Life Eternal Page #6

Of course it is!

- No!

You know what?

It's been a hard day.

If I were you, I'd go to bed early.

I wish I could hate someone

for everything that happened.

But the problem is...

it's my own fault.

Some things are my fault too.

And he's to blame for some things.

The blame is kind of spread out.

- Yes,

but I must go on living.

With the guilt.

And without him.

Then get therapy.

Won't that work?

Can't a therapist get therapy?

Yes, but with whom?

Therapists are all crazy.

I could come by every now and then

to see how you're doing.

With your guilt. And just in general.

- You?

Only if you want, of course.

And why would you do that?

- Your father...

Your father was the only friend I ever had.

Once we hitchhiked to Finland together.

Really?

To Finland?

Yes. Somehow he set his mind

on meeting the real Jarno Saarinen.

So for 2 weeks that summer

we hitchhiked to Turku.

Because that's where he lived, Saarinen.

You want some too?

Now listen up.

We get out of the car in Turku,

and your dad says to the first Finn he sees:

"Hi, we're Austrians,

we hitchhiked here

to meet Jarno Saarinen."

The Finn is totally happy that two Austrians

have come all the way for that,

and he puts us in his car,

and drives us to Jarno Saarinen's house -

it was a log house on the seaside.

Two Yamaha motorcycles are parked in front,

we get into position -

the Finn, our Saarinen, and me -

and ring.

Nothing happens.

We ring a second time.

Then we hear someone coming.

And then the door opens,

and in front of us stands a 50-year-old guy

with a bald head.

It was the heating contractor Jarno Saarinen

from Turku.

And he wasn't even related.
