:29:02
Sir, I owe you an apology.
:29:05
I crave your forgiveness for my mistake.
:29:07
There is no need, sir.
:29:09
I took pleasure in earning that thaler.
:29:11
I keep it for good luck.
:29:13
I am really mortified.
:29:15
Of course, sir.
:29:17
It was the fault of my old coat.
:29:19
I hope that you will permit me
a less superficial acquaintance with you.

:29:23
Will you favor me with your company
at supper?

:29:25
Gladly.
:29:26
- Lf I may be your host.
- No.

:29:30
It must be my privilege to entertain you.
:29:32
Besides, you come from a country
that is close to my heart.

:29:36
- You know Spain?
- Somewhat.

:29:37
I shall like news of your countrymen.
:29:40
- My countrymen?
- Yes, I shall like news of Velázquez.

:29:43
Has he painted any new works recently?
:29:45
What of Calderón?
:29:46
He writes plays so quickly,
there must be new ones.

:29:49
When were you last in Spain?
:29:51
I have never been there,
only in my thoughts.

:29:54
How wonderful.
:29:55
You are a find indeed.
:29:57
Landlord, come here.
:29:59
This gentleman will sup with me.
:30:01
Do your best,
and bring something to drink at once.

:30:03
Yes, right away, My Lord.
:30:05
You don't know what this means to me.
:30:07
Have you ever traveled?
Have you ever been far from home?

:30:10
Have you ever been homesick?
:30:13
I have never been out of Sweden.
:30:15
Then you don't know
what it is to be homesick.

:30:17
You don't know what it means
to feel that sense of loss.

:30:20
The pain of nostalgia.
:30:23
One can feel nostalgia for places
one has never seen.

:30:28
Yes, that's quite true.
:30:30
Young man, that is the second time
I have underestimated you.

:30:33
My Lords.
:30:37
The foreigner,
he promised 15 thalers for a bed.

:30:40
When did I ever let slip 15 thalers?
:30:42
To the kitchen!
:30:44
Imagine, in this icecap,
finding someone who knows Spain.

:30:49
You understand I admire your country.
:30:52
It's rugged and strong and impressive.
:30:54
It has all the virile qualities.
:30:56
And from all your northern fastness here,
the Viking spirit has dominated Europe.
