Hurry up, teacher hurry

St.Mary looks nice and gentle
I think my mother looked like St.Mary
I think so
My mother did too
All right
Be quiet, everybody
Yes
Teacher, this picture was painted by Rubens, wasn't it
Yes, it was
I know a painter who is just like
No who is much better than Rubens
Really
Who is the painter
Where is the painter
Who is it and where is he
It's a secret
Oh, Come on tell us, please
Let me see it
Please, Nello, let me see it
No, Alois
It's not finished yet
Nello is so stingy
Just a glance, please Not yet
No Just a glance
Nello I say not yet
Nello
I'm sorry, Patrash
Look! How funny
Patrash is stunned
Patrash is mad at me
Angry
Yes, he is
Wah! Nello has drawn me
It's so fun
Can I have it, Nello
Yes, sure
Thank you
It'll be my treasure
What are you doing here, Alois
Hello, Mr. Cojez
Papa
Alois, it's getting dark
You are supposed to come home
This is not time
for a good girl to be outside
I'm sorry
but look Nello has drawn a picture for me
Look, papa
Nello is very good at...
A picture
Are you always doing this foolish thing
Papa
Don't waste time on stupid pictures
Why don't you help your grandpa
instead of wasting your time like this
Papa, Nello is...
Alois you will be quiet
but
Mama is worrying about you
You go home now
Can't you hear me
Yes, Papa
I'll keep this picture
Take it
I buy it from you
You may take it
No, I don't want the money
why not
you sell it, don't you
I didn't draw it to sell
I got it to Alois, and
I don't want money for this
I know what you mean, but
I said I would pay for it
just take this coin
Sir, I have to go back
Let's go, Patrash
What a brad
Grandpa, I'm home
Hi, hello ,Nello
I'm sorry that I'm late
Is there anything I can help
The soup is ready now
Go and wash your hands
Yes
Amazing. it
really looks like Alois
I told you
Yes
Nello is very good at drawing
He is talented
Papa
May I put it on the fireplace
Thank you, papa
Mama Yes, yes
Put it there, put it there
Alois
behave yourself
Sit down and eat the dinner
Yes
Alois
I don't want you
to see Nello again
Why is it
Why can't I see him anymore
There isn't a reason
You are the only child of Cojezs
and
You will be going to a good school for better education
I am not going to a school
Nobody in this village
is going to school
You are different from the other children
I don't like you, Papa
I will not going to a school
I finished the dinner
Darling
You shouldn't have said it that way
When she goes to school
she will learn a new idea
When she has new friend
and better knowledge, she will
Good
Are you ready
Are you all right, Grandpa
It is the usual pain from the old injury
Don't worry about it. Let's go
Blacky, you are on their way again
Blacky, come back
Don't be naughty
Good morning, Mrs. Nulette
Good morning, Nello
Sorry about Blacky

Take care, Nello
Nello
Alois

Have a good day
Nello
George! Paul
Nello, I'll take care of this now
Go and have fun with your friends
Thank you, Grandpa
Let's go, Nello
Saint Mary
Yesterday I made Mr. Cojez angry
but I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't play with Alois
This town hasn't changed a bit
It was five years ago when I was here last
Give me one more glass
What's the matter with you, Nello
What's behind the curtain
What's inside, Nello
There are paintings by Rubens
Two paintings
Rubens
I really want to see the paintings
but I can't
Why not
Why can't you see
I have to pay for that
I have to pay a gold coin to look
A gold coin
it's a lot of money, isn't it, Brother
Yes
Nello, don't think of the painting
What on earth are you doing, Hey
Go, Damn you
Are you going or not
Go
Patrash, what's wrong with you
He has been strange since we went to the town today
Oh, Mr. Hans. How are you doing
Is your grandpa at home
Yes, inside the house
Grandpa
Hello, Mr. Hens
Mr. Jehan, I need this month's rent today
This is it
Mr. Cojez was complaining about it
Be smart
He doesn't want Miss Alois being drawn
You can't even afford a piece of paper
And you drew her on the back of a poster
How impolite of you to do such thing
I wish you would stay away from her
Mr. Cojez knows that
I am renting you this house
Please remember that
This is the rent, Mr. Hans
Paying always with small bills
Nello, I hope you understand what I am talking about
Nello
You keep drawing
no matter what they said
but
Don't worry about anything
I'm sure Alois
likes your drawings, too
Grandpa
It's strange...What's wrong with Alois
Nello
Will you please take me the town
with you, please
You want to go to the town Yes
Papa is gone for business in the morning
and Mama told me to play outside with you
Sorry for bothering you
Please take Alois
to the town
No problem
I'm sure Nello and Patrash
will enjoy the new company
Thank you very much
Well, Alois
please listen to Mr. Jehan
Yes
Well, let's hit the road See you later, Mrs. Cojez
Have fun and be careful
Nello, are we going to the market
if so
there I like to buy some strawberry candy
It has been a while since we went to
Antwerp together last time
I think we were there together on the festival last year
Where do I want to go
I have bought what I want to buy
I want to go to high ground for scenery with George too
Yes, we will go to the places
where you want to
Oh! It's beautiful
Alois, It's dangerous
Pretty flowers
Every spring
these flowers come out like this
You don't see it as you rides the coach
I didn't know that
Nello, we'll be ahead
Yes
That's right
What's the matter, Nello
This is the spot
where Patrash was lying
Oh! Nello, you are saying that
you found Patrash here
Yes, red flowers were there
just like this
It was a terrible man who had Patrash
He didn't even give him water
and made him work so hard for him
Get up, Patrash
You are no use
Go now
I didn't know that
Patrash had such terrible days
before he knowing you
Patrash, come
drink some water
Patrash is so lucky
as Nello rescued him
Patrash
It's here
Patrash, please wait here for us
Hello, uncle
Hi, Nello

soon
How do you do
Oh! You have a pretty company with you today
Yes
She is my friend, Alois
Just a moment, Nello
There you go
You got so many
What are these, Nello
Oh, I see
You're going to draw on the back of them
Yes, I asked him to save some used papers
for me
Look at this. It's still a beautiful paper
It's a waste to drop it
You are right
Thank you very much
Sorry
There you go
Thank you
Get moving
Why are you stopping
Patrash. Thank you for waiting
What's the matter with you, Patrash
He is strange
Patrash, are you Patrash

Great to see you again What a coincident, Patrash
Nello, who is he
I am the owner of Patrash this dog
This animal
I raised this dog with care from a puppy
but one day he disappeared
Let's go, Patrash
Wait

That's right. Patrash is Nello's dog
Shut up
Nello

let's get running
Patrash, wait
what's wrong
Nello, we did it very well
he was so upset
he's too bad, brother

never let him have Patrash, all right
Patrash
poor Patrash

Ouch that's kid's name is Nello, isn't it
I know Nello
Do you know him
Patrash

I want my dog back
Nello, listen
what's the matter, Mrs. Noulette
this is terrible
who did it
hey, kid
you really made fun of me
Patrash
It seems you have been using Patrash for a hard labor
like dragging the milk
but it got nothing to do with me anymore now
grandpa
don't worry, Nello
Patrash is yours
and nobody will take him away from you
really
is that true
great
Patrash, you will be all right now
from now on
you will be with us
it's great
Patrash, stop
don't do that
it tickles
Patrash
Alois is carrying hey
yes, Mr Cojez
Jehan is employers
as a worker in the farm
but Nello let Alois
do his job
Nello is really a bad kid
damn
my daughter...
he made my daughter work in the farm
Elina
are you getting ready
for her school
yes, but
but I haven't talked to Alois yet
I'll talk to her about this
send an application as soon as possible
yes
See you later
sorry that I can't go with you, Nello
You are alone, this morning
yes
take care
are you all right
yes, I'm
Mother Mary
please make my grandpa better
you're right
Alois
Nello
It must be an uniform of a school
you really look good in it
This new uniform will get dirt
that's all right
I don't care about this uniform
Alois
Nello, I told you before
I wish I didn't go to school
didn't I
papa and mama told me that
it would be fun
to go to school
and it's good for me to go
you also said that, but
I don't think it is true
Papa wants me in school
just because he doesn't want me to see you
I can't see you
as I have to stay in the school
until late afternoon
Not only that papa puts me in a knitting class after school
he wants me to write diary every day
I can't see Patrash either
Alois
the school has just started
It will change soon
Alois
it doesn't sound like you
but
you can see Patrash and me
on the weekends
Please cheer up, Alois
Alois, you makes Patrash and I worry
if you look so sad
I'm sorry, Nello
You must feel more lonely
I guess I shouldn't complain
I have to go now
see you soon, Patrash
Nello
brother, there are many people
something is written there
brother, I can't see it
even if we see it, we can't read it
it's difficult, I see
excuse me
what does it say
there will be a contest of painting since we have great paintings by Rubens
a contest of drawing
anyone can participate it
yes, anyone under eighteen years old
if you win the contest
you'll get 200 Francs
and
have a free ticket to Art school
that sounds great
Nello, you'll win for sure
you will win
mama, I want to be in the contest
he won't win the contest
Nello, will you try
will you try
yes, I will try
if I win
I'll be able to learn in school, Patrash
if that happens
I'll be going to school in Antwerp
with Alois
but
the panel
will be very expensive
grandpa, I'm home
Nello
Hello, Mr. Hans
I can't wait any longer
you begged me
to wait last month too
I'll go and wash the milk cans
you only paid me
a half last month
and it happens again now
If this will go on
you will have to move out
from the house
grandpa
Nello, don't worry
Patrash
I mean you spent the money for Patrash
right
I'm sorry, grandpa
I didn't know anything
I didn't know that you had to pay
that man all money you have
Nello, Patrash is watching you
Patrash
Patrash, don't worry
it has nothing to do with you
Nello
hello, Mr.
could you
do me a favor
yes
Nello
where are you going
to the house of Mr. Kiesringel
just a moment, we're coming too
what a big house this is
A son of this house
enters his painting to the contest
it might be a tough competition
Stephan, please come and see it
does it come
I have been waiting for it
bring it in
yes, I'll do it now
here is the money
thank you for bringing it in
look, this is my panel
what happened, it's great
the owner gave it to me for delivering that panel
good for you, Nello
Mr. Aik is that what you wanted
yes, thank you
do it well, please
oh, no
what
Alois and Nello are
yes, that's right
As soon as Jehan walked out
Nello took Miss Alois
into the burn
darling
they are still children
you don't have to worry about that
oh, no
although they are children
you never know
I can't tell
what Nello is thinking about
I'm afraid that a strange rumor will spread
and Miss Alois has a bad reputation
they can't even pay the rent
Nello that kid
I don't like him
Never let Alois see Nello
Never ever again
I'm home
Hi Alois you're back
Hans
thank you
oh, not at all
sure
by the way, I've heard
you have bought something
yes, some clothes for winter
I see, maybe
I'll ask you to
make a jacket for Alois
sure
what is Alois doing
she is crying
it this goes on
she will become sick
why can't she see Nello
Nello is a nice honest boy
if you are concerning about Nello's family situation
and so on...
darling
Elina
I love her very much
I want Alois to become happy
at all means
it got so rough
I'm sorry, Nello

so hard for me

How old will you be, Alois
Nine years old
You are grown up
I remember when you were born
everybody in the village celebrated it
Is that right
Yes, Alois, Please
be a good friend of Nello
forever, O.K
Yes, of course
Please
It's been a while
The morning air is so fresh
and nice
Are you all right, Grandpa
I'm all right
Grandpa, you should go back now
Grandpa
Nello
tell Grandpa
the town is filled with the smell of frits
After people harvest potatoes
there used be a lot of shops in the town
Grandpa
You shouldn't walk too much
Yes, you are right
How about you, Grandpa
I'm fine, don't worry
Go now
Yes, see you later
It's Nello
Stop the car
Hi, Nello

We stopped by to see him
but he was sleeping well
Please say hello to him for us
Yes, and please take care of yourself

Nello, you should have rested today
yes, but I must do this
Nello, please cheer up
tell me if you need some help
you must cheer up
and so do you, Patrash
don't cry now, stupid
grandpa
Nello
I picked it by the bridge
oh, this is cute
but it's not mine
I see
someone in the village
might have dropped it
I'll go and ask
Nello
have you decided what you will draw for the contest
I thought I would draw grandpa and Patrash
but, I can't remember the face of grandpa
when I tried
to remember grandpa's smiling face
tears come up in my eyes
it is like
raining in my head
Nello
It is funny that I can' t remember his face
though I was with him since I was a baby
it's moving
it was fun
I'm glad to see you smiling again
something is wrong
yes
papa was saying that this windmill has something wrong this morning
I'm supposed to give it oil
but I don't know where to
Mr. Cojez
is asking me hard works lately
I guess I should wait for a mechanic
yes, it's better
what is the matter, Patrash
the windmill
my windmill
get water, hurry
hurry, get some water
put out the fire
hurry
there
more water
get more water, hurry
here, water
hurry, hurry, more water
hurry
quickly
give me the water
the storage house is on fire too
my wheat is burning
they are all burnt
we have just harvested it last week
Be careful
why
why did it happen
darling
I found the wings were not turning well
and told Hans to oil the shaft
I can't think of any cause of fire except it was an arson
what should I do now
I'll give the arsonist a good lesson
if I catch him
Nello
what were you doing in the mill in the evening
tell me
I saw you running away from the mill
with the dog
did you start the fire
did you
you started the fire for revenge
I know you hated me because I didn't let Alois see you
is that right, darling
Nello would never do such a thing
I didn't
I didn't start the fire
then
what were you doing there
I was with Alois
with Alois
you saw Alois yesterday there
Nello
I don't want to see you again
you will never ever see my daughter again
darling
Nello
I didn't do it
I didn't
I did not start the fire
Nello, I'm sorry
but I don't need you to carry the milk any more
Nello, from tomorrow
I don't need you
Sorry, Nello
Patrash
no
we don't go to the town anymore
darling
we should ask him
to carry the milk
I can't do it
I'm sorry
Nello, please forgive us
I'm sorry, grandpa
I lost my milk delivery job today
what am I going to do now
grandpa
Nello
grandpa
Nello
you are not alone
you still have Alois
George and Paul are always with you
sorry, Nello
though in heaven
grandpa
Nello
paint a good picture
it's done
Patrash, I've finished painting
do you like it, Patrash
grandpa
thank you
It's snowing, Patrash
Let's go, Patrash
Alois, I've finished the painting
what, you want me to wait for the rent
I have waited long enough
for your grandpa's sake
if you can't pay me
I want you to move out
please
by Christmas
I'll pay it
Christmas
will you be able to pay me by Christmas
you don't even have a job
I'll pay it by then for sure
If you can't
you'll move out of the house
Alois
those are the cookies that her mama baked
Patrash
we'll be all right by Christmas
In my opinion
this painting is excellent
that's right
I agree with you
Patrash, we'll be there soon
I'll feed you something good today
something good to eat
this child is not yet eighteen years old
but he has expressed great deal
in this religious theme
I think it's not easy
this artist is the winner
but, will you look at
the painting next to it
it's obvious that this artist
had no formal education of painting
if I look at the brush strokes
but
he had depicted this old man and the dog
in the way that everybody
can feel the warm blood
is running inside them
this is a good painting for sure
but I'm not sure
if it comes to the winner
I feel that way too
this painting is almost perfect
and the subject matter is very well
I think the artist of this painting should be the winner
I think Rubens' paintings move people
because they appeal
to people's heart
and that's what I look for in this contest
appealing to people's heart
I understand it, but
we can't just talk about the possibility
from a judge's point of view
it's not enough to be the winner
I want to see a certain level of technique
Patrash, please wait for me here
now comes the announcement
I feel so nervous
I wonder what the result is
will I be the winner
don't worry
I'm so nervous
so nervous
here it comes
Now, we are going to
announce the winner
of the Rubens Picture Contest
after he careful deliberation
of the five judges
the winner is chosen
Mr. Kiesringel
it's great
congratulation
It is wonderful
great
you did it very well
yea, very good
no wonder you are the winner
that's true
it's so good
great
wonderful
congratulation
so wonderful
you are good, Stephan
it's true indeed
congratulation
let's go have a party for Stephan
come
let's celebrate
all right
hurry, let's go have a party
let's go
grandpa, what am I ...
we are too late
brother
is that Nello's picture
shut up
sorry
thank you, Patrash
Patrash, I'm sorry
that I couldn't feed you
Patrash
what's the matter Ptrash
Look, a lot of money
Hurry up, Hans
yes, yes
mama, if they don't find the money
what will happen to us
this..
I don't know
but we'll have to sell this house
and the land
have to sell this house
Papa finally borrowed it
from the bank
as he was going to pay to those people
whose clops have been burnt
and he's thinking of rebuild a new windmill
the money is very important
Nello
Alois
I think this belongs to Mr. Cojez
Is this Papa's
mama, come and see it
it's papa's bag
Nello, come in
Patrash, come in
what's the matter
mama, look
when we are walking by the cave
Patrash found it beneath the snow
great
this is the important bag that
my husband lost
is that right
good
thank you, Nello
thank you
you have rescued my family
oh, you are so cold
I'll get you a hot soup now
come here, Patrash
poor Patrash
he must be very tired
Nello
we haven't seen each other for a long time
Nello
Alois
I have to tell you
I have something to tell you
don't say anything, I went to see it
Alois
I went there today
but Nello
don't say anything, I went to see it
don't be disappointed just because of that
Alois
You like Patrash, Alois
of course
good
Patrash is very hungry
I'll feed him a huge meat like this tonight
wait for it, Patrash
mama
I'm sorry, Patrash
be happy with Alois
thank you for waiting
where is Nello
Patrash, it's your dinner
this is it
I'm bankrupted
this is
my money
this is my money
Patrash has found it
and Nello brought it here
Nello
yes
Nell sent it back for you
He could have used a coin
to buy food for himself and Patrash
but he didn't touch any of it
I...
I misunderstood Nello
I'm sorry, Nello
Patrash
what's the matter
Patrash
where are you going, Alois
I'm going
I'm going to Nello's house
it's dangerous in this snow
but
I'll go and see
you will stay home, Alois
please get inside
George, Paul
This is Mr. Aik
I'm a painter in Antwerp
my name is Aik
I was a judge of the picture contest
I believed that Nello's painting
is the best
I come here today in hope of
helping him learn in school
and develop his talent
Where has Nello gone
he wasn't at home either
it's strange that
the house is really cleaned up
what is it, Hans
ehh..
tell me, Hans
Nello couldn't pay
the rent for a while
so I told him to move out by Christmas
what. .what did you say
how could you do that
I mean..
damn
this is
Rubens' paintings
I finally get to see the paintings
I finally see them
Mother Mary
now...
I feel I have no regret
Patrash
take care of Nello
Patrash
you come to me
thank you
yes, I know
we are
always together
look at that
Patrash
This is the painting by Rubens that I wanted to look
and I finally saw it
Patrash
I am
very happy now
yes, you are tired, aren't you
so am I
grandpa, I'm sorry
I want to rest now
Patrash
let's have a rest now together
Nello
Alois
George, you are late
I'm sorry
Paul has just come back
Paul
it has been a long time
Mr. Cojez gave me a day off
because the windmill is not busy now
is that so
my mama and papa are all right
yes
they want you to come and see them
Mr. Cojez worries that
you are working hard in the nunnery
with those painful memories
he really worries about you
I'm very busy with the children
I have no time for memories
sister, come
hurry, sister
let's go to the market
hurry
I'm very happy
to see them smiling
is that so
all right, we'll take care of them today
those angels
right, brother
I'll take them to the harbor and put them on my ship
oh, they will love It
let's go now
let's go
Alois
I'm always by your side
Nello
I am awaken without reason
It's restless kind of season
I hear the thunder
I hear the raindrops
Then I see rainbows
All rainbow of you
I can remember just like that summer
The summer when I found a friend and you
When I cry I call out your name
I can recall all all that childhood
Like dream that will never die of
I am taking my sorrow
And you bring me to the light
When I cry I call out your name
Just touch me with heaven at my doorstep
To remind me that I won't be alone
Forever as kind if you would remind me
That our love no way will not die
Show your face to me my love
You are the star light
Let me know your home
You are my prayer in this night time
You get strength to my life on
Are you an angel with all of your wonder
Are stars glimmering within the sky
Can you still see me becoming a woman
Can you believe it being such a long time
When I cry I call out your name
The echoes of strangers sound familiar
As if it were you I can hearing
I don't want to follow if it's here I belong
But it is true that I miss your smile
I'll carry your memories throughout my lifetime
To the winters end and to the summer die
I wipe away teardrops
Cus I am stronger than I might know
When I cry it won't be the same
But laughter of a friend
Might hold in your hand
This is what life seems to be telling me
I need to see
When I cry I can be set free
Like journey of rivers to the ocean
It's like we're together for always
There is no denying
I found courage knowing your love
And I see you will always be
The sweetest lover that I had known
The sweetest friendship
You make me strong
