GRETE HAALAND
to Lauritz ( ) Grandmother’s warrior. You were so strong at the funeral. ELLE I hate funerals and the pencil pushers that destroy the world. GRETE HAALAND The Haalands have always been old- timers. Peer is just jealous that Conrad was the one blessed with love. ELLE Why have you told me so little about the Skums? GRETE HAALAND It's the name of your biological mother and father. ELLE So Peer is right? I should use Skum instead of Haaland? GRETE HAALAND Do you really want to know who you'd be as Elle-Margret Skum? ELLE Yes! GRETE HAALAND You would live in a house without running water. You would be poor and you would have at least five kids. All with different fathers. ELLE No, never!
Lauritz watches on.
GRETE HAALAND Your biological parents were pitiful bastards. ELLE I’m there for flesh and blood. Elle checks her purse. Fills her weapon magazine with six 9mm rounds.
