however, I'm not sure I

can eat right now...

one of my front teeth hurts a lot...

can you take a look, please dear?"

"Yes, sure, no problem", he said

And the minute he turn his head

I took the drill and I shoved to his chest

That story sounds really interesting...

but I have to leave

I just remember I left some batteries

next to tree down there...

and the last thing I want is to lose them

Sorry

Did you catch rabbits?

No, someone brought them

Who?

Friend of mine

Do you want one?

No

You don't need to accept

rabbits from other people

If you need more rabbits,

just ask, and I'll bring more

Catching rabbit is difficult,

but I try to do better

There is no need for you to

be in debt to the others

Thank you very much

The man who brought you

rabbits, is he short-sighted?

I don't know, I don't think so

Ok

Is that a sparrow up that tree?

Can't really see that far, I don't think so

Are you short-sighted?

No

You're lying

it's truth

What does it say here?

YKK:

You knew that already

All zips say the same thing

I'm not short-sighted

I don't understand why

you won't believe me?

I can see you really clearly,

I used to be a pilot

You wear contact lenses

I don't wear contact lenses,

I'm not short-sighted, I swear

You're, you think I'm a

idiot and can't tell

Let me see

I want to see your eyes

Look up

Look up

Up, up,

Look down now

Look left

Look right

Up again

I'm sorry

I thought you try to fool me

I'm sorry

For this synchronization exercise,

we have to fully concentrate...

as we both have to press play

at the exactly the same time

Why don't we just use one headset?

Because that's the whole point

This is the exercise for us

We have to be totally synchronize

Ok

I'm ready

Ok

5...

4...

3...

2...

We developed a code that we can

communicate with each other...

even in front of the others without

them knowing what we're saying

When we turn our heads

to the left, it means...

"I love you more than

anything in the world"

When we turn our heads to

the right, it means...

"Watch out, we're in danger"

We have to be very careful in

the beginning not to mix up

"I love you more than

anything in the world"...

with "watch out, we're in danger"

When we raise out left arm, it means...

"I want to dance in you arm"

When we make a fist and

put it behind our back

It means "Let's f***"

The code grew, and grew as the time went by

And within a few weeks, we could

talk about almost anything...

without even opening our mouths

Stop it

That's enough, show my parents some respect

They're playing you music

That's ok

No mother, that's not ok

Please continue

Do you want me to play same

piece or something else

Something else

Didn't your parents play beautifully?

Yes they did, it's wonderful

We love each other, and we suit each other

And that's the reason why we

decide to leave the woods...

and stay together forever in the city

tomorrow, during the hunt,

we're going to disappear...

and everyone would think we been captured

And then we're going to turn

into dogs or canary something

I think the first thing I'm going

to do when I get into the city...

is buy a bathrobe

And then we're going to a pool

with high diving board...

perfect for diving

And then we do lots of different things

together, serious thing, not silly one...

like go for a walk in the park

or play the guitar together...

It stops there

There's notes at the back, but

I don't think it's important

Read the notes

Portofino:
Italy fishing village...

upmarket resort famous for

its picturesque harbour

Population:
439

Beachs nearby:
Paraggi

beach, Camogli, Chiavari...

and Lavagna

Serifos:
Greek island located

in the western Cyclades

Where did you find that?

By the river

Someone must've dropped it during the hunt

Give it to me

I'll take care of it

Can you imagine why I brought

you to such quiet place today?

No

Because I think it's the

perfect spot for your grave

Now cover yourself with soit

Use your hands

Over your face too

You wouldn't want your face to

get eaten by dogs, would you?

If you die before me, I'll visit

you as often as I can, I promise

I think we should leave right now

The three of us coming here...

in stead of two or four is very dangerous

How didn't we think it early

Highly likely the doctor will suspect us

I suggest that we leave

the first chance we get

Right now in the fact

Don't be afraid

No one will suspect a thing

I bet you aren't expect the surprise

isn't it wonderful?

Yes it is

Still I like a few days just

to think it over so that...

I could maybe have the surgery...

when next time come to the city?

What is that to think about?

It's better to see clearly, or

to be short-sighted? is that it?

That's absurd, you know that

Anyway, this doctor is the best as is

And it's very difficult

to get a appointment

I called him months ago to

get him to see you today

She's blind

Thank you

Throw down your knife and stand up

Why did you have to blind me?

You could blind him?

I have no idea what you're talking about

The drugs are messing with you head

If I were you, I would try and be a

little braver about the whole thing

And now get up and give me your knife

Or I'll hit you and take it by force

Here I come

I swear I'll kill you

Let go of my hair

You're hurting me

Just think that when someone goes blind

One of other senses is heightened

You could also capture a dog in the

woods, and train him to guide you

Dog can do that, you know?

I'll help you catch a dog myself

Now calm down, or I'm going

to leave you here...

and I don't think you'll manage to

find meeting of two on your own

Are you enjoying the view

Sure

What happened to your hand?

I was cutting a tree branch with a knife...

and I cut myself by accident

You look handsome today,

did you get you haircut?

Thank you, no, I didn't get my haircut

I'm going to get my haircut today

Look what I brought you?

Oh, thank you so much, I'm so

hungry, I'll eat it right away

it's a big flashlight

Oh, I'm sorry

It's so big, I thought it was a rabbit

The biggest flashlight I've ever seen

Are you ready for today

Of course I am

I want to tell you something,..

But please don't be angry

Ok, what's wrong?

I can't see anything

I'm blind

What do you mean?

There is no point to lying to you

You'll find out soon or later

Our leader blinded me in the city

She must've realised I

love you, you love me...

and we're going to run

away to the city together

I'm sorry

You can't see at all?

No, not at all

And why you asked for my haircut?

I was just saying that...

so you wouldn't realise I could't see

I'm sorry

Don't cry, cry will make our eyes hurt more

We'll find a way

What blood type are you?

B:

From the first time I saw

her, I knew she was the one

As she stared in my eyes and smiled

And her lips were the colour of the roses

That grew down the river,

all bloody and wild

Do you like berries? blue berries?
