Jernanger (Shooting the Sun AKA The Storm in My Heart) Page #2

---

-And nowyou're visiting ''Sunbeam''?

-''Sunbeam''!

Shall we look at that pump?

You've got a real problem.

That pipe there is standing under water.

Thank God you're here to see it.

-Doesn't look easy to fix.

-What do you mean?

Well, in So Paulo we had leakage

problems on the starboard side.

We moved the ballast over to port side,

so that we could weld it dry on starboard.

-l guess l have to fix it myself.

-Have you ever welded before?

lt's not that difficult.

Eivind, you can't weld underwater

yourself. lt's not that simple.

Hey-hey, Wolf!

Have you been on the lookout here?

He likes you.

-He's usually skeptical around strangers.

-That's important for a watchdog.

He's Daddy's watchdog.

Guards the beer and everything.

Listen. Did you say that you can

get welding equipment?

Underwater equipment, too?

What are you doing?

Well, then, l'm finished here.

We'll see if it holds.

-With luck, it'll be smooth sailing.

-''Smooth sailing''! Listen to him!

lt's fixed!

l'll go and have a beer with Wolf.

What kind of work do you do

when you're not welding?

l travel around the world,

and write about it afterwards.

There are two ways to do it, you know.

The easy way,-

-when you buy plane tickets, and

come home when the money's gone.

And the hard way is?

You walk out the door, without money,

without plans, away from it all.

You haven't come very far.

Why not?

l...love my girlfriend.

Negroes, lndians and dancers.

A big fellow comes in

with two steaks, potatoes and gravy!

Charlie started crying

in sheer happiness.

And suddenly,

in true Stavanger dialect he said,

''Did you order chewed crabs?''

-What does that mean?

-Those were the days!

-We were arrested once...

-ln So Paulo?

-Yeah!

-You had to sit right where l'm cleaning.

Eivind, have a beer.

We're having a great time!

All you do is sit here

and drink all day. Get a life.

Do you knowthat one?

l'm on my way home to Stavanger

After many long years

l've seen the world as a wanderer

like the adventurer does

-ls it you who's here?

-Yes, maybe it's not a good time?

Of course it's a good time.

That's good.

-What?

-That it's a good time.

l mean...

Not a day in my life has passed...

...when it wouldn't have been

a good time to see you again.

That was nicely put.

But do come on board, dear.

Oh Stavanger, in easy ways

Living life, day by day

Good boy!

Oh, you're such a good boy.

-Come on! l have a whole beer left.

- Let's go.

A few of the regulars. They're harmless.

Would you like anything to drink? Soda?

l sawldar at the funeral, and so l

thought maybe, l should take a trip.

ldar said that you're not completely well.

Don't listen to ldar.

He's a lawyer, for Christ's sake.

He shits his pants

when he sees a hospital.

-He said it's something with the heart?

-Rubbish.

l'm healthy like a seventeen year old.

You'd better watch it.

l brought some dried reindeer hearts.

From my mother.

l haven't tasted any for 30 years.

That's my favorite food.

-We should have a shot to go with it.

-Hell, yes!

Nowthere's no one left at home. Katrine

has grown up. Katrine is my daughter.

Do you want to see her picture?

She studies in Sorbonne,

or at Sorbonne. What ever...

She's pretty like her mother.

Flying makes you thirsty.

Have you noticed that?

No.

l've never flown.

Never flown?

Are you afraid?

No.

l am not.

l wasn't quite prepared for that.

l wasn't either...

but that's howwe've always been.

Always?

You... You didn't come to the funeral.

No.

l've never really understood

that with Gunnar Joki.

He was a good man.

What can l say?

He was there.

-l've just never understood that.

-What?

Well, it's none of my business.

ldar was at our wedding and

Gunnar's funeral.

Yes. You have my condolences.

-We were married for 25 years!

-Well, ldar and l never talk about that.

Yes, things from up north.

So mentioning me here

on board has not been permitted?

While others marry and have kids, we

live on in a meaningless heap of regrets.

l always meant to come north and

get you when l got everything in order.

But things never got in order,

so l just stayed here waiting.

What were you waiting for?

l lost count of all the times

l looked out at the sea.

They laughed at me for waiting. Finally,

l too understood, that it was just a joke.

Go back to the waste land and marry

a new dim-wit to be successful with.

What the hell

are you doing here, anyway?

l thought l had nothing to lose.

But l was wrong.

l'm leaving now.

Beatrice?

Bea?

God dammit!

So let me sum it up for you,

my little old Eivind-

-and say that you are a ghost

that l never should have met.

One thing l knowfor sure. Bea didn't

come this distance just to curse you out.

This is your own doing.

What's this?

You are not f***ing invited here!

-We're closed now. Go!

-Alright, alright. l'm leaving.

-And you're fired.

-Fired? l just started!

The job is finished.

lt's over, it's all over.

Get your things and get off the boat.

You have 5 minutes.

Get the f*** out! lt's closed.

Give me a beer or l'll jump

in the sea one more time.

You're just like foot fungus:

you keep coming back.

lt's just so damn difficult...

l don't know.

We're not communicating

with one another...

l love her, though...

So l don't really see why we...

And l don't understand why you didn't

go up to your girl and just stayed there.

l was free.

She suddenly awakes at dawn.

She awakes at dawn

and lies there listening.

She can't hear anything

and gets out of bed.

She runs down the stairs.

And goes out.

lt's early.

lt's neither dark nor light.

There's a cold wind

but she can't feel it.

She's warm

and the blood knocks in her ears.

She turns towards the sea.

lsn't there something out there?

Then she sees it.

lt's Jernanger. Sailing up the fjord.

And l'm standing at the helm.

But then let's do it now!.

-Eivind!

-Hm?

-But then let's do it now!.

-What?

Travel north, of course!

-l'll go with you.

-Drink beer and talk less.

l mean it.

l'm your crew, Eivind.

Here we are now.

And there are some rough waters.

lt's all the way up here.

-Here is the Jernangerfjord.

-That's damn far!

When you start with air, you have to

wait until the needle is up to 25 bar.

Turn here. Then jerk it over to start.

You'll see the pistons start pumping.

Then you move it to Work. Do it.

One more time.

Consider it a promotion.

Hi! You'll see this guy on sundeck. We

have to throw a proper fare well party.

Nowit's me eating you.

Who would have thought?

Back in the days in So Paulo,

We were nearly arrested.

Some woman we acquainted

reported us to the police after.

Nice that you came. Really nice.

-l'm considering speaking with a doctor.

- Yeah?

At the hospital. To have an abortion.

You can't just decide that!

You can't just do that.

l didn't think you cared.

You knowl do.

Kris, we don't have a lot of time.

We have to be together in this.

Erika, l'm going up north with this boat.
