Erik Hell: Stivhatten
Quotes
-
Stivhatten : In other countries, in the South, it's not like this. There you can actually have a conversation. Here in the Northern countries you might as well have the plague - if you happen to be alone. In Sweden where I belong, it's even worse.
-
Stivhatten : It's sad to be lonely.
Katinka Stordal : You've got to have some friends?
Stivhatten : On payday, sure.
-
Stivhatten : What are you supposed to do this time of year? Like today when I finished my work at one o'clock? I come here sometimes during the evenings, but you have to be at least a barber or similar to be prospect. And then you find some stupid, ugly girl to accompany you 'til morning. Awful.
-
Katinka Stordal : Travel. Travel far away, that would be pleasant.
Stivhatten : By all means. It's a big sky, fresh air and beautiful women in the ports. Some don't care about women, except for one thing, obviously. I personally, like women otherwise as well. Enjoy spending time with them. You are pretty.
Katinka Stordal : Don't say such things to me.
Stivhatten : I have to be able to speak my piece.
-
Stivhatten : I'd like to give you something beautiful. A flower. Do you like Bellis? They had it in the flower shop.
Katinka Stordal : Billis? Such a beautiful name. It has to be Latin?
Stivhatten : Hell if I know. That's what we call it in Sweden. Some call it, "Tusensköna".
Katinka Stordal : Ah, you mean, "Tusenfryd".
Stivhatten : Yeah, right. "Tusenfryd". A thousand pleasures.
-
Stivhatten : [singing] Who can sail without wind? Who can row with out oars? Who can lose a friend without shedding a tear?
-
Stivhatten : You could become happy again. Listen the two of us could travel. The crazies could play together. I can play as you know, and you could sing.
Katinka Stordal : [laughs] You're crazy. Me, sing?
Stivhatten : Yes. I'd help you of course. And you - We'd be free.
