Uno Page #2

Synopsis: Uno is a story from inner-city Oslo about David, a twentyfive-year-old with few prospects for the future. His days are spent hanging around with petty criminals at an inner-city gym. Still, it's better than home: His father is terminally ill, his brother is mentally handicapped, and he's unable to connect with his mother.But then, as his father is on his deathbed, the gym is raided by the police. David chooses to betray his friends in the hope of reaching his father for a last farewell. But it's too late. With his father dead and his mother grief-stricken, he's also forced to take responsibility for his brother on top of fighting off his former underworld friends. The crisis makes David realize what's truly important in his life: his family. He starts assuming responsibility for both his past and his future. By losing everything, David is given a chance to start over from scratch and rebuild his life.

I need to get done.

I can watch Kjetil,

if you still want me to.

What about your job?

I can't help you,

if you don't say anything.

- It's nothing you can help me with.

- Mom!

Coming!

- You're cheating again.

- No, I'm not.

I'm watching you cheating!

- It's your turn.

- No, it isn't. Lift up your pillow.

I won't play with you if you cheat.

I need a word with you, David.

- About what?

- Let's talk in the car.

Ali, shut that dog up!

- What's going on?

- Move your head! I can't see.

- Your beef is with Lars or Jarle.

- No, it isn't.

- I'm getting my money from you.

- I don't owe you.

I don't have anything

to do with this.

- You need to talk to Lars.

- I was told to deal with you.

I either want the stuff,

or the money. Today.

I don't have anything

to do with that.

- You said Wednesday. That's today.

- Lars said Wednesday!

- You said Wednesday!

- Listen to me, Khuram!

You gave me too little.

So you have a problem.

Do you understand?

I want that money today!

- I want it today!

- OK! Let go!

Let go...

Today!

Kjetil?

Kjetil?

Kjetil...

Want me to sit here with you?

I want daddy to come home.

Kjetil, where are you going?

Kjetil, you're supposed to sleep.

Kjetil?

- I want to be with you.

- You can't be with me now.

Kjetil...

He's my brother.

Here's 8000. That's all I've got.

I'll get the rest later.

Come on in.

Khuram...

Kjetil...

Kjetil!

- Let's take care of this.

- Come in here.

I made this.

It's good.

There you go.

Thanks.

- 8000?

- Yes.

So you owe me 32,000?

- Yes.

- Fine.

Come on, Kjetil.

Stop kidding around.

We're leaving now.

Come on.

We can't take the dog with us.

It isn't ours.

- What are you doing?

- Khuram?

Hi.

It's Salima.

Hang on. She's coming.

You want the dog?

Take it with you.

- No, thanks.

- I'll sell it to you cheap.

I've got papers on it.

You can have it cheap.

- 10,000.

- For a dog? Are you crazy?

- Kjetil!

- David! Stop it. Take the dog.

- Take the dog.

- Wait, Kjetil!

Take the dog for a week. If you're

happy, we'll add it to your debt.

I'm just borrowing it, OK?

- Take your coat off.

- I'm going to my room.

Take your coat off first.

Take your coat off.

Stop kidding around.

- Did you take something from Khuram?

- No.

Are you sure?

Yes.

What've you got under there?

What's under your coat?

Stop it!

Go to bed.

Wait here, Kjetil.

Where are you going?

Kjetil, come here!

- What are you doing?

- I want ice cream.

It's cold outside, and you

just had breakfast. Come on.

I want ice cream.

- Did you bring your money?

- Yes.

What kind do you want?

- That one.

- Fine. That one?

- I want two ice creams.

- You only get one.

- But I want two.

- Listen to me...

You can't afford it.

You don't have enough money.

Mom gives you

This ice cream costs 15.

That only leaves you 5.

Buy two today,

and you won't get any tomorrow.

- But I want ice cream.

- Sure, but you can't afford two.

But I want two ice creams.

- You f***ed Khuram's sister?

- Yeah. Don't tell anyone.

- Has anyone talked to David?

- No.

- Are you dating her?

- I'd never date a Paki!

There's David's mongo brother.

Forget it, Lars.

Don't!

- OK.

- Thank you.

David?

He isn't here.

- If it isn't the snitch!

- Lars, don't...

The rest of us kept our mouths shut!

Kjetil, let's go.

- Don't, Lars.

- Why did you squeal?

- Ask your father.

- Why did you squeal?

- Are you deaf?

- I don't want to fight.

Are you hard of hearing?

Why did you squeal?

I don't want any more trouble

with your dad!

That's enough!

I said I didn't want

any more trouble with you!

Stay down there!

- I told you not to do anything!

- Morten!

David, it's Khuram.

Did you take anything from my place?

Did you take something?

Hello?

Wait in the car!

Mom!

Mom, don't answer!

- Listen to me!

- What's going on?

Come here!

In here!

- Hello?

- I've got some flowers...

Listen...

Come here, Kjetil.

You stay in here.

- Go to your room!

- Listen, mom...

And you do as I say!

Go get him.

Leave us alone.

Mona!

It won't help

if I don't get to talk to David now.

The only thing that happens,

is that I'll get more irritated.

He's not here.

Stretch him out!

- Khuram...

- No!

It's not your turn to talk.

Understand?

Khuram...

- No! Stay there!

- Please, Khuram...

Just sit there and shut up!

You f***ed

the wrong little sister, Morten!

Straighten your leg.

No!

Hey...

I said straighten your leg.

Straighten your leg!

I'll never touch her again!

Morten!

- Hello?

- Jennifer, is Jarle there?

- Who is it?

- Morten.

The Pakis do that to you?

Did you send Khuram after me?

- Did you guys tell Khuram?

- I just told him what you did.

Why the f*** did you do that?

Nobody stands by

while my son gets beat up.

But you came out OK, didn't you?

Quiet!

Can we talk?

I just got beat up by Khuram. He

brought this other Paki with him...

Because Jarle told him that I had...

You know, Khuram's sister...

David!

David...

I need your help.

- Hi, Morten.

- Hi...

What are you mixed up in now?

- I need to talk to you.

- Talk!

I'm trying.

Go ahead, Morten.

Get the hell out of here!

You shut up, mom.

How can you ask me for help now?

Listen to me!

I've been all alone.

Do you understand that?

You don't have the right

to ask for a damn thing!

You squealed, David.

What is it, Kjetil?

- I want to be with you.

- I'll be right up.

I just need to talk to Morten,

then I'll come up.

Can't we do this tomorrow?

I thought you wanted to talk.

I'm totally beat.

I'm going to bed.

Kjetil, we have to get up.

We have to get up.

Can't you go now either, Kjetil?

Can't you discard?

Let me see your cards.

You can discard that one,

then I'll discard this.

Let me look at your cards.

You can discard half these cards.

- You don't know how to play, do you?

- Sure...

You need to discard.

You want to get rid of your cards.

You want to get rid of everything.

Green goes on green.

Place it on the table.

That's how you play.

If you don't have any green,

you change colors with this.

Change to yellow,

and play all your yellow cards.

And so on.

Red goes on red. Blue goes on blue.

Red on red, blue on blue.

And so on.

Until you have only one card left.

When you have one card left,

you're supposed to say "Uno."

- Uno.

- If you can discard that, -

- so you don't have any cards left,

you're done.

Then you're free.

You've won.

Look at you two...

- Can you get the door, Kjetil?

- Who is it?

- You're all dressed up.

- Hi, Morten.

- What's the occasion?

- The funeral is today.

- You done, Kjetil?

- Yes.

- You didn't tell Morten about dad?

- He hasn't been interested.

- Need help with that?

- Yes.

- Are you doing any better, David?

- No.

Once when you were young,

I asked you -

- what you would do if I died.

Do you remember what you answered?

You said, "Then I'd have to make

my own pancakes."

What are you doing?

You know I hate dogs, but you

can't keep the damn door shut?
