- Good evening, how are you? - Good evening.
Going to the pictures, then?
Good evening.
Four of the best seats, please, and a program.
Bit young, this one, isn't he?
He's accompanied by an adult.
"MOVIE DAYS"
Oli Camel, Oli Camel...
Girls! For shame!
There, now, Oli. It's OK.
They killed him with a bayonet.
Do have some cookies.
What the hell's going on here?
That's what happens when you're the only one with a TV.
I'll make them pay for double glazing!
"Land of my fathers, my own land,...
"Washed with rivers blue.
"Evermore your aspect grand...
"Guards times old and new.
"How we love our land so dear,...
"Sea and mountain, far and near,... "
Scouts helping Mr. Dollar carry his loot from the base, eh?
Is that what they learn at scout camp?
Shut up, you Commie bastard! Come down here if you dare!
Then we'll see.
Valdi! Valdi! Ulfar! Ulfar!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! You won!
Hurray! Valdi won!
Don't touch me, you disgusting army whore!
They won't do us any harm.
Oh, save me, Andrew. It's coming back!
Be brave, Dear. It's over now and we'll forget it in time.
But the memories could be more pleasant. Now we must hope.
Hope for the best.
That was the final episode of "Hidden Eyes", by Philip Levine.
What in the world was going on out there just now?
Ulfar was drunk and Valdi knocked him out.
Really? It's getting to be like the old sagas around here!
And Biggi's dad came by.
He wanted me to pay for some window glass.
And... what did you say?
Well, of course I told him that I hadn't broken any windows.
That guy should just keep his mouth shut.
Now, now...
All that stuff he imports is contraband, including the TV.
I bid no-trump, Nichulás. How about you?
Teacher, could I borrow a bottle opener, please?
Lárus! You know bringing sweets to school is strictly forbidden!
As a free man, I decide what to eat!
Quiet!
Hey, Guys!
Finish by 6 and you can watch "Dick van Dyke" with me.
Hurray!
My brother says we'll all turn into Americans. What do you think?
No, not you, anyway.
Why not?
You've got a Danish grandma.
Is your Dad a smuggler?
Why do you ask that?
Just... my Dad's a customs officer.
Oh. I don't know, then.
[The Lord's Prayer - Protestant version]
Dad, why can't we stay up with the rest of you?
You've got to go to sleep. It's way past your bedtime.
Dad, are you a Communist?
Where did you get that idea?
You won't buy a TV for the shows from the American base.
What a load of nonsense. The radio is all I need. Good night.
Biggi's Dad says Commies hate TV.
What does he know? You've got American TV on the brain.
You should go to the farm, learn about life, hear Toni's stories.
They're fantastic! Make American TV look like Sunday School.
Mother, won't you sing us a Danish song?
Cover, cover, cover!
Right, keep that ball moving!
Good one, Lalli!
Watch that defense!
That's the way, Tommy! Well done!
OK, keep it going.
Penalty! Penalty!
Have you been saying I'm a smuggler?
Lárus! I'm not taking any more of this.
You're going straight to the Headmaster!
You're attacking a defenseless kid who wears glasses!
Right, get your lip down. Right, just like that. Stay like that.
Hurray!
Take it easy.
It's free for the mentally retarded, right?
Who's retarded, then?
My brother. The nurse dropped him when he was a baby.
He doesn't understand what's going on, just loves the movies.
You'll have to keep him on your lap, then, Lad.
Yes, I will.
Stop taking so much room, Idiot!
Roy, Roy, Roy!
Watch out!
"MOVIE"
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived with her mother.
She had a red cape so she was called Little Red Riding Hood.
One day her mother asked her to go into the woods...
to visit her grandmother, who was sick.
"But why are your eyes so big?"
"The better to see you with. "
"But why is your mouth so big?"
"The better to eat you with!"
Now he won't dare to come out for days!
Is Ulfar drunk, do you think?
No, he's just come back from the march against the American base.
That stupid lot walks 30 miles without any training.
Good evening.
Hey, quick! Valdi's got his uniform on!
Ging, gang, gulli-gulli, gulli-gulli vass vass. Ging gang gu...
Get out of here. Go on!
Hey, they're screwing down at Number 36!
Rin-Tin-Tin! Shove your big one in!
Like your Dad dips his wick with his ten-ton dick!
It's not often you get to see your cousin in an American movie...
in Cinemascope.
She must be playing Eva, Adolf's wife.
They're quite similar types.
Whatever they said about Hitler, he had good taste in women.
I can see why they'd want a beauty queen from Iceland for the role.
What did you say the movie's called, Dad?
"Hitler: the Last Days"
Aren't you excited, Boys?
It's not so easy to get excited about Hitler's last days.
- Is that our cousin? - Shhh!
Is this rubbish never going to end?
There she is!
That's her!
Is she gone? I'll have to come back again next Sunday.
So, your cousin was quite the star, boys.
Don't mock my cousin in front of the boys. She's famous.
For having killed Hitler?
Here we see the raging forces...
nature, her power and strength.
It's like the power of the awakening working classes.
United, they will break the ice of inertia and reaction...
and nothing can stop them.
Guess what? Ulfar was showing us a movie...
and three Russians came and gave him some foreign money.
- What a load of rubbish! - No, I saw it myself.
You've just been watching too much American TV.
They should send you to the farm right now.
Now beat it - I'm recording.
Right, then, Boys. Your coach is here.
Come have some cake.
Come and get it!
You're interrupting the game. I'll report you to the board.
I've shelled bigger shrimp than you, my friend.
You'll be cautioned - you'll be fired!
Coming drunk and interrupting an official league game!
Stuff your referee's arrogance. I'm the coach here, not you.
This is an offense.
Rin-Tin-Tin! Shove your big one in!
Like your Dad dips his wick with his ten-ton dick!
Come in!
Good evening.
I wanted to talk about Tommy... I hear he's going to a farm.
He's a very promising player. The team can't do without him.
I hope I can talk you out of it.
No, we've decided. He's going to...
my brother's, to the family farm.
We can't let him just hang out all summer doing nothing.
Yes, but I could use him for odd jobs around the bakery.
Why can't I stay here with you?
It's not open for discussion.
I want him to get to know the place I love best of all.
And there's a dog at the farm. You've always liked dogs.
But is there anyone there who plays football?
Well, the dog...
My dear Nichulás, does the dog play football?
Spies have been discovered in Iceland. Two Russian diplomats...
Turn it up.
...have been arrested. Ulfar Kjeld, a Post Office employee...
Hush, hush!
...contacted the chief of police and informed him...
I knew it. I knew it all along.
Shut up, Lad.
...to his home and asked him... to photo American military installations...
...with a miniature camera hidden in a mechanical pencil.
The incident has received international attention.
We asked Ulvar Kjeld why he decided to turn to the police.
"Because I love my country and would never betray it. "
We want to welcome you to the ranks of free men...
...and were wondering whether you'd show us...
...the Russians' pencil?
You'll arrive laden with gifts like some nobleman.
The one with the red label is for Toni.
And the carton of Camels is for Friggi, the farmer.
They're great!
And for Briet, the Icelandic stuff.
Can you remember all that, do you think?
And this is for you.
Thanks!
And we'll see each other when I...
come up north this summer.
You're the worm who got my Woody sent out of the country!
So, started thinking about girls yet?
No, they're so stupid.
Well, I was already lumbering them when I was your age.
It's weird how women can't leave me alone.
I came to this hotel the other day.
The manageress asks me to come upstairs.
What do you think she did then? Took off all her clothes.
Then what did you do?
Well, I screwed her.
Then there was this cook in the transport café the other day.
She asks me to come out to the kitchen...
to look at the cold storage room.
When I come in, she closes the door...
and tears her clothes off.
Then what did you do?
Well, I screwed her.
Is this the cook you screwed in the cold storage room?
Well, you've come to scratch my back for me, have you, lad?
No, there's a bottle of liquor, and cigarettes for Friggi.
Haven't you brought me anything?
So your eye'll be clear and calm. So the pains all go away.
Better than a prayer or psalm: liquor at the break of dawn.
Around here you can tell a good worker by how fast he eats.
I'll look after this. You can have it as a treat on Sundays.
A bit harder. Your brother Nichulás was a dab hand at this.
Aren't you going to tell me a story?
You bet I am.
The story of Drangey Island should do nicely.
Long ago, two trolls lived nearby - a man and his wife.
They were crossing the fjord with their cow, which was in heat.
"In heat"? What does that mean?
That's when a cow wants a calf.
Anyway, the troll led the cow and the wife drove her from behind.
Thus they made their way out onto the fjord.
Hey, Tómas - run and get a fork, will you? This spoon's useless.
When they were half way over the fjord,...
the sun rose over this very farm.
But daylight kills trolls...
so they were both turned into standing stones...
called The Old Man and The Old Woman.
The Old Man has collapsed...
but the cow turned into Drangey Island itself.
And then what?
There isn't any then what. That's the end of the story.
So what? That's nothing compared to TV and the movies.
But... that's the story of the origin of Drangey Island.
It might just do on the radio.
Stop the bloody racket, Boy!
What are those people going to do?
They're trying to have a good time.
Once I was walking along here and ran across an Englishman.
He'd been here all day casting his fly, with no luck.
When he saw me, he asked if I could sell him two trout.
Trout, says I.
I put on a woolen glove, stuck my hand under the river bank...
and pulled out a couple. I asked him if that would do.
Tómas, lad - it looks like we've got something for the pot!
Here comes the inseminator.
What does he do?
He's going to put a calf in the heifer that's out in the barn.
Is he going to screw the heifer?
Shut up, Boy.
That's genius!
...Then the troll woman slammed the boy's head against a rock...
tore off one of his legs, and put it in a bubbling cauldron.
That's nothing. When Sgt. Henry threw a grenade at the Nazis...
there was just... POW... and bits of flesh flying everywhere.
More Nazis came over the bridge and... POW... and ratatat...
it exploded and they burned up, screaming like Indians.
Stop interrupting, Boy. I hadn't finished my story.
It's rude to interrupt stories like a gossiping old woman.
The troll woman hadn't finished.
She grabbed the boy's balls, tore them off...
and swallowed them whole.
So there you are! Good night!
Toni - did you like kissing the inseminator?
Toni!
Come on, Toni, wake up.
Toni!
Hey, are you all right?
Yeah... yes.
Toni... what was it?
It was a demon.
What's that?
We'll just have to see.
This could mean trouble, Boy. Look out there in the field.
Yeah, who is it?
That's the question.
Is there a church here?
Not any more.
Where's the nearest church?
At Fell.
Toni, now what's going on?
The milk bucket went flying and the cows have gone mad.
He's in the barn, that pale man on the horse.
So you saw him, did you?
He's from the next valley, the good-for-nothing.
Let's go talk to Toni.
Tómas - you and I are now going to drive the demon away.
"All around's the light of day. The night's gone - don't deny it.
"Candles guard us, you are clay.
"So just for once, be quiet. "
Is you master of farm here? I is Icelandic from America.
We is Mormons from Utah.
Wants us speak people on Bible and God.
Do come in.
Come on, Tómas - I'll teach you how to catch trout.
Believe you in God?
Where did you come from?
We is Mormons, comes from Utah.
Have you come all this way to ask if I believe in God?
Toni might have some trouble getting out of that situation.
Hey, Kid. Come here a minute.
Are you from around here?
No.
So where are you from?
From town.
I see, from town, is it?
From town...
I see...
What does your Dad do?
Customs Officer.
I see.
Anyone at home on the farm?
Yes, everyone. Even the farmer from next door.
He's visiting. They're putting up fences.
Maybe I should go say hello. But first, come look at this.
Have you seen one of these little guys?
There's a dirty old man down on the road.
Don't talk rubbish, Boy.
There is! He took his willie out!
He probably needed a pee.
There's a dirty old man down on the road.
They won't believe me.
I'll see to it that they find out if it's true.
Do you remember the license plate number?
No. It was an American car: blue with a white top.
Did you meet a big blue car with a white top on the way here?
No, I haven't seen a car for ages - half an hour, at least.
There it is! There it is!
That was true - what I said about the man in the big car.
Very well, let's put it to the test.
If you win, you're telling the truth. If you lose, you're lying.
What are you reading?
I'm learning Danish, to talk with my granny when we visit her.
Hey, Tómas...
You should go over to Einar's. We haven't seen him in ages.
He could be dead for all we know, all alone in that hovel.
What are you doing here?
They sent me to check whether you were still alive.
Alive and not alive. But hold on a minute, Lad.
I can't offer you much, but maybe you'd like a wee shred of meat.
Here you go.
Thank you.
...And he had this dead sheep in bed, and he ate from it.
Didn't he give you a taste?
Yes, but it was disgusting. When I left, I spat it out.
Finished! I was first!
It's for us.
That's impossible. We were expecting him here.
Yes, of course. We'll send him on tomorrow's coach.
Good bye.
Tómas, lad - your father is dead.
Tómas, my man...
here's a little something for scratching my back so well.
Thank you.
Get out of here, you blasted demon!
Well, so. The coach is coming soon.
"If pain and troubles hound you, then place your hope in God.
"With resolution He surrounds you...
"and rules with a loving rod.
"Your fear and lamentation will bring you naught but pain.
"So wait and pray, be patient, God's blessing will come again.
"Oh, Father, well You know me and in Your mercy see...
"What pitfalls lie before me and what will make me free.
"To You all obligations I shall gladly fulfill,...
"For You rule all creation and everything serves Your will. "
And surely the mountain falling cometh to naught...
and the rock is removed out of its place.
The waters wear the stones. Thou washest away...
the things which grew out of the dust of the Earth,...
and Thou destroyest the hope of man.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee,...
and the fowls of the air, and they shall teach thee,...
or speak to the Earth, and it shall teach thee,...
and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
We knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord...
hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,...
and the breath of all mankind.
"God gave the summons. Now the time has com.
"Grief finds its place in every loving breast.
"Who's sleeping in his final rest.
"Oh beloved, native ground, hear my tribute to your grace.
"Joy and sorrow both will sound as I leave this worldly round.
"Mother Earth, whose gifts abound, take me now in your embrace.
"Oh beloved, native ground, hear my tribute to your grace.
"Oh beloved valley mine, sea and mountain bathed in light...
"lakes and rivers clear as wine, for your fields and sky I pine.
"My heart tells me I am thine, summer and winter, day and night.
"Oh beloved valley mine, sea and mountain bathed in light... "
"Ugh, Uncle Scrooge, I'm getting colder and colder. "
Good morning, Mother. How are you today?
I'm a bit under the weather.
"Oh, my stomach, gasp!"
Is there something wrong with the boy?
Get out of here!
I've heard she's got a bigger part this time.
I just hope it's bigger than last time.
You mean when she gave Hitler the cyanide?
When you think about it, that was a big part.
I mean, she DID kill Hitler.
I juts hope this one isn't about the birth of Hitler.
What's the picture called again?
"The Crawling Hand".
