0:02:31 > 0:02:33by the attic window,

0:02:33 > 0:02:38and write down in my diary all my innermost thoughts.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Katrin?

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yes, Mama.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Papa called.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I call two times before you answer.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'm sorry, Mama. I was writing.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ha ha.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Christine, you wish to laugh, please to laugh.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29No just ha ha.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'll need a new notebook.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26How much it will be?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28A dime.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31For the notebook.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38It's 5...8...3.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39You-you don't lose it, you...

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I won't lose it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Look out when you blow your nose.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'll look out.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Ja?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Well, I'd like to very much,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17if you think I could.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Is good.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24It will cost a little money.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Here. I've got it all written down.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Books and carfare...

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Will you get the little bank, Katrin?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Yes, Mama.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42The little bank.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45That was the most important thing in the whole house.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48It was a box we kept for emergencies.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52The things that came out of the little bank.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Mama was going to buy herself a warm coat with it

0:05:55 > 0:05:57when there was enough...

0:05:57 > 0:06:00only there never was.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03It's all there, Mama -

0:06:03 > 0:06:05carfare, clothes, notebooks -

0:06:05 > 0:06:07all things I really need.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I talked it over with Cy Nichols.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11He went to high last year.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Is good.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Now we see.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Is there enough there, Mama?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Is not much in the little bank right now.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25and for your roller skates.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I know, and there's a warm coat

0:06:27 > 0:06:29you've been saving for.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, the coat we can get another time,

0:06:31 > 0:06:33but even so, I...

0:06:33 > 0:06:35You mean Nels can't go to high?

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Well, is not enough here.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40We do not want to go to the bank, do we?

0:06:40 > 0:06:41No, Mama. No.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I... I could work in Dillon's grocery

0:06:55 > 0:06:56after school.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Ja?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Is not enough.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08No, is not enough.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll stop the smoking.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'll give up the tobacco.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Well...

0:07:20 > 0:07:24I-I could mind the Maxwell children

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Friday night.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Katrin could help me.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Is good.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Is enough.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38We do not have to go to the bank.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Gee.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38I call you. Dagmar, you go with Katrin.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh, Trina, what is it?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, no. No, I can't say it.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's something very personal.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54No, Lars, you stay here.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15There's someone I want to marry.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Does he want to marry you?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19He says he does.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20Trina, is wonderful.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22I think it is.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Who is?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Mr Thorkelson.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28From the funeral parlour.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Ja.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32I know he isn't very handsome,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and it isn't what most people think a very nice profession,

0:09:35 > 0:09:36but, uh...

0:09:36 > 0:09:37You love him, Trina?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Ja.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Then is good.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Marta... Ja?

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Will you help me tell the others?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Jenny and Sigrid, they do not know?

0:09:49 > 0:09:51No. I was afraid they laugh at me,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53but if you tell them...

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Jenny will not like you tell me first.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, I can't help that.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00You've got to tell them not to laugh at me.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04If they laugh at me, I'll jump in the bay.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I promise you that.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Come now.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh...

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Will you talk to him?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Well, it is Mr Thorkelson

0:10:22 > 0:10:24who must talk to Uncle Chris.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Always it is husband who must talk

0:10:26 > 0:10:28to the head of the family.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Yes, I know that, but Uncle Chris is very frightening.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33He's so big and black,

0:10:33 > 0:10:35and he shouts so,

0:10:35 > 0:10:38and Mr Thorkelson is kind of timid, really.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42But, Trina, if he's to be your husband,

0:10:42 > 0:10:44he must learn not to be timid.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47You do not want husband should be timid.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48You are timid.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Is not good when both are timid.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56No. Jenny and Sigrid I talk to,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58but Mr Thorkelson must go to Uncle Chris.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I shall be in my room.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ja, sure, Mr Hyde.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Has he paid you his rent yet?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, is...is hard to ask.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Surely he pay soon.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Surely he won't.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29If Marta thinks she'll get a warm coat

0:15:29 > 0:15:32out of that old broken-down actor...

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Jenny, Mr Hyde is a gentleman.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37He reads to us loud wonderful books -

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Longfellow and Charles Dickens

0:15:39 > 0:15:42and Fenimore Kipling.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, come, come in, Trina.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Come on. Coffee's getting cold.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I tell them.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Why did you come to Marta first?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Uh, er, she think, er,

0:15:58 > 0:16:00maybe Marta would understand.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Maybe Mr Thorkelson thinks she will have dowry,

0:16:03 > 0:16:05like the girls in the old country.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Sigrid...

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Why shouldn't I? You all had dowries.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10We were married in Norway,

0:16:10 > 0:16:12and our parents were alive.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Where would your dowry come from?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Uncle Chris. He's head of the family.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18And who will ask him?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21He won't need asking when Mr Thorkelson...

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Uncle Chris will eat him.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Timid Peter and Uncle Chris!

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Maybe Uncle Chris will tell him some family stories.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33He knows many, does Uncle Chris.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34Where are the children?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yes, aren't we going to see them?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Ja, sure. I'll call them.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Children! Your Aunts are leaving!

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Coming, Papa.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I help with the coffee things.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48CAT MEOWS

0:16:48 > 0:16:50CRASH

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Is all right.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54Here they come.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Good evening, Aunt Jenny.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Good evening, Aunt Sigrid.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Good evening.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Where have you been hiding yourselves?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Good evening, Nels.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Aunt Sigrid.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08My, my, my,

0:17:08 > 0:17:09how tall he's getting.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Ja, almost as tall as his Papa.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Looks to me

0:17:15 > 0:17:17as if he's outgrowing his strength.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19SIGRID: Dagmar is looking pale, too.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Oh, my goodness!

0:17:22 > 0:17:24What an awful-looking cat!

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Her new friend. Follows Dagmar...

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Next she'll sleep with her.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Don't you know a cat draws breath from a sleeping child?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34You wouldn't want to wake up smothered, would you?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Elizabeth can have all my breath.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39There.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Elizabeth - what a very silly name for a cat.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Especially for that cat. That old cat's a tom.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Nels, you do not need to say it.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50She better think of a new name.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53He's Elizabeth, and he's going to stay Elizabeth.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Well, maybe you would call him Uncle Elizabeth.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Uncle Elizabeth?

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Mm-hmm.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Elizabeth, do you hear?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Goodbye, all.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Come on, sweetheart.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04You're called Uncle Elizabeth now.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09MARTA: Go tell Mr Hyde we are ready for the reading.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Mind what I say, Marta.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12It would be a great pity

0:18:12 > 0:18:15if a boarder put something over on a Norwegian woman.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17It would be great pity

0:18:17 > 0:18:19if boarder put something over

0:18:19 > 0:18:22on San Francisco woman. Is San Francisco the world?

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Ja. Is my world.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Goodbye, Jenny, Sigrid.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Goodbye, Marta. Goodbye, Aunt Martha.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Goodbye, Arne, sweetheart.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34CABLE CAR BELL RINGS

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yoo-hoo!

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Mr Hyde, this is my sister Trina.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46HYDE: Enchanted.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Mr Hyde reads to us tonight,

0:18:48 > 0:18:50The Tales From Two Cities.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54Is a beautiful story, but sad.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55I like sad stories.

0:18:55 > 0:19:01I should, er, like to finish this tonight.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02Is good.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Are you ready?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yes, please, Mr Hyde.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Ja, Mr Hyde.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14"In the black prison of the conciergerie,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18"the doomed of the day awaited their fate.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22"They were, in numbers, the weeks of the year.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25"52 were to roll that afternoon,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28"from the life tide of the city

0:19:28 > 0:19:30"to the boundless, everlasting sea."

0:19:30 > 0:19:33'I don't think I shall ever forget that night.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36'It was almost midnight when he came to the end,

0:19:36 > 0:19:39'and none of us had noticed.'

0:19:41 > 0:19:46"It is a far, far better thing I do

0:19:46 > 0:19:49"than I have ever done.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54"It is a far, far better rest I go to

0:19:54 > 0:19:58"than I have ever known."

0:20:04 > 0:20:05The end.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11HE BLOWS LOUDLY

0:20:11 > 0:20:15There were many nights I couldn't sleep

0:20:15 > 0:20:17for the way Mr Hyde had set my imagination dancing.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I wrote in my diary,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22"What a wonderful thing is literature,

0:20:22 > 0:20:25"transporting us to realms unknown."

0:20:25 > 0:20:28"His voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered,

0:20:28 > 0:20:33"Mr Holmes, they were the footprints

0:20:33 > 0:20:36"of a gigantic hound."

0:20:38 > 0:20:40To be continued in our next.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41Aw... Oh...

0:20:41 > 0:20:43If you're interested.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh, yes, Mr Hyde.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46'If we were interested?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49'You couldn't have kept us from it.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52'It meant a lot to Mama, too,

0:20:52 > 0:20:53'because Nels stopped going nights

0:20:53 > 0:20:55'to the street corner

0:20:55 > 0:20:57'to hang about with the neighbourhood boys.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59'The night they got into trouble

0:20:59 > 0:21:01'for breaking into Mr Dillon's store,

0:21:01 > 0:21:03'Nels was home with us.'

0:21:03 > 0:21:07"This above all - to thine own self be true,

0:21:07 > 0:21:09"and it must follow

0:21:09 > 0:21:11"as the night the day,

0:21:11 > 0:21:13"thou canst not then be false

0:21:13 > 0:21:15"to any man."

0:21:21 > 0:21:24The more Mr Hyde read, the more I realised

0:21:24 > 0:21:27that the one thing I really wanted in all the world

0:21:27 > 0:21:28was to become a writer.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32I did write a piece once about Mama's Uncle Chris,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34but my schoolteacher said it wasn't nice

0:21:34 > 0:21:37to write like that about a member of one's own family.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41SHIP HORN BLOWS

0:21:41 > 0:21:43CAR HORN BLOWS

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Once or twice a year,

0:21:45 > 0:21:49our Uncle Chris, with his great, loud voice,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51with his fierce black moustache,

0:21:51 > 0:21:54would come down from his ranch in the north

0:21:54 > 0:21:56and descend upon San Francisco

0:21:56 > 0:21:58in his automobile.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00HONK HONK

0:22:09 > 0:22:12We knew that from the time he roared off the ferry

0:22:12 > 0:22:15and charged up Market Street,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17to get a good run at the hill,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20our quiet way of life would change.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23HORSE NEIGHS

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Uncle Chris!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36We children didn't talk much about it,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38but Mama used to say,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40that the reason Uncle Chris drove so fast,

0:22:40 > 0:22:43was that it gave him a feeling of freedom

0:22:43 > 0:22:45denied him when he walked,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47for Uncle Chris limped badly

0:22:47 > 0:22:50because of an accident back in the old country.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Marta! Lars!

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Hey there, is nobody home?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10I say, is nobody home?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18So, what is?

0:23:18 > 0:23:21You do not answer me?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23You do not hear me calling?

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I say, you do not hear me calling?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I do not call loud enough?

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Christine!

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yes, Uncle Chris?

0:24:04 > 0:24:08Katrin!

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Nels.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Yes, Uncle Chris?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Which yes? Yes, you do not hear me,

0:24:22 > 0:24:24or yes, I do not call loud enough?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26We heard you, Uncle Chris.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Then why you do not come?

0:24:28 > 0:24:29We were coming.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Come, let me look at you.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Stand tall...

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Where the marks are.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Two inches.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Two inches in six months.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Is good! Good!

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Good!

0:25:04 > 0:25:05Christine.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Show me your teeth.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11You brush them good?

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Nels, there's a box of oranges in the automobile.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17You fetch them in.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Where is the little one - Dagmar?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22She's sick, Uncle Chris.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Sick? What's the matter with her?

0:25:24 > 0:25:27She's had an earache for two days.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Mama sent for the doctor.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Good doctor? What did he say?

0:25:31 > 0:25:32He's in there now.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Oh. I go in.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Uncle Chris.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53How is with Dagmar?

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Is not good.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06This is my Uncle, Mr Halvorsen.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08How do you do, sir?

0:26:08 > 0:26:09What is with the child?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12We must get her to a hospital.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13We'll have to operate.

0:26:13 > 0:26:14Operate?

0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'm afraid so.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Can wait till my husband come home from work?

0:26:25 > 0:26:26I'm afraid not.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Her condition requires an immediate operation.

0:26:32 > 0:26:33We go.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40What is with the child?

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm afraid it's a mastoid.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Oh. Well, then you operate immediately.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47I believe that's what I said.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Immediately.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Dr Johnson...

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Doctor, is...

0:27:00 > 0:27:01is enough?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Frankly, I was thinking of the county hospital.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06No. No, we pay.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09But is...is enough?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11If there isn't, we can go to the bank.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13We have a bank account.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Is enough without we go to the bank, doctor?

0:27:20 > 0:27:23My husband is carpenter. Make good money.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26If there is need of money, I pay.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28We'll take her to the clinic.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Pay what you can afford.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Good. Good.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34I have patient there already.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36My nephew Arne.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39They operate this morning on his knee.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Are you a physician, sir?

0:27:41 > 0:27:44I'm better physician than most doctors.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Nels, here, my other nephew,

0:27:46 > 0:27:48he become doctor when he grow up.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Indeed.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51DOCTOR: Very interesting.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54If you'll have the child at the clinic in...

0:27:54 > 0:27:56shall we say an hour's time?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59The child will be there in ten minutes.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01I have my automobile.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03I can't make arrangements in ten minutes.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well, I make arrangements. I know doctors.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Uncle Chris, Dr Johnson arrange.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11He is good doctor.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Thank you, madam.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Doctor, you go. We come.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Very well. In an hour.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Dagmar will be well taken care of, I promise you.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25I will operate myself.

0:28:25 > 0:28:26I watch.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29You'll do no such thing, sir.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Always I watch operation. I'm head of family.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34I allow no-one to attend my operations.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Are so bad?

0:28:42 > 0:28:44HORSE WHINNIES

0:28:44 > 0:28:45I go see Dagmar.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Uncle Chris!

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Is kind of you,

0:28:49 > 0:28:51but Dagmar's sick.

0:28:51 > 0:28:52You frighten her.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54I frighten her?

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Ja, Uncle Chris, you frighten everyone.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59I? Ja, everyone but me.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Even the girls - Jenny, Sigrid, Trina -

0:29:01 > 0:29:03they are frightened of you.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04The girls! Women!

0:29:04 > 0:29:06And the children, too.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07So Nels and I get Dagmar,

0:29:07 > 0:29:11you drive us to the hospital in your automobile,

0:29:11 > 0:29:12but you do not frighten Dagmar,

0:29:12 > 0:29:14and you leave doctor alone!

0:29:14 > 0:29:17Dr Johnson is fine doctor.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Nels, you come with me.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Help me carry Dagmar.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23You remember.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Is true I frighten you, huh?

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Christine, Katrin,

0:29:39 > 0:29:41you are frightened of me?

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Now, come, I ask you,

0:29:43 > 0:29:45tell me the truth.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47You are frightened of me?

0:29:48 > 0:29:49A little, Uncle Chris.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52CHRIS: Oh, no.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Are you, Christine?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yes, Uncle Chris.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57But WHY?

0:29:57 > 0:30:00What is there to be frightened of?

0:30:00 > 0:30:02I'm your Uncle Chris. Why do I frighten you?

0:30:02 > 0:30:04I don't know.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Is bad.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11Very bad.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13The Aunts, yes,

0:30:13 > 0:30:15I like to frighten them.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28What? That makes you laugh?

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Tell me.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49I think I like Aunt Jenny the least.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54I can't stand Aunt Sigrid.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Always whining and complaining.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59An undertaker's business can always wait.

0:31:59 > 0:32:00Now's a fine chance

0:32:00 > 0:32:02to ask Uncle Chris for a dowry.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04You must be very firm, Mr Thorkelson.

0:39:08 > 0:39:09Mm-hmm.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Well, that's how it is.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13That's how it is.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, sir, what is? What do you want?

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Well, it was a question...

0:39:37 > 0:39:38It's not enough she gets husband,

0:39:38 > 0:39:40she wants dowry!

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Please! This is a hospital, not a marriage bureau.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Come with me into waiting room.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49I talk to you about dowry.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54Aah!

0:39:58 > 0:40:01So, did you hear that, Marta?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02What?

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Uncle Chris.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06No. I do not hear.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08I wait for doctor.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14to operating room.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15More.

0:40:17 > 0:40:18Who gives dowry?

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Parents.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25Why?

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Because they are so glad

0:40:27 > 0:40:30they don't have to support their daughter any more,

0:40:30 > 0:40:32they pay money.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39I do not support Trina.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Why should I pay money to have her married?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43I don't know.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45You don't know?

0:40:45 > 0:40:47You think I let Trina marry a man

0:40:47 > 0:40:48who won't take her without dowry?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50I never thought of it like that.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52What kind of man would that be?

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Not a very nice kind of a man.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Are you that kind of a man?

0:40:57 > 0:40:58I don't think so.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Then you don't want dowry.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02No, I don't suppose I do.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Good.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06We'll go next door and have coffee.

0:42:11 > 0:42:12She came through beautifully.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15She's in bed, sleeping off the anaesthetic.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Thank you, Doctor.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18You're very welcome.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42But you shall see her tomorrow.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Tomorrow?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45But, Doctor, I promise her.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49she'll be frightened when she wakes

0:42:49 > 0:42:51if I do not keep my promise.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54The nurses will take excellent care of her.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Now you mustn't worry.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02For the first 24 hours,

0:43:02 > 0:43:05the clinic patients are not permitted to have visitors.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08The wards must be kept very quiet.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10I would not make a sound.

0:43:12 > 0:43:13I'm very sorry.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Tomorrow.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Nels.

0:43:24 > 0:43:25But, Doctor...

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Er, just a minute.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Whom did you wish to see?

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Where can I find my daughter?

0:44:03 > 0:44:04What name?

0:44:04 > 0:44:06Dagmar.

0:44:06 > 0:44:07Dagmar Hanson.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09You can't see her today.

0:44:09 > 0:44:12No visitors for the first 24 hours.

0:44:12 > 0:44:13Oh, I'm not visitor.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15I am her mama.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18< I'm sorry, but it's against the rules.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26Just one minute, please.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28I'm sorry, but it's against the rules.

0:44:30 > 0:44:31Mama.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39You can see her tomorrow.

0:44:39 > 0:44:40They said so.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43But I promise her.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48What can I tell Papa tonight?

0:44:49 > 0:44:52The nurses will look after her.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55Do you want to go next door for some coffee?

0:44:57 > 0:44:59No, we go home.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01We have coffee home.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13Where are the girls?

0:45:13 > 0:45:14Oh...

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Can I make you some coffee?

0:45:16 > 0:45:19You said you'd have some when you got home.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Later. First I have to think.

0:45:21 > 0:45:24Mama, I wish you wouldn't worry like this.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Dagmar's all right.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28You know she's all right.

0:45:28 > 0:45:29Is everything all right?

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Ja, is all right.

0:45:31 > 0:45:32You have eaten?

0:45:32 > 0:45:33Yes, Mama.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35You drink your milk?

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Yes, Mama.

0:45:38 > 0:45:39Ja, is good.

0:45:46 > 0:45:50Mama, is there something the matter?

0:45:50 > 0:45:52Mama, Dagmar isn't...

0:45:52 > 0:45:54She's not...

0:45:54 > 0:45:55Mama!

0:45:55 > 0:45:58No, no. Dagmar's fine.

0:45:58 > 0:46:01Always so dramatic.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05Two hours till Papa come home.

0:46:13 > 0:46:14Nels, what is it?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16There is something the matter.

0:46:16 > 0:46:19They wouldn't let Mama see Dagmar.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21It's a rule of the hospital.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23And Mama's very worried.

0:46:23 > 0:46:27She was talking to me in Norwegian on the streetcar.

0:46:27 > 0:46:28What should we do?

0:46:28 > 0:46:30Don't make a tragedy out of it.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33How can you be so callous?

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Can't you see Mama's heart is breaking?

0:46:35 > 0:46:37You're always making everything so dramatic.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39You only make things worse for Mama.

0:46:39 > 0:46:41Well, it is dramatic.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43People's hearts don't actually break.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44They do, too.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Only in books.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Mama...

1:09:08 > 1:09:10Here, take the jelly, too.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13Pick up your feet.

1:09:19 > 1:09:21Well, take Dagmar her milk.

1:09:28 > 1:09:30Lars...

1:09:30 > 1:09:33FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

1:09:38 > 1:09:40You know how?

1:09:42 > 1:09:45No, but, well, it shouldn't be too difficult.

1:09:45 > 1:09:47If-if you hold the cat...

1:09:47 > 1:09:48Me hold the cat?

1:09:48 > 1:09:50You hold the cat.

1:09:52 > 1:09:53Uh, er, Nels...

1:09:53 > 1:09:55MAMA: No, no.

1:09:55 > 1:09:58I think it's better if, er...

1:09:58 > 1:10:00if we get a big sponge.

1:10:00 > 1:10:03We put it in the box with him

1:10:03 > 1:10:04and cover him over.

1:10:04 > 1:10:06Nels, you get a sponge,

1:10:06 > 1:10:09and we make him ready here in the pantry.

1:10:09 > 1:10:10Sure.

1:10:10 > 1:10:11DOOR SLAMS SHUT

1:10:11 > 1:10:13Has he paid you his rent?

1:10:13 > 1:10:14Ja, sure.

1:10:14 > 1:10:15How?

1:10:15 > 1:10:17He give me his cheque.

1:10:17 > 1:10:19Lars has it right here.

1:10:19 > 1:10:21A cheque.

1:10:25 > 1:10:27Jenny, what is it?

1:10:27 > 1:10:29What is it?

1:10:31 > 1:10:34I was at Mr Kruper's down the street.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37Mr Hyde was there today,

1:10:37 > 1:10:39having his lunch.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41And when he left,

1:10:41 > 1:10:44he asked if he would cash a cheque

1:10:44 > 1:10:46for him for 50.

1:10:46 > 1:10:48So-so-so what?

1:10:48 > 1:10:50Well? Go on.

1:10:50 > 1:10:55Mr Hyde doesn't even have an account at the bank.

1:10:59 > 1:11:01You...you mean,

1:11:01 > 1:11:03this cheque is no good?

1:11:03 > 1:11:05No good at all.

1:11:05 > 1:11:06Well...

1:11:06 > 1:11:10Your Mr Hyde was a crook.

1:11:10 > 1:11:12How much was that cheque for?

1:11:16 > 1:11:20Eh, Marta, I bet he owed you plenty, didn't he?

1:11:22 > 1:11:24He owed us nothing.

1:11:27 > 1:11:30Nothing.

1:11:30 > 1:11:34He pay with far, far better things

1:11:34 > 1:11:36than money.

1:11:40 > 1:11:42I'll bet it must have been 100

1:11:42 > 1:11:46that he rooked you of, wasn't it?

1:11:48 > 1:11:50Jenny, I cannot talk to you now.

1:11:50 > 1:11:53Maybe you don't have things to do. I have.

1:11:53 > 1:11:56What have you got to do that's so important?

1:11:56 > 1:11:57I have to chloroform a cat!

1:12:29 > 1:12:30DAGMAR: Kitty.

1:12:30 > 1:12:31Elizabeth!

1:12:41 > 1:12:44Mama, how's Uncle Elizabeth?

1:12:44 > 1:12:45Dagmar, why so early?

1:12:45 > 1:12:47Why you don't rest?

1:12:47 > 1:12:50I want to see Uncle Elizabeth.

1:12:50 > 1:12:51No, no, no, Dagmar.

1:12:51 > 1:12:52Dagmar, er...

1:12:52 > 1:12:54Good morning, papa.

1:12:54 > 1:12:56Is Uncle Elizabeth all better?

1:12:56 > 1:12:59Dagmar, there is something I must tell you.

1:12:59 > 1:13:02I want to see Uncle Elizabeth first.

1:13:02 > 1:13:04No, Dagmar! Wait!

1:13:07 > 1:13:09Come on, my darling Elizabeth.

1:13:09 > 1:13:12Are you still asleep, you old sleepy cat?

1:13:12 > 1:13:15Lars, do something. Tell her.

1:13:15 > 1:13:18Wake up! It's morning.

1:13:18 > 1:13:20Well, maybe it's good for her

1:13:20 > 1:13:24to think that the cat die by itself.

1:13:24 > 1:13:26We cannot tell her lies.

1:13:26 > 1:13:29< My, what a funny smell.

1:13:29 > 1:13:32< It's like it was in the hospital.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34< I'll take care of you, Elizabeth,

1:13:34 > 1:13:36< the way the nurses took care of me.

1:13:36 > 1:13:40< You'll soon be the wellest cat in San Francisco.

1:13:40 > 1:13:44My goodness, you put enough blankets on him.

1:13:47 > 1:13:50Did you think he'd catch cold?

1:13:59 > 1:14:01Look, mama, look.

1:14:08 > 1:14:10Dagmar, let me see.

1:14:10 > 1:14:13Let me see that cat.

1:14:15 > 1:14:17Here.

1:14:20 > 1:14:21CAT MEOWS

1:14:21 > 1:14:23Oh, Uncle Elizabeth, speak to me.

1:14:23 > 1:14:25CAT MEOWS

1:14:26 > 1:14:28It's a miracle.

1:14:28 > 1:14:32Oh, mama, I knew you'd make him well.

1:14:32 > 1:14:35Oh, but, Dagmar...

1:14:35 > 1:14:37I'm going to show him to Nels.

1:14:37 > 1:14:38Dagmar, I didn't...

1:14:38 > 1:14:41Nels! Christine! Look what mama did!

1:14:41 > 1:14:43You didn't give him enough chloroform.

1:14:43 > 1:14:45You just give him good sleep.

1:14:45 > 1:14:46We must tell her.

1:14:46 > 1:14:49Is not good to let her grow up believing

1:14:49 > 1:14:50I can fix everything.

1:14:50 > 1:14:53Maybe is best thing in the world

1:14:53 > 1:14:54for her to believe.

1:14:54 > 1:14:58Besides, I know exactly how she feels.

1:14:58 > 1:15:01'At the time, it seemed like ages,

1:15:01 > 1:15:04'but now I know that the days and months

1:15:04 > 1:15:07'went by too fast while we were growing up.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09'Graduation day assumed monumental proportions,

1:15:09 > 1:15:12'especially because I was to play Portia

1:15:12 > 1:15:15'in the school production of The Merchant of Venice.'

1:15:15 > 1:15:18"The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

1:15:18 > 1:15:22"it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

1:15:22 > 1:15:25"upon the place beneath -

1:15:25 > 1:15:26"is twice bless'd.

1:15:26 > 1:15:28"It blesseth him that gives

1:15:28 > 1:15:29and him that takes."

1:15:29 > 1:15:31Him that takes.

1:15:31 > 1:15:33"It blesseth him that gives and him that takes."

1:15:33 > 1:15:35What comes after that?

1:15:35 > 1:15:37I don't know, and I don't care.

1:15:37 > 1:15:39Why, Chris!

1:15:39 > 1:15:40It's all I've heard for weeks.

1:15:40 > 1:15:42The school play, your graduation,

1:15:42 > 1:15:44going on to high,

1:15:44 > 1:15:46never a thought of what's happening at home.

1:15:46 > 1:15:48All you and your friends think about

1:15:48 > 1:15:50is the presents you're going to get.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52You make me ashamed of being a girl.

1:15:52 > 1:15:54Have you heard about Thyra's graduation present?

2:59:21 > 2:59:23- Hello, Katrin. - Madeline.

2:59:23 > 2:59:24What are you getting?

2:59:24 > 2:59:26They haven't said,

2:59:26 > 2:59:28but I think I'm going to get that.

2:59:28 > 2:59:30You mean the dresser set?

2:59:30 > 2:59:32Your father took it out for me

2:59:32 > 2:59:33so I could touch it.

2:59:33 > 2:59:35It's got everything -

2:59:35 > 2:59:36even a hair receiver.

2:59:36 > 2:59:38And it's genuine celluloid.

2:59:38 > 2:59:40You're not getting it.

2:59:40 > 2:59:41How do you know?

2:59:41 > 2:59:42I know what you're getting.

2:59:42 > 2:59:44What is it?

2:59:44 > 2:59:46Mama's giving you her brooch -

2:59:46 > 2:59:47her solje.

2:59:47 > 2:59:49That old silver thing she wears

2:59:49 > 2:59:51that belonged to grandmother?

2:59:51 > 2:59:52What would I want

2:59:52 > 2:59:54with an old thing like that for?

2:59:54 > 2:59:55It's an heirloom.

2:59:55 > 2:59:57Mama thinks a lot of it.

2:59:57 > 2:59:59Then she ought to keep it.

2:59:59 > 3:00:02That's all they're going to give me?

3:00:02 > 3:00:03What more do you want?

3:00:03 > 3:00:04The dresser set.

3:00:04 > 3:00:06If mama doesn't realise

3:00:06 > 3:00:07what's a suitable present...

3:00:07 > 3:00:10Why, it's practically the most important time

3:00:10 > 3:00:12in a girl's life when she graduates.

3:00:12 > 3:00:14And you say you're not selfish.

3:00:14 > 3:00:15It's not selfishness.

3:00:15 > 3:00:17What else would you call it?

3:00:17 > 3:00:20With papa not working, we need every penny.

3:00:20 > 3:00:22Even the little bank's empty.

3:00:22 > 3:00:26But you'll devil mama into giving you the dresser set somehow.

3:00:26 > 3:00:28So why talk about it?

3:00:31 > 3:00:34Walk faster if you're going to walk with me.

3:00:39 > 3:00:42Christine was right. I got the dresser set.

3:00:42 > 3:00:46They gave it to me toward the end of supper

3:00:46 > 3:00:47on graduation night.

3:00:47 > 3:00:49Papa couldn't attend the exercises

3:00:49 > 3:00:51because there was a strike meeting

3:00:51 > 3:00:53to decide about going back to work.

3:00:56 > 3:00:58I'll start the dishes, mama.

3:00:58 > 3:00:59Ja, ja. >

3:00:59 > 3:01:03We can wash them when we come home.

3:01:06 > 3:01:09Katrin, why you don't eat your rice pudding?

3:01:09 > 3:01:11Mama, I couldn't eat - not now.

3:01:11 > 3:01:13Who wants some coffee sugar?

3:01:13 > 3:01:14Dagmar?

3:01:14 > 3:01:16Thank you, papa.

3:01:19 > 3:01:20Katrin?

3:01:20 > 3:01:23No, papa.

3:01:23 > 3:01:26Katrin, get your coat. You'll need it.

3:01:26 > 3:01:28Yes, mama.

3:01:28 > 3:01:30Aunt Jenny says if we drink black coffee,

3:01:30 > 3:01:32it will turn our complexions dark.

3:01:32 > 3:01:34I'd like to be a black Norwegian

3:01:34 > 3:01:36like Uncle Chris.

3:01:36 > 3:01:38I like you better blonde like mama is.

3:01:38 > 3:01:41When do you get old enough to drink coffee

3:01:41 > 3:01:43and not turn dark? DOORBELL RINGS

3:01:43 > 3:01:46Well, er...one day when you're grown up.

3:01:46 > 3:01:49It's the most wonderful > night in my life.

3:01:49 > 3:01:52Is that black coffee you dipped that sugar in?

3:01:52 > 3:01:54Lars, you shouldn't. It's not good for them.

3:01:54 > 3:01:55It will turn...

3:01:55 > 3:01:58It will turn your complexion black, I know.

3:01:58 > 3:02:00Aunt Jenny, did you see my graduation present?

3:02:00 > 3:02:03Look - it's got a hair receiver.

3:02:03 > 3:02:05But I thought...Marta!

3:02:05 > 3:02:07Ja, Jenny, you were right.

3:02:07 > 3:02:09She's too young to appreciate that.

3:02:09 > 3:02:11She likes something more modern.

3:02:11 > 3:02:12Hmm!

3:02:12 > 3:02:14You're not wearing your solje.

3:02:14 > 3:02:17No, I do not wear it tonight.

3:02:17 > 3:02:19Come on, Trina, we'll be late.

3:02:19 > 3:02:21Oh, but Peter isn't here yet.

3:02:21 > 3:02:23< You like to wait for him?

3:02:23 > 3:02:24Ja. >

3:02:24 > 3:02:26I hope Katrin knows her part.

3:02:26 > 3:02:28She sure does. I know it, too.

3:02:28 > 3:02:30Lars, you be back before us?

3:02:30 > 3:02:33I don't think the meeting will take long.

3:02:33 > 3:02:34Good. All right, now we go.

3:02:34 > 3:02:36Katrin, come.

3:02:38 > 3:02:39Goodbye, papa.

3:02:39 > 3:02:41Goodbye, daughter. I think of you.

3:02:41 > 3:02:43See you there, Aunt Trina.

3:02:43 > 3:02:44Good luck!

3:02:47 > 3:02:51I knew you would devil mama into giving it to you.

3:02:51 > 3:02:52I didn't.

3:02:52 > 3:02:55I showed it to her in Mr Schiller's window.

3:02:55 > 3:02:57And made her sell her brooch

3:02:57 > 3:02:59her mother gave her.

3:02:59 > 3:03:00What?

3:03:00 > 3:03:01You weren't supposed to tell that.

3:03:01 > 3:03:04I don't care. I think she ought to know.

3:03:04 > 3:03:07Is that true? Did mama...Nels?

3:03:07 > 3:03:09Well, yes. Come on.

3:03:09 > 3:03:11No, I don't believe it.

3:03:11 > 3:03:13I'm going to ask papa.

3:03:13 > 3:03:14You haven't got time.

3:03:14 > 3:03:16I don't care.

3:03:16 > 3:03:17I hope you're satisfied.

3:03:18 > 3:03:21Papa! Papa!

3:03:21 > 3:03:22Christine said...

3:03:22 > 3:03:25Papa, did mama sell her brooch

3:03:25 > 3:03:26to give me this?

3:03:26 > 3:03:28Well...

3:03:28 > 3:03:31Christine shouldn't have told you that.

3:03:31 > 3:03:32It's true then.

3:03:32 > 3:03:34Well, she didn't sell it.

3:03:34 > 3:03:36She traded it to Mr Schiller for...

3:03:36 > 3:03:38for your present.

3:03:38 > 3:03:40Oh, but she shouldn't.

3:03:40 > 3:03:42I never meant...

3:03:42 > 3:03:43But, look, Katrin,

3:03:43 > 3:03:45you wanted your present,

3:03:45 > 3:03:47and mama wanted your happiness.

3:03:47 > 3:03:49Well, she wanted that more

3:03:49 > 3:03:51than she wanted that brooch.

3:03:51 > 3:03:54But I never meant her to do that.

3:03:54 > 3:03:56She loved it so.

3:03:56 > 3:03:59It was all she had of grandmother's.

3:03:59 > 3:04:02But she always meant it for you, Katrin,

3:04:02 > 3:04:04and you must not cry.

3:04:04 > 3:04:06You have your play to act.

3:04:06 > 3:04:08I don't want to act in it now.

3:04:08 > 3:04:10But you must. Your audience is waiting.

3:04:10 > 3:04:11I don't care.

3:04:11 > 3:04:13But you must care.

3:04:13 > 3:04:15Now, look, Katrin,

3:04:15 > 3:04:18tonight you are not Katrin any longer.

3:04:18 > 3:04:20Tonight you are an actress,

3:04:20 > 3:04:23and an actress must act -

3:04:23 > 3:04:25whatever she is feeling.

3:04:25 > 3:04:28There's an old saying that says... the...er...

3:04:28 > 3:04:30The mails must go through!

3:04:30 > 3:04:31The mail...

3:04:42 > 3:04:43The...

3:04:45 > 3:04:47The show must go on.

3:04:47 > 3:04:51You stop crying and go back and act your play.

3:04:51 > 3:04:53We'll talk of this later.

3:04:53 > 3:04:55Afterwards. Hmm?

3:04:57 > 3:04:59All right.

3:05:00 > 3:05:02I'll go.

3:05:43 > 3:05:45I'm worried about her, Lars.

3:05:45 > 3:05:48She was not good in the play tonight.

3:05:48 > 3:05:51I've heard her practice it here.

3:05:51 > 3:05:53She was good.

3:05:53 > 3:05:54But tonight...

3:05:56 > 3:05:59I don't know. She was not good.

3:05:59 > 3:06:01Marta, tonight, after you leave,

3:06:01 > 3:06:03Katrin found out about your brooch.

3:06:03 > 3:06:05My brooch?

3:06:05 > 3:06:06Ja.

3:06:06 > 3:06:08How? Who told her?

3:06:09 > 3:06:11Christine.

3:06:12 > 3:06:13Why?

3:06:13 > 3:06:15I don't know.

3:06:16 > 3:06:18Christine!

3:06:18 > 3:06:19Christine!

3:06:21 > 3:06:22Yes, mama?

3:06:22 > 3:06:25Did you tell Katrin tonight about my brooch?

3:06:25 > 3:06:27Yes.

3:06:27 > 3:06:28Why did you?

3:06:28 > 3:06:31Because I hated the smug way she was acting

3:06:31 > 3:06:33about that dresser set.

3:06:33 > 3:06:34Is no excuse.

3:06:34 > 3:06:37You make her unhappy and not good in the play.

3:06:37 > 3:06:39Well, she made you unhappy,

3:06:39 > 3:06:40giving up your brooch...

3:06:40 > 3:06:44Is not your business I choose to give my brooch.

3:06:44 > 3:06:46Is not you to judge.

3:06:46 > 3:06:49You know I do not want you to tell.

3:06:49 > 3:06:51I'm angry with you, Christine.

3:06:53 > 3:06:55I'm sorry.

3:07:00 > 3:07:03But I'm not sorry I told.

3:07:07 > 3:07:09Christine is the stubborn one.

3:07:19 > 3:07:21NELS: Come on, Katrin. It's all right.

3:07:28 > 3:07:29NELS: What happened

3:07:29 > 3:07:31at the meeting tonight, papa?

3:07:31 > 3:07:34Oh, we go back to work tomorrow morning.

3:07:34 > 3:07:36That's bully! Isn't it, mama?

3:07:36 > 3:07:37Ja, is good.

3:07:49 > 3:07:51Here's your brooch, mama.

3:07:53 > 3:07:56I'm sorry I was so bad in the play.

3:07:56 > 3:08:00I'll go help Christine with the dishes.

3:08:12 > 3:08:14Mr Schiller give it back to her?

3:08:14 > 3:08:16We went to his house to get it.

3:08:16 > 3:08:19He didn't want to, but Katrin begged and begged.

3:08:19 > 3:08:22And the dresser set, she give that back?

3:08:22 > 3:08:25It was awful hard for her to do, mama.

3:08:25 > 3:08:26She's a good kid.

3:08:26 > 3:08:28Well, I'll say good night.

3:08:28 > 3:08:31I got to get up early.

3:08:31 > 3:08:32Good night, Nels.

3:08:32 > 3:08:34Good night, Nels.

3:08:34 > 3:08:35< Good night.

3:08:38 > 3:08:40Nels is the kind one.

3:08:46 > 3:08:48Katrin.

3:08:54 > 3:08:56Katrin, come here.

3:09:05 > 3:09:07You put this on.

3:09:09 > 3:09:11No, it's... it's yours.

3:09:12 > 3:09:14It is your graduation present.

3:09:17 > 3:09:19I put it on for you.

3:09:24 > 3:09:26I'll wear it always.

3:09:26 > 3:09:27I'll keep it forever.

3:09:29 > 3:09:32Christine should not have told you.

3:09:32 > 3:09:34I'm glad she did now.

3:09:34 > 3:09:36I'm glad, too.

3:09:52 > 3:09:54Good night, Christine.

3:09:56 > 3:09:57Good night, mama.

3:10:04 > 3:10:05Good night, papa.

3:10:08 > 3:10:09Good night, baby.

3:10:16 > 3:10:17Good night, Christine.

3:10:19 > 3:10:21Katrin.

3:10:23 > 3:10:24I'm sorry, papa.

3:10:24 > 3:10:27I just don't feel like it.

3:11:30 > 3:11:32Katrin.

3:11:35 > 3:11:36For me?

3:11:36 > 3:11:39For our grown-up daughter.

3:11:53 > 3:11:56SHE SOBS

3:12:01 > 3:12:04Katrin is the dramatic one.

3:12:04 > 3:12:05Ja.

3:12:05 > 3:12:07Is too bad.

3:12:07 > 3:12:09Her first cup of coffee,

3:12:09 > 3:12:11and she doesn't drink it.

3:12:11 > 3:12:15It would not have been good for her, so late at night.

3:12:15 > 3:12:17Lars, you drink it.

3:12:17 > 3:12:19We do not want to waste it.

3:12:19 > 3:12:22And you, Marta, are the practical one.

3:12:29 > 3:12:30There is a time for everything -

3:12:30 > 3:12:32a time for being born,

3:12:32 > 3:12:34and a time for coming of age,

3:12:34 > 3:12:36and there is a time for death, too.

3:12:36 > 3:12:38I remember when the telegram arrived.

3:12:38 > 3:12:40Jenny, Uncle Chris is dying!

3:12:40 > 3:12:42I don't believe it.

3:12:42 > 3:12:43He's too mean to die, ever!

3:12:43 > 3:12:45I cannot stop to argue.

3:12:45 > 3:12:47There's a train at 11.00.

3:12:47 > 3:12:49It take four hours.

3:12:49 > 3:12:51You call Sigrid and Trina!

3:12:58 > 3:13:00'When mama told me I was to go with her,

3:13:00 > 3:13:02'I was thrilled, and I was frightened.

3:13:02 > 3:13:04'It was exciting taking sandwiches on the train,

3:13:04 > 3:13:07'almost as though we were going on a picnic.

3:13:07 > 3:13:10'But I was scared at the idea of seeing death,

3:13:10 > 3:13:13'although I told myself that if I were going to write,

3:13:13 > 3:13:15'I'd have to experience everything.

3:13:15 > 3:13:17'But even so,

3:13:17 > 3:13:21'I hoped it would all be over when we got there.

3:13:25 > 3:13:28'It was afternoon when we arrived.

3:13:28 > 3:13:32'The ranch was about three miles from the town...

3:13:32 > 3:13:35'a rambling, derelict old place.

3:13:35 > 3:13:37'There were wide fields and tall trees

3:13:37 > 3:13:40'and the smell of honeysuckle.

3:13:40 > 3:13:43'The woman came out on the steps to meet us.'

3:13:58 > 3:14:01How is he? Is he...

3:14:01 > 3:14:02Come in, won't you?

3:14:19 > 3:14:22CHRIS: I want more.

3:14:22 > 3:14:24Give me more.

3:14:24 > 3:14:27There is still some in the bottle.

3:14:27 > 3:14:31Uncle Chris, that will not help now.

3:14:31 > 3:14:33It always help.

3:14:33 > 3:14:34Now especially.

3:14:34 > 3:14:37Uncle Chris, I don't think you realise...

3:14:37 > 3:14:40What don't I realise?

3:14:40 > 3:14:43That I'm dying?

3:14:43 > 3:14:46Why else do I think you come here?

3:14:46 > 3:14:50Why else do I think you stand there watching me?

3:14:50 > 3:14:53Get out. Get out.

3:14:53 > 3:14:54I don't want you here.

3:14:54 > 3:14:56Oh, very well.

3:14:56 > 3:14:59We'll be outside on the porch if you want us.

3:14:59 > 3:15:01That is where I want you - on the porch.

3:15:04 > 3:15:06Oh, wait. That is Arne.

3:15:06 > 3:15:08Come here, Arne.

3:15:13 > 3:15:15How is your knee?

3:15:15 > 3:15:17It's - it's fine, Uncle Chris.

3:15:17 > 3:15:19- Does not hurt any more? - No.

3:15:19 > 3:15:23You don't say "dom gjett" any more?

3:15:23 > 3:15:25No, Uncle Chris.

3:15:25 > 3:15:27< You walk good?

3:15:27 > 3:15:28< Quite good?

3:15:28 > 3:15:30Yes.

3:15:31 > 3:15:33Is good.

3:15:33 > 3:15:35Uncle Chris, Arne has always been fond...

3:15:35 > 3:15:38I tell you all to get out!

3:15:38 > 3:15:40Except Marta.

3:15:43 > 3:15:44Katrina.

3:15:46 > 3:15:48Katrina can stay.

3:15:48 > 3:15:51She and I have secret.

3:15:51 > 3:15:53You remember?

3:15:54 > 3:15:55Yes, Uncle Chris.

3:15:55 > 3:15:57Heh heh.

3:16:02 > 3:16:04Uncle Chris, what are you doing?

3:16:04 > 3:16:06You must lie down again.

3:16:06 > 3:16:08Then you give me drink.

3:16:08 > 3:16:09No.

3:16:09 > 3:16:12We cannot waste what is left in the bottle!

3:16:12 > 3:16:14You do not drink it.

3:16:14 > 3:16:16Who will drink it when I'm gone?

3:16:16 > 3:16:18What harm can it do now?

3:16:18 > 3:16:20I die anyway.

3:16:20 > 3:16:22You give it me.

3:16:24 > 3:16:26All right. I... I give you drink.

3:16:26 > 3:16:28You lie down again.

3:17:57 > 3:18:00Jessie Brown, my housekeeper.

3:18:00 > 3:18:04No. Why do I call her that to you?

3:18:05 > 3:18:07She is my wife.

3:18:07 > 3:18:10For several years, she has been my wife.

3:18:12 > 3:18:15She used to have husband in asylum in Stockton,

3:18:15 > 3:18:18but when he die, we get married.

3:18:18 > 3:18:21Only I do not tell the aunts.

3:30:58 > 3:30:59See him?

3:30:59 > 3:31:01You mean...

3:31:01 > 3:31:04Ja, I like you see him.

3:31:04 > 3:31:05He looks happy.

3:31:05 > 3:31:08I like you to know what death looks like.

3:31:08 > 3:31:11Then you are not frightened of it ever.

3:31:20 > 3:31:22Will you come with me?

3:31:24 > 3:31:26Ja, sure. I come.

3:31:33 > 3:31:35The woman.

3:31:38 > 3:31:39One year later,

3:31:39 > 3:31:42my Aunt Trina and Peter Thorkelson

3:31:42 > 3:31:44were married in our parlour.

3:31:49 > 3:31:51One year after that...

3:31:51 > 3:31:53who is the most beautiful Norwegian baby

3:31:53 > 3:31:55in San Francisco?

3:31:55 > 3:31:56Hmm?

3:31:56 > 3:31:59Look. He's asleep.

3:31:59 > 3:32:01Trina.

3:32:01 > 3:32:02Ja?

3:32:02 > 3:32:05Do you know what next Thursday is?

3:32:05 > 3:32:07Our anniversary.

3:32:08 > 3:32:12What would you think of our giving a little party?

3:32:12 > 3:32:14I think it is time you...

3:32:14 > 3:32:18took your place in society.

3:32:18 > 3:32:20Well... what would you say

3:32:20 > 3:32:22to ice cream and cookies

3:32:22 > 3:32:23for the ladies?

3:32:23 > 3:32:25And...and coffee, of course.

3:32:27 > 3:32:29Perhaps port wine for the gentlemen.

3:32:29 > 3:32:31Port wine?

3:32:31 > 3:32:32Uh, just a little.

3:32:32 > 3:32:35You could bring it in already poured out

3:32:35 > 3:32:37in...in little glasses.

3:32:37 > 3:32:41And Jenny or Sigrid could help me serve the ice cream.

3:32:41 > 3:32:42No.

3:32:42 > 3:32:44You will have someone in to help you,

3:32:44 > 3:32:46in the kitchen.

3:32:46 > 3:32:49You...you mean a waitress?

3:32:49 > 3:32:50Oh, Peter.

3:32:50 > 3:32:52But none of us have ever...

3:32:52 > 3:32:55you don't really think...

3:32:55 > 3:32:56Oh, no.

3:32:56 > 3:32:58No.

3:32:58 > 3:32:59Trina...

3:33:01 > 3:33:03There... there is something

3:33:03 > 3:33:05I would like to tell you.

3:33:05 > 3:33:06I...

3:33:06 > 3:33:11I am not very good at expressing myself...

3:33:11 > 3:33:14or my... my deeper feelings.

3:33:14 > 3:33:16But...

3:33:16 > 3:33:17I want you to know

3:33:17 > 3:33:23that I am not only very fond of you...

3:33:23 > 3:33:27but I'm very proud of you, as well.

3:33:27 > 3:33:29And I-I want you

3:33:29 > 3:33:32to have the best of everything...

3:33:32 > 3:33:35as far as it is in my power

3:33:35 > 3:33:37to give it to you.

3:33:39 > 3:33:41I want...

3:33:41 > 3:33:43you to have a waitress.

3:33:43 > 3:33:45Oh, Peter!

3:33:49 > 3:33:51Papa was working steadily now,

3:33:51 > 3:33:53and the little bank was fuller than ever,

3:33:53 > 3:33:55but the old and thrifty ways continued.

3:33:55 > 3:33:57I've just decided something.

3:33:57 > 3:33:58What have you decided?

3:33:58 > 3:34:01If Nels is going to be a doctor,

3:34:01 > 3:34:03when I grow up,

3:34:03 > 3:34:04I'm going to be a veterinarian.

3:34:04 > 3:34:06I remember one afternoon,

3:34:06 > 3:34:10when I was going out to do some shopping for mama.

3:34:10 > 3:34:11Goodbye, everybody.

3:34:11 > 3:34:12Goodbye.

3:34:12 > 3:34:14A horse doctor?

3:34:14 > 3:34:15Goodbye, Katrin.

3:34:15 > 3:34:17There are more animals in the world

3:34:17 > 3:34:19than there are human beings,

3:34:19 > 3:34:20and more human doctors

3:34:20 > 3:34:22than there are animal ones.

3:34:22 > 3:34:24It isn't fair, Mama.

3:34:26 > 3:34:29I don't suppose we can have a horse,

3:34:29 > 3:34:31can we, Papa?

3:34:31 > 3:34:33Maybe a pony?

3:34:33 > 3:34:34Huh? A pony?

3:34:34 > 3:34:37Say, Dagmar, what are you going to do

3:34:37 > 3:34:40when the pony grows up to be a horse?

3:34:40 > 3:34:42Oh, I never thought of that yet.

3:35:03 > 3:35:05What is it?

3:35:05 > 3:35:06KATRIN: Mama...

3:35:06 > 3:35:08I'm not going to college.

3:35:08 > 3:35:10MAMA: And why not?

3:35:10 > 3:35:12KATRIN: Because it would be a waste of money.

3:35:12 > 3:35:15The very point in my going to college

3:35:15 > 3:35:16was to be a writer.

3:35:16 > 3:35:18Well, I'm not going to be one.

3:35:18 > 3:35:21MAMA: Is your letter makes you say this?

3:35:21 > 3:35:24Has a story come back again?

3:35:24 > 3:35:26KATRIN: This is the tenth time.

3:35:26 > 3:35:28It's the best I've ever written.

3:35:28 > 3:35:30MAMA: What do your teachers say about this?

3:35:30 > 3:35:33KATRIN: Teachers don't know anything about writing.

3:35:33 > 3:35:35They just know about literature.

3:35:35 > 3:35:36PAPA: Say-say-say, Katrin,

3:35:36 > 3:35:39last night I read an article in the newspapers.

3:35:39 > 3:35:41I saved it for you.

3:35:41 > 3:35:43My eye just caught the headline.

3:35:43 > 3:35:46It says... here it is.

3:35:46 > 3:35:48It says, "Woman writer tells key

3:35:48 > 3:35:50"to literary success."

3:35:50 > 3:35:51Who?

3:35:51 > 3:35:53Is a lady called...

3:35:53 > 3:35:55NELS: Where is everybody?

3:35:55 > 3:35:57PAPA: Florence Dana Moorhead.

3:35:57 > 3:36:00What's going on here?

3:36:00 > 3:36:02Nothing.

3:36:02 > 3:36:04PAPA: Did you ever hear of her?

3:36:04 > 3:36:06KATRIN: Yes, of course. Everyone has.

3:36:06 > 3:36:08She's terribly successful.

3:36:08 > 3:36:11What does she say is the secret?

3:36:11 > 3:36:12Well, she say...

3:36:12 > 3:36:15Katrin, you better read it. Here.

3:36:15 > 3:36:16Look.

3:36:17 > 3:36:19"Florence Dana Moorhead,

3:36:19 > 3:36:22"celebrated novelist and short story writer -

3:36:22 > 3:36:23"blah, blah, blah -

3:36:23 > 3:36:26"interviewed today in her suite at the Fairmont -

3:36:26 > 3:36:27"blah, blah, blah -

3:36:27 > 3:36:30"pronounced sincerity the one essential quality

3:36:30 > 3:36:32"for success as a writer."

3:36:32 > 3:36:34A lot of help that is.

3:36:34 > 3:36:36If you sent your stories to this lady,

3:36:36 > 3:36:39maybe she could tell you what's wrong with them.

3:36:39 > 3:36:41Oh, Mama, don't be silly.

3:36:41 > 3:36:42Why is silly?

3:36:42 > 3:36:44In the first place,

3:36:44 > 3:36:46she's a very important person,

3:36:46 > 3:36:47a celebrity.

3:36:47 > 3:36:49And she'd never read them.

3:36:49 > 3:36:50In the second place,

3:36:50 > 3:36:52you seem to think writing's like...

3:36:52 > 3:36:53like cooking or something,

3:36:53 > 3:36:55that you just need a recipe.

3:36:55 > 3:36:57It takes much more.

3:36:57 > 3:36:59You've got to have the gift.

3:36:59 > 3:37:02You have to have the gift for cooking, too.

3:37:02 > 3:37:04But there are things you must learn,

3:37:04 > 3:37:06even if you have the gift.

3:37:06 > 3:37:09Well, that's the whole point.

3:37:09 > 3:37:11I haven't.

3:37:11 > 3:37:13I know now.

3:37:14 > 3:37:16So, Papa,

3:37:16 > 3:37:18if you're through with the paper,

3:37:18 > 3:37:20I'll take the want ad section

3:37:20 > 3:37:22and see if I can find a job.

3:37:30 > 3:37:32This lady in the paper,

3:37:32 > 3:37:35what else does she say, Nels?

3:37:35 > 3:37:36Well, not much.

3:37:36 > 3:37:39The rest seems to be about her and her home.

3:37:41 > 3:37:43"Apart from literature,

3:37:43 > 3:37:46"Mrs Moorhead's main interest in life

3:37:46 > 3:37:48"is gastronomy."

3:37:48 > 3:37:49Gastronomy...

3:37:49 > 3:37:51the stars.

3:37:51 > 3:37:53No. Eating.

3:37:53 > 3:37:54"A brilliant cook herself,

3:37:54 > 3:37:57"she would as soon turn out a good souffle

3:37:57 > 3:37:59"as a short story..."

3:38:01 > 3:38:03"..Or find a new recipe

3:38:03 > 3:38:05"as she would a first edition."

3:38:07 > 3:38:08Mama, I'll go see

3:38:08 > 3:38:11if I have any puppies yet.

3:38:11 > 3:38:12Ja.

3:38:12 > 3:38:14Can I see her picture?

3:38:15 > 3:38:17Is kind face.

3:38:17 > 3:38:20What is first edition?

3:38:22 > 3:38:25HE COUGHS

3:38:35 > 3:38:36Christine, lookee.

3:38:36 > 3:38:37What, Dagmar?

3:38:37 > 3:38:39I've got puppies!

3:38:39 > 3:38:40How many?

3:38:40 > 3:38:4315. What will I call them?

3:38:43 > 3:38:44I'm coming!

3:38:46 > 3:38:48Don't name them anything till I get there.

3:39:11 > 3:39:12Miss Moorhead.

3:39:13 > 3:39:15Calling Miss Moorhead.

3:39:18 > 3:39:20Miss Moorhead.

3:39:21 > 3:39:23Calling Miss Moorhead.

3:39:25 > 3:39:27Call for Miss Moorhead.

3:39:27 > 3:39:29Yes?

3:39:35 > 3:39:36Miss Moorhead?

3:39:38 > 3:39:40Miss Florence Dana Moorhead?

3:39:40 > 3:39:41Yes?

3:39:41 > 3:39:43Could I speak to you, please?

3:39:43 > 3:39:45Yes. What's it about?

3:39:45 > 3:39:47I read what you say about writing.

3:39:47 > 3:39:49Oh, yes.

3:39:49 > 3:39:52My daughter Katrin wants to be writer.

3:39:52 > 3:39:53Oh, really?

3:39:53 > 3:39:55I bring her stories.

3:39:55 > 3:39:56I'm in a hurry.

3:39:56 > 3:39:59I'm leaving San Francisco this evening.

3:39:59 > 3:40:03But if we can talk just two minute.

3:40:03 > 3:40:05I've had to make it a rule

3:40:05 > 3:40:08never to read anyone's unpublished material.

3:40:11 > 3:40:15I read that you like to collect recipes for eating.

3:40:15 > 3:40:18Yes. I've written several books on cooking.

3:40:18 > 3:40:21I, too, am interested in gastronomy.

3:40:21 > 3:40:22I am good cook - Norwegian.

3:40:22 > 3:40:24I make good Norwegian dishes.

3:40:24 > 3:40:26Lutefisk and kjodboller -

3:40:26 > 3:40:28meatballs with cream sauce.

3:40:28 > 3:40:30I know. I've eaten them in Christiania.

3:40:30 > 3:40:33My mother give me special recipe for kjodboller.

3:40:33 > 3:40:35She was best cook I ever know.

3:40:35 > 3:40:37Never have I told this recipe,

3:40:37 > 3:40:39not even to my sisters

3:40:39 > 3:40:41because they are not good cooks.

3:40:41 > 3:40:42Oh?

3:40:42 > 3:40:45But if you let me talk to you,

3:40:45 > 3:40:47I give it to you.

3:40:47 > 3:40:48Is fine recipe.

3:40:54 > 3:40:56Now, your daughter wants to write, you say.

3:40:56 > 3:40:58Ja.

3:40:58 > 3:41:00Does she write or only want to?

3:41:00 > 3:41:02She write all the time.

3:41:02 > 3:41:04Maybe she should not be author,

3:41:04 > 3:41:07but is hard to give up something

3:41:07 > 3:41:08that have meant so much.

3:41:08 > 3:41:11I bring her stories. I bring 12.

3:41:11 > 3:41:1312?

3:41:13 > 3:41:16Well, if you could read maybe just one.

3:41:16 > 3:41:18To know if someone cooks well,

3:41:18 > 3:41:20you do not need to eat a whole dinner.

3:41:20 > 3:41:22You're very persuasive.

3:41:22 > 3:41:24Why didn't your daughter come herself?

3:41:24 > 3:41:28She was too unhappy and too scared of you.

3:41:28 > 3:41:29You are celebrity.

3:41:29 > 3:41:32But I see your picture in the paper.

3:41:32 > 3:41:34That frightful picture.

3:41:34 > 3:41:37Is a picture of woman who like to eat good.

3:41:37 > 3:41:39It certainly is.

3:41:39 > 3:41:41Now tell me about the kjodboller.

3:41:41 > 3:41:42Ja.

3:41:44 > 3:41:46When you make the meatballs,

3:41:46 > 3:41:49you drop them in boiling stock,

3:41:49 > 3:41:50not water.

3:41:50 > 3:41:52Oh.

3:41:52 > 3:41:53That is one of the secrets.

3:41:53 > 3:41:56The cream sauce is another secret.

3:41:56 > 3:42:00Is half sour cream, added at the last.

3:42:01 > 3:42:03Oh, that sounds marvellous.

3:42:03 > 3:42:06You have to grind the meat six times,

3:42:06 > 3:42:08and then you...

3:42:08 > 3:42:11Well, I could write this out for you.

3:42:11 > 3:42:14And while I write, you could read.

3:42:23 > 3:42:26Having written a tragic farewell to my art,

3:42:26 > 3:42:29I was tearing up all the stories I'd written

3:42:29 > 3:42:32when I heard Mama's voice at the attic stairs.

3:42:33 > 3:42:35Katrin?

3:42:35 > 3:42:36Yes, Mama?

3:42:38 > 3:42:40You are writing?

3:42:40 > 3:42:41No, Mama.

3:42:43 > 3:42:45That's all over.

3:42:46 > 3:42:50That's what I want to talk to you about.

3:42:50 > 3:42:52It's all right, Mama. Really.

3:42:52 > 3:42:54I've been tearing up my stories,

3:42:54 > 3:42:57only I couldn't find half of them.

3:42:57 > 3:42:58Well, they're here.

3:43:00 > 3:43:02Did you take them?

3:43:11 > 3:43:12What for?

3:43:13 > 3:43:17Katrin, I've been to see Miss Moorhead.

3:43:17 > 3:43:18Who's Miss...

3:43:18 > 3:43:21Florence Dana Moorhead?

3:43:21 > 3:43:23You took her my stories?

3:43:23 > 3:43:26She read five of them.

3:43:26 > 3:43:28I was two hours with her.

3:43:30 > 3:43:32We have glass of sherry.

3:43:32 > 3:43:34We have two glass of sherry.

3:43:34 > 3:43:37What did she say about them?

3:43:37 > 3:43:40Well, she said they are not good.

3:43:40 > 3:43:41Well, I knew that.

3:43:41 > 3:43:44It was hardly worth going to that trouble

3:43:44 > 3:43:46just to be told that.

3:43:46 > 3:43:48But she say more.

3:43:48 > 3:43:50Will you listen, Katrin?

3:43:50 > 3:43:51Sure. I'll listen.

3:43:53 > 3:43:55She say you write now

3:43:55 > 3:43:58only because of what you have read in other books,

3:43:58 > 3:44:01that for years she write bad stories

3:44:01 > 3:44:03about people in the olden times,

3:44:03 > 3:44:05until one day she remembers

3:44:05 > 3:44:09something that happen in her own town,

3:44:09 > 3:44:12and she feels she must tell that.

3:44:12 > 3:44:16That is how she write her first good story.

3:44:16 > 3:44:19She say you must write about things you know.

3:44:19 > 3:44:21That's what my teacher always said.

3:44:21 > 3:44:24Maybe your teacher was right.

3:44:25 > 3:44:28But she say you are to go on writing,

3:44:28 > 3:44:30that you have the gift.

3:44:32 > 3:44:35And that when you have written story

3:44:35 > 3:44:37that is real and true,

3:44:37 > 3:44:40then you are to send it to her agent

3:44:40 > 3:44:42and say she recommend you.

3:44:42 > 3:44:43Here.

3:44:43 > 3:44:45No. Is recipe for goulash

3:44:45 > 3:44:47as her grandmother make it.

3:44:49 > 3:44:50Here.

3:45:02 > 3:45:06It helps, Katrin, what I have told you?

3:45:06 > 3:45:09Yes, I... I guess it helps...

3:45:09 > 3:45:11some.

3:45:11 > 3:45:14But I haven't been anywhere

3:45:14 > 3:45:16or seen anything.

3:45:16 > 3:45:17Well...

3:45:17 > 3:45:20could you write about San Francisco maybe?

3:45:20 > 3:45:21Is fine city.

3:49:22 > 3:49:23(I tell you!)

3:49:23 > 3:49:25(Mama, I tried.)

3:49:25 > 3:49:26Are you ready?

3:49:26 > 3:49:29"For as long as I could remember,

3:49:29 > 3:49:32"the house on the Larkin Street Hill

3:49:32 > 3:49:33"had been home.

3:49:33 > 3:49:37"Papa and Mama had both been born in Norway,

3:49:37 > 3:49:40"but they came to San Francisco

3:49:40 > 3:49:42"because Mama's sisters were here.

3:49:42 > 3:49:44"All of us were born here -

3:49:44 > 3:49:48"Nels, the oldest, and the only boy,

3:49:48 > 3:49:51"my sister Christine..."

3:49:53 > 3:49:56"and the littlest sister, Dagmar."

3:49:56 > 3:49:58Am I in the story?

3:50:00 > 3:50:02"When I look back,

3:50:02 > 3:50:04"1910 seems like only yesterday.

3:50:04 > 3:50:06"I remember that every Saturday night,

3:50:06 > 3:50:09"Mama used to call the family together.

3:50:09 > 3:50:11"I remember Mr Hyde,

3:50:11 > 3:50:13"dear Aunt Trina,

3:50:13 > 3:50:15"and my Uncle Chris.

3:50:15 > 3:50:17"But first and foremost,

3:50:17 > 3:50:19"I remember Mama."

3:50:21 > 3:50:24"I remember how on every Saturday night,

3:50:24 > 3:50:27"Mama would sit down at the kitchen table

3:50:27 > 3:50:29"and count out the money

3:50:29 > 3:50:32"that Papa had brought home in a little envelope.

3:50:32 > 3:50:34"There would be various stacks.

3:50:34 > 3:50:37"For the landlord, Mama would say,

3:50:37 > 3:50:41"piling up the big silver pieces.

3:50:41 > 3:50:43"For the grocer.

3:50:43 > 3:50:45"Another group of coins.

3:50:45 > 3:50:47"At last, Papa would ask,

3:50:47 > 3:50:49"is all?

3:50:49 > 3:50:52"Mama would look up then and smile.

3:50:52 > 3:50:53"Is good, she'd murmur.

3:50:53 > 3:50:56"We do not have to go to the bank."
