- I want to talk the late 80's with you.

- Uh oh!

A red cross

and something like this.

I know just what you're

thinking of:
my FagerskiaeId, right?

- Exactly.

- Come with us.

I'm coming.

I'm coming with you!

- But is it yours?

- Of course it's mine.

Janne! The FagerskiaeId...

it's mine, isn't it?

- It's at Bjorns, but that's not a

problem. - No, no, no! Not for me.

I've been meaning to fetch it anyway,

so why not now?

- You mean this month?

- Or even this week.

Okay, great.

I'm leaving on Saturday,

so we'll have to do it before Thursday.

- Then let's sign.

- We don't need any papers now.

What a pleasure

to do business with you!

Obviously!

With all this kissing!

Oh no! Stop, stop, stop!

- Oh, double sixes! That's good, too.

- If you say so.

But I feel happy about it.

Some people aren't so pretentious.

Little things make us happy.

Three and two.

God, how bloated you've become!

- I'm taking back my painting.

- Your painting?

Yes. It's my painting.

I'm just fetching it.

Ten years ago

it may have been your painting.

- How many of my things do you have?

- Not one!

If you'd just picked up the phone

I could've solved this in another way.

What's she doing here?

Bjorn, what's going on?

Would you please silence

that little person! Bjorn...

- You've gone way too far.

- Bjorn, silence that little person.

- Please.

- No one can go this far.

You've gone way too far.

- Can't we go?

- No.

I'm going too far? At least

I don't bare it all in the tabloids!

You get out of my house!

You are so tacky.

Did you know that?

You're the tackiest person I know.

It's inconceivable to me that we've

been married to the same man!

If anyone understands things

here it's you, Janne.

- Put down the painting and leave.

- No way! It's my FagerskiaeId!

- I'm taking it with me!

- You're a sad case, Jacqueline!

This has gone too far. You two take

that painting and get out of here!

I think that's an excellent idea!

- And I'm taking this as a little

souvenir. - The game's over!

- I don't even want it!

- The game's over!

What do you want?

Stefan and Becker were just here

to deliver the lounge sofas

for the VIP corner.

They want to be paid already tomorrow.

And they want to be paid

for their expenses for Donatas.

They said they wanted it.

I need to find someone to finish

the roof in case it starts raining.

Did you tidy up?

Well, did you?

Get rid of all his things and...

There was a barbecue, too.

- Yes, Klas speaking.

- Do you want a vodka soda, too?

- Yeah!

Not long to go!

- We're going to have so much fun!

- Yeah.

Here you go.

What the hell...?!

What the hell are you doing?

Why did you do that?

Damn it, Janne!

Why?

- I just wanted to cheer everyone up.

- We were already feeling cheerful.

- Could either of you lend me a towel?

- Forget it!

You know blbr?

Yes, blueberries.

Luns... omme?

Lingon.

Yes.

The heat here in Bstad

won't be any problem

for the players down on center court.

Klas, you know that vodka sponsor who

backed out? Did you get hold of him?

Wait!

- Janne!

Come down here!

- Did you get hold of him?

- He didn't answer.

- Did you try again?

- No, I thought you guys could.

We could?!

You can't say you'll do something,

then not do it wholeheartedly.

- Then nothing works here, does it?

- Wholeheartedly?

- Can't you take care of this for us?

- Why can't you do it?

Did you tidy up?

Yeah, it's fine.

Have you been up there?

Up there?

Oh yeah, it's uh, it's uh...

It's almost done.

What do you mean?

The money?

Yes. No - the money?

No, you see...

Hey, listen...

Excuse me...

Just a second.

The roof tiling.

It's done.

That's a relief.

Okay.

Let's talk about this later.

We were discussing

where to put that bar.

I don't have much time.

What happened to your Pole,

Balt, whatever he is?

- Who?

- What happened to him?

Wasn't your handyman going

to help with the bar? Donatas?

- He can't.

- He was to help out.

What's that got to do

with the sponsors' furniture?

We need help, don't we?

Either take it or leave it.

You see how the cards are spread.

It's not a laughing matter.

I'd take it a little more seriously.

- This is... Look at the cards at least!

- I'm looking at them, for Crissake!

And that is the seafront.

And here is the sea.

You'd love it.

I don't know what you're thinking about.

- Wine?

- No thanks, we're busy with this..

- Did you want to serve me more wine?

- Yes, among other things.

More wine.

Then there are other bars

down here along the shore.

With all your creativity

you could do almost anything.

It's beautiful, mild, nice...

Anything goes!

And everyone's open to new ideas.

So go for it!

Go down and bathe

and you'll feel like a new person.

Okay, so you're standing there

in the forest shouting

and what happened then?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Right...

- Something happened to me.

- So I see.

Donatas' girlfriend showed

up the other day.

What?

Donatas' girlfriend...

showed up the other day.

She just appeared.

I told her that she could stay

in the house

until Donatas came back.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

She just - ran off.

And Donatas' belongings -

are they still there?

Yes.

- Are you crazy!

- What's wrong?

- Are you crazy?!

- What's wrong with you?

You'll get your f***ing money.

Don't worry.

Good God!

Start all over again.

Doing what?

Something really stupid.

How old are you two anyway?

I'm beginning to wonder.

Nice.

- Cool.

- Come try it out.

Sit down.

- Yeah.

- Sit farther back! Make yourself comfy!

It's Viro throughout,

and there's dralon

in all the fabric

- the seats, cushions, everything!

Let's take a photo!

- Janne, come here!

You get in the middle!

Janne! That's it!

- Klasse!

- Look straight at the camera!

- Great!

- Perfect!

Now you're in our campaign!

What do you say we take

care of the payment now, guys?

I don't want to sour

the party mood tonight.

So let's settle up now.

What do you say?

- You can see the photos now!

- Good work, dude!

Do you like this one?

- Well, if it isn't...

- What?

I thought you were dead!

No!

- Hi!

I can't believe how much

this tennis week has changed.

- Yes.

- The difference is phenomenal.

It's crazy

how much they've put into it.

You know, two years ago

a reporter asked Goran Persson:

"Why are you here in Bstad

and not in Almedalen?"

The former prime minister replied:

- "Bstad is the new Almedalen. "

- Yes!

It's true!

If Olof Palme were still alive,

he'd be standing right here.

- In Bstad, not in Almedalen.

- I'm sure you're right.

It's a sign of our times,

in every respect.

Yes!

Barnaise, chili barnaise...

remoulade...

I'm a little curious. I don't think

I understand what your role is.

- Can you explain it for me?

- Yes. I'm your boss.

Chili barnaise, please.

Janne, there you are!

Come join us upstairs!

- I need to take care of something.

- Do it later.

Great music, hot babes,

what more could you want?
