"A MAN LIKE ME" "Let's give our final contestant a warm welcome." "Welcome, Julius." "Thanks." "How are you?" " I'm OK." "Are you nervous?" " No." "Is this your first Blind Date?" "Yes." "Any expectations?" " No." "Number 3, what object would you bring ... to a desert island?" "I don't know, maybe my car." "What kind of car?" "Number 3... what's your longest relationship?" "Three months." "It was a girl that treated me like shit..." "She started seeing another guy ... ..without telling me." "I got home and found a used condom in our bed," "I didn't see it, so the stuff went all over me and....." "We should stop here, thanks a lot no.3." "Let's go to commercials." "Don't tell stories like that." " Like what?" "Like that ex-girlfriend story... it just isn't working." " But it's true." "He's just being honest." "Well it's not working." "Just less honesty." "It's not about that... just answer, have fun and no stories." "Ok?" "Ok, just do it." "I'm choosing number 1 ," " Number 1 ." "I should never have allowed you to talk me... into this stupid shitty show of yours." "What was that?" "Julius?" "Erm, he's just..." "Is he blaming me for this?" "Don't have him on this show." "I didn't put him on the show!" "he asked for it himself." "MAN LIKE ME" "It was really stupid, I felt like a moron." "It's just so silly the girl can't even see the guy she picks." "She must have been disappointed when she... finally saw the guy." "Hello Julius." "Hi." "Listen guys, let's try and get this mail out of the country?" "Let's try a little harder." "Julius go over and get the parcels." "Yes, OK." "Hi Julius." "Hi." "How's it going?" "I'm sorry about this morning, I overslept." "You just need to watch out." "I'm here before you... so I'll clock you in." "Let's just keep it like that." "Yes." "Arnar!" "Yes." "I thought up a new one this morning.." "Really." "What did Postman Pat call himself in his retirement?" "What?" "Pat." "Not very funny." "No." "Are you busy?" "No." "Come to my office... we can surf the internet and stuff." "Listen Julius... go and help out Gudmundur." "Yes, sure." "Ok." "I feel like crashing out for a few hours." "Listen guys, Julius is needed at an.... important meeting in my office." "I've found a great web site." "Sylvester Stallone." "Yeah?" "When he was doing porn." "Really?" "That's how he started." "Have a seat." "Thanks." "She needs to speak Icelandic, yes?" "Can I have some deep fried shrimps?" "OK, I'll get it." "Shrimps for the T.V. star, here you go." "Thanks." "Thanks very much." "These go up there you see." "Yes" "It's the middle shelf." "When will all this be on the internet?" "What's the point?" "Each box is just 200 grams, there's nothing inside." "Do your grandparents live in China?" "Yes." "And are you going to visit?" "Yes." "Ok, that should be good fun." "Yes." "Listen, my birthday is on Saturday." "Your birthday?" "Yes." "How old will you be?" "Seven." "Seven!" "that's a lot." "Can you come to my birthday on Saturday?" "Yes, sure." "But do I need to bring a really big present?" "Yes, this big, really big." "This big?" "OK" "It's little Qi's birthday, and I'm going myself, but I don't know anybody, so can you go with me?" "Yes, when is this?" "It's on Saturday." "It's only between four and five" "What about Borkur?" "Listen Arnar, I've got a new one for you..." "Aha, listen, tell it to Julius and if it's funny, then he can tell it to me." "OK?" "Ok." "I'm going to a kid's birthday on Saturday," "I don't know anybody so I wanted to take somebody with me." "Addi can't make it so I was wondering if you were interested?" "On Saturday?" "Yes." "Listen, you know damn well that the phone directory will be out on Saturday, this place is going to be hell." "Yeah?" "So, a birthday party is well out of the question." "Ok, thanks." "Congratulations." "This is my boyfriend." "Hello, my name is Qi." "So you speak Icelandic?" "Cool, I'm Elin, Julius's sister." "Shall I fry a burger?" "He play's this for everybody." "It's good fun, he enjoys it." "She's very sweet, Julius." "A real knockout." "Yes, don't you think?" "The sisters are three and then little Qi." "Yes, and is the apartment spacious?" "No no, just a one bedroom apartment." "What?" "Really?" "That's very small." "These people are so used to small spaces." "Yes." "They are of course very self-sufficient, the Chinese." "It really doesn't matter whether it's housing..... food, clothes." "What about your place?" "They could move into your place?" "No, just the two Qi's." "Your apartment is nice and large." "Of course, I'll offer them that." "Yes, of course." "That's a fantastic idea." "Is her daughter this sweet?" "Yes, very cute." "Really?" "Yes." "They're all so cute, these people." "Don't you think?" "That one over there please." "Will you behave, children!" "It's ok." "You want coffee, dad?" "Yes please." "Oli, you are the eldest, just stop this." "I've promised pizza if you behave." "Not if this is how you're going to behave." "Stop this now, just look at the Chinese girl she's always so well behaved." "You're like lunatics." "Please relax!" "No no." "I'm going to freak out." "I have to say, she's the best looking girl you've ever had." "Yes." "You can be proud, you've been with.... so many ugly ones." "What's wrong with you?" "Let's change the subject." "I was giving her a compliment." "I can't work here for the rest of my life.." "you can't support a family on these wages" "I mean I have a wife and child." "I just don't wanna be this dude in ...the post office always." "I'm thinking about getting a better job." "Hello, Addi." "Hi, Julius." "I was wondering if...." "I could get my paycheck today?" "I don't hand out paychecks, it just goes straight... into your account." "Simple." "Yes, of course." "It's the 27th today, the first is on Wednesday." "No, no..." "I just thought of it because I thought I was... like express mail!" "You, know.." "like.. fast delivery." "I thought of it this morning." "Listen, good joke, but we are in the middle of a conversation." "Really, should I leave?" "I hope I wasn't interrupting." "No no, Goodbye." "Ok." "So, everything's going well with Qi?" "Yes, marvelous." "Everything just clicked?" "Yes, you know..." "I really want her to be my woman," "I want to spend the rest of my life with her." "I can feel it, and I think she wants it too." "What do you mean?" "I'll ask her to marry me." "And she's okay about that?" "Does she know?" "No, I haven't asked her yet, it's a surprise..." "This is great news." "Yes of course, I can pay you now." "Give you a little bonus." "That wouldn't be too bad." "Like, I have to buy the ring." "Of course." "Go on, you're gonna do this?" "No, I don't know." "Don't be stressed." "Do it now, this is the moment." "No, I've gone too fast, it's too much." "Don't say that." "Does she even like me?" "Don't worry about that." "Are you sure?" "Don't ruin this with self-doubt, go for it." "Julius, this is Gunnar." "He's a blue diamond." "Hello." "Not that many have gotten this far..." "Let's set up a meeting, shall we?" "Seriously, shouldn't Julius come to our next meeting?" "Do this now." "Do what?" "It's something fun." "Just do it and don't chicken out.." "Ok" "He just lacks all drive." "He needs a push every now and again." "You don't understand us?" "Don't understand me?" "Is this Qi's sister?" "Hi, are you wearing any knickers?" "Addi, get a grip on yourself." "Sober up!" "She didn't understand, Magga." "I know what I'm gonna say." "I just wanted to say.... but also an engagement party." "Really?" "God, how cool!" "What's wrong?" "Maybe a toast for the couple?" "Let's wait for Qi." "Why did she leave?" "Is she ok?" "I want to ask all of you to leave, please." "Julius, what's going on?" "Maybe... a toast?" "Julius!" "What's the problem?" "Was it something I said?" "It's always something you say." "Hi." "How are you?" "Not so good." "That didn't go too well, did it?" "No, I've moved out..." "I was wondering if I could stay at your place?" "Tonight?" "Well, a few weeks.." "Oh!" "Well, there's not much space," "Maybe Magga's studio, but she uses that" "I'm just asking... because you're my friend." "Yes, yes of course... you can stay at our place, you're welcome." "Ok, thanks." "Have you got a minute?" "Yes." "Come downstairs and have some coffee, we need to go over a few things." "Yes." "Listen Julius." "Yes?" "Magga was thinking about your depression," "Maybe now is the time to start something fresh." "Start making some money, make some changes." "Yes." "I've phoned our apartment," "I've called her mobile, left a message." "I even called her work and she's not working." "She doesn't want to be reached." "Exactly, but he's just going through denial... that's a tough thing." "I know myself, really tough." "I hope I can trust you with this," "I had a guy that treated me like shit for three years." "I had two abortions with this guy." "She could call or answer my messages." "Look, this is fantastic." "Saved our financial status, the pyramid." "What pyramid?" "Health products, we're selling." "What did you say?" "Two abortions?" "Yes and?" "You only told me about one." "Yeah so?" "You say I don't want kids.... and then you've had two abortions, with that idiot!" "This is where it all begins, these are the distributors." "Then the diamonds, here above." "They are fewer, more below them." "Each day I wake up and look.... into the mirror saying I'm fantastic." "I'm the best, each morning." "This house was on the dream-list... this TV was on the dream-list." "It's a sure winner." "The best moment of my life... was when I told my boss I was quitting." "No more bosses!" "I'm my own boss now." "Hi there." "Hi." "You okay?" "Yeah I'm good." "Daddy shot himself last year." "Mom was 180kg." "Really?" "But after she started on Aloha, she's lost 20kg." "Really?" "She's been on it for two months now." "I was there over the weekend, she's got this sailor banging her all night, really doing the old lady." "Oh really?" "My mom is getting herself some serious... action these days." "So the next question is, where do you find happiness?" "I don't sleep, sleep is for losers." "So, this is working for you?" "I pump weights to relax..." "Really?" "Look at me while I speak." "Sorry." "Are you ready to make this decision?" "Yes or..." "Ready for some Aloha-action?" "I think so." "How are things?" "Just fine" "Just fantastic" "He's warming up." "That's good." "Then I'll need a new car" "All in good time, no question about it." "Well, thanks a million, this was fun." "Thank you, nice to have you." "Good luck." "Okay, bye bye." "Shall I drive, dear?" "No honey, you can't handle the jeep." "I'll need some help." "I think you should lose the side-burns, red side-burns are not in." "Don't you agree?" "I'm going to buy a jeep, it's on my dream-list." "Yes, put an apartment there too." "Ok." "If you feel a pain in your chest... that leads into your left arm... then just stop." "Ok?" "We had dinner the other day... in Soho Grand, New York." "It was great, we were just getting comfortable when" "David Caruso came walking by." "Really?" "The opera singer?" "No, the actor, NYPD Blue!" "David!" "Yes." "Anyway, Caruso walks by and sits right at the next table." "Exactly." "Then he turns around and asks me how the food is." "Did he talk to you?" "I told him the food was very good and.... he ordered exactly the same!" "Wow!" "Well, I was once in Cafe List, and I turn around and ...." "I see Egill Helgason sitting next to me!" "Yes, Egill the political editor." "And?" "This is Iceland, I don't think it's quite comparable." "We see the same people everyday." "Anyway, it's always fun when you acquire some money." "It gives you the opportunity to do new things." "buy things, and travel." "I'm buying a computer." "Yes and shares.." "Yes, shares." "Buy stock in a good company... a company like OSSUR." "Then you are really helping children who have maybe lost and you're making money." "It's all about making money, this business." "You don't use the brakes!" "Yes, I do." "Listen, I've but my apartment on the market" "Really?" "Yes, I'm selling it." "Ok." "The horse is in the garden again." "Yeah?" "I've talked to Dagur," "Then talk to him again." "Are you saying that I'm not going to talk to him?" "Addi, relax!" "I'm relaxed." "Why are you so sensitive?" "I think this is a great idea Julius." "I apologize for being this sensitive." "Addi, calm down will you?" "Yes." "I'm very calm." "Go home." "I think that's it, ok?" "Yes, I think so." "Yes." "It's a bit too much, isn't it?" "Julius, the key to success is to start small... try your family first." "Yes, the south-coast." "You'll make an impression, the suit, new hairstyle..." "Looks like he's coming from a funeral." "This is all going to be a great success." "Or a funeral parlor." "You're going to do just fine, you're becoming one of us." "You're turning into Gunnar." "It'll be ok." "Want to buy Aloha health stuff?" "Health stuff?" "How much?" "It's very expensive.." "No thanks!" "It's the Aloha health products, can I maybe line them up here." "No no..." "Would you mind going into the gas station?" "see if they are interested?" "I'm not sure, what about the kids?" "You know these people -no, let's try another place." "Could you try some of your friends?" "Mom, can I go and buy some coke?" "No." "I can't be bothered..." " I want candy!" "You can get the large kit for about 12.000kr and the small one for 9.000kr." "But I think the most difficult aspect of this is that you pay a start-fee." "11 .000 kr. for nothing." "Really?" "Yeah, for nothing." "That's not so bad." "I think you're onto something, Julius." "How about your girlfriends, Elin?" "Yes, the girls..." "I can try this up at the base, I think the Yankees" "You think so?" "You think you can sell this?" "They'll swallow it like hamburgers." "It's going to cost you around 20.000 kr." "So it's 90.000 kr?" "Yes, I'm sorry but that's how it is." "It's just like when I was starting out in Rock 'n' Roll," "I didn't get a record deal on my first day." "That was of course before the Eurovision song contest." "Yes, well I hope you can get rid of this junk." "It's going to be Ok." "Hi, Julius." "Hi." "How'd it go?" "Terrible." "Oh?" "It's always hard first, then it gets better." "Yeah sure." "It takes time." "Julius, this is my neighbor Dagur." "Hi, Dagur." "He's in the tourist business." "Yes, I'm always on the mountains with the bloody Germans." "Really?" "It's my day off, what's your line of work?" "Nothing special." "Relax your knees." "Bend your knees." "What did you do?" "I didn't do anything, it's not my fault." "You're cut, there's a lot of blood." "Damn." "You need stitches." "You need to get stitches." "You must go to the ER." "Hi, how are you guys?" "Is Gunnar in?" "Yes, he's in bed, he's getting better." "Just gonna say hello." "Is Magga outside?" "Yes." "Ok, I'll go talk to her." "Hi there." "Hi." "How are you?" "Really?" "I'll be fine for golf on Saturday." "Yes, this is terrible." "I just wanted to... apologize, we've felt very sad about this." "I'm fine, really" "I'd also like to discuss this Aloha stuff that I bought." "I've been trying to sell it and..." "What Julius is trying to say is that nobody is buying from him because of the way he is, maybe the solution would be to give him a refund." "Refund?" "No way, there's no one-year guarantee here." "No no, there's no refund Julius, this is your responsibility." "Nobody wants to buy this shit, it's junk." "Yes it's junk, I mean it really is junk..." "That's not the point, this is business, pure business." "If I buy something and don't like it then I return it and get a refund." "I think this is barely legal business conduct if I'm going to be treated like this, then I'll sue." "Yes, .. well we are of course in a gray area with this product." "Do we want a lawsuit?" "Tell this idiot that there is no refund and that's that." "Yes." "Well, It's not possible to get a refund." "Well, then I'm taking this to court." "Fix this Addi, ok?" "Me?" "Yes ok." "I'll sue him." "No no Julius, don't do that." "I'll call the press." "No, no, no." "I'll call somebody." "Don't make a big deal out of this." "I'll pay you myself.." "the refund will be on me." "Pay what?" "I'll pay Julius." "Pay him what?" "The products the Aloha products..." "Julius, surely you can sell them yourself?" "No, I'm not doing this anymore." "Julius, this is going too far, we're not paying for your products." "Magga, let me deal with this in my way..." "No." "I'm going to give him a refund." "Addi dear!" "Will you just shut up for once, woman." "This is how I'm doing it and I'll pay him myself." "What's going on?" "You treat me like your dog, tell me what to say and how to act, how to think..." "Give me a smoke!" "Ok, let's just calm down." "I have a mind of my own and this is how I'm dealing with this." "I'm driving, I bought this jeep myself." "Yes." "Give them to me." "Yes ok, just calm down ." "I'm perfectly calm." "Is this Rambo 2?" "Strictly speaking it's Rambo 1 because the first movie was..." "Well, Addi." "Yes." "We were going to discuss a few matters?" "Yes sure." "Shall I leave?" "No, absolutely not." "Magga and I were thinking about this commune we have going here" "Basically, we are going out of town this weekend." "Don't take it the wrong way, but when we get back on Sunday.." "Yes, don't worry about me, I'll find something to do." "I'll be fine." "Have you found a new apartment?" "No." "No?" "There's not much on offer..." "Well you have to make an effort, you have to look." "I know that, have you been looking, Julius?" "You know I have." "That's escaped me." "Well, I'm not happy about the time it's taking you to get a new place." "You can of course stay here for as long as you want, Julius.." "What are you saying?" "I thought you were going to speak your mind!" "Well, I thought I was." "No, that's not what you just did!" "You're so cute." "What was I supposed to say?" "You know perfectly well what I told you to say!" "Calm down a little, Magga." "Don't you tell me what I can do or can't do, I'll have you know..." "That when I come home, I expect you to be gone" "I've had enough of your dirty socks and bad manners, am I clear?" "Magga." "Stop it, idiot!" "I hope I'm making myself clear, Julius." "Magga darling." "Fuck." "Did something happen?" "No, this is nothing new, just her normal mood swings" "Ok." "Yes, they went out of town for the weekend." "Yes ok." "I'm just by myself." "Ok, I'm just in town, doing some mixes with Steini!" "Really?" "Yeah." "Then there's something going on?" "Yeah, I think so." "The preliminaries are coming, for the Eurovision song contest." "And you have a song?" "Listen, it's floating as the Yankees would say." "Yeah, it sounds cool." "It's only the outline." "And how's mom about this?" "She doesn't know..." "What's going on?" "Hi, I've got the bloody Germans with me and I think I'm locked out." "We're just back from a tour and it looks like I misplaced my keys." "Really?" "Can we pop in for 15 to 30 min?" "Here, want a beer?" "No." "No thanks." "Please, Julius?" "I have nowhere else to go, it's gonna cost me if I can't finish the tour." "Ok, maybe for 15 min." "Yeah great, we won't be any trouble..." "No no." "Listen Dad, this is Dagur, our neighbor" "Yes, hello" "Yeah, it's just me and the bloody Germans." "Really?" "Just gonna take a breather, won't be long." "Aren't you Valli the pop star?" "Yes you are?" "Yes, I am." "This is unbelievable" "You were a big favorite of my mom's." "I remember that song, sunsets in the south." "Wanna beer?" "Yes please." "How about playing that song?" "Is there a feeling for that?" "For THE song?" "What the fuck?" "Oh looks like somebody had fun." "Julius!" "Wow, what happened here... a party?" "Yes, Dagur came over." "That troublemaker." "Oh, hi Magga." "Haven t you got the wrong apartment?" "What?" "Will you please get the fuck out of my house." "Hmm..." "Hi." "Darling this apparently wasn't Julius it was Dagur and some ..." "Hi." "That's my towel." "I don't think that's an issue." "Get this asshole out of here or I'll kill him" "I don't think we can blame Julius for this, he says he's sorry." "Ok." "Now let's clean this place together." "Thanks honey." "Ok this one here." "This is too bad, really sorry it had to end this way." "Let's talk." "Morning." "Morning." "I'm starting a new job today." "Yes, is the room ok?" "Yes, everything's fine." "Need anything else?" "No no, it's ok" "Bye" "Goodbye" "What makes this job different from others, is that the staff is always right, not the client." "Yes." "There's always somebody who wants to swindle on the machines." "So many people nowadays don't care about integrity." "So, if you do see somebody trying to cheat and getting a free game, then you just confront them, no pain no gain." "But aren't the machines automatic, they detect the cheaters?" "No pain, no gain, understood?" "Yes." "Everything usually runs smoothly, here but this one does tend to jam." "So just give it a good bang." "It usually works." "And if you see somebody trying to get a free game or something" "Yes, sure." "I've been extremely lonely." "I want to meet girls my age, I've got various interests," "I have for example two hamsters." "We just wanted to spice up our sex life, and we called you." "You want to try something new?" "Let's pray to God that our trip will be beautiful and full of laughter and joy." "I'm going to introduce you to Begga." "Yes, hi." "Hi, I'm Begga." "I'm Julius." "If you need to know anything, you can always ask me." "Two tickets to the Cassavettes movie." "At least this one's new." "That's 1600 kr." "I'm not paying." "I've got a new look, different hair and new glasses." "But I'm a completely different person." "Karitas, hi." "Hi." "Sit down, please." "So it's just a rule that nobody appears twice on "Blind Date."" "Morning, everything ok with the room?" "Yes, very nice." "Need something else?" "No, no, plenty of everything." "I wouldn't mess with these Thai girls." "You really are fucked up, man!" "Okay, this is great, aren't you excited?" "Yes, very." "What's the matter with you, why are you so boring?" "I think I left the lights on the car." "See you!" "A small bag of popcorn, no salt please." "No salt?" "And mineral water." "No minerals." "We had thought that you could maybe be a policeman or something." "I think it would turn us on, the thought of being arrested." "No, I just wanted to meet a girl, I didn't expect to meet a man also." "Hi, Julius." "Hi." "Any plans for tonight?" "Well, I'm working till seven." "Me too." "Why do you ask?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No, I don't have a girlfriend." "That's weird, you're so cool." "Thanks." "And so cute, also." "You really are." "Maybe I should invite you to the movies tonight." "Really." "What's your favorite cinema?" "I don't have a particular cinema I like." "The sound system is best in Kringlubio." "Really?" "Shall we go there at eight?" "Yeah, sure." "Good, I better start working before Oddur arrives" "Are you bowling with mom?" "The movie will start soon." "We are going to the movies." "What are you doing?" "What's wrong with you?" "Retarded idiot." "Yes, that wasn't for me." "How do you like my wife?" "She's ok." "Hi." "Hi." "You have to do something, want to join us?" "Where?" "I'm talking about a threesome." "You really are mad." "No, I do not want to join you in a threesome." "You're unbelievable, it makes me physically sick to work here." "There's something really scary about you and this place." "Wow.." "Is it that Thai girl the other day?" "Why?" "Why do you have to be like this?" "Have it anyway you want, Julius." "But you are always more than welcome here." "Some people like bowling, other people like tennis." "You are just about the most fucked up person I've ever met." "What if she's gone for good?" "I mean we know nothing about these communist countries." "No." "I've heard stories about women going there and never coming back." "I think that's more the Muslim countries." "Well, Muslim, communism, it's all the same." "Boys, boys, stop this at once..." "we're in a guesthouse." "Why don't you just go to China?" "I don't know what I'm supposed to do." "You know where she lives?" "You have her address, right?" "Yes, yes, I know all that..." "I know where they live." "So, just follow her" "Really, you think I should do that?" "It's a romantic thing." "Yes, maybe." "I mean don't you think she would be happy if I turned up all of a sudden." "I think she would be happy to see you." "I'll see if I can help, I have some connections with travel agencies." "Really?" "To China?" "No problem." "I mean they've always got some bloody deals going on." "Are you going around the world for some chick in China?" "Yes, that's the plan." "Why?" "She might be on vacation, she might be back in two weeks." "I don't know anything, maybe she's gone for good." "We don't know what China is like." "Addi, dinner is ready." "Could you?" "Here you go." "Ok, that's the ticket ready." "It's going to be 61 .000 kr." "with airport taxes." "Taxes and all?" "It includes taxes." "This is fantastic, I'm..." "Yes." "Here." "Listen, I'm thinking, if maybe you have an extra seat?" "Yes." "The price is too good to say no to." "I was thinking if there's any chance of you lending me 20.000 kr?" "Until when?" "Just when we land in Hong Kong." "Yes sure, that should be no problem." "It's no amount, really." "No not really." "I have a connection over there with this bloody Icelandic girl," "if there's any trouble" "Yes, ok." "We should check her out, yes?" "Yeah." "This is going to be fun, man." "Goddamn, I want to fuck everybody here!" "Are you asleep?" "Yes I am." "How can you sleep?" "Aren't you tired after the flight?" "No way." "What's that you're eating?" "Hmm, it's just.... ok they're anti-depressants." "Really." "Just to keep my mood-swings down, nothing to worry about." "We're getting to the hotel, I think." "Ok, Anna is waiting for us in the lobby..." "What?" "Is she waiting in the hotel?" "Yes." "I thought you were only going to call if we got into trouble" "I think it's great to meet her right away, she knows this place." "We'll just shower up, meet her, go straight out clubbing..." "Really the women here are amazing." "if I knew the language, there would be no stopping me." "I should have come here when I was younger." "And all these western companies, it's like home..." "Samsung, Onward, Nec, Siemens, Epson, Panasonic, Sharp." "The amount of people born here every day," "I mean millions... and millions coming in from all over the world." "Well, let's go!" "Look over there, that's where the old airport used to be." "A friend who's from here but moved to NY and came back in '86 experienced a hurricane landing here." "What's hurricane in Icelandic?" "I forgot.." "Anyway, the pilot had to take off again.. just when he was landing." "Then it managed to land finally." "But this was what you call a "life experience" for this man." "Ok." "For this man?" "Oh my Icelandic has become so bad." "Sometimes I wonder who could have believed a humble girl like me could have made it this far in life." "But you're no ordinary girl." "Well, let's head back to the hotel." "Hmm, yes." "So you're not going with me?" "This is Hong Kong." "when you're over there, its's a completely different ball game." "It's just that you promised to help." "Listen, If I was you then I would not go with me ..." "I'm just doing you a favor." "Don't worry about me, I'll find something do to here in Hong Kong." "Yes." "Have a nice trip and good luck." "Well, he's just so in love with her." "You just need to see a shrink" "Call Gardar Kristjansson in Iceland and make an appointment for Julius." "Julius has just arrived from the mainland." "And what now?" "I got to her village, I saw her house and her.." "And I saw that she's started seeing her ex again, Chow." "Chow baby chow." "Express emotions, express love..." "Well, it was nice knowing you." "Sorry about the Chinese girl." "Yes, thanks for all the help." "Oh that was nothing, hopefully you'll find somebody better." "Yes." "Well, or maybe not..." "or you know..." "Please, call the shrink when you get back, you do that for me?" "Yes." "Make sure you do that." "Ok?" "Yes." "Really?" "Bye Bye." "Bye." "And when is your flight?" "I'm not going anywhere." "Have you heard from Addi, since you've been back?" "What?" "I said, have you heard from Addi, since you've been back?" "No, I haven't had any contact with him." "So what are you gonna do next, after this trip and all the girls and everything?" "What?" "I said, what's your plan now?" "I can't hear a word you're saying" "What's your life plan right now?" "I suppose I'll look for some work" "You can always come to the base and fry burgers until something.." "What?" "Kids, stop this noise" "I said you can always fry hamburgers at the base." "Until you find something better to do." "Oh, I see." "So, that's an idea?" "Save up some money for school or something." "Yes, sure." "Is this a new one?" "Julius, try and put the kids early to sleep" "Yes, ok." "Not later than midnight, ok?" "Oli, you're not going out tonight." "Do you understand, Oli?" "Yes." "You start panicking every time he appears, just shoot..." "Take care as the Yankees would say." "Bye, honey" "Kids, try do something constructive for once.. rent a video or something." "Bye bye, see you tomorrow." "Leo the lazy got an Uzi from his car and got back to the castle." "And shot all the fat people dead." "and then he married the princess and they lived... happily ever after.." "Tell another story, uncle Julius." "No, no more stories, go to sleep, boys." "Amen." "I want another story." "Tell another story." "Oli, I'll pay you 1000 kr." "if you put the boys to sleep." "More, I want 2000 kr." "Offer him 1500 kr." "How about 1500 kr?" "And I get to go out." "Yes, ok..." "Yeah, that's ok." "Well, you sold the apartment." "Yes." "You got rid of that place." "Yes, I got some money from it." "But I don't think it's a good idea to buy something bigger." "Dad, I just don't know what I want to do anymore." "It'll be fine." "Grandpa?" "a two-player game?" "Yes, is this the new Tekken?" "Yes." "I'm game." "Is it true what Elin was telling me about you going back to school?" "Hmm, I'm not really sure." "But isn't it the right time now to turn back the clock and just go back to basics, as the Yankees would say." "I did check out the university..." "Yes?" "I also went to the Tech Institute," "I think the computer course there is interesting." "Aha, programming." "Yes, there's a lot of money in that business." "So, I was thinking about saving up, renting a small room downtown." "Yes, don't worry about the money." "I've sold so much of these products you gave me.." "The Yankees are going crazy over it." "Really?" "Yes, money is no problem, we'll solve this situation" "It's like the Yankees say, every- thing is possible at thirty some .." "I'm not going to make a big deal out of my birthday, ok!" "We have to, we'll do something fun." "I don't care, I told people to be here at 8 and it's nearly 11 now." "Yes sure, people are just a little late." "Have you called Addi?" "No, I couldn't reach him I should try calling again." "Yes." "See if he's in." "Is that the doorbell?" "No." "People will turn up." "Want a beer?" "No, let's wait a bit." "Ok." "Magga." "Hi Julius here." "Oh, hi." "It's my birthday now and..." "Congratulations." "Yes I was wondering if you and Addi wanted to come." "No, he's in Denmark right now..." "a global health seminar." "Oh, and when will he be back?" "Ok, but what about you, it's a good party" "No, I've been a bit sick, so I wouldn't be any fun." "Well, ok then." "Yes, ok bye bye." "Who was that?" "That was Julius." "Did he want to speak to me?" "It's his birthday, he invited us." "Really?" "His birthday today?" "Yes" "How old is he?" "He's seven" "Not much more, anyway." "No." "Let's stop by later." "We are not stopping by later, I said no." "I could go for ten minutes." "Do you really think that's wise after everything that's gone on?" "It's not very good timing" "I'm sorry dear, I hope I'm not ruining the atmosphere." "I have to take off now, I'm meeting this guy at the disco in 20 min." "Who is that?" "He's very cute, maybe you'll meet him some day." "Ok bye bye." "Take care." "Yes." "Bye darling." "Bye." "It's all just a misunderstanding." "It's just so difficult." "Cheer up, we'll be ok." "Yes, that's right slowly does it." "Keep the grip loose, don't strangle it." "Hi guys." "Hi." "Warming up?" "Yes, why not?" "Who hits the furthest?" "Yes, let's have a competition?" "Listen, Julius." "Yes." "Can I have a word?" "I was thinking about your birthday, I've been a complete mess over it." "I mean, I didn't turn up I'm very sorry about that." "Magga told me you were in Denmark." "When?" "When I called, she said you were in Denmark." "What?" "That's just lies, fucking lies.." "I was gonna come and she just banned me from going." "She said "you're not going jack-shit", I said "Yes I am"... then I didn't go." "Don't blame me, don't be angry with me, I'm innocent." "I'm not angry." "If you are, then it's Magga you should be angry with." "I'm not angry with anybody, I'm really fine." "Well, I'm angry.." "that's for sure." "And are we..." "We're still friends." "Sorry." "Hey, are you touching me...?" "It's like the Yankees always say:" ""the old friends are gold"" "You think he's got a chance?" "It's really good" "Yes" "Can I sit down?" "Yes, of course."
