" Right on time." " Of course." "It's all yours." "Breakfast is served." "Isn't this system awesome?" "You are awesome!" "As long as the china was wrapped in newspaper, everything was OK." "But then the eating, drinking, living and dying began." "Hello." "You sure look happy." " Ready for a surprise?" " I'm not so sure." "Stop it!" "Are you ready?" "Wow!" "How did you have time to write this?" "It's all thanks to you, Dag." "It's about the war, as you know." "I wove together the story of the war in Norway   with my own breakdown as an author." "That sound like a lot." "The invasion is my diagnosis, the occupation my illness." "And the liberation, a metaphor for my own liberation." "It's my best work yet." "I'll bet." "And in Norwegian this time, no less." "As a serious author, I am whatever the story requires me to be." "Insane!" "I'm perfectly healthy and very happy." "You know what they say, Dag?" "You can take the woman out of the war, but not the warrior out of the woman." "My next book is about Joan of Arc." "Refill all the fire extinguishers before you start." "There." "Here you go." " Do you want that slice there?" " Yeah." "You're going to stay with me every other week, in my new apartment." "And you'll get your own room." "With a bunk bed that will be like a lookout tower." "You'll see the whole world from there." "And we'll have boys' night every time you come visit." "With a Super Mario tournament." "And I'm going to beat you." "I am too!" " I'm gonna beat you!" " Not a chance." "I'm the world champion." "You betcha." "Hello there." "Have a seat." " So, are things better?" " Than what?" "I guess not." "We have tried." "Have you set aside time to talk every day, like we discussed?" "When we've had the time." "But there always seems to be food to cook, homework to do,   a child who wakes up, or something else." "Laundry, bills..." "Things we cant do while they're awake." "So you'll discuss saving your relationship if you can find the time?" "That's like serving a child's favorite food at his funeral." "Would you help your children most by communicating,   or breaking up but leaving a clean house behind?" "We have tried." "It's just real hard." " Life is hard." " Wrong." "Life is impossible!" "Yet some people stay together for 50 years!" "You never intended to only stay together for your children's sake." "Yet look at you know." "This isn't something we want." "But we are so tired." " We've run out of steam." " Listen to me." "You got lost, and you're taking it out on each other." "It's hard enough to change your own bad qualities." "Imagine trying to change someone else's!" "But you both fell in love with the person next to you." "Let that person be the same." "You're afraid to cut yourself on the pieces of your broken relationship." "Your children need you to focus on each other, not just on them." "You're making them just as miserable as you are." "Life?" "Don't mention rope in a hanged man's house." "Life is a disaster!" "It's hopeless!" "It's like asking Hellen Keller to describe a rainbow,   and telling her how beautiful it is while she cries!" "This is important to me,   because you are intelligent and resourceful." "If you can't make this work, no one stands a chance." "And right now I need to believe that this is possible." "Actually..." "We have decided to separate." "I just did my best." "Hey, it isn't you." "It's us." " Don't be sad." "It's us." " Sad?" "Me?" "Sad?" " Malin, do you still have that Luger?" " You bet." "Bring it in." "I need to kill my patients!" "Time to go." "Thanks." "You'll protect her, but won't save your relationship?" "Do you think marriage is a game?" "Do you think kids are some hobby to fill your empty lives?" "Do you think kids are some hobby to fill your empty lives?" "I'm sorry." " Were you really going to shoot them?" " No." "But I did imagine it quite vividly for a second." "Now they have something to talk about." "And a mutual enemy." " Dag, you are very considerate." " Thank you." " All well with you?" " Yes." " About like you." " Really?" "Great." "I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." "May you respect and follow each other until death do you part." " Or..." "Yes." "Good luck." " Thank you." "Hello, my wife." "I know." "You told me the first night we met." "But you were high on morphine at the time." "You are so beautiful." "The world isn't fair." "Sometimes I think I'm not as afraid to die   as I am afraid of not mattering to the world." "Death is so damned ordinary." "It happens all the time." "If I die tomorrow, the buses will keep running, the birds will keep singing." "As if I never existed." "But you..." "You have someone you will continue living through." "In addition to me." "It's difficult not to turn that into something selfish." "It's one of the few things in life you have to do all by yourself." "But I'm here with you all the way." "If you'll let me." "Me?" "I am fine." "I just feel a little empty." "I have lived such a full life that nothing is a mystery anymore." "Do you remember, when you were a child,   there was an adventure waiting around every turn." "Or in some old, deserted house." "Or simply by holding a hand." "For the first time." "You are my selfishness." "And I let myself fall in love with you." "And knowing that you are dying   makes me feel more alive than I have felt in 30 years." "I'm not so sure you would have liked me back then." "Don't say that." "If once in your life you deserve to feel worth loving,   this is the time." "I love you." "Hi." "Hi." "How are you doing?" "God, you're beautiful!" "You look lovely in that wedding dress." "I just wanted to congratulate you." "I won't stay." "I need to..." "I have a slightly confused female passenger   waiting in the hall who needs a lift somewhere." "OK." "Thank you." "You're a lucky man." "And so are you." "Cheers." "You are also a good man." "You've just made some bad choices." "I got what you said last time." "Enough is enough." "There aren't many like you." "Goodbye." "Ernst?" "I should have told you this ages ago." "I love you, dad." "I love you too, Benedikt." "Very much." " Benedikt Skovrand?" " Yes." "I've already returned my son." "We've cleared that up,   visitations and all." " I know nothing about that." " OK?" "Do you recognize her?" "Yes." "My boss' daughter." "You bought her new breasts." "When she was 15." " No, 17." " 15." "And you had sex with her." "She was 17." "She told me." "Dammit!" "She told me she was 17 and visiting her dad at work." " Is that some sort of excuse?" " No, but..." "I'm trying to become a better man here." "I..." " You need to come with us." " No, please." "She was..." "Go in to Ernst." "I'm sorry." "Dammit!" "BLÜCHER One Woman's Downfall" " That's..." " You like it?" "Like it?" "You look amazing." "I feel like a bum in comparison." " A very nice little bum." " "Little" might be an understatement." "You're about to get bigger." "Sit down." " You know it isn't my birthday?" " Oh, yes." "What?" "Has something happened?" "No, not at all." "You look concerned." "Sit down." "Let's eat while it's warm." "Dag..." "Dag Refsnes..." "Will you marry me?" "If you're fucking with me, I'll see to it you end up at a women's shelter." "I'm not fucking with you." "You're crazy, you know that?" " Is that a yes?" " Yes, that is a yes." "I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "Where is your ring?" "In the bedroom." "If you said no, I only wanted one ring here." "Run and get it." " Run!" " I'm running." " Here it is." " Hang on." "If you start, I'll start." "So let's get married." "Let's eat first." "So..." "You can come out now, Leon." "He said yes." " Want to see it?" " Nice!" "Hi." "Who should I make it out to?" "MECCA" "The world." "I locked the door."
