– Hi, Lennart, it’s Pelle.
– Hi, Pelle.
[cough]
– This bloody cough!
– Terrible!
– It was good of you to come.
– Sorry, Lennart, didn’t catch that.
– It was good of you to come!
– Well sure, you asked me to, but I can wait outside.
– No, no, no. Stay here. I’m flying to Barcelona at three.
– Right then.
– You’re not pleased, so I hear.
– No, actually I’m not, Lennart. I think it’s a shame.
– This is no fun. We’ll soon be up to 700.
– Who said anything about fun?
– You know very well we have to make it to a thousand.
– You really mean that, Lennart?
– I do.

– Everything has its day, Pelle.
– Yes, but…
– The pyramids had their day.
– Of course they did.
– Steam engines had their day.
– Sorry… didn’t quite catch that.
– Steam engines had their day.
– That’s true.
– This is a new day and age, Pelle. You have to realize that.
– True enough, but still…
– If this keeps up we’ll have to shut down entirely.
– That would be a disaster for a lot of people.
– What’s that got to do with us?
– You have a point…
– We won’t be around then, Pelle.
– Sorry, Lennart, what do you mean?
– I mean, what’s the point of staying where there is only misery?
– No, there’s no point.
– When that day comes I’ll be long gone…and so should you!
– Beloved be the ones who sit down.
