1 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,153 Excuse me. 2 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,036 Aah, sorry. 3 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,354 (death march plays) 4 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,757 The next. 5 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,438 Director Knud E. Joergensen. 6 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,954 Consider that Alexander and I have been married for eight years. However, as time goes on, mother-in-law. 7 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:21,270 And it goes fast when it goes well. I wish, you may I live in peace and harmony. 8 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,437 Thank you very much. 9 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,800 And thank you very much for the beautiful flowers. I have put them on the dining table. 10 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,709 Alex must have his favourite supper: meatballs as his mother made them. 11 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,675 Thank you so much, my sweet girl. When do you expect him home? 12 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Every moment. He had to meet with the tax authorities. 13 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,230 It was set for at three o'clock. They won't approve his tax return. 14 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,430 And they picked today? As long as his temper doesn't run away with him. 15 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,437 Yes, his nerves are frayed at the moment. He orders way too much. 16 00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:03,559 He wears himself out. He has also started to lose his hair. 17 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,673 What should I do about him? You have to give me some advice. You are an expert. 18 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,669 Yes, you are so eternally right. 19 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,474 Give him two Rastenil in the evening. He falls on them in a deep sleep. 20 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,758 Then when you wake him up in the morning, you must give him three Kofiplex. 21 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,197 They perk up a lot. They are kicking him. 22 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,270 But then in the middle of the day you have to give him two Bedagal to calm his nerves. 23 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,111 You stop the hair loss with Bekoxyn, - 24 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,359 - and you keep your blood pressure down with Efinal. 25 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,549 Now we have to hope that he will do well for that meeting. 26 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,515 He took it very easy. He said he would give them a hard time. 27 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,517 We have reached your car. 28 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,430 They have deducted DKK 8,400 in depreciation and expenses. 29 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:06,953 You must take up half of this amount as private driving. It will be 4,200. 30 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,756 Mr. equalization inspectorate office manager, I am, as you know, a representative. 31 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,758 I sell cash registers and calculators. 32 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,997 In my little folk pot, I travel around the country to teach people, - 33 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,432 - that it pays to have the accounts in order. For your sake. 34 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,677 250 days a year I am out. Do you think I need a drive afterwards? 35 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,752 What about the expenses for your stay during those days? You have not given them up. 36 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,669 No, because I am an honest man. My company pays for it! 37 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,715 Then you have saved home consumption of DKK 20 per day for 250 days. 38 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,754 It is DKK 5,000. Please make a note. 39 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,072 Saved home consumption? What should it say? 40 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:54,874 When your company pays for your meals, - 41 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,152 - you save DKK 20 a day by not eating at home. 42 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,037 I am a modest man. The best I know is meatballs. Note that! 43 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,312 But I can't eat meatballs for DKK 20 a day! 44 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,752 - Then go over to steaks. - No, I can't afford that at all! 45 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,349 We must live extremely spartanly. 46 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,189 We save every penny. In the backyard we grow potatoes, cauliflower and carrots. 47 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,475 Consumption of own products: DKK 1,200. Please note. 48 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,913 That's what I call stepping in the spinach! 49 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,432 You have deducted DKK 400 for the repair of your chimney. 50 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,359 The old one had been eaten away by soot. 51 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,075 - I had to build a new one. - New construction is not repair. 52 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,113 I had to remove the broken stones first. 53 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,471 Just like scraping off the old wallpaper before wallpapering. 54 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,879 DKK 400 for a brand new chimney. It sounds mysteriously cheap. 55 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,709 And why? Because instead of taking car trips when I was at home, - 56 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,392 - built it myself together with my brother-in-law. The DKK 400 was for materials. 57 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,831 A master mason had cost me at least DKK 2,000. 58 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,756 Then your brother-in-law and you have earned DKK 1,600. That's DKK 800 each. 59 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,153 Please note. And let us get your brother-in-law's name and address, - 60 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,828 - so we can see if he has given up the income. 61 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,718 William Frandsen, Lykkevej 93. 62 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,708 He hasn't got the money at all! Yet. 63 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,913 It's his own fault. After all, he can just send the claim to debt collection. 64 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,033 I can no more. I can no more! 65 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,314 There is no more either. We are done. What will be the result? 66 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,628 The gross income was stated at 31,000. 67 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,118 From this, Mr. Alexander has withdrawn a total of DKK 12,600, - 68 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,756 - so that the net income amounted to DKK 1 8,400. 69 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,956 With the changes now made, there will be a supplement of DKK 5,100, - 70 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,314 - so that the income will amount to DKK 36,100. 71 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,237 DKK 36.100? What did you think I should pay tax on it? 72 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,274 DKK 21,386 73 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,950 Plus a fine of DKK 2,000 for an incorrect tax return. 74 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,391 - What will I do for a living? - Of the money that is left. 75 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,672 But they are in the chimney and in my brother-in-law! 76 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,190 Should my wife and I bite him in the arm when we are hungry? 77 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,315 And I can't pay for a new coat from the car trips we haven't taken! 78 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,354 I end up in a nerve clinic! 79 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,759 We are quite aware of that. It is included in our calculations. 80 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,875 Don't forget, you live in a welfare state that ensures the well-being of its citizens. 81 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,674 After all, that's what the big money should be used for. 82 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,839 For the 21,000 you have to pay in tax, you can for the entire next year - 83 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,750 - go to school for free, go to church for free, go to the hospital for free, - 84 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,475 - and if you are robbed, the police are at your disposal free of charge. 85 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,240 Then send for them right away! 86 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,956 - Write it down. - Now you mustn't be offended. 87 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,829 But what else am I going to do with the police? I always try to avoid them. 88 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,831 See if you come out for a crash. The police come and take a report, - 89 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,474 - so you can get compensation paid. 90 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:24,639 And why? Because you pay the police's wages. 91 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,080 Yes, of course it's nice to know, but what will I do for a living? 92 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,910 What do I get out of my money that benefits me at home? 93 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,352 If you do not pay your tax, the bailiff will come and collect your furniture free of charge. 94 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,550 Aaaaaaaaaaaah! 95 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,919 This is theft! Robbery in broad daylight! Committed by elected street robbers! 96 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,629 Now get down. You have to appreciate the little things in life. 97 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,033 See how nicely our potatoes shoot in the air. 98 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,119 Ours? Nah, it's the state's! We are only allowed to jump them. 99 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,394 Now come down to earth again. You forget, it's our wedding day. 100 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,956 I have decorated the table and flowers have arrived from your mother. 101 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,630 - And you must have your favourite dish. - Yes, meatballs for DKK 20. 102 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,038 And then I guess I'll have rhubarb sprouts right in the middle of the pan for DKK 1,200! 103 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:25,032 So stop with that ashtray! I'm going crazy! I'm done! 104 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:31,594 You just have a violent temper. And you have wrecked your nerves. 105 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,075 You should take it a bit more easy. 106 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,750 Go for a ride in your car. Then you relax so nicely. 107 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,554 You don't have to be home before six. 108 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,513 Then I'll cook dinner and have a drink ready. 109 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,191 You're right. I want to drive a private car. I want something for my money. 110 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:53,236 I want to go to school and church. I want to be confirmed and have the police on my heels. 111 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,432 I want to go to the nerve clinic! Goodbye! 112 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,632 Goodbye, Alexander. Remember to be home at six. 113 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,631 Well, is the Jumbo family going to the forest? 114 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,310 Yes, they are aired and bathed every day. 115 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,839 With us, we do not keep living beings behind bars 24/7. 116 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,192 Well, it was clear this morning, - 117 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,279 - when the postman drove into one of your lions down the main street. 118 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,710 It wasn't our fault. 119 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,639 The railwaymen had placed the crane in the locked vehicle, - 120 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,434 - so the cages went up when they had to get off the wagons. 121 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,272 The soldiers entered the station at four in the morning with two baboons. 122 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,670 It's the strangest lost property I've seen. 123 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,436 (elephant commands) 124 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,752 Birthe is right. You are an idiot. You order too much - 125 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,714 - instead of enjoying life a little and getting out into nature. 126 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,111 Bloody hell! 127 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,313 There you stirred yourself up again. The creature couldn't do it because you came running. 128 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,069 It's nonsense that it means bad luck with a black cat crossing the road. 129 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,874 It must be more dangerous with a cow. 130 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,634 - They drove a little hard, my lord. - Those elephants block the whole way. 131 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,230 Surely nothing has happened to that one? 132 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,796 - No, nothing has happened. - Thank God. 133 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,478 How do I get my cart out of the ditch? 134 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,913 - If you have ropes, then I have elephants. - You got elephants, then I have rope. 135 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,156 Give it another tooth, you old man! 136 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,589 - Are your elephants insured? - not against car collisions. 137 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,951 Who will pay that! Then we have to let my insurance cover the damage. 138 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,438 Well, I have to be in town at six. It was nice. Goodbye. 139 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,073 I'll flip the meatballs while you peel the potatoes. 140 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,589 Why don't you stay for dinner? 141 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,509 No thanks. Even though I'm your brother, I won't bother. 142 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,553 I'd like to drink a glass of sherry with you, - 143 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,548 - but the turtle doves must be allowed to coo in peace. 144 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,311 - Do you have someone to coo with? - You know that I haven't. 145 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,876 Then get one. Many girls will be delighted to get a man, - 146 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,719 - who can both flip meatballs and build chimneys. 147 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,833 You know very well why it is heavy on that point. 148 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,159 Please get out of the carriage, Mr. 149 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,116 Good day. 150 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,791 What kind of speed is that? They were up to over 100 in built-up areas. 151 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,878 - May I see your driver's license? - Yes. 152 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,548 I usually keep it in my inside pocket. 153 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,548 I went to the cod feast today, so I changed my clothes this morning. 154 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,436 Here it is. Sorry. There it fell. 155 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,959 - They must have been drinking liqour. - Not at all. 156 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,358 I've just been out to blow off some steam. And when I got up to speed, - 157 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,997 - is it because I have promised the wife to come home for a little drink. 158 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,715 - Have you been in an accident? - Yes. 159 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,391 In Kolleroed Hegn, a large elephant suddenly stood in the middle of the road. 160 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,273 And to avoid it I had to drive into the ditch. 161 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,270 Well, did you have to? A moment. 162 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:14,434 He's shit-faced. He has both been in the the ditch and seen elephants. 163 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:25,239 - Well, have you been to the ditch? - Yes, so as not to attack an elephant. 164 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,316 - How did you get the carriage up again? - The elephant lifted it up. 165 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,559 It was a very lovable elephant when it finally came to be. 166 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,673 - Please follow along. - Why though? 167 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,318 The doctor can only be here in an hour. 168 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,354 He goes crazy when he hears that he has to wait so long, he's hard enough to control already. 169 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,677 Get him in here and I'll let him know. 170 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,357 Mr. Alexander. 171 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,554 The doctor can first be here in an hour. When you have passed the alcohol test, - 172 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,991 - you are allowed to come home if you behave properly. 173 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,714 What alcohol should I try? 174 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,999 The doctor must determine how much alcohol you have in your blood. 175 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,749 I haven't touched liquour since the traveling party on the chimney, - 176 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,952 - and I can't believe there was an elephant on the road. 177 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,789 However, take the situation like a man. 178 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,472 An elephant is not the animal you most often meet in Kolleroed Hegn. 179 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,434 I thought so too, but then I was in the ditch. 180 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,191 It could probably come from a circus. I call Kolleroed Avis and listen. 181 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,870 - If there is a call, we will call. - Then call so I can come home! 182 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,949 - Not until the doctor has been here. - You should consult him yourself! 183 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,957 Let me out! 184 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,360 If you don't behave properly, you will go into the closet. 185 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,836 It's a think box for people who can't behave properly. 186 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,158 - Then you should have an office in there! - Inside the closet with him. 187 00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:00,115 Call Kolleroed Police and ask if they have loose elephants up there. 188 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,435 Is it the police in Kolleroed? They are talking to Chief Constable Mogensen. 189 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,237 We have a man here who claims he ran into an elephant up at your place. 190 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,231 It still doesn't impress me. Yesterday a man drove into a lion, - 191 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,472 - and I had to put two well-grown baboons in detention. 192 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,878 Here, someone often comes along with a decent beer. 193 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,154 - Should the police also be zookeepers? - Yes, it is very possible. 194 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,717 But we must demand that the fire brigade take care of the hoses. 195 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,992 Well, I also called just for the record. 196 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,159 I have to give the elephant a good one over the trunk. 197 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,159 - Let me out! - Hush it! 198 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:57,390 Do you know who you are talking to? I am the one who pays your wages! 199 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,838 You should probably get full value for it. 200 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,918 Aaaaaaaaaaaah! 201 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,793 It's past seven o'clock. At least he could call. 202 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,996 He may have had an accident with the cart. He probably can't get to a phone. 203 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,514 Take a glass to calm yourself down. 204 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,679 I have a feeling that something has happened to him. 205 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,159 If that is the case, then he is guaranteed to be under medical treatment. 206 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,274 - Please count backwards from 100. - Backwards? 207 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,234 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, - 208 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,671 - 93, 92, 91, 90, - 209 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,759 - 89, 88, 87, 86, 85, - 210 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,715 - 84, 83, 82, 81, 80. How many do you need? 211 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,912 - Yes, thank you, that's enough. - I see. 212 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,870 Please walk along the white line with one foot in front of the other. 213 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,674 Should I now perform as a circus performer? 214 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,793 It's the most mind-numbing thing I've ever been through! 215 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,796 There you go, without net. 216 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,595 - Didn't you see I lost my keys? - If you toss them, you can pick them up yourself! 217 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,588 Don't forget that I pay your wages! 218 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,191 Now tell me honestly, what have you been drinking? 219 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,878 Two glasses of buttermilk and a coffee. Do you think I look drunk? 220 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,952 Both yes and no. Now I name a name and an address. Notice what I say. 221 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,438 Christian Esben Jacobsen, Class Street 88, 4th floor on the right. 222 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,631 Please remember that. Repeat when I ask. 223 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,994 Why the hell would I? They can just write it down, right? 224 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,434 Do you have a car, doctor? How much do you deduct in driving expenses? 225 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,119 It is possible that you have not been drinking. Eventually I don't believe that. 226 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,472 But you seem out of balance. Pretty excited. 227 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,194 Damn it, when you think about what I've been through! 228 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,916 Just because you have soot in the chimney and cauliflower in the backyard - 229 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,271 - and then presented to an elephant in the middle of the country road. 230 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,473 Now I have to tell you something I didn't dare tell the police. 231 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:26,198 There wasn't one elephant, there were five! One, two, three, four, five! 232 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,995 - Excuse me for talking straight. - It does not matter. 233 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,751 - Excuse me for talking straight! - I'll be right back. 234 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,678 Sorry! 235 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,915 He's not drunk.

Oh, sweet little Alexander... 250 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,877 - What happened? - I do not know yet. 251 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,150 Yes, he was terribly excited when he got home this afternoon. 252 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,229 I asked him to go for a drive to relax. 253 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,278 You don't say that? Then it's all my fault. 254 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,110 - What happened? - He's had a nervous breakdown. 255 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,757 He drove in the ditch because he sees elephants everywhere. 256 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,833 Hello? 257 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,869 Yes of course. I will come as soon as I can. 258 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:16,829 He must be hospitalized. Do you want to go in there? 259 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,398 Oh, no. 260 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,595 - No, come on, little darling. - Yes, yes, now I'm coming. 261 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:31,275 Mr. Alexander, we can't just let a sick man go. 262 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,632 I'm not sick. But are you holding me back for my own money, - 263 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,595 - then I will be. I refuse to be hospitalized! Denies! 264 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,231 Your wife has signed the admission form. 265 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,750 She stands at home and cooks meatballs for DKK 20! 266 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,350 She's sitting out there and wants to talk to you. 267 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,958 You must do everything you can to calm him down. 268 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,709 The doctor says to just agree with him on everything. 269 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,912 Of course we will do everything to help him. 270 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,912 - Have you admitted me? - Yes, I had to. 271 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,271 Did they force you? Are they all crazy? 272 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,713 And why are you locked inside? And you, William? For a mere DKK 800? 273 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,230 Sorry, but they forced me to hand you over. 274 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,433 You don't have to worry about that. It will all work out. 275 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,110 Your wife and brother-in-law are free to go. We are done with them. 276 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,836 Then maybe I can be allowed to talk to them alone? 277 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,391 - Can we do that? - Yes, it is fine. 278 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,791 How do I get out? William, what are we going to do? 279 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:56,269 It will be easier to slip out of the hospital. There are no officers. 280 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,393 Let yourself be admitted, then I'll probably come and talk to you. 281 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,400 - Do you really mean that is the way? - So I think it's the best. 282 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,229 All right, I'll do it. 283 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,315 Goodbye, Birthe. 284 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,239 Goodbye, little Alexander. 285 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,354 Birthe, you believe the elephant was there, don't you? 286 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,031 Yes, I do. I have so often heard people talk about - 287 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,677 - the elephants running around up in Kolleroed Hegn. 288 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:59,037 Here we got a new patient last night, a representative Alex Alexander. 289 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,719 - What's the matter with him? - Obsessions. Hallucinations. 290 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,390 I talked to him a bit. He feels persecuted by society, - 291 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,558 - which has upset his sense of reality - 292 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,117 - and gave him delusions. He has started seeing elephants. 293 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,433 Is he very excited? 294 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,714 Last night it was bad, but I gave him a shot to calm down. 295 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,714 (Alexander snores) 296 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,635 Who are they? Where am I? I have to be at the office at half past nine! 297 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,193 You are in the hospital and you can sleep as long as you want. 298 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,279 You need rest, and we'll probably make sure you get that. 299 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,277 - Superintendent Thoegersen. - Alexander. 300 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,516 - Reserve doctor Jespersen. - Alexander. 301 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,029 - Foster mother Ms. Brodersen. - Alexander. 302 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,912 - Candidate Holm. - Alexander. 303 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,476 - Nurse Ms. Hilding. - Elephants. Oh, Alexander. 304 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,797 It was you who stole the clothes from me! Where is it? 305 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,636 - You get it when you need it. - I can't run nude in the office. 306 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,752 I have spoken to your wife. She informs the company. 307 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,270 What do I have to lie here for? I'm not feeling sick. 308 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,711 36.8 and heart rate 72. Who can beat that? 309 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,831 They are right. Physically, you are perfectly healthy. 310 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,238 - They just had too much speed. - I have admitted that. 311 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,318 But it was impossible to avoid the elephants! 312 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,830 Sleep now, I'll come and talk to you this afternoon. 313 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,318 I am going to Kolding and demonstrate our new calculator for Huttemeyer. 314 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,270 Now slow down a bit, Mr. Alexander. 315 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,596 After all, that's what the big money should be used for. 316 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,398 They live in a welfare state which ensures the well-being of its citizens. 317 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,871 Alex has been hospitalized for four days and we are still not allowed to visit him. 318 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,712 The head doctor says he must not return to his normal surroundings, - 319 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,957 - before he has gotten those grills out of his head. 320 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,229 It can take a long time. I have read in one of my medical books about a man, - 321 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,672 - there saw balloons everywhere. He was kept in isolation for a whole year. 322 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:39,352 And then he jumped from the fourth floor because he thought he was sitting in a balloon. 323 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,757 It must have been quite a special case since it was in book. 324 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,830 Nah, it's very common. Now look at him the tram conductor, - 325 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,077 - which comes to Christiansborg every year - 326 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,909 - to present his new party programme. 327 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,112 He has been there again. It was in the newspaper. 328 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:05,270 It's not that bad with Alexander. He is healthy and fit in every way. 329 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,758 He will probably soon be freed from his strange obsessions. 330 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,873 In a little while the chief physician will come again to talk about the cursed elephants. 331 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,312 Take them in again. Eat them alive, all five of them. 332 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,913 It is the only way to freedom. Huttemeyer is waiting in Kolding. 333 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,198 Good morning, Mr. Alexander. I want to be alone. 334 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,718 - The chief physician would like to be alone. - The chief physician would like to be alone. 335 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,753 May I be allowed to ask the chief physician a question? 336 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,077 They mustn't laugh if it sounds crazy, - 337 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,070 - but have I talked about some elephants here in the last few days? 338 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:05,071 I'm not sure if it's a dream or something I've fantasized. 339 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,192 You don't have to speculate about that any longer. 340 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:14,749 They are going to get up a little today and go for a walk in the garden with Ms. Hilding. 341 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,190 They are getting much better. 342 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,836 I also feel that myself. Do you think I can come home now? 343 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,158 Now don't pick up the pace. Then you will have strange dreams again. 344 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,070 But I long for my wife, my house and my new chimney. 345 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,955 Now be satisfied with the trip in the garden today. 346 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,755 He is on the mend. My conversations with him have worked. 347 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,428 They can go for a walk in the garden with him in the afternoon. 348 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,870 You must be one hell of a man. 349 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:05,074 To think the superintendent smoked that cigar. Playing the fool to appear normal. 350 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,154 Why won't he say what time you have to come home and see family? 351 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,636 Huttemeyer soon buys his machine from Soerensen and Smedegaard. 352 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,709 Then your commission goes up in smoke, and then you can't pay tax. They are crazy here. 353 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,998 Whoa, no! 354 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,230 - Good day. Nice to meet you. - What do they want? Give me my birds. 355 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,238 Yes, let's put them in here. 356 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,989 - Where should the parrots stand? - It's budgies. Put them in the window. 357 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,394 They did not answer who you are and what you are doing here in hospital clothes. 358 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,835 I have jumped over the wall. I longed for my wife. 359 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,918 - May I borrow your phone? - I have none. 360 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,193 - They must go down to the shopkeeper, I usually do.. - It won't work in this situation. 361 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,916 Won't you call my wife? Ordrup 4916. 362 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,796 Ask her to come immediately and bring some clothes. Preferrably without stripes. 363 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,871 Something tells me - 364 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:43,313 - that when you don't leave the hospital through the gate, something is wrong. 365 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,712 - What's wrong? - I am hospitalized for chicken pox. 366 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,435 I'm in my third month there, and then you long for your wife. 367 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,633 But you understand me, dear madam. They have heart. 368 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:02,109 You carry your birds down into the sun to make them happy. Makes me happy too and brighten my day. 369 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,796 Go downstairs and call my wife. Ordrup 4916. 370 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,516 If you've escaped from the hospital, I don't want anything to do with you. You're lying. 371 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,591 All right. 372 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,918 Then I will tell you the truth. I don't have chicken pox. 373 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,954 I lie isolated in a small room with bars for the window, - 374 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,312 - because the chief doctor won't believe that I ran into an elephant. 375 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,310 They also think I'm insane. They are no better than the chief medical officer and the police. 376 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,988 But you are the ones who should be locked up! 377 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,476 Take it easy. I'll probably call your wife. 378 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,389 When he saw it, he turned the whites out of his eyes. 379 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,673 I tried to remove it, but then he was over the wall. 380 00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:00,318 He has a hard time hiding himself in that outfit. We'll have him here again soon. 381 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,670 - It was good you came. - Where is he? 382 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,838 Second floor on the left. He is scrupulous. 383 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,992 Open up, or we'll blow the doer! 384 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,918 - Where is the kitchen staircase? - By the kitchen stairs. 385 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,471 Hands up! 386 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,195 Name and Address. 387 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,795 Whoa, stop! Stop him! 388 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,116 Well, that's you? 389 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,909 And you are paid wages. Yes. Yes. Come. 390 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,553 I had hoped we would only have your husband for a few days, - 391 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,435 - but when just a toy elephant can get him into an affectation, - 392 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,076 - then it probably runs deeper than first assumed. 393 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,068 We must keep him for a while. 394 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,312 Do you even think he can get well again? 395 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:13,834 I have read in my books that it can take several years before a neurosis is resolved. 396 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:19,519 It will probably require me to get to the bottom of his entire emotional life. 397 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:23,599 I would like to ask you to give me information about, - 398 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,113 - how his life has shaped itself from childhood to marriage. 399 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:35,236 He is an extremely sweet person. A loving and caring husband. 400 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,352 He is diligent and very interested in his work. 401 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,633 But he can get terribly hot-tempered. 402 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:48,113 Then he rolls down all obstacles. But it has also created his career. 403 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,231 And now caused his psychic knockdown. What was he like as a child? 404 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,192 Adorable. He weighed six pounds at birth, - 405 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,358 - and I cared for him according to all the prescriptions in the doctor's book. 406 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:08,992 We skip the first few years. What was he like from 2 to 4 years of age? 407 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,555 Was he healthy and well? 408 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,878 It's good, you wonder. He had measles. 409 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,629 I made the diagnosis myself and hung up dark curtains. 410 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,072 I gave him acetylsalesyl dissolved in chamomile tea, put him on a meat-free diet - 411 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,556 - and dusted him all over with bromine chloride. 412 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:32,915 I tied the arms in sterile gauze boiled in white iodine and distilled water, - 413 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:39,468 - after which I completely isolated him. When the doctor came, it turned out, - 414 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,150 - that they were rubella. And then he was showered with potato flour. 415 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,313 Poor child. How did it go later? 416 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,675 I have the family album with me. It starts with him on an ice bear skin - 417 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,475 - and ends with a wedding photo. Now I have to tell. 418 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,356 It is not necessary. I am going through the album with your son. 419 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,551 - Well. Here you go. - Thanks. 420 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,753 - When can I visit him? - He must receive a visit in a few days. 421 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,077 Time must be terribly long for him. He is so full of initiative. 422 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:17,799 That's why I put him in the living room with a harmless but entertaining patient. 423 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,551 A tram conductor with slightly too overwhelming political ambitions. 424 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,311 I know everything about him! He suffers from manic psychosis. 425 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,435 No, how funny it is that my daughter is lying in the living room with him! 426 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,278 But mother-in-law though. 427 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,630 When you, like me, drive through the city streets year in and year out... Ding, ding! 428 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:46,637 ... and see the pulverizing life, then you gain clarity and realize, - 429 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,355 - that the whole shebang is to hell. 430 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:51,470 Heard! 431 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,196 Everyone complains that the money doesn't add up. How is the problem solved? 432 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,520 Simply. It's in my new program statement page 2, line 8. Ding, ding! 433 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:04,393 Up with the salary, down with the prices, away with the taxes! 434 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,878 Then you must see the family going on a forest trip. Do you want to come, mate? 435 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,156 Yes, just give me a transfer to paradise. 436 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,796 And for the money saved by abolishing the tax system, - 437 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,231 - the national pension can be tripled and introduced at the age of 14. 438 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,159 The money is paid out once a month, - 439 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,272 - and there is a prize for those who use them first! 440 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,995 Can you hear the cash registers whirring? Ding, ding! 441 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,869 And if the tied savings are turned into forced extra consumption, - 442 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,117 - then I can hear the bells ringing. Where do you get those ideas from? 443 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,595 They are hand catched on the line boo! 444 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,237 The limit has been reached. We must create a vacuum of distrust in the government. 445 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,718 New men must lie in the cake. One of them stands here. Is the other one sitting there? 446 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,751 Sure, but do you think the one-chamber system can be routed from a two-bed room? 447 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,952 And which stool do you have in mind for me? 448 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,072 Wait, the bar has jumped off. 449 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,513 Then there is electricity again. Minister of Housing. Raise the rent to triple, - 450 00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:11,475 - then people have to move, apartments become available and the housing problem is solved! 451 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,673 - Can I count on you, mate? - No, I don't dare, you. 452 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,032 If we call an election, the chief of medicine will probably choose to keep us in here. 453 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:27,351 What nonsense. He has promised to become fisheries minister. Ding, ding! 454 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,719 What do you think it looks like? 455 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,231 A fish. 456 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,834 Oh. 457 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,751 And if I keep it that way? 458 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,349 A fish on the head. 459 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,194 We'll take another. 460 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,320 What does it represent? 461 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,754 - Two fish. - Are you making a bit of trouble now. 462 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:04,511 Hold the board slightly away and up in the air. What is it now? 463 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,630 Two flying fish. 464 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,879 If you're going to make fun of the whole thing, we'll have to wait to see you in 14 days. 465 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,108 I have time to wait, but then it will just take longer for you to get well. 466 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,715 But I'm not sick! 467 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,196 It does not surprise me that you still insist that you are not ill. 468 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:32,394 People with your illness only recognize it when they have recovered. 469 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,591 But when I already feel well, - 470 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,598 - how do I find out when I am healthy? 471 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,999 I'll have to tell you that. They just have to help me. 472 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,438 I would like to. I'll try again. 473 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,314 A dog behind a bush. 474 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,799 You can hardly see it from the bush. 475 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:02,591 Now we put those boards aside, and then you take a cigarette and relax. 476 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,315 I will find out the events in your life, - 477 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,638 - that has caused your neurotic state. 478 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,357 You must tell me everything, - 479 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,154 - what you have been exposed to and which has made an impression on you. 480 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:23,469 Right from childhood to the other day, you really and mentally drove in the ditch. 481 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:28,117 There will be something to talk about. Where should I start and end? 482 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,429 I spoke to your mother yesterday. She had brought a book with her. 483 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:39,351 A family album with a particularly rich picture material about you. 484 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:45,432 At first, let's use these images as a starting point. 485 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,470 Here is one. 486 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:53,630 Yes, darn it. I go there in the 5th grade in Ms. Brodersen's private school. 487 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:59,710 Here is Ms. Brodersen, and there are Olfert and Michael, the two labans. 488 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:05,712 They were my bullies in school. I remember the terrible day the picture was taken. 489 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,478 Tell. 490 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,031 We lined up in the schoolyard as you always do on those pictures, - 491 00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:14,789 - but it was a tricky for the photographer to keep the joints in order. 492 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,198 My mother had dressed me nicely for the photo shoot. 493 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,554 Think I got through it. Olfert and Michael made it hell. 494 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,672 I explained to Ms. Brodersen, that the hat was not my fault. 495 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,190 I didn't want to be in the picture at all. The cursed page hair. 496 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,719 When the picture was taken, Olfert and Michael wanted revenge because I told. 497 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,876 They tied ribbons in my hair and gave me wet pants. 498 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,077 Then they shouted: "Sissy boy, sissy boy!" 499 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,159 I could have killed them! Trampled them to death, both of them! 500 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,592 Did you wish you were a big, strong animal? 501 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:48,033 I remember some pictures from the book where you were in the Zoo with your mom. 502 00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:57,677 The days at the Zoo are among the happiest of my childhood. 503 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,117 Mother always had the doctor's book with her, and while she was reading it, - 504 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,676 - I walked around and looked at the animals. 505 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,599 There was one of the monkeys I loved. I called it "The Great Bastian." 506 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,510 I admired it. It also had page hair, - 507 00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:30,395 - and yet it could beat all the others. 508 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,396 In the meantime, my mother shared her knowledge of all kinds of beautiful diseases. 509 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,754 I also liked the lions. 510 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,476 When I saw the king of beasts with his lovely family, - 511 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,513 - I had the greatest desire to let them out, - 512 00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:18,474 - so they could take revenge on those who had locked them in. 513 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,279 But most of all I loved the elephant. 514 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,432 I could stand for hours. I think Jumbo liked me too. 515 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,195 Because one day my mother came and lifted me up from the grid, - 516 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,994 - he helped me get revenge. 517 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,955 He ate the doctor's book. 518 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,359 But unfortunately my mother had many medical books, she collected them. 519 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,150 Then we can finish for today. 520 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,714 - Was the chief physician satisfied? - Brilliant, absolutely. 521 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,799 Then we'll see each other every day between 11 and 12. Now try to calm down a bit. 522 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,278 They can be visited twice a week and write home as often as they want. 523 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:30,870 "I've settled in well now, but three weeks is also a long time." 524 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:36,074 "I talk to the head doctor every day. We're almost through the family album." 525 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,670 "I have told about you all in minute detail, - 526 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,316 - so be careful, the superintendent won't keep you." 527 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,911 Should a doctor squeeze all possible indiscretions out of a patient? 528 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:54,389 So settled. It is the circle of friends that determines a person's development. 529 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,958 Therefore, the doctor must familiarize himself with everything that Alexander has been exposed to. 530 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,838 I hope he has told about all your private diagnoses. 531 00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,674 Now I have to tell you something. 532 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,112 Had I not kept Alexander's health under keen observation,— 533 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,231 - then he would have broken down a long time ago. 534 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:19,309 And I'll probably also take care of him when he comes out again, it's my motherly duty. 535 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,033 Then read on. 536 00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:26,712 "From the head doctor, I will ask mother to look up A. Simonsen's new doctor's book - 537 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,230 - and learn page 121 by heart." 538 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:36,749 No, how nice of him! And I just have it with me. 539 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,390 - Which side did you say? - 121. 540 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,797 I just looked it up. What does it say? 541 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:49,597 "These kinds of people ruin their own lives with their hypochondria - 542 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:54,396 - and is harmful to the environment, as their wisecracks - 543 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,151 - can give even the healthiest people morbid obsessions." 544 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,148 Why do I have to memorize it? I have to talk to the supervisor about that. 545 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,237 Shall we continue with the letter? 546 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,671 "You, William, we'll talk about first thing tomorrow." 547 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,235 "I look forward to seeing the chief physician's reaction, - 548 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,193 - when I entrust him with your life's great secret." 549 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,119 - Are you sick? - What? 550 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:19,833 Continue. 551 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,712 "I have to say hello from my roommate, the tram minister." 552 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,070 "He was pleased with the grapes you brought for me, - 553 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,555 - but would rather have cigars next time." 554 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,470 "He will give you a lecture the next time you come. See you later." 555 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,636 When I got engaged to my wife, I was introduced to her brother. 556 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:45,198 A nice guy, but he had difficulty making female acquaintances. 557 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,518 As a young man he was out sailing. He and some friends were in a festive mood, - 558 00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:52,632 - and he got a tattoo. 559 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:58,039 The result was longing mermaids and sinking ships all over the body. 560 00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:01,437 The girls shrieked with laughter as soon as he bared an arm, - 561 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,633 - and it gave him complexes. I stand here with him. 562 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,671 They look pretty mad in the face. What had brought you into affect? 563 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,117 We had gone swimming together. 564 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,313 I was, as usual, fresh and first. 565 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,312 Stop a moment. I need to jump back a bit in the story. 566 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:36,476 It was in May and the water was cold, so it was important to get in quickly. 567 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,873 And quickly up again. I yelled at William, "Hurry now!" 568 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,913 But then two adorable bath nymphs appeared, - 569 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,511 - and he bothered to show them to his longing mermaids. 570 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:01,116 I explained to him that this sort of thing is only to be laughed at. 571 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,869 It was my fault he got into the water that day, - 572 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:16,074 - and as a thank you he pulled me into the tub with a bathrobe and all. 573 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,711 A strange way to treat me, isn't it? 574 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,196 I only did it so that he would have contact with the girls. 575 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,238 Now we both laughed at. 576 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:43,149 - That's why I'm crazy about the picture. - It's something you become very easily. 577 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,591 But like that, every human being has a soul defect. 578 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,759 It just degenerates in a very different way. 579 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,710 Now all we need is the wedding photo. You look happy and satisfied there. 580 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:05,358 My wife is a lovely girl, but even on my wedding day there was trouble. 581 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,559 Now take that picture. I get tired of showing my teeth. 582 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,117 Now it was just as good. Head slightly to the right. 583 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:19,633 We settle for those that are taken! I don't play fashion model all day. 584 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,071 Let it be good now. The carriage stops down there. 585 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,158 As you wish, sweet children. 586 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,439 Then you make a set of test photos and send them to my home. 587 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,837 Finally, remember the ones I myself am involved in. 588 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:41,832 The marriage was not an hour old before my wife straightened her fringes, not even at home. 589 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,915 She was so neat and tidy that it sometimes took the piss out of me. 590 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:58,118 What a lot of rice grains I have on me. And in the bouquet. 591 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,072 Kiss Me. 592 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,831 You are also full of grit in your hair and on your clothes. 593 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,191 No, no! Alexander though. 594 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:13,799 You shake it out on the fine carpet. I put the bouquet out in the kitchen sink. 595 00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:08,235 Don't you know those grains are supposed to bring us luck? 596 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,638 Should our happiness end in a vacuum cleaner on the very first night? 597 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,591 So give me that kiss, love. 598 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:23,949 (the phone) 599 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,799 - The phone is ringing. - Let it ring, dammit. 600 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,468 It's probably your mother.

Hooray! Hooray!

Yes, it was the left front leg. 729 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:03,312 - Why haven't you said that? - I didn't think anything happened. 730 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,159 But I took the number of the car.

Has Mr. Alexander agreed to the drive? 743 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,677 No. Mr. Alexander drove on immediately after the accident, - 744 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,589 - and only on one occasion did the victim manage to note down his number. 745 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,793 - Did you try to escape responsibility? - It's perfect beep! 746 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,912 It all stems from my school days, when I had page hair, - 747 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,351 - and Olfert and Michael gave me water in my pants. 748 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,149 - Please keep to the point. - That's what I do. 749 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,716 When the two labans had destroyed my sailor's hat, - 750 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:38,311 - I got so furious that my mother had to take me to the zoo. 751 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,638 - What does that have to do with the case? - I have to tell you that. 752 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:46,391 It was there that I met the elephant, but then it read my mother's medical book. 753 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,715 I don't understand a word of it all. Was your mother in the carriage? 754 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,919 Yes, in the tram. We drove out there on line 6. 755 01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:00,432 Silence in the hall! Isn't the case about a car accident? 756 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:05,151 Yes. Mr. Alexander drove in a public car without passengers. 757 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:10,435 Why are you trying to explain away? The report says you were alone in the car. 758 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,155 I was seven years old when I met Jumbo, - 759 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,558 - and the volkswagon had not been invented then. Doesn't that prove I'm telling the truth? 760 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:25,996 Their childhood is irrelevant. Stick to the elephant in Kolleroed. 761 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:31,390 It wasn't there at all! It was just a cat running across the road! 762 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,637 May I ask the audience to leave the hall. 763 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:41,514 Mr. Alexander, it does not apply to you. Please come back. 764 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,110 Tell me, aren't you drunk? 765 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,277 Now it can be enough to drive me crazy! 766 01:09:51,480 --> 01:09:55,109 Every time I tell the truth, they claim I'm drunk! 767 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,711 Do I have to stand and lie in court to appear sober? 768 01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:04,433 No cursing in court! They must set a proper tone. 769 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,756 Otherwise you will be imprisoned. 770 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,236 It does not matter. Then I will be among normal people. 771 01:10:10,440 --> 01:10:13,591 Shall we then stick to the matter. 772 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,471 Why would a zookeeper go to the police and tell, - 773 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,070 - that you have driven one of his elephants? 774 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,999 If anyone has seen elephants in Kolleroed Hegn, - 775 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,273 - then they suffer from hallucinations or neuroses! 776 01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:32,836 Oh my god, we're all a little crazy. 777 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,316 Don't you think I noticed that you are sitting and painting... 778 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,673 ... little men behind bars? Why did you draw it? 779 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:45,112 Because you suffer from the obsessive thought that you yourself will end up in there one day. 780 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,273 That's enough! Please arrest Mr. Alexander. 781 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,748 Give the report to the duty officer. The case resumes tomorrow. 782 01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,271 Mr. Alexander must submit to a breathalyzer test. 783 01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,994 Liquor tasting? I see. 784 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:09,956 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93... Aren't you going to throw away your keys soon? 785 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,358 - Why? - Because we have to finish. 786 01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,189 And I have something very important to tell you. 787 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:24,033 Ask the duty officer to call Station 11 and ask Superintendent Mogensen about, - 788 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,630 - what is written in the report that was recorded concerning me - 789 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,798 - on 14 July this year. 790 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,709 There is the proof that it was I who spoke the truth in court today, - 791 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:40,040 - and that it is the judge who should have been sitting here. Here you go! 792 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:45,436 One moment, Mr. Alexander. I'll be right back. 793 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,032 - He's not drunk. - What's the matter? 794 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,198 I think something is wrong up here. 795 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:01,030 He tells us to call Station 11 for a report from July 1 4th. 796 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,951 You don't say that? The man is right. 797 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,590 From what we were told at the time, there was no elephant. 798 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,119 My Goodness! There must be a misunderstanding. 799 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:18,639 We must have the new report immediately so we can compare with the old one. 800 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,237 You have to deal with that matter. Keep me out. 801 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,669 You have to deal with that matter. Keep me out. 802 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:37,229 Go to the hospital with that case, and ask the chief doctor to keep me out. 803 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,919 You have to deal with that matter.
