"She worked at a hairdresser's." "This'll look really nice." "This will look great." "It'll make you look ten years younger." "There you go." "Coming!" " Two packs." "How are you doing?" " Fine." " This didn't turn out bad." " Really?" "And how is Edith doing?" "Same shit, different day." " Hello." " Hello." "One Choco-shock." "Wedding." "Five thousand white roses."

" Have you got a moment?" " Sure." "I don't know how to put this..." "Occasionally, things will disappear from a freight, right?" " How do you mean?" " Like when a large company moves." "If something were to disappear, wouldn't their insurance cover it?" "Pelle told me that in a move this big  it's not inconceivable that one might get a little bit of a bonus." "Okay." "I'm on my way in." "Eight out of ten movers systematically steal..." "Edith's Salon, this is Rita." "Hello." "Well, let's have a look..." "I'm not entirely certain I can squeeze you in."

"Will you see things I don't want to know?" "That's possible." "But I won't tell you anything you don't already know." "My task is to guide you through your development." " Yes!" " We can all change our lives." " But we may need some help." " I'm coming!" "That's where I come in and do something simple." "Sometimes, there's not much needed to set someone's life right." "You've said that you're almost ashamed to bring..." "One fine day, you'll find me dead here in bed." "You're being overly dramatic." "I finished the flyers today."

"Do you know what people like you are called?" "Amoebas." "Amoeba?" "That was a new one." "Good morning, mrs Ekdahl." " Hello, Christo." "Someone hasn't had his c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e, you see." "There." "Hop on down, Christo." "Could I possibly get some help?" "It used to be that you could leave things outside." "But now, with all these..." "Mixing people like that just can't be good." "That's not my opinion." "It's God's." "Hello." "So, we're coloring today, are we?" "Yes, I would like to get rid of my gray hairs." " I'm not that old." " We have a new coloring foam." "I thought we'd try it." "It's good for the skin, and it washes out." "Washes out?" "No, we want something that's permanent." "If you pay good money, you want something that lasts a while."

"Excuse me." "Thank God it was you." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "I thought I saw a Paki leaning over me, trying to strangle me." "He's from Home Helpers."

"Tell the local authorities that if they can't get something better  for an old person who's worked and paid taxes all her life  than a criminal hottentot, then they can go to... a certain place!" "She's a litle odd." "Maybe it would be better if someone else came here." " I don't mind." " It's not your fault." "I'll call and just let them know." " That's fine." "But this morning my supervisor said that I'm the last one being sent." "She's had nine in seven months." "Good luck." "Wait!" "He'll clean the house and shop for food." "And we've agreed that he is not go into the bedroom." "He really does seem very nice." "I'll be here mornings and nights, and you can buzz me, if you want."

"You can't put up posters here." "Excuse me, you cannot..." "You have a beautiful aura." "Excuse me." "We did say fifty minutes, right?" "I think it'll grow out again." "I gave him one of the coats we had." "And a big package of chocolate biscuits." "I've been thinking." "We don't have all that many customers in the salon." "I wonder why that might be." "I was thinking of maybe opening a combination salon." "Where both dogs and humans could get their hair done." "After all, I am a regular hairdresser." "Rebuilding doesn't have to be expensive." "I could get a loan." "First of all, you haven't cut a human hair since you got your diploma." "I mean, look at this." "You don't even know how to use rollers." "And second of all, you would never get a bank loan." "I mean, look at yourself." "Try to be realistic about this." " What do you need to be satisified?" " I don't know." "If you'd been my real daughter..." "If you'd been my real mother, you never would've said that." "I see." "So that's what you think?" "And where was she, your real mother?" "When you were crying in the stairwell, scared and hungry?" "Who took care of you when you had the measles  and looked like you had leprosy?" "If it hadn't been for me, I think you would have been a junkie  and a prostitute by now." "Do you know who you are, where you come from?" "Do you need help finding yourself?" "You do know they brainwash you and charge you for the privilege?" "Only idiots fall for that sort of thing." "I don't know." "I guess you're right." "I couldn't afford it anyway." "It's been exciting following this." "I think I've read every article." "About sex in the Pentecostal Church?" " What happened with that?" " We got sued, of course." "By the rubber-clad pastor."

" There you go." " What is this?" " Pay me back whenever you want." " I hope it's enough." " For what?" "For a brainwashing." "You need to get away for a while." "Just don't come home infatuated with some stoner guy." "Thank you." " There's just one small problem." " Forget it." "No, no." "Anything but that." "Take this, and let the Home Helpers look after her." "Get out, you traitor!" "Have a good weekend." "She said it would be fine." "Just call my cell phone if anything happens." " Okay?" "Bye." " Bye." "Tomorrow, breakfast will be from 4 to 4:30 AM." "After that, mandatory Qi Gong training." "The yoga activities are bit more optional." "Time for a little welcome drink."

"Hands underneath and back." "Sorry." "Adam is lactose-intolerant and hasn't watched his diet." "Keep rocking." "Hello." "My name is Simon." "I've recently ended a long-term relationship." "And now, me and my ex share custody of  our lovely dog Toto." "I think that's it." " We welcome Simon." " Welcome, Simon." "We are here to strengthen our relationship." "It's already very strong and in full bloom." "Not just symbolically, but also in a physical sense  we complete each other on a cosmic level." " Isn't that right, sweetie?" " Yes." " We welcome Adam and Eva." " Welcome, Adam and Eva." "Hi." "My name is Knut." "I've heard a lot about this  and feel that it is time for me to make an inner journey." "I am very happy to be here today." "With you." "Thank you." " We welcome Knut." " Welcome, Knut." "Hello, my name is Rita, and..." "I haven't been to anything like this before." "It'll be a lot of fun." "I saw your poster, and I really liked it." "It said really good things about "not knowing who you are", like that." "I figured, If you don't know that, it's good if someone else knows." " I don't know." " We welcome Rita." "Welcome, Rita." "That's good." "Very good, Simon." "Flow with the shawl." "Feel the shawl as a part of yourself." "We really want to contact our selves to become complete human beings." "To reach that stage, we have to be open and sharing with each other." "On Sunday, I want you to burn all the old luggage you brought here." "Things we no longer want to carry with us." "And..." "Yes, Rita?" "I didn't bring a lot of luggage." "I didn't know we were going to burn it." " I didn't really mean it literally." "More about painful things in the soul that we want to be rid of." "Oh, I see." "I'm sorry." "It's easy to think yourself stupid." "But you are not stupid, Rita." "Oops." "I'll have to call you back." "Talk to you later." " Can I have one?" " Sure." " Do you want one?" " No, I've quit." "Me too." " What do you think so far?" " I guess it's alright." "I think." " It's a little odd." " Yeah." "A few days ago, I didn't even know this place existed." "And now suddenly, here I am." "Why is that?" "A guest on Lolo's said that sometimes you need a little help changing your life." " Lolo?" " Don't you watch it?" " No." "Are you serious?" "It's the best show ever." "I watch every episode." " So, why are you here?" " "Too much luggage", I guess." "Do you believe you can change your life in one weekend?" "I don't know." "But I hope so." "I really do." "Do you need anything else?" "Remember, I'm here because I'm getting paid, not because I want to." "In tonight's episode, Roomservice visits Levan's tiny apartment." "You need to plan when furnishing twelve square meters  to leave room for a cocktail party." "What do you do for a living?" "I'm a hairdresser." "And you?" " I mostly write." " Are you an author?" "No." "No, I'm not, but..." "I think that's what I'd like to be." "I love books." "I read all the time." "I brought lots of great books here." " I didn't think of doing that." " I can lend you one, if you like." " Here." "Have you read that one?" " No." " It's great." " Thanks." "I'll return it to you." "It's alright." "You can keep it." "I've already read it." "Several times." "It's nice when a book starts like that." " "For my Amanda", or something." " A dedication?" "Yes." "I think that's nice." "Well, then." "We're all here." "I want you to read from the letters you've written, while imagining  that the person you've written to is sitting across from you." "Rita, you can begin." "To my mother." "I still live in the same building we lived in." "After dad had Edith, who lived below us, if you recall, got to keep me after a bit of a fight with Social Services." "Sometimes when I can't sleep, I try to remember what you look like." "What you smelled like." "But that is difficult." "In the fourth grade Christmas play, I played Mary." "I was great." "And all the other mothers were there." "I wonder what you were doing then." "Where were you?" "I'm trying to understand that..." "I just think you could have sent me a card." "Maybe for my birthday." "Or for Christmas." "Honestly, how difficult is that?" "I'm sorry." "I just got overwhelmed." "What had the others written about?" "Eva wrote a letter to Adam  complaining about his inability to complete sexual intercourse." " No?" " Yes." "Maybe their relationship wasn't quite that cosmic, after all." "Push." "Everybody, push." "You're pushing wrong, Adam." "You're a bit too high up." "Now they're too low." "Put your hands up, honey." "There you go." " No!" " Ow!" "Please help me." "Let's take a break." "Everyone please go outside for a while." "Eva and Adam will stay here." " Come here, Eva." " I'll miss you." " And I you." " I'll come visit you at the salon." " Please do!" " And I'll bring Toto." " Promise me you will!" " Good bye." " Bye." "Do you want a ride back to town?" " Thanks for the ride." " Bye." "I'm sorry if you felt lonely this weekend." "But I want you to know that I am very happy you took care of me." "Edith." "It's like you said:" "God knows where I would have been without you." "Edith?" "I've also been doing some thinking while I've been all alone here." "Without water or bread." "Do you want to hear this?" "Are you ready?" "We close the salon, and then you take over." "And then we dump the help." "That way, we don't have that brown fellow here all the time." "But I like working in the salon." "I like meeting people." "I'll close it down anyway." "I can't take the responsibility any more." "If Little Miss doesn't like that, she may want to look for another job." "Welcome to Centro." "You want the sports desk." " Let's see..." " Hello." " You're a Virgo." " How did you know?" " I've taken a course." " What kind of course?" "On how to fool idiots and Harlequin readers into giving you money." "Really?" "Doesn't sound like a front page story." "I can get anything on the front page, using experience and talent." " You have to talk to her." " No point." "She's made up her mind." " Witch." " She's old and sick." " Sick in the head." " Lisbeth!" "She's had two strokes." "I don't know." "Maybe that's how it is, maybe she's right." "That's what I owe her." "I can hardly make the rent." "Didn't the course teach you anything?" "I met a guy there." " Don't tell me you're infatuated." " No." "No!" " No!" " Focus on getting a job now." "Men are all idiots." "Just ask me." "I will show you a thing from the course." "Against aggression." "Come on, it's great." "Stand up." "Hands up like this, and stand..." "I have a bridal bouquet to finish." "Bye." " Hello, welcome." "This won't do." "You need to make it more personal." "You have to find a victim." "Spend a few more days on it." " Hello." " Hello..." "Do you have an open slot?" "I needed a haircut and thought I'd get some conversation with it." "Unless you get on all fours and bark, I don't think I can help you." "Oh, it's a..." "Okay." " Isn't that a hairdresser's diploma?" " Yes, but I only really do dogs." " A haircut is a haircut, right?" " Are you sure?" "Absolutely." "You're taking a risk." "Last week I burned the fur off of a customer." " Sit." " Right." " Do you like it?" " Very nice." "There you go." "What do I owe you?" "We've got a special deal." "Wash, cut and dry for 230 crowns." "But, since you're not a dog, we could say 200." " Do you take cards?" " No." "All my jewelry is gone!" "That damned chocolate ball took them!" " I have a customer." " Come, or I'll call the police!" "Five minutes!" "I'm sorry." "It's the owner of the salon." "She's a little..." "Last week she thought that a danish stole all her jewelry." "I don't have any cash, since I was robbed by a cup cake, or something." "It took all my money, so..." "Can't we get together this afternoon?" "We can have a coffee, and I can pay you." "Four o'clock at Ramboden?" " Yes." " Okay." "Bye." " Good bye." " Thank you." "CLOSED" "I think he's stealing a little bit at a time." "When he's taken it all, he'll kill me!" " Edith, I don't think..." " Listen to me!" "You must have misplaced them." "I'll help you look." "Let's see now." "Not here." "It's not in there." "Edith..." "He certainly didn't take it." "Look, it's all still here." " What's that?" " Nothing." " What's that letter?" " I said it's nothing!" " What's that?" " Hair color." " What are you up to?" " Nothing." "You should have gone in, ordered a coffee and been honest." "No way." "It's the inside that counts." "If you'd seen him, I don't think you'd say that." " How so?" " Because he's... tall." "And he's all..." "He has muscles." "Not lots of them, but just right." "And he has thick, dark hair." "Good hair." "And then he has incredibly blue eyes." "Does he have a green jacket, blue jeans and an interesting hair style?" "Damn it!" " Hello." " Hi." "Do you know Rita from the salon across the street?" " Well, yes." "Why do you ask?" " I need to see her, she's not there." " Do you have her cell number?" " I don't know that I can hand it out." " Hello." " Hello." "Oh." "I dropped something on the floor, which I was looking for." " There we go." " Thank you." "I just wondered where you got to." " What do you mean?" " We were having coffee today." "Was that today?" "My word." "I thought that maybe it was... tomorrow." " I see." " We could meet some other time." " Yes." " Bye." " Bye." " Good bye." "Hey." "Wait a moment." " Nice store." " Yes." "Lisbeth is the best." "Everyone wants her when it's time for a party or wedding." " But she hates weddings." " Why?" "Because... she was dumped on her wedding day." " No!" " Yes." "Seven years ago." "Everything was all set, with the church, party and her dress." "I'd done her hair, and all." "And then the guy didn't show up." "I think she got burned." "I have to run back to work." "Let's get a coffee some other day." "Bye." " Where is it?" " What?" "That letter." "I know nothing about that." "But it's for me!" "It's from my mother." "I was going to give it to you when..." "When you were old enough." " I'll be 30 in a few days." " That's when you'd have gotten it." "I pity you, Edith." "You know what this would have meant to me." " She was no good." " Listen..." "I intend to find out." "Abandonded by her parents, she's an easy target for hucksters..." "God damn it." "Edith?" "Look." "Now you almost look like me." " It's too hot." " Tea is supposed to be hot." "Tell me what the problem is." "It's Rita." "She's going to leave me." " Rita!" " Hi!" " Do you have a minute?" " Yes." "After I deliver these." "You must think me plain weird." "But a lot of things have happened." "The salon's closing, I'm out of work." "And I owe money - for the course." " So, what'll you do?" " I don't know." " Look for a new job, in a real salon." " Good." "I can be a reference." "And I've found a letter." "One I was supposed to get 22 years ago." " From...?" " My mother." "I thought I'd try to find her." "But there was no address." "I don't even know that she's alive." "I do things like that at work." "We look for people who aren't easy to find." "If you want, I might be able to help you." "Her surname was Eriksson in 1974." "Her address was Västra Brogatan 91." "She has a daughter called Rita." "Around her early thirties." " Edith's Salon?" "I don't know it." " It's not a regular salon." "We mostly deal in dogs." "But I'm a real hairdresser." " It's not that great a difference." " Really?" "I've devised a saying that I follow." "Sort of a motto, if you will." ""Your beauty is my duty."" " Alright, thank you." " I haven't been sick a single day." " And I've run the entire salon." " We've had very many applications." " I really like your salon." " We'll get back to you." "Thank you." "What is that?" "Good Lord." "Oh my..." "Thank you." "That's so kind of you." "The best birthday present I could ask for." " Is today your birthday?" " Tomorrow, but still..." " How will you celebrate?" " As I usually do." "Edith usually bakes a cake." " Cake is nice." " It's not a party." "Just Edith and I." "More cake for me." "Do you need some help?" "Sit down." "Do you have a cold?" "It's a just a tickle in my throat." "A warm drink would be nice." "I'll have to order something from the bakery." "It's just not the same thing." "I can bake Rita a cake." "Not a problem." "And we could have a party with lots of food." "Yes, but you see Rita is used to Swedish... regular food." "Do you think I put rat poison in the food?" "Eriksson and Forsblad." "Hello?" "I would like to speak to Susanne." "SEND" " I was going for lunch." "Coming?" " I'm not finished yet." "Who was the guy who could get anything on the front page?" "Keep working." "Hello." "How does it feel?" "I've been here since I was a kid, so it's not really..." " Happy birthday." " Wow." "What a lovely color." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Edith?" "Edith?" "Happy birthday to Rita." "Hip hip..." "Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray!" "Thank you so much." "Well, everyone... this is Knut." " Hello." " Knut, this is Edith and... everyone." " How about some food, Mrs Ekdahl?" " No, thank you." "I watch my diet." "For my stomach." "But, you know, I could have a little taste." " I'll just take the plate." " Some wine?" "Yes please." " I didn't think I'd ever get him to come back." "A toast." " There you go." " It's standing." "You'll get married." "I'll save the cake, just put it down there." " It's really good." " Edith always bakes me a cake." "Safari helped me." "I'm going to Sundsvall tomorrow." "To meet my mother - thanks to you." "Exciting." "I'll have to wish you good luck, I guess." " Be well." " You too." "Bye." "That medallion has passed from mother to daughter in my family  for several generations." "I want you to take it." "That's very kind of you, but I can't take it." "But you can take care of it." "For me." "I've spoken to her." "I'm meeting her tomorrow." "I might stay away overnight." "Come in." "You wouldn't happen to want a ride to Sundsvall tomorrow?" " Hello." " Don't you look nice?" "Thank you." "I hardly remember her." "I was maybe one or two when she moved." "And then Daddy was alone with me." "He was kind." "He used to make me pancakes for breakfast." "He could toss them into the air to flip them, you know." "He used to go out once I'd fallen asleep." "Sometimes I'd pretend to sleep, cause I knew he was waiting for it." "I wasn't afraid, because he was always there when I woke up." "But one morning he didn't come back." "And then they found him a week later." "Under a bench in the park." "He had frozen to death." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "But life isn't always that simple." "I'm glad I have "good karma"." "Isn't that what they said?" "That's right." "I have to stop and make a call." "It'll just take a moment." " Alright." " It's full of erroneous facts." "I'll look it over." "Bye." "Could come in handy." "I fell hard for that crazy Steve." "When he died, I was going to come get you." "But then I met John." "And since I didn't mention you right away, it just got more difficult." "And then we had Tom." "And then I really couldn't say anything." "It's been a heavy burden." "It's been terribly painful." "I can imagine." "I've had a good life with Edith." "Really." "But now I've decided to be honest." "You'll get to meet my family." "They're your family too." "In a way, I've already got a family." "Edith is kind of my family, in a sense." "But I'm really glad to get to meet you." "I'm happy to see what you look like and kind of who you are." " I must look a mess." " You're beautiful." "Look at these bags under my eyes." " There you go." " Thank you." "Thanks." "Red?" "Some liqueur?" "Or whiskey?" " Champagne?" " Champagne." "A toast to..." " To life." " A toast to you." "Who are you?" "I'm just me." "Who are you?" "There's something I have to tell you." "It's about my job." "I'm sorry." "Yes, this is Rita." "Right." "Hello." "Boo." " Thank you for being there." " The same to you." "Would you like some... coffee or tea?" "Tea would be nice." "She's right there." "If you don't tell her, I will." "That's for certain." "How dare you?" " What the fuck?" " Don't pretend to be stupid." "What's the matter?" " Who's it going to be?" "You or me?" " Going to be what?" "I'll be back in a while." "What's the matter?" "I'm a journalist." "I came to that center to write an article about New Age." "I wrote the article, but didn't want it to be printed." "But... now it seems like they printed it anyway." " What?" "Did you get fired?" " No." "What a nice picture." "WHITE TRASH MEETS NEWAGE" ""A woman with a background in drug abuse, abandoned by her parents."" ""A classic example of someone so vulnerable-"" ""-she's easily manipulated within a group." I don't get it." ""Uneducated, and what the Americans call White Trash."" ""Easily manipulated"." "I don't understand this." "That's me you're writing about." "I don't understand why..." " Is this supposed to be me?" " Listen to me..." "I don't get it." "I didn't know you." "I had no idea who you were." "I am so terribly sorry that this thing... that it even exists." "I want you to leave." "Could you please just go?" "Will you leave?" "Get out." " Please get out!" " Rita!" " There you are!" " What the hell is this?" " Your article." " I said it was not to be printed!" "We fixed the factual errors, and it turned out good." "It's crap." "All of it!" "I'm sick of this damned rag." "You'll print anything you can find!" " You wrote it." " But you're the editor!" "It's your responsibility." "You have no judgement!" "You'll print anything!" " I print the truth." " You've been in a bubble too long." " Relax." "Just do a follow-up." " I'm done at this paper." "This piece of shit paper!" "Come back, and lets talk." "Knut!" " You can sleep here, if you want." " No, that's fine." "You're an intercourse coach." "What does that entail?" " What do you do?" " Help couples in trouble." " Are you there during the sex act?" " Lf necessary, yes." "How does that work?" "Do you sit on a chair in the room?" "You can't go on like this, Rita." "You have to snap out of it." "Hey." "Listen to me." "You are the kindest and best person I know." "Knowing that someone has hurt you like this just makes me so angry." "I'll never be able to trust anyone ever again." "I know what you mean." "But give it some time." "You'll get over it, I promise." "It'll only take about seven years or so." "And how are things with Henrik?" "He proposed to me." "Look." "Oh, my God!" " Hello, Simon!" " It's been too long." " Good to see you." "And who is this?" " I brought Toto today." "This place is so nice." " We've closed down." " Yes, I saw that." " So, how are you doing, sweetie?" " Awful." "Tell me all about it." " How much time do you have?" " As much as you need." "Personal..." "Is this how you spell "qualifications"?" "My experience is that anything with hair can be styled in exciting ways." "The content is good, but you have to present the idea right." "You have to be confident, and believe in yourself." "If you don't know what you want, you won't get any money." "No wimping out." "No, "Sorry for existing"." "Walk in, look in his eyes and speak loudly and clearly." "And what can I do for you?" "I have a... a little idea." "It's nothing spectacular, but..." ""Your duty is my beauty"." "Sorry." "The other way around:" ""Your beauty is my duty"." "That's my policy, and I need 100,000 crowns." " For what?" " A combined salon." "A salon where humans and dogs can cut their hair at the same time." "Excue me, Mr Nielsen." "I happen to think that this is a good idea." "It's unique." "It's a brilliant idea!" "If you don't like it, I'll go to another bank!" "I'm going to make it!" "Lt'll be a huge success!" "Here's all the information you need!" "Good day!" "I don't know what to do." "You have to help me." "We never turn down people in need of help." "But I'm willing to make an exception in your case." "You have a big task in front of you." "It won't be easy." "And it won't be cheap either." "Edith's salon, Rita speaking." "Let me check." "The 20th, in three weeks time." "We look foward to seeing you." "Four o'clock, as usual." "Bye." "Didn't you turn out nice?" "That'll be 2,150." " Thanks." " Great, thanks." "Bye." "Come back soon." "Don't let him in here." "Get him out of here." "If you let him in, I'll..." "whip you into a bloody pulp." "Is that a promise?" " What did he say?" " He wanted to talk to me." "No, he wanted to talk to you." "But I said you didn't want to see him." "He wanted to give you a book." "I said you didn't want anything from him." "And then he left." " That's what you wanted, right?" " Of course." "Jesus..." "What are you doing tonight?" "Nothing." " Hello there." " How are you?" "Good." "Eight days without a cigarette." "He was in here yestarday." "He wanted me to give you this." "Open it." "FOR RITA" "Welcome to Lollo's." "Today's guest is an author presenting his first book." "Welcome, Knut Berglund." "Tell us about the book." " Which camera is it?" "That one?" " That one, but..." "If you look at me, that'll be fine." " Can you tell me about the book?" " No." "Rita, I really hope you're watching right now." "I've tried calling you, to reach you in every conceivable way." "I've been by your salon, and the only option left was Lollo here." " I hope you've read the book." " I have." "It's an unusual genre for an investigative journalist." "Aren't you afraid of what your former colleagues will say?" "It doesn't much matter what others think of it." "Because we're..." "It doesn't matter what other say about us." "Because we're all pre-approved." "Do you remember?" "Rita seems to be very important to you." "We're live, and I need to ask some questions." "Can you...?" "The only review that matters to me is yours, Rita." "You're welcome to look at me." "People who make a living judging others  are often afraid." "I know, because I did that for a long time." " Yes, you did." " I have hurt other people." "Worst of all, one of them is the person that I love." " This was a real page-turner." " Lollo has read the book." " Did you like the book?" " I loved it." "You idiot." "I hate you." "Writing dime-store novels, and appearing on Lollo's show..." " And you call me White Trash?" " Hit as hard as you like." "I'm sorry." "Edith?" "Damn!" "You really scared me!" "Edith's Salon." "This is Rita." "You do know they brainwash you in places like this?" "Today is the last day in the first part of your life." "We'll start with a simple movement." "Sorry." "Adam is lactose-intolerant." "You need to make it more personal." "You have to find a victim." " What do you think so far?" " It's okay." " So, why are you here?" " "Too much luggage", I guess." "I met a guy there." " Don't tell me you're infatuated." " No!" "Do you know Rita from the salon across the street?" "Samir, from Home Helpers." " But he's black." " Edith!" "A criminal hottentot!" "You traitor!" "She's going to leave me." "I'll never be able to trust anyone again." "This'll be great." "You'll look ten years younger."
