THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL

Written, edited and directed by
AKI KAURISMÄKI

The attack by the People's
Army into Tiananmen Square-

has crushed the resistance
of unarmed students-

and claimed hundreds dead.

A gas pipeline explosion on
the Trans-Siberian Railway-

has wrecked two trains,
killing almost 700 people.

Iran's religious leader
Ayatollah Khomeini has died.

Good evening. The students'
demonstration in Beijing-

has ended in a massacre.

Heavily armed troops
have evidently killed-

hundreds of students during
last night and this morning.

Armed with tanks and
automatic weapons-

the troops stormed
the Square last night-

crushing the resistance
ofthe unarmed students.

The tanks smashed their way
through the barricades-

but, trapped, one tank got
to feel the people's wrath.

Failing in opening it
like a tin can-

it was set on fire.
But the triumph was short-lived:

More tanks appeared, followed
by troops with fixed bayonets.

Tents were burned down or
crushed under the tanks.

The Goddess of Liberty
crashed down-

and in the square people
realised: this was the end.

Somewhere beyond the ocean
There is a land

Where warm waves softly caress
lts ever-happy sands

All kinds of wonderful flowers
Are forever in bloom

No cares, no worries there,
No troubles, and no gloom

Oh, if only I could reach
That dreamland some day

Then I'd never, ever fly
From that paradise away

But no, unlike the birds
I'm a prisoner of this earth

And only in my dreams alone
I can see that blessed turf

Hurry away now, my song,
Fly to that land of dreams

Where my sweet darling
Faithfully waits for me

Hurry away now, my song,
Like a speeding bird

Tell my love that I am
Only thinking about her

Oh, if only I could reach
That dreamland some day

Then I'd never, ever fly
From that paradise away

But no, unlike the birds
I'm a prisoner of this earth

And only in my dreams alone
I can see that blessed turf

...causes provocations against
the Island of Liberty...

...the adopted decisions
made Washington nervous...

...on Monday, just after...
on Monday...

...Baker called
the President of Costa-Rica...

...according to Washington Post...

...to express his discontent...

A small beer.

The Pope, head of
the Roman Catholic Church -

and the Vatican State
on a yet another visit-

welcomed by an oppressive heat.

The Pope has already visited
some 80 countries.

After the Scandinavian tour,
the only West European-

countries missing from the list
are Monaco, Malta and Andorra.

His Scandinavian tour has
attracted a lot of attention.

An estimated 600 journalists
are said to follow the visit.

China's People's Army has
tightened its hold on Beijing.

Tanks have been placed at
vital traffic junctions-

and more tanks have rolled
into Tiananmen Square.

Today in central Beijing,
troops fired wildly at civilians.

According to Chinese sources,
also Army units have clashed-

at least in two districts
in Beijing.

Today, the lone man who stopped
a tank column by defiantly-

standing in its way became
a symbol of the resistance.

Whore.

Take it back.

A shower.
- Eight marks.

Call me

Iris

Eat.

Thanks.

You could visit home some day.

Is that man still there?

And you support them.

In a way. I pay rent.

Forget it. Eat.

When my call comes,
can I take it in the dressing room?

Sure.

Congratulatios.
Mother.

Babe, your presence
Means the world to me

The other guys think you're
Not what a girl should be

But though you may not
Be the ideal thing

You've got that something, babe

Your smile makes
It all worthwhile

So easily you can outshine
The brightest stars

For me, your shining eyes
Turn each day into spring

You've got that something, babe

I'm always dreaming
Of your kiss

Now that's something
I don't want to miss

Happiness just can't go on....

Hi.

What is it?

I thought I'd like to see you.

Not today.

I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight.
Give me the address.

44, Factory Lane, the courtyard.

Iris will be ready in a minute.

How is it?
- Good.

Now if you think we've got
something lasting between us-

you're sorely mistaken.

Nothing could touch me less
than your affection.

Better run off now.

Nothing to worry about.

The test was positive,
you're pregnant.

I'm pregnant.
- Really?

Dearest Aarne-

I know you don't want to
see me or hear from me.

But there's something
I must write to you about.

My pregnancy test was positive,
so we are having a baby.

I'd prefer a girl, but if you
want a boy, I'll want one, too.

For a girl, you can buy
such pretty clothes-

and boys are always interested
in rough games like ice hockey.

I don't know how you'll take
this but I do hope that you-

wouldn't leave us all alone
when the baby is born.

I hope that you'll come and
see us in the hospital-

although it's far too early yet,
as it's not due until March.

I think you have the right
to be the first to know this.

You are, anyway,
the father of our child.

Even if you could never
truly love me I think-

that the child will bring you
much joy as it grows older-

as it will for me.

I'll bring this to you myself to
prevent it getting into wrong hands.

Promise to answer me when
you've thought about it.

I believe it will all be for
the better and we'll yet-

realise that Destiny arranged
this surprise for our best-

although it may first come
to you as a shock.

Regards, Iris.

Get rid of the brat.

You've brought
your mother great pain.

We both hope you'll find
yourself another home.

Is that all?

Yes.

Here' the key.
I'll be back in the evening.

Rat poison.

Small or large?
- Large.

What does this do?
- It kills.

Good.

A drink.

Ice.

I just came to say goodbye.

Everything' in order and
we won't meet again, ever.

You don't have to worry
about anything.

A large beer.

Come to eat.

Oh, how could you

Turn all my sweet dreams
Into idle fancies

My eyes beheld
The cold cruel land

My love's flower died
Frost killed my faith

When you give everything
Only to find disappointment

The burden of memories
Gets too hard to bear

The flower of love
Won't be shining now

Your cold eyes and your
Chilly smile has put it out

When you give everything
Only to find disappointment

The burden of memories
Gets too hard to bear

The flower of love
Won't be shining now

Your cold eyes and your
Chilly smile has put it out

Oh, how could you?
