Quotes 

• Frank : From my childhood I can only remember my mother. She used to slap me gently with her big hands before putting me in bath.

  Psykiatri : Did you like it?

  Frank : I don't know. You feel lonely in water, especially if it's cold. It's different if it's warm. Or what do you say? Nothing.

  Psykiatri : You're doing the talking.

  Frank : Couldn't life go on without the wind? It makes everything shiver. All you see are unimportant things. Still we shiver. I wonder why?

  Psykiatri : I am feeling sad, too.

  Frank : We all feel it in our throat. You know, although I'm still young I used to be younger. So did my friends. I call them my friends even though they've rejected me. Already then, we were tormented by fear. They could've used our fear. Telling us: "This is it, we'll bury you!" And so we were afraid to run too fast. What if we'd found ourselves by an open grave, breathless. Breathless, we would've realised that we wouldn't have been able to say anything, no breath. They don't know how to teach one to feel the vibes here. We don't know the rules. It must be the Time. We should get ahead of the Time. Nobody likes me. Everybody scorns me and despises me. They only tolerate me because my parents are fairly rich. I've got myself friends by bribing them with candy and later, alcohol. But they still make fun of me. "Go home Frank, eat your porridge." What should I do?

  Psykiatri : Kill yourself!
