01x06 - Hiekkaa rattaissa

[bunniefuu]

I sanded all the roads. Tell dad
he can drive the tractor in the garage.

I am really in a hurry!
-I will.

Eikka, terve!

How are you and your girls?
-What's here.

Kid's growing up and unemployment
benefit comes steadily.

You haven't found work?
-Where the hell work would come here.

Last month had work,
when K?rkk?inen's house was demolished.

Shouldn't have done that though, when it ended,
then began the damn qualifying period -

and didn't get the benefit.
It was hard for the family.

How else to live off except by
social office's good will.

Yea I know.

But it was at least something. Being on
leisure constantly gets on nerves.

Can you be without drinking if there
was job for you? -Damn sure.

I wouldn't drink otherwise.
But this eternal idleness..

If somebody offered me something then...
Time would go by better too.

What about these...

But I heard you are doing well.

What if I arranged work for you?

From municipality's worksite?
-In a way.

You do have a driving license?
-You ought to know! I do.

There is just one thing...

I will be in big trouble, in case
you start drinking again.

If you arrange me job,
I won't betray you.

We have spent so much time together.

Come work for me as excavator driver.
As a substitute.

Could work even around the clock.

Or at least in two shifts. There is
a lot of work. Do you come? -Why not.

Tomorrow? -Joo. Oolrait.

Jaana, come already. I pour you some coffee,
it's getting cool. -In a minute. -Now!

I'm in a hurry.
I am already late.

May I visit Tampere?
-What's there?

I would visit Eeva.

We agreed at Lepp?vaara,
that I would go and visit her.

When are you going? -Today. I will
also go to health check same time.

Next week I could come along.

We could and see the new apartment.
-It's not ok with Eeva.

Eeva arranged me appointment time.

There are no doctors in Sotkamo?

It's about gynecological check.

I rather go to someone anonymous
than Paavo.

Is there something special now?
-No. Just a routine check.

Oh, scheduled maintenance of 35. -Yes.

Honey, I need to go now.
I am already late.

So you are going already today?
-Yes, or tomorrow.

Hei hei, honey. -I will call you,
after I have spoken with Eeva.

TVH-work site's chief called.
He has job for your machine.

A long-term project.

He gave a number. I told him
that you will call back. -Thanks.

Good that Erkki gets job. But I don't
like that he does it for TVH.

Feels like doing job for enemy.
-The main thing is that there is work.

A trip to work will get shorter too,
if it is that new road construction site.

Can even come and eat lunch at home.
Erkki, there is food here.

I have to go to worksite. -Work doesn't
end, even if you ate. -Moi!

Have coffee? -Pour your own coffee.
You just sit in all day reading.

I am Erkki's automatic answering machine
and I am pensioner nowadays.

Pensioner! You should go and fix the door
of the cowhouse. It must be fixed.

Fresh air and some motion
wouldn't make you die either.

No joo, joo.
But first let's drink coffees.

Go on in.
It'll be fine. -Why not.

Is it possible to adjust the seat? -On the left
there is a switch but it's broken.

I'll go and get screwdriver. -No, I have
a knife. I can push with that.

Perkele, it snapped! -What?
-My knife, perkele!

What do I do now? I can't survive
without a knife. -Take mine.

Perkele, don't give knife like that.
We might become enemies.

Ä?h! I don't believe such things.
-You should believe.

Old veteran.

It's going alright.

Tickets, please.
A ticket, if I may bother.

Sorry. I was in my thoughts.

Tampere eh? Madam has to switch the train
at Pieks?m?ki. -Thank you.

Shaill I put there? -Joo.

I have a meeting with TVL.
The digging is going well.

Go ahead, I'll be fine.

Erkki! Thanks!

So you can start in beginning
of April? -Joo.

We are now working in two shifts.

Municipality's worksite takes
couple weeks still.

In the beginning April we can
move to your site. -Good.

Let's return to that gravel job later.
-Joo.

Thanks to you. -Terve.

Well? What?

Useless to try, it won't start up,
says Eino. -How come?

I was just going to call you. The oil
pressure vanished. Something's shitted.

Oh hell! What did you do?

I was just digging and suddenly
everything lost. -Joo joo!

-Is it acting up again? This is not going
anywhere! -Don't proclaim! I'll handle it.

Is it serious defect? -Don't stay
to wait. This will take awhile.

It will need a repairman.

Do you any temporary work for awhile?
-There is nothing here.

This is critical situation.
The works can't proceed if...

When can you promise?

3-5 weeks? That's criminal!

Ok, we are in the woods, but at least
in Finland, not on the North Pole.

Well then.

Can't help it.

It wasn't my fault.
-Was or not.

It's broken and repairmen can't come.
You are waiting in vain.

It's the end now.

Is it going to proceed or should
I get someone else to do it?

I told you I'll handle this!

Moi! -Terve!

I'll take your bag.

I booked a time from professor
instantly in the morning. -Good.

You can stay at my place, but
if you want to be more comfortable -

I booked you a room from a hotel.
-Kiitos.

I guess you didn't tell Risto and Raija?
-Of course not.

Would you have time to spend evening
with me? -Sure.

Wife owns 25% of the shares.

Good day. -P?iv??.

Sorry that we have already ordered.
You are eating too? -Yes, thanks.

I have just got the financing in order.

The capital stock is 400 000.

The firm gets 700 000 marks of bank loan.

We can pay 1,100,000 instantly in cash.

The rest 900,000 will be paid as bonds,
as we agreed.

I'm sorry but some problems
have come up. -What sort?

Messurakentajat increased their offer.
-Then?

I hope you understand,
that from my lifework I want -

the best possible price.

How much more?

A lot: 300,000. -300,000!
-Yes.

In that case I need to give up.

I can't get 300,000 marks more anywhere.

That's what I was expecting.

We have worked together for 20 years.

We decided together with wife,
that 200,000 more would be enough.

We will accept your offer,
if you add 200,000 to it. -200,000!

So we will give you a compensation
or discount worth of 100,000 marks.

But you need to decide soon,
already today.

That's really difficult.

Just a moment, I'll make a phone call.

I didn't know that they increased
the offer. -Be quiet.

You cannot do this to Risto!

Bisnes is bisnes.
Don't mess this up.

Can I make phone call to Sotkamo?

Can I talk to Jaakko J?rvenheimo.
Thank you.

Sorry...

I had a discussion with bank manager,
but we cannot decide here and now.

I need hold a meeting at workplace.
-It's a pity.

I would have preferred to sell to you,
but money is important to me too.

Cannot you compromise?
We are old friends.

You know that this is
very important to me.

Yes I do, but Messurakentajat
is pressing for decision...

I don't want to lose 300,000...

It cannot be a matter of few days.

Well, I can of course...

I am going on a business trip.

I could say that due to conflicts...
-That's great!

Let's agree that same time
next week, same place.

Provided that you get that 200,000.
-Of course. This is clear.

Thanks. Thank you a lot!
-You're welcome. We are old colleagues.

N?kemiin. -N?kemiin.

Well? What is wrong now?
-Everything is going to hell again!

The anger doesn't decrease if you don't eat.

Thanks.

Eino called and asked you.

I have no time to play social office.

I have enough of own business.

What is troubling Erkki,
he is so angry?

Vanhanen's Eino called again.

Promised to call again later.

Can I talk to sales director. Thanks.

So he did call?

Erkki Metsola from Hoikka village's
Lepp?vaara, good day.

I visited you in September.

Then you had a L?nnen 216 -excavator
for sale.

Is it still for sale?

I see.

Niin.

The price is still...?

Terve. Good god!
That's a pretty dress!

You like? I bought it just for tonight.
-I didn't know to prepare.

It's alright.
I just like to look good.

Still tonight. -Come on now!
Everything will be alright.

Now let's party. -Ok. Can I leave
my coat here? -Go ahead.

Waitress! May I get some light?

Let's take one more. -At least!

Jaana! You have an examination tomorrow.
-Waitress, another alikes.

That man has been looking at you all night.
-Who?

That one with the bow.

JAANA: He looks nice.
-Tampere is full of them.

Shall we go to dance? -Me?

Maybe later.

May I offer a drink?

Why not. -That's nice. Waitress!

Sorry I'm late. I overslept.
-Not much. What time it is?

Half past five.
("Half six" literally in Finnish)

Mom, my digger broke.
Oils flew out.

Repairmen can't come until month later.

They are serciving tractors for spring.

Can't you fix it yourself?
-I don't know how to.

It is that bad.

I promised to finish the job at site.

It is not your fault,
if machine stops working.

Well no.

But I have made a promise.

I have also the gig for TVL.
I wouldn't like to lose that.

What have you thought?
-To buy a new one.

Old is old and can't trust it.

Doesn't it cost a lot?
Where do you get the money?

It can be arranged.
I just need more guarantees.

You... Promised to continue
grandma's guarantee.

Yes...
But isn't this different thing?

It may not happen that me and dad
would have to pay. -No...

I will ask a new loan from bank
for the new machine.

Bank manager will ask for guarantee.

It would be just temporary.

I do have grandma's legacy and
the old machine. What do you think?

I can't decide it alone.
Have to talk with dad.

J?rvenheimo!

Did you recall you medicine? -If I don't
recall, then the pump (heart) will.

Did you took it then?

What?
I took, I took.

Well...

What do you think of Erkki's new machine?

Should we participate in that?
-We have bought so much.

If Erkki needs it.
-So does many others.

New tires for tractor and I was
thinking new chainsaw as well.

What would you do with that?
You won't go to forest anymore.

Well, but I just would like to.
-Don't act like a beggar again.

Should we help Erkki?
-We have helped already.

If things go bad, "hammerguys"
come and take our land and cows.

Then no need to act beggar,
then we are such for real.

How are we going to pay everything,
if Erkki begins to drink again?

Due to inheritance tax we can't
buy a new milk tank either.

How to help others,
when can't help yourself.

Boy has had good start up. There is
work and bills are paid.

Now should just come over the troubles.

He should fix his machine.
Hunger grows while eating.

At Kannas we had only threshers.
Digging was done with shovels.

Today everything needs to be
so sophisticated.

We just take a sample,
there is no need to be afraid.

We will give you a local anesthesia.
You won't feel it and it leaves no mark.

Pathologist will examine the sample.

I hope we can come up with the result
tomorrow already.

You can go home now and call
me tomorrow at 17.

Do you suppose it is cancer?

We don't suppose anything.
Tomorrow we know.

Nurse will guide you. Bye.

Hi. Was that our bank manager,
the one who just left? -Yes.

Went to Kajaani for a meeting.
-Oh damn!

I would have had important business.

Well, can't help it.
I'll pay the old gas bill.

Have you seen Eino?

Was here in the morning, quite "beered".

570 marks.

Haven't seen you in long time.

Here.
I've been busy. Sori.

Your dad's coming.

Repairmen asked you.
I showed them how to get to worksite.

How long ago was it?

They came right after you had left.
-What a coincidence.

I guess nothing but get going.

Let's meet one day. Moi.

You had to come after four weeks.
-That's what they said in the office?

For us they said that this is
seriously urgent case.

We decided to stop by as this was along the
way to north. One more hour and it's fixed.

-We did a little emergency fix,
so you can continue working.

Next week you will get an adapter.
You can install it yourself.

So I can continue working already today?
-Just wait about an hour.

Well then I will go and get my buddy.

We are doing alright.
Bill comes later. -Of course!

Didn't expect to see you.

How did you dare to come here?
-Have you seen Eikka?

He is pissing.

Terve! -You promised not to take.

Machine broke. You said,
it's the end. -It's fixed.

I came to get you work,
but you can't in that condition.

Yes I come!
-Pull yourself together.

Come tomorrow after three.
I'll handle the morning shift.

Remember what you promised.
-I will come. Tomorrow at three.

Now go home.
Riitta is worried too.

Did you go there? -I did. Remember:
tomorrow at three. -Alright.

Erkki! Kiitos!

Go on the table.
I get us something to eat.

Anteeks... -Jaana!
What are doing at Tampere?

I... I'm handling Jaakko's business.
What about you?

Please join, both of you.
-I'm doing an interview. -Go on.

I have business.

Come and stop by next time.
-I'll try. Bye.

Why you shouted? It was Risto's sister.
-I couldn't know. Sorry.

Yes you couldn't.

This is starting to look good.

Don't t*rture yourself too much.
That is not good either.

Where is your sl*ve? -Haven't seen.
He promised to come though.

I'll take a little break.

You can make it tomorrow too.

I will do this job for you,
as I promised.

That is Eino Vanhanen's tax book.

Hei! I didn't mean it on purpose!

May I talk to professor Senjanen. Thanks.

This is Jaana J?rvenheimo.
I had to call to professor.

The matter is...

Yes.

I am at Tampere.

Vanhanen, now you'll leave,
so I can continue my work!

I want to talk with you.
Come, if you dare!

You are drunk. I won't talk
with you. -b*stard!

You only think of yourself!
You know what you have done to me?

I tried to arrange you work,
but you damn sh*t screwed up!

I have to live two weeks
without unemployment benefits -

as the qualifying period restarts.

Satan! I will show you!
-Your own fault!

And now you should leave,
so I can continue my work.

You become a lord,
when you got that gadget.

I will stab bloods out of you!

Put the knife away.

Is the boy scared?
-Don't wound yourself.

Put away that knife! -Saatana,
you don't f*ck with me! Perkele!

Vanhanen, now you don't ask me anything!
Not work and nothing else!

Damnation, I would fancy to beat you!

But don't care to hit such sh*t even!

You start to threated a buddy?

You are a real humorist, Vanhanen.

(Phone.)

J?rvenheimo. Hei.

I was just about to go to station
to wait you. You are still there?

I cannot come home in a few days.

I need to go to hospital.

No, it's nothing serious.

Just a little beauty surgery...

It is not true, Jaakko.

I have a mammary carcinoma.

I'll have an operation tomorrow morning.

I'll go to hospital tonight.

You may not come.

No! I don't want to!

You have Eeva.
She will hold your hand.

Stop that moaning!
I have the cancer, not you!

And I'm not going to die.

I will live at least as old as grandma.

Joo. I will call.

I have to stop now.

I have to go.

So I do you.

Don't tell anybody. Promise?

Hei.

Can I help you?
-I am Jaana J?rvenheimo.

You are professor Senjanen's private patient.

This is your bed.
The operation is first in the morning.

Change your clothes in peace.

I will then come and give you an injection.

Oh hell!
