Southern Comfort

Hello!

Hello!

- Open up! - Hello.

- Anybody out there? - Yes, here!

- Here! - Ida?

Unlock! I want in!

- You may not come in. - Yes, I may!

- I have the right! - No, not yet, Ida...

But I have always been a good girl, very good.

Yes, yes, of course you have.

Then, may I come in?

You shall not be a good girl, you shall be happy.

I was happy! It's true!

You could have been much happier.

I wan't to come in!

If you don't unlock...

Mother loved me, at least a little.

How else would I've been happy?

I hear you are angry.

You're the one who could have helped me with father.

"Bongo-bongo"

And our journey.

Mother really wanted to be sure.

She says...

It was because they were getting a divorce.

She said so all the time: "I'll travel alone."

But she got worse anyway, but father will never know.

Grandma?

This is Ida. Could you come?

Mother is sick again.

Father comes later.

They're both coming.

Yes, okay. Bye-bye!

Ida, next time mother gets sick, could you call me straight away?

Could you promise me that?

We want her to get better.

Do you promise to call me? Honestly?

- Yes. - Good!

Ida, you can tell your mother I've poured her a bath.

Skrubsak! You frightened me!

I'll kill you, with my claws!

Oh, and what is this? Has the beast eaten a snake?

Are you nuts? It's my penis!

So? Oh, but... Yes, how nice.

That you're glad, I mean.

"My ship went down, but destiny had mercy"

"Finally saved, and my 'luckyphant' " .

"Luckyphant?"

What the hell is a "luckyphant?"

It's an elephant!

"My ship went down, but destiny had mercy"

"Finally saved, and my 'sillyphant.' "

A tiger!

Thanks, father! Now I'm a tiger man!

That's nice, Skrubsak. As long as you're glad.

Just like his father. Come, I'll help you.

This thing... I'll fix that.

Ida...

Won't you open your gift, too?

I won't.

It's only some... "bonga-bonga"

Have you found a place to live?

Yes, we found a big and well-lit apartment.

So, now we're neighbors to the Eiffel Tower.

Then you must be happy.

Yes, of course we are.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

And have a nice trip.

Cheers!

Next time you get drunk, Ida promised to call me immediately.

Now it's enough!

Or you'll lose your children.

Pull yourself together.

It could have been you two who were moving to Paris.

Do something, something healthy.

Or something else. Eat carrots.

Why isn't it you who can put on an itty-bitty smile.

What does a smile mean? Just sorrows.

Ida?

You two shouldn't be talking about your father.

At least not while your mother can hear you.

She just gets sad. Okay?

Here's something -

that isn't "bonga-bonga."

Thanks, grandma!

That's him.

Do you know what?

I've found a job.

I will start working soon. Then I can make some money.

And then us three will go on vacation!

Vacation! Vacation!

- I think it's dark! - Dark? Let there be light!

We're going on vacation! We're going on vacation!

We're starting over.

I remember this kind. Good for eating.

Ida, can you put Skrubsak to bed?

I'll just...

Are you pulling your hair out?

Yes, or I can't sleep.

Can't you just think about something nice?

Aren't you happy about your gift?

No...

It's the same with father, I wish he was happy.

Mother doesn't want to talk about him.

Father is forbidden, or mother will be sad.

And she shouldn't be.

- Can't you show me? - Okay.

One for you and one for me.

Do we have a deal?

But Ida, weren't they very expensive?

Yes, but I got 100 crowns from grandma.

Let's put them on, shall we?

- I want that one! - No, I want it.

Oh, no!

I can't reach them!

Can't you try? You've got longer legs than I.

This is disgusting, Klara. Have you seen this?

Don't expect much, Ida, it's sewer pipes.

You don't want to put your nose in there.

There... A bit further. No! Almost.

Eww! Shit! I lost my shoe.

Perhaps you get it all up with the other shoe?

And a little bit further.

Klara! The earrings.

They're gone!

Oh, no. Now the other shoe is gone, too.

I'm so cold!

- You can borrow my boots. - Yes, please!

It's Skrubsak.

What's with him?

You'd better not come inside, I'm going to bed.

But Ida! What about me?

I have no shoes! Ida!

Skrubsak!

Why aren't you at the day-care center?

I'm upset 'cos mother said she'd wash my tiger outfit.

Mother!

Mother!

You have to wash my tiger outfit.

Mother?

Wake up!

She's dead!

Ida, mother is dead!

No, she's not dead. She just went into herself.

Where did she go?

I don't know.

When does she come back?

Impossible to know.

What if we watch her until she comes back?

So she doesn't want to go into herself.

Won't work.

But you will see, when she comes back -

she'll be glad.

And she'll smile.

Just like father.

Yes... Come, Skrubsak.

It's in pieces.

My tiger.

Have you talked to mother about father again?

So, that's why

Who are you calling?

Grandma. We will call, right?

Ida.

We need to talk.

Come...

Come here!

Your cigarette is broken.

There's something I want to -

Stop that!

If you call grandma -

she will call the hospital -

- and my illness will be known.

And you two will be sent to an orphanage.

But I didn't call.

You may never call.

No one must know.

Or I'll lose the both of you.

It's our secret.

That only we know.

We shall never be separated.
