"GAURAGANGUR" "Yuri?" "Who else?" "I'm afraid I have terrible news." "Are the capitalist pigs up to something?" "No, all quiet on that front." "Ormur Odinsson just died." "No... repeat!" "You heard right." "He died climbing Mount Everest," "Looking for a flower to give to his fiancee and poetic inspiration." "He was so young..." "Just turned 16, the youngest Nobel Prize winner of all time." "I'm sorry I can't..." "Ormur was about to wed his longtime girlfriend Linda" "She is going to perform a song in his honor at the funeral" "What?" "You'll be late for school." "If it's the Parliaments' Committee for Honorary Artists calling, tell them I'll speak to them later." "I'm busy right now." "It's almost half past seven." "I'm ill." "Shall I come in?" "Of course not!" "I can smell smoke." "I just lit some incense." "I must insist you leave me be during prayer-time." "I made porridge." "There's also some coffee if you want." "You're a saint." "A saint who has to do the laundry and hurry to work." "My name is Orm Odinsson and I'm precocious." "As early as elementary school my poetry got some well deserved recognition." "I'm one of the founding members of the super realist poetry group, the Boot." "We publish the art magazine the Child Friendly Buzzard." "Runar is on his way." "He's up to something down in the basement." "I really have to use the bathroom?" "There's also a toilet up here." "Thanks, but I prefer to shit below ground-water levels." "Paracelus was an alchemist who lived and worked in the 16th century, and it is proven that he could make gold." "The old fart took the secret with him to the grave but it is known that shit is one of the main components." "That's why we had been collecting it for a few weeks." "Ranúr." "He, along with me, is the founder of the Boot." "We have a lot in common." "For instance, we both wear shoes number 44." "His dad is lying on the ocean floor, drowned." "His mother Inga is nice but a bit too fussy at times." "Being called Runar gets incredibly on his nerves since it's hard to find a more unoriginal name he even wrote his name as Ranúr Hermannsson on exam papers." "Ormur!" "What sort of an immoral person would even think of writing the name of a dead doctor on his doctor's note?" "The death of a physician does not revoke the legitimacy of his previously signed documents!" "I will be watching you Ormur." "Please do." "Arnór Eidsson, a secondary school teacher has been reported missing." "Arnór is just under average height." "The last time he was seen, he was dressed in a checkered suit, which may possibly have been his confirmation suit." "The police urge anyone who have any information as to Arnór's whereabouts, not to come forward, since noone really cares where he is." "Good morning." "I was at the dentist's." "I am certain that Arnór is sexless." "He didn't look up when Linda walked into the classroom." "Icelanders write the letter Y." "Am I not an Icelander?" "Then you would write Y." "Many of our greatest poets didn't write Y. Weren't they Icelanders?" "Well they are all dead, Ormur." "That's hardly my fault." "Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if it was." "What is that?" "Some sort of an attempted sarcasm?" "Are you telling us that Ormur is getting a zero because he doesn't write Y?" "Those who do not write Y, must cultivate their preferences outside the educational system." "Sit down." "Arnór Eidsson, I challenge you to face me in the ancient sport of hopping on one leg whilst burping." "He who stops burping first or can no longer stand his ground has been defeated and shall be called a coward and a weakling and be subject to public urination." "Be quiet and sit down." "Fire in the headmaster's nostrils." "You are all pricks." "Picked." "You are all picked up, one by one, like matches from a matchbook." "You are struck on the sulfur-contaminated sides, on concrete walls, with the hope of a spark, with the hope of a flame." "But you brake." "You crumble, because your heads are soggy and they will never succeed in lighting a fire in the headmaster's nostrils." "You're coming with me." "Thank you everybody!" "Thor!" "You keep an eye on them!" "Sure." "Come." "So you aspire to be a poet?" "That's fine." "The world needs its share of poets." "Let's see." "Before I forget, You should be a little more considerate to Arnór." "Who knows?" "Perhaps Arnór once wanted to become a poet." "Myself, I was going to become a pilot, but I couldn't see a thing." "I was disqualified." "A lot of people get disqualified." "But, it is no joke, being a poet." "It is in fact dead-serious." "Here you are." ""A Cloud in Trousers."" "I call it self-exploration." "We will be skinned alive if we publish this drawing." "We could always base our defense on the claim that it isn't based on any living person." "Everyone can see that this is Arnór Eidsson." "He'd have a nervous breakdown." "It is healthy to have a nervous breakdown every once in a while." "What have you got Svenni?" "This is a poem I wrote last summer." "Listen." "The raven flies high in the sky." "Laughs with it's cold beak" "The farmers say that the end is nigh." "Curse the plight of the weak." "This goes in the paper." "How did you like the poem?" "It could be a little shorter in the beginning, the middle and the end." "Boys!" "I will throw you out if you can't behave like men." "I got the idea for this poem after everyone at the farm got sick from eating some rotten whale meat." "Some people thought this was an epidemic." "She thinks you are cute." "Is this supposed to be a meeting or what?" "My heart is crushed by the emotional monster and is dragged forward by the screaming uncertainty of your kisses." "Your athletic body and hairy chest are my knot of fate, mate." "Dinner" "My plight is not a physical hunger but rather a mental one." "Of course you're hungry." "I've made fishstew with rye bread." "Some girl from your class called." "Drink your milk." "Who was it?" "I don't know." "I asked her if she wanted to leave a message." "So, the ladies have started calling him up?" "Probably his girlfriend Halla." "You just mind your own gym-gorilla, Gunnfridur." "From now on you can compose your own love poems." "Knutur is the name of your heart-throb." "Kiss him from me you slob." "Behave yourselves kids." "The revenge of the poets is terrifying." "Albeit at a later date Gunnfridur, albeit at a later date." "Oh, just go and call up your fat girlfriend." "Don't say such things, she's a very nice girl." "She's the daughter of Maggi Petursson, the actor." "I always thought he was a great artist." "An artist, these clowns who think they are so funny, but then you meet guys that are ten times as funny in every single port." "Fortunately, people's tastes and interests are diverse." "Maggi our tenant didn't know the difference between" "Clouds in pants and skidmarks." "Hi Halla, did you just call?" "What?" "No." "You didn't." "Great." "Is there any sort of lame cliché that's worse than walking thirty times past the same crappy house, in the middle of the night, just because a certain girl is snoring inside it?" "Ormur isn't in." "Can I come in?" "If I told you no, would you care?" "Let's be friends Ormur." "That's what the guards in the Nazi concentration camps said at the end of the war." "Is it impossible to talk with you like another human being?" "Why don't you just get yourself an electronic boyfriend." "You won't have to send him teary-eyed love letters." "You are a very normal boy going through a period of resistance and you have no right ridicule me." "A very normal boy." "Could I ask you a favour?" "No." "From now on you can put your own notions on this gorilla into words yourself." "You are thick as a plank." "I guess that was kind of uncalled for." "You could say a lot about my sister but thick as a plank is not one of them." "because she is both intelligent and talented." "I'm sorry." "I'm known for this kind of humor." "I'm pregnant." "Pregnant." "I can't say anything nasty." "I can't say anything nasty." "The children of children turn out great." "This is great, you can graduate together." "Do you think this is gonna be all right?" "All right!" "How can you even ask that question?" "The little brat will take after his uncle and that's not a sorry act to follow." "You're the best." "Mom found out about the alchemy." "What?" "And... so, what did they do with the contents?" "I'm guessing it got flushed into the Atlantic." "You have to be joking!" "All that work." "We have to start over immediately." "No." "No?" "Don't you want to cast off the shackles of education and the plebs?" "I promised mom." "Guy's, I just wanted to remind you about my birthay party tonight." "Is there a party?" "Yes." "You are so forgetful." "Halla you can count on us." "Hey." "Hello." "Careful not to catch a cold." "What do you mean?" "Never mind." "Aren't you hungry, my boy?" "How's school?" "It's just scooby-doo." "What does that mean?" "That can mean all sorts of things." "Don't you like school?" "Did you like school?" "It never really came to that." "I was young when I first went to sea." "So, did you enjoy sailing that much?" "Sometimes it's fun." "Sometimes it's not." "It can't be that good when you don't catch anything?" "No." "That's not good." "And it can't be fun when the boat sinks from underneath you?" "It's good to be alive." "That's just something that those who are afraid to die say." "Life is good my dear Ormur." "We have to believe that it is." "Life is mundane." "There's no need for you to be all high and mighty with me." "Mom was asking about the rent." "The gin, is going to elevate us to new heights of intelligence" "With its help we should be outrageously amusing." "Halla!" "Hey" "Just help yourselves to the buffet." "Hi." "Why are you so late?" "You should practice a more orginal introductory comment." "This didn't come out right." "Dear guests, Linda and I wanted to sing a few romantic songs for you." "Hopefully not too romantic." "We've rehearsed them quietly." "You are the first ones to hear them." "Don't you want to keep on playing them quietly." "One, two, three." "Come you're drunk." "Do you think that Thor is in love with Arnór?" "Close your eyes and go to sleep." "Hello?" "I have no idea how I got up that blasted ladder." "It must have been my subconscious that took me up there." "Oh hello." "Where do you think you're going, mate?" "I'm making an inspection of the house." "I'm preparing an offer on a paintjob." "The springtime tends to be so busy, you have to start preparing in the wintertime." "Come down mate." "They didn't seem to be buying it." "Make yourself comfortable." "Sweet dreams about your Linda." "That's exactly what I was trying to do." "We are just rehearsing a few songs." "We?" "What are you doing here?" "What were you doing in that ladder?" "We were rehearsing a scene from Romeo and Juliet." "Gunnfrídur's boyfriend will be coming around for dinner." "I'm not interrupting the Calorie Movement's Summit?" "Hi." "Hi." "Nice to see you in the midst of all this culture." "You left the birthday so suddenly." "My chauffeur picked me up." "I had scheduled breakfast with the president." "Can't we be friends?" "Friends?" "You don't know what that word means?" "If it's something between a man and a woman I'd say it involves one person lying on a slab and the other one doing surgery." "Where does all this philosophy come from?" "History books." "So there's no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman?" "There's a slim chance after you reach eighty." "According to hyper-realistic theories women can be split into two groups harlots and goddesses." "Which group do I belong to?" "You skilfully waltz the line between the two." "You're a petty little bourgois." "Bourgois?" "You think I'm too fat." "You are fat." "You don't want to be seen with a fat girl." "Says who?" "I'll announce to everyone we meet on the street that we're not a couple." "That's considerate of you." "Halla, I don't suppose you would fancy me treating you to a cup of coffee?" "You weren't crying?" "That's the only method that works with tough guys like you." "I only cry when I have a real reason to do it." "Okay, then you pay for the coffee." "Halla and I had our share of fun as members of "the Boot"" "But this was the first time I spent alone with her." "You've got a crush on Linda." "You're in love." "That term has always reminded me of being in a prison camp." "You know that Linda is seeing someone from the Academy of Arts." "I've heard that everybody there has got Chlamydia." "Linda you seem to live a double life." "Thanks for the coffee." "Linda." "Hey and thanks for last time." "What was up with your attitude yesterday?" "My attitude?" "I was a wee bit tipsy, Linda." "You were rude." "What?" "Rude, aren't you listening?" "It seemed to me that your ears were just too busy..." "You don't always have to say something, Ormur." "It was nice talking to you." "Linda, there's a really inspirational and epic film being shown in cinemas." "May I request you accompany me to enjoy this gem?" "The Jaguar will arrive at your house at six o'clock sharp." "We shall be having filet mignon and red wine after the cinema." "Alright?" "I'm going to give a new name to this crazy planet" "It shall henceforth be known as Linda." "Yes, good afternoon." "I would like to reserve a table for two." "What can I get for these books?" "The entire collection?" "Is it true that not only did you conquer my sister but you also did it with an ippon?" "I'm afraid we don't have any steak but I'm hoping you like brand new fish?" "Fish is my favourite food in the world." "Gunnfrídur was freaking out because there was no salad with the fish." "So...what's living in Akureyri like?" "It's alright." "A good place to go skiing?" "And swinging?" "Yes, a great place to go swinging-- skiing!" "And beautiful landscapes?" "Yes, the natural beauty is amazing." "But still, sometimes you want to make a change." "By changing your nature?" "I've been thinking about moving south." "Oh, why is that?" "A number of reasons." "Work, better practising facilities and such." "Well, I certainly hope you won't take my daughter up North." "There's more work here in the south for a carpenter like myself." "I hear Formica is all the rage." "Gunnfrídur and I have decided to announce our engagement." "Gunnfrídur felt we should do it here." "Congratulations." "It's great when to people with the same sense of humor discover each other." "Good evening." "Does Linda Halls live here?" "Hm?" "Yes, you're Linda's classmate." "If I'm not mistaken." "Indeed." "Enter." "I had expected him to say;" "Yes, how do you do?" ""I understand you are the most promising poet of your entire generation!"" "Good day to you." "I'm Katrín." "Linda's mother." "Hi, Ormur." "What the hell is he doing here?" "Did they have a rehearsal planned for tonight?" "My memory isn't perfect but I seem to recall that he kissed him." "Been waiting long?" "I just arrived." "Linda, I must say, you look wonderful tonight." "Well I'll be..." "Well, now everyone's here." "Shall we get going?" "What the..." "Woe is me." "I feel so pretentious." "Ormur!" "What are you mumbling about?" "Be quiet!" "What on earth can you do to pass the time during a film like this." "Ormur!" "Watch the film." "Tell the actors to go home and leave us alone." "Stop it!" "People are starting to stare at us!" "Really?" "May I offer you some candy?" "No?" "Do you want some candy?" "Linda, you want some candy don't you?" "Good film." "Yes, incredibly thorough." "Possibly the best scandinavian film since "Cries and Whispers"." "I so agree." "That one was brilliant." "And this one was especially well made." "Excellent directing." "Do you want to do something now?" "Yes I had something else in mind." "But I didn't order a table for Thor." "No, I have to study for tomorrow." "We have to baby-sit." "See you." "Typical for that cod-head to be living in Linda's neighbourhood." "Great, no jerking off tonight." "Watching your best friend lose his self-respect and getting caught up in the laws of materialism was unbearable." "That's why I had decided not to go to the christmas dance." "Well, what do you think?" "You here?" "Will I see you at the ball?" "No, I plan to be invisible." "Well, have you decided what you're going to be wearing at the ball?" "What?" "I mean, it can be handy to...memorize what you're going to be wearing" "Have you been working out?" "You talk so much Ormur." "Linda, my heart beats for Iceland and you." "See you then." "Something terrifying hit me and told me that this was how my life would turn out." "That I would talk and talk but still everything I wanted was out of reach." "Find anything you like?" "What's that?" "This is malt." "I would have to drink sixteen bathtubs' worth of it to get a buzz." "Isn't Linda with you?" "What's she thinking, we're going on stage in a few minutes." "Aren't you coming in?" "No, I don't want to be bothered with this stupid dance." "She'll come." "Who?" "Linda." "Who's Linda?" "Aren't you going in?" "No Gudmundur, your gym and I don't get along." "Why don't you join the fun, it's crazy in there." "You know I think I've had enough fun for tonight." "Your loss." "Tell me it's nice to see me." "It's nice to see you." "No need to leave footsteps on the sheets even though they aren't very clean." "Do you mind kissing me, Ormur?" "No, not at all." "You're not a sex maniac, you're a spiritual being." "The ear-lobes!" "Rub them..." "Huh?" "What did you say?" "Earlobes." "Ormur, this isn't very comfortable." "Shall we take our clothes off?" "Sure." "Yes, good idea... we don't want them to get wrinkled now do we?" "My shoe." "Ormur, do you have protection?" "I don't dare without it." "I'm not on the pill." "Lets see...condoms, condoms, condoms..." "No, no condoms." "Damn, I don't think I have any." "What?" "Did I say that out loud?" "Reykjavík Pharmacy!" "Maybe they're open!" "Meanwhile, you can rest here!" "I'm not tired Ormur." "You can't be serious by going now?" "Oh, I am serious." "Probably more serious than I've ever been in my life." "Relax." "I'll be here before you know it." "Closed." "Great." "Linda was gone." "I wasn't surprised really." "Her scent was still on the pillow." "Dear Ormur!" "I had to go." "Don't be sad!" "I think we will be together later." "XXX Linda." "Hi." "Here is a small present." "Thank you." "Won't you come in?" "Wait a second." "Oh hello." "Can I get you any refreshment?" "No thanks, I'm just passing by." "Is everything ready at your house?" "I guess so." "Do you go to church?" "Only when we die." "Thank you." "Aren't you going to wish me a merry christmas?" "Merry christmas." "Hi, merry christmas." "Hi hi, merry christmas." "Hello, I'm Linda's cousin." "Merry christmas." "You'll just exchange it." "Merry christmas Linda!" "You're coming to the summer cabin after christmas, aren't you?" "Cabin?" "Halla didn't invite you yet?" "Yes, and of course I will grace you and Thor with my presence." "I didn't invite Thor." "Merry christmas Ormur." "Bon appetit." "Let us toast to Joseph the carpenter who allowed the Holy Ghost to sleep with his dearly beloved." "You're such an asshole." "Remember to eat well Gunnfridur, you're after all eating for two." "You can never keep a secret!" "Pregnant?" "Yes." "Congratulations my darling." "This is becoming a habit." "Cheers." "I've decided who will be sleeping where." "We, the girls, will have our own rooms while you guys can sleep in the loft." "Isn't there some fish in the lake?" "There are fishing poles in the cabinet." "What do you say guys?" "Shouldn't we go fishing?" "Let's do it." "You aren't going now?" "Let's do it." "When Svenni gets a good idea, it's something for the history books." "Be very careful around the lake." "It's freezing." "OKAY MUMMY!" "It's very easy to catch a fish through a hole in the ice." "When great minds like Svenni start going there is no stopping them." "Be careful Svenni." "There must be a hole in the ice somewhere." "If not I'll just use this one." "Svenni!" "I didn't need any rescuing." "Sure Svenni, just relax." "Don't go in fully clothed." "Shall we go into the hot tub?" "I'm not in the mood." "Your loss." "Aren't you joining us in the hot tub." "Please, there must be some swimming trunks in my parent's room." "We don't have to join them." "I told you that we'd be together." "Do you have condoms?" "I most certainly have." "Two, solid, lubricated condoms with the swedish condom inspection's seal of approval." "Svenni, Put your trunks on." "This is disgusting." "On the farm we only put on clothes when we'd get visitors." "God damn it!" "This swedish junk, it tore." "Try again, you have another don't you?" "Relax!" "If this one tears as well I'm done for." "Made it in whole piece!" "This is probably how it feels like to die." "You fear it for decades, even hating the idea but eventually you're carried with the stream and there's no escape." "Everything becomes absolute you disappear into death's embrace, tired, content and into nirvana." "Are you insane?" "Did you come?" "I told you to use condoms!" "Go." "Get out!" "Might I interest you in a lottery ticket for the local Rescue Squad?" "Linda." "Can't we talk this through like sensible adults?" "Talk to me when you've grown up." "Maggi!" "Get your ass in here." "I decide where my ass goes, thank you very much." "What were you doing out there?" "Losing a rose." "I haven't seen you around lately." "Yeah... how are you guys doing?" "Scooby doo." "I got hired on a boat." "One that floats?" "Yeah." "I'm a foreman as well." "We sail from the harbor in Sandgerdi." "Congratulations with that." "This is for the rent I owed." "Could you give this to Olga?" "Yeah, sure." "And remember to tell her I said hello." "You know if you ever need a job, you can always be in touch." "Here's my number." "Well, it was nice seeing you." "You too." "Home sweet home." "What?" "Sorry Ormur, it was Gunnfrídur's idea." "Are you trying to kill me?" "Sorry, I wanted to ask you to go to town with Knútur and buy fireworks." "Sorry, but it was funny." "You have to buy me a hot dog then." "If you laugh you can count on that tears are not far behind." "If someone smiles then sombody surely is grimacing." "If the sun shines in one place then rain is falling in another." "The average idiot knows this." "Hello?" "Good day, this is Ormur Ódinsson, a semi-automatic phone-machine speaking." "If you want to leave a message please do it now after you hear the violins." "Ormur." "We were afraid about you." "Well, my goal in life is to create anticipation." "It wasn't very funny." "I missed you." "I understand." "It can be effective to shut up on a stage where the guests have paid for admission" "Or at home." "But shutting up while on a pay phone is expensive." "Linda, phones are for talking." "I like you, but we haven't gotten to know each other yet." "We have to meet and discuss things." "Oh my god." "What on earth had I gotten myself into?" "Are you there?" "Yes." "That's a good idea." "Talking together, that is." "Listen, the coins are finished." "I have to go." "Happy new year and thanks for the old one!" "Don't you want to come over tonight and be with us?" "I would've wanted to say:" "Linda, I'm an idiot." "Now I'll show you how we do this up north." "Slight technical difficulties." "Happy new year." "And thanks for the old one." "Happy new year." "Happy new year shorty." "Happy new year." "Happy new year Mate!" "Ormur dear, don't you want to go meet your friends." "You should be with those you love the most on new year's eve." "But mom, I love you the most." "Oh, my dear boy." "Is Ormur there?" "Has Alfred Nobel himself returned from the grave and asking for the great poet?" "Hello Ormur." "Hello m'lady." "I'm holding champagne and was wondering whether you wanted to toast with me?" "I was just about to open my fourth bottle." "Happy new year Ormur." "We're still going to be friends in the new year?" "Why, do you have enemies at all?" "Is something wrong?" "No, nothing's wrong." "Happy new year Halla and thanks for the past one." "Can't you try to be happy in the new year, Ormur?" "I'm as happy as a blind kitten." "Tell me you care about me, you pig." "I care about you, you pig." "Halla, if the sun melts the wax of my wings and fall from the skies and land on the statue of Leif Eriksson and am impaled on his stake, would you let me die in your arms?" "Yes, Ormur." "You don't have to ask." "Where's Ranúr?" "Ormur he's downstairs." "I'm worried about Ranur and the final exams." "That poor thing... you know how he struggles, cross-eyed and dyslexic..." "Inga my dear, Ranúr is just crippled like all geniuses." "Don't worry about him." "He should have no problem getting a job as a dustman if he does well for himself." "I didn't mean to kill the fun." "I was just going through the curriculum." "Better late than never." "What do you think about María?" "Yeah." "She says I'd definitely make it into the Arts Academy." "They'd be stupid to accept you." "You're a prick." "They'd be insane if they didn't admit you." "If I pass." "It's new year's man." "You have to start the year with a bit of optimism." "Says who." "Wise men." "Yeah, they say many clever things." "They're geniuses like us." "I've never had trouble sleeping before exams but Ranúr was a different story." "Before a test he'd usually lie awake for days and vomit." "Everything turned around in his head." "What was the point of testing a eccentric like him?" "The spider-web of destiny is woven with many fine threads." "Each step you take is loaded with meaning." "Everything people want to lock away interests me." "The damn math exam was only four days away." "I put together two and two and concluded that all the exams would be in the file cabinet the next day." "You know how ideas appear in the minds of geniuses." "All of a sudden everything appears crystal clear." "It's called inspiration." "Good luck in the final exams." "Ormur, can we talk." "Now?" "Yes." "I'm quite busy at the moment." "I wanted to call after her how much I cared about her." "But I had a job to do." "Time flies like a bird." "I feel like it's a stuffed bird." "Nothing ever happens in Iceland unless you do it yourself." "Do you have any idea what you've just done?" "Have you completely lost your mind?" "This is probably the most stupid thing you've done in your life." "Are we going to allow Ranúr to fail his exam?" "How on earth are you planning to make Ranúr memorize this?" "Is he going to smuggle the answers in." "Unless." "Unless what?" "We think of something." "That's why I came to you." "I was an idiot." "Even with all the aswers to the exams in front of him they'd get jumbled in his brain." "You may begin." "May I go to the bathroom?" "You need the bathroom?" "Wait here." "Stand up!" "And so the world ended." "Not with an explosion but with a sigh." "They're convinced I somehow stole the exams." "The janitor was complaining about an open window in the basement." "It had to end like this." "This is the stupidest idea the two of you could have ever come up with." "THE TWO OF US?" "It was my idea." "And I'd like to be in the singular if you don't mind." "And now what?" "I didn't tell them anything." "Where are you going?" "I set a precedence for the other students!" "A man who goes this far..." "You can keep this fucking school for all I care." "To hell with it." "It was me and no one but me who stole that ridiculous test." "I went on like this until Gummi snapped." "The Snow Queen's Palace." "She looked like an extra from Dr. Zhivago." "The weather is beautiful." "You're also beautiful." "I think I'm pregnant." "That's life." "You can't count on anything." "Nothing?" "Bravo!" "What do you mean?" "It can't be!" "Yes, it actually can be!" "But weren't you with Thor too?" "And what about that guy from the Arts Academy?" "I never slept with Thor!" "And the other dude?" "You're the father!" "How do you know?" "I just know." "Do you feel bad?" "What do you think?" "I asked first." "Yes I feel bad!" "What shall I do?" "I just wanted to tell you." "Thank you, so nice of you." "What should I say?" "Do you love me Linda?" "How would she answer?" "I don't know do you love me?" "I nearly couldn't bid her farewell." "Goodbye." "I wow never ever to come near a girl again." "In my mind an old song my mum used to sing was playing in a loop." "Too young to love right now, but love doesn't ask when or how." "It took me a few moments to find Maggi's boat." "It wasn't a big boat." "and seemed to have seen its fair share of sea through the years." "The idea of setting sail on this bedpan suddenly seemed like a very bad idea." "Evening." "Is the captain around?" "It's called a foreman!" "Think you'll be sailing tonight?" "I hope so." "You promised me a place." "How many are in the crew." "Two, including you." "Get some sleep before we sail out at seven." "While the females tend the young we men go out hunting." "Sea-sick?" "No, I'm just trying a new diet." "You must eat some food so you have something to vomit." "Stop this." "Stand up." "I'd just about thrown up everything I'd eaten since I was one years old." "In the end I threw up my mother's milk mixed with bile." "After I got rid of most of the sickness, thing went remarkably well." "I managed to work all night long even though it was only in my sleep." "But I think I gutted more fish in my dreams than on the deck." "1200 kilos." "Not bad!" "Not a bone to be caught for weeks." "Then you show up and puke in the nets and everything is filled with fish." "Think you could give us a few bottles for the next time?" "It's exciting." "Aren't you coming in?" "I don't think so." "You and your mother probably have enough talking to do." "Of course." "My dear boy." "Buy yourself some malt." "Thanks Maggi." "How much is a three room apartment." "If we fish like this every time you'll afford one in no time at all." "Ormur, I want to be clear that I could use you on the boat." "But if your mother objects to it then that's the end of it." "You're OK Maggi." "Oh, the joy to once again be standing naked in a hot shower, letting the water boil myself, lathering, masturbating and still feeling a bit sea-sick." "Actually it was terribly sappy, but true nonetheless," "I started crying because I lived there, because I wanted to fight with my sister and smell her scent," "because I knew mum thought so much more than she said." "Linda's parents came to see me to talk things over" "I told them this was something you and Linda should discuss, not your parents." "Go and talk to Linda." "The old lady never ceased to amaze me." "Good afternoon." "Is Linda home?" "Please come in." "She was more perfect than I'd remembered." "So has the princess decided on a place to stay?" "I want us to part as friends." "Of course this can always happen." "We're so young." "Let's finish our childhood first." "You've been rehearsing this for long?" "Maybe one day we'll meet under different circumstances." "Or you'll probably meet someone more intelligent," "Someone who sees the world like you do." "Or better understands you." "I just can't imagine giving birth to this child Ormur." "I've thought about this night and day." "It's my body and my life." "I felt my head fill with those twisted words." "It was like a ticking bomb that had gone off in my head." "It had imploded." "I was dead inside." "Leave me alone!" "We haven't decided anything." "This is a decision Linda has to make herself." "But there's no point fooling yourself." "You are still both children." "Have you thought about this, Ormur?" "I think it's important for people to come to a joint decision." "For everything to be done without ill will." "Absolutely." "Let's be quite clear that this doesn't make any difference whatsoever." "It's just a formality." "But your signature will prove that you have been involved in the decision." "Come my boy." "That's life, full of formalities." "Slowly life started coming over me." "Someone once said that work makes you noble." "I was discovering one of the laws of Life, that is everything ends badly." "The flowers have a pretty color for a second and then they blow away." "You walk around sure of your opinions and at the next moment you're out of breath, defeated, scared like a little straw that hears the sound of the hoe approaching." "and they will never succeed in lighting a fire in the headmaster's nostrils." "Do you know this poem?" "Of course I know it, I wrote it!" "Gunnfrídur!" "There's no other suspect." "She'll pay... with interest." "Mom would be so proud of you now." "Have you seen my catalogue?" "Yes, it's here." "I was reading an article." "Oh OK." "We didn't feel as if we were at crossroads." "We just enjoyed the moment to its utmost." "I don't remember what we talked about and it doesn't matter." "These were my best friends." "One journey was over and another was beginning." "I wanted to tell them I was their friend, that I genuinely cared for them." "But I knew it would sound ridiculous." "I found out Halla's dad knew a man who knew a man who owned a lighthouse." "Where I could stay and write." "I could detect movement in the dining room." "It had to be Linda arranging the Finnish cutlery on the table." "In my mind I walked up to her from behind." "Followed closely the soft movement of her thighs." "She felt a chill, like in a Bergman movie." "You have to make sure you close all the windows when you go back home." "You're not fat." "You're actually very...hot." "Don't accidentally kill yourself on the island." "Mom was cleaning your coffee cup," "I think she wants you over for a visit." "I got Maggi to drop me off at the lighthouse." "In return I promised him I'd keep working for him." "In the bag I have paper, sheets, ten rye breads, twelve cans of fish pudding and master Majakovsky." "Subrip: easytobeaman"
