"It's a ridiculous demand everyone makes that you shall speak so that everyone understand you." "Neither men nor toad-stools grow so." "As if Nature could support but one order of understandings." "As if there were safety in stupidity alone." "B U R R O W I N G" "Sebastian!" "Sebbe!" "Sebastian, answer!" "Mum's said I'm not to drink the river water as it's so brown and muddy." "It gets pumped up to the gardens where Mum's and my house is." "Sometimes I turn the pump tap on and let the water spurt so the blackcurrant bushes bow and gooseberries fall off and the lawn gets all wet and squishy." "Mischa lives furthest down my street." "Anders lives in the house opposite ours." "Jimmy lives with his parents, although he's grown up and has a son." "Jimmy's been thrown out of his home a thousand times." "Jimmy's not allowed a door key of his own but he borrows keys from neighbours." "Have you got a spare key, to...?" "No..." "To your place?" "What's happened to your key?" "Haven't you got one?" "Never had one - never had the privilege." "How are you then?" "Hello." " I see." " You want to go home, but no key." " Right." " Come in, until your parents get back." "Well, why not?" "You can wait here until they get home as you've nowhere to go." " There!" " Yes, there's that piece of apple." "Use your time with him well." "Jimmy's not going anywhere." "He leads an aimless life, they say." "There's the back hall bathroom and sauna." "A study-cum-library..." "They gave me planning permission for one gallery." "I conformed and then applied to another officer, and I got permission for more." "Someone advised me to exploit to stretch the rules and see how things went." "The house was to be at least six metres from the road." " But, if I put the garage there..." " I thought I heard them arriving." "Anders has got all the things that Jimmy hasn't got." "He's bought his own house, opposite." "When Anders feels things are getting too much, he goes off out for a run." "But Anders has started sleeping badly." "His dad's name is Gert and he always has white gloves on when he does the gardening." "Mischa moved to Sweden in the 70s for the sake of work." "He was on shifts at the fibreglass works." "One year, two years... maybe three." "But thirty years have passed now, and Mischa is still here." "What are you up to there?" "What do you think I'm up to?" "What are you staring at?" "Have you never seen a person before?" " I've seen many." " Have you?" "But not me." "What are your names..." "what's your name?" " Our names are of no consequence." " I see!" "What are you up to there?" "Mischa owns the house furthest down our street." "Anders has been granted planning permission for a carport over his drive." "Jimmy lives with his parents though he's not allowed his own key." "Right..." "Here are your sandwiches." "Want some milk?" " Yes..." " Can you pour it yourself?" "No arms on the table." "No... you know you're not to." "You can start with that one - it's got the same filling." "Have a small bite at least." "Strawberry afterwards." "A watch Grandpa and Granny once gave me, on my birthday..." "A little gold watch - you must have seen the one." "I went to get it out..." " ... but it wasn't where it usually is." " Wasn't it?" " Do you know where it can have got to?" " No." " I always keep it in my jewellery box." " I've no idea." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "You haven't had a look at it and tried it on maybe?" "No." "I don't like getting that grin..." "And I don't like seeing that grin, as I don't know what to believe." " No?" " No..." "I know you don't." " Can you help me look later?" " Yes." "If you think for a minute, where d'you think it might be?" "Underneath something." " Like what?" " A cushion." "Underneath a cushion?" "Excuse me..." " Have you got a few kronor to spare?" " Sorry." " A few kronor to spare...?" " No." " Could you let me have a few kronor?" " No." "What are you doing?" "They have nursing rooms indoors there - all you need." "Can't you go inside instead?" "It's softer... much nicer." " Do you want trousers, too?" " I can hold him while you pull them on." " This is not alright." " I'm just changing his nappy." "I'll hold this..." "Hey, can't you just leave!" "No." "I can't leave him like that." "Really I ought to report this." " Go ahead then..." " There are nursing facilities in there." " Where do you live?" " We live at home." "Where's home?" "What street?" "This ought to be reported to Welfare." "Then they'll put him in a care home." "You wouldn't want that." "If you don't report me..." "they will report you." "Yes." "I work at child welfare - we're obliged to report, if we see children suffering." " But he's not suffering." " If you've got cigarettes..." "I think you should come with me and we can change him, and wash..." "Listen...!" "Hand me my child!" "Now!" "Look how dirty his feet are!" "This will have to be reported." "Right..." "Let go." "Let go!" "Leave!" "I can't leave you with him." "I have a responsibility towards your child, not you." "If you want help, you can get it." "But I need to know your name and address." "Yes, the lady's being nasty." "She is." "Go fish and hunt far and wide day by day." "Rise free from care before the dawn, and seek adventures." "We should come home from far" "from adventures and perils, and discoveries" "with new experience and character." "Saw you, Rebecka, at Adam's!" "Saw you, Adam, at Adam's!" "He can't catch me!" "This is easy!" "Come here then!" "Joining in?" "I'm taking a break." "Run, Kevin!" "1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6..." "38, 39, 40 48, 49, 50!" "Look at Rebecka there!" "I'm home!" "Rebecka's there now!" "Sebbe, move away a bit!" "Move away!" "Stop it!" "Saw you, Rebecka - behind the... girder." "I saw all of you!" "40 50!" "Saw you, Sebastian, behind the elephant!" "Oh, bloody hell!" "One more time, counting to 50." "1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6 - everyone hide!" " 7, 8, 9 10, 11, 12, 13 50!" "I'm coming!" "Anders has got the greatest garden in the whole street." "He's remodelled it all." "Now he's going to lay paving." "His house is beginning to look really great." "He's having beige roof tiles instead of the black ones that were there from the start." "A truck came the following day with brand new things all plastic-wrapped." "Mum said it must have cost him a fortune." "But Anders says it's a good investment." "I don't really understand how it all adds up." "Anders's dad's name is Gert." "He's retired." "If one advances confidentially in the directions of his dreams and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." "Solitude will not be solitude." "Nor poverty poverty." "Nor weakness weakness." "I am not responsible for the successful working of the machinery of society." "I am not the son of the engineer." "When an acorn and a chestnut fall side by side" "the one does not remain inert to make way for the other." "But both grow and flourish as best they can." "If a plant cannot live according to nature it dies" "and so a man." "Yummie!" "Nice, eh?" "A big piece." " A yummie-tummy-laddy." " Daddy..." "Daddy, yes." "He's here." "Yummie-tummy-laddy!" " You can learn to say that." " It's quite difficult..." "I thought he said:" "Daddy, yummie-tummy-laddy." "Is Dad to have it?" "Someone took his comforter out when Santa turned up." "The first night was a bit uneasy, but then things were okay." " Joakim always had an extra comforter." " To fidget with..." "He had one he sucked on and an extra one in case he lost one." "But who had the little blanket?" "They had a lovely time down on the beach." "Notjust tennis, but mum-kid workouts." "Though sometimes it was mostly dads, and music and dancing..." "It was great." "Come along, Sebastian." " What for?" " Time to get changed... and get going." " We'll soon be off to the crayfish party." " Will we?" "And meet a lot of people." "And some new children that you can spend time with." "So... best behaviour - be kind and nice to everyone." "Alright?" " No mucking about." "No fooling around." " No!" "I know about all that." "Or things'll get in a mess - a mess for me and a mess for you." "Hey...!" "I'm talking to you." " We'll take things easy." " Yes." "There..." "Silas, everything's alright." "Silas." "Silas..." "No, Silas." "Silas..." "Come along..." "Come on." "Look!" "You can jump in from a jetty, which Sebastian did this summer." " Great." " Real fun." "Exciting." " It's not so shallow." " No, it's just right." "It soon gets deep enough for swimming." " And there are steps down." " I see." "It's about knee-deep." "Lovely." "It was so hot this summer, you just had to go for a swim..." "We've gathered here today to celebrate Jimmy's 50th birthday." "Would you all get to your feet and sing Happy Birthday To You." "And now - four cheers for Jimmy!" " Hip hip!" " Hurray, hurray, hurray, hurray!" "My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing." "As some creatures use their snout and forepaws." "I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts." "Here I will begin to mine." "Subtitles by Jonathan Mair Svensk Medietext"
