We’ll be singing your favorite hymn this morning. Open
My Eyes Lord.
Open my eyes, Lord, I want to see Jesus...
That you will, Vilborg, my dear - someday - and that’s
for sure!
Well, we’ll miss you both - but 1 hope you’ll feel like coming
to the Olson’s for coffee in the afternoon. Their twins will be
christened at the service, you know.
The Intruder grabs Borga’s upper arm to make her hurry up.
Yes - uh - thank you for reminding us - but I’m sorry - we’ll
be rather tied up and - and - won’t make it. I must go now...
Take care - and Ingolfur, too. Bye for now and I’ll be in
touch.
And soon, I hope - bye, bye.
What was that all about? I got stinkin' tired holdin' the phone
to yer ear, ya know! I take it he’s not cornin’?
I’m - I’m not sure. Why don’t you believe us and leave us
alone?
I was jes’ noticin’ yer barn out there, eh?
You know what? You’re an intruder and you'll soon be a thief.
Do you want to be like the thief on the left and be damned
eternally?
Who cares?! Ya know - yer not gonna tell me a thing, but I’ve
got all day. (exiting kitchen to go upstairs) And I’m sure I’ll
find what I’m lookin’ fer up here!
(whispering) Ingi? Do you think he’ll want to go into the
barn?
I don’t know. He’s got a knife, y’know. I sure don’t wanna
provoke him. ... Don’t talk so much, Borga mm!
I’d sure like to have a cup of coffee! Maybe, he’ll want one
too.
(whining) I’m awful weary of sitting like this - wish he had
tied us into our beds...
(rather jokingly) W-e-11 - we’d be more comfortable and
that’s for sure! I wonder where he comes from - probably not
from ‘round here - but I’m not about to ask any questions! I
just want him to get on his way. (twisting his wrists and
trying to loosen rope) If I could get my hands loose, we
could phone the RCMR
(whimpering) Oh - why is this happening to us?
I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid!
