It's six o'clock,

time to get up!

Cards, please, tickets please,

or other proof of travel...

My trousers!

- Hi, grandpa!

- Hi, dad.

I want to see you

in the drawing room in five minutes.

These f***ing shoes...

Hi, bent.

That's cool.

Hi, Poul, how's tricks,

you old honker?

Hi, dad.

Hello, my boy. Another time.

We're going in now.

I've been asked to inquire whether

you are interested in the lodge.

I don't see you as one

of the brethren, I must say.

But Christian has told Preben

you're doing well.

And as Christian is not interested,

you may expect to be invited -

to join the Freemasons.

Strike while the iron is hot.

There is a long...

He could make

something of himself...

We have to help you get on.

But behave like a normal

human being tonight, all right?

Keep your fingers off

what's she called... Michelle.

I'd like you to hover about tonight

and keep things running smoothly.

Can you manage that?

Hey, give him a drink.

Look lively.

Get your act together, OK?

... Got a drink? Hey!

You got a drink?

We need to talk.

I haven't time.

You do remember something,

don't you?

- Oh, yes, certainly.

- Jolly good.

I was thinking of saying

a word or two this evening.

I thought so.

It won't be anything

for little girls.

I bet it won't.

You fell asleep.

Yes.

Aren't you sleeping properly?

Only with you.

Yes...

It is a great honour

for me to be toastmaster -

- this evening for

the Klingenfeldt-Hansen family.

My name is Helmuth Von Sachs.

Ich bin aus Deutschland,

Kln, Ruhr, die Stahlwerken.

And also Helge is a Stahlwerk.

Still going strong.

Helge, mein Freund,

mein dnisches Vater, over to you.

Well...

Looking at you all reminds me

so clearly of the years gone by -

- and of all that

has happened to us.

Turning sixty is nothing unique.

To me it seems like yesterday -

- that the final negotiations

fell into place -

- for the take-over

of this unique place.

Yet it was right back

in the summer of 1971-

- when my little family

walked up the steps.

My dear wife, Helene, Michael,

and the twins...

...and the twins.

Ready to move into

these lovely buildings.

We were so...

We were so full of expectations.

I'll stop here.

I'll stop here -

- and hope that we will have a

lovely party together; Let's eat!

The first course.

Ready... go!

Over and out.

- Wasn't it a lovely trip?

- No, it was very hot in the car.

- You've air conditioning, bent.

- Yes, but it dries your mouth up.

The air isn't pleasant.

The kids are here and all.

Give me some water

... Some water.

I'm all wet... probably

because she spilled something.

- What's your name, lass?

- My name is Mette.

- M e t t e, Mette.
