"What time is it?" "Out!" "Out, pervert!" "Are you retarded?" "!" "?" "Get the hell out!" "What's wrong with you, barging into my room?" "!" "?" "Your room?" "We share this room!" "Get out!" "I didn't do anything!" "What's going on here?" "Can you help me here?" "!" "?" "I'm 14, get someone older to stroke your penis!" "Relax!" "Relax, both of you!" "I had no..." "Say, can I get my glasses?" "Do you know how old I am?" "Pervert!" "Call the cops!" "Stay in there!" "Someone has slept in my bed said the Baby Bear, and she's still there!" "What's going on here?" "!" "?" "Uh-oh." "CHAPTER 2:" "PURPOSEFUL ACTIVITIES" "It's sexual harassment!" "Listen to me, Eygló..." "Breathe deeply..." "Aren't you calling the cops?" "Help me out here." "What?" "Look into the mirror." "Look into your own eyes." "What's with you and all these stupid mirrors?" "Concentrate on the mirror." "I am Margeir Orri Einarsson." "I am healthy and well-balanced." "Nononono!" "Easy, Margeir." "It'll be alright." "What did I do?" "Eygló stopped by." "Unfortunately." "I'm worthless!" "What happened?" "Are you stressed about the trip?" "Or perhaps your birthday?" "We'll have to reconsider going on this trip today." "Huh?" "No." "No no no..." "This was just a small accident." "Maybe you forgot to lock the door?" "No, it is locked." "But I'm all better now." "Remember how stressed I was when you took me to that trip to your friend's summer house?" "I was all better the moment I got there." "I want to go!" "Are you sure?" "Then put on something decent and we'll get going." "It's just so unfair!" "There's nothing to do here." "I know." "I'll just go with you next year." "It'll be awesome." "I have to go now." "Talk to you later." "What?" "Did you forget the rules?" "Never be alone among the inmates." "I had to call Úa to tell her I couldn't come with." "That changes nothing." "I must be able to trust you." "Come on." "Today is a big day." "I'd love for you to help out." "Must I?" "Not if you don't want to, but I'd really appreciate it." "Ask of the steel, each strut and wire," "Ask of the searching, purging fire," "That marked their natal hour." "Ask of the mind, the hand, the heart," "Ask of each single, stalwart part, What gave it force and power." "Well, Karl Magnús, everyone else is ready." "Huh, what is..." "Is it now?" "Yes, we're all getting ready to set off." "Lúðvíík, have you heard from your friend in Paris?" "No, he's been away on summer holiday." "He must be careful." "Oh?" "I have new clues about where the codex may be found." "You mean the Archimedes Palimpsest?" "The Catholics hid it in a library in the 3rd district on Louis the 14th street." "I'll take that." "You can trust Álfheiður." "This affair is not for kids," "I don't want for more people to get involved." "What are you doing?" "Are you an artist?" "No, but mathematics is the greatest artform of all." "This address, 3.14, that's Pi, right?" "That's a gross simplification, Lúðvíík." "Pi has been calculated up to 1.011.922.721 decimals." "Although only the first 216 are of any relevance." "After the weekend, you and I can go on a trip together, fishing and such, doesn't that sound great?" "Yipee." "Aren't you coming with, Rúnar?" "Everything's out of place out there." "I need peace, I need to be alone." "I'll come later and help you, Rúnar!" "Well Hulda, another glorious day is upon us!" "Excuse me... who are you?" "They're wrecking the lives of the children..." "Bankers... political pawns of the plutocracy..." "Excuse me..." "Take and take..." "Are you talking about the Independence Party?" "Ignore Nostradamus there." "Nostradamus?" "She claims that she can see the future." "Seizure of property..." "Phone and mail services." "Birds of prey taking all of our belongings..." "Privatizations..." "What is being privatized?" "Who are doing the privatizing?" "The Independence Party?" "All they leave behind is scorched earth." "The nation left chained in massive debts." "Who are they, who told you this?" "They unleash the titans, rob the banks from the inside..." "The livelihood..." "of weeping mothers... and lost children..." "No jobs to be had." "Goddamn criminals!" "I know their handywork!" "I'm sorry, what's your name?" "My name is Einar." "We must be careful, they're watching us." "You can also see these things?" "I've been trying to tell people about this." "I've called influential people, but nobody will listen to me." "I'm Odda." "Alright, everybody!" "Are you ready?" "Our adventure begins!" "Are you ready?" "Our adventure begins!" "Once upon a time, you forgot to say that." "Got a cigarette?" "Loads of them, Baldur." "Aren't you joining us, Heiðar?" "No, I don't have the time." "Presidential invitation." "My my." "Say hello from us." "Stop that." "No." "Why is Ástrún in a wheelchair?" "You were going to tell me." "I'll tell you when you're older." "It's too terrible for a child to know." "It's a small miracle that she's here with us." "You have to focus on the positive things." "Come now!" "Isn't this wonderful?" "Well everyone, here are tents that we can pitch up." "There are 3-4 of you for each tent, so let's team up and try to set the tents up as level as possible." "Am I not right, Karl Magnús?" "You don't have to tell me." "Exactly, our educated engineer knows what he's talking about." "Remember, we're going to have fun this holiday weekend." "Rúnar!" "Álfheiður, where are you going?" "Inside." "Will you be long?" "Just remember the rules." "Tell me, o Fortune, I ask of thee." "With gold I shall gladden you, with silver I shall soothe..." "Margeir!" "Weren't you going to throw that thing away?" "Yes, but I found another..." "We've talked about this, it has a bad effect upon you." "I was just using it..." "No wonder you're having relapses, you're going against what I've instructed you." "I didn't mean to..." "I'm sorry." "Put on a jacket or something." "I'll be in the lobby." "This will be fun, Torfi..." "I'll take that." "Sure." "You hold on to that, Torfi." "I'm Margeir Orri Einarsson." "I am healthy and well-balanced." "What are you doing in the ladies' room?" "Are you OK?" "Yeah, aren't you OK?" "Yesss..." "Do you have a hairband?" "No..." "What's your name?" "Eygló." "What are you doing here?" "I'm in the bathroom." "Are you stupid or something?" "Do you know a man named Margeir?" "He's a guy that lives here." "I was wondering if you knew him." "Is he cute?" "Then I don't know him." "I need a good pair of scissors!" "What do you need them for?" "This top is driving me mad!" "Don't tease each other, it's not nice." "There there now, aren't we all working together?" "Let me see that Búi..." "All frozen, are we?" "One finger at a time?" "Let go now." "There we go." "He's totally frozen today." "Lúðvíík!" "Yeah!" "We can't pitch this tent, he's ruined the pylons!" "We'll work that out somehow." "We'll have to re-heat it to set it straight again." "No, NO!" "Baldur, put him down!" "It's gonna blow!" "I'll take that." "What will explode?" "His head." "Here's your helmet, nothing's gonna explode." "Thursday, July 30th, 1992." "Eygló reappeared." "Symptoms and behavior as before, temper tantrum and shouting obscenities." "Note:" "Review Atli Viðar's data on patient Elín Ragna when she was committed up north in '75." "Check for matching speech patterns and vocabulary." "There we go." "All set now?" "You just keep playing with that, Baldur." "Toggi, I have a small job for you." "Can you take Baldur aside while I light up the fire?" "Job?" "You're not my boss." "I'm asking you for a small favor." "He's been in that kinda mood all day." "Fascinating story." "The next time you tell it, remind me to press REC and PLAY, OK?" "Toggi..." "You're so helping me out here!" "Someone's stolen all my make-up!" "Ew." "I look like I've been rotting here." "How long have you been here?" "3 months." "The jerks over at Núpur had me sent here!" "I'm never allowed to do what I want!" "I know." "How old are you?" "14." "Oh my god!" "I love this song!" "Álfheiður Björk, I love you..." "It's a cool song!" "I know!" "Isn't your name Álfheiður?" "Yes!" "Tell me that you're mine, for all time, Álfheiður Björk." "Do not let this loser, drunkard and boozer smother you." "Got a cigarette?" "Cigarette, you say?" "What do we have here?" "Cigarette." "Listen, I have a small deal for you." "You dig a hole for me, and you get a cigarette." "Cigarette." "You have to dig first." "Food is here!" "Line up for some hot dogs!" "No, Lúðvíík." "In China, you pay your doctor when you're healthy." "But you don't pay if you get sick, because then the doctor isn't doing his job." "But we don't have healthcare here, we have sickcare..." "Everybody sexy here?" "Can I help you?" "I was told to find Lúðvíík." "I'm Lúðvíík." "I'm here to visit my brother." "Your brother?" "Yes, Baldur Hermannsson." "Yes, right." "Just step inside for a moment," "I'll go get him." "Thanks." "Toggi!" "Right, I'm coming." "Where's Baldur?" "Baldur?" "The Blob." "Oh." "Uhh..." "I just popped away for a moment." "Baldur?" "Come with me, friend." "Your brother is here." "Got a cigarette?" "So, Baldur..." "Mother is dead." "She went two days ago." "It happened while she slept." "She didn't suffer." "Fucking cancer." "Got... got a cigarette?" "Me and your sister lngibjörg have been talking about how to divide her estate." "What to do with your share." "We were thinking about your boys..." "So me and lngibjörg would take our shares and your share would be divided between your sons." "Aren't you OK with that?" "Cigarette." "I brought you some beers, and cigarettes." "Is that seat taken?" "No, this is the staff table, go sit with the others." "Am I not a free man?" "I cannot sit where I want to?" "These are the rules." "I never approved those rules." "Are they in the Constitution?" "Is Apartheid in effect here?" "I just want to sit by a table, like an adult person, not on a rug like some child." "Are you gonna be trouble?" "I can't wait." "Are you ready?" "This is awesome!" "It's my first perm." "Are you OK?" "Álfheiður..." "What are you doing?" "Oh no..." "Food's ready." "I'll be there later." "We're eating now." "Come on." "See you later." "Won't you be coming to eat too, Margeir?" "We have hot dogs and hamburgers." "Huh?" "Yeah." "Cool." "I like your hair." "Why?" "Why what?" "Why do you act this way?" "We've gone over the rules." "I can take care of myself!" "You're 14 years old!" "One with the ketchup and mustard on top, just like Kissinger." "Thanks." "What can I get you, honey?" "A separation policy, can you imagine that?" "It's used to suppress people." "To control them." "It comes from the Netherlands, and is used a lot in Africa but it's also used in work places and in hospitals and I'd like to change that..." "Is there free room here?" "Say, we were talking about something, maybe you can help?" "Sure." "Who decided that smoking is only allowed once an hour?" "We're all adults here, could you explain this to me?" "I'm guessing that it's to stop people from smoking too much." "This isn't the cancer ward, it's the psychiatric ward." "If this was the orthopedic ward, I could smoke all I wanted." "If you want to change this, you'll have to talk to Torfi, give a good reason to ease the restriction." "Einar claims that we have many rights we're not told of." "Legal rights." "Too much drugs..." "Good point, Odda." "Your first and only response seems to be pumping people full of drugs." "The healthcare system is to make itself redundant, but you are trying to prolong the problem." "I agree with you guys, drugs are no solution." "There are so many other options, like exercise..." "The dosage sizes are also dangerous." "I get such terrible shakes." "I keep mentioning this, but I keep getting the same medication over and over." "I don't feel any better." "I've completely blown it!" "Maybe it's just the new drugs." "Oh, they're working, it's just..." "I've been stupid!" "Stop that!" "Let's not tear ourselves down." "We have a long weekend ahead, let's use it to relax and revise your medication dosages." "Eygló?" "No, that's not me." "That's just the disease." "Your hair is really nice." "Do you need any help?" "Lúðvíík!" "I didn't object to your daughter being here, but I don't like her hanging around Margeir!" "Am I clear?" "Yup." "I'm not happy with this." "Right." "What?" "Nothing." "I'll take care of it." "Cocoa?" "What's the deal with Margeir?" "You must leave him alone." "Yeah, but I..." "Do you understand?" "Thanks." "I put a little extra in it." "I can't control her." "I don't understand her." "I don't know what's going on." "She's becoming a woman." "Is there a free spot here?" "Sure." "Have a seat." "How are you, Heiðar?" "How was the president?" "She was good." "Is there any food left?" "I don't think so." "Didn't they serve anything at the President's place?" "Just a small buffet table." "That won't fill your belly." "Lúðvíík." "I think they're acting up." "They never do as we say!" "And we're the majority here!" "What is our say in all of this?" "None!" "None whatsoever!" "Isn't everybody sexy?" "No!" "OK then." "OK?" "You people decide when we can smoke, eat, go outside, take a bath, take a shit, have sex, everything!" "We don't get to decide on anything!" "Do you know why?" "Because if we're allowed to decide on anything, we can't be controlled!" "That's enough!" "Back to your rooms!" "Now!" "It's over." "I protest!" "Stop this nonsense Einar, it's over!" "You've ruined it for everybody else." "Let me go!" "I'm taking Álfheiður inside." "So Einar..." "what's troubling you?" "I just want to be treated like the adult that I am!" "Aren't we doing that?" "Raise your hands up!" "Guys!" "It's the new guy!" "Madness?" "It's an estimate of an intangible object." "Can you measure how much I'm insane?" "!" "?" "Can you prove it with a blood sample?" "!" "?" "Getting excited won't solve anything around here." "It's time we got our rights!" "By Icelandic law!" "By the United Nations charter!" "Are you with me!" "?" "!" "Hadn't we talked about acting like civilized people?" "What will you do if I disobey?" "!" "?" "Lock me up?" "Relax, Toggi." "We're just talking here." "Let me go!" "Let me go, I say!" "You're next!" "Wake up people!" "Wake up!" "It's unnecessary to treat the man so harshly." "Help me!" "Freedom of speech!" "This is none of your business!" "To your rooms!" "Right now!" "My time will.."
