I'm sorry.

We can't go home

till it gets light.

If we started coming home early -

- we'd have to explain

why we ever got home late, see?

One night we even

had to sleep in the car.

Come to Mummy, Babe.

You've been so naughty...

Come to Mummy...

You need a good going over.

I expect he's in for a bit

of conversation therapy.

Oh dear.

That's all, folks!

Goodnight.

It's getting light.

We'll drive you home first,

lover-boy.

There he is.

I think I'd better

take him home by myself.

I want to be a police officer.

How does one join the force?

Police academy, right?

I'm good at keeping my cool.

In tense situations.

I've got my ID...

Don't forget your medicine.

He's a mess because

his dad just died. Suicide.

Kind of sudden.

But I suppose you see it

all the time... Come on home.

I hope they give you

bigger guns soon -

- so you can handle

the sh*t round here.

LOVE YOU:

Will you mix?

Will you light it?

Hold my hair, then.

Can't you just

get your hair cut, Johnny.

You can stay with us instead.

I'll handle his district.

Get well soon, brother-in-law.

Do you never let up?

I've teamed up with

two welfare cases.

I've found a new job!

Cleaning at the White House Hotel.

Isn't it great?

If I'm lucky I might get to work

in reception or as a waitress.

Just think! A waitress

at the White House!

And I know you love me...

Whatever happens

Let it happen!

Jakob...

Eva and I have been talking.

Maybe mum could find us

a better place to live.

You could have a room there.

We'd be like a proper family.

Where's Lasse?

Gone to buy a Tux.

Two people who, thanks to me,

have come together...

You know I'll always be here

if you need advice and guidance.

To you two... who have found

one another thanks to me...

I'll always be here

for advice and guidance.

Three cheers for

the bride and groom!

Long live the bride and groom!

This is...

...a song for Eva.

My woman

I love you

I know you love me

Whatever happens

Let it happen

For I am yours

Even though we've often fought

And you have wept and suffered

Though things have been bad

Forget it now

For I am yours

I have hustled

I have played the fool

I have cheated on you

and been ashamed

I've stolen your love

Will we live together

To our days' end?

Oh, I hope so

I do...

So woman, come and dream with me

In the long night

FROM MUM:

While the stars twinkle
