"encaged within the mill a stone grinds which turns the dance of the fool now they dance two now they dance three and death it dances along" "THE BALLAD OF CARL-HENNING" "and when rust wastes away the iron of the ploughshare which turns the soil of the marshland the deep seabed heaves itself up and the mill it sinks down the deep seabed heaves itself up and the mill it sinks down" "Do not fear fish, do not fear deer." "Do not fear south, do not fear north." "Do not fear what anyone says." "Rather die than live as a slave." "That's how it was years ago." "Here in Ballum we have the acres of sorrow." "Mercy was shown, and the man said:" ""If you can reap three fields of barley between sunrise and sunset," ""you will be free."" "And she began." "Many wanted to help her but it was impossible." "But when the darkness fell she reaped the final sheaf." "And out of happiness for having reaped everything she fell dead on the ground." "Later she was buried in Ballum's graveyard where her grave can still be seen today." "Fine." "That's how that story here from Ballum ended, you see." "I do know there's more..." "But... 15.30:" "News." "15.45:" "Fishermen's news." "16.10:" "Rerun of Ole Vinding's "A city dweller in nature."" "Fill it up." " Yes." "Poulsen!" "There's a phone call for you." " Yes?" "Fine." "Hi." "Hi, Poul." "Working time is over!" " Where will you go?" "Nowhere." "Home, I guess." "Why?" " The pump has broken." "Wanna come?" "The one at the sluice?" " The one near the mills on the meadow." "Shit!" "Who the hell is going to pay for that?" "Let's deduct a quarter." "What an idiot." ""Who the hell is going to pay for that?" I'll change my clothes." "Give it to me." " Catch!" "That's good." "Here!" "We're going to the pump." "I'll call at 6 o'clock." "Your boyfriend, huh?" "The noise gives it away." "Yes, motorcycles are terribly noisy." "Let me see." "Sorry." "I think Poul went to fix the pump." "He goes there most days." "Yes, there's always a problem with it." " I don't think it can be profitable." "I think it's going to be rebuilt." " Yes, I've heard the same." "Like that." "Anything to read, Mrs Christiansen?" " Yes, Femina." "We've got that one." "There's a fine knit waistcoat in it." "On page 50, I think." "There is?" "Look." "Chic?" " Rather chic." "Thanks." "There you go." " Thanks." "There's usually a pike down here." "Remember the big one you caught in the spring?" "It isn't there." " You should rather catch eels." "We can put up traps by the sluice." " Yes." "Lorentzen has put one in the bend." " There?" "Yes." "No, it wasn't there." " Oh." "He has stopped the leak." "I think the new one from the folk high school will be on the team tonight." "Do you think she knows how to play handball?" "Poul!" "Here's my old wellie." " Impossible." "You lost it at the bridge." "Then it must have floated here." "Look, it's your patch." "So it is." "Such rusty junk." "Poul, can't we use the mill instead?" "Can't we start it?" "What?" " Can't we start the mill instead?" "No, don't." "It's totally rotten." "Look, Poul, it can." " I told you not to!" "Don't go up there." "Come down, Carl-Henning!" " Look, Poul." "Watch the wing." "What are you doing?" " It's dangerous." "Come down, man." "Are you nuts?" "You'll destroy it." "Why the hell do you do it?" "I've got it." " Hold it firm, Poul." "Just hold the other wing." "How dare you start it." "It could break and knock down everything." "Damn punk." "Hold it." " It turns anyway." "Firmer!" " That's good." "I've got it now." "One would have to think you are completely nuts." "Such horseplay!" "Don't do that again!" "Can I help you?" "There." "I was almost not able to stop it." "Why do it?" "I'd just told you not to." " I didn't know..." "The wing is botched now..." "Can you pour for a while?" " Sure." "Like that." "That's fine." "Is it ready?" " I think it's fine." "Let's see if this junk will run." "Are you ready?" "Sure." "It's thirsty, huh?" "Yes!" " It bloody works." "Yes." " It's all good." ""What's this horseplay?" "Don't do that again!"" "It'd still turn if I hadn't been here." " It worked." "You aren't in your right mind, man." "Poul." " Yes?" "Kirsten is on the phone." " What?" "Great." "Tell her I'll be there in 30 minutes." "You're splashing!" "What are we having?" " Just wait." "Go up, little Poul." "We're eating." "Poul, can you help me?" " Come in!" "We're eating now." "Get dressed." "And hurry." " Yes, will do." "Granny, are you asleep?" "We're eating now." "No..." "Look what I've made for Kirsten in art class." "You're good..." "She'll be thrilled, I'm sure." "What's it for?" "Say, is it an ashtray?" "Or for flowers?" " Yes." "We're eating." " We're coming." "Then suddenly..." "I started it, and I went round with it." "You aren't in your right mind." " Melsing was there." "He got very angry." "You know how to find trouble." " Well, I'll go and eat." "Yes, see you at the handball match." " Yes, bye." "Thanks." "You'll stay home for once." "I've promised Poul and Kirsten to come to the handball match." "Handball match?" "!" "I've promised to come." "So?" "That's more important, huh?" " Do you always have to argue?" "No!" "Carl-Henning?" "One half?" " A small one." "Yes." "Thanks." "It's some nice pork you've made, mom." "I'm taking the hog to Lars Nissen." "All I ask of the kid is to help me get the hog into the truck." "It's says there a dance at Ballumhus on next Saturday." "Help your father with the hog." "You know he can't handle it with his bad heart." "Just do it." "Yes, yes." "Hold it, Carl-Henning." "Wrong direction." "It was easier when you had chicken, dad." " Shut up with the nonsense." "No..." "It's unwieldy." "Yes!" "Damn good!" " Great, man." "Poul, the little blond one isn't so bad?" "Wow, she's good." " Yes, it's great." "Get started again." "Stop that undisciplined play." "It's no good." "Get started again." "Get out of the field!" "Here!" "To me!" "Over here." "Shoot!" "Come on" " Shoot!" "Out, out." "Penalty." " Sussie shoots." "You!" "Apologise." " Can't you see..?" "What's kind of play is that?" " Yes, bad play." "Shoot!" "Well done." "Good, Kirsten." "Kirsten, Kirsten, Kirsten!" " Over here." "Take it." " Shoot!" "Goal!" "We won." "Bye." " Thanks for the game." "Hey, Poul." "Well done." " Yes, good, right?" "10-8." "We need to leave." "My sister is coming tonight." " Bye." " Bye, Kirsten." "A pretty good game?" " Yes, it was." "A nice goal." "Hi." "But that's Danny Kaye." "You like sodas, huh?" "Do you want it back?" " Thanks." "You can't really handle her, huh?" "You can have another gulp." " I don't want more." "Keep it." "But you can." "It's 8 o'clock." "Should I do the butter?" " Yes." "It's still leaking." "Sure." "It isn't a railing." "Do it properly, boy." "Oh, like that." "You can use your hands, right?" " Yes." "Whoops, it died out for me again." "Shouldn't get one of these?" " No." "It's odd he doesn't have to hand over the big battery." "The pump is nothing but trouble." "Maybe he didn't design it." "Sure, he did." " Well, we'll see with time." "Hi." " Hi, grocer." "Say, when is my car ready?" " Tomorrow at noon, I think." "Tomorrow?" "No, I need it today." " We don't have time." "I'll buy a beer if I get it today." "I'll get it done, but you'll need a new silencer." "New?" "That totally unnecessary." " It's completely corroded." "Poulsen, the grocer has promised a beer." " Yes." "Møller, run to the huckster for beers." "Get two small Kings for me." " I need money." "Yes, come here." "And fast, right?" "We have to start now if we are to make it." "Hurry, you." " I will." "Yes?" "No, not today." "There are beers now." " Do you have a opener?" "Where are the cigarettes?" " I forgot them." "How much does it cost?" " Dunno, what do you think?" "No..." "Everyone has his own price." " Fine. 750 kroner." "7?" " Yes!" "You can get 4." " No." "You'll get 4." "Fine, you'll get 4.5" " No." "No." "I want 7, and you offer 4." "Halfway?" "No." "Then 4.25." " No." "Take the offer." "Then 4.5." " No." "No." "No, 5." " I see?" "4.5." " 5." "You can try it." "Are you going to the gravel pit on Sunday?" "Of course." "How are things going with Sussie?" "What the hell is this mess?" "Out you go!" "Out!" "It wasn't my fault." " I don't want here anymore today." "Dammit!" "Good you came." "The Registration Office called." "You must bring all the papers." "Hi." " I was sent home from the dairy." "Why?" " Just because I spilt a little milk." "Milk?" "You've spilt 100 l." " I just grabbed a wrong handle." "Or, I stood like this and couldn't see, and then it came." "Then he get all mad." "He didn't want to see me more today." " You've gotten another day off." "I'll work on the car." " It's on the table." "It's right here." "Your bearings have arrived from Århus." " Where are they?" "Wanna see them?" "They're on the table next to the bills." "Oh, it looks good." " I hope you know how to insert it." "Do you think the car breaker has a brake drum?" "Don't pay what he demands." "You know how he cheats you." "I think it should be fine." "I think if you look in the pile by the fence..." "Right?" "Bye." "Hi." "Bye the way, do you have a brake drum?" " Yes, I have." "I have one near the house." " That's great." "We can have a look at it." " Yes, let's." "Have a look." "Maybe they've got kids." "Do they?" " Yes." "Hi." " Yes, they doing alright there." "What about the carburettor you know I'm also missing?" "Let's see if we can find one." " It'll be done this summer then." "Is that alright?" " How much?" "30 kroner." "It's cheap." "Only for you." "Hi." " Hi." "Someone has taken my rear view mirror." "Damn, it's was a great one." "I can't get out." "You can have a ride in it when it's done." "Can you get a stone to straighten this out?" "Yes." "That's great." "What the fudge." "What's that racket you're making?" "Why are you home now?" "The manager sent me home because I happened to spill some milk." "What's that supposed to mean?" " It just happened." "Have it come to that?" "And at home you don't want to do anything!" "You've got time for shenanigans and play..." "Oh, just leave him." "Yes, defend the boy." "You've always done that, you old loony." "One must think this is a damn nut house." "Here, you'll get some too." "Hi Carl-Henning." " I can't do the rehearsal tonight." "You knew it yesterday." " No." "The others know their parts;" "and then I have to tend the pigs." "There's no time for "shenanigans and play."" "Come, then I'll listen to you." " Can you start from the mark there which says "Mette"." "There." " Where? "Mette," yes." "Come on." "Read." " Yes, yes." ""Oh, how fortunate;" "my turn has come at last."" ""She gives Jesper the bowl"" " Don't read that." "She does that, OK?" "Just read what they say." " Alright." "I'll try again." ""Of no champion's epigram I can contrive."" "What does "epigram" mean, Carl-Henning?" " I don't know." "Just read." "Yes. "Master Jesper!" "Maidservant." She stabs herself, it says. "Stabs herself?"" ""Wherefore should Mette die?" "Of that I see no need;" ""but since they all are dead, I too must do the deed."" "You're good, Carl-Henning." ""Ye, in future years, who these sad scenes shall tear," ""hear" - "hear"" ""If ye our corpses view, yet never shed a tear,.."" ""Ye, in future years, who these sad scenes shall tear... hear," ""If ye our corpses view, yet never shed a hear,.."" ""Tear," you switch them again." " I can't." "Come on." " "As flints will be your hearts."" ""As flints will be your hearts."" "The waistcoat doesn't fit." " We'll fix it later." "It's a rehearsal." "We need to have it mended." " You'll get another one." "Now let's..." "Thou must tell it plainly;" "were virtue and I not once joined?" "What do I say next?" "I can't help but think you're not crying sufficiently." "Alright, then I'll try again." " There isn't..." "It lacks a pinch of affliction, a pinch of weeping." "No, I..." "It says you must be weeping, right?" "You'll die and such, right?" "Yes, but do I..." " It must be more tragic." "Good evening, Carl-Henning." "You're late again." "Oh, there you are." "Good you finally came." "Before you tell Mette..." "According to..." "You have a conviction." "Where is Mette standing?" "Mette doesn't really do much here." "She's just standing and looking on during the long line." "I guess Mette will stand on the opposite site." "Mette must keep to her mood, I'd almost say." "Madam, I am lustful." "A thief, lustful, a buck." "I have disgraced thee - but - thou art revenged - adieu!" "Then..?" "You'll say: "Oh, woeful torment."" "Then it'd be more Wessel-like to say to the audience: "He dies."" "Well, not too fast." "Oh, woeful torment." "He dies." " No, that's too fast." ""He dies." And only turn a very little." "It that kind of old-fashioned comedy." "They almost think the audience is in." "Go onto the stage." " The costume sits rather tight." "What do I do?" "We'll do the last ones, right." "Jesper's last ones." "Come on." "Wherefore should Mette die?" "Of that I see no need;" "but since they all are dead, I too must do the deed." ""Ye, in future years..."" "What?" " "Ye, in..."" "Ye, in future years, who these sad scenes shall tear, if ye our corpses view, yet never shed a hear, as flints will be your hearts." "But all hearts are not stone;" "our deaths may generations yet unborn bemoan." ""To those who sympathise..."" "To those who sympathise in our distress" "I will bequeath a parting wish, before myself I kill:" "Oh!" "May..." "May..." "You have to stand there." "Oh!" "May thy fortunes be better than I crook;" "Talk down to the audience." "It must be like that, right?" "And think when you speak, right?" "Let your eyes and movements accompany it." "When you've said: "Ye, in future years, who these sad scenes shall hear," ""If ye our corpses view,..." right?" "You'll look down a bit, and no more." ""...yet never shed a tear,"" "Sure, I'll do it." " Isn't he a bit..." "You can't say it up into the painted sky." "It's audible." "I yell loudly." " Yes..." "But you could..." " Now I do it..!" ""...but since they all are dead, I too must do the deed."" "It doesn't work." " It has to be our turn now." "If you tried to read it?" " I have read it." "It's Wessel we're performing after all." "Try a bit harder, will you?" "And you'll remember it?" " Yes." "Then we must do it properly." "Can we do it?" "Sure." " Good." "Do everyone die in the centre of the stage?" "You can't all pile up over there." " No." "Now he'll also die, and there are already two corpses." "They're all dead." "And you'll also die in the end." "Then there will be four corpses, and the curtain comes." "That's it." "Let me take it." "I'll take it." " What?" "Alright." " Hi." "Hi Poul." "Could you have a look at it?" "The clutch slips." "Start it so I can hear how it sounds." "I'll go for a couple of rounds." "What do you think?" " We have to adjust it." "It's dragging in second gear." "I'll fix it." "It's runs pretty good, but something is wrong with the clutch." "Otherwise it runs fine." "It's run with a real roar." "These are not so gooey 'cos they have a chocolate coat." "It's too cold for ice cream." "Can I..." " You can borrow my jacket." "You need a bigger engine." "Bigger!" "It doesn't pull." "I can't afford that." "Let me try." "Anything for me?" " Yes." "Let's go to Emmerlev Klev and have coffee." "No, Poul, that's too far." " Shut up and come." "It'll be nice?" " Yes." "I dropped my shoe, Poul." " I want chocolate." "There." "trapped in the sluice you hear a melody from the stifled motion of the seas and the girl she dances dances in a circle on the grey-blue grass of the seas" "when the sluice breaks open the mill turns and the dance of death follows now they dance two now they dance three and the fool he dances along and the girl she dances dances in a circle and the fool he dances along" "now they dance two now they dance three and the fool he dances along" "Can I borrow your spoon?" " Yes, here." "And he loves to go to the sea when there's a storm." "Three times a day." "I can see it from my window." "Do we sit by the window?" " No, I prefer the other side." "Sit down." " Are you going to sit there?" "Yes, I guess." " It's terribly cold." "Hello." " What would you like, Carl-Henning?" "What do you want, Poul?" " Well..." "Can we have the menu?" "What do you have?" " Coffee, tea, chocolate and soda." "I want coffee, tea, chocolate and soda." " Coffee?" "What do you want?" " Something with cream." "Poul, don't do that." "Poul..." "Stop that..." " Look at him!" "I'd like two muffins and a red soda." " Fine." "Good." "Can we smoke here, waitress?" " Yes." "What do you want?" "Make up your mind." " Do you have fire?" "Behave yourselves." "What do you want, Poul?" "I'd like a bit of fire, waitress." "Poul!" "If you don't behave I'll leave." " What do you have?" "Why don't we have 3..." " I want coffee." "How about 3 coffee?" " ..and layer cake." "Behave." " Chocolate for me." "You want coffee, Poul?" " Coffee and sugar." "Then 2 coffee and 1 chocolate with cream." "What do you want to eat?" " Layer cake." "Sorry, we don't have it." " Something else?" "We have an excellent kringle." " 1 piece of excellent kringle." "Yes." " Me too." "3 pieces of kringle?" " 3 pieces of excellent kringle." "2 coffee, 1 chocolate and 3 kringle." "May I play the piano?" "I think I'd rather have chocolate..." "Can't we fetch the nice lady." "Why are you so ridiculous?" "That's unfair." "Marie, come here, will you?" "Can't you make Carl-Henning come here, Poul." "Carl-Henning?" " Come here." "A strange behaviour." " We're leaving, Marie." "I just need the rest." " Come." "That's stupid; you have one year left." " Where's the cream?" "But..." " You have to finish it." "Look!" "This cream comes from that place." "Look!" "What kind of cream is this..." "It's way too hard." "What is it?" "Don't make such a mess, Carl-Henning." "You such a fool." "Chocolate?" " No." "I'd rather..." "Well, give it to me." "I ordered that." "Never mind." "I can have some." " That's not allowed." "Say, why don't you bring Sussie from the folk high school to the dance?" "Poul, you have to remember to get my immersion heater tonight." "Yes..." " We have to remember it." "Immersion heater..!" " Will you drink much coffee in Aalborg?" "Of course he will." "It'll be nice to have in the evenings." "That grumpy geezer!" "Let go of me, Poul." "Bye Carl-Henning." "See you tomorrow." "Put me down." "Turn on the lights!" " I have." "You're crazy, Poul." "What if anyone had seen us?" "I better find the immersion heater now, so you wont forget it." "Remember to turn it off so it wont be ruined, right?" "Poul, not tonight." "I'm so tired." ""No, thou knowest more."" ""On this day..."" ""...no one hath any stockings."" ""Grete's husband shall be..." "Grete's husband shall be..."" ""Grete's husband..."" "Carl-Henning?" "Good morning." "What time is it?" " Five to five." "Hurry up, Carl-Henning." "I'm hurrying" "Hurry up, will you." "Hurry." "Do you want jam?" " No." "It's too hot." " It is?" "You can have another cup then." "Hurry up now." " Yes." "Come here." "Hurry up, my friend." " I'll be there on time." "I'll get your bread and butter." "There, take it." "Bye Carl-Henning." " Bye mom." "Hi." "This must be sent to Aalborg." "Is that your job?" "Yes, it is." " That's good." "As..?" " Luggage." "One moment." " Great." "Hi." " Hello." "Are you leaving tomorrow?" " Yes." "Where will you work in Aalborg?" "Do you remember Dyna-Viggo?" "The one who injured his legs?" "Oh, at him?" " Yes." "That's great." "How about Kirsten?" "She'll come in November." "When she's done at Ingeborg's." "She's got a position with a hairdresser in Nørresundby." "What's that?" " I've..." "What?" "Bye." " Good luck." "You too." "How's your mother's back?" " It's rather good." "Please come into the warmth." " Hi." "Hi, Poul." " I saw Sussie in Højer today." "Please sit down." "Should I take her to the dance?" " Sure, do that." "Do you want another one?" " Have a muffin, Carl-Henning." "Muffin?" "No..." "You can't have muffins and pastry at the same time." "Pass the pot, Carl-Henning?" "Poul has gotten such a nice room." "We've seen it." "That'll be interesting." " That's a good." "And Kirsten has made drapes." "I took the measurements." "It would be a shame it they didn't fit." "He was made for the role as white clown." " I haven't heard about that." "Oh, Poul, look how he munches." "The carpenter wants to speak." " No, no." "No, it's not because I want to make a speech." "But the reason why we're here is of course because Poul is leaving." "And it's natural that a father wishes to give his son some words for his journey." "It's..." "It's something we've talked about often anyway, man to man." "I hope you're going to like it in Aalborg." "And write home often." "And come home often." "Right, Kirsten?" "Yes." " And then..." "You know some people say:" ""Never does a man lose knowledge."" "Cheers." " Cheers, Poul." "Thanks for your time at the garage." "You'll be difficult to replace." "Good luck in Aalborg." " Cheers, my boy." "You must try to find one as good." "...and the kids had put the sitting hens into a big sack of grain." "About five or six of them suffocated." "Good sitting hens, chum..." "Those horrible kids." "All the sitting hens..." " Give Carl-Henning a glass of liquor." "Do you want another one?" " Yes please." "There." "Thank you." " Wait a bit, will you." "Cheers" " Cheers." "Drive careful, Poul." "Call when you get there." "Hi." "Are you leaving now?" " I wanted to say hi before I left." "The garage is going to shut down." "Maybe I'll go to the race on the fifteenth." "Then we can meet." "Else we'll meet when I come for Kirsten." "Have fun." "Golden luxury..." "No, I don't want that." "I want Vanilla..." "No..." "Chubby..." "Cocktail..." "Can I have a Nuggi-boat?" "It's a cream ice with a coat of genuine soft nougat." "Yummy!" "No, I don't want ice cream." "Do you know where Sussie lives?" " Upstairs." "Excuse me." "I thought Sussie was here." " She doesn't have class." "Entrez." "Enter, God dammit!" "Hi." " Hi." "But that's Carl-Henning." "Hi to you." "Do you want to sit down?" " Thank you." "Hi." "Can I tempt you with a refreshment?" " Thanks." "But it really is Carl-Henning." "Hi." "Hi Carl-Henning." " Hi." "I wanted to ask you..." " Close the door." "Do you want to go to the dance on Saturday?" "I really want to, but I must go home this weekend." "This one?" "You really have to." "It's a blast to go out with Carl-Henning." "Who's playing?" " I want to..." "Preben and Allan." "Oh, the ones from Alan Price Set?" " No, from the grocer's." "Then you have to go." "They're from the grocer's." "I really want to, but I have to go home." "Can't you tell them you'll come later?" " No, I can't." "It really is a shame." "Turn it down, turd!" "An opener might be a good idea?" " He's stupid." "I thought so." "What does Carl-Henning do?" " I'm at the dairy." "Try a glass." "Cheers, Carl-Henning." " Cheers." "Bye Carl-Henning." " Are you leaving so soon?" "Carl-Henning has to leave now." " I have to leave now." "Bye." " Wait, I'll see you out." "I'll help you get rid of that." " Thanks." "It was nice of you, but I can't come." "See you another time." " Yes, we will." "Say hi at the dairy." " Ciao." "Bye." "My!" "You're so stupid." " Where did you meet that guy?" "On the playing field." "You were really mean to him." "He was just super." " He was pretty fancy." "Oh, I feel so sorry for him." "He's so cute." "Get those cookie arms down, will you?" "I think you've had one beer too many tonight." "Leave it." "What's keeping Sussie?" "I thought you said she'd come." "Aren't you going to get her?" "At it, Karl Børge!" "Get out here and dance." "Step on it, Karl Børge." "Don't sit there and drink all those beers." "Dance instead." "Don't be such a lazy toad." "Go and fetch the money, dammit." " Yes, yes." "Get the money now." " Don't push me." "You promised to get them a long time ago." "You come here with 10 kroner... and drink yourself silly without a dime..." "I'll go." " Go!" "Bye." "It's rough play..." "Are you leaving?" " Sure." "I'll come back." "I'll come back." "Someone is in the dairy." "90 kroner." "You'll get them back tomorrow, Christiansen." "Bloody damn!" "Old bastard." "What the hell are you doing here?" " Nothing." "I just wanted To what?" " I just wanted to borrow some money." "Oh, that's how it is!" "You've come to steal!" "No..." " Then we'll go to the police." "And you're even drunk." " No, I'm just a little happy." " Don't..." " Bloody thief!" "I'll teach you." "Mom." "I've killed the dairy manager, mom." "What are you saying?" " He's lying on the floor in the dairy." "Carl-Henning!" " I just wanted to get some money." "Now they're after me." "They wont believe it was an accident." "No, my boy!" "Wait here." "Go on." "It your turn to shoot, I think." "Go ahead." "Say, why don't you come with us?" "Where are you going?" " For a ride." "I've got a car." "We'll go to a dance;" "after you've closed down." "Don't you want to?" " No, I don't think so." "Bring the girl from the other booth." "It'll be a blast." "The girl over there?" " Her?" "No, she doesn't have time." "No, the girl to the right." "That'll warm her." "Don't run off." "We'll pick you up." " Let's see." "We thank you for your visit." "Welcome back tomorrow." "Good night ladies and gentlemen." "Sleep well, and think of us when you wake up." "Good night Hans." " Go to sleep." "Is anyone out there?" " I can't see anyone." "Are you sure it's here?" " It's over here." "Hey, here." "Dammit, make a move." " I need time to consider it." "Four." " Bare ass." "There was one." "Get the pot." "Four." " Five." "Joiner cock." "Three." "Do you think the bumpkin can stand the gaff?" "Come on, dammit." "In second position:" "the South African Trevor Blokdyk, and in third position:" "the fast Swede Ingmar Petterson." "The Danes are positioned far down." "Kurt Bøgelund is the best positioned, then Jørgen Ellekjær and Bjarne Vestergaard is in the middle." "He is new." "They're driving fast in the corner." "Hey, hey!" "Where are you going?" "Get the ambulance." " Hey, over here!" "Turn off the gas!" " Can we get some help over here?" "Get the ambulance over here." "The red flag has be hoisted." "That's the first time ever on a Danish racetrack." "The race managers tell the drivers to go to the pit." "Understandably there's confusion on the track at the moment." "But the race is over." "We don't know if it will be re-started." "We await further information from the race managers." "Over." "Hi Poul." "Don't interfere." " Go back to Sweden." "You lousy Swede!" "Let us handle it." " Let go of me." "He can't drive like that here." "Hi Poul." "What are you doing here?" " Two of them crashed." "What happened?" "We don't know yet." "Does anyone know you're here?" "No." "Can I stay with you?" " No." "The cops have asked about you." "What do I do?" " What are you messing with?" "!" "It was just the dairy manager who began to hit me, and then I stood up, and..." "I'll try to find a place you can stay." " I just wanted to borrow 90 kroner." "Why do you run off?" "That doesn't make things better." "Can you help me with..." " Ellekjær is looking for you." "Do you know where he can stay for a few days?" "He's wanted." "He can stay with Fatty Kai." "I can write down the address if you have a pen." "There it is." " Now!" "I'll be there in a moment." "Here." "Just say hi from Nancy." " Good." "You better run off." "I think there will be trouble." "I'll visit you as soon as possible." " Sure." "Bye Poul." "We regret to inform you that the drivers do not wish to resume the race." "This is a completely unprecedented event for a Danish racetrack." "We are negotiating with a representative of the drivers which we hope will succeed." "We'll report back from the tower when..." "For now, end of transmission." "Excuse me, do you know..." " No." "You know where Kai Christoffersen lives?" " No." "Does Kai Christoffersen live here?" " On the first floor." "Don't you hear the doorbell?" "Then open the bloody door." "Hello." "I met Nancy on the racetrack and she told me..." "Who is it?" " It's Carl-Henning." "Someone called Carl-Henning." "Nancy sent him." "Carl-Henning?" "Don't know the guy." " Hello." "It's..." "I've just talked to Nancy." "She said I could stay here because the cops are after me;" "so she gave me the address." "Nancy?" "What a nice acquientance..." "She's hospitable at the expense of others." "Oh." "Oh." " Oh?" "Yes, you're saying "oh"." "Does the trees have leaves?" " What?" "I said "Does the trees have leaves?"" " Yes, I guess there are." "Are there any means." " Oh!" "There are..." "There are six means." "A word of advice:" "I don't want any trouble here." "Wont be any." "Poul will go to Ballum..." " Sit down." "...and then he'll fix it." " Nancy is totally stupid." "Ballum?" "Where the hell is Ballum?" " 12 km from Skærbæk." "Skærbæk?" "Don't know where it is." "Down near Tønder." " Tønder?" "You ought to give him something to eat." "Heat the damn gravy." "It's ice cold." " Cranky bastard." "My friend from Ballum, Poul, has become a mechanic on the racetrack." "The racetrack?" "Someone was killed..." "Well, I don't know." "Poul told me to leave in a hurry because there would be trouble." " There's just about trouble everywhere." "Don't we get anything to drink." "Get us two beers." "I actually think I'd prefer a soda..." " A beer and a soda then." "...because last time I had beers was at the dance in Ballum and then we suddenly because tipsy and couldn't afford it and then I went to the dairy and borrowed 90 kroner" "Borrowed, you said?" " Sure." "Then the dairy manager came." "We began to fight and I tipped him." "I'm surrounded by a fine kindergarten..." "Here." "Thank you." "That Prince Richard is pretty handsome?" " Who?" "Him?" "He looks like Egon from Ballum." " You know someone like that?" "Yes, his name is Egon." "What does he do?" " He's a farmhand." "Can't you get him to come here?" " Why?" "No reason." "Turn on the radio." " Yes." "Hi." "Is Kai home?" " He's lying in there." "Albert has come." "Wake up, will you?" "Hello Kai." "What does your father do?" " He's a customs officer." "Hi guys." "So you're visiting?" "Have a seat." "Do you want coffee?" " Thanks." "Connie?" "Bring two more cups." " Yes." "Alright." "How are things?" " Quiet." "You know..." "Do we talk or make business today?" " Yes, that's right." "I've got your packet." " I only need four packets this week." "What's happened?" " Five guys have been laid off." "Gee..." "It's that bloody new government." " Yes." "More unemployment..." "I'll cancel two, then you can take it." "Yes, times were better with Krag." "Business was better back then." "Damn right." "But now they're all on welfare and that doesn't yield much." "That's Carl-Henning." "This is Albert and Dan." "Get the chair and sit down." "You're from Bælum, right?" " Yes, Ballum. 12 km from Skærbæk." "Then we're compatriots." "I'm from Sønder Hygum." "I know a old man there:" "Nissum Do you know him?" "Oh, yes." " The one with the old car." "I know him because I've got a race car which I'm working on." "It'll likely become one of the best race cars in Southern Jutland." "This is my street in Aalborg." "You can count on that." "Poulsen." "And here in the cleaners..." "Hi." " Watch it." "You need a peach, my boy." "Here." " Thanks." "You're not used to those in Bælum?" "I tell you, Runos will win it today." " How do you know?" "I'll tell you; this guy knows the fraudsters well." "Look at that." "That's the one." "These cigarettes are not expensive." "You have to help regular people get some cheap smoke." "You can have 10 for both." " Thank you." "That's all there is today." "Have you seen the butcher apprentice?" "He empties that machine all day long." "That's also a way to make money." "Are you sure it's alright?" " It'll be fine." "Get Carl-Henning?" "Sure, I'll hurry up there and tell him he can return home." "It takes 5-6 hours to get there." "Aren't you going to wear the helmet?" " Yes, when I get to Viborg." "Thank you for helping, dad." "Call his mother, and say hi to mom and Kirsten." "Bye." "Fathers-in-law, where's Poul going?" "And why was he home?" "I've talked to the dairy manager, so Carl-Henning can return home." "He went to take him back home." "Come and visit us tonight, will you?" "Open the door." "Hi." " Hi." "Where's Poul?" "Did you hit him?" "Come." "Do you have a beer?" " Yes." "Do you want one as well?" " No, not right now." "Who the hell do you think you are?" "!" " Shut up, girl." "Carl-Henning, come here." "We're doing business now." "We're leaving." "Come on." "Where did you put the opener?" " In that bowl." "Oh, how I want to go home to my place of origin" "Stop it, man." "You look so tragic." "No, nothing is wrong." "Thanks." "Well, cheers." "Cheers." " He's all disillusioned." "When do you think Poul will come?" "Hear that?" "A great singer has been lost for the world in me." "You think so?" " Yes, you bet." "We're going out on business." " I have to wait for Poul." "It'll be more fun than sitting here when those two." "Get up." "It's not them." "But if Poul comes..." " We'll be back in an hour." "He'll be here before that." " We're going now." "Come on." "You think we can make it?" " Yes, we'll be here when he comes." "You don't have to bring him back." "Hi." " That took a while." "I know, but it's far." "We're going to Kurt." " Yes, but where's Carl-Henning?" "Out doing business with my father." " Business?" "What kind of business?" "Dammit!" "He said he'd stay here." "I've travelled so far to fix things..." "That's bloody annoying." "Come, Poul." " I have to wait for him here." "I promised his mom to have him call." "She's been very upset after he ran off." "If you feel obliged to be that patsy's nanny we'll go without you." "Don't be angry, honey." "Give me the keys;" "I'll wait here." "What are we going to do here?" " Shut up and follow me." "Hi." "Hi." " Hi." "Who's the young gentleman Christoffersen brought along?" "Fatty, who's the dud?" "Don't call me "Fatty", you know that." " What do you weigh?" "I don't want it, you know that." "Quiet." "Let me tell you this: we agreed..." " Shut up." "I don't..." "Who are you?" " Carl-Henning." "For you own sake I hope you know how to keep shut." "Do you even trust yourself?" " You bet I do." "Shut up!" "Damn, it's a new captain." "Move, God dammit." "Hey!" "You can carry one more." "Get a move on." "Speed up." "Don't you have any booze today?" "Rubbish!" "We can't even get a drink." "How many there are left?" "Get all of them over here." "Get them into the light." "What the hell, it's nothing but Look." "Can't you bring some proper goods?" "Hurry up!" "We need to be gone in 20 minutes." "Come on, move it." "Come on, Christoffersen." " Yes." "Open one of the boxes so I can check it." "Have you emptied the rear hold?" "What the hell!" "Are you just watching?" "Get moving!" "Don't do that." "You all behave like pigs." "That enough!" "I really think you are a pig." "Maybe you should find another job." "Move!" " We'll discuss it later." "I'll remember." "What do I do?" " Get those boxes into the car." "Take the boxes to the car!" "We're done." "Help!" "I've sinking." "Help!" "Go onto the crane, man!" " Carl-Henning!" "Come on!" " It's goddamn deep here." "Is he under the chains?" " You can't reach him there." "You pushed him, you bastard!" "Who do you think you are, you fat pig?" "Come here." "I'll get you." "Stay here." "We can handle it." " He wont make it." "He'll drown." " Get a boat." "Fatty left." "Pack your things." "There has been a drowning accident." "You must come immediately." "Carl?" "Good evening." "Are you Christoffersen?" "I shouldn't have brought him here tonight."
