INT. CLASSROOM - DAY Lauritz sits in the front row. The teacher writes some English adjectives on the blackboard. Lauritz studies his classmates. The girls are dressed in hand-me-down rags. The boys are all in the back rows, whispering amongst one another. TEACHER Mr Lauritz Hansen. Could you please stand up? Lauritz stands up. Everyone looks at him. TEACHER (cont'd)

Lauritz is our new student. How are you? Could you introduce yourself in English, please? LAURITZ Good morning. My name is Lauritz Hansen. I have moved here from the capital.
Kids laugh. Someone throws a pen at Lauritz while the teacher writes his name on the blackboard in big block letters. TEACHER Could you say something about yourself? Why did you leave the capital? Lauritz looks around. The girls giggle and point at his tourist clothes. LAURITZ
Well. My mother is a secret police agent. We have come here on a secret mission to catch some bad boys.
The whole classroom explodes with laughter. TEACHER smiling ( )
Thank you for your excellent presentation. Your English is splendid! Please sit down, Mr Hansen.
Lauritz bows and smiles at his classmates before he sits down. More trash rains over him as soon as the teacher turns her back.
