and she left her long-time boyfriend.

She thought

you were getting engaged,...

but then you, Mr. Spear Hero,

dumped her with a text message...

you sent from the Olympics

or somewhere.

Before or after he speared that guy?

- After.

It wasn't like that. I called her.

She didn't answer,

so I left her a message.

It was a voice message,

not a text message. - I see. Wow.

There were all kinds of things

happening...

Yeah,

if your 'accident' is your excuse.

It was wrong. I'm sorry.

Tell that to her.

My turn to spin.

You didn't do your dare yet.

You didn't tell us why you left her.

What does it matter?

It was ten years ago.

I thought she'd be different.

I thought she'd be fun...

and live life to the fullest.

And she was, at first.

- What changed?

We got engaged.

It was half a joke,

and then she changed.

She started dreaming about children

and moving in together.

She dreamed about houses and

dogs... - What's wrong with that?

I don't want that.

I want to live on my terms.

I'm sure she'll be happy to hear...

that you are

a commitment-phobic stud.

Do you categorize people...

so that it's easier

to understand them?

If it makes you feel safe, great.

But you're wrong.

You're wrong.

- You're wrong.

You're childish.

- You're a child. - C'mon.

There's a playground outside.

Go fight there.

Dare.

Okay, I'm outside.

Can you see? I'm naked.

I can see it's a bit chilly.

Where are Saku and Rita?

- They're in Saku's room.

Saku wanted to show her

his medals? - Yeah.

Rita's fianc is in Russia 'fishing.'

It's his bachelor party.

Their wedding is in two weeks,...

so Rita is interested

in other men's balls.

It might take some time then.

- That's right.

You want something?

- You have beer?

I have a brew.

- Oh, a brew.

Have you been best friends

for a longtime?

BULLYING:

You'll find yourself an ugly wife.

- You won't find a wife.

I'm sorry.

Bullying is not worth it.

DON'T BE A BULLY

End of story.

We've been friends ever since.

You know what?

- What?

I remember you from German class.

You sat in the back.

When the teacher asked you

something, you'd say "keine Ahnung."

But you always got good grades

in tests.

I know you have prejudices

against Saku, and for a reason.

He's always been loyal to me.

He's a smart guy.

But he's totally unable

to tolerate the daily grind.

Ls this your natural color?

- What?

Or did you used to be a blond?

- Yeah, in high school.

Were you on that graduation cruise...

where we had the radio host? - Yeah.

I was too!

- You want to talk or f***?

Yeah, yeah.

Damn...

You ?e hopeless.

Two 30-year-old guys...

- Two nice-looking guys.

Okay. Two nice-looking guys,...

who take care of their hygiene,...

share an apartment, travel and party.

Neither one of you has a girlfriend.

And one of you is a weather guy.

You can't fool me.

Okay, I'll admit it.

We're a couple...

A couple of guys who want

to have fun and enjoy life.

When do you enjoy life the most?

Now would be a good time to leave.

Come. Let's go.

Bye!

So, are you glad

we went out last night?

Sure.

Did Miss Moralist give you some?

She did.

We had a nice conversation.

- That's it?

We talked.

That might be a good thing.

She reminds me of Miia.

She just wants to have children

and get married. - Oh.

How do you know

I don't want the same?

You don't want that.

She said she often has breakfast

at Caf Ekberg.

Go take a shower.

We have plenty of stuff to do.

What?

Viral marketing.

Go take a shower. Miss Moralist!

Breakfast at Ekberg's.

"Anna Salmi. What a coincidence!"

I love the way you looked for me.

Who else would've sat at Caf

Ekberg for a month? - That's scary.

I would've sat there for a year.

- That's even scarier.

Are these too thick?

I f***ing love you.

Really?

- Really.

I f***ing love you.

This is Assa Talk to me!

Take your head

out of her p*ssy, stupid!

I've got invitations to the new club.

Call me!

Arja, this has been viewed

over 30,000 times.

The weather is gentle,

so be gentle to your sweethearts.

Thank you. Prepare for the news.

That was good.

Remember what we spoke

about the beginning?

We could do the same thing

that we do at the end.

Hey, Lance Armstrong. Nice pants.

- Oh, hi.

What are you doing here?

I came to check

that your phone is okay.

I also wanted to know you're okay.

- Sorry, Mom.

Tonight's the party.

- Yeah. I'm not sure I can make it.

L. 0. IL E..

You couldn't find

a cheesier ring tone?

Hi, honey.

I'm just leaving work.

Saku came to meet me.

I'll stop when everybody

believes I'm straight.

You want to see me tonight?

Oh, you're going there.

Okay.

Okey dokey, Love Bug.

I will. I love you, too. Bye.

Anna said hi.

Don't worry, it'll pass.

- F*** you. It won't.

So, are we going to the party?

Oh, you want my company

now that Anna's not free? - Exactly.

You want a ride?

Will it carry us? - I don't know

about a fatso like you.

Hey, the Beckhams of Finland.

You're the loser whose boyfriend

tried to make Cheryl drink piss.

What the f*** are you doing here?

I was going to ask you

the same thing.

Who did you screw to get in?

Or did someone screw you?

I'll break you.

- Gee.

You know you can't go around

breaking people.

Let bygones be bygones.

Hold that.

- Okay, go ahead.

I'll break you.

- Blow yourself, closet f*ggot.

What are you doing?

Already fighting

and the party just started.

Idiots.

- Bring my gin and tonic!

Going home? I'm sure

you'll have a nice movie night.

Let's have some fun.

I had a similar situation with Anna.

We bumped into her,

but Anna kept her cool.

She's a great girl.

A last-minute flight to New York

for 400 euros. Tomorrow.

I have to work.

- Tell them you're sick.

I'll book.

- No, you won't.

Yes, I will.

- No, you won't.

I'll lend you money.

When did you become so stingy?

- I'm not stingy.

Yes, you are.

- No, you're the stingy one.

You're no fun anymore.

She's brainwashed you.

You get it? - That's not true.

Yes, it is.

- It's not.

You only talk about Anna.

- Anna said it's not true.

You want examples?

- Shoot!

Anna and I love riding our bikes.

Anna hates Coldplay.

Anna wants me to go back

to business school.

She loves my smell.

We like to chill and make love.

This is Anna's favorite wine.

And this is Dick's

favorite f***in' beer.

Okay. But it doesn't mean

that something has to change.

What has changed?

Prove it.

Come with me to New York.

Anna and I agreed that...

- I see.

We want to go to New York together.

- Fine. I understand.

But that doesn't stop me

from partying hardy tonight.

Four!

- Here you go.

I was going to say no hard liquor.

I'm going to see Anna later tonight.

Ready, steady...

- Your deodorant has failed you.

Sh*t.

A**hole.

- These things happen.

It's on him.

This is Anna. I can't talk

right now so leave a message.

I'm listening to loud sex

in the toilet and thinking of you.

I'll see you tonight, right?

Kiss kiss.
