"So you are trying to find a job?"

"Yes"

"Finally"

Shrug.

"Where?"

"I don't know"

"You must have something in mind"

"A bunch of places"

"Like where?"

"Could be here. Could be Scotland. Zurich. States. Scandinavia"

"You are trying to find a job in all these places?"

"In any of these places"

"Will they give you one?"

"Who knows? I can just stay where I am if that is what you want"

"Where in Scandinavia?"

"Its not that big a place"

"Are you going to Norway?"

"Maybe"

"Then I will move with you"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"I was actually thinking maybe not with all this child services stuff"

"It isn't better in Bamse land"

"True"

"So I am thinking we make the most of it"

"Get monkey to grow up in foster care?"

"We will make it come back to its grandparents here before action starts"

"Oh like that. Then it will be entertaining with just us and courts and everything. But we have to plan properly"

"Of course. I think there is 1 nos bestseller book and 1 nos blockbuster film to be made in this racket"

"Don't be silly. We will do nothing of the sort"

"Then what's the point?"

"I was thinking we can write a 21st century version of you know...."

"No, I don't know"

"The Trial"

"Right"

"No?"

"What use would that be?"

"Why should anything ever be useful?"

"Useful pays the bills"

"How did you become so boring?"

"Years of being the only useful person in this family does that to you"

"Better you than me, I suppose"

"As always, darling"
