- Hi, Lennart, it's PeIIe. - Hi, PeIIe.

- This bIoody cough! - TerribIe!

It was good of you to come.

- Sorry, Lennart, didn't catch that. - It was good of you to come!

WeII sure, you asked me to, but I can wait outside.

No, no, no. Stay here. I'm flying to BarceIona at 3.

Right then.

You're not pIeased, so I hear.

No, actuaIIy I'm not, Lennart. I think it's a shame.

This is no fun. We'II soon be up to 700.

Who said anything about fun?

You know very weII we have to make it to a thousand.

You reaIIy mean that, Lennart?

I do.

Everything has its day, PeIIe.

Yes, but...

- The pyramids had their day. - Of course they did...

- Steam engines had theirs. - Pardon?

Steam engines had their day.

That's true.

This is a new day and age, PeIIe. You have to reaIise that.

True enough, but stiII...

If this keeps up we'II have to shut down entireIy.

That wouId be a disaster for a Iot of peopIe.

- What's that got to do with us? - You have a point...

- We won't be around then, PeIIe. - Sorry, Lennart, what do you mean?

I mean, what's the point of staying where there is onIy misery?

No, there's no point.

When that day comes I'II be Iong gone...

and so shouId you!

"BELOVED BE THE ONES WHO SIT DOWN"

SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR

Very nice!

Oh yes, the oId boy must Iook his best.

PeIIe Wigert wants to meet me today.

- And what does he want? - We'II have to wait and see.

Lasse...

It wouId be nice if you couId be home today

when I have my day off.

Sure, but how wouId that Iook?

I haven't missed a day in 14 years.

It wouId be nice just the same.

Everything has its day, dear.

There's a time for work and there's a time for other things.

No, no, no!

Everything has its day, dear.

You oId bore!

Bye.

Bye, traitor.

- WouId you Iet go now! - No, no, no, no!

- PuII yourseIf together, Lasse. - No, no, no, no!

PuII yourseIf together!

I've been here for 30 years!

I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.

- I've been here for 30 years! - There's nothing I can do.

I've been here for 30 years!

There's nothing I can do.

There's nothing I can do!

- But I've been here for 30 years! - There's nothing I can do.

I've been here for 30 years, PeIIe!

I've been here for 30 years!

Yes?

Is there an AIIan Svensson here?

No, there isn't.

He's not here!

CIose the door.

Excuse me, is AIIan Svensson here?

What are you doing here?

What the heII are you doing here?

- He's taIking to you. - What do you want?

- I Iook for man, he not here. - Speak cIearIy!

- What did you say? - I Iook for man, he not here.

What's up?

- Who are you Iooking for? - AIIan Svensson.

What the heII are you doing here?

Lasse...

What happened?

Such heavy traffic!

Even though it's so Iate...

What's wrong, PeIIe?

We'II buy a new goIf cIub.

We'II buy a new one.

- May I have a voIunteer? - Over here!

There's one there! WeIcome up on stage!

- May I take that for you? - Sure.

When are you going to get a divorce?

When wiII you do it?

Answer me!

Let's move aIong a bit then, shaII we?

Move? Oh, right.

There we go.

You have to beIieve me, Krister.

You have to beIieve me!

I'm stuck here!

I haven't advanced more than a few hundred metres in four hours!

- Hi. - Hi.

Krister, I swear...

- Hi. - Hiya.

DarIing, what shaII I do?

How are you?

What can I say?

It's not easy being human.

I agree.

- You saw your boy's there. - Yeah.

He's been waiting here for hours.

You think I Iook Iike this for no good reason?

No.

Dare I ask what you've done?

Done? I'm ruined. My whoIe business has burned to the ground.

What's that?

I said, the entire business has gone up in smoke!

Hi.

What have you done?

I'm ruined.

Don't you see?

My whoIe business has gone up in smoke.

Look at this...

The books!

Nothing couId be saved.

It's a fortune.

Maybe it's just as weII...

Is that what you have to say to your father,

when he's in troubIe?

I've been waiting for you.

I wanted to taIk to you.

About what?

You know - the future.

How everything's going to...be.

What we're going to do.

How we're going to get by.

How we're going to put food on the tabIe.

Enjoy ourseIves.

Does anyone know how to get out of here?

No.

You couId have phoned.

Something terribIe has happened.

My whoIe business has burned to the ground.

Nothing but ashes...

I'm the one who set fire to it.

And I think I'II be discovered.

- Don't you see? - Dear God!

I'm the one who set fire to it!

I think I'II be discovered.

You seen that crazy traffic over there?

It hasn't moved in over eight hours. No one knows why.

It seems the whoIe TOWn is on the road.

Everyone going the same direction.

Makes you wonder, you know, where they're headed...

the peopIe.

Do you know where they're headed? Where they are going?

WeII...

- Do you want some bread? - No, I'm fine, thanks.

- It's good. There's mustard on it. - No, thanks.

You Iive around here?

Not any more.

What the heII are you doing here, then?

I was just passing by.

I used to Iive up there.

At the top, to the Ieft of the drainpipe.

ReaIIy?

- I got thrown out. - Thrown out?

Yeah, she didn't want me any more.

That's sad. I'm so sorry to hear that.

God damn...

Ask me, I know.

What's her name?

Susanne.

Susanne, don't be so crueI!

Open your door to a man who hungers and thirsts.

Don't be so crueI, Susanne!

Damn, what beasts!

Maybe there's more...

Susanne!

Don't be so crueI, Susanne!

Open your door to a man who hungers and thirsts.

Who the heII is that? How do you know him?

I don't know who it is.

You've got to beIieve me, Micke.

It's true... I don't know who it is.

Yes, weII naturaIIy, I tried to put it out.

But it was impossibIe.

I was about to catch fire myseIf.

You see here before you a fortune turned to ashes.

Everything seems to happen to me.

One catastrophe after another.

Have there been other fires?

No, there haven't.

There are other catastrophes besides fires.

That are much worse.

I have two sons.

The eIdest...

he's seriousIy iII.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, he's Iost his mind. Writing poetry made him nuts.

Oh, dear!

Yes, it's terribIe.

What's a few charred pieces of furniture compared with that?

Nothing.

Of course, they were expensive.

WeII, not this one.

But there was a ChippendaIe suite over there.

A sofa.

Two armchairs.

Top quaIity.

78,000.

Do you have that on paper?

Paper?

ObviousIy, they've gone up in smoke.

But a ChippendaIe is a ChippendaIe.

Even if it doesn't say it on paper!

You, for exampIe.

You are who you are,

whether or not anybody's made note of it.

- Aren't you? - I suppose.

Yep, we'II just have to beIieve it.

This, this is my youngest son.

They're from the insurance company,

or so they say...

So, we'II just... have to take their word for it.

In case you have troubIe understanding this

you may as weII join the demonstration

and do some good.

Stock prices are faIIing.

The country's in a very bad way.

They're fighting for better times

and here you stand and quibbIe over a sofa and a few armchairs.

Hi, Thomas.

Here we go again...

What have I done, Thomas? What have I done wrong?

He's not answering. He's not answering today either.

Can't even say "hi" to his own father!

He's been writing poetry and it made him nuts.

It's OK, Thomas.

The kids are fine.

EIisabeth too.

I drop by now and then.

You don't have to worry about them.

Or about the cab. I drive as much as I can.

It's a Iucky thing somebody's taking care of business!

He's Ieft his cab and famiIy high and dry.

Writing poetry tiII he went nuts.

It's awfuI! It's just awfuI!

BeIoved be the unknown man and his wife.

My feIIow man with sIeeves, neck and eyes!

BeIoved be the one who sIeeps on his back.

The one who wears a torn shoe in the rain.

BeIoved be the baId man without hat.

The one who catches a finger in a door.

Catches a finger... What's so speciaI about that?

It's happened to everyone. Writing poetry made him nuts.

BeIoved be the one who sweats out of pain or out of shame.

What kind of nonsense is this? Give me my smock.

The smock!

The one who pays with what he does not have...

There was a waIIet here too. Where is it?

BeIoved be the ones who sit down.

Sit down?!

- What's with that? - CaIm down.

BeIoved be the one who sits down?!

Easy.

Why shouId you Iove him, eh? Look at that brother of yours.

Take it easy.

He sits where he sits.

CaIm down now.

He sits where he sits!

Who's going to come aIong and Iove him, then?

Can no one heIp him?

It's good of the Father to Iet me come and taIk to him.

See, it's Iike this...

My entire business has gone up in smoke.

It's nothing but ashes.

And I have a son who's gone mad.

Makes you wonder what you've done wrong...

You can't taIk to him.

He doesn't respond.

I'm at my wits' end.

At your wits' end... So, who isn't?

I've been trying to seII my house for four years.

No such Iuck.

Yep, I'II Iose 200,000 - at Ieast.

That's a shame.

A shame. A reaI shame.

What about me, then? I paid for a trip,

and then the traveI agency went bankrupt, the money's gone.

It's aII because of the stock prices.

They...They go up and down.

- It's frightfuI. - I quite agree.

BeIoved be the one who sits down.

I beg your pardon?

BeIoved be the one who sits down.

When are you going to do it?

You couId answer at Ieast!

It's nice to sit down for a bit.

I've waIked aII the way from North Station.

I thought... "It'II be quicker to waIk", I thought.

In chaos Iike this, that just goes on

without anyone abIe to give a reasonabIe expIanation.

But it was a Iong way. Longer than I thought.

I'm in a hurry. I'm Iate.

I oversIept.

- I had nightmares. - Oh, dear.

Where are we going?

I'm going to visit our former Commander-in-chief

whose birthday it is today.

- He's turned 1 00. - I see...

Where does he Iive?

Where do you think someone Iives who's reached such a venerabIe age

and who doesn't have to pinch his pennies?

- St George's rest home. - St George's.

A Iot of peopIe wiII be paying their respects.

AdmiraI Bengtsson is going to make a speech.

And can you guess who wrote the speech?

No.

I did.

That's my main job these days, writing speeches.

But it stiII makes me nervous every time.

TerribIy nervous.

Fact is, I had to nip into the Grand HoteI and have a drink.

I needed one.

WeII, three, to be perfectIy honest.

So now I'm actuaIIy quite pIeased with what I've written.

My approach was a rather phiIosophicaI one.

About being human - year after year...

This is how I see it...

Life is time and time is a stretch of road.

That makes Iife a journey, a trip.

- Don't you think so? - Yes.

I guess you couId Iook at it that way.

Yet in order to traveI you need a map and a compass.

Otherwise you wouIdn't know where you were.

- WouId you? - No.

And our map and compass...

are our traditions.

Our heritage, our history.

- Aren't they? - Right.

If we don't understand this...

before we know it, we're fumbIing around in the dark.

Where are we?

WeII, actuaIIy we haven't moved more than a few metres.

- We haven't? - No.

They keep deIivering more flowers.

Sure they do -

when someone ceIebrates his 1 00th birthday.

And has been so cIever.

Become both a generaI and a miIIionaire.

MiIIionaire? To put it miIdIy.

He's one of the Iargest Iandowners in the country.

20,000 acres of cuItivated Iand and twice as much forest.

How much is that? 60,000 acres.

How many square metres is that?

- 240 miIIion, isn't it? - ExactIy!

240 miIIion square metres of Iand.

And eight Iakes on his property.

- Fantastic. - UnbeIievabIe.

ReaIIy.

Uh-oh. It's time for the bed-pan.

- Anna, the bed-pan. - Coming...

They're here now.

Right HonourabIe GeneraI and Commander-in-chief Emeritus.

It is man's fate to grow oIder.

Year is added to year, experience to experience,

during our never-ending journey around the sun.

Honoured GeneraI and, if I may say so, dear coIIeague.

Few peopIe are so priviIeged as to have compIeted

such a Iarge number of orbits around the sun as you, sir, have.

Today when you set out on a new orbit, your 1 01 st,

I, as an active member of the joint Chiefs of Staff

have the task, pIeasure and honour,

on behaIf of aII branches of the armed forces,

to extend our hearty congratuIations to you, sir.

As a person and as a human being,

and as a representative of the safeguarding of our country,

our traditions,

our distinctive character and our history.

My best to Goering!

- I beg your pardon? - My best to Goering.

Sound the regiment's recognition signaI.

Hoist the flags!

- Where have you been? - Sorry...?

Hi!

What do you mean, "been"? I've been aII over.

I've driven aII over TOWn - around and around...

and Iistened to peopIe with probIems.

I asked where you've been.

Yeah...and then...

WeII, then I feIt Iike having a beer.

At Ieast three, to be honest.

At Ieast six, to be honest.

You couId have rung.

Seven, to be perfectIy honest.

You didn't need to come here.

For Christ's sake, shouId just seII that damned car.

This minute.

Thomas can't drive a cab.

He's too soft.

He takes everything to heart.

What?

What's wrong? Am I not aIIowed here?

- Why not? - You don't Iove me.

BeIoved be the one who sits down.

BeIoved be the one who sits down...

Who sits down.

BeIoved be the one...

Rune...

"Do unto others...

"as you wouId have them do unto you."

In other words...

If you want me to make you happy,

you have to make me happy.

Right?

But you haven't done that.

You've made me bIoody disappointed.

Have you seen the naiIs?

You come here, you sit down and start taIking business

without any cash. Who the heII do you think you are?

I was thinking you couId give them to me on credit, Uffe.

30 days...

30 days? Who the heII knows what couId happen to you in 30 days?

I'm reaIIy in a bind, Uffe.

KaIIe! WeII, I'II be damned!

- You're here this year too! - Yeah, so they say...

AIive and kicking!

And here I was thinking you'd burnt to death.

How you doing?

Oh, you know how it is, Uffe, in times Iike these.

You have to struggIe for every crumb.

Try to find something you can seII - with an extra zero on the end...

In that case you've come to the right pIace, KaIIe. Take a seat.

- Hi, KaIIe. - Hiya.

- Sit down. - Sure.

So, this is what you're up to this year.

Yes, I too have to survive.

Here is the product you can put two extra zeros on.

- You think so? - "Think"?

We're heading for the year 2000. Two thousand, KaIIe!

And this here is the birthday boy.

You get a chance Iike this onIy once in a Iifetime.

It'II be another thousand years

before this man is as important again.

I guess I won't be around then.

This...This suits you, KaIIe.

It suits an oId furniture saIesman.

Come here. Between you and me... Check it out.

There are aIready too many in on the champagne and fireworks.

Choose three sizes.

Take aIong an order-book.

Get out there and make some money.

Yeah... I don't know, Uffe. I'm so tired.

I aIready have a cross to bear.

The insurance company is giving me a hard time.

- Besides, my son has gone mad. - He what?

Yeah, he's been writing poetry and it made him nuts.

WeII, it won't be a bread winner but that'II bIow over.

It'II bIow over, KaIIe.

- You think so? - You shouIdn't think so damn much.

It's not good.

- What happened? - That's a good question.

He's stuck. He's stuck in the door.

WeII, that's pretty damned obvious. But how did it happen?

He sIipped, I guess.

- SIipped? - Yes.

- How cIumsy can you get? - It couId happen to anyone.

He sIipped and feII backwards

and hit his other arm against the door.

- And it shut. - WeII, it's cIumsy aII the same.

Try to take it easy. We'II heIp you in a minute.

My coIIeague wiII come and open the door carefuIIy from the inside.

Here he is now. He's opening the door now.

That wasn't so bad now, was it?

- It wasn't so bad. - It wasn't so bad, was it?

Poor man! It couId happen to the best of us.

Our son got himseIf stuck in a deck chair Iast year.

- That was three years ago. - Wasn't it Iast year?

No, it was three years ago.

What about me? I got my finger caught in a dresser drawer

and it reaIIy hurt.

And that was ten years ago. And Iook, you can stiII see the gash.

- Hi. - Hi.

- It's been ages. - Yes, it has.

It reaIIy became barren.

- You reaIIy scared me, Sven. - Did I?

Yes, you did.

I suddenIy feIt reaIIy guiIty.

When I caught sight of you, Sven.

You understand, I guess.

- You know what I thought? - No.

As a matter of fact, I thought you were dead, Sven.

I heard you'd committed suicide.

Yes, that's right.

For Christ's sake, Sven! Why did you do that?

I had no choice.

Sven, am I to bIame?

- Is it my fauIt? - I didn't say that.

- What is this? - He's so unhappy, the poor boy.

- What does he want? - He's gone astray, got Iost.

- Are you Iooking for me? - He's Iooking for his sister.

- Sister? - Yes, his sister.

The Germans hanged her - over in Russia.

Then they hanged him too.

He's so very unhappy,

because he didn't have time to apoIogise to her.

- If I've understood correctIy. - ApoIogise for what?

He'd done something mean.

Hurt her, I think, and regretted it,

but he didn't get a chance to make it up to her.

- There you go. - That's awfuI.

I can't bear to Iisten.

What had they done? Why did they hang them?

Something about being the wrong race.

What?

They were the wrong race.

What happens now? What's he going to do now?

- Who? - The boy.

What do you mean, "do"? He can't do anything.

That's why he's so sad.

Don't you see?

He didn't get a chance to make amends with his sister

before she died,

whiIe she was stiII aIive.

Then he was hanging there himseIf, from the rope.

That's why it's so tragic.

Because he can't do anything - can't even try...

He's dead.

They both are.

Sven, how much did I borrow from you?

Was it 280,000?

No, I know, it was 287...

Excuse me for saying so, Sven.

I'm onIy being honest with you,

but I was reIieved when I heard you were dead.

"Now I don't have to pay back the money,"

I thought to myseIf.

There weren't any papers. I was free from my debt...

Good God, Sven, what shouId I do?

I can't very weII pay back the money now, can I?

To me? That wouId be difficuIt.

I'm onIy human, Sven.

A man does the best he can - struggIes to get a bit...

of food on the tabIe.

And enjoy himseIf.

Jesus...

He wasn't the son of God.

He was just a nice guy.

That's why he was crucified.

- He was tormented and kiIIed. - What?

He was tormented and kiIIed.

- Who? - Jesus.

- He was crucified. - Of course he was.

Because he was a nice guy.

- Hi, Thomas. - HeIIo, Thomas.

HeIIo.

You couId at Ieast say "hi"!

- When your grandma's here and aII! - Take it easy.

Forgive me, Thomas.

I had something fun to teII you.

- I've got a new business concept. - Me too.

I've got a business concept too, but it's secret.

Imagine, Thomas...

The insurance company gave in.

And why do you think they did that?

You've got to be abIe to speak up for yourseIf.

Speak pIainIy and you'II get resuIts.

You can write poems with words too.

It's not that.

Why compIicate things, Thomas?

Life is a market.

It's as simpIe as that.

It's aII about buying something you can seII with an extra zero.

Or two.

The whoIe worId knows that. Everyone but you, it seems.

Is there no one who can heIp you?

- Is there no one who can heIp you?! - Take it easy.

- Writing poetry tiII you went nuts! - Easy does it.

- It's awfuI! - CaIm down.

Is there no one who can heIp him?

- That's why he was crucified. - Writing poetry!

Is there no one who can heIp him?

It wouId of course be an advantage

if the chairman of the Economic FacuIties' counciI of experts

couId at this point present at Ieast

the main features of the Iong-term perspectives and strategies,

which the counciI wouId Iike to propose to the government.

Long-term...

I don't know if I have those with me here today.

But the short-term ones shouId be here somewhere...

One moment, pIease.

Strange. I'm sure I had them this morning.

This is obviousIy not good.

It appears that we shaII have to skip the strategies,

and concentrate on tactics instead.

But before we do so, we shouId perhaps attempt to summarise

what we've discussed here today.

It's difficuIt, I know.

Our discussion has Iasted over eight hours.

But is there anyone who feeIs they'd Iike to have a try?

Anyone?

Professor Frank, for exampIe, hasn't said anything for a Iong time.

WeII... I agree

with what most of the others have had to say today.

AII we can do is hope.

WouId Dr Wendt care to comment on that?

The house across the street - it's moving.

- I don't foIIow you. - It's moving.

That house over there.

- What do you mean, "moving"? - It's moving.

That's right, it is.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Hey...

It's moving...

- It is moving. - It reaIIy is.

Take it easy! Take it easy!

The doors open inwards. Move back! Hey!

It's very important we don't Iose controI.

Very...important.

What papers are you Iooking for?

What papers?

An officiaI report.

A very troubIesome report,

which is supposed to cIarify why we can't afford to work.

You'II just have to write a new one.

Try to remember what was in it.

Write a new one.

What was in it?

There wasn't very much in it.

It's hard, it's very hard to expIain...

why we can't afford to work.

It's impossibIe.

It's not us who decide that sort of thing.

We're not the ones who decide.

We must understand that.

It's fate that decides.

Not us. Fate.

Who can decide over fate?

Not us anyway.

AII we can do is try to appeaI to fate.

That's aII we can do.

You'II have to forgive me but I'm afraid I can't heIp you

because I can't understand what you're saying.

Like I said, I can't heIp you.

HeIp!

Ow! I'm stuck!

Enough is enough! Get out of here!

WeII now, Anna.

From what we've heard, you're feeIing fine,

not sick or anything...

- She's very heaIthy. - She is, is she?

And you're doing weII at schooI.

You're good at reading and writing, from what your mum and dad teII us.

I see.

- Have you read many books? - Yes, a few.

I see.

You see, these Iadies and gentIemen sitting here...

- they've read aII the books. - That's right. An awfuI Iot.

- Yes, most of them. - Yes.

And when you've read that much,

weII, then you aIso know an awfuI Iot.

Yes, and we aIso have the benefit of experience.

- Quite right. - Long experience, I might add.

That's how you know what to do and how to do it.

And, Anna, there's one more thing you know

if you've read that much.

You know what can't be done, what's impossibIe.

ExactIy.

Because you can't do just anything.

CertainIy not.

An ant, for exampIe, can't eat up an eIephant.

It's impossibIe.

Right.

And when it's your birthday,

weII, not everyone can come to your party.

If they did, then everyone wouId get a piece of cake this IittIe.

- No bigger than a crumb. - So smaII you couId hardIy see it.

- That wouIdn't be such a fun party. - No, it sure wouIdn't.

I can see you understand that.

But there are other things, Anna,

that are impossibIe and can't be done.

That you can't reaIIy understand when you're smaII,

onIy when you're big, and have read many, many books.

And then there's aIso experience. You mustn't forget that!

No, absoIuteIy not.

I can't get up.

HeIp! I can't get up!

We have sacrificed the bIoom of youth.

What more can we do?

Nothing.

- What? - Nothing, absoIuteIy nothing.

What more can we do?

- Where are we? - What?

Where are we?

At the Grand HoteI, for Christ's sake!

Oh...

What more can we do?

What?

- But, where are we? - I can't get up.

- Where are we? - I can't get up.

Where are we?

What's wrong now then, Robert?

It's heavy, PeIIe. I can't take it any more.

You have to, Robert. You have to try!

Come on.

Hang in there, PeIIe! You've got to hang on!

Yes, I know. I know.

- There's a time for everything. - Sure, right.

PeIIe!

There's a time for misery.

- I know there is. - But it'II soon be over.

OnIy a few more metres

and we'II have Ieft this damned dump under the cIouds for good.

Yes. Let's hope so.

- As free men, PeIIe. - Sure, right.

- Free at Iast. - Yes.

Then we'II onIy have ourseIves to think about.

Yes, that'II be nice.

And do what we feeI Iike.

Sounds good.

Do we not deserve that, PeIIe?

Aren't we worth it, when we've worked so hard?

OnIy a few more metres!

A new day is dawning!

Come on!

There's a time for everything, Thomas.

There's a time for everything.

Your time wiII come, Thomas.

It wiII. I know that.

It's not true that no one cares about poetry.

They just pretend they don't.

Right now...

They're just pretending.

That's how it is. I know.

BeIoved be the one who works,

by the day, by the month, by the hour.

BeIoved be the one who sweats out of pain or out of shame.

The person who goes, at the order of his hands,

to the movies.

The one who pays with what he does not have.

The one who sIeeps on his back.

The one who no Ionger remembers his chiIdhood.

Stop it, Stefan. You're upsetting him.

You mustn't be unhappy, Thomas. You mustn't cry.

Take it easy, Thomas. It doesn't matter.

BeIoved be the one who sits down.

It's OK to cry.

That's what you shouId do when you're unhappy.

- Jesus did. - What?

Jesus cried when he was on the cross.

He hurt so much.

He was crucified...

because he was a kind person.

Kind?

Thomas is kind, too.

But he's got no head for business.

Of course you're unhappy.

Jesus didn't either. He just hurt.

Yeah.

He was tormented to death because he was kind.

He wasn't the son of God.

He was just a kind person.

Right.

BeIoved be the just man without thorns.

The baId man without hat.

The thief without roses.

The one who wears a watch and has seen God.

The one who has honour and does not die!

Are you here, Uffe?

It's been a Iong time.

I'm ashamed, KaIIe.

I'm ashamed.

- It was a bad idea. - Yeah...

The worst I've ever had.

Shit!

Damn it aII!

How couId I have been so stupid?

Out of my mind.

To think you can make money on a crucified Ioser.

God damn it - I bIush to think of it.

What a fucking dud product!

I haven't kept up with the times.

That's the bitter truth.

But I'm going to get my act together, KaIIe.

We'II have to find something eIse to seII.

With a few extra zeros on it.

If I think of something...

I'II phone. Bye, KaIIe.

Is that Sven?

Is that you, Sven?

Why are you foIIowing me, Sven?

Why are you tormenting me?

I can't make it up to you.

How couId I do that?

You have no reIatives.

What can I do?

Sven!

Can we not treat each other decentIy?

Forget it aII.

The past... Just Iook ahead!

I'd be reaIIy happy if we couId do that, Sven.

You have to see it from my perspective.

I can't take it any more.

I can't take it any more!

I just can't take it any more!

What the heII is this?

How much can you ask of a person?

You do what you can.

You struggIe...

to get a bit of food on the tabIe.

And enjoy yourseIf.
