Review of Erik the Viking (1989) by Esther S — 29 Sep 2007
Sit there.
SNORRI: You can't have Sven's father sitting next to Sven. They'll argue the whole time.
ERIK: That's true.
(to Sven) YOU'D better sit there.
(to Sven's dad) You there, and Ornulf there.
SNORRI: Now you've got all the big ones on one side.
Erik looks around. It is true that all the tall burly ones are on one side.
ERIK: All right, you go there. You here...
Sven's dad and Ornulf swap places.
SVEN'S DAD: Ohh! I wanted to sit next to Leif.
ERIK: Shut up. You there. You there and you there.
Ivar and Ornulf swap places. Erik surveys this re-arrangement.
ERIK: That's better.
SNORRI: Now you've got all the ones with beards on one side and all the moustaches on the other.
This is true. Erik thinks some moments and then:
ERIK: It doesn't matter.
They start to haul the sail up. Ropes are released. The boat rocks. Suddenly a voice cuts through the crowd. It is Erik's mother.
ERIK'S MUM: Wait! Wait! Wait!
