especially for Anna.

Anna felt she'd failed somehow.

But you lost that baby too.

Right?

It's okay if you're hurting, too.

Night?

I'll go get us another round.

- You sure?

Yes. I need another one.

Ring the doorbell.

Stomp your feet a little.

- Why didn't you ring the bell?

Guess who's staying over?

- Hello, princess!

You stink.

We got you a burger.

It's a love burger.

Okay,

I'll put it in the refrigerator.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

I called you many times.

- Calm down. Let me see.

Oh, my volume is turned off.

Do you realize how worried I was?

You realize how worried I was?

I'm sorry.

How can I have a baby with you

if I can't trust you?

Are you going to do this

when I have a baby?

When you have a baby? You, you.

Did you hear? We're making

a baby for her. - I didn't mean that.

You should've thought about that...

before you made me marry you

and stopped using birth control.

You wanted that!

You proposed to me.

You stopped using birth control.

- We agreed on it.

Okay. Let's calm down.

The damage is already done;

you're married.

What would you do, princess?

- Get the f*** out.

I'm not staying with this nag.

Fine. Get the f*** out of here.

Both of you.

What?

- Get the f*** out of here now!

I'm not leaving my TV here.

I'm taking it with me.

Saku, take the lamp from the porch.

Take the f***ing lamp from the porch.

I won't leave my TV here.

That's right.

This is how we get

the f*** out of here.

Saku,

let's get the f*** out of here.

This is how we do it.

Come and watch TV with us.

Let's go.

Is Assa here?

He's sleeping.

I want to talk to him now.

He's really tired.

- I need to talk to him now.

That's why you broke up.

It's just "me, me, me.

There's nothing to see here.

Seppo.

Seppo.

Honey.

This is not me.

I'm not like this.

I'm not like this.

Let's go home.

If you ever come near me,

I'll kill you.

Get ready for broadcast.

Seppo, two minutes.

We have a rain front

coming in from northwest.

From the southwest...

Who knows about these.

As you can see,

here we have cuntolous clouds...

Cut!

Cut!

What are you waving at me for?

You're in the same boat.

Stay behind the camera

or I'll tape you to it.

A MOMENT, PLEASE

Holy sh*t...

That's a wrap.

What happened?

How can I be in the same spot again?

Why didn't I apologize to her

after all those fights?

How can I be so stupid?

Why was I so proud

that I let things go this far?

Anna is the best woman

I've ever met,...

but we're like oil and water.

F***, oil and water...

Assa.

- Okay.

I had something, but I blew it.

- Stop.

That's enough of crying.

I've been listening to you whine

for six months now.

It won't take you anywhere.

Stop.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Saku.

No, thank you.

- Don't make fun of everything.

Thank you.

- Thank you if you stop.

F*** you and your jokes.

Really, we got to go downtown.

Let's go.

Ready, steady... Look, a moose!

Look, Jesus!

You're so dumb.

I bet you won't be able...

to get a woman

to take off her bra in here.

I just want to get drunk.

I'm too tired to play.

This amusement park is open

and we've got access to all rides.

The night is young.

If you lose, you'll get a tattoo.

I don't know what to tattoo.

- I'll do the dishes for six months.

Deal.

Hi, Cheryl.

I've been wanting to apologize...

...for the way we behaved last time

and the time before that.

We had a difficult childhood.

- Can you leave?

I admire you.

- I'm not interested.

I'm serious.

It's great that you exist.

You make the rest of us

feel superior.

Cheryl, you're a modern Jesus.

You're a heroine willing to sacrifice

herself. - Don't touch me.

I'm asking you for a small favor...

after all this sucking up to you.

Will you give me your bra?

I tripped.

Haven't you ever tripped? What?

Assa, calm down.

You calm down!

- I am calm.

Of course you are.

Why do you always provoke me?

Explain it to me.

- We're having fun.

Besides, it would've been wrong...

if they hadn't kicked us out.

This is fun?

We're trying to have fun

with a taste of blood in our mouths?

Why is it always me who tastes it?

Explain that to me!

Move.

F***ing move!

Are you going to move or what?

Move!

F***ing move.

Move!

Move.

Move. Move. Move...

F***ing move!

F***ing move!

There are people who will pick up

a coin from the urinal.

Then there are people

who will put the coin there...

to see who'll pick it up.

Guess which you are.

Well, well.

Superlosers on the go again.

I can tell you're in top shape.

You want to see what we just did?

You should like it.

Let me guess.

D*ldos made out of Barbies,

buzzing around on the streets.

Let's go home. Let's agree you won.

What was Flash Attack?

Was it a group or these attacks

or something else?

Before becoming paralyzed..

- Isn't this your new best friend?

...a big dream.

He was a Brazilian priest.

He tried to break the record for

flying with helium-filled balloons.

That was my idea!

What a guy! I told him about that.

As if that wuss would ever have

the courage to do that.

Would you have the courage?

His body was found...

- would you have the courage?

But this great legend lives on.

He'll be remembered forever.

What the hell...

Assa?

What are you doing?

- I'm filling balloons.

Are you drunk? - No.

The most sober I've been in months.

Explain.

- It's possible to break the record.

The priest would've broken it

if he hadn't drifted over the ocean.

Get real.

The whole trick is an illusion.

You'll kill yourself.

- At least l will be remembered...

for something other

than spearing someone.

Are you with me?

Flash Patrol is calling.

Flash Patrol?

You're out of your mind.

People have definitely noticed

a group called Flash Patrol

The group will try to break

the record...

for flying with

helium-filled balloons.

A Brazilian priest was the last

person to try to break the recent..

Look!

I've never seen this many balloons.

They have to be as big as possible.

- We have these.

Shelf C.

I'll jump out of the window

to see if this works. - See you.

You'll find yourself an ugly wife.

- You won't find a wife.

It almost flew.

- Let's be honest with ourselves.

This is an insane idea.

- An insanely good idea.

Neither of us has experience.

That's the point.

Dangerous and difficult.

That's what you wanted.

- Not this dangerous and difficult.

What's the worst thing

that could happen?

We'll add balloons,

and it'll go straight up.

This isn't that difficult.

We'll make one man fly anytime.

More helium, and he'll be airborne.

Anna.

- F***!

Can we talk? Assa is in danger.

Sure, if he hangs out with you.

Move, please.

Okay, not in danger, but losing it.

You're the only one he'll listen to.

This is a long story.

I would like you to trust me. Okay?

You want me to trust you?

Anna, I'm trying to fix things here.

- No, you're not.

You don't want to be happy,...

and that's why no one else

can be either.

I want to be happy. - Why don't
