- Hello, Hans.
- Hello, Peter.
:17:06
- Was it nice by the river?
- Just perfect.
:17:09
Did we have any customers today?
:17:12
Not one. It just gets slower and slower.
:17:17
Don't you think we should go to a larger
city where shoes wear out faster?
:17:21
And be stuck in the shop all day?
No, sir. I like business to be a little slow.
:17:26
There's time enough for everything here.
:17:29
That's what I mean, Hans. No shoes
wear out. No one ever leaves.
:17:33
Not one person in this village
has ever been to Copenhagen, have they?
:17:38
That's true, but why should they?
I never think about Copenhagen - do you?
:17:42
Do I? What do you suppose
Copenhagen is really like?
:17:48
It's a funny thing, now that you mention it.
I used to think about Copenhagen a lot.
:17:54
I used to make up the most wonderful
stories about going there.
:17:57
I used to think about Copenhagen
a lot when I was your age.
:18:01
My husband says the shoes hurt.
:18:03
- They squeak and the left one doesn't fit.
- That's all? That's not too bad, Mrs Burda.
:18:09
I sometimes think
that shoes have a life of their own.
:18:12
The ones that squeak
don't like to leave the shop,
:18:15
and the ones that hurt
don't like whoever's wearing them.
:18:19
Please, Hans, just fix the shoes.
I've got my own life to worry about.
:18:23
When Mr Burda's feet hurt,
he drives the whole house crazy.
:18:27
Hans, tell me. What kind of stories
did you make up about Copenhagen?
:18:33
Oh... I used to dream about having
the finest cobbler shop in Copenhagen.
:18:39
I wasn't just an ordinary cobbler.
I only saw people by appointment.
:18:44
First I looked at them
before I even looked at their shoes,
:18:48
and if I didn't like them, no shoes.
:18:50
Do you know that peop...?
:18:52
Where are you going?
Don't you want to hear the rest of it?
:18:58
- What's that?
- Your bag. It's all packed, Hans.
