They're worth a hell of a lot.

- If I 'd known I'd have taken them.

- Idiot.

What else did she say?

She just talked

about the burglary

You tell her we did it?

I bet you 'd say it

if you had the chance.

Did she wonder why

somebody sniffed her dress?

Wait for the bell.

What's the matter with you?

Find out how the style

the author uses is constructed

Then write what ever you want,

but try to copy the author's style.

- You can go first...

- Thanks.

"Come, my children

with brown weathered cheeks.

Follow me as a troop...

- keep your weapons ready!"

Ah, sorry. I don't get it!

- It doesn't even rhyme?

- All poetry doesn't rhyme.

But try to find something

in the style, and in the tone

I thought we were going

to work with movies...

It's not just movies here, but

dramatic performance as well.

It's important to master the text

in both analysis and performance

But you just want to do "action".

Listen. Try to find

the tone of the text.

"Pioneers! Oh pioneers!

We can not wait here

We must march and win...

- meet and withstand the danger.

We are young and tenacious

everyone depends on us.

Pioneers! Oh pioneers!"

"Sisters. Oh sisters.

I long for you so.

I burn by day...

- and burn by night...

You know zero of my desires,

Sisters...

And you know nothing

at all of my lust."

And what are you doing here?

Too late for small boys to be out.

Go up now.

Lena?

No... Stop it...

Wake up, wake up

you damned sh*t head.

Shut up, shut up or I'll shoot.

Get your clothes on

and get out of here. Leave

Get up or I'll shoot you cock off.

- Hurry up, damn it.

- Yea, yea...

Come on damn you.

- Get your fat ass up.

- Stop it, damn it.

Take it easy now.

Hurry up then

Quick.

I'm on my damned way.

Take it easy.

What are you doing?

Sh*t head's moving.

Come on, speed up, damn you.

Hurry.

Get out!

Don't slam the door.

Take it easy.

We won't be seeing him again.

I took his key.

- It was my fault.

- It was not.

Yes, it was.

I should have shot the bastard.

Don't tell Mama. Promise!

Promise. She'd never forgive me

Okay, remove the pillows,

clear the floor.

Stand facing each other,

two and two.

- We're doing a movement exercise.

- Spread out.

You can use the whole floor,

down there too.

- Okay, put your hands like this...

- There's room over there.

With space between. Like that.

We'll do a movement exercise

based on that you...

How are you doing?

Well...okay.

You look sad.

You down there, you must

participate in this too.

I'd rather work with movies, too

Isn't that right?...

Patricia was really happy

to hear you were in my class.

- She says you're her hero.

- Oh, it was nothing.

By the way, it's

her birthday today.

I thought...maybe you'd

like to come to the party?

Hey, look where you're going!

I'll take it myself.

Excuse me.

Hi.

This is too bad.

- 32 guys and not a single chick.

- Too bad.

Check this! I'll hone it clown

and it will cut any lock at all

Great.

- Hey, I can't make training today.

- Why?

Well, there's something

I've got to do.

- See you later. Hi.

- What do you gotta do?

I just can't. See you.

What the hell?!

Who's been shooting

in the bedroom?

What?

There's a bullet in the wall.

I scared Sh*t Head off with a gun.

What?

It's okay. He moved.

How so moved?

He won't be coming back here.

You stupid kid.

What've you done?

Where'd you get the gun?

- I borrowed it.

- From whom?

I can't tell you.

Where do you keep it?

What are doing, John-John?

Why? Why?

Answer me!

He's a sh*t head...

Hi.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Yes...?

Yea, hi...

I was looking for a party here.

- John-John! Hi.

- Hi.

How does it feel to have a birthday?

A lot of presents?

- John-John? Hi.

- Hi there.

- Hi, Majken...

- John-John.

He's a hero! He saved me

from drowning in Winter Bay.

Really? Somebody ought

to give him a medal.

Frank, look who's here!

Did you bring me a present?

As a matter of fact, I did.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

How'd you know it was

Patricia's birthday?

Well, Elisabeth and I

are in the same class.

Really. What a coincidence.

Oh, thank you John-John!

'BYE-bye

- Bye.

- Nice pool you've got.

- Yes, it's kind of...nice.

- Lisbeth, you still swim?

- Sure I do.

- 20 minutes every morning.

- Yes, it's good for the thighs.

- You've got to keep fit.

- I know.

You don't have to swim, do you?

Hi.

- Maybe you want to see my room?

- Sure.

- Is it up there or...?

- Yes.

It's a little messy.

You've got a lot of cd's...

That's Satie...

- Have you heard it, it's great?

- No, I don't think so.

Do you like this kind of music?

Yes, I like classical.

My grandfather was a conductor

And Mama was a pianist...

- or was until she married Papa

You may borrow it if you want.

Yea, cool.

I can't write in

my diary any more.

Damned shame.

What is it?

Ah, nothing.

John-John, where are you?

- Hi.

- Hi.

You get this instead of a medal!

Can you do magic tricks?

No, but I can do this...

Once again...

Did you find it?

Sure, it's here. I'm coming.

- What's the insurance pay?

- Full value.

Full indemnity?

They're priceless. Miro, damn it.

See you Monday.

You want to do

something Saturday?

Saturday? Like what?

- The carnival, maybe?

- You leaving already, John-John?

Yea, I'm going now...

Funny you ending up in the same

class when you live so far apart.

What do you say, is there

any future in acting?

I don't know.

We had a burglary Sunday.

I already told him.

- Nasty business.

- Yea, I understand.

I guess I'll got to go now.

So long.

Here's for last time, you a**hole.

You're not cocky any more, huh?

Now you don't carry a piece.

Come up and fight, damn it!

You're a boxer, aren't you?

- Calm down! Don't kill the kid.

- Lay off. Don't get mixed up in it.

I've been like a father to this

bastard, and he's still ungrateful.

Damned sh*t. Come on now.

Try to look a little happier.

We're having fun now.

What's this? Where'd a little sh*t

like him get so much money?

I'll keep them, you've been

a naughty a**hole.

Not the pipe.

This bastard waved a loaded gun

in my face. He's gonna die.

Wait. Wait. I know where

more money is. Take it easy. Wait.

Several millions.

- Stop. What are you doing?

- Why not...for money?

She swims 20 minutes every morning

And the alarm isn't on.

You just go in and take them.

Why are the paintings

under the bed?

Some have money

under the mattress.

Shut up now.

Nothing funny about this?

No, no. Foolproof.

The owner can't call the cops.

He's stolen them from himself.

If you're lying, you're dead.

Get it?

My God, John-John,

what have you done? Let me see...

This is crazy. What happened?

Sit down.

It hurts so bad!

You've got to tell me who did it.

How can I help you if...

I've never seen his name

in any movie.

Whose?

Dad's.

Maybe he doesn't work

in the movies any more.

A lot can happen in 15 years.

Do you think he's

still in New York?

I don't know.
