CHRISTIAN:
A couple of months ago when Linda died, I realised that my father was
a very clean man. I thought this is something I want to share with the
rest of my family. I want you to know this about my father. I thought you
need to know that.
[A slight pause.]
Helge is a very clean man. A very clean man, my father.
[A slight pause.]
Anyway, were here to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Just think what its
like to live a long life. To see your children grow up. Your grandchildren
grow up.
Enough of all that youre not here to hear me talk all night. Were here
to celebrate and I think we should do that. Thanks for all the good years.
Congratulations. Happy Birthday.
