as extra kneipp.

In that case,

I say "bicycles".

Yes.

-Yes.

Radio.

Camping.

Swallow.

Bear.

Teddy.

Gsta Berling.

That one is Swedish, actually.

Then I say:
Wasa buggy.

There's no bicycle by that name.

Oh yes, there is.

It's a long-established bicycle brand.

Watch this. You just

push this button here and...

Do you have any

more sugar cubes?

Are you kidding me?

Have you really eaten them all?

What's the matter, Vernon?

It's a bit loose.

But you're bleeding!

Yes, they told me

I would be bleeding somewhat.

Sit down for a while.

Gee, you really

are bleeding.

Does it hurt?

-Yes, a bit.

Oh, Vernon,

you really are bleeding.

Oh, well, it's just some blood.

Why do you insist on

doing that nonsense?

You know full well

you need to be careful.

Come on!

We are leaving!

But...wait up.

Get a move on, Vernon!

I'll be ok, I guess.

You close

the door then.

-You do realize

that you cannot play

that balloon game...

...as long as Vernon goes

around with that head rig!

I agree.

Anyway, I'm sure that...

...Vernon won't be working

at the store anymore

when junior takes

over the business.

What other job could he do then?

Him? He's a jack of all trades.

-Phew!

-Pa! Konrad is awake.

-Huh?

Konrad's awake!

So, let's see now...

There...Then the bananas, right.

Sticky.

It won't peel...there!

It sure works a treat.

-Yes.

I wonder how much

electricity it's consuming.

Yeah.

I wonder whether it

has to be greased?

Greased?

A milkshake machine?

But isn't it

a kitchen machine then?

I can't get the lid off.

That's it.

Yes, yes,

I'm on my way.

He's so impatient.

-What weird stuff this is.

Anything left in there now?

Yes, there's some all the

way to the back, you see.

Yes, that'll have to do.

Let's hang this here.

Tomorrow Cylindia Voelund is coming.

-And Jim.

Good thing that we have

sanded the road.

Yes.

Was the father of

Cylindia Voelund Danish?

No, he was more of a German.

German?

Anyhow, tomorrow

she'll be here.

- And Jim.

Good thing that we have

bought rice for making porridge.

Yes.

By the way, Blomdal junior

told me that...that

...the only thing Jim inherited

from that rich American aunt of his...

was a big box of cinnamon.

-Cinnamon?

Yes.

And Blomdal also told me that...

-Junior?

-Yes, of course.

You see, he told me

Jim was abused as a kid.

-Good Heavens! Child molestation?

-Yes,

that's what it amounts to.

You see, he said that

...his dad had strangled him! And then

he resuscitated him - all as punishment.

-So he killed him?

-Yes, one might say that.

Holy cow!

Are we really out of sugar?

You already know that.

-Not even sugar cubes?

Blomdal gorged himself on it as usual.

Yes, I can picture it.

When are you going

to fasten that clothes hook?

Can't you see I'm playing solitaire?

Cylindia Voelund is here soon.

-Yes.

-Well, I'm getting some more coal.

-Yes, you do that.

Ok, that's done.

Well, I'm going down

to the cellar.

-Very well, you do that.

Pa?

I don't understand why

the dirt always collects under here.

What are you guys up to?

Now I'll have to clean

here this time as well.

-Yes.

-Yes.

I'll put on some music then.

Jim has asked Cylindia Voelund

out tonight

-Moe?

-Yes.

I think Jim's porridge is done!

Yes, I'm on

my way.

Here's your porridge.

I guess he has brought his own cinnamon.

Moe, you mustn't dress so

lightly when you go outside.

Jim, I put the cinnamon

where the spare wheel is.

What about the spare wheel then?

I had to remove that.

I'm almost done now.

-Hurry up!

-Would you like some more porridge, Jim?

-Hell no!

Come take the vacuum cleaner.

Aw man, what's happened to you?

-It's nothing.

Your mouth is bleeding.

Why didn't you top the

porridge with cinnamon?

Jim. I'll be out in a minute.

-Fine

Thank you very much.

Oh, I almost forgot

about the lottery ticket.

Thanks.

Bye then, Konrad!

But we always buy two of

those special tickets?

But they stopped selling

those a long time ago.

Are you going to ask the

same questions every single time?

Don't argue, boys.

Yes, about the payment.

Here's 100 from me...

-And 100 from me.

Thanks, the both you

No, I'll carry that.

Bye then.

Today I really need to talk to

the postman about our retirement benefits.

Yes. Please don't forget

about the magazines either.

Would you be so kind as to give

Konrad some milkshake if he knocks?

There's some pre-made

milkshake in the fridge.

That's real good of you.

What nice eggs you

have there... Konrad.

Do you understand what I say?

I mean, it's not easy knowing

how much you really understand.

You not being from

these parts, I mean.

That foreigner who opened

a store next to Blomdal junior

...well, he...

...he is a pretty decent

fellow, you know...

but his Norwegian was so poor

that everyone made

fun of all the signs he put up.

Yes...yes.

It's just him in that store.

And he has no bathrooom

there either,...

...so every time he needed

to go, he had to cross the road

down from where he lives.

And then he'd put up a sign that read:

''I'm back suddenly.''

How about that!

Just you keep sitting there, Hen!

Give me my milkshake, Mo-e!

That's the one done, Konrad.

Let's have a look at the other, too.

Coots?

Cuckoo?

Cuckoo?

Cuckoo?

Aha, cuckoo!

Money?

What's this then?

"From Pa?"

Finishing out?

Strange that he isn't asking

for his milkshake.

What have you done to Konrad's eggs?

-Me?

-Yes, you!

At the very least you

can do the dishes then!

Hello?

Yes?

Is she...dead?

Is he to stay...here?

Ok.

I see.

The priest wants to speak with you.

-With me?

-Yes, with you.

God bless you, Moe.

Bless me?

-Yes.

Good morning. We're back with an hour

of entertainment that should appeal to all.

I'm reading in one of today's

morning papers that Operation Firewood...

...is under full way. It mostly involves pensioners,

who are chopping wood, packing it in sacks,

and then bringing it to old people

who live in cold and drafty apartments.

So let's say hip hooray

for all fit pensioners

who are helping those

who aren't quite as fit...

Moe?
