"The first hit makes you feel heavy." "The second gives you wings." "Christ!" "Hi there." "Sorry." "We meant to clean up before you came home." "Where were you?" "The others got so drunk." "I had to get some fresh air." "I can understand that." "You were asleep when I got home." "Ernst gave me some cold medicine." "It knocked me out." "I'll start cleaning." "And I'll paint that wall again, of course." "OK." "I'm going to jump in the shower." "It's a cruel world - or a kind one." "Depending on how you're doing." " Ready?" " No." " Does he still live here?" " Relax." "I've met him before." "I don't think he'll cause any trouble." " Mia?" " Coming!" "I need a little help here." "Hi." "Hi." "It sure is good to see you, son." "Let's go home." "Come on." "Hello!" "Is there anybody in there?" "OK, let's go." " Picking up your family?" " Yes." "Good." "Family is important." "And Dorina?" "Much better." "Take care of her for me, Benedikt." "I can't." "I'll come when I can." "OK." "I didn't expect to see you here today." "(Malin responds in Finnish)" "I didn't see that coming." "And thanks for redecorating my living room." " Thank you." " Don't mention it." "I missed you a lot." "Really?" "I have thought about you every single day." "You can stay at my place if you want." "I won't be there." "Dorina's in the hospital and I can stay at Ernst's." "That sounds great." "Look at this!" " That isn't mine." " I know." "I grabbed it from the hall." "I almost forgot how crazy you are." "I almost forgot how crazy I am about you." "Hi." "I thought I was in bad shape." "And you didn't even drink." "Want to curl up next to my shoes?" "Funny." "Can I come in?" "Where did you go last night?" "I ... went for a walk." "You went for a two-hour walk?" "It got a little overwhelming, being the only sober one." "By the way, I texted Dag." "Said we'll repaint everything, and all that." "I told him the same thing." " Where were you?" " I went for a ..." "A walk?" "How long have we known each other?" "A long time." "I can tell when you're lying." "Fine, I won't nag." "I slept with someone." "During your own bachelorette party?" "Just before marrying my brother?" "Who?" "That's irrelevant." "Why?" "Because I got scared." "I felt pressed into a corner." "About to structure my life in a way I'm not sure I want." "Like someone's locking the door to the world and throwing away the key." "I got scared." "You're the one who wanted to get married, Eva." "What the hell is your problem?" "Huh?" "Shit!" "Have you told him?" "No." "So it's a mental morning gift for yourself?" "Something to leave unsaid?" "The only reason to tell him would be to clear my own conscience." "I don't ..." "I don't want to make him unhappy." "It meant nothing." "I did it, and I have to live with it" "And it will never happen again." "And you're sharing this with me because ...?" "I didn't come here to get yelled at, Marianne." "I did it." "Period." "My brother is marrying a man." "If this is so hard for you, tell him yourself." "I'm sure you've thought about that." "That I can do your dirty work." "As usual." "You had to run when things got serious." "God, you're pathetic!" "You have both barrels in your mouth,   and just have to pull the trigger every fucking time!" "Sorry for ruining your day." "Thanks for coming." "Talking to a piece of cardboard didn't work very well." "I should be counseling myself, but since you're the one person " " I have most in common with, I have a couple of questions." "I need to understand how we think." "We have spent some time on this topic." "I am about to get married and become a father." "One of those romantic dreams about "the rest of my life"." "But viewed from that chair, it looks like pure hell." "So let's start with the most important question:" "Is this the end of time to myself?" "Yes, to a certain extent." "Or you'll have to try to find it outside the home." "The problem is,   once we have kids, we want to be with them." "But that's hard work." "Which makes you more desperate for time alone." "And then you feel guilty when you're away." "It's dual answers like that that get us into trouble." "True." "Does life get any better by starting a family?" "It can be fantastic to come home to the pitter-patter of baby feet." "With your well-rested wife smiling in the hall." "Other days it's a strait-jacket,   and all you want to do is escape to some hotel and empty the minibar." "Are there no unambiguous answers?" "Not that I have been able to find." "And I have searched long and hard." "How about waking up   with the same person every single day?" "Having children can be the glue that keeps you together." "It connects you for life, no matter what." "And nostalgia has a tendency to block out reality." "Suddenly you're willing to compromise." "Yet you'll still argue about the most trivial things." "You're searching for answers that simply don't exist." "Maybe the goal is to think less." "Without feeling guilty." "I don't know." "Dammit!" "Anyway, thanks for dropping by." "Don't try talking to my secretary." "She's become a Finn." "The fact that we believe in something   doesn't divide us, it unites us." " Yes, Isak?" " Is polygamy acceptable?" " What do you mean?" " I've got lots of chicks." "I can't kick them all out because of this new religion." "If you're comfortable with your lives, so are we." "Our God judges no one." " But I didn't think you were Amish." " No, yeah, right." "It's that wool." "I couldn't handle it." "It itches like a motherfucker." "I was bowlegged as John Wayne for a week." "And not because of a horse." "A ton of women?" "I don't oppose that at all." "But that wool itches on my balls and ass!" "Is there any chance I could get electricity?" "Man created God, not the other way around." "Faith begins with us." "So it seems foolish to follow a faith   that makes life harder, spreads hatred." "Let us build a religion that unites us and brings us joy." "We are one and the same." "If we accept polygamy, so be it." " I disapprove." " That's fine too." "As long as we agree that our God does not judge,   but loves unconditionally." "We can disagree on how to live our lives, but our faith unites us." " Can I ask a question?" " Absolutely." "Appearance." "What ..." "What does our God look like?" "The Romans and Greeks had the best gods." "They all had swords, wine, chicks, and not least:" "Linen." "If you have read the Bible,  it says God created man in his own image." "So, yes." "Look around." "We are God." "You are God." " Am I God?" " Yes, Isak." " Oh, damn." " I think we're done for today." "I am God, you are God!" " Here is my rent." " Good." " When is your next meeting?" " Tuesday." " Thank you, that was lovely." " Good." "Good." "Good to see you again." "Sorry about that bicycle pump." "You're one to talk!" "You and your ..." "So, are you back in the homeland yet?" "Don't be so condescending." "I get Finnish flashbacks when I drink too much." "I'm fine now." "Guess I'll call it a night." "Head home to my wife and kids." "That's right." "Ernst called." "Are they back already?" "What's this?" "Sorry." "Finnish is still my written language." ""Bachelor party at Ernst's at 8 p.m."" "I don't want a bachelor party!" "Have fun." "Hulluja!" "Forget it." "Finnish is like Greek to me once I'm back to normal." " Hello?" " Hi, come in." "Hi!" "Thanks for last night." "Likewise." " You OK?" " Absolutely." "Just trying to get this damn to work." " I brought you some coffee." " Thanks." "And ..." "I want to   apologize for what happened last night." "I needed to feel like I had a life   that was different, and I used you." "So I want to apologize." "It won't happen again." "Is this why you came here?" "Yes." "Do I look devastated?" "No." "I made the first move." "And I sent you a text yesterday   that was more than a subtle hint." "And we were both easily swayed." "We both had a rough night." "And you were the easiest person for me to call." "So I did it." "OK, in that case ..." "Now what?" "First I am going to get rid of this." "I have an appointment tomorrow." "There's so much more I want to do." "I don't want any ties to Pål,   considering our history." "There's a big world out there." "And I only have one life." "Good luck." "Thank you." "And ..." "Good luck with your wedding." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Bye." "Is alcohol such a good idea?" "It's up to him, but if he wants to drink we should give him the option." "He should have it within reach." " Heard from Mia?" " They're at my place." "I stocked the fridge and found Alex' toys." "So everything is set there." "I'm sure the'll figure it out." "And will you figure it out?" " What, with Mia?" " Yes, Mia and Alexander." "And Dorina, who is still in the hospital, pregnant." " And you." " I can take care of myself." "But right now, a safe place to stay is more important for them than for me." "Let's deal with tomorrow tomorrow." "Right now   this is all that matters." "Right?" "Ernst, I have shaped up." "I will be responsible." "I promise." "I will take care of everyone I care about." "And never fuck up again." "But right now I'm about to lose another piece of my only friend." "Consider this   the last night with the guys." "Apple and pear trees were a-blooming" "Mist on the river floating" "Perhaps Katyusha will be remembered" "Perhaps before the year is over!" " So that's where we're at." " Hug?" "Sure." "Check this out, Dag." "Cool huh?" "OK, pops ..." "Open wide." ""Say hello to my little friend!"" " A Pez dispenser?" " Yeah!" "Only available for a few months in the '60s." "People choked when they shot themselves." "It's real." "Cost me a fortune." "But the coolest part is ..." "your old friend." "Recognize this?" "Mr. Valium." "So now, my dear friend, it's your turn." " No, I can't." " Your turn!" "Open wide, my friend!" "You aren't going to hit my mouth." "Where is it?" "This one, baby!" "Come on, it's fun!" "This is a bachelor party." "Ready?" "Almost!" "One more time." "I think that was my cue." " Cue?" " I didn't want a party." "Yesterday was enough." "But thanks for the initiative." " Where are you going?" " He wants to go home." "You can't leave now, Dag." "We have a stripper." "I know you said no naked chicks." "Look at that!" "Hi, guys." "Hi." "Have fun." "No, Dag!" "Don't go." "It's a bachelor party!" "Someone has to fuck the stripper!" " Hi." " Hi." " Home already?" " Yeah." "This is where I want to be." "With you." "I don't know why." "John F. Kennedy died at approximately 1:00 CST today, here in Dallas." "He died of a gunshot wound to the brain." "I have no ..."
