dentures I'm hungry." "James, will you iron my pajamas!" "I only sleep in Chanel No. 5." " Never mind that." " Ignore them." "Interesting study of folklore, not unlike the atmosphere of Montmartre." "Pleased to make your acquaintance, colleague." "Colleague?" "The pleasure is all mine." " The usual?" " Or a snaps?" "No, that's too strong." "You should be ashamed, stealing Harry's money like that." " Your tone is inappropriate." " You getting cheeky?" " Go, Orla, you're drunk." " Shut up, Loony-Harry!" " Your thinker is dented!" " Now beat it, Orla." "How is this here nursing home going to kick me out?" "Get going, Orla." "You have richly exceeded your competence." "No one puts a hand on Mr. Adams." "Since you seem to only speak brawl, I will agree to   converse with you in that language." "I must request you to strike first." "Looking for a beating?" " He's an okay fella!" " Did you se that?" "What technique!" " They like him!" " Where did you learn that?" " The Earl of Brettshire was so..." "If you need work, come to mama here." " What happened?" " Fabricius said "hello" to Orla." "Mademoiselle." "What did Trine mean?" "Fabricius ended a discussion with Orla with quite a punch." "Is that a new blouse?" "Sew it yourself?" " Yes." " It shows." "...the black sailor with flag yellow and red" "It brings ill omen and friends to be dead." "Do you have a cigarette?" " Are you talking to me?" "You're so strange." "What's the matter?" "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" " Do you want a cigarette?" " No thanks." "I'd like to show you something." "It's an honor to get to see Viggo's album." "Everybody likes him." "How about a toast to Fabricius?" ""You can toast so much to the health of others-"" ""- that you lose your own." Richard Wagner." " Won't you toast with me?" " What?" "I'm toasting with you." "If you don't start acting normally, I'm leaving." "Let me know if you need a cab." " Here you go." " Thanks." "POLICE ALBUM" "There are over 200 cops with full description of their person." "It's supposed to be like when others make a criminal album." "But nobody wanted to buy it." "It's a good idea, though, isn't it?" "Very praiseworthy initiative." "You can borrow it if you want." "No, thank you very much." "It's most kind of you." " Trine, sing for us." " I'm busy." "Positive." "Here you go." " Harry, would you..." " This is theater director Kjeldsen." "And which theater does the gentlemen direct?" "He's no more a theater director than my behind is!" "He used to send theater tickets to lonely couples and write: " ""Guess who sent the tickets?" The couple went to the theater." "When they came back home, he'd taken anything of value." "He'd leave a letter: "Now you know who sent the tickets."" "What imagination!" "Now he's a florist." " Hello, Harry." " Hi there, Kaj..." "Here you go." "Can you make Trine sing of those, you know?" "I'll try." "I feel sorry for Magdalena." "Shouldn't I..." "Not at all." "Patience." "Trine is singing a song." "If anybody complains, they get kicked out!" "Now listen." "The one, you know." "The day dies and people go home it's closing time it's five o'clock the rush of the day has come to a halt and the city gets into it's evening clothes shrouds itself in street light everything's possible and temptingly close" "humming buzz of distant traffic interspersed with some luring dance music you stand somewhere looking around and glimpse a perspective for just now those things could happen you hope for the most those little droplets of unexpected happiness perhaps just some fun" "when the rush of work has come to a halt and the city is wearing its evening clothes the evening gave you a free ticket you're a spectator in the first row now it's crowded in every cafe" "3,000 beers and one cup of tea you have the gift of the gab aw, what you say on an evening like this for a second the thought assumes a shape tomorrow must be taken by storm you are somewhere you look around" "and glimpse a perspective for just now those things could happen you hope for the most those little droplets of unexpected happiness you settle for some fun when the rush of work has come to a halt and the city is wearing its evening clothes" "tra-la-la-la-la tra-la-la-la-la..." "Isn't this wonderful?" "Krause is coming!" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "If you'd like to converse with me, you'll have to change your tone." " May I ask for your card?" " Yes... but it's me!" "That identification doesn't seem convincingly logical." " Where's Adams?" " In the club, I presume." " You mean the youth club?" " That is beyond my knowledge." " Who the hell are you?" " We're back where we started." " Who the devil are you, man?" " You're getting monotonous." "I am Mr. Adams' butler." "Butler?" "I'm not well..." "My master would appreciate if, in the future, you'd make an appointment." "I got to get home, I've gone mad." "Help." "Thank you for your visit." "Goodbye." "No!" "I'm Krause." "This is my house." "Who are you?" "Where's Adams?" "I own it all." "Do you understand?" "You're fired." "What are you doing here?" " Is your stomach often troubling you?" " Can you tell?" " Nerves, undoubtedly." " Doctor says it's acid." "Oh, I see." "Wouldn't you like to sit down a little?" "No thanks." "You can really tell?" "My uncle was ulcerous." "He was about your age when he died." "I'm spending 100 kr. a month on medications!" "It's the soul that needs healing." " The soul?" "What about antacids?" " There is a way... yoga." " Is that pills or powder?" " Meditation and metaphysics." "What does it cost?" "I'll be happy to teach you a couple of exercises." " Yes please." " Remove your frock, jacket and shoes." "Ha-ha!" "Those dukes are funny characters!" "I like hearing you talk about all the places you've been." "No more!" "I've gained 5 pounds since you came." "Towers..." "I've never eaten with silverware before." "I don't think the food tastes any different." "But it was nice of you to bring it here." "I use it so rarely." "Fabricius... there's something we need to talk about." "Very well." "Please, sit down." "I don't like you standing up." "I'm sorry, but this is your last weekly salary." "Does this mean I have to leave you?" "... I'm sorry." "You know that I inherited some money and came up with the idea of you." " And now the inheritance is spent?" " Yes." "I'm going to miss you." "Thanks, Fabricius." "No one has ever said that to me before." "Mr. Adams, I've been fortunate enough to have a little bit set aside." "I wouldn't mind..." "if you can accept it..." "Spit it out." "What is you're want to say?" "I wouldn't mind continuing for a while longer   for a symbolic payment." "You mean without wages?" "It's nice of you, but..." " I've never been more comfortable." " We can't do that, Fabricius." "Fabricius, we need clear lines between the two of us, don't you see?" "Next Monday..." "So that's the last day." " There is no other way?" " Nope." "Very well." "Fabricius..." "Are you going home now?" "Not if there's anything I can do for you." "Nah, it's..." "It just gets so empty." "Well, I'm going over to see the Tolstoy Ballet." "The Bolshoi Ballet?" " Do you like ballet?" " I often visited Covent Garden." " Don't you want to come?" " It's not too much of a bother?" "No, it'll be fun!" "I've reserved 2 orchestral seats." "They're over there, under the table." " Would you like to see the program?" " Yes please." " Here you go." " Thank you." "I'm looking forward to this." "We are now transferring to our transmission van." "Krause is coming!" "Hi." "Hello, my boy." "How do you do." "A little something for Mr. Adams." "Thank you very much... and welcome." " How are things?" " Splendid." "I bought books on the subject." "It's the best medicine I've had." "You didn't get any medicine at all." "You've only been forced to make a stop." "I might as well have taught you embroidery." " Ha-ha!" "Such nonsense." "The train..." "Now watch!" "No more nerves." " I'll be damned." " It stays in place." "Well!" "..." "There's something I'd like you to help me with." "Do you think I could learn this?" " Give Fabricius my best!" " Thanks, I will." "But that's Krause!" " Welcome Mr. Krause." " Mr. Krause is in a trance." " But that's crazy." " He can be used for a hat rack." "Look what Meyer gave me" "It's probably best that I wake Mr. Krause." "Oh... oh... comfy." " Mr. Krause?" " Thanks." " How do you do, Adams." " How do you do, Mr. Krause." " This is my friend the bishop." " Krause." "Automobile purchases, sales and scrapping." " It finally happened." " What happened?" " The police?" " No..." " Go on, tell us!" " I'm getting married." " Congratulations!" " Magdalena?" "Yes." "I don't know how it happened." "Suddenly..." "It happened!" " Congratulations, my son." " Thank you." "I don't believe the gentlemen have met." "Krause." "Automobile purchases, sales and scrapping." "Igor." "Jewelry, import, export." "Pleased to meet you." "Listen, we got to celebrate." "Fabricius, get the port wine." " Please sit down." " Thanks." "Please, be seated, Mr. Krause." "We'll open a business." "Magdalena makes the necklaces   and I sell them." "I'll be a law abiding citizen." "Harry, is it true that Fabricius is leaving?" "What day is it today?" "Monday." "Yes, then it's the last day Fabricius is here." "But he can't!" "Is all the money gone?" " I've suggested..." " It's out of the question." "What did Fabricius suggest?" "You can become my waiter!" "... No, that was a bad idea." "You're going to stay." "Aren't you?" "We've got to come up with something!" "We all knew that it would end one day." "I didn't give it a thought." "I've gotten so used to him." "I can hardly remember how it was before." " May I make a proposal?" " Not if it's about money." "You're usually never shy of ideas." "I've got lots of ideas." "But I was going to become a law abiding citizen." " Let's taste the..." "Cheers." " Cheers." "Allow me to speak." "But I think I've come up with the solution." "The problem is of as great importance to me as it is to you." "I will never find a master like you." "You've taught me to respect human value rather than form." "But for the first time I feel that I can cause joy with my work." "Yes..." "But the solution?" "Mr. Adams..." "Dare I suggest, that I hire you?" " You want me as you waiter?" " Quite the opposite." "I will employ you as my personal master." "I can offer you 286 kr. weekly." " I don't understand..." " You re-hire me." "I will of course require my usual salary." "You give me 286 kr." "And then you get 286 kr. from me." " But..." " Harry, you fool!" "That should create clear lines between us, shouldn't it?" "You give me 286 kr." "And then you get 286 kr. from me." "And what are we going to live from?" "You will continue with Mr. Meyer." "An I may attempt to do some language teaching." "So you find those terms acceptable?" "Would you like me to start on the first?" "You couldn't start on Monday?" " So soon?" " Wednesday is our bridge night." "Then the bishop and Prince Igor come over." "I've been so lucky." ""The apple that ripens late, lasts long."" " Shakespeare?" " No, green grocer Meyer." "THE END"
