-Sit down.

I was planning on you

starting to work the saw.

-You could have stayed the summer.

-No.

No...

-I'll include this hour.

-There's no need.

No, not when

you're as wealthy as you, right?

Maybe you don't want any pay

for your invaluable work.

No, not if it's like that.

-How old are you?

I'll be 16 in the summer.

-Can you do this?

-Yes, sir.

-They call me "manager".

-Yes, manager.

Mr manager.

Yes, mr manager.

You'll sell confectionery. Sweets.

You get 15 a month and a percentage

as well as food and lodging,

and you have to help out

with the tickets.

During the days, you have to get

firewood for the restaurant.

Then...

Well...

You could become a projectionist.

I see, mr manager.

It's an Erneman projector.

-I'll start working at a caf.

-I see.

THE TWO BROTHERS

THE WORLD WAR:

THE WORKING CLASS

Do you...?

Do you have any education?

It's not easy.

An education has to be acquired.

Why do some people eat with the knife

instead of the fork? No education.

Why do some wipe their shoes

on the doormat? Education.

You can always see

that a person is educated.

-He is refined.

-Yes.

-Have you read Strindberg?

-Not all of it.

No, that's too much to ask.

Even I haven't done that.

Right now, I'm reading a book

about his adventures

both in Sweden and abroad.

You have to know Strindberg.

I'm thinking about

taking orders for books.

Could you ask people you know

if they want books by Strindberg?

There's also world history

and astronomy.

I don't know anyone...

You will get to know people when

you sell sweets and check tickets.

You have to make business.

It's the lifeblood of the nation.

Yes.

Yes. Could you

go down to the post office?

And you have to wear a tie tonight.

Sweets!

Confectionery.

That's fine.

Hello. Wait a second!

Hey you! You have to wear a tie

when putting up posters.

You're representing the company.

Hello.

On Thursday, yes.

Close your eyes.

Throw away the other one.

So you're out enjoying yourself.

I don't understand

how he will get out of it.

You who are working there

should know how it ends.

-They get each other.

-Really?

You get so bored with film.

I prefer philosophy.

What does Nietzsche

say about women? It's crude,

but it has a deeper meaning.

As they say in English:

If I had a bike,

we could go for rides.

If I could ride a bicycle.

Maria!

-Stop, you rascal!

-You stop, you bastard.

-Great that you could stop!

-Go to hell!

I just wanted money for coffee.

-You can have 25.

-Keep it, I'm only joking.

-Get off, I can't hold it all day.

-The glue's pouring out.

-There must be a world revolution.

-Yes.

If the priests

won't stand in the way.
