"Come on!" "Ole!" "See you." "Poul, dinner's ready." "Ole and Mette!" "There you are." "Mette, pass this to dad." ""New birch leaves in the groves, new grass in the meadows and sprouting seeds in the fields." "It was a mountainous country, but an open and light valley stretched through it, and other valleys extended from it, some narrow, others wide." "I'll compare this country to a leaf, Niels Holgersen thought." "It's green like a leaf, and the valleys branch off... almost like the ribs on a leaf blade. "" "Stop it, Jens." " That's it." " My ass!" "That branch hit my buttocks." "Breaking off branches isn't allowed." "You're not allowed to be here." "It's for doctors' kids only." " Snotty brats!" " Assholes!" "Assholes!"

"Our suitcases were the only ones there." "Come here, Kresten." "Put down the suitcase." "Hello." "They wouldn't give them to us." "I protested." "I didn't have a ticket." " It was strange." " Unbelievable." "Poohtest." "I found my purse, and then I got my suitcases." "Do you have time to see where they're going to sleep?" " Where's Mette?" " She's at a scout camp." " How exciting." " She won't be back until Sunday." "We put them both in here." "We thought that would be fun." "Come, Kresten." "You're going to sleep there." "Ole's going to sleep there." "Well, I'll be off, then." "Take care, Kresten." "Have fun with Ole." " I'd better leave." " I have a parcel for Lisbeth." "I'm a lot stronger than you." "Stop it." "Stop it." "There's Ole." " What's your name?"

"... and growing..." "How about that?" "Do you like school, Kresten?" " No." " Why not?" "Because I have a song teacher and he asked... if anyone could sing "Now The Day Is Over"." "I put up my hand, and then he told me to sing it for the entire class." "That wasn't very nice." "I'll never put up my hand again." "Wait for me." "It's time to turn around." "Kresten, only the men have green light." "Do you want to play shunting engines?" "We poohtest." "We poohtest." " We poohtest." " Poohtest." "We poohtest." "Ole?" "Ole, open the door." " Open the door, Ole." " We poohtest." "Ole?" "Open the door, Ole." "Ole, open the door." "What a terrible noise." "We almost can't stand it downstairs." " What are you doing?" " We're playing." "You're not allowed to lock the door." "You know that, don't you?" ""Karlsson grew mad." "Something was making a noise, and he wanted to know what it was." "There it was again, very close." "It had to be the next door." "Karlsson had his pocket gun and his flashlight ready... and gave the door a good kick to make it open wide." "He stormed into the living room." "And what did he see?" "In the middle of the floor, a millipede was lying comfortably removing its shoes." "A large, jovial millipede which stretched all across the room." " Can I try?" " Here you go." "Have a look." "I won it in Tivoli." "Ole?" "Ole, come here." "I want to tell you something." "It's a secret." "You can't tell anyone." "Say "Cross my heart and hope to die"." " Cross my heart and hope to die." " Okay." "Where I live, there's a boy called Little Kurt." "When a bridge collapsed, he got cement in his asshole, so that he couldn't shit." "After a long, long time when his belly grew and grew, he went to the hospital and had an operation, and all of the shit came out." "There was a lot." "At least seven bowls-full." "Promise you won't tell anyone." "Say "Cross my heart and hope to die"." " Cross my heart and hope to die." " Okay." " How much shit was there?" " At least seven bowls-full." "It may be dangerous."

" That's the end of the ride." " Thank you." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." " Is something wrong?" " I can't find my key." "Don't you have it?" "No, I can't find it." "It's supposed to be here." "It isn't under the door mat?" "Or in your pocket?" " Is it you, Marianne?" " Yes." "Goodnight." "You forgot your keys, Marianne." "I make them up in bundles of 100 and sell them to stamp dealers... who put them up for auction abroad." "And I have some friends abroad whom I send them to, and when they have first editions, they send me the stamps which I sell to my friends at home." "It's pure business." " Who wants to play icing?" " I do." "I'm done in a minute." " Ulrik, do you want to play icing?" " I'm playing noughts and crosses." " It's us against the riff-raff." " Are you calling me riff-raff?" " What are we using for bats?" " French grammar hits the best." " Ready?" " Come on." "Come on!" "Lisbeth." "Hi." "They must be nervous for that guy who has to kick." "And then he'll fall." " Hello."

"I hadn't seen him before." "Not at school, either." "Then he asked me if I wanted to go to a party." "At first I said: "I don't know. "" "Lisbeth laughed at me and said I should do it." " And I thought: "It might be fun. "" " I know him." "We play soccer." "Each time he sees a bird, he runs off to see which kind it is." "Then he comes back and tells us that it was a robin or a sparrow." " He knows everything about birds." " It was terrible." "He just kept holding my hand and I couldn't get away from him." "My hand was all clammy." "It was lucky I came to your rescue, then." "He's nice, but my hands just became so clammy." "Yes?" "Marianne, have you bought on credit at the book store?" " You said I could." " You can, but just let me know." " But you said I could." " You can, if you just tell me." "I will." "Well..." "Are you in Marianne's class?" "No, I'm in the next class." "I'm a science student." "Circles of the same size have centres of the same size." "He's such an old fool." "Why does he talk nonsense like that?" "He's such an old fool." "Lisbeth!" " Isn't Marianne in school?" " No, she's ill." "I see." " Hi." " Are you really ill?" " I thought you were shirking." " My throat is a bit sore." "Well, I'll be off, then." " You can come in for a minute." " Okay." " You can hang your coat there." " Yes." " You're just shirking." " My throat is a bit sore." "Beep." "Here you go." "It must be his bicycle." "Isn't it a school night?" "The scarf is behind you." "Try to look ill." " Good evening." " Good evening." "Well..." " How are you feeling?" " Well, thank you." "Did you have fun?" "It was nice." " Was the food good?" " It was fine." "It really was." " You don't sound impressed." " No, it was fine." "It really was." " Was Ole Henning there?" " He wasn't there." "Well..." "What was I about to say?" "A trouser button was found in Poland, but it probably wasn't his." "Well..." "You didn't get it?" "Oh yes, I'm missing a trouser button." "Okay, the penny dropped." " That's good." " Okay." " Ole!" "Marianne wants to talk to you." " Now?" "Yes, she's in the park." "It's very important." "I promised to get you." "Marianne!" "Lisbeth said you wanted to talk to me." "Lisbeth said you wanted to talk to me." "My mum found your trouser button in my bed." " Does it matter?" " Don't you realize what's happened?" " My dad will be in a state." " Your dad?" "He's not such an old fool as you think." "Listen, Marianne, this is silly." "That trouser button could have ended up in your bed in all sorts of ways." "That's what I said." "That I didn't know where it came from, and it wasn't what she thought." "Marianne, your mum was just grumpy in the morning." "What do you want me to do?" "Can I come home with you?" "Do you know what I can do?" "I can come home with you and ask if anybody's found a trouser button." "And I can offer a reward, too." " Very funny." " Yes, I think so, too." " I'll take care of it myself." " Where are you going?" " To school." "I can't stand here." " Your mum was just grumpy." " Okay, my mum was grumpy." " It'll pass." "You're just exaggerating it." "She'll get over it." "Hi." " Is anyone in the living room?" " Yes, my mum." "Hello." "Hello, Ole." " Has something happened?" " Nothing." " She hasn't said anything?" " No." "That's what I said." "You're over exaggerating." "Are you mad?" " Don't you want to sit over here?" " No." " Why not?" " Because I don't." "You just touch me all the time." "We don't have anything to talk about." " I don't think that's true." " Well, I do." "If you think so, I think we should break up." "Do you want to break up?" "I guess." "I'll be off, then." "Goodbye." "Excuse me?" "Yes, I'd like to." "Goodnight." "I've had a pleasant time." "Goodnight." "You have to be quiet, my parents are sleeping upstairs." " Was your bicycle in the driveway?" " Yes." "That was a stupid place to put it." "Yes." " Where have you been?" " To the cinema." "Did you have fun?" "Did you learn anything about birds?" "I think he's nice." "I think this is a misunderstanding." "I think it's a load of shit." "I feel like hell." "I do, Marianne." "What is it?" "What is it, Marianne?" "What is it, Marianne?" " Don't cry." " It's just..." "It's either him or me." "Please don't." "Please don't." "Come on." "So that's why." "I'll have to start on that." "Yes, he's often in the paper." "On the front page." "We're identical twins." "What are your names?" "We won't tell you." "Ulla and I won't tell you." "So your name is Ulla?" " Is your name Ulla?" " Maybe." " Is your name Ulla?" "How old are you?" " Old enough." " What's your name?" " Merethe." "I'm Ole." "This is my old friend Victor." "Nowadays they get mad if you don't ask their age." " What do you do?" " You're welcome to ask." " What should we guess at?" " We have the same job." "I hate being grilled." "Let's guess." "Is it animal, vegetable or mineral or a concept?" " Then you answer yes or no." " It's not a concept." " It's not vegetable." " It must be animal, then." " It's a zoo." " No." " Do you ride bicycles?" " No." " Do you scoot?" " No, try asking sensible questions." " Do you often work at night?" " Yes." " So you're waitresses?" " No." "Too bad." "Stewardesses or messenger boys?" " Messenger girls." " We never have been." " It doesn't matter what you do." " Doesn't it matter?" "Is this a job centre?" "We go to a school where we work, too, and it's girls only." "That makes it hard." "If they go to a school where they work, too, it must be a school of home economics." "Would you like a tip?" "We wear small hats." "Then you wear blue dresses, white aprons and white socks, too?" " You look at people who lie down?" " Yes." " People who aren't feeling well?" " Yes." " Say it, Victor." " Are you student nurses?" "We love them." "I'll never get up there." "I'll show you." "Hold this." "Do you need a push?" "Yes, push, push." "Hey, your beer." " Ole, don't you want your beer?" " Take it easy." " Do you need a push?" " No." "Wait for me, Ole." "Ouch." "What the hell is this?" "I don't know where we are." "What's this?" "Let's have a look." "Hello, Marie." "Where the hell are they?" " Goodnight, Marie." "Take care." " She was nice." " Victor, take the back stairs." " What?" " Take the back stairs." " What?" "The back stairs." "It's hard." "Aren't we good enough for the front stairs?" " Good evening." " Good evening." "Hurry up." "Damn it!" "Be quiet." "What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at?" "What's this?" " Yes." " It's really nice." " I have some rum and coke." " That's great." " I have some beer." " You have a lot." "We can have a party, then." "That light is really cosy." " I'll help Merethe carry the beer." " What a great idea." "Say hi." "Do you need help?" "This is nice." "I thought I'd help you get the beer." " Are you comfortable?" " Let's sit down and have a beer." " It'll give the others a chance." " To what?" "To be alone." "They're madly in love." "Can't you tell?" " Are you comfortable?" " Not really." "Wait and see." "This is how we help the old and the ill." " Wasn't that better?" " That was better." "Can't you raise my feet, too?" " Do you always wear shoes in bed?" " No, that isn't very nice." "You take up too much room." "Don't you want to lie beside me?" "Come on, there's room for you, too." "To make it cosy." "What now?" "Can we be bothered?" "Hi." "Hi, Victor." " Hi." "Are you having fun?" " Can't you tell?" "Yes, it looks very cosy." " Where's the beer?" " We drank them." " Are you having fun?" " You bet." "We're having so much fun that Ulla wants to go to sleep." " Too bad." " Yes, too bad." " Ole, can I borrow something?" " Sure." "What is it?" " Have fun." " Say hi to Ulla." " What was that?" " What was it?" "Yes, what was that?" "Do you have more?" " I'm visiting someone." " That's not allowed." " Come on." "Where are you going?" " To get my coat." "Stop that." "I need my coat." " Come with me now." " Yes." "You know very well that visits aren't allowed." " Aren't visits allowed?" " You know very well." " Will she come in here?" " She doesn't dare." " What about Ulla?" " She never goes to the rooms." " What about Ulla?" " She'll be fine." "Don't you want to take your coat off?" "Are you sure she won't come?" "She doesn't dare." "Are you sure you can be bothered?" "No!" "Goodnight." "Hey!" "Come back!" "Come here immediately!" "Ole?" "Ole, I'm going out for a minute." "Don't go anywhere." " No." " Aunt Ingeborg is coming soon." "Do you want to play couple?" "Take off your pull over." " I can't." " Take off your pull over, too." "It's your dad." "Lis?" "Ole?" "Ole!" "Lis?" "Anybody in there?" "Ole?" "Ole?" "Open the door." "Open the door!" "Ole!" "How many times have I told you not to lock the door?" "You're not allowed to lock the doors." "Is that understood?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "You must come some other time." "Ole, you have to stop locking the doors." " Mum!" " Kresten." "How are you?" " We've had lots of fun." " Are you here to get that fellow?" "We have to catch the 10.30 train." "Have you packed everything?" "I think I'll run to town with you." "We'll take Ole, too." " Are you ready?" " Come on, Ole." "You go on, Ingeborg." "Ole just has to put on his raincoat." "Come on, Ole." "Come on." "We have to hurry up." "I'll take care of that, Lis." "You go on." "Put on your wellingtons." "Ole!" "Isn't he coming?" "Where's your wellington boot?" "Isn't it in the wardrobe?" "Did you look upstairs?" "Did you look in your room?" "Hurry up." "He can't find his wellington boot." "Poul, isn't he coming?" "Did you find it?" "Where is it?" "Did you lose it?" "Just go on, Lis." "Otherwise, you'll miss it." "Ole..." "I have to leave now." "You don't mind, do you?" " No." " Mum will be home soon." "Ole?" "Try to find your wellington boot before mum gets home."
