One Summer of Happiness Page #3

- You were?

- Don't tell me you're leaving.

- I have to go home.

It's Saturday evening. No one

will wonder when you get home.

How would you know?

- Can I walk you home?

- No, I know the way. Good night.

Klasse?

Shouldn't we invite the dandy?

- He's too good for that.

- You're being silly.

Do you have enough people?

Sign me up. StendaI.

- With an H?

- No.

Isn't it nice here?

I don't feeI like sleeping tonight.

Shouldn't we rest for a while?

No, you're thinly dressed

and it's chilly.

Did you see the girls staring?

They're jealous of me.

- And why's that?

- Because you danced with me.

Graduates are charming.

It's a shame I've only met a few.

And the ones I've met

have been stuck-up.

- Are you stuck-up?

- Count on it.

Come get your coffee!

- You'll get proper windows.

- And electric lighting.

Heat and hot water, right?

Just get the roof fixed first.

We'll take care of the roof

and get some benches.

And boards, for the stage.

You could get a part

in a play we're putting on.

- What play?

- "The Vrmlanders".

It's not exactly new, but it should

draw people at the opening this fall.

- You could be Erik.

- I won't be here this fall.

But thanks anyway.

Who do you have in mind as Anna?

It's a new girI. She's over there.

It's a gamble,

but I think she'll be fine.

- Kerstin?

- Kerstin?

Are you going to be in a play?

- Me?

- That's right.

- But I can't.

- Sure you can, if you get permission.

It's a really big part. - Convince

her, Gran. I know she can do it.

Can you get away tomorrow afternoon?

- I'll try.

- Great.

- Are you daydreaming?

- I'm not daydreaming.

I'm thinking.

So you can think?

Yes, can you?

On days like this, you just

want to think about poetry.

Make up poems...

It could be because it's so beautifuI

here, or because you're here.

- What do you think?

- How should I know?

Are there crayfish in the stream?

Should we try to catch a few?

- You can't untiI the fall.

- But I won't be here then.

No, you won't.

Why not daydream on a day like this?

Reality can never be

as good as dreams.

Kerstin? Where are you?

What got into you?

Come here...

Grandpa!

- Hello, Grandma.

- What are you doing here, Kerstin?

- And who is this handsome boy?

- This is Gran.

Hello.

- Did Grandpa see you come?

- He's down by the lake as usuaI.

He's waiting for the prize pike,

and he's been waiting for so long-

- that the pike should be

as old as that old fart.

Look who's talking.

Little old lady...

- It's enough to feed the cat.

- The cat has to eat, too.

It's hard to get anything

but roach and ruffe-

- when the pike snatches all the fish.

- You should try bait casting.

- Pikes won't fall for such novelties.
