trying to get pregnant.
I counted the meals.
What?
When we came up here, sometimes
the meals were so strained ...
I hated them.
I started counting them to see how
many of them were left in the day.
I never knew.
You know, I tried to pretend
it wasn't happening.
it wasn't happening,
And then you met Sara.
And then I met Sara.
And you succumbed to her.
I succumbed.
I don't believe
you really love that woman.
Not really.
You can believe anything
you want, but ...
I guarantee you I will be
on that plane tomorrow.
And I am going to propose
that she be my wife.
- Naw, you are not!
- Oh, I certainly am.
- No, you are not!
- Yes I am.
And I am telling you now
there is no way ...
Could you please will me alone.
I need to use the bathroom.
Not that this isn't fun.
Oh, God.
Excuse me?
Have you ever heard of the
"Stockholm Syndrome"?
Yes.
Hostage falls in love
with their captor.
Yes.
It's gonna take something
much bigger.
An act of God, really.
Now please, close the door?
Close the door, Louise.
Close it!
Close the door!
Lake Kashimi,
the trip we fell in love.
Do you remember?
Oh, your first office.
Remember I came by to put
your name on the door?
- That was nice of you.
- Yeah.
- And there um ...
- The night I proposed to you.
- In front of "El Troubadours".
- Yes.
Hm, you said "Yes".
Yes, without hesitation,
you were sweating,
I felt so bad for you.
Well, I was scared you'd say "No".
I said "Yes",
like 17 times in a row.
- No, this just isn't fair, Lou.
- It is, it is.
It's more than fair, it's fact.
That was the day
we painted our house.
- Was that after we got married?
- No, no, it was just before.
Do you remember, Ian?
Turn it off, Louise.
- I'm not finished yet.
- Yeah, but I am finished.
It doesn't matter
what you show me.
We are not those people anymore.
Oh, yes we are.
None of the slides
you have shown me,
are from the last 10 years.
I mean, where are those slides?
We don't have them.
Whatever we had
that was so special,
just doesn't exist anymore.
We just need to make more slides.
No, no more slides, no.
No more anything.
No more life together.
In fact from this moment on I just
gonna scream and be as unpleasant ...
as possible ...
until you let me f***ing go!
Ian, stop.
She is a lunatic!
- Help, help!
- Stop it, Ian!
If you can hear me,
I am a hostage here taped
to a toilet!
Help!
Please come and help me!
Hel ...
You look very nice, Louise.
Thank you.
I haven't seen you in a sexy
dress in quite a long time.
Doesn't change things of course?
What is the guitar for?
I'm gonna play and sing the song.
Please don't.
like we did when we first met,
and you are going to like it.
God, I'm so embarrassed
for you right now.
Will you just listen, Ian!
Oh, God, no, no ...
Louise, this is beyond.
It's just so not working,
put the guitar away.
Sh*t! How does it go? Wait.
Well, I would applaud,
but you made that impossible.
You could applaud with your face.
Does it look like
I'm applauding with my face?
No.
You knocked me out cold
and you taped me to a toilet.
Your romance is
completely lost on me.
I mean, it's more like torture.
That's gonna take a miracle.
Nothing less.
And since we both know the odds of
something other-worldly happening here,
Why don't you let me go?
No.
- Louise, just give up.
- I won't.
How are you doin'?
Bored and angry. I wanna wring
your f***ing neck, same as before.
Just checking.
Listen, I am gonna be going
to the market in town,
'cause I'm gonna make you a
Any request?
Could you get me my cell-phone
and then why don't you drop dead.
You don't mean that, baby.
The only way I would eat your
is if you would force-feed
it down my throat.
Help!
Help.
994, 995 ...
996, 997, 998, 999 ...
Up here, help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Hello.
Are you there? Help!
Help ...!
Please shut the f*** up.
I am trying to rob you.
What?
I said shut up or I'll bash
your stupid head in.
Talk about an easy target.
Coming to your house and the owner
is already tied up for you.
That's a beautiful,
beautiful thing.
if you ask me.
You are never going
to get away with this.
I told you to shut up, man.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir,
do you happen to have
any cash on you?
No, I don't.
- You don't have any cash?
- No, I have no cash.
You sure you don't have any cash?
God!
- It's in my wallet in my pants.
- Wallet in your pants?
Look at you, man.
You're taped to a f***ing toilet.
Not that I care really,
but who did this to you?
- My wife.
- P*ssy, that's perfect!
Holy sh*t!
Your f***ing wife taped
to a goddamn toilet.
What a day you are having, huh?
You must feel pretty humiliated.
Yup.
See, here is the difference
between you and me, man.
Whenever I get the urge
to get married,
I grab my balls and I squeeze them
until I can't feel my legs,
and then it just passes.
- What did you do to her?
- Excuse me?
Your wife to make her tape you to a toilet
you must have done something to her.
Well, that's none of your business.
I am so interested in
human nature, like
the things that they do?
My girlfriend thinks that
I'll be a philosopher.
Do you wanna hear it?
Ah, no.
I think that love
is an experiment ...
by a higher power. Call it God
or whatever you want, but ...
I think it's still being worked out.
You know, the kinks.
It's not complete,
it's like a test.
Brilliant.
Listen to me. If love is a test,
then you are failing, Ok.
And in the grand-scheme of things
that makes you a failure.
No, that does not make me a failure.
that you would love her for
the rest of your life, right?
And clearly you
are failing at that.
You failed her, yeah man,
you are a failure.
Who are you to judge me?
You are a criminal.
F*** you, man,
I am an honest person.
anything I'm not.
anyone the moon ...
and then mean only, until I am
tired of giving you the moon.
Never.
while I'm loading your
belongings into my van.
P*ssy loser.
- Who the f*** is that?
- Louise.
Ah, sh*t!
Oh, no.
Hello, my love!
I'm home.
Please, God, don't hurt her!
Don't hurt her!
Oh, my God, is she dead?
She definitely looks dead.
What did you do to her?
What did you do to her?
Ah, I just made it very, very quiet.
It was fun.
Want me to do it to you?
You know what we need?
I wished we had matching toilet, say,
for two. That would be pretty funny.
Sh*t, nice tit's.
Mind if I squeeze
them a little bit?
- Don't you touch her!
- Or what?
