Post by bunniefuu »

Part 28: What you leave behind
In November-December 1991

Thank you.

You've become just as
impatient as Erkki.

You could have stayed a little longer,
I was about to make some coffee.

Oh, now the Forest Union guy is here.

I need to go to measure the logs.

I'll be right behind you.

I should still have to paint.

What is he painting now?

What? For the exhibition, of
course. You know that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, how about we make
some proper fresh coffee?

Let's do it, let's do it.

Then you could take some buns
to Liisa in the evening.

Yeah.

Who's calling now?

At Leppävaara.

Hello?

Hello?

He...

The call cut off right at the start.

49.25.

155.19.

40.19.

49.17.

58.17.

52.33.

40.17.

49.17.

Turo, it's Liisa.

So, about the exhibition space,
how big is it?

Well, I have that big painting, so...

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I'll call them.

Do you have the number?

Yeah, hold on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Kirkkonummi Library.

296, 71, and 90.

Got it.

Yeah, I'll tell.

Alright, bye.

Yeah, bye.

Let's stop this before I
hurt you too much.

You can keep the
house and the cows.

Liisa.

Come one now.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

You sure know how to surprise.

Hey, there’s been a small
change in the program.

This bar isn’t opening today.

Come on, hey...

At least let us pee.

Excuse me...

I mean, this place isn’t opening today. There was
a small change in the program. Sorry, sorry.

We came all the way here.

Let’s get out then.

Okay, okay, let’s go to our place.

Turo?

Well, at least there is one bottle...

Oh, f*cking hell.

?

?

They're really crazy.

Really nice of you to come.

You know, I should probably call
Leppävaara, so they won’t worry.

Call ahead.

Or maybe I’ll call later.

I’d really like to take a bath.

Of course.

Hey, Jaakko.

I have a product presentation
in Pori and Rauma.

And then maybe on the way back in
Eura, so it'll take a few days.

Jaakko!

Did you even listen to me?

Yeah.

I'm listening, I'm
listening, I'm listening.

Well, it's good that you have work.

Just remember to charge a proper
fee in addition travel and accommodation.

Of course.

I'm not stupid.

I just mean that even though this is
a bank-owned apartment, it still costs a fortune.

And heating the pool water
isn't exactly cheap either.

Well, of course I know that.

You're so irritable these days.

These are just things
worth keeping in mind.

Jaakko, to the exercise bike.

I need to make a
couple of work calls first.

Romseux?

You come too.

Thanks.

It's just me.

Hey, you go back to sleep.

I'll go milk the animals.

So you can rest a bit
longer before you go to school.

Thanks.

I stayed up late grading notebooks.

Erkki Metsola?

Yes?

We are from the neighboring municipality.
Good day, we would like...

Good day, good day.

We would like to discuss something
with you, if that's okay.

Of course, what is it about?

We are a group of
men, women, and even children.

We are interested in
skiing on the slopes.

In those beautiful landscapes.

Of course, you're welcome.
There's plenty of space.

There's just one little issue,
as we are all religious.

Some of us are very devout.

We believe that rock music does
not belong in God's beautiful nature.

It feels wrong to be surrounded by the Lord's
nature while godless rock music blares in our ears.

Right.

Well, we have thought about this issue.

But during the day, a
lot of young people visit.

And for them, this "blaring" is an
essential part of the whole skiing experience.

Yes, yes.

Well, what about in the evening?

Well, the slopes are open
until 8 in the evening.

So, night skiing.

But unfortunately, the music
plays then as well.

Although, of course, it could
be played more quietly.

Yes, that would be good.

If we come in the evening.

Let's do that. Then it's dark,
and God's beautiful nature isn't visible.

That works. Welcome.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey, Erkki, hello.

Well, hello, hello.

Came to take out more loans?

No, not me. What about you? No?

Yeah, you have a different kind
of investment in mind here.

Well.

I mean, here at the bank.

Is it a short-term
or long-term investment?

It’ll take a little time, just a moment.

Look...

Excuse me. Is
Director Heikkinen available?

Yes, go right in, she’s waiting for you.

Thank you, excuse me.

Good day.
- Good day.

I'm glad you could come.

You had something to discuss.

Would it be alright if we
drop the formalities? I'm Laila.

Erkki, thank you.

This is about the
ski resort's insurance policies.

Yes?

As you know, a mortgaged property must
be insured for its full value.

Yes, I believe we have all
the necessary insurance in place.

Yes, but they are not up to date.

You’ve built a new wing for the slope
café center and a new ski lift.

Yes.

And these haven't been considered
in the insurance policy.

The coverage amount should be increased
immediately to reflect their actual value.

I... I didn't even think about that.

Can you take care of these policies right away
so we can get our paperwork in order?

Of course, of course, absolutely.

Yes, well. Yes, that’s fine.

So, it would be already next
week? No, no, that works.

Yeah, well, I can contact him myself.

Yeah. Alright, thanks.

*Swedish* What do you
have there? Or something...

*Swedish* Here?

*Swedish* Yeah.

*Swedish* This is brake.

*Swedish* This is...

*Swedish* This is brake then.

*Swedish* Yeah.

*Swedish* This is gas.

*Swedish* Aha.

*Swedish* And then you twist
it like this. Or something.

*Swedish* Like this. Or something.

*Swedish* This is...

*Swedish* You think you can
handle this? Or something.

*Swedish* No problem, no problem.

*Something in Swedish*

Well, is it nice?

I just...

admire it here.

Come dad.

Let’s all go for a ride.

Not me.

I have to go to the greenhouse.

Aha.

Dad is now completely sold on it after
I explaine all those fancy computer greenhouse details.

Well, it's all clear then?

Yes, it’s a
completely rational decision.

Surprisingly.

Just go already.

Drive carefully.

Yeah, yeah.

When I was a little girl, I
always dreamed about becoming a sea man.

So you were weird already back then.

Well, luckily you didn’t become one.

So I can keep you here on land.

Listen, I was offered a short substitute
position at a clinic in Tampere.

I thought I’d take it.

In Tampere?

It’s only for half a year.

It would really come in handy.

Actually, it’s really lucky
they called me.

What happens to us then?

What do I do here?

It’s only half a year.

Of course I'll come here
every single free day.

Besides, you have your own studies.

Then in summer, we can be
together all day long again.

In the fall, I can try to
find a job closer to here.

You could try to see things
from my perspective for once Stigu.

In half a year, you’ll find
yourself a new, healthy man.

You don’t know me at all.

Hello!

Hello!

What brought you here?

Did you come with a moving load?

Be quiet and make some coffee.

The coffee is already poured.

What else is new in your peaceful life?

Scarcity and tightening belts?

Why do you think that?

I don’t have to guess.

I happen to know that Erkki has been hit with back taxes for the
first year, advance taxes for the coming year, and who knows what else.

Even employees have been laid off.

Well, these are tight times,
but I think we’ll manage.

Let me give you some brotherly advice.

Don’t stick your spoon too deep into that soup, nothing good
will come of it. The worst is yet to come.

Such uplifting prophecy once again.

Tell me, what exactly is going
on with you and Laila Heikkinen?

Who?

Don’t try to squirm out of this, I
can smell these things a mile away.

Looks like when you couldn’t get the doctor,
now you’re trying to get a bank manager

Laila Heikkinen and I are just friends.

Well, no denying that she’s
a very pleasant woman.

I don’t see what you’d have against her.

I don’t have anything against her. I just wanted to
know where things stand and how fast they’re moving.

Yeah. Slow and steady wins the
race, as the gentleman says.

Would the gentleman happen to
know where my skis are?

Stig doesn’t seem to be
in the best mood today.

No, he doesn’t.

Is it something serious?

I don’t want to be intrusive.

Just say it if you don’t want to talk.

I’ve decided that next week I’ll be going
to Tampere for six months as a substitute.

Aha.

Then I understand.

I don’t.

Stig is, how should
I say, surely jealous.

Of what? And of whom?

It’s never that rational.

It’s probably just fear
of losing something.

Couldn’t you have waited
just a little longer?

It’s not about the money.

You know that.

This isn’t something that
gets better by waiting.

Rather, it gets worse if
it’s not dealt with.

But still, we should try
to be patient and careful.

Stig isn’t a child.

And he’s not sick either.

He’s a grown man and my husband.

I’m not with him out of pity.

I’m sorry.

I’m just starting to
lose my patience too.

Well, that’s completely understandable.

You’re only human too.

But you’re so much stronger than Stig.

You have to remember that, Eeva.

Stig isn’t made of glass either.

You're only coming now?

I’ve been waiting for you all evening.

Honey.

You’re completely drunk.

I can smell it from here.

I ate.

Flambéed garlic.

In a restaurant.

Now go to bed. Tomorrow, you’ll play
an hour of tennis with me.

Honey.

You have to run too.

Catch it.
- Catch it...

It’s an easy one.

Watch the ball.

I do, I do.

Alright. Let’s stop now. I
can't do it anymore.

I’ll go rest.

Okay.

Good. It actually looked
like a game already.

Thanks.

Just try to put a little
more weight into your basic strokes.

Yeah, I know they were a bit weak.

Bye-bye.

Who was that little hippie?

That’s my tennis coach.

Wha... Oh, I see.

I was wondering how you suddenly
got so good at playing.

Isn’t it good that
your wife has self-direction?

Yeah, but now you need
to stop those lessons.

You’re already playing well enough.

On the condition that you buy
me a fitness machine for home.

Hey, this obsession needs to stop.

You’re completely fanatic.

It’s awful when you just try
to keep yourself in shape.

You have no idea how heavenly it
feels to stay in bed this long.

So wonderful, that it
almost makes me cry.

I've always been a night person.

Optimal time for breakfast is around 3.

In the afternoon.

But I was thinking of going
to look for a job tomorrow.

I can’t just live with your money.

Maybe something small,
light, and temporary.

That would suit me.

It’s strange that you
didn’t go study anything.

Well, I wasn’t interested in
anything when school ended.

Are you interested now?

About something.

I don’t know.

No?

At least nothing where I’d have
to cram stuff into my head.

I hate reading.

Come be our roadie.

You’ve got the build for it.

Have you heard anything from Liisa?

Well, not since she called from Tampere.

How’s she making a living there?

Yeah, I don’t know.

She mentioned some boy’s name.

Oh dear, I just don’t get it.

Should we go bring her home?

Liisa is still so young.

Maybe it’s better that she’s
still finding her place.

So. Are you planning to paint tonight?

Can’t you take at least one evening off?

No, I have to go…

Don’t you worry about Liisa, Mom.

She’ll always manages somehow.

Watch out, watch Tassu!

Annikki's.

Annikki’s own little rascal.

Was Risto mean?

Yeah.

39.

4.

9.
- Dad.

Be quiet now!

16.

Bonus numbers.

26.

12.

Nope, didn’t win again.

Have you ever won?

No.

Then why do you play?

The chances of winning
are so small that…

It’s just wasted money.

Bonus numbers are: 12...

You might get lucky someday.

And 26.

If you won,

what would you do with the millions?

I’d pay off your tax debts.

Well bye.

Yeah, thanks.

Hi. What’s up, girl?

Hi. How are you up
and running this early?

I’ve got a gift for you.

Which hand?

That one.

Bath salts! You’re the best.

Hey, excuse me. I'm ordering,
if you don't mind.

Okay, I have to head to a gig.

I’ll be back in four days, okay?

Drive safe.

You too.

Sorry.

- No problem.

What’ll it be?

The usual.

Is it enough silent treatment yet?

I’ve got something
really unfinished here.

I can’t focus on anything else.

Excuse me, but I also have
my own little thing going on.

Have I somehow underestimated it?

I have a feeling that
you think something like that.

You’ve deliberately misunderstood
me, Stig.

Hello.

Hello, hello.

I went to take care of those animals.

Thanks for that.

They’re starting to be quite a
bit of trouble for you.

Oh, not at all, I do it gladly.

I’ve been thinking that I
should give them up soon.

This can’t go on like this forever.

Yeah, but hasn’t Liisa...

Have we heard anything from our Liisa?

No, nothing.

I really need to start looking at this
life from the perspective of a lonely man.

Come on now.

By the way, I brought you some meat
stew and pies. They’re on the kitchen table.

Thanks, that sounds great.

But Annikki, you don’t have to
worry about me. I’ll manage.

I know, I know.

Alright, good night.

Good night.

And say hello to Antti.

I will!

I’m going to Tampere, Stig.

I’ve already told them I’m
coming, and I’m going.

I want to get to work,
and I want to go there.

When we got married, I decided this
was a partnership between two equal people.

I thought you felt the same way.

I probably have all sorts of flaws.

But let me make one thing clear to you.

When I love, there is no room
for another man in my life.

And I love you just the same as before.

If you don’t believe that, then
there’s nothing I can do.

- Erkki.

Yeah?

I’m thinking of taking a
couple of days off.

I’ll go set up the exhibition.

Of course, you can.

Just tell the guys to take
care of the kiosk meanwhile.

Do you need the van?

What?

Do you need the van?

I’ve got the big painting.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Just tell me to get the junk
out of there before you leave.

Remind me.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, listen.

What?

Riitta told me to say that
Helena has a birthday today.

Really?

Oh...

Good day.

Good day, good day.

You must be the director here.

Well, director and director.

Yeah, we’ve been wondering one thing: why do you keep making snow
with the snow cannon when there’s plenty of natural snow here?

Well, that’s because natural snow
is light and fluffy.

When we make snow with the
cannon, it’s much denser and wetter.

And you just have to let it sit for a couple of days before you can pack
it with a snow groomer, but then it becomes a good and durable base for the slope.

Yeah, yeah.

You’ll have huge electricity
bills coming from here.

Basically, we run the cannon day and night in November and
December, and that creates a huge spike in electricity usage.

And based on that spike, the price of
electricity is set for the entire year.

So it includes electricity for the lifts,
lighting, heating, and all that stuff.

It’s always a cold sweat when
you open the electricity bill.

Well, now I understand
the ticket prices too.

Well, it doesn’t all
come from there, but…

Yeah, but part of it.

Alright.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

You already got away.

Yeah, imagine that.

I’m going to wreck my life now.

Go by the store, grab a bag
of chips, and a liter of coke.

And then turn on the sauna at home.

Oh yeah, it’s your
birthday today, congrats.

Thanks. How did you know?

Well, rumors are going
around the hallways.

Ville Virtanen.

Well hi, what are you doing here?

Happy birthday.

Thank you, darling.

Darling.

So sweet.

How did you remember?

At Turo, Liisa speaking.

Hey.

He’s on a gig.

Well, he should come today.

Or was supposed to come at noon.

Can I send him my regards?

From Kati.

Okay, bye.

Helena, I’ve been thinking about
the usage of slope music.

I understand that not everyone likes it.

What, has Antti complained again?

Well, I guess he’s not
the only one who’s complained.

Well, you could switch it up a bit,
so it’s not always rock music playing.

We could have some classical
music ski evenings sometimes.

Hey, hey, hey, what’s that smell?

What smell? Good Lord.

Look at this!

Well, I’m… Don’t now!

I was just… We could've
scratch off the black part.

Don’t get mad from jokes.

Scratch it yourself!

Hello, Metsola. Hi.

What?

Oh, f*cking hell.

Who’s that?

This is Riitta.

They’re predicting over 30-degree
frost for next week.

And all the groups are
canceling their visits tonight.

Well, there’s nothing we
can do about it.

Hey Riitta, listen...

Has the fall electricity bill come yet?

No?

We’ll talk more tomorrow. Bye.

Bad news.

And slope guys are sitting in the café.

In the warm, and
their pay keeps running.

Meanwhile, the frost is howling outside.

Oh hell's sake with all of this.
