Det store lærred: Regel nr. 1 Page #4

---

I was thinking...

The other day...

I shouldn't have walked out on you.

That was silly.

Maybe it's time we talked a little.

Just someone begging door to door.

Caroline, what you said

the other day...

Get lost, small fry.

We're not interested.

Caroline.

- Caroline, are you in there?

- Where were we?

I'll get it.

Honeybun, open up, damn it.

I want to talk to you.

Sweetie.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I was such an idiot.

But maybe this break

was a good thing.

It's given me time

to think and think and think...

And I can see now

that I need to work a few things out.

Who am I?

How do others see me?

Damn it, Caroline, I love you.

- And I'll do anything...

- Did you call that plumber?

- Michael, are you still here?

- Out!

I thought I heard someone whining.

Where's that tequila-b*tch of yours?

I know I've done a lot of stupid

things. But it meant nothing.

Can't we just go home

and talk things over?

Want a cup of tea to go?

- Well, I can't stay here forever.

- You shouldn't move for my sake.

Please.

Anything but that plank.

Do you remember that

extra TV we had lying around?

I made a shelf for it.

Now you can watch TV in bed.

- Are you hungry?

- A little.

When we met... that Michael guy,

whatever happened to him?

It's as though the last few years...

Straight out of the oven.

It's as though I've been avoiding

a lot of stuff. Bottling things up.

But that's over.

For example, you've always said

that Kenneth was a fool.

And you're completely right.

He ruins everything.

He just can't take care of

other people's things.

He took my race car the other day

and now it's just...

Completely smashed up.

- Michael...

- Kenneth's going straight to nowhere.

And I told him if he comes round

I'm going to bash his head in.

That's the real Michael.

He can stand up for himself.

Do you like the sausage?

It's good.

Cheers.

Isn't it great?

It didn't cost much

and we did have some savings...

It's beautiful there. It's only

three miles to the nearest lake.

And all it took was a small

loan to buy a boat too.

A small loan?

It will be hard to start with,

but we're two.

Just wait till you see it.

It's what we've always dreamed of.

I'll make some coffee.

Caroline?

Caroline?

Sarah, what are you doing?

I thought I would do

anything for you.

But I couldn't stand the thought

of them cutting me. I just couldn't.

I couldn't.

I panicked.

I felt like...

Isn't there a risk that the body

will reject the new kidney?

Yes.

I know people who

have had several transplants.

But I've been lucky, Sarah.

I have to eat my pills,

but I feel fine now.

Just the fact that I'm not

on dialysis is such a relief.

You're crazy.

Is there more of that champagne?

Men are pigs.

Maybe you just need

to look elsewhere.

Maybe you'll fall for

a garbage man or a school teacher.

I don't want a garbage man

and definitely not a school teacher.

You starfucker.

Leave that one hanging please.

We haven't got a man around

to take care of that sort of thing.

That's the other phone.

Hang on, I'll check who it is.

- Hello?

- It's Patrick.

- What do you want?

- It's been a while. Let's meet up.

- You're one special brand of stupid.

- What do you mean, babe? I miss you.

You know what, Patrick?

Up yours.

It was just an obscene caller.

That sounds fine. See you then.

What is it you don't understand?!

It's Sebastian, is Caroline home?

Sebastian? Who do you think you

are treating my sister like that?

- I called to say I'm sorry.

- That's always a good bandaid.

- Can I talk to Caroline?

- Nope. Apologize first.

My ex came by to pick up some stuff.

It wasn't something I planned.

- Caroline hates smooth talkers.

- I'm not a smooth talker.

Can I talk to Caroline?

She's not home.

Hi.

Hi.

I was thinking maybe we could

go have a cup of something.

I have neither the time

nor the inclination.

Okay.

You also need to pick up

your lamp some time.

Listen.

If you think you can -

- come waltzing in here and say,

"Oops, sorry", and everything's okay -

- then you're mistaken.

Caroline, she just came

to pick up some of her stuff.

Thanks.

Will I see you again?

Maybe.

I just need to get my bag...

Two seconds.

I had to hurry, so I didn't

have time to buy any.

I know they're a little...

You've spoken to my sister.

She said it was a sure thing

with a bunch like that.

Did you sleep

at the laundromat last night?

Was he nice?

Sarah, Rule Number One: always

keep a bottle of champagne on ice.

I've got something for you.

- For me?

- Yes.

- A present?

- You could call it that. Here, open it.

And your own keys.
