Original subtitles

Has it been sold yet? -Probably today.

That Melker is crazy, but I like him.

He has sweet children. -Yes, he has sweet children.

Why don't you buy the house? -Where do we get the money?

Yeah, where do they get the money?

Dad can't just cough up 20,000 kroner.

Money. Money. I wish there was no money.

Milker has a bite.

Without money you are powerless. You want to give your children everything.

I only want to give you beautiful, nice, delicious things.

We know that, Dad.

What a failure I am. -Don't say that, daddy.

Sometimes I think I should have been a bureau chief or something.

We want you the way you are. -Yes, I understand that.

I wanted to tell you something, Dad.

You've already given us all those things.

You gave us so much beauty, so much joy and so much fun.

Do you mean that? -Yes, I mean that.

Things that mean something. Things that money can’t buy.

You especially took care of us.

I loved you so much that my heart ached.

Milker...

Can't you hear well, Uncle Melker? There's a phone call for you.

Quick, Melker! It must be important.

What is 't? -'tWhat's urgent.

Hello... Yes, that's you speaking.

How?

And.

And.

No... No!

Say it isn't true.

Yes, but not just like that?

You can't do that to a person, can you?

Hurry up, Pelle!

Niklas, Johan! Teddy and Freddy! -No...!

Come quickly, something terrible has happened.

No, I really can't believe it. -Dad, what's wrong? Has there been an accident?

Sorry, I didn't know what to do. Thanks and see you later.

What's the matter, dear daddy?

I get 25,000 crowns from the Cultural Fund. -What?

Yeah... Hee-hee...

No, but daddy... -25,000 crowns!

Congratulations, Melker! -What lovely people from Cultuurvorm.

Why does he give you so much money? -Maybe because I write so well.

Does he understand what you write? -I can almost believe it.

Dad, are we rich now?

And... Yes!

We have to get ahead of Karlberg. -You can still catch the boat if you run.

Let's do it. - Come on children, we're going to Mattson.

Captain, wait. Stop. I want to come.

Captain, come back. We have to go.

We have to come along.

Awesome.

It should work. If it does, I'll ask the captain to sound the siren.

Hello! Hey, hey!

That went well. We have exactly two hours. Plenty of time.

This must be it.

good day -Good day.

I wanted to speak to Mr. Mattson. -That's not possible.

Isn't he there? -No.

When is he coming back?

When is he coming? -I don't know.

Where could he be? -He's gone to the market to buy rhubarb.

The market...where could that be?

Dad, can we have an ice cream? -No.

Can we have an ice cream? -Yes, yes. Don't whine, go sit on the bench over there.

Sit still and don't move.

Come back soon. -Yes, yes.

The ice cream is delicious.

You know what I find stupid about this ice cream? -Nothing for sure?

That it's gone so quickly.

Are we supposed to sit here until we starve? -Apparently.

Pelle, do you still have that crown I gave you yesterday? -Yes.

Can we still buy ice cream? -I'm not crazy.

Have you been to the city before?

Yes, Mattson just makes sure of it.

Mattson takes care of it very stupidly. -Yes.

I don't really know anymore.

But it was near a candy store and a toy store.

Could you find her house? -No, I don't really know.

Look, a police officer.

We're looking for a candy store next to a toy store.

Do you want everything at once? -Absolutely.

Walk all the way down this street and then turn right. That's how you get there. -Thank you.

It was here somewhere. I want that doll.

She lives in this white house.

She's not there.

Then why is her radio playing?

good day -No, but...

Don't be afraid. I'm not as dangerous as I look.

I came along. He couldn't do it alone.

I find it difficult to do business with people hanging from balconies.

Come on in.

What are we running? Maybe Mattson is home. Karlberg could burst in at any moment.

Like a huge locomotive. -Which way should we go?

What you are saying now.

Isn't that stupid? -Yes, you can say that again.

You would never do that. -I want Snickargarden the way it is.

Only painting and repairing the roof. That's what daddy's good at. -Yes, Uncle Melker is such a handy guy.

Wait, I'm a candidate too. -You changed your mind too late.

Too bad. -But, we live there. My children and I love that house.

I can't deal with such sentimental fuss.

And Pelle and Tjorven? -They can wait a bit.

I already sold the house, I said. -To whom?

To him. I even got an advance. Look.

You just have to pay the rest. -Pelle, my little Pelle...

You must pay exactly the same amount.

I had arranged it with Mattson. This is ridiculous. -She is as stubborn as an old goat.

She certainly is. And she can still hear very well.

Come on, Lotta.

Dad, here's the receipt. It's okay. -Really?

Deathly silence. -No whistle.

It probably didn't work.

Hooray. That's great.

Grandpa! -Uncle Jansson! The Melkerssons have bought Snickargarden.

Opa.

Jock! Jock!

I am so happy.

It is a dream we must cherish.

My children can keep their summer dream and live their summer life.

Their delicious, secret and good dreams.

Dreams people have when they are children... and later forget

if they no longer have so much right to paradise.

Yes, it's a dream.

You never catch a fish, Uncle Melker. -No, he doesn't catch any.

I say like Pelle, I don't want fish. I just want peace and quiet.

Oh! -Help. I've got a bite.

Malin, a pike. Put the pan on the fire. We're eating pike.

I've already made meatballs. -Give them to Batsman.

Pak 'm.

With the net. Here he comes.

A beautiful pike. -On the hook.

It's just guys.

Uncle Melker, why do you always swim with your clothes on?

Because I like it, you know.

How nice. Finally you caught a fish, daddy.

And what a fish!

Grrr, GOOD!
