- I don't want to buy you.

- That's what it says here.

Fine, then let's say that. Think of

what you could do with the money.

How many you could help.

Wouldrt you sell yourself for that?

- Come on. I know you would.

- You don't know sh*t about me.

I know all about you. You're a good

person. Naive, but well-intentioned.

Except for some water projects

and some schools in Bangalore -

- not one of your projects has

succeeded in the last 15 years.

You're good at finding people to help,

but not at financing it.

- You've been checking me out?

- Your orphanage has to close.

All your sweet little kids

will be on the street again.

You fat pig. Is it fun playing God,

you big, fat pig? It's not true.

I'm just saying that

you're lying to yourself.

You're an idiot

if you don't take this chance.

You can kiss my ass, Jorgen.

- Jacob, wait.

- I don't want to talk to you.

You're right, Jacob.

Don't touch me!

I don't have time for this.

I am sick, damn it!

I'm the one that is out of time.

Jacob, I am dying.

You have to stay and do

what we have decided.

- Nothing has been decided.

- Anna will need you.

And Helene...

And the boys...

They're so young, Jacob.

Look at me, Jacob!

Don't you see that there

is a point to all of this?

You have a responsibility here, Jacob.

Do I have to live on the other

side of the world to get your help?

Hi, Anna. It's Jacob.

Would you please call me?

I need to speak to you.

Call as soon as you can.

I'm leaving now. I have to go

take care of my hubbie.

Anna?

Is something wrong?

- Can I sleep here?

- Yes, of course.

Anna, what happened?

There.

- Hello.

- Mrs. Shaw, it's Jacob.

- Hi, Jacob. Want to talk to Pramod?

- No, just let him sleep.

- He's awake. I'll go get him.

- That's okay. I have to talk to you.

Is something wrong?

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Did we get the money?

- Jacob?

- Yes, I think so.

Then what's the problem?

I'm not coming back,

Mrs. Shaw.

Hi, sweetheart.

- Are you managing?

- I'm okay.

He's been calling all morning.

- I don't ever want to talk to him.

- No.

- Would you like some breakfast?

- No thanks.

- I need some breakfast.

- Yes, you do.

- Want anything?

- A glass of juice maybe.

What a little a**hole.

What a stupid little boy.

- Thank you for coming.

- Of course I came.

I'll get a room though

so I don't have to commute.

I brought my teddy bear pajamas,

some cookies and a glass of water -

- sloshing about in my bag.

I haven't been in Copenagen this often

since university. I delivered papers.

- You did?

- I sold flowers pretending to be blind.

Helene, you have to tell her.

Jorgen doesn't want us to.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Here comes breakfast.

It turns out I was hungry after all.

May I see?

You look so beautiful.

You're so lovely.

Yes, you are.

And you're so soft.

And you smell so nice.

I forgot your juice.

That's all we needed.

That dumb juice.

I'm sorry...

There. Jacob.

Right there.

- There.

- Thank you.

Jorgen, here you go.

Thanks.

Does anyone have a pen?

Thanks.

Anna signed yesterday,

so now I'm a poor man.

Almost.

- Your daughter is here.

- Anna?

Then show her in.

- Well, thank you for your time.

- You're leaving and she's coming?

I don't think she came

to talk to me.

- I didn't expect her to come today.

- Me neither.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

He had to hurry to the bank.

- Hi. Good to see you.

- Hi, Anna.

I didn't think you were

coming today.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why haven't you told me yourself?

Why do you keep lying to me?

Sorry, Anna...

I didn't want to make you sad.

Did you think I wouldn't be sad

if you just died one day?

- No...

- What?

I didn't want you to see me...

...as a dead man before I was.

I wanted us to be together as much

as possible before anyone knew.

If I knew you were dying, I wouldn't

spend my time doing other stuff.

And I want you to tell me

these things.

I want you to tell me.

Anna, you mustrt cry now.

It will hurt -

- but it will pass,

just like everything else.

And now Jacob will be with you.

I don't care about Jacob.

You're my father and you

didn't tell me you're dying.

I don't want anyone but you.

If you don't tell me you're dying,

I can't say the things I want to say.

To say that...

I love you -

- and that I don't want you

to die...

...and lots of other things...

Come over here.

I love you.

Shouldrt you hurry up?

They'll be here soon.

You look great.

Thank you.

There, come on.

- Are you still up?

- It's skateboarding.

Is it skateboarding?

Is it exciting?

- Move!

- It's really exciting.

Move!

Then you have to go to bed

in half an hour.

Sleep tight.

Jorgen was a diplomat,

so he was sent down there.

He sat down in the chair

and he didn't say a word.

Finally Baunsgaard asks,

will they do it by 3 -

- or will we have to pay overtime?

Jorgen said, you won't have

to pay overtime at least.

I just fired all 42 of them.

This story gets better and better.

Last time it was 32.

I don't know the cost in dollars and

cents, but we almost went bankrupt.

But we had integrity.

Integrity, Jorgen.

- And cheers to that, Jorgen.

- Thanks.

Cheers.

- You're not drinking much tonight.

- I probably shouldn't get drunk.

I'll just start crying.

I feel obliged to say thank you

for all the kind words.

Now I'm not the type that likes

to hear my own voice -

- in such a well filled room.

But I am turning 48 after all.

And there was so much I didn't

manage to say when I turned 40 -

- and much has happened since,

so I think it's reasonable -

- that I be allowed to steal

ten minutes of your precious time.

Because it is. Time is precious.

The years have taught me that.

Helene...

I could stand here and brag

about you for hours.

But don't worry.

I know you don't want me to.

But I will say, that even though

you can't always feel it -

- I am extremely happy

that you're with me.

You are night and day,

the heaven and the seas for me.

The time I'm with you

and our wonderful children -

- confirms exactly

what I would have said.

Every acquaintance,

every friend, every person -

- who has a place in your heart...

It is the time with them -

- that really means something.

Nothing else matters.

Apart from the firm, of course.

We've expanded a lot recently.

We will continue to far

into the future, I hope.

Already today, cranes stand in

London, New York and Singapore.

It shouldn't be long before

we can sleep in our own buildings -

- when we visit

Houston and Manila...

I'll anticipate things a little

and invite you all to the opening -

- of our new headquarters in Singapore

on January 5th next year.

I'm sure my ten minutes are up,

but I am very grateful to you -

- for wanting to spend

the day with me.

And I would like to propose

a toast to the future. Cheers!

Jorgen?

I talked to the boys' teacher about

separating them after the holidays -

- and moving Morten into a different
