:30:01
Do your best,
and bring something to drink at once.

:30:03
Yes, right away, My Lord.
:30:05
You don't know what this means to me.
:30:07
Have you ever traveled?
Have you ever been far from home?

:30:10
Have you ever been homesick?
:30:13
I have never been out of Sweden.
:30:15
Then you don't know
what it is to be homesick.

:30:17
You don't know what it means
to feel that sense of loss.

:30:20
The pain of nostalgia.
:30:23
One can feel nostalgia for places
one has never seen.

:30:28
Yes, that's quite true.
:30:30
Young man, that is the second time
I have underestimated you.

:30:33
My Lords.
:30:37
The foreigner,
he promised 15 thalers for a bed.

:30:40
When did I ever let slip 15 thalers?
:30:42
To the kitchen!
:30:44
Imagine, in this icecap,
finding someone who knows Spain.

:30:49
You understand I admire your country.
:30:52
It's rugged and strong and impressive.
:30:54
It has all the virile qualities.
:30:56
And from all your northern fastness here,
the Viking spirit has dominated Europe.

:31:00
But what do the Vikings talk about
in the evenings...

:31:03
when they come home
from war and hunting?

:31:06
Do they know the arts of living?
:31:08
- You find us uncouth?
- Look at these people.

:31:11
This is my lager.
:31:31
I'll say this for them,
they know how to enjoy themselves.

:31:34
At home, our people are less hearty,
but more graceful.

:31:39
It's all a question of climate.
:31:41
You can't serenade a woman
in a snowstorm.

:31:45
All the graces in the arts of love...
:31:48
the elaborate approaches that
would make the game of love amusing...

:31:52
can only be practiced in those countries
that quiver in the heat of the sun...

:31:56
in the still, languorous nights,
where every breeze caresses with amour...
