When a Man Comes Home Page #4

Shut up.

- You can't die from it.

Bread out of the freezer. Now.

- What about the menu?

Forget the menu.

We'll cut the pigeons in half.

We add some foie gras.

Dry, red-hot pans.

Flame them in a cognac broth.

Vegetables, artichokes, peas,

green beans.

I want plenty of vegetables now!

Here it is.

- I need shoes. Not that pink thing.

Your shoes are fine.

You don't have to be so dressed up.

I can't wear my sneakers.

- It's just your father.

Wear your sneakers. They're fine.

- Claudia isn't here, is she?

No. You should

have seen her this evening.

A good boy doesn't do that.

- A good boy follows his heart.

I'm in a hurry.

- Sebastian.

Who is this girl you've met?

- We couldn't see her.

Shut up, Anna.

- Guess.

Is it Maria?

- Yes. Of course.

What? Maria?

I'm taking her away from here.

She might be a bit crazy,

but I don't care where we go.

As long as I have a litttle garden

and some kids and Maria.

My pills.

What are you doing?

Hi.

Are you rifling through the trash?

Are you done?

Yes.

Then I'd like to talk to you.

Are you okay?

Yes.

What happened to your mother?

- What?

Your mother.

I'm leaving.

- Was it deliberate?

The neighbor called. I know.

But eveyone's talking about it.

So perhaps you could stop

making a mess of things.

He came home to apologize.

He cried.

He said you had a nice time.

That's okay. I screwed up, too.

He doesn't know that yet.

But these things happen.

He loves me, Maria.

We're gettting married.

And that's why

you have to go far away. Very far.

I'd like to apologize.

I'd like to apologize?!

Yes?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

But an impurity was reported, and...

I didn't know you were here.

- Come on in, kid.

I'll show you to the bathroom.

I'm sorry about the mess.

The vase just fell over.

Everything's a terrrible mess.

It's this way.

I don't understand, Mr. Schmidt.

The toilet ought to have been cleaned.

Well...

It doesn't really matter.

I'm sorry.

What's the mattter?

- I just can't...

I can't help it.

I'm sorry.

Take it easy.

We understand each other. Come.

Have a little drink.

It's amazing how much

you young people here whine.

Life can be difficult, but the distressed

must stick together.

What do you use that for?

- This is my bear.

His name is Anthony.

Let me show you.

He makes a man out of me.

Do you see what I mean? Do you?

Growl...

What are you laughing at?

There's nothing to laugh at, kid.

Are you still laughing?

You'd better get one more.

Here.

- No, I shouldn't...

Go ahead.

I shot it in Vancouver, Canada.

Many years ago.

Time certainly does fly.

Take a look at this.

Look how happy I look.

Go ahead and laugh, but it's true.

There are boys, there are men,

and then there are bears.

Drink up.

Just a minute.

Are you alright?

- Yes. Fine.

Now I'm whining as well.

You can put your arrms

around me again.

Do you mind

standing here for a while?

I'm going to kiss you.

Wait.

That was a mistake.

Sorry.

Hello? Hi.

Did you talk to his mother?

I see.

Why?

I think I'll talk to Kristian about it.

I thought there was something up.

Where have you been?

We shoot deserters.

Sorry. I had to pick up some clothes.

I was invited to the party.

Who wasn't? If you don't get starrted,

there won't be any dinner.

Hey!

What's going on?

You're in his room, going to the party.

People are asking me questions.

What's this all about?

Nothing.

- Nothing?

Unacceptable. Fired.

We need the help of our Moorish

friends, who are one with nature.

That's all I can say right now.

Nice and quiet. Got that?

I want a flawless evening.

Ka-ma-te! Ka-ma-te!

- Kaa-u-ra! Kaa-u-ra!

Ka-ma-te! Ka-ma-te!

- Kaa-u-ra!

What's going on?

- They're just happy.

We're almost done

with the main course.

Fine. You're all fred.

I really can't take it.

Wa can't stop him.

It's all inthe genes.

Shut up!

Do you want something to drink?

I don't even know your name.

Maria.

- Yes. Maria, do you want something?

Yes, please.

Did you say your name was Maria?

Why?

We have to go to dinner now.

Someone's waiting for you.

Someone you know.

You know who it is. You're invited.

No, I haven't been invited.

That's a mistake.

Is it Sebastian?

Yes.

I know him, so it's best

not to tell him about this.

He doesn't care.

He's going to be married.

I wouldn't count on that.

Then she lied.

Who?

- Doesn't matter.

In some cases

it's best not to tell anyone.

Hi.

I was wondering

if you could find

some nice clothes

for the young lady.

Maybe the dress from Verona.

The one with the waist.

No more, Karl Kristian.

I can't take anymore.

No more. It's over now.

Completely over.

Please be seated.

And I'd like you to be quiet.

Hi.

In a minute the bells will ring.

- We're waiting for the bells.

I remember sitting

in the square with my mother.

And the bells rang.

I remember coming home

from school as a happy boy.

And...

And when I got married, they rang.

As well as when I left town.

Mind you,

during my whole childhood-

I was staring at a stupid cow.

I felt

life had come to a standstill

and that somewhere out there

life was passing me by.

Then I got beat up by my father, John

the Farmer, as some of you know.

Then I left town.

And somehow that cow in the field

was as big as the rest of the world.

But ever since...

...I've longed for the bells.

Well, they're about to ring.

Please be quiet and listen carefully.

Yes. In a few seconds. Now.

I fell asleep to that sound a sa child.

Let's have something to eat.

Cheers.

How long have you been mayor?

The old gray matter.

It's not what it used to be.

He's eating.

Has he eaten?

He's eating.

He's eating.

What's up?

He's eating.

- He's eating. Way to go!

We did it, boys!

I'm sorry. It's because

we have to protect ourselves.

Sebastian has been here a lot.

I only want to find out who he is.

I might as well tell you now.

Everyone will find out eventually.

Sebastian is Karl Kristian's son.

Our son.

Karl Kristian's and mine.

Are you okay?

Is something wrong?

- No, don't worry.

Sorry.

- Why are you crying?

What?

- I'm sorry.

What?

- I have to tell you something.

I'll break your neck!

Let mego!

Play!

We'll keep watch.

- They won't get past us.

Relax, Sebastian!

I've got a son.

Good evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

It's lovely to be here.

And it's lovelyto come home.

Excuse me

have you seen Sebastian?

No, certainly not.

And I don't wish to.

You're fired. All of you.

Let me go.

Take it easy!

What the hell is she doing here?

- Just talk to her.

What the hell are you doing?

Sebastian, it was a mistake.

Jesus Christ!

I'm leaving in a minute.

I'll pack my things and go away.

Sebastian

you're not stuttering anymore.

No.

What's he saying?

- That smarmy guy is singing.

Who?

- Shut up!

Is that Swedish too?

- Shut the f*** up.

Bye, son.

I don't exist anymore.

Take care.

Claudia?

Claudia? Hey!

Hi.

What's up?
