Dalecarlians (Masjävlar)

DALECARLIANS

Hey, I can't come in today. I'm in the car on the way to Dalecarlia.

I'm going to fetch a lamp for my new apartment.

And my father's turning 70 so I'm going this weekend -

- to avoid hearing how, I never come up, not even for dad's birthday!

A party, are you nuts!

In my family you just have cake. Cake, cake, cake...

- Hello... -I told father I heard the car.

But he said he didn't hear any car...

- Hello, mother. - Hello...

- Have you changed your car? - That was about six months ago.

- Happy birthday, father. - Thanks.

- What could this be? - You'll have to open it. Go on.

- How was the drive? - Good.

I was just a bit tired. A group of us from work went out yesterday.

- We were celebrating my promotion. - I'll say.

- Did you hear, father? - Yes...

- Didn't you like where you were? - Yes, but I'm staying at Ericsson.

Instead of programming I'll be something called a systems architect.

It's really good. The salary is much better.

In Bali, you see, I drank coconut milk.

Can you imagine? They took them directly from the trees.

And the men, they climbed up, right to the top of those palm things-

-and then they threw them down, can you imagine? Isn't that something?

Really, Margot, now you must open your mouth!

It's my father's birthday today, so I was hoping to get away on time.

We usually help one another, don’t we?

Gosh, now you are making me happy, aren't you?

Just think how pleased I am!

She's finally managed to find her way home.

- My little sister... - Yes...

Hi, Ida. You're so big now. It's been some time.

But look at you... Are you going to a funeral?

- Thanks. - You can't say that!

I don't understand that fashion. Dressing in black makes no one happy.

But you'll stay now for a few days so we can take care of you?

I have to leave tomorrow.

Please, must've talk about when I'm leaving-

-can't we just enjoy that fact that I'm here new?

- Yes, it's just... - Why can't you take a few days off'?

- Let her be! - Okay, okay...

Have you got time to come to town? I could use a hand.

I just got here, I haven't eaten or anything.

There's a children's party at the centre, so we won't get in before one.

Then the whole afternoon will be busy, busy...

- What are we doing at the centre? - Setting the tables for the party.

Ida, aren't you going to play the song you made up?

Yes, the whole family had a stomach bug, so Ida made up a song...

Ida, tell grandad what it's called.

The Stomach Bug.

I haven't heard anything about a party.

Of course you haven't, it's a surprise party! Not so, father?

You haven't heard anything about a party? Ida, go ahead and play!

- Gunilla. - Where the hell are you?

I'm on the way! I’m just grabbing some yoghurt before I catch the bus.

Yes... Great! Say hello from me.

Bye bye.

I'm not saying anything, but I don't know what Gunilla is doing in Falun.

She sits in a little two room flat staring at the walls.

Tommy went there to help her put up shelves as her children had no time.

He said the kitchen was so small you could barely turn around.

And if you got into the toilet you had to back out.

Why do you need such a nice car like this in the city?

- And a BMW? It's a guy's car. - It's Ericsson. They have a deal...

There's Ingvar!

- Hi... - Hi...

- Where are you going? - To Vika to track an injured moose.

Some bloody idiot put two bullets in it's arse.

So now they've sent for a real marksman to go over there-

and clean up after the boys...

It's been a while since we saw your mug around here.

Mother is so happy to have her little girl home.

If you’re really nice to your uncle, Mia-

- I'll see to it that you take some moose meat back to Stockholm.

Okay! Mine works as well!

- Bloody idiot. Bye. - Bye...

- You know where the flower shop is? - Yes

Then I'll see you in the supermarket in thirty minutes.

Hello, Olle.

- Mia, isn't it? - Yes...

Don't you recognise me? Eva's sister...

- Eva Béckstrém, from your class. - Right...

- Yes! - Yes...

Yes... Well, how is Eva, then?

Good. She had twins this spring, so things are very busy.

- She has four children now. - Really... Well...

- How about you? Any children yet? - No.

- No... - I work a lot, so it's bad timing.

- And I don't live with anyone. - Yes, that's one way of doing things.

- Yes... Thank you. - You're welcome.

I have to rush. We're throwing a party for my father today.

-I heard about that! - Yes

- Well, say hello to Eva. - I will do.

- Take care, now. - You too.

It took 30 minutes before the moose hit the ground.

But let me tell you, the others had been hunting it for hours.

But I just got there and glimpsed him crouching behind Brit Gunnar's barn.

So I shot him and went my way.

- You want some coffee? - Yes, thanks.

I met Eivor and Mia on the way.

- What did you think of her car? - It must be going well for her.

And she's bought an apartment. In the centre of town.

Jesus, that costs real money that, so they say.

Aren't you going to show the voucher to him, father?

- Hows Kerstin? - She's at home ironing my best suit.

What do you say, Kalle? Isn't that what women are for?

Oh. my God!

- The bet's placed. - Look there!

Isn't that Mia Sundin?

Mia, can you fetch Gunilla at the station? Ida and I will go with Tommy.

- He's picking up the grog. - Eivor!

- Well, well, well, well... - Hello!

How nice! It's been such a long time.

How long has it been since I really hugged you properly, girl?

So, how are things? How are you? How is work?

- And the new flat? - Fine, fine...

But, goodness, you're pretty today!

- You look like one of those TV stars. - Mia!

Go and fetch Gunilla at the station. I'll see you later.

- Yes... - Look who I found...

My favourite girl! Hurry so that Gunilla doesn't think you've forgotten her.

- But how are you? - Me?

- Great! Hurry up... - See you later, then.

Nice hat!

Oh come on, mum...!

You must go to Bali sometime.

It was... It was absolutely fantastic. It was an incredible experience.

I was in Malaysia and Thailand two years ago and thought of going there.

But then we stayed on in Singapore instead.

I've never been abroad, you know...

Hékan and I never got further than Norway.

But now I feel that, a trip like that to the sun...

- You want that every year, don't you? - Yes

That would make you happier.

I wonder what sort of crap will happen today.

Am I wrong? Since Arvid shot himself, there's always crap on Kalle's birthday.

It was ten years ago today.

- We don't need to talk about that now. - Why not? He's dead.

Barbro doesn't like it being talked about.

- Was it last year Tommy cut himself? - No.

- That was two years ago. - Last year Ida was allergic to the nuts.

Boy, did she change color. Red to blue in 30 seconds...

Ingvar, that wasn't funny. It could have ended badly.

Arvid knew what he was doing when he shot himself on Kalle's birthday.

Otherwise no one would remember when he blew his brains out.

Just think how happy Kalle and Anna will be.

- Now that Mia is home. -I was at the grave.

-I can't bring myself to go there. - Mum, it was ten years ago.

I pity him. I really pity him.

He didn't belong here.

He didn't belong here.

+11! - Hi...

- How did it go? - Fine.

- Would you like some coffee? - Hello revelers!

Don't look!

Happy birthday, father.

Flowers from Bali.

Can you imagine?

There was a little girl of about six selling these on the streets.

Hoodwinking tourists into buying shit...

Mia here... Hey...

- Gunilla, would you like some coffee? - That'd be nice.

Yes, they're in my computer...

No, you don't need a password to get into that file.

It's no problem. Just call if there's anything else.

- Ciao... - You sound like you're from Stockholm!

I happen to live there, that may have something to do with it.

You happen to be born here.

And that makes it surprising you suddenly talk some kind of martian...

Try getting taken seriously when you have a presentation for 50 people-

-and you speak in a backwater accent.

So you have to speak Martian instead. That's much better...

They think they'll be going up in a spaceship.

Have you seen any famous people in Stockholm lately?

I saw Bjorn Borg in a store. He was trying on hats.

Jesus...

I’m just kidding you...

- Where are you going? - Out to the barn.

- What are you going to do there? - Fetch some things for my apartment.

Come and sit down a while. Father and I have something to tell you.

We thought that... Father and I were talking this morning...

Well, if you want the plot clown at the lake, you can have it.

You can build something on it.

It doesn't have to be big, just...

A summer cottage... So you could have your own place when you visit.

- Hi! - You don't need to decide now.

Gosh, it's busy here... ls it someone's birthday?

Mia has been given the plot at the lake.

Mia... Take the damn plot and sell it to the highest bidder.

There are a lots speculators after that land, you know...

Isn't that so, Eivor?

- Where are you going? - I'm going out to the barn.

It's gone very quiet in here...

Are we going to have any coffee?

Helena, tie your laces.

Johan, help Ida with the drinks, they're too heavy for her.

Go ahead, I'll be along later.

I want to be alone.

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd wait for you.
