HERE'S YOUR LIFE
It'll be worse for you
when autumn comes, Olof.
If things get too difficult,
you can always...
My regards to your family.
Tell them we're well,
and that you could have stayed
if you wanted to.
Give my regards to your family.
If you ever get home...
I mean, if you go that way.
Stay over the summer.
You could keep the rifle.
Or if you want a harmonica,
like the lengthman's son.
You could subscribe to a magazine
with pictures in it.
A correspondence course in English
if you wanted to go to America.
You can't stay at your parents',
what with the illness.
They barely have enough
for themselves.
I had planned on you
staying at least another year.
You've been given
quite a few things over the years.
The odd things that you needed.
Didn't you have it good here
when you were young?
Your father was ill and...
Damn! Goddammit!
I don't want to be well.
I don't want to be well!
-So you're coming home now.
-Yes.
They send their regards.
They say hello...
-And they're fine?
-Yes, they're healthy.
I see. Are you staying?
-Well, I...
-There's always enough for you.
I was thinking...
If only I were young...
What kind of shoes do you have?
That's good.
You can't wear those hard shoes.
It's best to be barefoot,
if it's not too cold in the water.
But then it's easy to step on twigs.
I know a fellow
who had a twig pierce his foot.
The sufferings of Jesus
were nothing compared to that.
But every year,
we lose someone.
I knew one fellow.
His face was all black.
Three weeks in the water.
He had been beaten blue.
But when they dragged him up,
he was as black as a negro.
Everyone thought
he had drifted out to sea,
or at least to the city.
But he lay under a log,
just where he fell.
He started to rot
once they got him up.
Even his brother couldn't stand it.
Then it's bad.
His own flesh and blood.
-Are you looking for someone?
-Apparently, I'm going to live here.
You can take that one.
-You're not old.
-Almost 14.
-What's your name?
-Olof.
-Don't you have a surname?
-Persson.
Have some of the coffee over there.
That fellow over there
is from Stockholm.
My name is Olsson.
Let's see if you can do this.
I went to the church
When the need was great
I knocked on the door
Of the church warden
"Open your door
For a suffering soul"
"And tell me something
That will do me good"
"Something
That will do me good"
"Here's no priest
He's gone to baptise"
"Then he'll put a man
In a hole in the ground"
You get comfort when born
Or freezing to death
But never a word
For a suffering soul
In about two weeks' time.
Then you're used to it,
and you'll quit.
That's what they normally do.
Have a cup of coffee, lad.
What does your dad do?
He's a worker.
But he's ill.
Being ill is no fun.
What kind of worker is he?
He worked on the railway.
So he's from the south, isn't he?
They normally are.
I bet he's homesick.
He's ill...
Isn't he homesick for the south,
where it's warm?
Where they grow apples...
Let's go, men.
Don't forget about the two hours
extra I worked.
I'm not here to forget,
but to make notes.
The company keeps track of the time.
Yes, dammit...
Take that, so I don't drop it.
-Well, Gran.
-Yes, I'll take it.
We're drinking
Let's say for eight kronor
We're drinking
Let's say for eight kronor
As long as we have money
As long as we have money
And when the money is gone
And when the money is gone
Then we borrow some for a year
Then we borrow some for a year
And when the money is gone
