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,
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
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
I'm taking 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
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.
- 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
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.
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.
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?
- 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?
