A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence Page #2
Good night!
- What?
- Good night!
Good night.
I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine.
I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine!
Yes.
Do you want to say anything?
Tell them I'm also happy
to hear they're doing fine.
He says he's also happy
to hear you're doing fine.
Yes.
I caught it!
Yes, that's correct.
On April 16th,
you received two 10-packs
of vampire teeth, standard size,
and three 10-packs
with extra long fangs.
Yes, that is correct.
You also received
six Uncle One-Tooth.
I see three.
Have you sold the others?
Yes, we have.
- That was a while ago.
- Indeed.
- We haven't received payment.
- Indeed.
Why not?
I'm not sure.
Just a moment.
I'll ask my husband.
He says you'll have it
by next week.
- We don't believe that.
- No, we don't.
- We've sent four reminders.
- Indeed.
And we've called your answering
machine over and over again.
- We won't accept this.
- No, we won't.
Wait,
I'll talk to my husband again.
Just make them go away!
This won't do!
We won't accept this.
I have no money!
- I have no money!
- Then we'll take the masks back.
- We will take the masks.
- Please, don't.
I have no money!
Now it's Wilma's turn.
Welcome Wilma.
Stand right here.
- How do you feel?
- Fine.
Good.
- What are you doing for us?
- Reading a poem.
A poem? Okay.
- And who taught you that?
- I did myself.
You learned the poem yourself?
That was very good of you.
- What's the poem about?
- A bird.
It's about a bird?
- What kind of bird?
- A pigeon.
About a pigeon!
- And what did the pigeon do?
- It sat on a branch.
It sat on a branch?
- What did it do on the branch?
- It rested and reflected.
It rested and reflected?
- What did the pigeon reflect on?
- The fact that it had no money.
- What was that?
- The fact that it had no money.
That it had no money? Gosh.
- What happened then?
- It flew home.
And then it flew home? I see.
- Then the poem ends.
- And then the poem ends?
What a beautiful poem.
I say we give Wilma
a warm applause!
What the hell do you want?
- We're sort of lost.
- What? Turn the music down.
- What was that?
- We're lost.
- What do you mean, "lost"?
- We don't know where we are.
No?
We're looking for an address
that doesn't seem to exist.
Indeed.
We have the directions,
but they seem completely off.
Yeah, it's all wrong.
We're looking for a store
called Party.
Yeah.
The owner is called Bengtsson.
He owes us money.
Yeah, $13,800.
Really?
What line of work are you in?
- The entertainment business.
- Indeed.
We sell novelty items.
We want to help people
have fun.
So what kind of stuff
are you selling?
- We can show you.
- Alright.
One of our best selling items
for a while now
with extra long fangs.
Then there's the classic
laugh bag.
Known to bring out a smile
at parties,
both at home or in the office.
We want people
to have a good time.
Then there's a new item
we have a lot of faith in.
The Uncle One-Tooth.
You there, get out.
You!
No women in the establishment.
Out!
No women in the establishment!
Listen up, goddammit.
No women in the establishment!
Out!
Out, damn it!
Provosts, forward!
Let that man taste the whip.
Show respect
to His Majesty the King.
That's right.
His Majesty the King
is thirsty.
Very thirsty.
His Majesty wants
something to drink.
That's right.
- Beer perhaps?
- No.
Excuse me, sparkling water?
- Mineral water?
- Affirmative.
His Majesty the King
would appreciate it...
if that young man
filled the glass
for His Majesty the King.
That was good.
Splendid.
Now that sly Russians will
receive a proper walloping.
- They deserve to.
- Yes, your Majesty.
His Majesty thinks...
a man that young and handsome
belongs to the battlefield.
You can sleep
in the King's tent.
- Captain Bjlke!
- Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!
His Majesty the King
wishes to hear a song.
- Carry out!
- Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!
- Lieutenant Flask!
- Yes, Captain!
- Yes, Captain!
Company, marching song!
One, two, three, four...
The army of Charles XII
is a hundred thousand strong
The army of Charles XII
is a hundred thousand strong
The army of Charles XII
is a hundred thousand strong
as he's marching through smoke
on his road so long
Why can't we come in?
Only tenants have access.
Those are the rules.
Sorry.
But they are here.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm sure you know
why we are here.
Yes.
Who's signature is this?
It's mine.
Do you understand
what it is you've signed?
Well, yes.
It's an agreement, a contract.
You're required
You haven't. Why not?
We've had some bad luck lately.
My partner had an accident.
He stepped out in the street
without looking
and got hit.
By a bicycle.
He hasn't been able to walk
since then.
And I haven't been
in the best of my health either.
We don't care
about your health.
We want to be paid
for our products.
- We're a bit short of money.
- Indeed.
We've been down on our luck.
Indeed.
We've been dealing with people
who don't pay.
Just like you two bastards!
- Can you open the door?
- You're not getting in here.
- Why not?
- You're drunk.
I haven't been drinking.
I can smell it
from a mile away.
- I just wanted to take a nap.
- Come back once you are sober.
You know the rules.
I haven't had a drop all day!
Damn.
- Rules are meant to be followed.
- Exactly.
Pay us what you owe us.
You have fourteen days.
Then there won't be
fun and games anymore!
- Did you understand?
- Yes.
It won't be fun
and games anymore.
It won't be fun
and games anymore.
Understood?
I was supposed to attend
a lecture tonight.
Major-General Sandberg...
would talk about
orderly withdrawal.
But when I got there,
it was cancelled, of course.
I left home...
early, of course.
I wanted to catch
the 7:
22pm bus.It started raining,
of course...
and I had no umbrella,
of course.
So I decided to hurry back home
and get it...
of course.
But it wasn't, of course.
On my way to the bus stop
the rain got even heavier,
and I got soaking wet,
of course.
Next to the bus stop
I saw it stoping...
and leaving me behind.
So I missed it.
Of course.
So I had to walk my way,
of course.
When I arrived...
not a single person was there,
of course.
Just a note on the door...
saying it had been cancelled.
It was very unfortunate,
of course.
I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine.
I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine.
Hi.
What are you doing?
Listening to this song.
It's so beautiful...
but horribly sad too.
What he sings at the end.
That he's going to heaven
to meet his parents.
How horrible.
- Then why listen to it?
- I can't help it.
I've tried to stop,
but I can't.
You need to see a doctor.
This is not normal.
I'm actually worried about you.
So am I.
What's going on?
