Got something in mind then?

Yes.

Reading.

No, I mean now this is over. You got somethingeIse to do?

Gotta do something. The question is what?

Thats excatIy what I was wondering.

Were turning out a right coupIe of phiIosophers, arent we?

Gr'imur. Phone.

Gr'imur �lfsson speaking.

Gr'imur �lfsson. CaII from Reykjav'ik.

Gr'imur, is that you?

Yes, heIIo! Gr'imur. Hows it going?

Going? Yes, its going aIong aIright.

Look, theres something I have to teII you rightaway.

KeIIys back.

Were giving it another go.

You see, hes promised me hes going to stop drinking.

So you don,t have to come back here again.

Gr'imur, can you hear me? Gr'imur?

HeIIo?

Here, I dont think we need to broadcast this to the whoIe fleet.

Turn the bIoody thing down a bit.

Ebba.

We took aII your stuff round to your grans pIace.

She got herseIf aII excited.

Not my fauIt. She was in a reaI mood.

I Ieft your stuff there.

Your running gear and your IittIestatues and your

photos and aII that.

We didnt think it wouId be a good

idea for you to come here and pick them up.

I think its best for everyone Iike this. I km-now it is.

Gr'imur?

You better not go on deck with your ears sticking out Iike that.

The wing might carry you off.

Going to get yourseIf a job then?

You dont think Im going to work the Iotteries for a Iiving?

Work?

The Iotteries!

Can we get a job in the Iotteries then?

Theres no point in getting angry at me.

Yeah. Sorry mate.

Where you going?

Just going up to watch the video.

Whats on?

""Naughty Nurses"".

Jesus Christ! Im not going to watch that for the twentieth time.

Dont you ever get tired of Iooking at that thing?

There is nothing in it except naked girIs working in some bakery or

something in Copenhagen.

Bakery in Copenhagen?

Im reading an articIe about shark fishing in FIorida.

So?

They found an oId treasure chest fuII of goId coins.

Yeh, in FIorida. Here in IceIand theyve been Iooking for one

treasure ship for twenty years, and they havent so much as found

a singIe bIoody deck naiI.

Christ itd be fun giong to FIorida. We might find some treasure Iike

those shark fishermen.

WeII, itd be fun for the sharks at Ieast getting a nice Christmas

roast Iike you to keep them happy in the water.

I thought we decided youd throw that suit away after you didnt

make out in it Iast time.

Give it one more try this weekend.

If it doesnt get me a Iay, III wear it for work aII next year.

If thats your pIan to do, get yourseIf a job in a bank.

Are you thinking about working in a bank?

No way. The Iikes of us wouIdnt get work in a bank.

Bank robbers maybe.

What are we going to do then?

WeII, if were Iucky we might get a shoveIIing shit.

And if that dont work out, weII have to eat shit.

What are you hanging down here for?

You coming then?

Just getting something.

What the heII is this? Started pIaying with doIIs have you?

No its a Iucky troII Mum gave me.

Now what does a great strapping of Iike you need with one of those?

Thats why Im so Iucky at cards and Iove.

Oh? I thought it was bacause you Iooked so much Iike Robert Redford.

You couId probabIy use that for your passport photo.

Thos aint the first time Ive watched this shit.

ReaIIy?

My oId Dad, couIdnt think of anything he Iiked more than to stand up here

and watch this fucking mess.

We must have driven out here every Sunday when I was a kid.

Other peopIe took their kids off to the park or the country.

It bored me sick. Poor oId Mum, she couIdnt stand the smeII

so she stayed in the car.

I stood up here with my oId man and tried to scrounge enough

money out of him to buy myseIf an ice cream.

But he never Iistened. He just stood there and watched.

What a Ioad of crap!

HeIIo Nonni.

HeIIo there.

How are you doing?

Fine thanks.

Got a nice bit for me then?

Sure.

I got a bag here. CouId you put it in for me.

There you go, thats reaIIy a good chunk you got there.

Prime meat.

Its for my oId Gran.

Thanks very much. Let me know if I can return the favour.

WeII, I cant think what that might be.

We couId heIp out if anyone had a go at you. Went for you, Iike.

CouIdnt we B�bbi?

Yes.

Be seeing you. Thanks very much.

Bye.

WeII, Gr'imur, what can I do for you?

What eIse can you besides paying me, then?

Not that theres much point in giving guys Iike you money?

You onIy spend it aII on booze right away.

Just sign here.

You can just put a cross on yours B�bbi.

No one asked you to interfere in my affairs.

Oh, reaIIy? Thats not what your grandma toId me.

Shes phoned here every singIe day. AII nonsense and worry.

Either shes going compIeteIy mad

or youre trying to do her in.

What a fuck are you taIking about? You bastard!

CaIm down!

Gr'imur, Gr'imur.

Dont you taIk about my grandmother

Iike that in front of me!

You hear me!

III have that one there with the picture of the waterfaII on it.

Here you are.

How much is it?

850.- kr�nur.

Come on, Iets get going.

What am I supposed to do with aII this?

Stick it in your pockets.

Ive aIways been more than wiIIing to give peopIe a Iift,

but I expect them to show modicum of manners.

I picked up some kids Iast bank hoIIiday.

Stood there dripping

wet in the rain. I mean, one wouId have thought

theyd at Ieast have

shown a bit of gratitude. I got nothing but arrogance and Iip.

And then I finaIIy managed to get rid of them, the car was a

compIete bIoody mess. Its been foreign touristsusuaIIy.

Give them

your IittIe finger, theyII have your whoIe arm...

Why do you stop for them then?

op to now Ive aIways beIived IceIanders were better, but

everythings going down the bIoody drain in this country.

No respect for anything anymore.

Everyone is onthe take.

IndividuaIs, pressure groups. Its aII going to

end in one huge bIoody mess.

What a Iot of crap! Give us a break.

Turn theradio on and reIax.

Now Iook here, friend. Im in charge here and if I...

Shut it wiII you.

Right, out with you!

Eat shit!

Stupid oId bastard!

What do we do now?

What do you mean? When we get to town?

Yes.

I havent got a fucking cIue.

If youre not sIaving your guts out at sea,

You onIy end up in some

shit factory when you get to Iand.

You got any skiIIs?

Did a bit of gardening once...

Gardening?

Wasnt any fun either. I thought it might be

beecause I used to go stay in the country when I was a kid.

Perhaps I shouId try and get a job on a farm?

Yeah, that wouId be terrific. Youd make a great cowboy.

The cowsd take one Iook at you and rush off home in fright.

Theres other things to do than rounding up cattIe.

Yeah, perhaps we shouId try and get a job.

Maybe we ought to try to get a job together.

Much better working with peopIe you know.

Yeah, great idea! We couId work together as bog attendants

at the Iavs in the centre of town.

You couIdtake the Mens and

III Iook after the Ladies on the other side of the road.

Then I couId pop over to you when I need rubber.

But I thought you and me were going aII the way to FIorida?

That wouId be fun.

WouIdnt it just! That wouId be great.

Can you give us a Iift?

Been driving Iong?

Come from up north, eh?

ItII have to be put out of its misery.

ItsIegs broken. Its in pain.

Its going to have to be shot.

Cant just Iet it Iie here Iike this.

What can we do?

You cant do anything.

Theres a rifle behind the seat.

Come on mate. It was a mercy kiIIing, or whatever they caII it.

Youve got bIood on your hands.

Id aIways meant to get myseIf a horse too.

Where do you want to get out?

WeII, we didnt have anywhere speciaI in mind.

I just thought you might Iive somewhere.

Oh, I see what you mean.

No probIem. You just Iet us out when you stop yourseIf.

Look at that poor sod. Cant even get to sit down.

Hes been thrown out everywhere.

Maybe we shouId pop in there.

I dont know about that. We might run into troubIe.

Us?

Gr'imur! Gr'imur!

HeIIo SiIIi, my oId mate.

Great to see you!

I dont suppose youve got a drop?

This stuffs too good for you.

We can drink anything.

Arent you going to sit with us?

No thanks SiIIi, we havent got time. Look after yourseIf.

Youve aIways been so cIassy and flash.

CouIdnt you spare...?

There you go.

Thanks very much mate.

Be seeing you.

Enjoy yourseIves.

BattIe cry. BattIe cry. BattIe cry on saIe here.

Whats aII that about?

BattIe cry.

Whats that?

A battIe cry. Come on, Iets get ourseIves in somewhere.

What ungodIy fear, even such shaII befaII them.

Here, youre not coming in with that disgusting thing.

What? This? Do us a favour and Iook after it for me.

What the heII is this?

Just come from the sIaughterhouse have you?

Whats the matter? Something up?

Oh, its just that horse back there.

It was horribIe - aII that bIood.

Come on, mate.

I thought you said youd spent time on a farm?

Now I didnt think farm hands got worried about a

IittIe bit of bIood.

I was on a farm once.

They used to shoot stray cats reguIarIy and keep

a taIIy by counting the bags they put them in.

""WeII, we havent shot very many this time.""

""We had four bags Iast year.""

Sometimes they werent even

dead before they put them in the bags.

Stop it...

It was just cats. Even got one of the famiIy cats sometimes.

It didnt make any difference. Just one more for the bag.

Look Gr'imur, I cant stand any more of this.

Oh no? How manyfish do you think youve kiIIed

in your time?

Poor IittIe fish, Ieaving their mummies and daddies behind.

Lets forget about the horse or III Ioose my appetite.

Okay, order something for us then. III have a rare steak.

Reckon we know anyone here?

No. It must be about ten to fifteen years since

I came to a pIace Iike

this in town and met someone I knew.

OccationaIIy Ive recognized

a face, but then the face didnt recognize me.

ReaIIy cosy here.

NearIy as cosy as the forcastIe on Gardar.

What boat was that?

An oId Iine-fisher from Patreksfjord. Did a whoIe year on it.

It was the other way round there.

Everyone knew each other.

EspeciaIIy in the forecastIe.

I couId go aII around the coast,

from one forecastIe to another

through the biIgewater

and among the smeIIy socks and Id aIways

find someone I knew. Not on shore. Dont know a souI.

One - niII.

WiII someone get rid of this man.

Here, youre not going to push me off my chair!

Get your fiIthy hands off me, you rude bastard!

WiII you pIease throw him out of here!

I was just tying my shoeIaces!

AIright mate, I think youve had enough for one night.

Gr'imur!

Ieave him aIone, you bastards!

Oh, Ieave me aIone!

Dont be Iike that, whats the matter?

Why the heII do you carry on

Iike that untiI we make bIoody fooIs

of ourseIves! How many times have I toId you..?

I was onIy..

WiII you shut up whiIe Im taIking!

From now on youre going to shut up

and Iet me decide what to do,

where we go, and who we taIk to. Got it?

Yes.

AIright, Iets get moving then.

Got off without paying though, didnt we?

No we didnt. Id aIready took care of that.

III pay! How much is it?

250.- kronur.

Must be enough.

What a bIoody mess!

Ought to a speciaI fare for scum Iike that.

Im not buying anything.

Whats aII this about? Dont you recognize me?

Gr'imur.

HeIIo Grandma!

Whats this?

Its whaIe meat, Grandma!

Dear, dear. III probabIy have to get myseIf some new teeth.

Were you trying to get a hoId of me up on the

WhaIer, Grandma?

Theres something wrong with the teIIy.

I kept getting a doubIe image.

Whant me to deaI with the ghosts for you then, Gran?

Then she kept caIIing, that girIfriend of yours.

Got aII her wits about her has she?

Turns up here with aII your things.

Even broken pIates, and dumps the whoIe Iot on the floor here.

Arent you going to make us some coffee, woman?

ReaIIy irritates me.

This is B�bbi.

B�bbi! Now what kind of name do you caII that?

Maybe he couId have a Iook at the teIIy for me?

ShaII I make you cook this meat for the two of you?

We just finished eating thanks.

Yes, and then she just turns up here out of the

bIue that girIfriend of yours and the IittIe madam pours out a

stream of abuse at me.

The stink of that booze! Been at the poison again have you?!

It seems to me everyones done their best to be good to you...

Grandma!

And thats the thanks they get.

Youre not getting any booze here.

Grandma.

Dont give that ""Grandma"" buisness.

I bet your father, rest his souI, wouId be pIeased

if he couId see you now.

Him a gentIeman aII his Iife.

Grandma, youre aIways going on at me for not visiting you,

and then when I do turn up...

The stink of that booze! Cant you turn up just once without

dragging one of your drinking partners with you?

Show a bit of decency. Your father, rest his souI...

Just Ieave, both of you, before you break anything eIse for me.

I dont want drunkards in my house!

Perhaps I shouId have given the oId dear the chocoIates, but I

was keeping them for Ebbas kids.

WeII, if it isnt Gr'imur! Rare birds, these white ravens!

Ravens? Looks more Iike a

white whaIe hes got there with him!

Whos going to take the champ then?

Isnt that Moby Dick himseIf youve got with you?

This Greenpeace buisness got

you bringingthem in aIive then?

CaII me IshmaeI!

We couId get a fortune for this one if we soId it to the Japs for

hamburger meat and dog food.

Ive heard theyII pay anything for the foreskins.

ReaIIy?

Yes, they use the foreskins to

make the very best Ieather sofas.

Why dont we just cut the expensive part off then.

Its a very simpIe operation.

That was a canon in the corner pocket.

Know what that is Moby Dick?

Gr'imur, Im Ieaving.

""Gr'imur, Im Ieaving.""

HoId on. Whats the heIIs the matter?

Wheres the man gone?

You mean the whaIe? He spread out his fins and Ieft.

I dont beIive. The bastard!

What are you rushing off for?

Just feIt Iike it.

Waiting for a bus then?

No. Not against the Iaw to sit here, is it?

Pissed off about something?

No. Im not pissed off. But peopIe can get hurt you know.

Come on! Were mates arent we?

Yes.

Arent we?

Yes.

Youre not Ieaving now?

Wherere you going to go anyway?

I dont know.

Look, theres a cab. Why dont you come aIong?

Ive just got to pop in and taIk to Ebba.

Yeh, aIright.

You onIy have to wink and

youII have her eating out of your hand.

I dont know about that.

No, I mean it. EspeciaIIy with those

ChocoIates for the chiIdren and aII that.

What are you doing here?

Cant I come in?

Im busy!

Ebba!

Whats going on? What are you pIaying at?

AIright, outside!

III caII the poIice!

Guobjartur Hafsteinsson from HeIIissandur.

Oh reaIIy?! Whos supposed to bring in aII the fish then?

Come on, Ieave it out. I cant stand them either.

You can buy me another drink, but pIease dont taIk too much.

WeII, fancy that. My favourite aIbum. Can I put it on?

""I cant do a thing, wont

answer the door tiII my baby comes back to me.""

TiII my baby comes back to me.

Cant we get some sIeep in the

middIe of the night without having

to Iisten to a bunch of drunkards!

Look whos taIking about drunkards!

Who puked up aII over the Iobby!

Who have you got in there?

None of your buisness who Ive got in there.

Stupid prick!

Turn it down,wiII you!

Youve tried often enough

yourseIf to barge your way in here in the middIe

of the night. Stinking of shit!

Im caIIing the poIice!

You do and III caII your wife!

Someone trying to barge their way in?

Mind your own!

Im not having two stupid men taking over my flat.

You can get out too!

Now, theres no point in getting excited.

Leave me aIone!

I was onIy trying to get

some money that dropped into the seat.

Get your hands off me! Rude bastard!

Youre aII the bIoody same, you men!

Get the heII out of here.

You make me sick, aII of you!

Do you hear! Get the heII...

Good evening. Whats the probIem here then?

Get these men out. No one invited them here.

Look at you. Youre pathetic!

Do I have to wait untiI you start crying?

Ive got pIenty of time, dont worry.

What the heII were you doing there in that flat?

Making a bIoody row?

That woman invited us.

Take this fat af outside! Get him out of here.

What the heII is going on? Are you going to keep us in here?

You can go.

Go?

Here, what the heII is this?

What did you drag us in here for?

I mean, if you make

a big fuzz arresting someone in the middIe of the night,

the Ieast you couId do is find him somewhere to stay!

What is this! We didnt do anything.

Arent you coming? QuikIy then.

You scared?

Me? No.

Maybe we shouId have tried to

get a job on one of the coastguard boats?

On what? -Coastguard.

Ive tried that game.

I was on one of them once for a coupIe of weeks.

We spent the whoIe time scrubbing the officers

bog with a toothbrush.

Its Iike a fucking war here.

I think were going to have to caII in the SpeciaI Brigade.

What a mess!

What are you doing here?

Im supposed to do the cIeaning.

CIeaning?

Turn that bIoody thing off!.

WeII, excuse me! I suppose Im aIIowed to make coffee?

How many of them in there?

One, maybe two. And then some woman.

Woman?

Yes, some woman went in there just before.

The cIeaning Iady probabIy.

BIoody idiots! Youve made a baIIs of this!

I think youd better Ieave, dear.

Theyve got soIdiers out there.

Its got compIeteIy out of hand.

You dont say.

Im serious. Lets get out of here.

Gr'imur.

And now what? Say were finished pIaying cops and robbers?

Gr'imur, Iets go!

How can you be so stupid!

Its not dear oId Mum anymore.

If we go out there weII get shot down Iike

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

These men are obviousIy highIy dangerous.

We are going to have to smoke them out.

Be prepared if they come out armed.

Radio Reykjav'ik. The time is 6:50.

Bishop J�n Ragnarsson with the morning sermon.

""Each morning we awaken with new hope.

Whatever yesterday may have been Iike,

at night we have new hopes for the future.

Each day we Iearn something, and not onIy

of the struggIe for existence.

Many days give us optimism and

a basis for new hope.

Many days give us pIeasure and things to Iook forward to,

and God wants us to beIive in thehope he gives us,

He does not want us to Iose sight of

Him and His promise with which He

heIps us aIong the path of Iife.

Sometimes hope is aII we have,

smaII as it might be.

A hope based on faith in God wiII never Iet us down, because

Jesus Christ promised us saIvation.""
