Girl of Finland (Lapualaismorsian)

- Did you take your shoes off? - Of course I took them off.

- I'm going to keep my socks on. - What do you want to do that for?

- Shall I put my shirt on? - What do you want to do that for?

- Where the hell is your pillow? - It's the wrong way round.

Hello? Who?

Tenu here. Lulu's not at home.

No idea when she's coming. No. Bye.

Hi. Somebody just rang for you.

- Did you remember the tea? - Yes.

You don't usually remember anything.

"All the sick lined up, woken up at six o'clock."

"Unnecessary running about, time wasted queuing, poor service."

I can't find a clean cup. Wash a cup for me, would you? And a spoon.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

"Countless people in hospital beds..."

- Hi! - Hi.

You didn't miss anything by not going to that lecture.

Have you heard anything from my uncle?

No. Now he's ringing.

Alatalo. Yes, just a minute.

Tenu! It's for you.

I know, it's Hessu.

Hi, how are you?

No money?

I don't have any either, no more than two or three marks.

Hang on, I'll ask Liisa.

- Liisa, got any money you can lend? - No.

Lulu, can you lend me some money?

"Country people queuing, feudal rights of head doctor."

There you are. She doesn't want to help a friend.

Could you ring a bit later? I'll try and persuade them.

Yes... Well, all right. Bye, try and manage.

"The Central Party conservatives have unified their ranks"-

- "but will they succeed in preventing the modernization of their party?"

Hello?

Where from? Just a minute.

Hello? Thanks.

Quiet, please! Hey, quiet there!

Tell everyone to come out of the backroom here. Quiet, everyone!

Now let's concentrate for a minute. Quiet, friends.

We've finally got the manuscript we've been waiting for all this time.

I can promise you, we've got an interesting time ahead of us.

We've already studied this with certain people.

Some of the roles have already been cast.

The purpose of this meeting is-

- to study the role of the chorus in the play.

The chorus plays an important role.

All right. Let's have the girls on the right and the boys on the left.

Come on, let's get moving.

Let's see how the chorus divides up.

Can I have a little group of say four people up in front?

Kaj, you play something, and I want to hear some singing, too.

O Lord bless our sovereign

- Grant him the bounty of thy grace - Thanks.

Over there. A real fascist.

Thanks, that'll do. I know how this one sings.

O Lord bless the Finnish nation

- Grant it the bounty of thy grace - That'll do.

Let's take "My father was a soldier".

- Oh! - Powerful song.

My father was a soldier

And handsome in his youth when only...

- Thanks, that's enough. - I'll sing the same one.

That's enough.

- Same one, please. - I know you and how you sing.

O Lord bless the Finnish nation

Grant it the bounty of thy grace

So that at all times

As thy chosen people

Wave, red flag, wave

Rave, red priest, rave

Rage, red spleen, rage

Wave, red flag, wave

The worst of all is not to talk about sexual matters at all.

That's what those teachers say-

- theology students that never finished their studies.

I reckon those are the sort of school things-

- where Little Kalle's school is a lot better.

Little Kalle was once asked: "What's the capital of Finland?"

Little Kalle answered: "Capital F."

- You're kidding. - Not me.

And then to the summer house we went

Where Cupid sits with his thing all bent

And then the Charleston we would dance if we only had a chance

And then a kiss of two darling I love you

- Give me a beer. - Get in the queue there!

Hello, it's only me.

Hello. I'm Alpo.

I'm 21 years old.

My time has not yet come.

That was Corry... Corinthinians 2:400.

It's so typical.

They didn't make the Wall just so they could tell jokes about it.

There's no point in me trying to look like him.

It's those attitudes.

You've got a big cap.

- No need to get drunk tonight. - It's the May Day Carnival.

But you could come to our place for the night.

Paasikivi says that Finland is a country-

- where if you bow to the west you show your arse to the east.

- That's Chydenius's music. - Yes.

- You were in the play, weren't you? - Yes.

That's a big hat you've got.

When I took my final exams, my head got fatter.

- Then it shrank again. - They always get fatter.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's-

- and unto Alpo that which Alpo desires.

Look, I'm just a mess.

I've had my time. Now I want something real, something...

You've got a nice dress, nice lace here.

- Don't, please, don't. - Don't go yet.

It's the last bottle. Don't take it!

What's the number I'm calling from? Give me Pablo, Paris.

- Is Hessu coming? - Doesn't look like it.

Is that Pablo?

Have you done any drawing lately? You haven't?

Things going badly with you, too. This is...

Bye-bye.

Liisa, where are my tapes? Where's my jacket?

Hey Nipa, I'm going to the whatsit.

- Are my tapes here? - Yes.

They left, not that I should care.

- Not you. - Is there still someone there?

All sorts I have to put up with. Have I done something wrong?

It wasn't the first time I've seen you there.

I'm just bitter because you're the only one I've let do it.

"Rich is Life" by Miss Europe nineteen hundred and something.

Workers forward march

Sceptres, crowns to pieces we'll break

Slavery's chains from our limbs we will take

Terrible sometimes our purging must be

But this we must do to make people happy

Hey! That's why we fight without pity for you

Still we know the workers will one day win through

Bourgeoisie, butchers, to hell with them all

Mercy for all the others

Hey! Our one ideal alone...

Yes?

We're just practising a song for a play.

No, I'm not going. The weather's so bad.

- Are you going out? - In weather like this?

- Aren't you going to march? - No, I'm certainly not.

...a type of society governed by industry...

...in faith we accept this word...

WORLD PEACE

JOBS THROUGH INDUSTRIALIZATION!

Coming along nicely, 85.

- Here are the ones. - Thanks.

Y is equal to plus n square root of two-

plus x squared divided by two.

The function is thus small f and y as mentioned before.

Hey, Petteri!

The former Miss Europe has written a new book-

"Childhood's Environment".

With May Day we experience the awakening of spring.

- I dropped off during the lecture. - I nearly dropped a test tube.

- How did your May Day go? - I was visiting relatives.

Are you coming to the biology class tomorrow?

Of course, they're the only lectures I attend.

Every time I wake up...

The book's called "Bread or rockets" or something.

- Has it got anything to do with? - Indirectly. If the seed is treated...

This result was reached-

- because it was considered that the most burning questions-

- are biological in essence and that biology can solve them.

According to some conceited people-

- there is no such thing as a population explosion-

- because the world population is increasing by only 2% annually.

Then the rodent eats the seed...

Excuse me, would the gentleman there like to continue?

- I'm sorry. Please go on, sir. - Thank you.

In the past thousand years, the number of people has increased-

- 20,000 times more quickly than previously.

If a substance burns 20,000 times more quickly than another one-

- we should certainly call it an explosive substance.

And it wouldn't be gunpowder, it would be a hydrogen bomb.

As a solution, the biologists have offered two methods:

One of them is to increase the production of food-

- and the second solution is birth control.

In this connection, biological research certainly offers-

- more pleasant methods than for instance mechanics.

Still, biological means are granted about a millionth part of the funds-

- that are devoted to the more traditional method, that is war.

The morality of our society is based on theses-

- according to which birth control is immoral.

Is it morally right that the human race should become the cancer-

- that will take our planet back to the ancient virgin state-

- with the only difference that in this new situation-

- no new kind of life will be possible? Thank you.

- Hello. - Hi.

Tenu! Let's go along the shore.

A Swedish professor says that if you eat six pheasants in a row, you die.

Our children and grandchildren will stand side by side on Earth-

- eating algae off each other's shoulders-

- and making love to whoever happens to be standing next to them.

I only hope my son happens to be next to a really nice-Iooking woman.

I don't see it's got to get as bad as that.

The straight line leading to over-population will start bending.

I bet they'll think up something before that.

They'll think up some new wars to thin the population out a bit.
