People have been calling and calling.
Can I come back later?
I work until five.
Alright.
You can come back in an hour.
Ok, bye.
Where is the socket?
It is over there.
Good that we could solve the problem.
People have been calling like crazy.
You know,
they can't live without their TV.
Yes... or NO, I don't know.
I don't have a TV.
Well, strange.
People watch too much TV.
Really nice old flat you got.
Yes, but I have to move soon.
They are going to tear the house down.
They tear all the old houses nowadays.
Capitalism rules.
Well, now we are all set.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes thanks,
I've been working hard
since this morning.
That would be really nice.
This is New Age music.
I got it from a friend.
It is nice, relaxing.
I prefer Bruce and Ulf Lundell.
Did you go to the concert?
Everbody's got a hungry heart.
Everybody's got a hungry heart.

You seem to be a real "working class hero".
The tea wasn't bad, I usually binge coffee.
I don't drink coffee, my stomach hurts.
I have an iron stomach.
What do you work with?
I'm a psychologist but I'm long-term sick,
I had problems at my work place,
cut-offs, stress...
I call it a paus.
So you aren't working?
Nice to be free!
Nice to be free?
Are you crazy?
I've had a hard time.
But I try to get out and meet people,
take courses and try to relax.
I do a kundalini yoga course.
We work with our chakras.
I used to take speed before,
but I cut that out.
Now I drink an occasional beer after work.
My wife left.
She got feed up with me
working all the time
Now I'm all alone.
It feels sad
to come home to an empty flat.
Depressing...
I also go to a laughing course.
An Indian doctor invented the method,
it is healthy to laugh.
Ok.
We meet once a week and laugh together.
Do you want me to demonstrate?
Yes, please.
This is the vacuum cleaner laughter.
And this is the lion laughter.

After some time I got the urge
to create my own laughters.
Do you want me to show you?
Yes.
This is the monster laugh.
And this is the sex maniac laughter.
And finally, the best laughter,
the Norman Bates laughter.
I think I have to leave.
I have to check up more cables.
But you can't leave now.
Oops! You spilled on yourself.
Sit down.
Sit down. Sit down!
I have to go.
Sit down! Sit down!
And talk with me
if you don't want to pass by.
We haven't introduced ourselves.
I'm Inga.
What is your name?

But they use to call me the Knight.

in antibiotics baths.
Pigs are close to humans in the gene set.
I watched it at a friends place.
Have you seen the TV in the backyard?
It landed there this morning,
a neighbour must have thrown
it out of the window.
I did knock on your neighbour's door,
but nobody opened.
He was probably at work.
Did you knock on Rune Eklöf's door?
Rune Eklöf?
He hasn't been working for over a year,
his small firm went bankrupt.
He is suicidal,
that is why they have the nets outside.
It is all your fault.
Terrorizing poor people
on the brink of collapse.
But I was only doing a check up
on the cables.
"I was only".
I do get you.
I know what you are after.
I'm not...
You TV license police are hideuos.
I'm not a TV license police.
I'll show you.
I'll show you what you are after.
There!
Take it out. Take it out!
Take IT out.
But I'm no...
Cut it out! Open the door!
Open the door.
Hello, it is nasty in here.
Bad air.
Let me out!
God dammit, let me out!
Hello! Hello?
Hello!
Please open the door.
This is no fun.
Ha ha ha!
What the hell!
That was a good one.
Do you want some tea?
Yes I would love to.
Good taste, what flavour is it?
Camomille tea,
good relaxation for the evening.
How nice of you to come down, Rune.
