Les 200 premières lignes.
AUTUMN FALL
Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,
thaw, and resolve itself into a dew.
Or that God had not fixed his canon against self-slaughter.
How weary... stale, flat and unprofitable
seem to me all the uses of this world.
Fie on it, ah fie!
We can't hear you. Speak louder!
That it should come to this. But two months dead...
Get him out of here.
Art! Art means knowledge! Yeah, yeah...
OK! OK! I give in!
I'm telling on you to the boss.
Thrown out of the National Theatre!
By two girls!
Boss!
Are you getting this?
Imagine. Being thrown out by two girls!
You understand me.
Did you get the shopping?
Wasn't it your turn?
I did it on Saturday.
I can do it on the way home.
Oh, could you?
We need dishwasher soap...
Do you have any make up remover?
-And we need juice... -Yes, juice.
You...
What happened out there today?
Yeah, that was crazy... a guy started to...
Someone was heckling me...
Someone was screaming out there.
-It was Jeppe Friele. -Jeppe Friele?
Was it him?
I thought he'd been locked up years ago?
-They threw him out. -Oh no!
So unprofessional for an actor.
Yeah, I know.
Strange!
I was going for a drink afterwards.
-Would you like to come along? -Yeah.
I was thinking of going to Teddy's.
I think I'll just go straight home...
OK.
Yeah. Maybe I'll see you later...
Yes, maybe. Bye.
Bye.
It's so obvious he fancies you.
Don't be silly!
It's the third time he's been here this week.
Maybe it's you he's after?
No! I'd eat him for breakfast!
He's cute I suppose, but he's an actor. I can't stand actors.
A finger?
Can I have one beer?
One beer!
You're not getting a beer. You know what you should do?
Take a trip around the block and we can see when you get back.
Take it easy now. Just give me the beer and I'll leave afterwards.
I can give you a coffee and you can sit in the corner.
And keep quiet. OK, deal?
Coffee! Coffee will kill you!
Hi! Whiskey please, Irish.
-Here you go. -Thanks.
Is this chair free?
Be my guest.
Have a seat with the lepers.
Exiled to the dunces' corner.
You're brave, you.
-Why's that? -That you have the guts to sit with me.
Have you seen me before?
Of course! Everyone has seen you before.
OK, that's that over and done with.
I'm feeling pretty thirsty.
-What are you drinking? -Whiskey.
Seeing as how you've seen me on TV...
how about buying me a whiskey?
-Because you've been on the telly? -Is that terribly cheeky of me?
Yes, but I'll do it.
Can I order one more?
You're a princess!
Oh, that was gorgeous.
Hey, hey, that wasn't the deal.
We had a deal? Let me see it...
Get out of here.
Oh, give me a bloody break!
No, you have to leave right now!
-Well, if that's how you want to do it. -Yes.
I can tell where I'm not wanted.
-Exactly, out with you right now. -Keep your hands off me!
And you too... sorry.
Stay calm, everyone, stay calm.
Are you OK?
No, I'm not too good...
-Will you make it home alright? -No.
I'm sick.
I need an ambulance.
Look here! Here she comes.
This will get you home.
Hello, sister! Drive us to the operating theatre.
-Where to? -No idea. Where do you live?
-Where do you live? -The east end.
It's on the way, I'll drop you off.
I run for the hills
When I hear the chorus
About rings and wedding vows
How's it going, driver?
Wife and kids at home?
You have to drive all night to put bread on the table, right?
The beggars danced and the mouthless sang
The fingerless played The piano like a bell
And the noseless sneezed their noses off
And the blind walked over the cliff
And they laughed And they laughed until they peed
OK, good night.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Mind the step...
One step at a time.
Hey, wait!
OK, where is the damn key?
Here it is!
-Give me the key -You must help me.
Stay upright!
There she goes...
-Keys. -There you go!
Thanks.
Did you see that?
Sister, off with these clothes.
Try and stand by yourself.
Shoes off!
Can I order two beers, a prawn sandwich and two whiskeys?
Hey, pull yourself together.
Like that!
Shoes off!
Still awake?
We never got to finish our drink.
Let me make that up to you.
That's yours.
Cheers.
That was delicious.
You're... welcome to sleep here.
I'll behave myself, I promise.
Just grab a blanket and sleep wherever you want.
Jeppe?
Jeppe, shall I take that for you?
Let go of it, will you?
Good morning!
Slept well?
Yes.
It was very kind of you to get me safe home last night.
Yes.
You were a little... under the weather.
Yes, I suppose I was.
The taxi drove off with my bag.
Damn, I'll call them and see if it's turned up.
Toothbrush.
The bathroom is down the corridor to the left.
And... we can go for a little walk afterwards.
What do you put in that, do you reckon?
Aquavit, maybe?
But they're so tiny!
Hi! Welcome!
-I need a little bread, whole wheat. -Whole wheat?
We have some nice Danish rye.
That's fine.
And some eggs would be nice.
Hey, you!
Your bag.
No, no, no, now I'm going to make you lunch.
-No, I have things to do-- -You deserve it. Come on in.
Found anything interesting?
Yes, I started on this last night.
Really? You like Ibsen?
He's the best we have.
Absolutely. The boss of all bosses.
What's your favourite play of his?
I think it would have to be The Lady from the Sea.
You don't say?
Unusual choice.
Happy ending.
What is this, then?
Mimosa. Look here...
An early edition.
THE LADY FROM THE SEA
-Shall I make you a drink? -Yes.
I'll mix you the world's best cocktail.
A hundred years ago in Italy...
the youth were all drinking something they called "Americano".
It was made from red Vermouth...
with...
Campari...
and filled up with soda water.
Big and refreshing, but... not very strong, just like the Americans.
So a count in Florence thought it was way too weak
so he asked the his bartender to switch the water for....
gin.
Now we're talking!
So an Americano became a Negroni.
I hate tiny drinks.
Jeppe? Can I borrow your shower?
