that job at the old folks home.

I drew the line

at wiping old people's behinds.

Why are we the only ones talking?

Why do you drag them here?

We are all responsible for you,

although I seem to be the only one

who carries on a discussion

at these meetings.

In meetings, it's generally

the pushy ones who speak,

but I understand that

you haven't been home much

and I want to you know

that we are your family

and that you can talk to us

if something's wrong.

It can just be a little chat

now and then.

Then you could try to be home

when I'm home.

I'm not always out, you're just

not home at the same time.

It's just a coincidence,

I'm not trying to avoid you.

You are our only son and our

friendship is important to me.

You are my mother, you can

never be a close friend.

We can be close, of course,

but you know what I mean.

I'm just worried. I feel like

you're shutting us off.

Just trust me, mom.

Isn't this good for today?

I'll just take the old boy

with me to McDonalds.

Thanks for the coffee.

I'll drive him home later.

Dad, I can't stand these family

meetings. You have to do something.

Do you think I can do anything?

The woman is and always

has been a control freak.

It's best to do as she says

to avoid serious trouble.

You don't go there with

your mother. Poor Bjoggi...

You can still back me up.

That's right.

I could do more.

- Do you want to drive?

- I'm only sixteen.

It's OK to try

a little circle here.

I'm taking chemistry.

Who needs to learn chemistry?

- Didn't you choose this course?

- Yeah, but you know... Chemistry.

But science is your main course.

Then you have to do chemistry.

I'm very pleased with my classes.

There's such a big gap

between classes on Mondays.

Just allow someone to fill the gap.

Then everything will be all right.

You know about my Facebook page.

I've been chatting with Haraldur

and things are heating up.

Are you kidding? I'll kill you

if you cross the line.

I think she's just

about to.

I invited him

on a date on Wednesday.

- Are you kidding me?

- No.

This is getting interesting!

You've messed with him

far too much.

Just stand him up

and stop contacting him.

I want to sit

at the next table.

- Why don't you just talk to him?

- Me?

- Come on!

- Not a chance.

What is he going to say to him?

And this ignorant friend of mine

is a really bad liar.

Can we just stop talking

about this? - Sure.

- I'll just go.

- We're with you.

I think he's coming.

There's someone coming.

- It's him!

- Is this him?

Nice! He's a hottie.

I can't back out now,

can I? - No.

Just go and talk to him.

- Excuse me, remember me?

- Yes, how are you?

Can I have a seat?

I'm expecting someone.

Yes, about that...

That's kind of me.

Are you Mjoll?

Kind of.

But she doesn't exist.

Wait! I have to talk to you.

It's about your daughter, Greta.

What?

She's my flatmate and she's

having some money problems.

Her mother can't help her

so we thought about asking the man

who has never had anything to do

with his daughter for help.

Do you think this is

the best way to find people?

- Is something wrong with you?

- Is something wrong with you?

You don't know anything about this.

Don't you think I have my reasons?

Could be, but Greta doesn't know

anything about your reasons.

- What happened?

- He just freaked out and left.

Go after him. Go!

Maybe she'll hit him.

Isn't she supposed to know anything

about these reasons of yours?

You're the one who spit her out

into the world. - I spit her out?

I was dead drunk and vaguely

remember meeting this woman.

Then she called three months

later and said she was pregnant.

I don't even remember

sleeping with her.

So that's it then?

No, when I offered to take a blood

test she didn't want to speak to me.

If she doesn't want to speak to me

I can't be the father, right?

Are you ready for a DNA test now?

What about Greta?

Come on!

What happened?

- He didn't say sh*t.

- You should have hit him.

Just let it go. I don't want

to ask my mother about this guy.

Maybe we should just relax.

I agree that we should

take a break from this.

If you want to do something later

we'll do it.

I've been applying

for more shifts here.

You'll have to be

free on Thursday.

I'm having a party before

the dance. You have to be there.

Is he waiting outside

in the car?

Yes.

You're not going anywhere.

- This is my life.

- Stella!

Hi.

- Tara!

- Hi!

- Who was this f*ggot?

- Just a guy I know.

- Who?

- Steini.

- Have you been seeing him?

- No.

- Then why did he say hi like that?

- Like that?

- Yes.

- I just know him.

This wasn't like that.

It was a real faggoty hi.

What's wrong with you?

Stop it.

- This is not a strong mix.

- Yes it is.

How is this dress?

Can I go in this?

- I look fat.

- You don't look fat.

- Yes I do. See this?

- No, you look great.

See these hips. Do you think

I'll get through the door?

We already talked about this.

- You haven't said anything.

- You look really great.

Just don't get too drunk.

- I'm never too drunk.

- No, never...

- If you drank, you'd understand.

- Yes, I don't understand.

I always have more fun than you

when we go out.

I'm always just fine.

I'd have more fun

if I weren't so fat.

Where are you?

Aren't you going to reply?

What are you drinking?

Some disgusting mix from Teddi.

It's like drinking pure alcohol.

He's just trying

to get you drunk.

Is it disgusting?

I don't want to be sober. It's

disgusting to be sober at a dance.

- Kiss me.

- Kiss you?

No.

- I know you want me.

- Do I?

Don't be like this.

I don't kiss people

out of the blue.

- Don't tell me you're romantic.

- I'm not saying that.

Stop it.

You're making me embarrased.

Do you want to go

to the room?

No, I don't want to

go into the room.

Don't you want to ask me out?

Isn't that how it works?

- Do you want me to ask you out?

- No. Just leave me alone.

I think you have

to take her home. - Yes.

She's not handling this.

We're going to the dance.

No problem, I'll do it.

- Isn't everything OK?

- Yeah, it's OK.

She's not going to the dance.

Aren't you feeling well?

- Are you taking her home?

- Yes, I'll do it.

See you.

- Can't we get going as well?

- Yeah, soon.

- Are you all right?

- Yes.

Don't you want this

to dry your dress?

Let's just go to your place.

Hello, no she went

with Mitrovic.

GRANDMA:

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

There's a foreigner who works here.

I need to know where he lives.

Do you mean Soric?

You know who I mean.

The one Stella's been with.

- You mean Mitrovic.

- Yes, find out where he lives.

I don't have his address here

but I can find out.

Yes, please.

I'm in a hurry.

- What took you so long?

- I just got held up.

- Where were you?

- On my way.

We're getting laid!

- How many have you drunk?

- None.

- Are you sober?

- Yes.

You're such a dork.

- They're not testing.

- I know.

I'll just go be a minute.

- Aren't you coming with me?
