: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.
:19:01
- My bag?
- Go to Copenhagen now. Right now.
:19:05
Are you crazy, Peter?
:19:07
That was a story I was telling.
Didn't you understand that?
:19:11
Of course I understood,
but part of it must be like you imagined,
:19:15
and maybe even great carriages
with fine horses,
:19:18
beautiful houses three storeys high.
:19:20
Don't you want to see it for yourself? It's
not so far from here - your bag's packed.
:19:25
All you have to do is walk out of that door.
Quick! Before you change your mind.
:19:31
Before I change my mind? Who said
I was going? Just like that, this afternoon?
:19:36
What's got into you, Peter, anyway?
:19:38
You forgot about Copenhagen
all these years.
:19:41
You may forget about it again
until you're too old to go.
:19:45
No, some day I'm really going
to Copenhagen.
:19:48
- That's the one thing I'm sure of.
- Who knows?
:19:51
Has anyone from this village gone
to Copenhagen before? Of course not.
:19:55
They keep putting it off.
Imagine, Hans, you'll be the first.
:19:59
What a to-do there'll be tomorrow.
They'll talk of nothing else for days.
