Flickering Lights (2000)

Frits Helmuth: Carl

Quotes 

• Peter : Now we've got a real refrigerator.

  Carl : Never mind that. Beers should be cooled in the ground. That's just how it is. It's a question of finding the right depth. If it's too shallow, the frost gets them.

  Peter : You want a hand?

  Carl : No, no. Just wait. You'll be digging plenty of holes. It can take years to find your personal depth.

  Peter : How do you know when you've found it?

  Carl : You can taste it. One day, you'll take one out and taste it, - and it's as if the heavens open up for you. All your sorrows are gone. You're at peace with yourself. You're in a state of joy! Earth-cooled joy.

• Carl : Beers should be cold as earth.
