The Visit Page #2

You've changed. But not too much.

A dash of grey. But he's still handsome.

Don't tell me, I haven't changed.

- Yes, you have.

You've become more beautiful.

It was good of you, to come back to us.

- I've been planning it for years.

In fact, ever since I left.

It's almost... 20 years.

Have you thought about me, Serge?

Always, Karla. - We had our

good moments together, didn't we?

Unforgettable.

Do you remember

what you used to call me?

Call me that!

My little witch.

Go on...

My little wildcat.

And I used to call you:

My panther. My wild panther.

Oh, look... Oh no.

It's still standing. - Your late

father built well, gracious lady.

Remember Serge, how I used

to sit on the roof, spitting?

Only on men, of course.

- Of course. Of course, I remember.

And then, that day when you didn't

meet me, I threw tiles. And the police...

Oh, where's the police?

- Captain... Captain! Quick!

You've lasted well, Dobrik.

- We keep physically fit, Madame.

And have you learned how to

wink an eye at things by now?

Would I today be Captain of the

Guellen constabulary, if I hadn't?

I'll remember that.

I've thought of you often, Pastor.

In the town jail, when my mother

lay dying, how you consoled her.

Only part of my humble task, Madame.

I can still see your white head murmuring

to the condemned man in the next cell.

You will be pleased to know the death

penalty has been abolished... - Yes,

and I personally am proud to think

it was my newspaper, the Guellen Tribune,

which led the campaign against

this medieval punishment.

I suppose it could always

be restored, if necessary.

Isn't there some sort of provision

in the constitution? - Yes, there is.

In case of an emergency

we can always change the constitution.

Come, we're wasting a lovely day!

- Dobrik! The car. Hurry up!

We've arranged a little tour.

The old palace... - No, no, no.

First I want to go with Serge to the

places we knew so well. Remember?

Hm? Oh, yes.

Oh, what a pretty girl.

What are you doing in Guellen?

I... I work at the Golden Apostle.

I used to work at the

Golden Apostle myself.

Then, one day, I lost my job.

Haven't I seen you gentlemen

somewhere before? - It's possible.

We've been to many places. - Ah.

I know, I've seen them somewhere before.

Waiter? Four glasses.

I'm a conservative man, gentlemen.

But I'd say, our troubles are over.

First thing we do is restore

the church and get a new bell.

Look at those bags. Look at that staff.

She's come for a nice long stay.

Yes, but I still want to know why.

She was born here.

She spent her youth here.

Two good reasons not to come back.

Doctors... They cut up corpses and

they think they know about people.
