Afraid that Anne's faith
is stronger than Anders,
:43:03
so that Peter
can triumph over us.
:43:07
Inger,
I believe you understand me.
:43:13
When I took over the farm here,
:43:15
there wasn't a grain of living
Christianity in the whole parish.
:43:19
I began one man against them all,
:43:22
in church they thundered against
me, no one was on my side.
:43:28
Here from this farm the fight
was waged all those years,
:43:32
until the farm had won
the victory.
:43:35
And now you ask me to open
the doors of the farm
:43:39
to the sour holy crowd
down by the village pond,
:43:43
who fought against me...
:43:45
No, I'd sooner die first.
Can you understand me, Inger?
:43:53
Yes, granddad,
but I am thinking of Anders.
:43:58
I know Anders.
He's a good boy
:44:03
but he's weak and easily
influenced,
:44:07
and therefore he should
have a wife of his own faith.
:44:12
And he's to give up the girl
he loves.
:44:16
Mind what you say, Mikkel.
:44:19
You misunderstand your father,
Mikkel.
:44:23
Heaven, here he comes.
:44:38
Ah! Anders. Have you been
at the reed bed?
:44:42
No, father, I was at...
:44:45
Yes, yes, from, yes, yes...
:44:52
Congratulations!
:44:56
What is it? Are you bawling?
