Leave Vagn out of this. | - Just stay away, John.

Jeanne, damn it... what's up? | - You know what!

I was this close to falling for you. | This close.

F*** you.

F*** you too!

Look at your bag.

You didn't tell her. | - No, I never did.

I was just about to, when... | - You have to stop that sh*t.

You think living like this is free? | Everything costs money!

You've got to quit, John.

Come on. Follow her.

Looking good.

That's the Swedes. Hey-hey.

Hey. Heysan.

They look way younger than us.

I'd like a chat with their coach.

She was this close to falling for you. | - I heard.

She also told me to f*** off. | - Yes, and with good reason.

Are you telling me to f*** off?

You can't live like that in the long run. | No one can.

Just find the truck.

About that debt... | How much do you owe those guys?

120.000. | It was actually only 26.000.

The rest is interest.

Maybe I can help. | I put a little aside...

Stop it!

Don't you get it! I'm not to be trusted.

I can't do anything right! | - John...

I was never good at anything.

John, it... | - I just want to go home.

Don't start crying.

It's not true. You...

Everything I touch goes to sh*t. | I'll never find the truck.

But you're the reason I'm here now.

You deserve better than me, Vagn.

It's not true.

You're a good sport. | - You too.

You know what?

We're going to the game, | and you're gonna win it.

For your dad! F*** everything else. | - There it is!

Hi, Sweetie!

Cute kid, huh?

It's now or never.

What if she turns me down? | - Then you proved you're a fighter.

Some candy?

Come on. It's totally whacked.

What did you say?

I said I was sorry and would have | told her. She asked me to leave.

What a stupid idea! | Thanks a lot, Vagn!

What does she want from me? | Do I have to turn myself in?

That might be a good idea. | - What?

That you turned yourself in. | - Are you on crack?

You can't live like this forever. | - Shut it, Vagn.

Would you rather lose | a great girl like her?

A chance like this comes maybe | twice in a lifetime. Vivi and I met...

Put a sock in it, you old f***!

What the hell do you know?

It's your fault I made an ass of myself. | You haven't had a girl in 40 years.

What the hell do you know? | F***ing stooge!

No wonder your friends forgot you.

And soccer! You're too old | and weak to play sports!

Why don't you piss out of this car and | find your loser friends on your own?

Get out! Go!

What are you doing here? | - I just came to say good-bye.

Where's John? | - He drove off. He's not coming back.

I can't be with someone who... | - I understand, but...

But John is really a good kid.

I'm sure he would | have told you in time.

But he didn't.

Cute kid you got there.

Anyway, good-bye. | - I'm sorry you missed your game.

Well, there's still 100 kilometers.

That's 10 Swedish miles...

...or English... well...

It was nice to meet you. | - Wait, Vagn.

Hi, Nurlana. Is Frank here?

Frank? Frank!

My back aches. | - He has a medical certificate.

I want you on that field! | Get undressed, now.

It's time to get a move on.

First guy who says anything! | - We finally got a cheerleader.

Warm up, people! | Shut up, Erling!

Warm up, guys! | Send the balls over here.

How is that still funny?

Don't fear their counter attack. | We're using the 1-2-3 line up.

We push them from the get-go. | Be alert and work with each other.

Our defense is too weak for that. | - Among other things.

Who let four goals go in last time? | - I can't take you seriously.

Shouldn't I play a quick... | - Nope.

Not now!

I don't want our national hymn | in the middle of my speech.

Sit down!

Would you please listen? | Stop interrupting!

Shut up, Erling! Shut up!

We're using the 1-2-3 line up!

So we push them... | - Look, it's Vagn!

Who is she? | - Who's that gal?

Hi, Vagn. I'm glad you came.

Hi, Vagn. Vagn is back!

That's Jeanne and Patrick.

Better late than never. | - We missed you.

Old buddy.

I'm really, really, really sorry.

It's all my fault. Come here.

How are you doing? | - I'm fine.

You can change in the bus.

Let's hear it for Vagn. He's back.

Move it, guys.

Good, Preben.

Alright!

Swedish prick!

For f***'s sake!

Good, Svend-Erik!

Stay with the ball, guys!

Hi...

Hi...

You forgot your shoes in the car?

Just leave them there.

I felt I should drop them off.

Are they all cops?

Well done, Vagn!

I wanted to see you play | and I've heard so much -

...and we made that deal...

Damn, that's a lot of cops. | - Look alive, Erling!

I'm way alive, a**hole!

Vagn... I'm real sorry, man.

I had no right interfering...

I butted in, gave you some advice, | and I'm sorry about that.

I shouldn't have. | - Sure, you should.

That's what friends are for. | They help each other out.

You don't leave them hanging | with big choices to make.

You look out for each other, right? | - Jeanne is here.

Yeah, I know.

Counter attack!

Go, Manne!

Beautiful, Vagn!

Free kick!

To the left...

Hi. I robbed three gas stations...

Take it easy, man!

Stop that!

Hey!

What's going on?

What the f***!

I have to go to Crete on Saturday!

Dear John. I hope they are | treating you alright in there.

Although you were against it | I've paid off most of your debt.

My dad's coin collection turned out | to be worth more that I thought.

It was just lying around anyway | and kind of nice to get rid of.

And you don't have a car anymore.

I used the money in the bag | as payment.

It took a bit longer than expected, | but now it's done.

Thanks for the books.

We weren't thinking | about the same Kierkegaard.

But who cares?

It made me proud to hear that | you help the other convicts to vent.

Good for you.

And I've met someone.

I don't think I've told you.

Her name is Bente.

It's as if we've known each other | a hundred years. You know?

Jeanne says hi. I take Patrick to | soccer practice every Wednesday.

She still thinks about you.

I have to go. | We have to leave for a game.

Don't make any trouble in there. | Take care, until I see you again.

Your friend, Vagn.
