You did a good job, Pertti.

- Yes, I did.

I was nervous before the gig.

I didn't know if I could do it.

It went really well.

- You pulled it off really well.

It went just as it was supposed to.

It was as good as it gets.

- That's right.

It's after one already.

Right?

Phew

I have cookies and everything.

They sure have a reason

to be grateful.

I'm coming!

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Welcome to

my rock 'n' roll birthday party.

You're wearing pants this time.

- Guess what I did?

Can you smell it?

- The man is wearing aftershave.

Siiri, I'm glad you could make it

to my birthday party

Welcome. Come on in.

- Happy birthday Pertti.

Happy birthday

Thanks.

Wowzers, what do we have here?

What have you come up with?

Is this..?

Is this a DVD?

- Yes.

Happy birthday once more.

- Thank you!

You know

why I'm crying tears of joy?

Because this is a day of joy for me.

Please find a seat.

- You've rearranged your furniture.

Oh yeah.

I see. More guests.

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Happy birthday

Thank you. Please come in.

We sure will.

I'm sad

that Sami Helle couldn't come...

to my birthday party.

I don't like this.

He just flakes out.

- Sami has his reasons.

Yeah, I know.

- That's the reason.

Next summer...

you, Toni and Aira

can come to my balcony

Sit on the balcony?

- Yes.

Kalle, you can bring your wife.

- Alright.

You're having a baby?

- In the summer we will.

Due in April.

- Great! Thais the spirit.

I knew it!

Kalle, I know how babies are born.

Please tell us.

Babies are born

when a man does this.

His sperm goes in here,...

into the wife's...

Inside her.

Then she gives birth

to a small child.

When the wife has given birth,...

the baby comes out carefully

If the child is healthy...

everyone congratulates the parents.

Congratulations, Kalle.

And to your wife, too.

A lovely child has come

into the world.

Would you like a glass?

- Thank you.

The Centre Party of Finland

aims at giving every Finn...

a chance for a better future.

We have to give our children

and young people a chance.

Their future is at stake

and I believe...

Their future is at stake

and I believe...

everyone has the right

to be safe at school,...

receive health care, work and study

With these thoughts, dear friends,...

I wish you all luck in the election.

Thank you for coming here today.

This is Sami.

- I-Ii, Mari.

Nice to meet you.

I've been following you guys.

You mean our band? I knew it!

You're celebrities.

- Yeah, I guess you could say that.

He signed up...

I signed up to volunteer for your

election campaign. - That's great.

I have to help you;

You're the chairwoman, after all.

I'm glad to hear that. Thank you.

I want to see you continue

in the government. - That's the way

We have a gig at Semifinal.

Are you coming? - No,

I'm leaving for Brussels tomorrow.

Okay, see you around.

- See you.

This is awesome.

Could I reschedule my pedicure...

so that I have time

to eat dinner, buy groceries,"

clean my room, listen to music...

and watch TV because today I have...

Kari, you have

something every night.

You see, I have...

I was planning to have

a quiet night at home.

I don't want Sami to come

everywhere with me.

It pisses me 011.

I'm not going back

to the group home. F***!

No f***ing way!

One day I'll blow up the group home.

Don't. it's my home, too.

Don't take your problems out on us.

It's between

you and the supervisors.

They force me

to go everywhere with you.

I can't do anything about it,

so shut up.

I can't do anything about it.

Talk to the supervisors.

Don't take it out on me.

Why do they do that?

- Don't ask me.

Why doesn't anybody understand

that they always force me

To hang out with these bastards

and go for a pedicure

F***in' pedicurists

They all suck big time

They just take care of your feet

They don't understand

Why the hell do pedicurists exist?

That's something I never figured out

They force me They force me

They always force me

It sucks that they force me

to get a pedicure

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

Kalle, I can't stand him

looking at me so angrily.

I can't play.

- Kari, don't look at Sami.

Yeah. He keeps glaring at me.

Pedicurist rist,

pedicurist, pedicurist...

F***!

if that's what Kari wants.

Play the gigs first.

- I won't play with him on Saturday.

I'll stay home. That's a fact.

I will.

This isn't nice.

You can start looking

for a new bassist...

if that's what Kari wants.

Let's go for coffee.

- I'm not going if he's coming.

You don't have to sit with him.

- I still won't.

I don't want to look at him.

Thanks for ruining my day

you shithead.

F***in' clown.

F***in' clown.

Hi, Sami!

- Bye.

F***! Sh*t!

Sh*t f***!

Sh*t f***!

F***ing hell!

F***ing a**hole!

Sh*t.

HELSINKI SCHOOL OF PEDICURE

You made it.

Kari, please hang your clothes here.

Please take your shoes 011.

Be careful with the edge.

- Sure.

Many people have very sensitive

feet. - Not me. I like this.

That's good.

I flew into a rage today at work.

I flew into a rage today at work.

I yelled at the top of my lungs

and almost threw a rock.

But you managed to control yourself.

Tell me if you don't feel well.

- No, I'm fine.

This is the life of a rock star.

Pertti always grabs

people's sleeves and...

pretends he's a snake.

He's the guitarist in our punk band.

I see.

I-low many of you are in the band?

There are four of us.

Cantare!

This makes you want to sing, huh?

We'll go check out some cars and...

motorcycles and

see what's going on inside.

That's right.

Wowzers.

That's a fine red Corvette.

- It sure is.

I agree.

Listen, Kari.

- Great music.

Yes.

I want to get engaged to Sirkka

and marry her...

because she's a nice woman

and a nice person.

She cares about me...

and she's chubby enough and big.

She's a judo wrestler.

She's practiced judo,

but that doesn't bother me...

because I like judo.

It's a nice, intense sport.

When it comes to living together,...

it's possible that when we've been

engaged long enough,...

one day

in the course of our lives,...

we might move in together.

That's the plan.

I think everyone has the right

to make a decision...

about where and how they want

and would like to live.

That's why I wrote a song about it.

I don't want to live

in a group home.

I don't want to live

in an institution.

I want to live in Kallio.

In the privacy of a bomb shelter.

Go, Kari!

One, two, three, four.

I don't want to live

in a group home

I don't want to live

in an institution

I want to live in Kallio

in the privacy of a bomb shelter

Kallio is good, for sure

T66I6 is a real bore

Kallio will always excite you

And there's so much more to do

I need a little respect
