The Lobster

---

I'm really sorry

Does he wear glasses or contact lens?

Glasses

You would have to hurry up

He decided his brown leather

shoes were the best pair to wear

His back hurt a little, but not

like some other time in the past...

when the pain was intolerable

He was thinking his wife doesn't

love him at all anymore

He didn't burst into tear

and he didn't think...

things most people do...

when they realise someone doesn't

love them anymore is cry

Sir, would you mind take a look

into the camera here for me?

That's ok, thank you

Have you ever been on your own before?

No, never

Are you allergic to any food?

No

Your last relationship last how many years?

Around 12

Do you remember how long exactly sir?

Eleven years and seven months

Sexual preference?

Women

However I had one homosexual experience...

in the past, in college

Is there bisexual option available?

No sir, this option is no longer

available since about last summer...

due to several operational problems

I'm afraid you have yo decide right now

if you want to be registered as...

homosexual or heterosexual

I think I should be

registered as heterosexual

Any children sir?

No

And dog?

My brother, he was here couple of

years ago, but he didn't make it

You might remember him

Medium built, 48 years old,

bald patch, blond hair

I'm afraid no sir

Ok, I like you to write your

name clearly on this form

In capital letter and sign please

Very good, thank you very much

So, you're not allow to use

volley-ball or tennis court

These are only for the couples

You can use facility for individual

sports such as squash and golf

You can stay at hotel for up to 45 days

You would be staying at the single room

If everything goes well and you make it,

you would be moved to a double room

I'm afraid you can't keep any

of your personal belongings

We will provide everything

you need as far as...

garments, accessories,

and shoes are concerned

You can keep this

Thank you

Shoe size please

44 and a half

44 or 45? there's no half sizes

If you need a hair cut, call reception

one day ahead, smoking is not allowed

That you would be able to run for longer

during the hunt without getting tired...

and you breath won't smell when you kiss

Enjoy your stay

Excuse me

If we need to get hair cut, we must call

reception a day before, is that right?

That's right

Great

His room number was 101

A tranqulizer gun...

was hanging on the wall above his bed

On the table were 20 tranquilzer darts...

a black plastic watch, a

pair of sunglasses...

and a cologne for man

Inside the wardrobe were four

identical grey trousers...

four identical button down

shirts in white and blue...

a belt, socks, underwear, a blazer...

a striped tie and a white bathrobe

He looked out of window

The unconscious bodies

of captured loners...

were lying on the wet ground

"Thank God they wear those water

proof ponchos", he thought

Room 195

Two loners, two extra days

Room 272

One loner, one extra day

Hello, I'm the hotel manager, and

this gentleman is my partner

We like to welcome you

You're one of the lucky one

You have one of our supreme room

which means you have a view

Did you read the lease list

Yes it is

Very good

Now the fact you turning into a animal...

if you fail to fall in love with

someone during your stay here...

is not something should

upset you or get you down

Just think as a animal...

you have a second chance

to find a companion

But even then you must be careful

You need to choose a companion

that is similar type animal...

to you

A wolf and a penguin can

never live together

Nor a camel and a hippopotamus

That would be absurd, think about it

I understand this discussion

is a little unpleasant for you

But it is my duty to prepare you...

psychologically for all possible outcomes

Now have you thought of what animal

you like to be if end up alone?

Yes, a lobster

Why a lobster? Because lobster

live for over one hundred years

Are blue blood like aristocrat...

and stay fertile all their life

I also like the sea very much

I water ski, swim quite

well since I was a teenager

I must congratulate you, the first

thing most people think of is a dog...

which is why the world is full of dogs

Very few people choose unusual animal...

which is why they are in danger

A lobster is a excellent choice

Could you stand for us please?

This is to show you how easy life is...

when there are two of something

rather than just one

We tend to forget that from time to time

The handcuff will be removed

the same time tomorrow

I'm sorry bob

Hope you enjoy staying with us

Goodbye

Have a good day

Good morning

Room 101, 44 days left

Breakfast is served

His first day was one he never forget

Near his table of breakfast

sat a young women...

with her head tilted back

Later he would learn...

she often got nose bleed

Next to her sat her best friend

He thanked the waiter who

served his coffee...

and thought about his wife for a moment

A woman who seems to like butter biscuit...

offered one to a man drinking...

a Compari soda for breakfast

He then looked behind him saw a woman...

who would later find out

was absolutely heartless

And some others in the couple's area...

whom he may never meet

druing his stay at the hotel

That morning he was really hungry

He could eat a whole chicken...

but ate almost nothing

Room 187, day 2

Hello everyone

My mother was left on her own when my

father fell in love with a woman...

who was better at math than she was

She has postgraduate degree, I think

While my mother only a graduate

I was 19 at the time

My mother entered the hotel but didn't

make it and was turning into a wolf

I really miss her

I found out she's been moved to a zoo

I often went there to see her

I give her raw meat

I knew the wolf like raw meat

But I couldn't figure out which

of the wolves was my mother

So I used to give a little

bit to each of them

One day I decided to enter the enclosure

I really missed her and I wanted a hug

I climbed the fence and jumped in

All the wolves charged

at once and attacked me

All but two stood motionless

I guess one of those two must be my mother

The zoo guard got to me quite

quickly and took me to the hospital

Thankfully I didn't lose my leg

I just had this limp

Which also is my defining characteristic

My wife died six days ago

She was very beautiful

and I love her very much
