"Good morning, Rebecca." "Good morning." "We've got a busy day today." "Anything useful in the obituaries?" "Well." "This one refuses to admit that he's dead." "I spent all night talking to him." "He insisted on going to work." "What does he do?" "He works at a law firm." "Then I guess he'll still have to be a stiff in a suit!" "No, we need to talk to him." "We can't have him sucking the life out of innocent people." "Right." "There's no reason to cry." "Your husband is fine." "I miss him so much." "He misses you too." "But now he's in Summerland starting a new life." "I'm just so worried about him." "What are you worried about?" "He was just so reserved." "I can't imagine that he's happy there." "People change once they arrive in Summerland." "He has already made lots of new friends." "There you go, he's smiling right now." "Mom?" "There is a man here who wants to talk to you." "Does he have an appointment?" "No." "The hat, darling." "Hi." "Hi, darling." "I just picked up some new customers." "That's great." "This just came in the mail." "Oh." "Is it serious?" "No, just some tax assessment." "Who was the man that just left, the injured one?" "He was from the road administration." "He had some trouble with the elves in Greystone." "Oh?" "Did the elves beat him up?" "No." "Elves don't do that." "They don't want any construction on their land, so they fiddled with the brakes on his car." "See you later." "Are our elves friendly?" "Yes, very friendly." "They're not like the elves in Greystone?" "They're friendly too." "But if someone does something they're not happy about, they can get extremely angry." "Mom, I'm freezing." "Go inside then." "You're never properly dressed." "Aren't you going to say goodbye?" "Bye." "FORCED AUCTION" "Oh, Fernando...." "What?" "What?" "Yes?" "You said Fernando." "I'm sorry, I got carried away." "We've been married 15 years and you still call me Fernando?" "But that is you, darling." "I don't know who I was in a past life." "We're in the 21st century now and your husband's name is Oskar!" "I was married to Fernando for 60 years." "No wonder I mix you up." "But why does it only happen when we're making love?" "Don't worry, you're both just as good in bed." "Come on." "Don't make such a big deal out of this." "Lara, this is just getting really annoying." "Is something else bothering you?" "Tell me..." "No." "Good night, darling." "Damn." "Dad." "What's up, Asdis?" "I have to get paid, I can't go on working without a salary." "Asdis." "We are trying to get this company running, as a family, and you have to do your part." "I have no money, I can't do anything." "Do you want to borrow the car?" "The ghost bus?" "Yes, go ride around, check out the guys." "You must be joking?" "He's completely crazy." "Super." "Hi." "Is this your boat?" "Yes." "Let it sail." "You seem to be drying up over here." "There you go." "Oh, you are looking lovely today." "There you go." "They've put the road works by Greystone on hold." "Because of the accident?" "The road administration won't take part in this." "The Mayor was on the radio today." "He said this had nothing to do with the elves." "What a joker." "Don't they want to relocate?" "Why should they?" "Change of scenery maybe." "Go to the countryside." "Relax a bit." "Maybe go abroad..." "Abroad?" "What are you talking about?" "Aren't there elves abroad?" "In Europe and Germany..." "Right, Oskar, you should just invite them to Mallorca." "I'll go, too." "Yeah!" "Let's all go together, and you're paying." "Good evening." "Evening." "Take a seat." "Thank you." "Floki, you should be in bed." "I want to watch." "This isn't for kids." "Go to bed." "Good evening." "Hi." "How much is it?" "Fifteen hundred." "Isn't this a good show?" "Manifestations and ectoplasm, the whole lot?" "Not quite..." "What kind of a camera is this?" "It's a Canon." "Are you from Disbelief?" "Yes, as a matter of fact..." "Right, get out." "We don't want any disbelievers here." "Isn't this an open event?" "Can't anyone attend?" "I know what you're up to." "I've seen your website." "Can't he attend the meeting?" "No, he ruins the energy." "Bullshit!" "You just don't want the world to see your fake mediums and charlatans." "Get out, boy." "Out!" "Getting violent on me, are you?" "Yes, that's it." "You're going to regret this." "Whatever." "Damn new-age scum." "Right." "We feel the Earth's energy." "Feel it flow up through us." "Connecting us to the cosmic energy." "We surround ourselves with the healing colors sending our thoughts to the highest being." "Good evening." "Who is there?" "My name is Gunnar." "Hello, Gunnar." "Hello, Gunnar." "Has it been long since you left Earth?" "I died rather young, fortunately." "It's so much better here in Summerland." "The body, for example..." "Yes, you are in Lara's body." "Lara..." "She needs to be very careful." "She should keep a close eye on her husband." "Oskar." "Yes." "Are we going bankrupt?" "Why do you think so?" "Well, are we?" "We're not bankrupt, but..." "But what?" "Business has been going through a rough patch." "And then there are the mortgages." "Because of the Ghost House?" "Yes." "We never should have gone into this tourist business." "Lara, it's all going to start rolling soon." "It's just a question of time." "We need to communicate." "Isn't that what we are doing right now?" "I just found out at a seance, from a ghost." "We're not bankrupt." "This ghost is just messing with you." "But how bad is it?" "We can work it out." "There are people who are worse off." "Don't you worry." "Just keep on doing what you do." "I'll find a way out of this." "Is Dad in trouble?" "Yes." "Can he pay me?" "Yes and no?" "Will that guy be back?" "FAKE MEDIUMS" "Isn't it strange that he came through to warn me?" "I wouldn't worry too much about it." "Ghosts can make mistakes." "Not everything we hear from Summerland is true." "Do you think he's going to work things out?" "He'll manage." "Fernando always lands on his feet." "Sometimes I doubt that Oskar really is Fernando." "If I've chosen the wrong soul and married the wrong guy." "Why didn't you just let him in?" "So he could spray the house on the inside?" "Dad, come on." "Or put videos of your mother on the Internet?" "On some site for disbelievers." "You're so paranoid." "Good day." "Good day." "Are you Oskar Oskarsson?" "That's me." "We're here because of the forced auction." "Sign here, please." "That was quick." "When will this take place?" "The ad will be in the papers next week." "We'll be in touch." "Right." "Forced auction?" "This is of course our last resort." "But if we do it, we're out of debt." "No one sells an elf stone." "What do you think mom will say?" "Do you believe in Santa Claus?" "No." "But do you believe that there are elves living in this stone?" "I don't know, Mom believes it." "Asdis, sometimes we have to make difficult decisions in life." "We have two options." "Either we lose the house or we lose the stone." "I'm not having anything to do with this." "Don't you want to get paid?" "What if something happens?" "Not so much green!" "Yes, it's good for your aura." "Were you playing outside?" "Yes, with my friend Thrand." "Who is he?" "He just moved to the neighbourhood." "He's my best friend." "Asdis, don't book any meetings tomorrow." "I'm seeing the Mayor." "Why is that?" "It's because of Greystone." "What's that?" "That?" "That's a spaceship." " Really?" "Don't you see the mirrors on it?" "There's a huge brain inside it and lots of tentacles." "On top of it are eyes that see everything in the city." "Just kidding, it's not a spaceship." "I have to go." "I'm going home." "So, tell us about the elves." "How do they see all this?" "This what?" "Do they want to live in the stone or will they move?" "You must realize that the elves have lived in the stone for centuries." "When they came to this area our town did not exist." "However, the city now owns this land." "So in fact we can do whatever we want with it." "True..." "But if you continue, you're risking the safety of this road." "Could you try talking to them for us?" "Yes, I think I could try." "When could you do that?" "I can do it now." "They're taking the stone!" "Floki!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Stay here." "Let me go!" "Don't go near, it's dangerous." "Oskar!" "Where is the stone?" "I..." "Where is it?" "Answer me." "I sold it." "They were going to auction the house." "I had to do it." "I got a very good offer and I sold it, to Germany." "To Germany?" "Oskar, what have you done?" "Are you completely mad?" "It's just a stone..." "It's not just a stone!" "It's the home of the elves." "Nothing happened when we moved it." "There are elves living in this stone and you've cursed us." "This is nonsense, Lara." "There are no elves living in this stone, or in any stone!" "Mom." "Don't you want anything to eat?" "No, I'm not hungry." "Dad ordered pizza." "Did she want dinner?" "No." "Aren't you going to talk to her?" "No, I'll let her cool down a bit." "I'll sleep on the couch." "We're not buying this explanation." "If the roundabout can't be built because of some elves, and if politicians are making elves responsible for their mistakes," "I'd rather live in Iran." "Says Disbelief's spokesman, Sverrir Thorsteinsson." "Thrand!" "All the energy is gone." "It will come back." "Just try to get some rest." "Just leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you now." "If you're looking for a cheap set, we've got this one." "1200 to 1 sharp." "Without the digital receiver." "If you're looking for a full HD set, this one has it..." "Excuse me, would you like to resign from the state church?" "Sorry." "Aren't you working at the Ghost House?" "Yes." "Fun working there?" "Fun being in Disbelief and spraying houses at night?" "That was just because of that crazy doorman." "He's my dad." "I didn't know, sorry." "What are you doing?" "We're getting people to resign from the state church or any other church." "You just give me your name and address and we take care of the rest." "That's it." "Because you pay tax and the tax goes to the church you're in." "But if you resign, the tax goes to the University." "Which we think is sort of a statement to..." "Listen, I have to go." "Good luck." "Hey, check this out." "Disbelief night, it's fun." "It would be nice seeing you there." "Thanks." "There is a woman here, with shoulders a bit hunched." "She says her name is Gudrun." "I don't know her." "No?" "She sends her regards and..." "says that your father..." "Is everything all right?" "The energy is just low..." "What's wrong with this?" "It's all plugged in." "What is this crap?" "Why won't it turn on?" "Do you have the right remote control?" "Yes, the one that came with it." "Isn't she coming downstairs?" "Lara?" "Aren't you coming?" "Everyone's waiting." "Tell them to leave." "Is everything alright?" "No, everything is not alright." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Unfortunately Lara could not be with us tonight." "So I will be leading this session." "We have been living together for a long time and I have picked up a thing or two over the years." "Let's form an energy circle." "Traitor!" "We will not have you disgrace our beliefs!" "The Earth is weak from toxic poison!" "You have nothing to say, worshippers of the existence!" "Tell me what to vote!" "Tell me what to worship to find some fucking happiness!" "This is the day of the great Disbelief!" "This is the day that we'll remember!" "Should I go talk to Sverrir?" "No!" "Does he like me?" "No!" "You must be fucking kidding me." "You don't know anything." "I am so sorry about all this." "I wish this never had to happen." "But it was either going bankrupt and be thrown into the street or accept the offer." "I'm sure that the elves are doing fine in Germany." "Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot." "I'm not..." "Yes, you are." "You don't believe that there are elves in the stone." "No." "And the seances?" "Do you think I'm faking?" "Do you think I'm a plain liar?" "I believe in ghosts and all that..." "But elves..." "That's just too much for me." "I can't believe I've been married fifteen years to a man who thinks I'm a false medium and a liar." "I never said that." "That's exactly what you're saying." "No." "Yes." "Lara, I'm not psychic." "I don't see the things that you see." "I'm just who I am and you have to accept that." "Leave me alone." "Get out." "Get out!" "Bloody hell!" "Come here!" "What's wrong with her?" "We can't answer that just yet." "She's in a coma and that's all we know." "Did you find any injuries?" "Injuries?" "A man broke into our house last night." "I chased him, but he got away." "Do you think she was attacked?" "Yes." "He's threatened us before." "Then you have to talk to the police." "There are no injuries." "Isn't she just stuck in a trance?" "Excuse me?" "She's a medium." "Sometimes she goes out of her body and dead people come and talk through her." "I see." "No, we just need some time to figure out what's going on." "Did you run into that guy from Disbelief last night?" "No." "No." "The bastard." "I'm sure he's responsible." "That he poisoned her or something." "These men are dangerous." "Let me out." "Stop the car!" "Are you going out here?" "Right now!" "Asdis!" "Dad." "Yes." "My friend Thrand has disappeared." "Really?" "Have you tried going to his house?" "I think he lived inside the stone." "If you hadn't sold the stone he would still be here, and Mom too." "Floki, Mom is sick, but she'll be back soon." "This has nothing to do with the stone." "But it has!" "Floki, listen..." "This roundabout is a very important construction." "We have decided to place the interests of our citizens above other interests in this matter..." "But where are you moving the stone?" "We have received an offer from foreign investors who are prepared to relocate the stone at their own expense." "What about the medium who was negotiating with the elves?" "Well, Lara just sold an elf stone herself, so I don't know how reliable she is." "Don't you believe in anything?" "Nothing supernatural." "Basically I don't believe in anything you can't prove." "So you don't believe in love?" "Isn't love just a chemical reaction in our brains?" "Chemicals in our brains?" "If you meet someone who has the right DNA, you can smell it." "Then dopamine and endorphin is released in your brain and everything gets worked up." "I've never heard such a complicated explanation." "Do you have a better one?" "I thought it was something that happens between the souls." "Souls?" "Yes." "And where is your soul then?" "Is it here?" "Or here maybe?" "Or maybe even here?" "We have made extensive tests on Lara and..." "This is not a brain hemorrhage or a tumor, nothing like that..." "Then what is it?" "I have to admit, I just don't know." "Forgive me, Lara..." "Forgive me." "Hi, Floki." "Floki." "It's the guy who sold the elf stone to me." "What's wrong?" "I think I saw a ghost." "A ghost?" "Well, I saw him too." "Is he still up there?" "Dad." "Sverrir is here, he would like to say something." "Hi." "Jesus!" "I wanted to apologize for spraying your house." "He was with me the night when Mom fell asleep." "He didn't do anything to her." "Whatever." "I spoke with the doctor." "Your mother is going to be at the hospital a bit longer." "What's wrong with her?" "They don't know." "Will she wake up again?" "I'm starting to think this has something to do with the stone." "The stone?" "All this happened after we sold it." "Are you saying you believe in elves now?" "I'm just trying to find an explanation." "People don't just fall asleep and not wake up again." "It's just not normal." "We have to get the stone back." "That's not possible." "The gays won't give it back." "I've found a medium." "He's coming by later to talk to the elves for us." "Asdis, what are you thinking?" "What?" "Couldn't you find anyone better than..." "Sverrir is a great guy." "So stay out of my private life!" "Sverrir from Disbelief, of all men." "I think your dad's elf theory is completely far out." "I mean, she probably fell and had some sort of a concussion." "The doctors haven't found anything." "They aren't looking, I mean..." "It's in their interest to keep her here as long as possible." "I just feel like it's my fault." "It's not your fault, you were in a blackout." "I'm not talking about that." "I just want to make peace with them and get my wife back." "I'm willing to do something for them in return." "Where was the stone?" "Where the hole is." "What is that?" "This?" "Energy rods." "What are they doing?" "Don't be afraid." "I'm a friend of your Mom's." "Her protector." "I won't harm you." "Are you dead?" "Yes, I died a long time ago." "Now I'm here to help." "Do you know what's wrong with Mom?" "I do." "But I also know that she will be alright." "And you don't have to be afraid of me." "What are they doing down there?" "The guy is a medium and he's talking to the elves." "A medium?" "This guy?" "Not a chance." "They say that..." "she will be back home soon." "They say they're not angry with you, and..." "Where are they?" "Where?" "Yes, where in Germany?" "They're in West..." "Germany." "Where exactly?" "You must be more precise." "They're in B..." "Berlin?" "Right, they're in Berlin." "You're just a fraud." "So you don't do elves?" "Thanks anyway." "Hi, Fernando." "What did you say?" "Fernando." "Where did you hear that?" "I met Rebecca." "You mean the ghost, Mom's friend?" "Yeah." "She was just here." "Did she know anything about your Mom?" "Sure." "She said Mom was with the elves." "In Germany?" "No, in Graystone." "Lara!" "Lara dear." "You have to come home." "Can you hear me?" "I can't live without you." "You have to come back." "Come back home." "Please." "I can't take back what I've done." "Can you hear me?" "Lara, come home, now." "Are you selling the stone?" "Well, that's the idea." "You're not selling this stone!" "Hey, what the...?" "Not in here." "Yes." "I've never done it in a ghost house before." "Sverrir..." "Hello!" "Alright." "Icelandic mediums released a declaration earlier today where they protest against moving Greystone." "They strongly oppose to any plans of selling the stone and will formally protest by Greystone tomorrow at noon." "Look..." "What time is it in Summerland?" "We don't use clocks." "So everyone is always late?" "No, we know if we have to be somewhere." "We use mind messages." "Mind messages?" "It's a bit like your Internet." "Like e-mails of the mind." "Will I go to Summerland when I die?" "Probably." "Will I be a ghost, like you?" "I wouldn't call myself a ghost." "Because... ghosts are those who don't want to leave Earth when they die." "People who feel they have some unfinished business to take care of." "Now go down and help your dad." "He needs you." "What are you making?" "It's a protest sign." "Here." "Thanks." "Do you think it's alright that people can buy elf stones like cereal in a supermarket?" "If someone's stupid enough to think elves live inside stones, he should be able to spend his money that way." "We're going to be at the protest tomorrow." "Are you going to be at the protest?" "We're going to protest against them protesting this bullshit." "Then I'm going to be in the other group." "I'm the spokesman for Disbelief." "My girlfriend can't be seen protesting with some idiots." "Are you saying my family is a bunch of idiots?" "Are you saying my dad is an idiot?" "Your dad is an idiot, you've said so yourself many times." "Get out." "Get out of here now!" "This is bullshit." "High above in the highest cliff there lives an elf-woman" "No one in Iceland knows but me how well she sings" "I raise my horn to the well-being of all elves." "Hail all elves." "Sell the elves!" "Fuck off!" "We are gathered here to show the elves our support." "They settled on this land before us and deserve our respect..." "This stone is the heart of Kopavogur." "We won't accept..." "We won't accept it being made into a commodity to be sold!" "We demand that..." "The stone will stay!" "The stone will stay!" "The stone will stay!" "The stone will stay!" "Good people." "I ask you to step back." "You are in the way." "We're not moving." "If you won't leave now, we'll have to use the gas." "Let the elves take care of them." "Yes, step back." "Dad, come on." "Come on, Dad." "Let's go, it's hell getting this stuff in your eyes." "Let's go." "Dad, come on." "Let's go." "Hello..." "Lara?" "You're awake?" "Am I in Summerland?" "No, you're at the City Hospital." "Mom!" "Darlings." "Welcome back, Mom." "Thank you, darling." "You've grown." "Who's this man?" "This is Sverrir, my boyfriend." "I see." "Where's your dad?" "This terrible event will rest in the memory of the Icelandic nation." "We have to learn from this." "We have to realize that we do not live on this land alone." "And we have to treat Nature with love and respect..." "Not with temporary gains as our only goal." "We are gathered here today to pay our respects to the activist and visionary," "Oskar Oskarsson." "Oskar was true to his ideals to the end." "He spoke up when others held their silence." "Yes, it was very beautiful." "Hi!" "Hello, my dear." "Hi, son." "Did you read the obituaries?" "No, are they any good?" "Sure, there are some nice things." "For example..." "The Mayor wants to raise you a statue." "No way!" "That's really something," "I'm starting to feel like a national hero." "Will it be in gold?" "Bronze?" "Or in silver?" "How would you pose?" "Show me." "Respectable?" "Yes." "Perhaps with a little smile." "Yes." "Well, Oskar, it's time to go." "Do we have to go right now?" "I have to get you to Summerland." "I think I'm going to stay behind." "What?" "I'm staying." "And becoming a ghost?" "Why not?" "I'm not in a hurry, am I?" "Lara?" "Yes?" "Well, I wouldn't mind." "But then you're no longer my responsibility." "What?" "Nothing, dear."
