15) Ext. Park - day
Lasse is sitting on a park bench with his packed bag beside him. He writes some lines on crinkled paper. From time to time he looks up dreamily.
On the same bench a man with a German shepherd is sitting. He reads a book. After a while he closes it... looks around... and then at Lasse.
Man
You are not from here, are you?
Lasse
No, I am just visiting for a couple of days.
Man
Oh. And whose guest are you?
Lasse
Pastor Johannsson.
Man
Are you a relative?
Lasse
No, just a good friend. I got to know him in Gothenburg, before he took up his position here.
Lasse smiles at the man's dog.
Man
Beautiful dog, isn't he?
Lasse
Yes. Truly a noble dog.
Man
(smirks)
Well. He has cost me a fortune.
Lasse
Life shouldn't be for sale.
Man
(laughs)
I wouldn't have bought a dead dog, though. But who knows? In some countries they go straight to the pot.
Lasse
They eat dogs in China...
Man
Have you been there?
Lasse
Yes.
Man
And, was it tasty?
Lasse
I couldn't tell you. I am a vegetarian.
Man
China ... China... quite far away. Do you know someone there?
Lasse
I've met many people and visited many places during my journeys.
Man
So how long have you been travelling around?
Lasse
About 5 years... But every now and then I return to Gothenburg.
Man
Soo... You've probably experienced a lot.
Lasse
Good things and bad things.
Man
Maybe you can you show me some pictures of China?
Lasse
I don't have any pictures...
Man
You travelled that far and didn't even take any pictures?
Lasse
Everything I experienced I wrote down. And I have it in my memory.
Man
So you wrote a book?
Lasse
No, letters... to my companion in Gothenburg. He cannot travel himself... that is why I let him share all my experiences.
Man
Okay. And where are you heading next?
Lasse
(smiles)
Home. I mean, first to Gothenburg... the day after tomorrow, to meet my companion...
Man
(gets up)
Well... Good luck then, young man.
Lasse
Farewell.
Man
Good bye. And take some pictures on your next journeys.
The man goes away with his dog. Lasse stays alone.
