Julie

I was able to put pressure on her,

break and play more aggressively.

LOOSELY BASED ON

AUGUST STRINDBERG'S 'MISS JULIE'

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Give me two seconds.

- Hello?

- Julie, stop it! Get going.

What are you doing to her?

Kindergarten!

You've got three days

to get her up to speed. Is that clear?

What is this?

An amateur?

Are you an amateur?

Are you an amateur?

Show me what you can do.

Get her!

Let me be!

Yes.

That shouldn't be a problem.

MISS JULIE:

What is it with Julie?

- She is upset about Peter.

- He was useless.

- He wasn't useless.

- Yes he was.

Do you know why he left?

I saw it myself.

- Did you?

- I sure did.

- What happened?

- They played together.

Each time Peter lost a ball

he had to jump over Julie's racket.

When he had jumped over it

she slapped his bottom.

He went ballistic,

smashed his racket and left.

- Was that why?

- Uh-huh.

This is the deal with Mico. It applies

if she comes first, second or third.

1.9 for the first prize, 1.2 for

the second and 500.000 for the third.

- And if she gets ill and cannot enter?

- She's in top form.

Everybody can get unlucky,

eat something bad or twist their ankle.

Listen, I'll give you an extra 50.000

because I'm late with the payments.

You can have it right now.

I'll write a cheque.

With some white wine gel

it would have been top-notch.

Don't do that!

"Jan, do you take Kristine

for your lawful wedded wife?"

"I do!"

"Will you love and honour her

for better or for worse -

- according to God's holy ordinance -

- keeping only unto her

for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And do you, Kristine, take Jan

for your lawful wedded husband?"

You don't drink beer with foie gras.

It could do with a few degrees more.

- What is it you're cooking? It smells!

- Oh...!

Julie wanted it.

Something for Stella.

- Do you really have to cook dog food?

- Isn't that obvious?

Why don't you say no?

- What is it?

- Abortion soup.

She says there were

some male dogs in the offing.

- What's in it?

- Some liquor, calf's intestines...

That family is nuts.

Her mother would be shopping in fur

and Gucci, all dirty and messy-haired.

All the while,

the chauffeur was waiting in the car.

Do you want the last one?

How about watching a movie tonight?

- Hello?

- Sure, let's watch a movie.

- Do we have a deal?

- I said let's watch a movie, didn't I?

- Julie is drinking in the bar.

- She is what?

I saw her when I passed the reception.

She was making a pass at some idiot.

- She shouldn't be drinking. Get her!

- Soon. I need five minutes to myself.

- How can you just walk past?

- I'm tired of dancing to her tune.

I'll be back.

- So do you have any secrets?

- Are you curious?

It sure isn't 'Chanel no. 5.'

Wow, he knows about perfume.

- Pour it into the tub.

- It needs to cool off first.

Will you join me in the bar?

I don't mean to be impolite, but I

promised Kristine to watch a movie.

Can I borrow Jan?

Maybe you should not

be hanging out with your coach.

- What do you mean?

- You need some rest.

- Come.

- I'm not dressed for going out.

You look good.

We need to discuss tactics.

- One juice and then you'll go to bed?

- One juice and then I'll go to bed.

Hi, Eddie.

- Do you want some?

- No!

It's quite nice.

- When are you off?

- Thursday.

- How much will she get?

- Best case scenario: 2.8.

And commercials and sponsors

on top of that.

We would like to take over the hotel.

It's a loan.

I'm paying the instalments.

The latest instalment

has not been paid in yet.

After the tournament there'll be money

in the account again. It's temporary.

Haven't I always paid

my instalments on time?

What if she doesn't win?

She gets money for entering.

We take over the hotel.

Then we're quits.

Shall we watch a movie?

- Are you mad?

- Why should I be mad?

What kind of gentleman leaves his lady?

- And that is your boyfriend?

- Yes, isn't that what they call it?

Boyfriend?

- You had one yourself.

- He was my fianc.

- Isn't that the same thing?

- Were you not going to bed?

Go to your flat. Go to bed.

Read a magazine. Relax, Julie.

- Put this on.

- I'm not putting that on.

- I'm not putting on master's clothes.

- Put it on!

- I'll go outside.

- I'm not putting it on.

Just put it on.

- Ca vous plait, mademoiselle?

- So you speak French?

- Where did you learn that?

- In Paris.

- You're flattering me.

- Why would I do that?

- You're exaggerating. Same thing.

- Take it off.

How come you speak so peculiarly?

Is it true that you're from Rungsted?

- I often saw you.

- Really?

- I remember one time especially.

- Go on. Tell me.

Maybe some other time.

- Is it that bad?

- It's embarrassing.

Sit down.

- I thought we were leaving?

- Not yet.

If your father sees you out and about

rather than in bed...

He won't.

Sit down!

Can you get us a drink?

- There's beer.

- Beer it is then.

I'm not keen on beer,

but if you insist.

I don't insist at all.

Are you shy?

Julie, you should be in your bed.

You can't drink beer with your coach.

You're not taking it seriously.

- Kristine is here.

- You shouldn't be drinking beer.

Kristine, are you asleep?

Stop it! She's been working for you

all day. She has a right to be tired.

You need to respect sleep.

Do you think I'm in love with you?

No, but people will think so,

if we're seen in the bar.

I'm just being realistic.

- I'll stoop down to you.

- Don't.

Sometimes I dream

that I'm sitting on a pole.

I need to get down

but I do not dare to jump.

I can't hold on to it.

I feel like falling, but I don't do it.

When I finally get down,

I want to ram myself into the ground.

Have you ever dreamt things like that?

- Shall we go?

- We'll stay here a while.

You can keep the flat

at a monthly rent of 20.000.

You take my hotel and want another

20.000 a month, is that what you say?

With the coach and the masseuse

it's another 12.000.

- How did it come to this?

- I guess you spent too much money.

You can have my money,

but not my hotel.

We take over the hotel

for what you owe in arrears.

That's it!

I'm bored.

- Keep still.

- Yes.

Do as I say.

- Julie...

- Jan?

- I'm only a man.

- Keep still.

That's it. Say thank you.

- Julie, listen to me.

- Kiss my hand first.

- Julie!

- Kiss my hand.

- It's at your own risk.

- Of what?

Of what? Don't you know

it's dangerous to play with fire?

- I'm insured.

- No, you're not.

- There's flammable material in here.

- And that's you?

Not because I'm me,

but because I'm a man.

I think you're a boring fart.

- Think?

- Yes, I fear so.

- Is this for fun?

- No, it's serious.

Was it also serious before?

- I need to fix your racket.

- You must come swimming with me.

First the bar. Now swimming.

I'm your coach, not your playmate.

I know.

Can I just ask you one thing?

Have you ever loved?

Have you?

Have you ever loved?

I was once really ill

because of impossible love.

- III in what way?
