When Animals Dream (Når dyrene drømmer)

Have you had any other rashes?

No.

And there hasn't been anything else?

Dizziness? Visual impairment? Anything like that?

No.

Okay. Please remove your undershirt.

Yes. Let's have a look.

Open up, please.

Thank you.

I just need to have a look at your gums.

Yes. And you're sure you haven't had any other symptoms?

Yes.

Please lie down on your stomach.

Yes. It's probably nothing, but I think -

- I should have another look at you in a month or so.

- Was that it? - Yes.

You don't need to make an appointment with the secretary. I've put it in.

Hi, honey.

- I'm taking mum out now. - Oh.

Yes, but not for too long. She's a bit tired today.

Of course.

Here's the last mouthful.

Can you clear the table? I'll take care of mum, then.

Thanks, honey.

Hi, Marie.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

- Shall we have a look? - Yes.

This is where it all happens. You'll learn this soon enough.

You also have to shovel ice when needed.

And since you're new you also have to take out the fish waste.

That's how it's always been. I'll show you the skip in a bit. Felix?

- Could you help Marie? - Sure.

- Hi, Felix. - Hi.

- Can I use these? - Yes.

Look here.

- Like that. - Thanks.

- Over there. - Watch your step, mate.

Esben, cut that out.

Thank you.

He can do that himself.

Welcome aboard, Marie.

Here you go, Marie. An apron and your own knife.

Welcome.

Hi, honey. You're home early. Did everything go alright today?

- I cut myself. - Let me have a look.

It's nothing.

Let's get it checked. Doctor Larsen's here.

It's okay.

Well...

Mum's not feeling well today. Her needle marks are swelling up.

- So I called Doctor Larsen. - Let's have a look.

I've used the other arm for about a month.

A whole month?

You need to switch to other parts of her body from time to time -

- when you inject her, and skip this arm -

until the swelling goes down.

I thought I did. And there's no infection?

- No. - Well, if you say so.

Marie, can you come downstairs and help?

There.

There, there.

That's it.

Could you give him a hand?

Your name's Marie, right?

- How do you know that? - I overheard Esben say it.

Esben is an idiot.

He's a massive idiot.

Nice to meet you. Daniel.

Hi, Marie.

Are you angry about your little swim earlier?

Eh?

Are you mute?

Or are you just slow-witted like your mum?

What was that?

- Esben dropped his glass. - Oh?

Well clean it up, then, lad. Get to it.

Want some?

No thanks.

How's your mother doing?

She's okay.

Come here!

Easy, easy. Easy now.

What the fuck? I think we've caught a little mermaid.

- Is she a virgin? - Want a real sailor?

Going down? Come on.

- Down with her! - No!

Hold her there. Look here.

I have something for you. Look here.

Look at me.

- This is for you. - Help!

No one can hear you. Hold her.

- No! - Look at it.

And kiss it. Kiss it now.

Yes. Kiss it.

Marie? What's going on in there?

Are you okay?

Sure.

Hi.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Is that your mum?

Okay.

Daniel.

You look like her.

Can I have my hand back?

We have to get going.

Are you doing anything tonight? Maybe we could do something.

I can't.

Okay. Perhaps another day, then.

Yeah, perhaps.

What are you doing?

Stop it. Stop that.

What the fuck's wrong with her anyway?

There, there, baby.

Marie?

Honey.

Honey? What's going on?

All the symptoms are there.

- I hear you. - I can't keep it a secret for long.

- You haven't told anyone? - Of course not.

Marie? Could you come downstairs, please?

Good. Could we put a pin in that for a little while?

- We have to do something. - Marie.

- Come take a seat. - But I'm on my way out.

I called Doctor Larsen so it'll have to wait. Come here.

Doctor Larsen is... is here to tell you about your condition.

Marie, the thing is that this has already begun to change you.

We know from your mother's case that it's very likely -

that you'll develop further -

- and much thicker growth of hair on your body.
