"Girls have longer hair and... they wear nail polish." "Some boys are nice because they like to play... with girls." "And some don't." "I don't like boys." "They just want to..." "They try to trick us." "They try to make us breathe faster- and then squeeze us." "Sometimes when I kiss Arthur or..." "They run away!" "Really." "But I haven't thought about what love is yet." "Every time I see him I fall in love with him." "BODY FAT INDEX OF LOVE." "Good morning." "The BMW marketing team will be here in half an hour." "Where are you?" "I'll be right over." "I'm all set." "Hurry!" "Everyone's here and all stoked up." "Bye." "TEST YOUR BODYFATINDEX" "What was that body fat thing?" " Business present." "Good morning." "They're waiting for you." "One sec." "car" "Hiya." "Stigu Mertala, our copywriter." " Hello." ""Way to go"." "A true classic." "So they say." " No pressure." "BMW, the car of your dreams." "What's as important to us as breathing?" "What could it be?" "Love?" "Dreaming." "Our dreams are often vague, out of reach." "Happiness, balanced life etc." "For your dreams to come true, you need a concrete object." "It can be just an image at first." "A dream job, dream holiday, dream home." "In this case it's a dream..." "Car!" " Exactly." "Ok, happy hour." "You checked your vacation dates yet?" "This is broken." "We need to book the flights soon." "You've spoken with Saara?" "She knows we're going?" "Don't you think you should?" "Hey, you could bring some girl with you too." "Could you look through my business plan for me?" "Online dating." "Been there, done it." "Nothing but kids in the bars." "Where do people meet?" "In the dog park?" "Ok, hand it over." "What?" "No." " Laura?" "Hanna?" " Hey!" "I'm looking for a holiday companion for you, not a wife." "Wasn't the plan that we go together?" "You think I'm scary somehow?" "You?" "Yes." "Very scary." "Why don't men approach me?" "Is it something I..." "Ever try approaching them yourself?" "Go pick someone up yourself if it's so easy." "Maybe I will." "Good- looking, eh?" "What?" "When was this taken?" "What, you can't just go and..." "Why not?" "It was some time ago." "I need something more than the gym." "I'm not losing any weight." "We'll never go on that holiday if you're waiting to get in beach shape first." "Hi." " Hi." "You were looking at me?" "You were looking at me." "I was looking at those." "These?" "Don't tell anyone, I plan to steal these." " If you don't tell I plan to steal this." "If the going gets rough, I'll cover your back." "Cute." " Don't you think?" "Wanna get together some day?" "Why not." "Give me your phone." "I'll put down my address." "My place, Wednesday, 7 pm." "45 minutes, sex only." "I don't want to know anything about you or tell you anything about myself." "No commitment, no soul searching." "And certainly no Facebook friendship." "But if it works out well, we can meet, like..." "Once a week, same time." "What do you say?" "Ok, show up or don't." "And hey, I'm Ella." " Stigu." "Well? "Way to go."" "Not for me." "When I compare you to our other women's start- up funding applicants" "I have to say..." "Ella." "I've rarely seen such a complete and exact business plan." "Vintage clothing store?" "It says here it's not the first time you're applying." "Is it against the rules?" "Four years ago you suddenly withdrew your application..." "I can assure you that won't happen this time." "You had a business partner back then?" " I don't anymore." "But there's one thing missing." "There should be enough capital." "Why not put that on the computer?" " Computers crash." "Diaries disappear." " Mine won't." "You need some experience in heading a project." "I know someone who's looking for a temporary project manager." "I'll do it." "Are family values important to you?" "Very important." "Excellent." "I'd feel funny about offering this to you otherwise." "It's a pretty far stretch from your business plan." "So you'll do it and deliver me the job reference by July 7th- when we'll meet here again." "I'll have the funding set up for you." " Ok." "You wanted to see me?" "Yes." ""BMW, the car of your dreams?"" "Not the world's most brilliant idea." "The clients seemed pleased." "Because they know your work, like everyone else." "It just needs a little fine- tuning still." "Are you tired?" " No." "But you were late?" "Won't happen again." "It's good to chill out sometimes." "But not for any longer period." "I was at this open mic night where people perform their own poems." "I've been writing a bit of poetry in my pastime." "Good for you." "Poetry rules." "Don't they say, nobody's born a poet- you have to live the kind of life..." "And it does take a bit more than a series of slogans." "Anything else?" "I should get back to work." "A young man should have hobbies." "Keeps the mind alert." "It's just a bit of scribbling." "But this isn't poetry club." "BMW is our most important client for the longest time." "If they hear they've trusted millions in marketing budget with some Neruda..." "I'm not Neruda." " No, you aren't." "So focus on what you know."

"Working for you and your loved ones:" "The Family Federation." "It's a perfect job for me." "I'm glad." "I was worried we'd never find anyone with such short notice- but Raija assured me you can handle it." " Of course." "Now I can concentrate on the essential this summer: boating." "Good for my astral aura, that serene sound of waves." "So the pieces fall in place, splish splash." "You may have to work some evenings." "Evenings Ok with you?" "All except Wednesdays." "Hi." "Wanna grab a beer?" "Not a good time." "Where are you?" " My first jiu-jitsu class." "Your what?" "Jiu-jitsu." "Aha." "See you in 15 minutes?" " No, it's Wednesday." "You have plans." "I said it was not for me." "Yeah, right." "Hi." " Hi." "You're punctual." " If there's a good reason." "Come in." "There you are." "Thanks." "Nice place." "45." "Square meters?" "Looks bigger." " I meant minutes." "So you said." "Nice dollhouse, very detailed." " Ok if I'm on top?" "Excuse me?" " Or do you want to be on top?" "From behind's Ok too, but..." "I usually come the easiest if I'm on top." "I have no problem... with coming." "I'll come." " Got it." "I'll be on top then." "Ok if we don't do oral sex this time?" "No." " Oh?" "I mean it's Ok if we don't." "I have nothing against it." "It just seems a little..." "This being our first time, and all." " I agree." "Good." "Let's see how it goes- and then we can both decide if we want to continue with this." "Kind of like a test drive." "Test drive?" "Tell me if you feel weird about this." "45 minutes?" "43 and a half?" "Ok." " Ok." "No!" "Sorry, I forgot..." "If you stop now, this ends here." "Didn't you say you wanted to be on top?" "Don't talk..." " No." "Same time next week?" "So the test drive went fine?" " Fair enough." "Wanna go for a coffee?" "The deli downstairs..." "With you this could actually work." "Absolutely." "The problem with these things is that no matter what the deal is- the other one starts to ask you out for coffee and stuff." "That's... outrageous." "A deal's a deal." " Exactly." "This arrangement just suits my situation in life the best." "Mine too." " Good." "Cheerio." " Bye." "Cheerio?" "Way to go." "oat-based weight control drink" "Hi." "Sorry... hi." "Time for one more?" "Final cut just came in from the production company." "Play it." "Excellent!" "Excellent!" "Very impressive!" "My own little brainchild..." "That really was our style." "A bit more than just humor..." "And how old are you?" "Almost... 25." "Anna, about that BMW..." " Hi." "I'm here now that..." "I know it was your room, but I'll treat it like my own." "You're you and kind of getting old." "I don't mean your age, just that I respect you." "I could try to put in a good word for you with Jussi." "Jussi decided to pair me up with little Nicke." "Nothing I can do." " But I can." "You know how it goes." " How?" "You're only as good as your last job." "Which won five awards for us." "I know." "I've been here 20 years, never counted the hours I put in." "It's not that I don't respect you- but you're not the first one to burn out at your age." "Burn out?" "And the clients wanted Nicke." "It was a great spot." "You can't deny that." "BMW was my client." "There's this one low budget campaign." "I'll go get the material for you." "Meanwhile you could go do that test." "It's a bit embarrassing that nobody's had the time to do it." "Test yourself, fatso." "And don't try calling me!" "I could switch fields altogether." "What's on your mind?" "How long is fire- fighter school?" "You're in retirement age for that." "But while we're here, there's something I need to tell you." "I want to do something concrete." "Something with my hands." "If it's a change of life you need..." " It could be voluntary work." "Working voluntarily for others." "One would like to leave some kind of a mark behind..." "Something to be remembered by." "A UNICEF ambassador..." "You mean like Bono?" "I'm not sure about voluntary work." "I could go to India." "Meditate in some dark hut alone." "But after our trip, of course." "It's not that serious." "I've been meaning to tell you..." "I'm going to become a father." "Saara's already pretty far into her pregnancy." "So that trip of ours isn't going to happen." "I know I'm dropping a real bombshell on you." "And this is an end of an era." "On the other hand it's also..." "The beginning of a new life." "The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning." "Most people would think that a deal like this can't work in the long run." "Most people don't know jack shit." "They'd say that one or the other is bound to start wanting more." "They'd start for example leaving things behind- to get an excuse to come over to fetch them." "It's only human of course, but it complicates things." "Wasn't the deal no soul- searching?" "So... bye." "Sorry if I offended you." "You had that campaign for me?" "Yes, I did." "But do I still?" "I'm really sorry about what I said." ""Fine it is for a man to ski with a friend skiing by his side." "The track is opened up for him." "But even finer it is to ski alone." Know the poem?" "By Eino Leino?" "And still in a class of his own." "I have this shoestring budget campaign." "But you don't do those?" "I might have had a small burn out." "But it only lasted a few days." "Kind of like a flu." "I'm not sure this campaign's quite up your alley." "You know I'll do a spot about anything." "Even these, second- hand." "Well, it's in the same subject range." "Basically the client probably wants something safe and sound- but we won't cater to that now." "You'll turn it into something bold and sexy." "But the bottom line is this is your last chance." "Our top copywriter, Stigu Mertala." "Stigu, meet the Family Fed team." "Kikka Helenius." "This is our project manager, Ella Sadeoja." "New on the team, but a top- notch professional." "Hi." "You know each other?" "Yes..." "Or no." "I mean we've met." " Once, at that..." "A friend of a friend..." "That's right." "Great." "Together you'll do a campaign for us on sustainable relationships." "Communication, respect, daily life, compassion." "The four factors of sustainable relationships developed by FF." "These factors only scratch the surface of a subject- that is very broad and complex." "Make your relationship purr." "Hey, hello?" "Anyone listening?" "Stigu, what's as important to us as breathing?" "Dreaming." "Love, relationships, are the pillar of our whole society." "Exactly." "We here at the agency feel very passionate- about this particular campaign." " Great." "I really had no idea you were involved." "I'm supposed to believe that?" " It's the truth." "I had no idea." "Hi." "Nicke Masalin." " Ella Sadeoja." "Great dress." "Authentic Dior, from..." "Let me guess, - 52 or - 53?" "Sorry, we're kind of in the middle..." " I understand." "But hey, cool dress." "And you're cool too." "How about that Masalin guy?" "What about him?" "I'm thinking that under the circumstances- it might be better if someone else was handling this." "I wouldn't recommend that." "He's barely in his twenties." "No experience on the subject." "And you're a great expert on sustainable relationships?" "As much as you are on families." "They're very close to my heart." "We'll do a great spot." "Been a long time since I've believed in a job this much." "FF doesn't want anything quirky, they want something safe and sound." "Absolutely." " Good." "What about Wednesdays?" " Fine by me." "Ok, we'll continue the same way." " Ok." "Feel it." "I can see it." "Hey, Stigu." "Good morning." "Looks like I'm the first one of us who had the nerve to do this." "Go ahead, feel it." " No." "Just feel it." "I'm on this colon cleansing fast, doing my fifth triathlon this fall." "You can test me too." "Have you already had a go at that FF project manager?" "Can you move over?" "I would have, if I were you." "BMW, the car of your life." " It can be that." "If you steal, don't make it worse." "Another nice slogan." "I don't remember anything unless I write it down in my diary." "Listen, do you have anything tonight?" "We have a meeting scheduled?" "No, I just thought we could throw some ideas around." "Just testing that you're sticking to the deal." "I won't let that usual shit happen." "Saara and I have agreed that we're not going to move to the suburbs." "So it's not such a drastic change." "What do you think, does your relationship purr?" "Excuse me?" " Does your relationship purr?" "Ever think about anything other than work?" "Sorry." "So, you got a crib for the baby yet?" "Yep." "So, are Wednesdays still on?" "Yep." "I think I need a personal trainer." "I'm just not enough on my own." "I'm not strong enough." "The thing is..." "Saara and I want you to be the baby's godfather." "Sorry, gotta run." "I'll call you." "This is Pete." "Personal trainer in relationships." "Ella and I came up with this." "Pete measures the state of the relationship- the so- called body fat index of love." "Then he prepares a training program according to the four factors." "Can Pete fly as well?" "Where do all the problems in a relationship culminate?" "Where?" "Where do they culminate?" "In the bedroom!" "Picture the TV commercial." "People of different ages, men and women." "People of different sizes, in bed." "They all have one thing in common." "They're not doing well." "Cut from couple to couple, then the text: "Is this your life?"" "Followed by another text:" ""Or could it be this?"" "Quick flashes, fast cuts." "The same couples, making passionate love." "Sweat pouring, flesh moving." "And soon we hear them screaming out loud." "And it ends in a good old orgasm collage, like in "Amelie"." "We cut from couple to couple, scream to scream, and then the text:" "I guarantee you half a million clicks during the first week." "And a month later the joyous message has spread like wildfire." "I'm sure Pete's a very competent guy." "I just don't know if FF has the resources- to solve all the relationship problems in the world." "But imagine how envious the world will be- when Pete locates the G-spot in Finland." "Guess what the slogan is?" "Did I ask you to locate the G- spot?" "Were my instructions unclear?" " No." "Now focus." "Focus on Finnish relationships alone." "You don't have a family either, Mertala?" "Hey, I have an idea." "Why don't the two of you come and spend an evening on the boat with us?" "Learn what a regular Finnish relationship is all about." "Hey, wait!" "Are you trying to ruin this on purpose?" "Just doing my job." "This isn't what we agreed on." "The ad agency usually takes a leading role in planning the project." "From now on we do the planning together." "Factors." "Tractors?" "Actors?" "Reactors?" "So an actor drives a tractor- by a reactor." "Slogan: "Act or be reduced to a factor."" "Or how about a simple rooster and hen theme?" "What did the rooster say to the hen?" ""Stand by your chick."" "It has it all: nurturing, humor, relationships." "So come up with something better yourself." "I will if you stop staring." "Or a basic cheese counter scene?" "A what?" "The man wants creamy Swiss, the woman wants low-fat." "Which one of them gives in?" "Why can't they get both?" "Know how much cheese costs nowadays?" " No." "Friends." "Do we hang out with your friends or my friends?" "Or household chores." "Who does what?" "That's a good one." "Or holidays, how are they spent?" "With whom?" "Or building a house together." "That sure puts a strain on the relationship." "Or..." "Ella!" "Ahoy!" "I'm so glad you made it after all." "Step on board." "This is Teppo." "Hi, I'm Stigu." "I'm Ella." "I thought it would do you good to spend some time with an ordinary family." "So, let's hear it." "What have you come up with?" "We've been giving a lot of thought to your brand." "That is... from a new basis." " Exactly." "Teppo, no!" "Can't you do the dishes properly?" "Just this once when we have guests?" "Yes, chief." "And?" "There's this couple..." " Sounds good." "And they're by the cheese counter..." "Sorry..." "Hello?" "I'll just catch my breath, before the chief issues another order." "I know the secret of a sustainable relationship." "Feel free to steal this." "It started 10 years ago." "Now I go there every night." "An elevator gets me there." "A whole other world opens up." "Don't tell Kikka, but I have another woman in that parallel reality." "In my dreams." "Teppo!" "My mom's in hospital!" "We have to go." "She fell from a ladder." "Aha." "We won't be long." "See that the boys don't drown." "What the fuck?" "What the fuck?" "I'll have to wash your mouth with soap." " Shit!" "Swords down!" "Let's play being quiet." " Fuck, fuck..." "Who wants to play shark hunting?" "Ok, boys, are you ready?" "Yes!" "Is the shark ready?" "Yes." "It's coming." "And then we shoot." "Fire!" "Where's the shark?" "Fire!" "Pirates?" "Ok." "Teppo, they're sleeping like angels." " Uh- uh." "With you it would still be a total zoo." "What's unique about my business plan- is that it's not just a vintage store." "Each customer also gets a book- from the same year as the garment they buy." "Or maybe a poem or just a page from a book." "With a message I've chosen myself." "You could name the shop Rags and Rhymes." "Might need a little rethinking." "But hey, here it is." "They said they'd hold it for me until I get the funding cleared." "I'll have mannequins in the corner, dressed in evening gowns." "Bags and jewelry go over there." "I want the sewing machine in the shop itself." "That way I can talk with the customers while working." "What?" " Go on." "As soon as you stop staring." "I wasn't staring." "Yes, you were." "No, I was paying attention." "And I want a birdcage here so..." "You were staring again!" "I should head that way, I live right around the corner." "I live over there." "But you know that already." "Good night." " Good night." "Wait!" "Give me your shirt." "I can mend it." "It's what I do." "A friend of my friend..." "It was a long time ago." "She was very much in love and she dropped out of school- moved to Helsinki to be with the guy." "They were going to start a business together- and maybe a family too." "As soon as she had finished unpacking she found out- that the guy had a wife and child all along." "That's something even the Family Federation could never fix." "Bye." " Bye." "Hi, sorry." "That's Ok." "I was at the supermarket." "All the single and childless guys go there at this hour." "I spotted a really cute guy- somewhere between the salmon and pike perch." "I followed him to frozen foods and then he turned around a kissed- his boyfriend." "I wasn't exactly turned on." "Unlike you, it seems." "Stigu just had a little accident on the job." "Figured it's only fair I mend this, since it is what I do." "Accident?" "Meaning that you've fallen in love with him?" "You're so wrong." "Hi." " Good morning." "So, any new ideas?" "I got great pictures of the boys." "There's a lot of these pirate pictures." "Now where's that one..." "We really should have something solid together by now." "Listen." "A friend of my friend started thinking rather late in life about- how he will know if he's met the right woman." "And then..." " Do you know those people?" "Hi, this is Ella." "Ella, meet the gang." "Nice to meet you." " Hi." "I'm Karri." "Are you Stigu's...?" "We know each other from work." "Yes, from work." "From work." " From work." "What happened to you?" "This guy tried a collar choke on me." "I disagreed." "In jiu-jitsu." "Come sit with us." "Nothing you ain't seen before." "Stigu and Taru used to date." "A very long time ago." "A very long time ago." "Taru got a stomach flu in the Maldives." "When shit started flying in the hotel room, Stigu flew home." "Work emergency." "Remember that girl, Mira?" "You left her with us when you had a vision in the middle of the night." "She cried so much she almost choked." "And Milla whom you invited for a romantic weekend in the wilds." "And then forgot to come and join her." "Sorry if we interrupted your..." " It's Ok." "We've been actually doing some research on this same subject." "We're doing a spot for the Family Federation on sustainable relationships." "I have to take a leak." "About that godfather thing..." "Saara's been asking." "That Maldives trip was ten years ago." "He was just kidding around..." "Can't I decide for myself what to tell her or not." "Me me me." "All you care about is yourself." "Hey, Stigu." "How's the amazing world of relationships?" "Junior here is on fire." "I have a feeling we'll be getting a new flagship for the agency soon." "Congratulations." "Could take us all the way to Cannes." "We'll see." "Unless you have something even better up your sleeve." "I..." "Yes?" "Stigu, let me know if I can help." "No." "He does look really tired." "I could take over the FF campaign." "I've got BMW pretty much covered." "Man, you're fast." "Like with that recycling spot." "What about it?" "You haven't heard?" "Jussi, have you heard?" "What are you saying?" "Everyone knows." "You really haven't heard?" " Not a word." "That's interesting." "One week, and my recycling idea was stolen." "Stigu, you're out of line." "You think I stole you're idea?" "It seems like quite a coincidence." " Boys!" "Are you saying I go around stealing people's ideas?" "Is that what you're saying?" "Fuck you!" "I have my own ideas." "I don't need to steal!" "You assured me you were capable of- taking responsibility of the whole project." "Let's give him a few more minutes." "Ok." "That was that." "Hi." "Wife carrying." "Perfect metaphor for a relationship." "We'll do a spot and prints." "Should there be a hyphen?" "Are we doing a grammar book here?" "A couple struggles towards the finish line, regardless of all the obstacles." "It's as absurd as that body fat index idea of yours." "Love is absurd." "Nobody can explain why they suddenly feel like..." "We haven't got the budget for it." "We'll shoot it in Sonkajärvi- at the Wife Carrying World Championships." "Small and cheap film crew." "We'll harness all the free publicity- for the Family Federation's benefit." "Internationally this is" "In the same class as Santa Claus, Nokia or Angry Birds." "Where would you get the actors?" " From among the FF staff." "Personal dedication to the FF cause." "Everyone's away on vacation." "Ella and I." "Sorry, but I think this idea is..." " Brilliant!" "We'll do it!" "Amazing!" "It's a bit different from what I had in mind- but who cares." "You're the professionals." "This really isn't in my job description." "So it's not going to happen then?" " I just..." "You two decide amongst yourselves- whether this will happen or not." "I have to make a call." "I expect an answer when I get back." "I'm not giving my face to the Family Federation ad." "If you've got your whole future riding on this- so do I." "This could be the last job I'm ever offered." "I thought you were the agency's top copywriter?" "Everyone wins if we do this." "Help me." "Ok, I'll go get her." "FUNDING MEETING JULY 7th" "So when's the contest?" "July 7th." "This project's so important to the Federation" "I'll put my vacation on hold and make sacrifices same as you." "What else can we do?" "Tickles." "Hi." " Hi." "There's something I need to tell you." " Me too." "I want to stop Wednesdays." " Me too." "I never thought this would happen." "You've been, like, the other man all along." "Because I'm really married... to my company and business plan." "You Ok with that?" " Sure." "We'll get the job done, of course." " Of course." "Good." "Hello." "What?" "Way to go." "Enough." "I should probably..." "Karri?" "Thanks." "Sorry." "I was with Karri." "Long night." "It's going to be a very long ride." "500 kilometers." "WELCOME" "Hi." "Mertala and Sadeoja." "Which one is this for?" " Only one key per cabin." "But we booked two cabins." "What's the big deal?" "Plenty enough room for two." "We're kind of fully booked." "Which one do you want?" " I can take that one." "Why you?" "You can have it if you want." "You said you wanted it." "You asked, I answered." "I don't care either way." "WIFE CARRYING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS" "How do you know all these people?" "Hi, are you Timo?" "Come with me." "Sussu!" "Hi." "You remembered my name!" "We fucked a few times in the barn as teenagers, used to date." "I wasn't expecting the love story of the century- but I was a bit put off when he told me point blank he was leaving." "Wanted to move to Helsinki." "He was Timo when he left, before he became Stigu in the city." "When a man has to go..." "But you could have dropped a line at some point." "It was 20 years ago." "He put on a beret and set out to write poems." "Haven't seen a book from you, you must be doing something else?" "Well, I found a way go." "Don't wet your pants over this." "Sweet or savory?" "You're from around here?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't ask." "From Timo to Stigu?" "Timo does sound a bit like..." "Timo." "While Stigu is more..." "Stigu." "There's the start and finish line." "The moat is a real killer, there's no water in it yet." "It's enough if we film during that straight stretch and the finish line." "That I refuse to do." "It's actually quite comfortable." " No way." "Giddyup." "Give it a try." " Giddyp?" "Country boy and proud of it." "On the back you go." "No, no, no." "This won't work." "I'm falling!" "I'm falling!" "We're doing great." "Let go of me!" "Put me down!" "I get to decide when my head is against your ass." "We're from Helsinki." "Timo!" "I thought you looked kinda familiar." "Ella, this is my dad." "Hi." "Look who I got tagging along." "He stuck you here?" "On purpose, so I don't get to keep an eye on him." "No point in running off if she can't come chasing after me." "Wouldn't chase you even if I could fly." " Easy now..." "Ella." "Here for a bit of wife carrying?" " Doing an ad for the Family Federation." "Yes, an ad." "We never suspected otherwise." "Rogue Ronkainen was a bandit chief." "He'd storm into town and steal the women away on his back." "Wouldn't say steal." "That's how the tradition started." "Today they'd throw you in jail for that." "But here we've turned him into a national hero." "They say the women resisted just for show." "Ronkainen was known as a skilled lover." " Purely legend." "He was a bull for a man." "Wouldn't say bull." "He sure as heck was." "Had that glint in the eye." "You were around in the 1800s?" "Your parents seem nice." " Can't complain." "Have you still been writing poems?" " Not seriously." "Why not?" "If it was your big dream when you were young." "I guess I've been busy or something." "It's a useless dream because it could never lead anywhere." "Does everything always have to lead somewhere?" "Can't believe I'm hearing that from you." "What do you write about?" "Dunno." "Myself, I guess." " Read me a poem of yours." "No way." " Please, I want to hear." "For once I try to be romantic." " Romance wasn't part of our deal." "We won't film until the second round, the finals." "You just watch for now." "Ella, see you at the finish line." "The first round's just for warm- up." "We'll film on the next round." "What if we don't make the next round?" "We can't count on that." "Three couples go to the finals." "We can't lose to these guys." "But we have to get the spot done." " I've been doing ads for 20 years." "What's your body fat index?" "What are you doing here?" "Robbing you of your place in the finals." "You'd better listen to your woman." "Once you've screwed this up" "I can steal this concept from you as well." "We have to film this round already!" "Great, you made it to the finals." "How could you fall when I..." "What are you saying?" "Why did you have to fall..." "Can't be true." "What is it?" "They've tried to call me about the funding." "Hi, it's Ella Sadeoja." "I just wanted to check when we were scheduled to meet." "Today?" "I have no idea how this happened." "I don't have it in my diary." "I understand there's a fixed deadline..." "I know you can't make exceptions but..." "But..." "Ella..." "I have to tell you something." "Let me explain." "You only cared about your career." "We have to go to the finals." "Come, please." "You know how many years I've been working to have my own business?" "If you cared about me- you wouldn't have ruined the most important thing in my life." "I thought we'd..." "All you think about is yourself." "I'm not surprised you haven't managed to do what you want." "Writing poems." "Who wants to read poems- by a selfish, lying shit like you?" "And I'm not surprised that boyfriend of your friend's friend- dumped her for another woman, if cheese was a major issue." "So you were let down once." "You're behaving like it's a world tragedy." "Our chance is gone, and so is my patience!" "The finals are over and we have nothing on film- since you two didn't care to show up." "How are you going to sort this out?" "You will not be getting a reference for me, not for anything." "I don't want to see you ever again." "Wait!" "Happy birthday!" "How about we watch this home video our neighbor filmed?" "There on the back straight I was almost ready to quit- but I thought to myself:" "It's not a shame to lose but it's a shame to give in." "It's awesome." "This is awesome." "TO LET" "It's not a shame to lose but it's a shame to give in" "I think it's..." "Amazing!" "Absolutely amazing." "Right on." "Down to earth and warm." "Yes." "The times we live in- it's these real emotions and experiences that count." "Right on." "I need to speak to you." "Move your foot away." "I took care of that Family Fed job and..." "Come with me, I want to show you something." "Your foot!" "Please, just listen." "I have..." " I don't want anything from you." "I have your diary." "I couldn't find the exact same lamp- as in your scale model." "Will that one do?" "We own this together now." "I put all my savings in this." "Do you really believe that everything can be bought?" "I screwed up." "Wasn't my first time." "Or last." "But I'm sure that if I've ruined what was between us- it's the biggest mistake I've ever made." "If I understood things correctly- what happened during that trip... what we had..." "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." "If you don't say something soon" "I'll have to say it again with a song." "Ok, let's go." "Here God comes close to us, gives us His blessing." "Which is why christening is for us a moment of- silence, wonder and thankfulness." "Way to go." "Way to go." "We'll still get to go on that trip some day." "There's something I really need to do." "If I only knew how." " I think you do." "Creamy Swiss, please, and something low-fat." "Hey!" "You're not planning to leave it there?" "!" "He'd make a good man for you, quiet and toilet-trained." "You walking on grass..." "You walking on grass barefooted." "The most important observation in my life as it stands." "And I can't speak, because I just ate my words." "So I decide to approach you in a letter." "It's a bit chilly here but otherwise things are fine." "I saw a woman in the crowd and thought it was you." "I waved..." "I waved back and walked towards you." "When I got closer, she was hugging someone else." "Soon I couldn't tell anyone apart from your face." "All the songs on the radio were songs about you." "At night I looked for you under the bed and in the pillow." "In the morning I decided:" "I've had enough." "I'll plant an apple tree in your yard- and wait underneath it until you show up." "Ehm..." "PS." "This is very naive, very simple." "I love you." "Timo." "Amazing." "I've followed your advice for two weeks and stopped looking." "I'm still waiting for the promised miracle." "Mr Right isn't going to land into my lap from the heavens.?"
