Then we will all drown.

No. if the sea rises, so does the ship.

How many are you?

Don't the whole family come running.

One person is enough.

They keep popping out babies those people.

Come over here!

and bring something to carry

bread and such in.

Don't we get potatoes?

-No milk either?

-We don't carry goats aboard.

I don't want to stay on this ship.

I want to be at home.

potatoes. they didn't have any potatoes. We're get

-No milk either?

-No.

It stinks of piss here.

I need a clothes peg.

-When do we get to use the kitchen?

-Will probably be a while with so many people.

Karl Oskar, little-Marta is burning up.

And she won't eat.

How's it going?

Do you think she caught it off that

girl over there?

No, she's just got a cold.

That one over there has scrofula.

-Does she have to live so close.

-Who?

-the merry one?

-Why do they call her "merry"?

-Because she is never sad.

-And if anyone has cause to be sad, it's her.

-If anyone entitled were to cry blood. . .

-Never you mind about that.

We have so much else to think about. I'm sorry

you don't get to live with us.

You like going on the swing !

We hardly have enough water for the food,

and we can't ask the first mate for any more.

You can borrow some water of us.

We don't use that much.

-Thank you so much.

-Where are you headed when you get there?

We're not sure. What about you?

We have a son in Minnesota.

-Is the soil good there?

-The soil is great there.

-He's got 500 acres to himself.

-He's a good lad.

He wrote to tell us he had 500 acres.

We brought him a grinding stone as a present.

-They are very expensive in America.

-Are they?

I'm sick and hunched over.

I have a pain in my heart.

It let's up in the morning. But if I take a

pinch or two of 'snuff', it starts up again.

It's a pain. . .

. . .like this. but it starts up.

"Move the lips a little. But neither round

nor pout them."

'It is important that there is no

pouting of the lips,"-

-"especially when producing the

very common sj-sound."

-Do you understand this?

-Yes.

I'll show you. You mustn't go like this.

I don't pout my mouth like that

when I'm speaking Swedish either.

Say the sj-sound.

Seasick.

Seasick.

Don't stick your lips that far forward.

seasick.

-say it again.

-seasick.

seasick.

Yeah, you managed that alright.

It won't hurt to know a little

of the English language

so that when you step ashore you've

taken some of the burden off the holy spirit,-

-and that can't possibly be a sin.

Say:
"rail, star, shoot."

rail, star, shoot

rail, star, shoot

And continue in this way to learn

the proper placement of the tongue as well.

Stick out your tongue. Let me have a look at it.

You'll have no problem learning

English with that tongue.

Elin ! Elin, come over here!

I need your help over here.

. . .it started to bleed,

then he passed out,-

-but she prepared a compress to stop the blood,-

-and then she stopped the blood, and when he

woke up it was no longer bleeding.

It made him a bit slow afterwards.

But completely devoted to her even so.

She saved what she had cut off and dried it,-

-and they would bring it out and show people

when they had guests and such.

He only had a little left. That's why they

called lsak from Aranset "stumpy".

And that's as true as I stand here before you.

Ahh, what a life!

No farmer to force one out-

-to feed the horses.

and they feed you as well,

so much it leaves you out of breath.

It was good fortune that we come along.

I'm going to go ask them

how much further we have left.

How far do we have left to North-America?

Just as far as it is from North-America

to here, with a difference of about 50 miles.

You sheep's c*nt! Do you think we farmers

are stupider than you.

-What is it? You're not sick are you?

-I'm covered in lice!

Don't look at me. This is disgusting !

In all my life I've never had a louse,

until I came here. . .

Don't take it so hard.

You must have got them off another passenger.

It's you, you old whore, you've given me lice!

Your men have spread your lice all over the parish.

Now you're going to America

to spread your lice there as well?

Ah, I see your wife has brought her lice from home?

They probably didn't want to be separated from such

an upstanding woman. Control your wife instead.

Kristina from Korpamoen,

we're having this out!

You accuse me of infesting this ship with lice!

You accuse me of bringing vermin.

Danjel, she has insulted the body of Christ

and the purity of his lamb.

She only has herself to blame for having lice.

-Ask for forgiveness on your knees!

-I'd rather kneel to the devil himself!

-Did you hear, Danjel ! She swore!

-Shut up, the both of you !

Since I was born again I have been free of lice.

You won't find any lice on me!

-Have you no shame?!

-You accused me!

-Anyone who wants is free to look for themselves.

-Do not fall for the temptation of arrogance.

You shouldn't use your body to awaken

sinful lusts in the men folk.

I will clear my name!

Inga-Lena here will be my independent witness.

Come and look, Inga-Lena.

-Now you've done it.

-I called her a "whore". And I stand by that.

You shouldn't say such things about Ulrika.

-Well, Inga-Lena. Did you find any lice?

-No.

-Not as much a s a little egg?

-No.

There you see!

Kristina on your knees. . .

-Never! I'd rather jump in the ocean !

-On your knees, I said !

I don't want you on this ship any longer!

Slut! Whore!

Danjel, look!

Me too. . .I've got. . .

This creature is also one of God's creations.

It has been sent as a trial for us,

so that we may grow stronger.

Now we know things are really bad for Sweden,

even the lice are emigrating.

Dear Inga-Lena. . . Dear wife!

Dear wife, are you seasick?

-My dear, sweet Danjel. I'm sorry!

-Have you lost your faith?

Have you been listening to the enemy?

We're sinking !

It's just a storm. Be quiet.

-Can't you feel we're sinking !

-That's just the seasickness.

Karl Oskar, I can't breath.

You have as much air as me. Be quiet now!

I can't see where to vomit in this darkness.

I drowned a cat once. It suffered before it died.

-Do you think I will be forgiven?

-What are you talking about?

-I can hear the cat crying down there!

-You're just imagining things.

Oh God, I have been an unfaithful servant.

Let me out of here!

Come on, Robert.

You can't just lie here, you get that.

It can't be good for you

to lie all alone, Karl Oskar.

-Won't you eat a little?

-No.

-Did you manage to give the kids some food?

-They get enough to survive.

-It's a good thing their healthy.

-So will you be as soon as the weather calms.

Won't you take a spoon of the Prince's drops?

Am I fantasising, or. . .?

It is the little girl who died.

It wasn't seasickness it was scrofula.

-I have to say something.

-What?

I will never set my foot in America.

Yes, Karl Oskar. I've known it ever since

we boarded this ship.

I won't get out of here alive.

What are these fantasies of yours!
