" What the hell are you doing?" " Chasing my clients away?" "You think just because we've lain" "Is it like that, now?" "Don't poke your nose" "Do you think girls wake up" "No!" "They grow up dreaming" "Then they let themselves" "They make some money." "One of them can get you" "So you talk dirty," "Then one day you realise" "You think about something else," "In the end you get used to it   and it's quite normal to stick" "It's all gotten so complicated since" "The band, love songs," "That was the most" "No one has ever chased someone" "Yeah..." "Let's make that demo, Willy." "I learned the tunes." "...with everything." "It's rolling." "Okay, we're ready..." "Flemming, get over here," "Shut the fuck up, Svend." "Okay..."

"I bought two for each of us." "I was wondering..." "How's your money situation?" " How it is?" " I've got a date with Mik today." "Do you think I could borrow" " You want to borrow money?" "When you take a kid" " Willy..." "Aren't we like lovers?" "Lovers don't borrow money" " Jesus, it's just 20 euro." "Lovers share things and look out" "And there are rules." "Can't we eat the steaks" "You've got to act nice, Willy." "I'll give this demo to Bagger," "I want to speak with Bagger." " He's at a meeting in town." "His office?" "That's where" "May I ask what your name is?" " Hannah." "Hannah Møler." " I think you're a great secretary." "Good, Hannah." "And who have we here?" " Willy." "Willy's the one who was cheeky" " and Willy sneaked himself in." "And why did" "Willy has a band..." "That sounds exciting." " "Willy has a band called Winstons."" ""And they made a demo."" "And Willy would sure" "A demo..." "And say:" " What's happening, man?" " Why not?" "Because the name "Winstons" sucks." "Because the bitch I'm banging" "Because you sneaked into" "Because..." "Because life is hard," ""Winstons"." "Sometimes I wonder" "What doesn't kill us" " What?" " Don't you know Nietzsche?" " Can't we just play?" "I'm trying to cut down." "My girlfriend wants me to." " I think I've fallen in love with her." "Love's a trip." "It can make you" "Congratulations," " Can't we just play?" "I was pronounced" "I'd taken a lot of acid and shit," "The doctor says to my girlfriend:" " They can measure things like that." "I sat up in bed and said:" " Shut the fuck up, Svend!" "I'm not talking to you." "I forgot" " Do you guys like steak?" "Piss...!" "Shit!" "I know." "I know, Susanne." "Mogens took him to the movies" "God dammit!"

"I can understand" "I've got a present for you," "It's a very particular gift." "Here." "Just open it." "It's John Lennon." "Look at that autograph there." "I've had it for a hundred years." " I don't really know who he is." "I think you've mentioned him," " You know the Beatles, don't you?" "When am I going" "Really soon." " We're going to be on TV, man." "We're going to be on TV." "Me and" "That's why I've been" " It was supposed to be a surprise." " Mikkel, come in now." " I've never known anyone on TV." "What?" "Do you think" "Have a great time, Willy." "I've been thinking..." " I think it's Plan C." "Plan A was Gunnar, Plan B was" "Shut the fuck up, Svend," "On the 26th Bettina and Willy" "Willy tells Bettina" "Bettina goes up to Bagger with a" "But he can see" "But before ...we've got to find a new name." " We've always been called Winstons." "But now we're going" " Now we're going to brainstorm." "Just start throwing out names." "When you're brainstorming," "Can't we just" "Can't you just" "You don't really think we should" ""Brainstorm"?" "Just shove the CD in his face." " Willy?" "I don't know if you noticed, but" "Oh... okay." "I've left a message on my voice mail" "Because..." "I'm completely confused," " and thinking of" "Willy..." "Maybe I'm ready for" "I think... we can try" " We'll just see what happens." "Of course." " What the hell's happened to you?" "I told him I was a musician and" " Now everything's going to work out." "Fuck those French fries!" "Your invitation?" "I'll have one of those..." "He's fucking got" "I'm just going" " Hi." "Hi, secretary." "Hi, again." "Now we're" " Where's the boss?" "There's someone really famous" " Oh, right." " See you later, secretary." " Hi." "It's him, over there..." "You go over and talk to him and say" "Now take the CD and go." "What the hell, chief?" " What?" "Didn't we have a deal?" "Yes, we did... but..." "Then I got leukaemia." "That's why I'm sitting down." "It's because of the chemo." "I'm sorry to hear it." " I'll call you if I get well." " What happened?" " What?" " What's the problem with that faggot?" "He'd be happy to listen to it" " What?" "Did he say that?" "Bad boy, Willy." "I hope you're not thinking" "What?" "No, no, no..." "I promised Mikkel we'd be on TV." "I know it was dumb," "I promised, and there's nothing" "You used to do it for money." " Then tell me to do it." "You have to ask me." "Then get it over with." "See you, Willy." " Howdy." "Something you want to ask?" "Are you okay?" "I drank and danced and cried" "They're really good at crying." "I didn't do it, Willy," "I know what I used to do," "It's possible to have a girlfriend" " but you can't" " I was really drunk..." "I know." "It won't happen again." "There are very strict rules." "Suddenly there's an attraction" "It's crazy, and you" "Other times it's just the opposite." " Where are you going?" " Where to?" "You'd better be out of here" "Bettina?" "You should have" "There's something" "I'm your friend, Willy." "The kind who has a sofa ready" "What I have," "I'm your friend." "I know, Svend." "Then stop telling me" "I actually don't like" "I'll stop." "I'm not a Henning Bagger." "I'm sure" "But..." "Does this have" "No." "We're just a couple of" "Where are you going?" "I have to speak with him." "And you're right." "But I have to speak with him." "I..." "I don't have" "No backup girls," "...and we're not going to be" "I wasn't in Germany" "I was in prison, and I've been" " because I did bad things" " that weren't mine." "I pretended I was someone else," "Your father's" "I know." "It doesn't matter." "That's got to be one of the nicest" "But you could write" "Yes, of course." "There are some rules between" "I am learning them." "I've been" "And I'm jealous" "Mogens is nice." "But I'm your father." "I don't like it when you don't come" "No." "I've got to learn those rules." " Can't you speak German, either?" "No, I sure can't." "But you can hear me play" "I'd like that." "Excuse me." "Is this" "I haven't been there before." "It's because I'm a singer." "And New York is really big," " and I'm sure I don't have" " You've got to have dreams." "Sometimes you forget that." "I'd forgotten, and then" "And now" "I'm just going to do it." " Two minutes." " It's just a school party." "But Ballerup's a big school" "Yeah, yeah." "Almost a thousand." "I'm a better singer these days." "If you don't give it 100 percent," " We're on." "Are you ready?" "Whaddaya say, Ballerup?" "Subtitles:" "Steve Schein"
