Efter Brylluppet

---

No, you've already had some.

Go away!

Come on, Pramod.

You have to go to class.

- They want to meet you.

- Me? What do you mean?

- They want to meet you.

- Why?

I don't know.

They just want to meet you.

The CEO is Danish. He wants to shake

your hand before giving us the money.

Perhaps he doesn't trust us Indians.

- Let him come, I'll shake his hand.

- They want you to go to Copenagen.

I know what he wants,

but I'm not going there.

"This is the cat..."

"...that killed the rat."

It's not possible.

I can't leave the kids.

"That lay in the house..."

"...that Jack built."

Pramod has a birthday soon.

It's not possible, Mrs. Shaw.

"That worried the cat..."

"...that killed the rat."

And then I have to go all the way to

Denmark to shake somebody's hand.

He'll take a photo of me and show

all his rich friends he's done good.

This is not up for discussion.

- I have to think about it.

- No, you won't think about it.

You will go, wear a suit, get

a haircut, behave nice and smile.

Please, Jacob.

You know as well as I do

that this is our last chance.

Otherwise we'll have to close down.

Then these children will

have nowhere to go.

They'll be on the streets.

Please.

You owe the children that much.

This is our last chance.

Are there only rich people

where you are going?

- Yes.

- No one is poor?

- No. Some have more than others.

- If I was rich, I'd be happy.

- I know, but people there are idiots.

- You hate all the rich, Mr. Jacob.

Is it because the houses are far

apart that people are far apart?

I'll tell you all about it

when I get back, right?

What's wrong? Pramod?

You're not coming back.

I know it.

I promise that I'll be back

for your birthday.

I told you so.

Pramod, come on.

Go away! Go away!

- Come on...

- Just go away!

Mr. Jacob!

- Why do you have to go?

- Because I have to.

I have to go home

and get some money.

So we can buy new books, medicine

and food. And help all the others.

Do you promise to come

to my birthday?

I swear. And I'll be calling you

every other day.

Okay?

And that's not going to be a lot of

times, because I'll be home in 8 days.

Perhaps you can take me

there one day.

Perhaps.

- Are you hungry?

- Yes.

"In the yard, a flock of sparrows

saw him and began to shout:"

"Tit tit! Tit tit!

Oh, look at Nils Goosey-boy."

"Look at Thumbietot!

Look at Nils Holgersen Thumbietot!"

"Cock-a-doodle-do,

cried the cock."

"Cock-a-doodle-do!"

"Then the hens came.

Peck, peck, peck..."

We'll stop here for tonight.

You have to sleep.

Into bed with you.

Sleep tight.

Good night.

Good night, Morten.

Good night, Martin.

It will be fun to see

what important thing I forgot.

Yes, it will be lovely.

As long as there's food and wine,

everything will be fine.

- You're not nervous at all?

- No, I'm looking at it as a test.

- Of what?

- Anna will marry many times.

The first wedding is always hard.

With a little luck, it will be okay.

Jrrgen... Jrrgen?

Yes?

- Mother, aren't you in bed?

- I can't get on line.

Don't speak to me like I'm senile.

Why can't I get online?

There's poker in three minutes.

Why did we have to get

that damn wireless network?

But it's working now. Thank you.

- Sleep tight.

- Don't stay up all night.

Sorry.

- Could we teach her to knock first?

- I've tried, but she's senile.

Only when she wants to be.

- I'll send her to a home tomorrow.

- Do you promise?

- Come back soon.

- Bye, Jacob.

- Bye bye.

- Bye, Mr. Jacob.

That's me.

- May I take your bag?

- No, thanks.

Please step inside.

- Jacob Pedersen?

- That's me.

Christian Refner,

I'm here to pick you up.

Do you have a coat?

No? Then let's go.

- The room's okay?

- It's fine.

It used to be a department store.

Funny isn't it?

- So, Jacob with a C or a K?

- It's with a C.

I'm Christian with a C too.

- So you're meeting Jrrgen?

- Yes.

- Do you know him well?

- He's my father-in-law.

- Or will be on Saturday.

- Congratulations.

Jrrgers fantastic.

He's brilliant, really brilliant.

- People often fear him, but don't.

- Good.

He's won'th over a billion

and started out flat broke.

- But you can't tell.

- That he started flat broke?

No, no...

- Jacob Pedersen is here.

- Have a seat. Just for a moment.

- It was nice to meet you, Jacob.

- Same here. Good luck.

Give my regards to Jrrgen.

Hi.

- Busy?

- A little.

- That looks nice on you.

- Thanks.

- Have a nice day, okay? Bye.

- Bye.

Jacob.

Welcome.

My name is Jrrgen Hansson.

- Jacob.

- This way.

Was the flight okay?

Good.

This is where we live.

You can see Sweden on a clear day.

If you feel like it, that is.

A drink?

No thanks.

Cheers.

You have a video that can give me

a sense of what goes on there.

It will take more than

a video to show you that.

Meaning?

Bombay has over

a million child prostitutes.

Four or five times that

suffer from malnutrition.

They're not on the video.

Then there are those who die

every day of... Well, what...

Minor illnesses, minor infections...

Completely minor things -

- that could be cured for tiny sums

if one only had the will.

We've developed a sort

of priority list...

You're an angry man. That's good.

It gives you a lot of drive.

The educational supplies we need

include books, tables, chairs, beds -

- but what we need most

urgently is medicine.

Eventually we'd like to...

Yes, yes.

We'd like to take twice

as many off the streets.

- Would you like one?

- No, thanks.

We'd like to take in twice as many

and vaccinate them -

- which could be done all for less

than five kroner a day.

And we'd like to change

our food program...

- Do they all sleep in the same room?

- We have 45 at the moment.

We go to an area, and in two minutes,

But after five minutes,

there are 500 kids.

- I don't need to see more.

- The new kids...

It's an extremely impressive project

you have established.

Very impressive.

I've looked at different ways

I might be able to help.

Thank you very much.

In all, I found five different projects.

Yours is one of the most interesting.

Thank you. We're glad to hear it.

But may I ask you why?

Like I said...

It's a good project.

I was thinking of an annual donation

of one million dollars for four years.

But I need more time

to think through -

- which projects I want

to get involved with.

So don't get your hopes up

too high.

Okay... I was given

a different impression.
