"Kinotar presents" "A SUBURBAN TALE" "Directed by Sakari Kirjavainen" "My name is Ben Laine." "I will help you through the day." "I know that you're anxious." "You've had nightmares or didn't sleep at all." "Count with me from three to one." "Three, two, one." "Good." "You can feel your entire body relax." "Make some coffee, Viljanen." "This is not funny..." "Multala!" "Viljanen will be your backup until Toropainen recovers from his cold." "Alarm!" "Alarm!" "Daycare center." "Breathe the light summer air." "Feel it caress each molecule in your body." "Repeat in your mind:" "I can do it." "I can do it." "I can do it." "Good." "Come out, Viljanen." "There are gas bottles in the basement." "We need more units!" "There are burning chemicals here." "Did you inhale smoke?" "This can't be true!" "Jesse Viljanen!" "Marjukka!" "What are you doing here?" "Viljanen!" "There are children inside." "I'll take care of it with Multala!" "Let's go." "Take some oxygen, firefighter." "You became a firefighter then." "Wait!" "I'll take a blood test." "I became a nurse." "We were pretty wild back then, right?" "It was a long time ago." "Marjukka!" "I always..." "Remember Kalevi Hakkarainen?" "He's my boyfriend now." "I still live in the same building." "Kalevi Hakkarainen?" "!" "Where did you find the kids?" "In a cold-storage room." "Damn you, Viljanen!" "You must've eyes in your ass too!" "Right!" "Bloody well done!" "I was just doing my work." "We won't forget this." "Yes!" "You're a goddam superman." "Women, beware!" "When was the last time you had sex?" "Wow!" "Alarm!" "Girls entering the sauna!" "Lusty Terhi here." "What's your pleasure?" "Well..." " Yes?" "I'm waiting." "Could you help me out here?" "I've never called these numbers before." "Then lately, I've often felt dizzy." "The test results are OK." "How is your social life?" "It's been a bit easier over the phone." "Everything seems to indicate - that you have severe exhaustion, in other words, burnout." "Take one of these in the morning." "Things are a bit better now." "Well, it varies, you see." "Any hobbies?" "No." "Relatives?" "No." "Wife?" "No." "There must be more to life than work." "Perhaps a small trip?" "Doctor's orders." "I know where I could go." "And forget the fires for a while." "Look..." "I've got one." "You do?" "This is part two." "JESSE SUCKS" "Greetings to the doctor." "Jerk!" "Hakkarainen!" "Take it easy, man!" "Fuck you." "Take it easy, moron!" "Peach." "Dad..." "It's Jesse." "Remember me?" "The prodigal son came for a visit." "You shouldn't scare an old man." "How's daddy?" "You've lost weight." "I thought I'd do some visiting." "Go ahead, I have work to do." "Visit you, I mean." "Didn't you used to smoke these at Christmas?" "It was a different brand." "Are you still working on your thesis about shopping bags?" "That's why we moved here." "Twenty years ago." "Don't touch them!" "It's my research material." "What do they tell you?" "They correlate with the changes in the gross national product." "Don't laugh." "Kids flush them down the toilet." "Which sewer do you dig to find these?" "The one at the waste water purification plant." "What brings you here?" "Doctor's orders." "Are you seeing a shrink?" "The other option was to see the monkeys in the zoo." "I should get these calculations done." "You're getting bald." "No of fence, dad." "Jesse!" "Marjukka told us what you did." "Garbage Jesse!" "Is he the one who saved the children?" "He's the man, Garbage Jesse!" "Don't." "How's the court?" "We're digging our own graves here." "Keep it, Superman." "Coffee, please." "It's on the house." "Thanks." "Where's Hakkarainen?" "I told him to get a job." "Said that to the King!" "He'd rather kill himself than get a job." "Let's drink to that!" "Hakkarainen is going to jump from the crane!" "Buy me a beer when you get down!" "What's this?" "You're off-duty." "I know him from way back." "Who am I to stop anyone?" "You want to exercise, fine." "Hakkarainen!" "Show us a somersault, faggot!" "You're a mountain lion!" "You'll always land on your feet!" "A career leap!" "Where did the tomato go?" "Show us a fucking triple lutz!" "Get back or I'll jump!" "No you won't." "Don't you know your old friends anymore, King?" "Garbage Jesse!" "Dammit..." "It's been a while." "Remember when you made me do chin-ups in the jib crane?" "I bloody well did." "Let's try it again." "Remember how you used to force me into the garbage can?" "Come back, I feel dizzy." "It'll be great to fall down once my muscles get tired." "It'll be such a relief." "How many can you do these days?" "Twenty?" "I don't feel like jumping anymore." "I want down." "I'll do a few more, I feel so great." "You ruined my show." "He's coming." "You've been named firefighter of the year." "Irma did this at the factory." "It's called The Flame Man." "It's fireproof and you can take it anywhere, even the sauna." "Come on, guys..." "Guys?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Where's Viljanen?" "Dear colleagues..." "Representatives of the TV..." "Distinguished Governor..." "I thank you on behalf of the fire brigade." "Let's hope that this publicity will bring us more funds." "Viljanen!" "Here." "The costume is a gift from his colleagues." "Congratulations, firefighter of the year:" "Jesse Viljanen." "Your turn to give a speech." "The kingdom of flames is powerless against my super strength." "Die, you flames!" "Are you alright?" "Sure." "After some strange turns, I've become The Flame Man." "Right..." "First, sick leave, then office duty with the girls." "But first, firefighter of the year"." "Jesse Viljanen." "Marjukka!" "Bring me another beer!" "Your old friend Jesse Viljanen is in the news!" "What next, firefighter of the year, Flame Man Jesse Viljanen?" "Home to Puotinharju." "I need to rest." "See my friends." "They must be proud of you." "I guess." "The flame performance we saw..." "What an earth is he wearing?" "Mom knows all the idiots..." "At home, I thought..." "My friends gave me the costume and I thought..." "Is it your inner flame that makes you do these things we just saw?" "I don't know about flames but I have dreams." "Jesse's nothing but dogshit from the garbage can!" "He saved your life." "Ostrich farmer Einu Palunen, your farm's been vandalized again." "What's all that noise?" "Look!" "Your things just flew out the window." "What?" "You're part of the scenery." "The air passes through, filling your entire body." "It flows out your finger tips." "Breathe with your toes to get the air into your toes." "The energy flowing in your toes fills you with vitality." "Your toes are laughing." "Good." "You're like air." "A cool breeze permeates your body." "You see a vision of divine beauty." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Who did this?" "The Freemasons?" "Are you from a bat lodge or something?" "Leave me alone." "Guys, I need help!" "Don't touch her!" "There's some wacko here, Peku!" "Are you fucking crazy or what?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Somebody was crying for help." "The bride was tied up, her clothes all torn." "I tried to help, but the Devil and Dracula attacked me." "Then they all just disappeared." "She was calling for help because the wackos had tied her up." "And she took off with them?" "Yeah." "Are you Batman or what?" "I'm..." "Should we send the dogs after him?" "This is the reality now." "Dad." "I'll be damned." "Dad..." "I'm moving in here, Dad." "I have burnout." "What?" "I need rest." "The only cure for that is to start working." "You don't like me, Dad." "Don't say that." "Your tights look good on TV." "You were never happy with the fact that I'm just a firefighter." "You should've done your homework." "You're the one who drove me out before I'd done my homework." "You have no idea what it's like to sit in the garbage all night!" "Like mother, like son." "What would've happened to you and Mom had we not moved here?" "Stop patronizing me, you super sociologist!" "Fine..." "I'll go out to play." "The garbage can is on fire!" "It's that wacko again." "Don't go, he can be unpredictable." "They'll give him a lesson." "Look who's here!" "Viljanen, goddammit." "Get up!" "Show me..." "A disgrace to the entire brigade." "Does he live here?" "I'm too scared to sleep." "I can come and keep my finger in your navel." "Easy..." "You're moving further down." "Down, until I can feel your tongue... ah." "Don't turn it off or the neighbors will hear." "No, I wasn't talking to you." "He hung UP"" "What happened to the smell?" "I threw Hakkarainen out." "Don't take any new idiots in." "Of course not." "The red Batman has moved into building D." "He's an old friend of mine, Jesse Viljanen." "He was just named firefighter of the year." "He was torching the garbage can!" "He's a nice guy, really." "I think he's repulsive and nuts." "What's eating you, Jemina?" "Grow up, Mom." "Don't let your boy play with matches anymore!" "Will you come and work at the office when you get better?" "Are you sure?" "Yes?" "I see..." "Goodbye." "You must not torch garbage cans." "Hear me, Jesse?" "You've done that to me before." "I couldn't think of anything else." "You were always lighting fires." "What fires?" "Fires." "What fires?" "What fires are you talking about?" "I don't remember any fires." "Get up!" "Get up!" "We'll be fine, as long as we forget the past." "Deal?" "Deal." "Forget the past." "Forget the past." "Here you are..." "Thanks, Marjukka." "Is Jesse still here?" "He's in there, brooding." "Jesse is a fine man." "He thinks a lot." "I think he's really deep." "Hello, Jesse." "Marjukka!" "You gave me this lighter." "It's out of gas and useless now." "I came here to see you - and it's your fault I always ended up in the garbage can as a kid." "Mrs. Hakkarainen!" "Don't..." "I dumped him." "Guess why?" "I'm sorry." "What should I do now?" "Get work with the renovators." "Dad told me to ask for Jakki." "I'm Jakki." "Jesse, Taisto's son." "Do you have any work for me?" "What can you do?" "I'm not afraid of heights." "I used to be a firefighter." "Get overalls." "Really?" "Yes." "This goes into your phone bill." "Good." "My wife is sleeping right here." " They usually do." "I'm not a marriage counselor." " I have an idea, you see..." "I've been thinking that..." "Hello?" "Are you role-playing again?" "I guess." "You need a life, Jemina." "You're always doing homework or just dreaming." "I haven't done any homework in years." "Have sex with a nice boy." "There are condoms in my drawer." "Moms don't talk like that, Mom." "And I'm not sleeping with anyone." "It's pretty cool, Mom." "They court me like monkeys." "You shouldn't play with people's feelings." "Is that real what you do on the phone?" "Isn't it just another game?" "We're just mammals, too." "Sure..." "It's good exercise and it pays well." "Do you think we could live like this on a nurse's salary?" "Phone sex is hygienic, impersonal and funny." "There's food in the kitchen." "Hello?" "I love your voice." "What's your name?" "Jes..." "Mr. Yes." " You'll never be lonely again." "Lusty Terhi will help you." "What's wrong?" "Fine, Mr. Yes." "You want to listen?" "You're on top of me." "I can feel something hard against my stomach." "Kiss me all over..." "I'm taking your ah..." "Isn't this great?" "Are you still there, Mr. Yes?" "I'd like to - love, for real." "Me too." "Time to go home." "Tired?" "No, this is fun." "You're a strange Finn." "They're usually as lazy as monkeys." "Tomorrow's another day." "Time to go to the bar." "Karaoke?" "Sure, karaoke." "He comes and goes His roads nobody knows" "A traveling man he is" "Nice to see you normal like us." "Without the superman stuff." "Thank you for the dark motions, Jakki." "Next, the indisputable local tango queen:" "Marjukka!" "You came like a flame that day" "Charming, intoxicating" "You came to me, took my heart I was yours, all yours..." "Look who's here!" "The mad loser." "You're sitting in my chair." "Your place is in the back." "Never knew the perils Of the burning flame" "Never knew it could bum The happiness to ashes" "I looked into the flame Brilliant and burning" "You were my only one My universe" "Always on my mind" "Operation Ostrich is off the ground." "Did you take the scooter?" "Yeah, I told him I'm moving." "Are you sure he didn't notice anything?" "He never does." "How's the virginity barometer?" "No change." "Right." "You know what?" "I think you just want to tease us." "No, I don't." "I don't think so either." "Sorry." "End of conversation." "Period." "Anything on Jari Litmanen or Mika Hiikkinen in these?" "There was something about Teemu Selänne in "Gloria"." "I'm cutting the line to the john." "You can lie there until I'm done." "Hey, Peeping Tom." "Wanna play Batman?" "Is your Mom home?" "Get up before they drool this house rotten!" "Sure..." "Did you bring a boy home last night?" "I couldn't decide which one to take, so I sent them both home." "Sounds nasty." "And it is." "Why don't you take them both?" "You could make a hot dog." "I'm sorry..." "Mom!" "See you." "He just came for a shit." "Hi there!" "Jemina, this is Jesse Viljanen, firefighter of the year, retired." "Jesse, this is my daughter Jemina, a young bitch." "I just came to apologize for calling your Mom Mrs. Hakkarainen." "I don't know..." "You never know, except in here." "Remember Pepita the Elephant, Jemina?" "That's no question to ask a young girl!" "What's Pepita the Elephant?" "An elephant." "Right." "You're both nuts." "How old is she now?" "Are you afraid she's yours?" "Is she?" "She has no father." "Would you like some coffee?" "Yeah." "Give me your hand." "I'll read your palm." "You have a weird pulse." "It's like two parallel rhythms." "A steady Finnish hump." "And a fiery beat." "You're like Iceland:" "ice on the surface, fire inside." "You should show this fire to a red-haired woman." "She's been waiting for you for quite a while." "Damn you, Jesse!" "Wrong hole." "The balcony will be out there!" "Move it!" "I'll come back tonight." "It's a deal." "I'm no little girl although I like firefighters." "Fight fire with fire." "Ouch..." "I don't think you're up to this." "I must fire you." "You're just jealous, Peku." "You're a fucking tease, bitch!" "I'll tell everyone not to talk to you." "You're a traitor!" "And you can donate this virginity barometer to the nuns!" "Can't you just wear women's clothes?" "This is so embarrassing." "You're the one going through people's grocery bags!" "How do I look?" "Like a pervert dying to get laid." "Dad..." "You didn't have to, honey..." "I'll fight for you." "You picked these in the yard." "I rang your doorbell." "I brought you flowers." "Tore them from the ground." "I worked!" "I humiliated myself for you, Marjukka." "Oh boy..." "You're insatiable!" "I've got something better in sight, you stupid monkey!" "You've got a guy here, I can smell it." "Go or I'll ask your Mom to get you." "Tell him to come out." "Hello." "Garbage Jesse!" "This won't do, Jesse." "You're far too crazy." "And lemma hates you." "I'm beginning to understand why." "L" "Marjukka." "I know this from experience:" "You need a drink." "It's the village fool again." "If you're so horny, you can use my current wife." "Look!" "Pervert..." "Jesse!" "Damn, damn, damn..." "Jesse." "Did I mess it up again?" "No, you're crying." "It's just the dust in my eyes." "I'd like to invite you and your father to dinner, tonight." "Goddammit, I'm desperate." "I feel dizzy." "My thesis is all fucked up." "What's wrong with me?" "Twenty years of research and I have nothing." "Are you listening at all?" "No." "What?" "What's happening to me?" "Jesse to the garbage can!" "Hi there, old faggot." "And plastic bag bimbo." "Like father, like son." "Come on." "Sorry, guys." "Gotta go get laid." "He's an asshole womanizer but open about it." "Right!" "I'd rather keep this monkey - than ruin my life loving a man who plays Batman in ketchup." "Right!" "I'll change my mind as soon as the dogs stop barking - the stars fall off the sky and the flames of the world are down." "Did you get it all down?" "He did." "Women are like that, Jesse." "Your mother said the same when she left me." "I love Haitian manioki." "It's the best." "I'd like to make a toast with you, Marie-Claude." "Perhaps we'll sing the national song of Haiti together one day." "You're wonderful." "I don't know you, Dad!" "No, you don't." "Where's the toilet?" "Pee out the window." "I should brush my teeth." "My fiancée has a cold." "What's wrong with you, Mom?" "Go back to sleep." "This is it." "What's wrong with Jesse now?" "He's so weird." "And you hate him." "Are you taking orders from children now?" "You're nuts." "It's too late to regret." "Right." "Did you say that she can see into my soul?" "Relax, Jesse, and let her look." "Don't hide from her." "Relax, take it easy." "Relax..." "I love your voice." "What's your name?" "I'm no little girl although I like firefighters." "What's Pepita the Elephant?" "I can feel something hard against my stomach." "Did you get it all down?" "Keep it, Superman." "I'm really hot all of a sudden." "Hello." "Is it Lusty Terhi?" "Wait..." "I'd just fallen asleep." "Okay, try to come fast." "I'm trying, Terhi." "I'm the secret garden of your lusts." "I'm taking off my panties now." "My orchid is opening up." "Where are you going at this hour, Jemina?" "Where were we?" "You said Jemina." "So?" "Terhi, let's pretend that my name is Jesse." "I don't believe it." "Remember Pepita the Elephant?" "Give me some phone sex now." "Do I have to, Jesse?" "I'm fucking paying for this." "Fine, let's go then." "My pussy is all wet." "I can hear you open your zipper." "Right..." "I see your giant elephant's cock." "I want it inside me." "I really do." "Now it's inside me." "Right." "Are you there?" "There's no one here." "Hi, daddy." "Are you crazy?" "What if the boss sees that?" "Do you like me at all?" "I'm not allowed to talk to you." "Do you?" "Do you know what'll happen - if my vegan friends find out I'm chopping lamb all night?" "I'm coming." "No problem." "I'll never sleep with you if you go now." "I hate you and your barometer." "I'd rather marry Peku than you." "I hate you, Peku!" "Kaitsu, I mean!" "Any explosives?" "Come on!" "No way." "How about the fireworks stuff that got banned?" "You're a genius!" "I'll get them." "Two rolls of wide duck tape." "This is all we've got." "One price for all." "And here's some fuse." "Keep the change." "He must be someone famous." "Stand back." "I'm going to jump." "Go ahead, you first." "Rm lumping now." "Go ahead." "I'll wait for my turn." "I'm jumping because nobody loves me." "Nobody loves me either." "I'll get the fireworks going and jump into the garbage can." "How could anyone love someone in this world?" "I'm the least loved person in this world." "Me too." "Marjukka doesn't love either of us." "No." "Let's count to three." "One..." "You could've made a good father for me but Mom's too difficult." "Three." "You skipped two." "I'm sorry." "I'll try again." "One..." "Two..." "I knew you'd chicken out." "There's an ostrich down there." "What?" "Look..." "Let's make sure there are no feathers on the scooter." "Then we're out of here." "Do you really think that ostriches would like it here?" "It's gotta be around here..." "There it is!" "It'll soon be a steak, poor ostrich." "Let's scare it off." "With what?" "With these." "Here it comes..." "We'll make you run for your feathers." "Senna." "The firefighters said that a cigar started the fire." "I don't buy it." "It was an accident." "Let me make you feel better." "Think." "No." "Please, think." "All grown-ups suck." "Right." "Let me at least hold you." "I'm hurting, Jemina." "Jemina speaking." "What are you doing there?" "Taking care of this fool." "Good." "I want to talk to him." "He's sleeping." "Taisto is in the hospital." "He's about to die." "It's high time to come see him." "I'll come right away." "Not you, honey." "Calm down, Mom." "I've got an idea." " What is it?" "I've always wanted a grandchild." "And I a grandpa." "Senna..." "Give grandpa a kiss." "We must find Jesse." "I told him that you two are my parents." "Shut up and listen." "Let him believe it's true." "Let him at least die happy." "Dad... it's me." "I'm a grandfather now." "I fired the rocket that burnt you." "It wasn't you." "It was the fire devil." "Put him on a leash, son." "He's hallucinating." "Morphine often does that." "I want to be under the blue sky where the birds sing." "I'll fix it." "How are you going to fix that?" "I don't know but I'll think of something." "Will he live till tomorrow?" "Maybe." "Jesse, wait!" "Where are you going?" "I have to find out why I became a firefighter." "There are no devils in you!" "Jesse." "Look!" "Good old Tinky Winky." "This is my piece of meat!" "Go fuck yourself!" "Let me handle this, Jemina." "Go handle the garbage!" "See his "use, Senna?" "It's red and round like a clown's nose." "They must've had a clown for a boss." "Let go!" "I can't breath." "My nasal cavities are built that way." "No more kiddy games." "Get in the garbage can." "I'll let go of your nose." "Damn you..." "Need help?" "Jemina, I've got to go." "Peku went to get more birds and the cops took him." "You're talking to me again!" "Peku is out of the game now that he's in the can." "Of course he is." "Did I, like, win?" "Maybe." "LEVEL 2" "Give him a shot when he wakes up." "Remember how?" "Yeah." "Where am I?" "In the bar." "It hurts." "Would this help?" "I'd rather take a bottle of rum." "Coming up." "You're a nice girl, Jemina." "Marjukka." "Your dad's about to die." "Who's stroking your hair now?" "Who's enjoying my happiness?" "I hope he's better Than I would've been for you" "My heart still sings for her" "My red-haired girl she is" "Although you're not by my side" "Let my thoughts come to you" "Silence!" "In front of this congregation, I'd like to apologize to you, Jesse." "Your childhood was ruined because I studied plastic bags." "Forgive me, Jesse." "I love you." "Dad..." "What?" "The fire devil..." "I've settled my score with him." "Really?" "I'll be damned..." "Then I can die in peace." "Can lemma mm my hand?" "Yes, she can." "Bye then, grandpa." "Nice to die when it's not raining." "What next?" "Take good care of Jemina, will you?" "I will." "She likes you." "She's like her Mom." "And her Dad."
