- You have imagination! - Yes, what do I get for it, then?

- You can get a kiss! - Oh, girls...

You can't lie down to sleep here. We don't want a fuss now. Rise and Shine.

You can't lie here, this is a public place.

Quiet! Quiet... Gone!

Gone... It disappeared!

Do you have a clue about what you are asking for?

Here I'd found a great place for contact with... with other worlds!

- Just now I got a call and... - No, now you take it easy.

- We have to follow the regulations. - Blah blah blah.

You can certainly contact your voices from space again...

- What a funny radio. - Radio!

Oh, oh, oh...

Oh, oh, oh!

I've had that feeling! And now it's time!

Far out in space lies the planet Gyllenblå.

The people there live their daily lives in joy and love...

but sometimes also in concern and controversy.

When the war's casualties hit them…

...emerges readily a strong man...

...that recruits followers by convincing them and himself...

...that he and no other answers for reason.

He often speaks with a loud voice to drown out any opposition.

Reason must take over!

Join with me - Ratio Rasch...

...I promise you that there will be peace and good order!

There are those who scoff at me...

...but soon they'll have finished laughing.

Long live the ice-cold reason!

This is the home of reason, it's called Gyllenblå

The clear sapphire, of noble gold is the foundation upon which we stand,

-Whoever the bottle points to will... -Will what? Hurry up!

Will kiss Frederick!

It's Eva!

What are you doing inside at recess?

Cherry!

- What's the matter? - Cherries!

- I want to give them to the children. - Why?

Are you not really wise? Why do we give children cherries?

I understand enough... Go away and leave the kids alone.

You are grumpy, I think. Take a cherry!

No, thanks! And now off with you!

Be quiet!

- What's your name that you like to laugh? - Frederick.

I can't see that there's very much to laugh about... Go now!

- Hello! - Hello!

- Is that your child? - Yes, it appears so.

- They laugh when you tell them off! - They don't mean offense.

- Laughter is healthy. - Healthy?!

- It's nice to laugh at school. - At us teachers or to each other?

Both for us and for each other! Laughter is man's greatest gift!

We are here to teach them a little sense!

Has man received a gift, it's reason. It's not to laugh!

Imagine if you had Jörgensen as class teacher.

- I would move. That's for sure. - Me too! A long way...

You should get a kiss, Fredrik! Eva...

It doesn't look as if it wants to...

Maybe it's too hot today.

Actually, I had thought that we would talk about serious things.

About how it looks on the earth. As you know, there are many areas of war...

...and fear.

But I have no heart for it when it's still summer!

We'll take time off!

- Where's my bike? I put it here. - Was it locked, then?

- Yes, it was right here. - Fredrik rode it before the bell rang.

- Did you? - No.

- You must have done! - Cecilie! There are fresh tracks here!

Check it out!

- Isn't it yours? - Yes!

- Aren't these your strips? - Yes, they are!

He must have gone down to the lake! Come on!

- Check it out! Another one! - Come!

- If we don't find it, I'll take yours! - Ha, ha, ha.

- There's a crossbar on my bike. - Oh, that means nothing.

- I'll sit on the crossbar instead. - Crossbar?

How clumsy you are! I'm glad it's not me who'll kiss you.

Oh, a cherry!

- Pips! Look! They're wet also. - Look, another cherry!

It must be the guy with the cherries! Come on, then!

Come on! We are there!

As I thought...

It's quiet!

Look! Cherries!

With my instrument I can no longer hear the laughter in outer space.

Reason... and intelligence, it's probably fine.

Wisdom and genius, it's useful and necessary...

But wisdom is nothing compared with laughter...

...because laughter is eternal!

It is eternal, because it's divine!

If laughter was silenced anywhere, wherever it is, it's a tragedy.

It... it must be prevented, otherwise...

Otherwise, it's our turn next time!

Pull yourself together now!

The imagination can bridge distances that are infinite…

What man can conceive, he can also manipulate!

We are living in a difficult time, but we have to live by our feelings too.

Not just by our cold reason.

We have to play, fantasize, laugh. Do you hear that, kids?

However they are trying to deceive you...

- Laughter is vital! - It's not whatRatio Rasch says!

- I know, but I believe what I believe. - Do you believe in God also?

Yes, maybe...

I don't think that man represents the highest wisdom.

Anyone who thinks it, I distrust.

Love is more important than all the world's collective wisdom.

- Many claim the opposite, but... - Epicycle!

- Photon, I have a lesson. - I know, but look at the remote screen.

No, sit down down! The lesson isn't over.

Remember that laughter will carry us through all difficulties...

...for those who can laugh can never really be defeated.

Think about it, when reason wants to lead you astray.

Stop! Think of your job!

- Supernova! - I had a feeling...

- No, let me go! - Take her away!

- Do you also deny reason? - Deny? No... No, absolutely not!

Reason is of course something very good.

Though we... we have to have... something else too... maybe a little...

No, I said certain something foolish!

Silence!

You shouldn't laugh.

Hurrah for reason!

- Long live it! - Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

I'm taking over your education.

Back straight!

Long live Gyllenblå!

With effect from today I, Ratio Rasch, have taken power!

I proclaim myself President over Gyllenblå!

Thus ends all battles poisoning our planet!

We have to change ourselves! Under this sign...

...we will rally round in seriousness and unity!

I am a gentle man. Only those who laugh at me I will crush!

- Do it now, then! - No, I don't want to!

Look, a bike!

- It's yours, Cecilie. - Is there anything wrong with it?

- In that case, you repair it, Frederick. - Me ?!

- Cherries! It's him who lives in the house. - It's him who's the thief!

Quiet! He can hear us...

Come on!

Come on!

- We'll report him to the police. - There's no point. He'll only deny it.

- We'll steal some cherries in revenge. - No, don't do it.

- He might be dangerous. - Bullshit!

Come on, little children.

Come and taste the doctor Krulls special giant cherry. Come on!

- Eva, jump in and kiss him now! - No!

- You don't dare! - Yes!

Come, little children.

I need two, I think.

A boy... and a girl.

Come on!
