"So now we're supposed to throw ourselves at each other?" "Only if you pressure me." "I can't." "A hotel room is too low." "Every time I enter a room, I think I'll see him." "But I never do." "So I go to the cemetery." "Then I know that he is dead." " Did you want it watertight?" " Start over, Nørregaard." "If I catch you cutting corners one more time   it's all over." "Do you understand?" "The only one keeping this family together is me." " You're never home." " I've been thinking about leaving Søs." "You have a 1 1/2-year old daughter." "And Margrethe." " How long have you known mum?" " You told her everything?" "Yes." "I had to." "I told her that you're her father." "I'll never leave you." "I'm going to study Danish literature." "I start Monday." "You're twice the age of all the others there." "Something needs to happen in your mum's life." " Excuse me, what's going on?" " The lessons are suspended." "What does that mean?" "It's Latin and means "temporarily cancelled"." " Where are you from?" " The Department of Psychology." " For how long?" " Until our demands have been met." " Is the exam suspended too?" " Go to the yard." "We could use someone to make coffee." "Ida?" " Hello, Søren." " It's been a long time." " What are you doing here?" " I'm starting my Danish studies." "I was just thinking about how you were doing." "Short hair looks great on you." " What are you doing here?" " Handing in an application." "I moved to Copenhagen." "To the terraced houses by the Lakes." " What's that?" " We're taking action." "Ah!" "It's spreading." " I have to go." " Yes." "Let's have a beer?" "No, I have to get back to work." "I just came to pick up the book list." " Do you still work as a secretary?" " Yes." "Studying at the same time." "Impressive." "It was nice to see you." "Good luck on your application." "How are your boys?" "Did they get a dog?" "Yes, I see you." "But your friends should get a chance to join in." "Should I go over it again?" "The colour image comes about   when three different colouring agents; red, green and blue, light up." "When the radiation from the tube's electronic gun   is transmitted through holes in the inserted metal screen   they hit the colour dots on the colour screen here." "How many holes does it take to make a complete colour image?" "Bjarne, how many holes do you think there are in this metal screen?" " 5000." " 5000?" " 10." " 10, 20, 30." "No, Bjarne." "There are 400,000 holes." "That's right. 400,000 holes for all the red, green and blue dots." "That's right." "It's sensitive stuff we're dealing with here." "But we've solved all the problems." "We can feel proud   that we produce the most reliable colour TV on the market." "The image is perfectly clear with very distinct colours." " What's happening?" " Yes." "What indeed is happening?" " Can you tell what this is?" " A magnet." "If the tube is exposed to magnetic disturbances   the aim of the electron radiation is imprecise." "The image breaks down." "I ask that you gentlemen pay close attention." "Because this might very well be your work in the future." "When everybody rushes to the store to get a colour TV." "That's when you will be needed, adjusting colour screens." "What do you think about that?" "You didn't know that, did you, Henrik?" "Does anyone want to try?" " Yes, Mogensen?" " We're one man short." " Feel free to pick one." " Nørregaard." " Why me?" " You had better go with him." " Say hi downstairs, Nørregaard." " Shut up." "Why am I always the one doing the crappy work?" "Because you're the youngest." "Get cracking, Nørregaard." " It's unfair." "I am off work now." " You're off, when I say so." "Get in there." "The sooner you're done, the sooner you can go home." "How about easing up a bit, Mogensen?" " Does he deserve better than others?" " He doesn't deserve worse." " That's not what he's getting." " Are you sure about that?" "When I was an apprentice at BW we had better toe the line." " That's why you're so wimpy." " What?" "Wimpy?" "Dr. Trolle, who delivered the heir to the throne, Princess Margrethe   says that mother and child are well and have had family visits." "Foreign news:" "Today there were new bombings of Vietcong supply lines." "Bo and Henrik?" "Isn't Henrik home yet?" "What are you reading?" " A book on psychology." " Since when did that interest you?" "What was wrong with dad the times he was in the hospital?" "Weak nerves, I guess." "Granny told me that he was very moody." " Was he manic-depressive?" " What?" " It can be hereditary." " Your dad wasn't manic-depressive." "Just because you're in a bad mood, you're not necessarily ill." "Before choking on that psychology book, I need you to peel potatoes." " Are you going to the party?" " No." "Why not?" "You complain that you don't know your class mates." "I don't complain." "They just don't interest me." "It's not healthy being by yourself all the time." " What about you?" " When do I have time for that?" " The dairy shop pressed for payment." " They must wait." "We only have 300." "Where did all this water come from?" "Don't tell me something's wrong with the refrigerator." " Damn!" " I'll get Børge." " There." " How long must it be like that?" " A couple of days?" " What are you doing?" " The fridge is broken." " Why is it upside-down?" "It's something to do with the compressor." " That sounds silly." " He only now let you off?" "I'm tired of that bugger." "Mr. Mogensen." " Then rebel." "Like the students." " No, save us!" "I've waited 20 years to study and then everything gets turned on its head." "Just like the fridge." " Is that you, honey?" " Yes." " Did you have a nice day?" " Yes." "And you?" " Am I pale around the eyes?" " No, I don't think so." "Weren't you going to Ida's to offer her the apartment?" "I don't think she's interested." "You can't know that, until you ask her." " She must be interested." " No, I'm not sure." "What is it with you and Ida?" "You're always avoiding her." "What do you mean?" "Whenever I suggest inviting her, you don't want to." "That's nonsense." "Mum, Marie gropes my stuff." "She cut my Rya rug." "I asked you to look after her for 20 minutes." "Hey, sweetie." "What's up, Marie?" "Have you been cutting Margrethe's Rya?" "You can't do that, sweetie." "There ..." " Margrethe is angry." " What's that?" "Margrethe's angry?" "I should say so." "Viggo hasn't answered her letter." " So why doesn't she call him up?" " Don't suggest that to her too." "She was the one who wanted to write." "He could have responded." "He doesn't dare tell his wife." "He's always been a sop." " You should know." " Yes, I want him far away." "Mr. Kjeldsen just called." "Mr. Hubermann has landed." " Will you get some sandwiches?" " It's been taken care of." "You're an angel." "May I congratulate you on being back on the West German market?" "Yes, that feels good." "Danish Radio isn't exactly quick off the mark." "It'll take a few years to get colour TV started." "So we are dependent on the other markets." "I sense from you, sir, that things are going quite well." "It's hard not to be smitten with a certain optimism." "Especially after the change of cabinet." "We needed that." "Yes ... yes." "What is he doing?" "I have no idea." "Funder said it should be perfect." " Nørregaard, what're you doing here?" " Absorbing." "Yeah, right." "Get lost." " Didn't you hear me?" " Yes." " Is everything in place, Mogensen?" " Yes, everything's in order." "I personally adjusted each TV set." "Then I'm afraid you've not done the best job." "And here we have our colour TV sets." " Hello." " Hello." " What's this?" " I think it's a practical joke." "Mogensen, do you have a magnet in you pocket?" "Henrik, open up." "Did granddad say he was dismissed?" "Yes." "Henrik, unlock the door!" " Did you ruin the TV sets?" " No, I didn't." " They can easily be fixed." " He'll come 'round, then." "No, he won't." "He said that ..." "That I was never to return." "Is this a bad time?" "I just wanted to give you this." "It's the list of the books for your next semester." "Thank you." " Did you hand in your application?" " Yes." "I got an idea about the other applicants." "It doesn't look promising." "Hello, Bo." "I hardly recognized you." " How are you?" " Fine, thank you." " You're in the middle of something." " Yes, I'm afraid so." "I'll give you a call, when you're not so busy." " Nice to see you again, Bo." " You too." " I met him at the university." " Nice of him to stop by." "I said thank you." "Yes, I did." "Stop it." "Start making dinner, and I'll go have a talk with Henrik." " Mum!" "The fridge is leaking again." " Let it leak." "Imagine if the baby is half as pretty." "The Prince is very handsome." "So French, so cultured." " Mrs. Nørregaard?" " Hello, Ms. Toft." " It's been a while." " Does Henrik's granddad have time." "I heard what happened." "I so enjoyed Henrik's company." "One moment, please, and I'll check." "Mrs. Nørregaard is asking whether you have time for her, sir." " Please." "Go in." " Thank you." "Let me." "I have to treat Henrik like I would anybody else." "The staff must see that there are no special rules for family." " Of course." "But he's only 15." " That's where the problem lies." "I let him start too early." "I thought he might be more mature." "He's needed a talking to a few times." "Did he tell you?" "Minor episodes that I ascribed to his young age." "This time he crossed the line." "This is a business." "Not a school or a university, where young people do what they want." "Henrik has given a West German customer a bad impression of Bella." "You know how they view a company   that appears disorganized." "I am so sorry." "And so is Henrik." "We'll find something else for him." "Something that interests him." "There is nothing else." "It's Bella, Bella, Bella, from he comes home till he gets up." "He was teasing Mogensen." "Had he known what it meant to you, it would never have happened." "Dismissing him is a disaster." "I haven't seen him cry, since he was little." "Not even when his dad died." "He's at home." "Inconsolable." "If he can't return here, he wants to move to Horsens, to Arena." "Well, what do you know." "He always was stubborn." "I wonder where he got that." " No, it was Dance of Death, Lily." " That's right." "Look, we have company." "I didn't think you worked in the bank on Saturdays." "Hello." "Viggo." " We came to say hello to Margrethe." " It's your car outside, then?" "A pathetic thing we borrowed." "As Viggo says, "With an erection you can't turn the steering wheel."" "What a perfectly wonderful house you have here." " Please." " Thank you." "And Margrethe's room." "A young lady with good taste." " More coffee?" " No, thank you." " We're meeting Balling." " He offered Viggo a movie part." "Something called 'The Olsen Gang.' It's about three small-time criminals." "Viggo certainly has his dark secrets." "It was quite a neat surprise he presented me with recently." "But it's hard to stay angry, when the result is so charming." "Do you do your own hair?" " Yes, I do." " It's very pretty." " You're birthday's coming up. 15." " On Wednesday, yes." " I'm afraid we can't make it." " We would have liked to." "But we did bring you a little something." " Thank you." " You may open it now." " Is that something you'd like?" " Yes, very much." "Lily and Viggo are inviting me to Southern France." " Well, that's quite something." " May I see?" "We have a room at the best hotel in Saint-Tropez." "I think ..." "Didn't I bring it, Viggo?" "There it is." "Look." "Saturday!" "Her school-break hasn't started yet." " What grade are you in, sweetie?" " 8th form." " Then you can easily get time off." " Not outside vacations." "You don't know that, mum." "The others do it all the time." " But you also have your exam." " Not exam." "It's an annual test." " I'll be back for the orales." " We need to talk it over." "Yes, of course." "Dad, what do you say?" "Can I please go?" "Søs, it's very hard to turn her down." "Look, how happy she is." "She's only doing that to bother me." "She knows that I hate for her to spend time with Viggo." "She wants to know her father." "You don't care that she's going with them." "When she sees how self-absorbed they are, she'll soon lose interest." " Why didn't you ring the bell?" " I was about to." "You knew I came from church and didn't want granddad to let you in." " Is he still very angry at me?" " I don't think so." "He asked for you." "You can go in." "Yes ..." "Come in." "You can thank your mother that I bother to see you here today." "I can't fathom how you could behave so foolishly." "Your father did things like that." "I never imagined you could be as inconsiderate." "I am not like my father." "Do you realize what this deal means to the factory?" " Will it not go through?" " Probably not." "You don't deserve it, but ..." "I'll give you one last chance." "And when I say last chance ..." "do you understand what I'm saying?" "Yes." "For the next two months you will attend technical school." "It's no longer here in Copenhagen but in Ringsted." " If there's the slightest hitch ..." " There won't be." "I think you should go home and pack, before I change my mind." "Come, Margrethe." " You lent them money for the car?" " Viggo met Helle Virkner." "She told him that she and Jens Otto had an account with us." " So you had to give them a car loan." " That's the way it works." " A loan without an account?" " They have one now." "And an overdraft facility?" "You're kidding!" " We're off!" " Goodbye, mum and dad." "Goodbye, Marie." "Take care." " Au revoir." " Take good care of her." " Viggo is unreliable with money." " They have good, steady incomes." " Besides, he's got a movie part." " Which he turned down." "One thing is, you letting them take our daughter." "Do you also have to pay for it?" "6 months ago Johnson thought the Vietnam war was under control." "But the Tet-offensive has created problems for the Americans." "How nice." "Do you come from the bank this late?" " No ..." " Did you hear about Kennedy?" "That he died?" "Yes." "What kind of a world is this?" "They also killed Martin Luther King." " Where are the boys?" " Henrik is at school in Ringsted." "Bo is at a high-school party." "Would you like some coffee?" "No, thank you." "I just came to show you this." "The bank has an apartment in the new house in Dagmar Street." "Lots of light, new toilet and bath and central heating, of course." " At how much?" " 800 DKK a month plus heating." " I have a floor plan here." " It looks nice, but ..." "I can't swing that." "We're on a tight budget." "Now that Henrik's in school, there will be more room for Bo." "Keep this, think it over and talk it through with the boys." "When Henrik is finished, you'll need some more space." "I'll think it over." "It's very sweet of you." "Børge said Margrethe is on vacation with Viggo Valentin and his wife." "Søs is coming apart, and I feel completely redundant." "I doubt it." " How's university going?" " The lessons have been suspended." "And the exam is cancelled." "The young students don't care   but it's 6 months that I can't afford." " Maybe we could learn from them." " What?" "The youngsters." "They know how to get what they want." " We've always been well-behaved." " My father wouldn't agree with you." "Rebellion was always connected with guilt." "Young people today are not marred by that." "I wish we could just ignore what everybody's thinking." " What would you do?" " You know that." "Palle, we talked about that." "You know it's impossible." "Why?" "I forgot." "Because your family needs you." "Couldn't' we live in sin a little bit?" " If we practice, then ..." " Palle, stop it." "I'll go make coffee, and we'll talk of it no more." "Ida speaking." "Hello." "No, that's alright." "I'm sorry, I didn't thank you properly." "When would that be?" "Saturday?" "No, I don't think I can." "Actually, I think I can." "Where should we meet?" "I'll see you around 4, then." "Yes." "Good bye." "It was Søren." " You're seeing him again?" " Yes." " I didn't know." " No, how could you." " Hello, Palle." "It's been a long time." " I stopped by with some papers." "I'd better get home." "It's wonderful to see you again." "I'll see myself out, thank you." "Bye." " That was early." " I was bored." "I'll go read." "Did you even give it a chance?" "Madam, I'm sure you will be pleased with your new freezer." "Since watching "Do You Like Oysters?" chest freezers scare her." "She thought her husband would throw her into it while she was sleeping." "Is there anything from society's abundance that could tempt you?" "It's a great offer." "It's kept the beers cold at the ambassador's." " You don't have anything for 500?" " 500." "No, but ..." "I'll let you have this for 500." "Do you deliver?" " When?" " This afternoon." "Robert!" "You must sell at the price on the sign." "Madsen, I love you." "You are the spitting image of reality." "Did you smoke that stuff again?" "You need a hair cut." "Well, 500 it is." " What about, what he said?" " Who?" "Okay, but I have to go to the bank first." "Damn!" "It's got a light inside." "You got it way too cheap." "Now, all I need is a little signature." " May I get a glass of water?" " There're glasses in the cupboard" " How many live here?" " Me, my mother and my little brother." "Bo Nørregaard." "Where's dad?" "Did he go for cigarettes and never come back?" "Something like that." " Are you in school?" " Yes." "High school junior." " 3 years of enslavement." " It's okay." "As if reading a book ever made anybody smarter." "Do you know, where it's at now?" "In the streets." "Look around you." "Rome, Madrid, Berlin." "The workers have joined forces with the students in Paris." "Underneath the paving stone lies the beach." "That's what they say there." "It means that all the old crap is falling apart." "How about this old crap?" "Will you take that with you?" "Yes." "Robert!" "Could you let go of her and move the cupboards inside." " Madsen, you can leave." " Right, and then the manager comes." "No, no thank you." " The student." " I want to talk to you." " What about?" " Did you overcharge 300?" "What are you talking about?" "In the cupboard with the glasses there were 300 DKK." "They're gone." "I give you a discount and then you accuse me of stealing your money." " Did he steal?" " Of course not." "If he stole, then that's the final straw." "Robert!" "How much was it?" "300." " I only have 250." " Don't." " Take it." " It's not your problem." "Take it." "I'm sure Robert didn't mean anything by it." " What's that?" " I bought it." " With what?" " My money in the bank." "Did you take out money from the bank?" "You shouldn't have." "It doesn't matter." "It's really beautiful." "Where did this money come from?" "The 300 here." "It wasn't here before." " I just put it back." " What do you mean?" "I was going to give it to Henrik, but he didn't want it." "I'm going out for a minute." "So, what do you think?" "Yes, it's a beautiful house." "And modern, right, Karen?" " Yes, indeed." " The janitor showed us the flat." " It looks fine." " Absolutely." "But Palle ..." "Don't you think you should have asked Ida?" "I asked her." "She declined." " She'll miss us, if we move." " She suggested I ask you." "You will have more room when you're minding Emma's boys." " We don't see much of them." " After they moved to Sweden." "Do you want it or not?" "It's a lot of space to sit on for just two people." "So you don't want it." "For years you've said, "If only we could get a better flat."" "And when I offer you one, you don't want it." "In the last 20 years we've fought for better housing standards." "A place, where children don't get sick." " Did you forget, why mum died?" " No, of course not." "Karen, what do you say?" "Maybe we should take it." "Don't do it on account of me!" "People are lining up." "Right." "How are things at home?" "Fine." "Why wouldn't they be?" " Have you heard from Margrethe?" " We got a card yesterday." "She gets around." "She's been to Monte Carlo and to a casino." "He seems to be well off, that actor fellow." " Hello." " Hello." "I've been looking for you." "That thing with the money was a mistake." "I was looking for you, but Robert doesn't work in the shop anymore." "No, he got fired." "Ah, the student." "What did I steal this time?" " I'm sorry about your job." " I'll find something else." " Here." " What the hell is that?" " He needs that money." " I'm truly sorry." " Where are you going?" " I'm going home." "Nonsense." "You need to get out a bit." "I'm glad you came." " Any news about your application?" " No." "It's not going to happen." "The students occupy 50% of the seats in all the employment committees." " Is that bad for you?" " Yes." "I've written for a social liberal paper, which makes me reactionary." "No!" "Now I know what to do." "You're coming to see my house." "We'll get some spring rolls." "Right?" "Say yes, come on." " I can't get back late." " You won't." "So, the windows of the American embassy have been smashed, again." " Oh, I can't park here." " Shall I go order?" "I'll just park the car around the corner and then I'll join you." " He looks pale, our student." " Why did you throw rocks?" "They started it." "They're supposed to ask the crowd to disperse   before pushing their way in." "The police is practicing military strategy." "That's why they fall upon us." "Using force is so far out, when demonstrating against war." " Isn't she lovely?" " Yes." "I'd better go." "No, wait a minute." "It suits him." "He could get into the Police Academy." " Keep it." " No." "I don't want it." "The coast is clear." " Are you coming?" " You'd better take this." " Haven't you smoked before?" " What?" "Yes, I ..." " You can't come through here." " A lady is waiting for me." "I need to get to the Chinese restaurant." " Get moving." " Let me tell you something." "Ouch!" "What the hell are you doing?" "I'm here to get spring rolls." "You have no right to stop me." "You're going to get spring rolls?" "It's 06.27." "You are under arrest." "Under arrest?" "Have you completely lost your mind?" "Easy now, sir." "Hello." "Telephone from your husband." "Your husband's on the phone." "There!" "Let's get this misunderstanding cleared up." " I was at the movies." " But you don't have the tickets." "No, I don't have the tickets." "I don't collect stuff like that." " Which movie did you see?" " 'I love you, I love you'." "That's the title." "A film by Alain Resnais." "Happy now?" " Do you recognize this gentleman?" " Should I?" "He has a careless way with his shaver." "Right?" " He's got a beard." " Like you." " How amusing." " We believe it's you in the picture." " If you say so." "Can I leave now?" " Do you know where it's from?" "The demonstration in front of the American Embassy." "This person was the one who encouraged the violent acts." " You don't think that I ..." " Yes, that's exactly what we think." " I wasn't in the demonstration." " And not in the one tonight." " This is just pure Scherfig." " The communist." "He's a writer." "In his novel a senior master gets arrested   because he's taken his wife's bike, when going for breakfast rolls." "Ida." "Please explain that I am not Rudi Dutschke!" "Isn't this house lopsided?" "The only thing lopsided is you." "He's no good at smoking dope." "Are you crazy?" "My parents are asleep." " Are you getting sick?" " No, no." "I ..." "Better now?" "Good." "You're not leaving, are you?" "Sit down." "I'm glad you were there today." "Robert can be so silly." "It's okay." " What about Robert?" " He doesn't care." "But he's your boyfriend." "You think too much." "Don't be so afraid of life." " Thank you so much." " Thank you, Margrethe." " It was just wonderful." " Hey!" "How about me?" "She is so amenable." "It's like travelling with a girlfriend." "We're moving back to Copenhagen." "Lily's tired of Aalborg." "If he wants to keep me up there, he'll have to buy the Hasseris-house." " What house is that?" " It's simply adorable." " It can't be that expensive." " Tell that to Viggo." "God!" "We have to get going, if we are to catch the ferry." " Lend them money for the house." " D'you know what the vacation cost?" " I can't extend their credit." " I don't care." " They must stay in Aalborg." " Are you coming?" "Yes." "We're coming, sweetheart." "It's lovely here." "It's certainly better than the clink at Station 2." "Oh, my goulash!" "We're not having spring rolls?" " Cheers and thank you." " I didn't do much." " It was like talking to a wall." " And they took away my shoe laces." "When did they realize you weren't the one?" "When the man in the picture was arrested and held at Headquarters." "I got an answer to my application." " I got the position." " You did?" " You said you didn't have a chance." " My reputation preceded me." "I scored many points because I had been arrested." "They think you are a great Vietnam activist." "Ah well." "A little revolutionary lives in all of us." "Come." "Would you like to see the rest of the house?" "But some of the participants in the demonstration   wanted to support the symbolism with certain forms of missiles." " A long day, my dear." " Yes ..." "How did it go?" "Fine." " West Germany's in place." " Congratulations." "How fortunate that Mr. Huberman turned out to be a lodge member." " Did you give him a tour?" " Yes, he was very impressed." "I know someone, who'll be pleased." "Henrik." "Call tomorrow and tell him that everything is fine." "It will do him good to think through the consequences of his deeds." " Kaj Holger, he's 15." " It's about time he matured." "You already has his future laid out?" "Wasn't it enough with Erik?" "Henrik is made from a completely different fabric." "Subtitles:" "Tina Goldberg Dansk Video Tekst"
