Bastians father is working on some sort of concoction in the kitchen blender, while Bastian sits at the dining table straining to open jelly for his toast. They exchange a good morning between each other, but they are relatively quiet. Father: Morning Bastian Bastian: Morning Dad Bastian continues to struggle with the jar until his hand hurts. His father turns to him and gives him a hand. He seems to easily open the jar. As Bastians father returns to his task of the morning drink concoction Bastian breaks the silence. Bastian: I had another dream Dad, about Mom. His father pauses at the blender, but doesn't look at him and then he continues creating his drink.
