I've made the first sketches of the kitchen.
But I did promise them no changes.
What happened to John Henry the businessman?
[Theme music playing] [Running footsteps] [Sighs] [Sighs] Ja.
Ja, ja.
[Scoffs] [Knock on door] What did you say, John Henry?
Just how much we love the room, dear.
Yes, indeed.
Herr Madsen has offered to let us borrow his car.
Oh.
Thank you, Mr.
Madsen.
How kind of you.
[Door closes] Shouldn't we tell the guests about your plans for the hotel?
Why?
Well, we promised them no changes.
Mmm.
You did.
I didn't, John Henry.
[Closes cigarette case] They are just as sentimental about this place as you are.
Let it be a surprise for them if they come back next year.
Why do you say "if"?
I hope they come.
It's very important to me that they're happy.
Of course, dear, yes.
[Scoffs] [Sighs] [All singing] [Singing alone] [Door closes] [Door closes] [Rings] Uh... Ja.
[Distant shouting] [Click] [Door closes] [Chickens clucking] [Distant dog barking] [Sighs] [Rooster crowing outside] [Doorknob turning] Here, here.
[Unlocks, opens door] [Sea gulls crying] [Door closes] [Sighs] [Sighs] Ellinor: What took you so long?
I thought you were just returning the car key.
It's true!
What is?
You thought you could keep it a secret, but the maids have seen your drawings.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Madsen just told me.
Did they now?
And this one, too, Ellinor, an annex?
Well, that's even new to me!
The drawing isn't finished.
It won't work.
I'm sorry.
I promised.
John Henry.
Please, not this again.
[Scoffs] If we want people from the outside to come to the restaurant, they need a place to stay over.
Ellinor, I'm sure the regulars won't like it.
Oh, the regulars.
The regulars!
The only thing that matters to you is keeping the regulars happy!
What about keeping your wife happy, just for once?
You sound exactly like Daddy!
Just when I see an opportunity!
That's not true, Ellinor.
Yes, it is, and you know it!
[Sighs] If we're going to make such big changes, at least we have to tell them.
If you say so.
I do.
All right, then.
You might just as well include the other plans.
"Other plans"?
What other plans?
[Turns off water] [Sighs] [Sighs] [Knock on door, door opens] [Door slams loudly] Heh!
[Chuckles] [Chuckles] [Knock on door] [Door opens] [Telephone rings] [Coughs] [Birds chirping outside] [Door opens, closes] [Sighs] Oh!
The annex is too small.
We need to talk, Ellinor.
Hmm.
Mr.
Madsen is right.
Tsk.
Oh, Mr.
Madsen.
What is he right about this time?
It's just too expensive rebuilding this old house.
It's like throwing good money after bad.
I don't agree, John Henry, not at all.
Mr.
Madsen and I tried making a budget.
[Sighs] The hotel would run with a loss for the next ten years.
[Inhales sharply] All right.
All right.
[Sniffs] Tell me this.
Why did I come?
Why did I leave Daddy?
He could die alone at home while I'm here at this horrible place.
I only came along because I thought we were looking at a property together, but now you just bought this old, rundown hotel without even seeing it, and now I'm trying to make the necessary improvements and you won't let me because it's too expensive.
You know, I can make this a business.
But of course, it's more important what Mr.
Madsen thinks.
[Exhales sharply] Ellinor, dear-- Don't touch me!
I'm going home.
You can stay here if you want to.
Don't be foolish.
[Unlatches suitcase] Ellinor, please.
If the house is so bad, you know, there is another way.
I hope you don't mean-- Why not?
Well, that's totally out of the question.
[Sniffs] [Paper rustling] [Sea gulls crying] [Brisk knock on door] [Knock on door] [Door closes] [Sighs heavily] [Pub music playing] Ha ha!
Oh!
[Door slams] [Piano playing "If You Want the Rainbow"] What does it matter If the rain comes your way And raindrops patter all day?
The rain descending should not make you blue The happy ending Is waiting for you Take your share of trouble Face it and don't complain If you want the rainbow You must have the rain Happiness comes double After a little pain If you want the rainbow You must have the rain What if your love affair should break up As they sometimes will?
When you kiss and make up Ooh, what a thrill Sadness ends in gladness Showers are not in vain So if you want the rainbow You must have The rain [Sighs] [Doorbell rings] [Footsteps approach] [Chuckles] [Sea gulls crying] Hmm.
