31) Ext. Gothenburg - riverbank - day
While Magnus is waiting he feeds the ducks at
the river.
His backpack is standing beside him.
He takes out his last cigarette, crunches the
package and throws it away.
A slight smile comes to his face as he watches
the ducks.
Magnus
(quiet)
How much such a small change of perspective
sometimes can give you...
He looks up and sees Lasse coming. For a
moment his face darkens just to become without emotion.
Lasse stops in a short distance and looks at
the river.
Magnus throws away his cigarette and turns
towards him.
Magnus
Hello Lasse. How was your journey to
Gothenburg?
Lasse
(surprised)
I'm sorry, do we know each other?
Magnus
I'm a close friend of Ari.
Pause. Lasse thinks.
Lasse
Ari? Where is Ari? We wanted to go together
on a journey.
Magnus
He is waiting for us there. He was so
impatient that he already left a couple of days ago.
Lasse
Hmmmm... That sounds strange... Did
something happen?
Magnus
Yea, he became quite pale... Ehh, I mean...
He stayed at home a lot. And didn't have many visitors... you know. He finally
wanted to get going.
Lasse
Did he say anything?
Magnus
Only that I should meet you and that you
would show me the way.
Lasse
He inaugurated you?
Magnus
Yes.
Pause.
Lasse
In that case we can make our way together...
Magnus
Good.
Lasse looks quite agonized. But quickly his
face brightens again.
Lasse
All right. Ari will have done the right
thing. And really soon we will be reunited.
Magnus
That's right. Shall we go?
Lasse
Yes, our train leaves soon! Destiny is
calling!
Lasse walks ahead without waiting for Magnus.
Magnus thinks for a short time, scratches his
head and follows.
Magnus
Is this really the first time I'm getting
out of this fucking town?
Magnus catches up.
Magnus
(sceptical)
Are you some kind of loner?
Lasse
Loner? No. I am always among people. Sometimes
here, sometimes there. Though, from time to time I also like wandering for a
few days through secluded, pristine nature.
It seems Ari did not tell you much about me.
Magnus
No, not really. He only went into raptures
over your magical place all the time. Without being too precise. Somehow he
always had fables and riddles.
Lasse
Yes, that is true.
Lasse stops walking.
Lasse
But why are you talking about him in the
past?
Magnus bites his lips and also stops walking.
Magnus
Oh, I didn't even realize. You know, I had a
short night.
Lasse
How did you get to know each other?
Magnus
In an Internet forum.
Lasse
The net is his world.
Magnus
And your travelogues. You're aware that he
experiences the world half through you?
Lasse
Yes I know. It arose from his terrible
accident... I strive to convey my journeys to him in as much detail as
possible.
Magnus
He felt quite down about you not getting in
touch with him for a long time...
Lasse
I know. I've totally neglected him recently.
In fact I wanted to be with him weeks ago. I won't forgive myself that...
Lasse goes on walking.
Magnus
Oh, I believe you for sure!
Magnus follows.
Lasse
But as soon as I am with him, I am sure he
will understand my behaviour.
