Lakki... The Boy Who Could Fly (1992) Movie Script
Lakki... The Boy Who Could Fly
Lakki!
Lakki.
It's almost 10:00.
What will the
teachers think of us?
They don't notice
whether I'm there or not.
We made an agreement.
Oh, God.
I go back to bed.
Has the money from Dad arrived?
Your father has
never been reliable.
I need money for
my school lunch.
Do you have any money, Siss?
We were talking about texture...
Little bastard!
I need money for cigarettes.
He's becoming
more like his father.
Take off your shoes!
I won't be able to
get them on again.
How come I never see you here?
Wanna buy it?
Only two bucks.
This piece of junk?
It doesn't even cost one.
Don't set fire to your rug.
Go to the locker room.
You're killing me!
You are going in the pool,
even if it takes me all night.
Stop that! Damn it!
Damn it!
No underwear?
You little faggot.
- I'm reporting you for rape.
- Don't make me puke.
Your mind is dirty too.
Go! Go! Go! ...
Go! Go! Go! ...
There's only one
way down from here.
I've got all the
time in the world.
I've got all the
time in the world.
Lakki! Lakki! Lakki! ...
I'm very pleased to hear it,
Mrs. Oscarsson Felmer.
It's very important that parents support
what we to do in the school environment.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Your mother would
like a word with you.
Hello.
Some of your teachers
are dreadful, aren't they?
They're okay.
I want you to know that you
have my full support, sweetheart.
It's not easy for me, either.
No.
Sweetheart, I'm going to
make us a wonderful dinner...
and we'll have a nice
evening when you get home.
You are coming home?
What about the others?
I threw him out.
Siss is sleeping.
Siss! Siss!
Are you in pain?
No.
This gang, do you
associate with them?
What gang?
- The one in the park.
- I've never meet them.
Do you smoke hash?
No.
According to your mother, you
don't get much help from your father.
Yes, I do.
At least he doesn't drink.
I'm going to stay
with him this weekend.
Aha.
He's strong.
Okay.
I don't want to be here.
Are you having an attack?
I don't have any attacks.
That's just something
you made up.
There. There.
Don't touch me.
You don't like
people touching you?
Piss off!
Have you ever
been subjected to...
You have a dirty mind.
At your previous school you
were seeing a psychologist.
I'm not going to a psychologist.
But it was going well.
No, it wasn't.
Adults understand nothing!
My baby.
How beautiful you are.
What about a little kiss for Aunt Siss?
Is dinner ready?
Almost.
That idiotic PE teacher...
Who is he?
I don't give a shit.
He's got a sexy voice.
Hey!
You know how I get friendly
when I've had a little to drink...
I invited him to dinner.
Who?
The PE teacher, Andersen,
or whatever his name is.
When?
Today, 5:00.
Lakki, don't upset yourself!
You'll get an attack!
I don't get any damn attacks!
Mom, you promised!
We had a deal!
You broke your part of it!
You broke yours first,
bringing scum home!
Stop looking at me!
Now, calm down, Lakki.
Lakki! Please!
Don't touch me!
You think I'm crazy,
but I'm not!
I'm calling him.
- Who is it?
- It's me.
- Who?
- Lakki.
Lakki, I'm with a client at the moment.
I'll pick you up in the morning.
I want to come now.
You got school tomorrow.
We're off.
The PE teacher dropped
dead in the locker room.
- Vibeke has to go to her prenatal class.
- You have to pick me up.
Damn it, my client
just walked out, Lakki.
I can't stand being here.
Is she on a binge?
She's in the kitchen,
making dinner.
I'm going out when
Vibeke gets home.
- I can't stand listening to it anymore.
- To what?
How they moan and
scream all night long.
Okay.
I'll see you at the bus
stop by the bridge at 4:30.
Are you leaving me?
Get in.
Get in!
I don't want that
mess in the car.
Is that really what she says?
Well, I'll tell you something.
I pay more than
I'm obligated to.
The house, the car, and that
damn alimony on top of that.
As if that wasn't enough,
Vibeke tells me she's pregnant.
Completely unplanned,
just like you.
Dear God.
I think I'll go to bed.
Already?
I was up at six this morning.
You look like a
sailboat in a storm.
Fuck!
Mia!
Mia!
I was just having some fun.
I must sleep. I haven't
shut my eyes all night.
- Spare me!
- You became friends with him, too.
- Don't misuse that word.
- No, because you don't have any friends.
Look at me now.
Long strokes.
Easy. Easy. Nice.
Daddy.
Daddy.
What are you saying?
Dad's on the sea. Dead.
Where is he?
Hans?!
Were you awake?
Did you see him go?
He went out to sea.
And there's still two
nights until a full moon.
Hans!
No, we mustn't shout.
Who knows who hears us.
We're going home today.
Aren't we going to look for Dad?
He'll come back, if he wants to.
What if he's been killed?
No, there's nothing to
be frightened of, Lakki.
Lakki, you are going
to take a bath, at once.
I can't bear dirty kids.
God, I am happy.
The bathroom is flooding!
A drop of water won't hurt.
The whole building's rotten, anyway.
It's just what the landlord
deserves. Bravo, Lakki!
This is how it'll
always be, Lakki.
Dancing, laughing
and being together.
You have a child!
I fucking doubt it!
You can't just run off!
Damn it, I hate you!
Damn it, I love you!
No!
I can't take it!
Damn you!
Thanks for breakfast.
You're welcome.
Was it all right?
Yes.
More coffee?
No, thanks.
Hello. Good morning.
My name is...
Are you still here?
Where have you been?
I'm sorry, forgive me.
But I was so frightened.
Darling, if only you'd give
me a reason, any reason.
You're not having one
of your attacks, are you?
The fuck I am!
I'm never coming here again!
Let go of me!
Lakki.
Aren't you at your father's?
Yes. I just came to
pick up something.
What was that?
My condoms.
Dad's waiting for me in the garage.
I've got to go.
That's a pity.
Well, this wasn't exactly
what I'd planned, Lakki.
I think you've met before.
You look like a
young girl in that hat.
You think so?
Burn that fucking hat!
It makes you look ten years older.
Shit!
I saw you take something back there.
Wait a minute, I just want to talk to you.
- I want to tell you about Jesus.
- Piss off!
- Look, do you want to earn 30 bucks?
- Doing what?
Just having a cola and
talking to me for a bit.
- Fuck off!
- I'm so lonely.
- Wherever you like.
- No!
Okay.
Half an hour.
Just talking for 50 bucks.
- No touching!
- Are you mad?
God would never forgive me.
Bullshit!
What's your name?
Everyone calls me Tarzan.
Tarzan Andersen.
That's nice.
What about that cola?
Right.
Make yourself at home.
- Got to go to the bathroom.
- Are you sick?
Don't touch me!
Say what you wanted to say,
and let's get it over with.
Will you do me a favor first?
No, I think I must be ill.
It'll soon pass.
I'll give you another 20 bucks,
if you put these on.
Give me the money!
Give me the money!
I've been here 20 minutes.
I want 30 bucks.
You fell for it.
You little slut.
I've been watching you for a long time.
You and your whore of a mother.
I know how you make your money,
you little whore.
Where's my money?
Take whatever you want, just not
the Buddha my mother gave me.
Andersen. Andersen.
Hi.
Hi.
Why are you so strange?
I don't know.
Why are you so strange? ...
Wanna buy some dope?
Good Maroc.
I'm only into Nepal.
I can get that.
- I don't have any money.
- Are you broke?
Here.
I'm not into that.
Come on. You can
accept a gift, can't you?
- Let's go.
- Where to?
I wanna show you something.
During a terrible heat wave at
an oasis in the middle of a desert...
a group of young girls and boys made
themselves some strong, yellow tea...
brewed from the leaves
of dried marijuana plants.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a castle
appeared right out of the desert...
- and an orchestra started playing.
- How far is it?
Not far.
- What's your name?
- Lakki.
Okay.
I don't think I can.
Take it, and I'll show
you something beautiful.
If you don't take it,
it won't be beautiful.
I'll take it.
Come.
Watch your step.
Actually, there's no reason to be quiet,
but people always are, aren't they?
Was this where you got the tea,
in the desert?
We haven't reached
the desert, yet.
- You're so...
- You're actually really ugly.
But when you relax,
you become beautiful.
You mustn't be so
hard on yourself.
Shall we continue
to the desert land?
I'm already there.
It's just pretend.
You fooled me.
It's just pretend.
But look. Look!
You're a magician, Tim.
How wonderful.
No!
No!
Tim, I'm scared!
You've got to put out the fire.
You haven't done
this before, have you?
I've seen a lot of fires.
- Just lie down for a bit, and it'll pass.
- But the fire!
- Forget the fire.
- I can see it!
Lie down!
Don't disturb me. I'm making a
model of space with my marbles.
But isn't that really difficult?
I've got contacts out there.
I talk to them and
they tell me what to do.
Lie down.
Don't go!
I don't want to be left alone!
You won't be alone.
I'm coming.
The connections
are hopeless today.
Why's that?
'Cause of the phone
company, idiot.
Tim!
I forgot to lock the door.
Open up!
You little crook!
Get the kid.
Sasha sit! Come here!
Stop this bullshit.
You don't fool us anymore, loser.
Ever heard of the
boy who cried wolf?
Wolf!
For fuck's sake, Tim,
he's just a kid.
- You're finished!
- You're the one who's finished.
Do you want a cigarette?
That shooter's never
had any lead in it.
I'm gonna kill you!
You're not going to kill anyone.
You're just a regular acid-head.
Take him!
Don't try to hide
anything from me.
Show me the money!
- What the fuck. You look terrible.
- I don't want blood on me!
Take this.
For Christ's sake, take it.
Sugar won't help.
It's not sugar.
You sniff it.
- It smells nice?
- I've made some tea with cardamom.
- With sugar?
- Loads of sugar.
Wonderful.
I want you to have this.
Keep it.
If you get sick
when you get home,
say it's the flu.
I'm not going home.
Of course you are.
What else are you going to do?
I thought that we'd hang out.
You don't know the first
thing about the life I live.
You have no idea
of the things I do.
What sort of things?
Deals with really bad guys.
I can't talk about it.
Tell me.
You're going home.
I want to be like you.
- What are you talking about?
- Clever, brave, strong.
You're wrong.
I'm none of those things.
It's just an act I put on.
Just like me.
Listen, Lakki.
If you wanna be brave and strong,
you've got to do it on your own.
So embarrassing.
I'm never like this.
It's all right, Lakki.
What did we take?
Cocaine?
Unfortunately not.
My dear Lakki.
- Are you sick?
- Don't touch me.
Your father called.
Where have you been?
No.
What I don't know, et cetera.
I can't for the life of me understand
what he sees in that anemic girl.
Lakki, I've been
worried sick about you.
Do you believe me?
I want us to be
open with each other.
Why did you lie
about the alimony?
- I don't know.
- You must know.
The more I know about myself,
the less I understand.
I'm going to bed.
I think I've got the flu.
You haven't been
sleeping outside, have you?
- My relationship with men,...
- Shut up!
Don't touch me!
We'll talk about
this some other time.
No!
Who's been sleeping in my bed
and made a mess of my chessboard?
Lakki, darling...
Terry snored so terribly,
I couldn't take it.
- Couldn't you have slept in my room?
- Terry wouldn't hear of it.
- He's a gentleman.
- Change the sheets.
Yes, dear, right away.
Lakki.
What?
Your father wants to
speak to you on the phone.
Let me wake up first.
He can wait,
but he says it's important.
- Is Tarzan here?
- Tarzan?
That's what we call him at school.
He'd be flattered to hear that.
King of the Apes.
Are you being impudent?
I haven't got time
to yell at you now.
They've told Vibeke it's
going to be a breech birth.
Your mother is
totally spineless.
You know how
sensitive Vibeke is.
And you obviously
have a bad effect on her.
You can be a bit intimidating.
And you've got your
mothers temper, on top of it all.
Where do you get it all from?
Suddenly you just run off.
Lakki, are you listening to me?
Yeah, yeah.
So, anyway, we think it's best
you don't come here anymore.
What did you say?
No, never, never!
There can be no question
of you coming here
unless your behavior, and your
appearance, change radically.
You can tell that fat,
ugly bitch from me
that I'm glad I won't have to
look at her pig face anymore!
We'll have to meet
somewhere else.
I never want to see you again!
Lakki, please...
You fucking scumbag,
fucking pimp!
Lakki!
Monday, 6:00.
The Lionheart restaurant.
We were there for Christmas.
I know what's wrong with her!
She doesn't get enough cock!
Don't look at me!
I've been starving all evening.
I was waiting for
you to wake up.
Come, let's make
something to eat.
Do you think the cod is ready?
And the catfish?
Good. Are you ready?
What did I do with the fork?
Thank you.
There are the leeks.
The egg yolk.
Will you open this?
I can't see that, my angel.
And the shrimp...
Are you ready?
Did you get all out?
Good. Put it in and stir it.
Make sure you mix it good.
Then the sour cream.
God, my hair...
The shrimp and the mussels...
Will you cut the onions,
sweetheart?
Has something got stuck?
I remember once in Brittany,
your father and I...
You're not doing badly.
Don't burn yourself.
When I get so old that
men lose interest in me,
I shall eat garlic with
every single meal.
I'm looking forward to that.
Did you know that in ancient Persia,
long before Jesus...
Will you take the
plates and spoons?
How is my hair?
Just fine.
You're so kind.
Did you hear what I
was saying about Persia?
Yeah, it was very interesting.
I'm so pleased that
you're interested in history.
I loved it when I was in school.
You should've seen the old boots
I had to wear in 5th and 6th grade.
My father was in the hospital.
We were so poor...
Or was it 4th grade?
Anyway, we had this lovely teacher,
from the west coast.
She had a lisp.
So when she spoke about
"the Angles and Saxons"...
Here comes the food.
So, when all the other
girls began wearing jeans
and tight jumpers
to show off their tits,
I had to wear
this awful dress
that my mother sewed from fabric
she bought at a clearance sale.
Will you fetch me the ladle?
And rubber boots...
Okay, Lakki, I won't
mention these things again.
Are you going to see him again?
Have you inherited your father's
tendency to argue during supper?
Well, are you?
I can't stop myself.
This is Dad's recipe, isn't it?
Is there too much garlic?
No, it's great.
- Was I a bit heavy with the wine?
- No. Just right.
It's only supposed to be one glass,
but I couldn't stop myself.
You see, Lakki, your father
and I were not a very good match.
He was too much of a man
and I was too much of a woman.
I know.
What has he told you
about these things?
Nothing.
It doesn't surprise me.
What's she like?
This Vivian?
Vibeke?
Yes.
Completely different from you.
Let's be serious for a moment.
I've been rather obsessed
with this bodybuilder.
I know you have
difficult relationship with.
To come straight out with it...
He fucks like a god,
but he's an idiot.
Well, my cards are on the table.
Now, I want to see yours.
Where were you last night?
I stayed with a friend.
I didn't think you
had that many.
Just the one.
And who's that?
His name's... Ned.
You're not quite sure?
- Ned Leukhart.
- Dutch?
- American.
- Watch out for the Dutch!
They're the biggest
pushers around.
An American?
A grown man?
- He's in a band.
- Is that supposed to reassure me?
Tell me.
Don't torment me any longer.
- I got to know him a bit.
- How?
You've got soup on your face.
I'll have soup
wherever I damn please!
I give up.
I give up.
What are you up to?
It's nothing dangerous.
I met him in a snack bar.
He wanted to know
where I'd got my sweater.
That damn sweater.
I told him I didn't know
where I was going to sleep.
He told me he was living
with a girl he'd met on tour.
On tour?
It was really good. We listened to
records, and looked at pictures and...
May I ask, then, why were you
so sick and red-eyed this morning?
I got drunk.
You mean they got you drunk!
No, no. But I had a few
more after they went to bed...
Spare me the details.
Are you drinking, Lakki?
Are you kidding?
Mind you, I wasn't more than 13.
I'm 14.
The first time I got drunk...
I was wearing tennis shoes,
a blue skirt and a white blouse.
They guy I was dancing
with was terrible...
What was his name?
Jonas?
Jrgen.
His name was Jrgen.
Jrgen, that's right.
He was always groping
at my nonexistent tits.
Suddenly, I was
just lying there.
Luckily, he was so
drunk he couldn't get it up.
The next day I had
grass stains on my blouse,
and I'd lost my necklace.
- Hello, son.
- Sorry. I was 15 minutes late.
You could've tidied
yourself up a bit.
Eddi, the menu.
And what would
junior like to drink?
A cola. Cold.
How about a lemonade? Otherwise
I'll have to go to the cellar.
Okay.
I think I'll have steak.
We had cola after all.
One roast beef with potato salad,
and one rump steak with onions.
Not the roast beef. The meat's
tough as leather today. The entrecote...
I'll have the Wiener Schnitzel.
As you wish.
I want my steak rare.
Pepper only, no salt.
A gentleman with character.
- Is it necessary to dress like a beggar?
- Yes.
Haven't you got any hobbies
like other boys your age?
Football, horse riding, swimming?
Jesus, you're almost 16.
Fifteen. In six months.
What about girls?
Been laid yet?
What's that?
Forget it.
When I was your age we
had to use our imagination.
We did things...
The whole summer, we were out on the fjord.
Boating, swimming and diving.
Every winter and Easter,
we went skiing in the mountains.
Broke arms and legs, then
danced through the night.
Don't slouch.
Don't you have PE
at school anymore?
- Of course we fucking do.
- Don't swear.
I got strong as a panther.
The ladies like a
man with muscles.
Feel.
It wasn't all like that.
Lakki,
when I was a child I froze.
I mean here, deep in the soul.
I can't remember my
parents ever laughing.
It is strange...
that everything has become so...
Damn.
You left us.
Where's that damn food?
Please, I want to hear more.
Don't worry about me.
I'm just overworked.
- Here we go.
- Thanks Eddi.
- I wasn't having the roast beef?
- We're out of the schnitzel.
- But what do you call this?
- It's all the same animal.
Schnitzel is pig.
Steak is cow.
Not here, it isn't. It's all cow.
Take it away. I'll have steak also.
Medium rare, lots of onions.
Shape up, Eddi.
The Buddha.
Are you okay, Lakki?
Lakki?
No.
- And another cola for the boy.
- I'll have to go to cellar for it.
Then go to the cellar!
Do you want me to follow you?
Not necessary.
I'm really two people, Lakki.
In many ways, I'm a snob.
I can't stand women
smoking in the street,
or when people say "cock"
and "cunt" on the radio.
Just the thought of
it makes me blush.
On the other hand...
I loved the life in our
old apartment building.
Washing the stairs...
The rat poison I
ran around with.
All the hysterical parties we
had where I would strip naked.
You slept through
those, of course.
Did you really think so?
Is that really what you thought?
All that stuff. Middle of the
'70s, beginning of the '80s...
The time those two chicks...
Do you still say "chicks"?
...came sailing in here...
Siss and your mother.
Siss with half a bottle
of sherry in her bag.
Do you know what?
The waiter let them drink it.
He even brought them glasses.
"I can't stand men in ties.",
was the first thing she said.
Then she took it off me
and put it under her blouse.
"You can come get it
tomorrow," she said.
Did you?
I didn't have the guts.
She wasn't wearing any panties.
- But what about the tie?
- I said she could keep it.
She's still got it.
What happened?
I fell head over heels in love.
Do you know where
you were conceived?
Careful.
Eddi!
Eddi, another one damn it.
And get a move
on with that cola.
What does "conceived" mean?
We fucked, okay?
And right there and then
one of my sperm met her egg...
and became a baby.
A boy.
You Lakki.
Where was I conceived, then?
At a party after a
pro-abortion demonstration.
I got so turned on that I
dragged her into the bathroom.
- Why no abortion?
- Never!
I would never let
a woman do that.
Many thanks, Eddi.
You've been to the
cellar as well, I see.
It smells wonderful.
Don't be upset, Eddi.
You'll have to excuse me.
Things are a bit hectic at the moment.
Great, Eddi. Many thanks.
There's only one
woman in my life, Lakki.
Your mother.
No!
Then why did you leave us?
We clawed each other to death.
Sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Of course I want to go on meeting
you, but Vibeke hasn't got the nerves.
What nerves?
What have I done?
She's jealous.
You look too much
like your mother.
Shall I be punished for that?
You know how women are...
Feelings and feelings.
She won't allow
me to have a past.
- What about herself?
- She was 20 when we met.
She'd just left home,
practically a virgin.
I was lonely.
- What's a man supposed to do?
- I don't want to hear any more.
Everything changes
when you have kids.
Ha, ha, ha!
Go on and say it, you've got
to go home to fatso. Damn it.
I don't want to go home.
When you get older,
maybe we'll be able to communicate.
Communicate?! Bullshit!
What's the point of marriage
if it's such a fucking drag?
Do you know what loneliness is?
Bullshit!
- 5 minutes and 13.4 seconds.
- What?
That's how long that drink took.
Buy me a beer, will you?
I got the beer.
But if you don't take your feet
off the table, they'll throw us out.
- Do you understand?
- Screw the beer.
I won't do it again.
I promise.
Don't drink from the bottle!
People will think I picked
you up at a public restroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
You can't sleep here.
- Where's my father?
- Didn't he go home?
He went to the toilet.
I'd better go and see.
There's no point.
He left.
- Bye.
- What about the rest of the juice?
- I don't drink schnapps.
- Schnapps?
It's just juice. Drink it.
Can you make me some toast?
Slept well?
I don't want that coffee.
Beg your pardon.
I didn't sleep a wink
because of your snoring.
- You said you didn't want coffee?
- I didn't want that coffee.
What's that?
I told you,
he's at a difficult age.
There's too much talk about
problems of "puberty." In my day...
It's no longer "your day"
and life is not a PE class.
There are some problems that
can't be solved with push-ups.
Push-ups are out.
All sports...
Take your damn sport
and shove it up your ass.
It's my son we're talking about.
I know what it is.
A sex toy.
Good to have in bed.
I'm going to buy
some cigarettes.
You think my mom likes you,
but she's only after your dick.
Christ knows why,
everyone knows you're into boys.
It says so in the toilets at school.
Everybody talks about it.
You dirty, little...
- If Mom comes, she'll call the police.
- I'm warning you.
- You don't stand a chance and you know it.
- Is it true about the toilet walls?
Sure is.
It's written in permanent
ink so it can't be washed off.
But it's not true!
Lakki, I know it's silly,
but I've fallen in love with him.
He's such a good man.
Damn runts.
Damn runts.
School psychologist.
Dear Lakki and Siss.
Don't come looking for me.
Love, Mia. Mother.
23-68-77.
Hello.
Hello, Siss?
Lakki, what's wrong?
I don't know.
What are you saying?
Is something's wrong?
I found a note when I got home.
It said, "Dear Lakki and Siss.
Don't come looking for me.
Love, Mia. Mother."
Oh, my God,...
then she's done it.
"She's done it."
What has she done?
- Have you checked her bedroom?
- The door's locked.
Kick it in, damn it.
Are you there?
You have to be in there.
Are you there?
I can't do it.
You have to do it!
I'm coming, but you have to try.
I'm too tired.
I'll give you such a spanking,
you spoiled little brat.
Do you want her to die?
"Die"?
I won't let you!
I won't let you do this to me!
Call an ambulance!
She's in there!
Help me!
I'm coming!
It's me! Lakki!
I'm coming!
Everything's going to
be all right, I promise.
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
Dad left us,
but I'm not doing that!
Hello?
My mom's trying to kill herself.
I'm breaking down the door.
Mother.
It looked like a cemetery here.
I threw out the flowers.
Cut flowers are repulsive.
Plants belong in soil,
where they can bloom and wither.
Trees.
A forest.
Hello.
I understand.
I'm pleased to hear it.
Yes.
Really?
Yes, many thanks.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
She's been talking.
What did she say?
"How's my hair?"
Mom.
Lakki.
Can you ever forgive me?
Lakki!
Lakki.
It's almost 10:00.
What will the
teachers think of us?
They don't notice
whether I'm there or not.
We made an agreement.
Oh, God.
I go back to bed.
Has the money from Dad arrived?
Your father has
never been reliable.
I need money for
my school lunch.
Do you have any money, Siss?
We were talking about texture...
Little bastard!
I need money for cigarettes.
He's becoming
more like his father.
Take off your shoes!
I won't be able to
get them on again.
How come I never see you here?
Wanna buy it?
Only two bucks.
This piece of junk?
It doesn't even cost one.
Don't set fire to your rug.
Go to the locker room.
You're killing me!
You are going in the pool,
even if it takes me all night.
Stop that! Damn it!
Damn it!
No underwear?
You little faggot.
- I'm reporting you for rape.
- Don't make me puke.
Your mind is dirty too.
Go! Go! Go! ...
Go! Go! Go! ...
There's only one
way down from here.
I've got all the
time in the world.
I've got all the
time in the world.
Lakki! Lakki! Lakki! ...
I'm very pleased to hear it,
Mrs. Oscarsson Felmer.
It's very important that parents support
what we to do in the school environment.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Your mother would
like a word with you.
Hello.
Some of your teachers
are dreadful, aren't they?
They're okay.
I want you to know that you
have my full support, sweetheart.
It's not easy for me, either.
No.
Sweetheart, I'm going to
make us a wonderful dinner...
and we'll have a nice
evening when you get home.
You are coming home?
What about the others?
I threw him out.
Siss is sleeping.
Siss! Siss!
Are you in pain?
No.
This gang, do you
associate with them?
What gang?
- The one in the park.
- I've never meet them.
Do you smoke hash?
No.
According to your mother, you
don't get much help from your father.
Yes, I do.
At least he doesn't drink.
I'm going to stay
with him this weekend.
Aha.
He's strong.
Okay.
I don't want to be here.
Are you having an attack?
I don't have any attacks.
That's just something
you made up.
There. There.
Don't touch me.
You don't like
people touching you?
Piss off!
Have you ever
been subjected to...
You have a dirty mind.
At your previous school you
were seeing a psychologist.
I'm not going to a psychologist.
But it was going well.
No, it wasn't.
Adults understand nothing!
My baby.
How beautiful you are.
What about a little kiss for Aunt Siss?
Is dinner ready?
Almost.
That idiotic PE teacher...
Who is he?
I don't give a shit.
He's got a sexy voice.
Hey!
You know how I get friendly
when I've had a little to drink...
I invited him to dinner.
Who?
The PE teacher, Andersen,
or whatever his name is.
When?
Today, 5:00.
Lakki, don't upset yourself!
You'll get an attack!
I don't get any damn attacks!
Mom, you promised!
We had a deal!
You broke your part of it!
You broke yours first,
bringing scum home!
Stop looking at me!
Now, calm down, Lakki.
Lakki! Please!
Don't touch me!
You think I'm crazy,
but I'm not!
I'm calling him.
- Who is it?
- It's me.
- Who?
- Lakki.
Lakki, I'm with a client at the moment.
I'll pick you up in the morning.
I want to come now.
You got school tomorrow.
We're off.
The PE teacher dropped
dead in the locker room.
- Vibeke has to go to her prenatal class.
- You have to pick me up.
Damn it, my client
just walked out, Lakki.
I can't stand being here.
Is she on a binge?
She's in the kitchen,
making dinner.
I'm going out when
Vibeke gets home.
- I can't stand listening to it anymore.
- To what?
How they moan and
scream all night long.
Okay.
I'll see you at the bus
stop by the bridge at 4:30.
Are you leaving me?
Get in.
Get in!
I don't want that
mess in the car.
Is that really what she says?
Well, I'll tell you something.
I pay more than
I'm obligated to.
The house, the car, and that
damn alimony on top of that.
As if that wasn't enough,
Vibeke tells me she's pregnant.
Completely unplanned,
just like you.
Dear God.
I think I'll go to bed.
Already?
I was up at six this morning.
You look like a
sailboat in a storm.
Fuck!
Mia!
Mia!
I was just having some fun.
I must sleep. I haven't
shut my eyes all night.
- Spare me!
- You became friends with him, too.
- Don't misuse that word.
- No, because you don't have any friends.
Look at me now.
Long strokes.
Easy. Easy. Nice.
Daddy.
Daddy.
What are you saying?
Dad's on the sea. Dead.
Where is he?
Hans?!
Were you awake?
Did you see him go?
He went out to sea.
And there's still two
nights until a full moon.
Hans!
No, we mustn't shout.
Who knows who hears us.
We're going home today.
Aren't we going to look for Dad?
He'll come back, if he wants to.
What if he's been killed?
No, there's nothing to
be frightened of, Lakki.
Lakki, you are going
to take a bath, at once.
I can't bear dirty kids.
God, I am happy.
The bathroom is flooding!
A drop of water won't hurt.
The whole building's rotten, anyway.
It's just what the landlord
deserves. Bravo, Lakki!
This is how it'll
always be, Lakki.
Dancing, laughing
and being together.
You have a child!
I fucking doubt it!
You can't just run off!
Damn it, I hate you!
Damn it, I love you!
No!
I can't take it!
Damn you!
Thanks for breakfast.
You're welcome.
Was it all right?
Yes.
More coffee?
No, thanks.
Hello. Good morning.
My name is...
Are you still here?
Where have you been?
I'm sorry, forgive me.
But I was so frightened.
Darling, if only you'd give
me a reason, any reason.
You're not having one
of your attacks, are you?
The fuck I am!
I'm never coming here again!
Let go of me!
Lakki.
Aren't you at your father's?
Yes. I just came to
pick up something.
What was that?
My condoms.
Dad's waiting for me in the garage.
I've got to go.
That's a pity.
Well, this wasn't exactly
what I'd planned, Lakki.
I think you've met before.
You look like a
young girl in that hat.
You think so?
Burn that fucking hat!
It makes you look ten years older.
Shit!
I saw you take something back there.
Wait a minute, I just want to talk to you.
- I want to tell you about Jesus.
- Piss off!
- Look, do you want to earn 30 bucks?
- Doing what?
Just having a cola and
talking to me for a bit.
- Fuck off!
- I'm so lonely.
- Wherever you like.
- No!
Okay.
Half an hour.
Just talking for 50 bucks.
- No touching!
- Are you mad?
God would never forgive me.
Bullshit!
What's your name?
Everyone calls me Tarzan.
Tarzan Andersen.
That's nice.
What about that cola?
Right.
Make yourself at home.
- Got to go to the bathroom.
- Are you sick?
Don't touch me!
Say what you wanted to say,
and let's get it over with.
Will you do me a favor first?
No, I think I must be ill.
It'll soon pass.
I'll give you another 20 bucks,
if you put these on.
Give me the money!
Give me the money!
I've been here 20 minutes.
I want 30 bucks.
You fell for it.
You little slut.
I've been watching you for a long time.
You and your whore of a mother.
I know how you make your money,
you little whore.
Where's my money?
Take whatever you want, just not
the Buddha my mother gave me.
Andersen. Andersen.
Hi.
Hi.
Why are you so strange?
I don't know.
Why are you so strange? ...
Wanna buy some dope?
Good Maroc.
I'm only into Nepal.
I can get that.
- I don't have any money.
- Are you broke?
Here.
I'm not into that.
Come on. You can
accept a gift, can't you?
- Let's go.
- Where to?
I wanna show you something.
During a terrible heat wave at
an oasis in the middle of a desert...
a group of young girls and boys made
themselves some strong, yellow tea...
brewed from the leaves
of dried marijuana plants.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a castle
appeared right out of the desert...
- and an orchestra started playing.
- How far is it?
Not far.
- What's your name?
- Lakki.
Okay.
I don't think I can.
Take it, and I'll show
you something beautiful.
If you don't take it,
it won't be beautiful.
I'll take it.
Come.
Watch your step.
Actually, there's no reason to be quiet,
but people always are, aren't they?
Was this where you got the tea,
in the desert?
We haven't reached
the desert, yet.
- You're so...
- You're actually really ugly.
But when you relax,
you become beautiful.
You mustn't be so
hard on yourself.
Shall we continue
to the desert land?
I'm already there.
It's just pretend.
You fooled me.
It's just pretend.
But look. Look!
You're a magician, Tim.
How wonderful.
No!
No!
Tim, I'm scared!
You've got to put out the fire.
You haven't done
this before, have you?
I've seen a lot of fires.
- Just lie down for a bit, and it'll pass.
- But the fire!
- Forget the fire.
- I can see it!
Lie down!
Don't disturb me. I'm making a
model of space with my marbles.
But isn't that really difficult?
I've got contacts out there.
I talk to them and
they tell me what to do.
Lie down.
Don't go!
I don't want to be left alone!
You won't be alone.
I'm coming.
The connections
are hopeless today.
Why's that?
'Cause of the phone
company, idiot.
Tim!
I forgot to lock the door.
Open up!
You little crook!
Get the kid.
Sasha sit! Come here!
Stop this bullshit.
You don't fool us anymore, loser.
Ever heard of the
boy who cried wolf?
Wolf!
For fuck's sake, Tim,
he's just a kid.
- You're finished!
- You're the one who's finished.
Do you want a cigarette?
That shooter's never
had any lead in it.
I'm gonna kill you!
You're not going to kill anyone.
You're just a regular acid-head.
Take him!
Don't try to hide
anything from me.
Show me the money!
- What the fuck. You look terrible.
- I don't want blood on me!
Take this.
For Christ's sake, take it.
Sugar won't help.
It's not sugar.
You sniff it.
- It smells nice?
- I've made some tea with cardamom.
- With sugar?
- Loads of sugar.
Wonderful.
I want you to have this.
Keep it.
If you get sick
when you get home,
say it's the flu.
I'm not going home.
Of course you are.
What else are you going to do?
I thought that we'd hang out.
You don't know the first
thing about the life I live.
You have no idea
of the things I do.
What sort of things?
Deals with really bad guys.
I can't talk about it.
Tell me.
You're going home.
I want to be like you.
- What are you talking about?
- Clever, brave, strong.
You're wrong.
I'm none of those things.
It's just an act I put on.
Just like me.
Listen, Lakki.
If you wanna be brave and strong,
you've got to do it on your own.
So embarrassing.
I'm never like this.
It's all right, Lakki.
What did we take?
Cocaine?
Unfortunately not.
My dear Lakki.
- Are you sick?
- Don't touch me.
Your father called.
Where have you been?
No.
What I don't know, et cetera.
I can't for the life of me understand
what he sees in that anemic girl.
Lakki, I've been
worried sick about you.
Do you believe me?
I want us to be
open with each other.
Why did you lie
about the alimony?
- I don't know.
- You must know.
The more I know about myself,
the less I understand.
I'm going to bed.
I think I've got the flu.
You haven't been
sleeping outside, have you?
- My relationship with men,...
- Shut up!
Don't touch me!
We'll talk about
this some other time.
No!
Who's been sleeping in my bed
and made a mess of my chessboard?
Lakki, darling...
Terry snored so terribly,
I couldn't take it.
- Couldn't you have slept in my room?
- Terry wouldn't hear of it.
- He's a gentleman.
- Change the sheets.
Yes, dear, right away.
Lakki.
What?
Your father wants to
speak to you on the phone.
Let me wake up first.
He can wait,
but he says it's important.
- Is Tarzan here?
- Tarzan?
That's what we call him at school.
He'd be flattered to hear that.
King of the Apes.
Are you being impudent?
I haven't got time
to yell at you now.
They've told Vibeke it's
going to be a breech birth.
Your mother is
totally spineless.
You know how
sensitive Vibeke is.
And you obviously
have a bad effect on her.
You can be a bit intimidating.
And you've got your
mothers temper, on top of it all.
Where do you get it all from?
Suddenly you just run off.
Lakki, are you listening to me?
Yeah, yeah.
So, anyway, we think it's best
you don't come here anymore.
What did you say?
No, never, never!
There can be no question
of you coming here
unless your behavior, and your
appearance, change radically.
You can tell that fat,
ugly bitch from me
that I'm glad I won't have to
look at her pig face anymore!
We'll have to meet
somewhere else.
I never want to see you again!
Lakki, please...
You fucking scumbag,
fucking pimp!
Lakki!
Monday, 6:00.
The Lionheart restaurant.
We were there for Christmas.
I know what's wrong with her!
She doesn't get enough cock!
Don't look at me!
I've been starving all evening.
I was waiting for
you to wake up.
Come, let's make
something to eat.
Do you think the cod is ready?
And the catfish?
Good. Are you ready?
What did I do with the fork?
Thank you.
There are the leeks.
The egg yolk.
Will you open this?
I can't see that, my angel.
And the shrimp...
Are you ready?
Did you get all out?
Good. Put it in and stir it.
Make sure you mix it good.
Then the sour cream.
God, my hair...
The shrimp and the mussels...
Will you cut the onions,
sweetheart?
Has something got stuck?
I remember once in Brittany,
your father and I...
You're not doing badly.
Don't burn yourself.
When I get so old that
men lose interest in me,
I shall eat garlic with
every single meal.
I'm looking forward to that.
Did you know that in ancient Persia,
long before Jesus...
Will you take the
plates and spoons?
How is my hair?
Just fine.
You're so kind.
Did you hear what I
was saying about Persia?
Yeah, it was very interesting.
I'm so pleased that
you're interested in history.
I loved it when I was in school.
You should've seen the old boots
I had to wear in 5th and 6th grade.
My father was in the hospital.
We were so poor...
Or was it 4th grade?
Anyway, we had this lovely teacher,
from the west coast.
She had a lisp.
So when she spoke about
"the Angles and Saxons"...
Here comes the food.
So, when all the other
girls began wearing jeans
and tight jumpers
to show off their tits,
I had to wear
this awful dress
that my mother sewed from fabric
she bought at a clearance sale.
Will you fetch me the ladle?
And rubber boots...
Okay, Lakki, I won't
mention these things again.
Are you going to see him again?
Have you inherited your father's
tendency to argue during supper?
Well, are you?
I can't stop myself.
This is Dad's recipe, isn't it?
Is there too much garlic?
No, it's great.
- Was I a bit heavy with the wine?
- No. Just right.
It's only supposed to be one glass,
but I couldn't stop myself.
You see, Lakki, your father
and I were not a very good match.
He was too much of a man
and I was too much of a woman.
I know.
What has he told you
about these things?
Nothing.
It doesn't surprise me.
What's she like?
This Vivian?
Vibeke?
Yes.
Completely different from you.
Let's be serious for a moment.
I've been rather obsessed
with this bodybuilder.
I know you have
difficult relationship with.
To come straight out with it...
He fucks like a god,
but he's an idiot.
Well, my cards are on the table.
Now, I want to see yours.
Where were you last night?
I stayed with a friend.
I didn't think you
had that many.
Just the one.
And who's that?
His name's... Ned.
You're not quite sure?
- Ned Leukhart.
- Dutch?
- American.
- Watch out for the Dutch!
They're the biggest
pushers around.
An American?
A grown man?
- He's in a band.
- Is that supposed to reassure me?
Tell me.
Don't torment me any longer.
- I got to know him a bit.
- How?
You've got soup on your face.
I'll have soup
wherever I damn please!
I give up.
I give up.
What are you up to?
It's nothing dangerous.
I met him in a snack bar.
He wanted to know
where I'd got my sweater.
That damn sweater.
I told him I didn't know
where I was going to sleep.
He told me he was living
with a girl he'd met on tour.
On tour?
It was really good. We listened to
records, and looked at pictures and...
May I ask, then, why were you
so sick and red-eyed this morning?
I got drunk.
You mean they got you drunk!
No, no. But I had a few
more after they went to bed...
Spare me the details.
Are you drinking, Lakki?
Are you kidding?
Mind you, I wasn't more than 13.
I'm 14.
The first time I got drunk...
I was wearing tennis shoes,
a blue skirt and a white blouse.
They guy I was dancing
with was terrible...
What was his name?
Jonas?
Jrgen.
His name was Jrgen.
Jrgen, that's right.
He was always groping
at my nonexistent tits.
Suddenly, I was
just lying there.
Luckily, he was so
drunk he couldn't get it up.
The next day I had
grass stains on my blouse,
and I'd lost my necklace.
- Hello, son.
- Sorry. I was 15 minutes late.
You could've tidied
yourself up a bit.
Eddi, the menu.
And what would
junior like to drink?
A cola. Cold.
How about a lemonade? Otherwise
I'll have to go to the cellar.
Okay.
I think I'll have steak.
We had cola after all.
One roast beef with potato salad,
and one rump steak with onions.
Not the roast beef. The meat's
tough as leather today. The entrecote...
I'll have the Wiener Schnitzel.
As you wish.
I want my steak rare.
Pepper only, no salt.
A gentleman with character.
- Is it necessary to dress like a beggar?
- Yes.
Haven't you got any hobbies
like other boys your age?
Football, horse riding, swimming?
Jesus, you're almost 16.
Fifteen. In six months.
What about girls?
Been laid yet?
What's that?
Forget it.
When I was your age we
had to use our imagination.
We did things...
The whole summer, we were out on the fjord.
Boating, swimming and diving.
Every winter and Easter,
we went skiing in the mountains.
Broke arms and legs, then
danced through the night.
Don't slouch.
Don't you have PE
at school anymore?
- Of course we fucking do.
- Don't swear.
I got strong as a panther.
The ladies like a
man with muscles.
Feel.
It wasn't all like that.
Lakki,
when I was a child I froze.
I mean here, deep in the soul.
I can't remember my
parents ever laughing.
It is strange...
that everything has become so...
Damn.
You left us.
Where's that damn food?
Please, I want to hear more.
Don't worry about me.
I'm just overworked.
- Here we go.
- Thanks Eddi.
- I wasn't having the roast beef?
- We're out of the schnitzel.
- But what do you call this?
- It's all the same animal.
Schnitzel is pig.
Steak is cow.
Not here, it isn't. It's all cow.
Take it away. I'll have steak also.
Medium rare, lots of onions.
Shape up, Eddi.
The Buddha.
Are you okay, Lakki?
Lakki?
No.
- And another cola for the boy.
- I'll have to go to cellar for it.
Then go to the cellar!
Do you want me to follow you?
Not necessary.
I'm really two people, Lakki.
In many ways, I'm a snob.
I can't stand women
smoking in the street,
or when people say "cock"
and "cunt" on the radio.
Just the thought of
it makes me blush.
On the other hand...
I loved the life in our
old apartment building.
Washing the stairs...
The rat poison I
ran around with.
All the hysterical parties we
had where I would strip naked.
You slept through
those, of course.
Did you really think so?
Is that really what you thought?
All that stuff. Middle of the
'70s, beginning of the '80s...
The time those two chicks...
Do you still say "chicks"?
...came sailing in here...
Siss and your mother.
Siss with half a bottle
of sherry in her bag.
Do you know what?
The waiter let them drink it.
He even brought them glasses.
"I can't stand men in ties.",
was the first thing she said.
Then she took it off me
and put it under her blouse.
"You can come get it
tomorrow," she said.
Did you?
I didn't have the guts.
She wasn't wearing any panties.
- But what about the tie?
- I said she could keep it.
She's still got it.
What happened?
I fell head over heels in love.
Do you know where
you were conceived?
Careful.
Eddi!
Eddi, another one damn it.
And get a move
on with that cola.
What does "conceived" mean?
We fucked, okay?
And right there and then
one of my sperm met her egg...
and became a baby.
A boy.
You Lakki.
Where was I conceived, then?
At a party after a
pro-abortion demonstration.
I got so turned on that I
dragged her into the bathroom.
- Why no abortion?
- Never!
I would never let
a woman do that.
Many thanks, Eddi.
You've been to the
cellar as well, I see.
It smells wonderful.
Don't be upset, Eddi.
You'll have to excuse me.
Things are a bit hectic at the moment.
Great, Eddi. Many thanks.
There's only one
woman in my life, Lakki.
Your mother.
No!
Then why did you leave us?
We clawed each other to death.
Sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Of course I want to go on meeting
you, but Vibeke hasn't got the nerves.
What nerves?
What have I done?
She's jealous.
You look too much
like your mother.
Shall I be punished for that?
You know how women are...
Feelings and feelings.
She won't allow
me to have a past.
- What about herself?
- She was 20 when we met.
She'd just left home,
practically a virgin.
I was lonely.
- What's a man supposed to do?
- I don't want to hear any more.
Everything changes
when you have kids.
Ha, ha, ha!
Go on and say it, you've got
to go home to fatso. Damn it.
I don't want to go home.
When you get older,
maybe we'll be able to communicate.
Communicate?! Bullshit!
What's the point of marriage
if it's such a fucking drag?
Do you know what loneliness is?
Bullshit!
- 5 minutes and 13.4 seconds.
- What?
That's how long that drink took.
Buy me a beer, will you?
I got the beer.
But if you don't take your feet
off the table, they'll throw us out.
- Do you understand?
- Screw the beer.
I won't do it again.
I promise.
Don't drink from the bottle!
People will think I picked
you up at a public restroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
You can't sleep here.
- Where's my father?
- Didn't he go home?
He went to the toilet.
I'd better go and see.
There's no point.
He left.
- Bye.
- What about the rest of the juice?
- I don't drink schnapps.
- Schnapps?
It's just juice. Drink it.
Can you make me some toast?
Slept well?
I don't want that coffee.
Beg your pardon.
I didn't sleep a wink
because of your snoring.
- You said you didn't want coffee?
- I didn't want that coffee.
What's that?
I told you,
he's at a difficult age.
There's too much talk about
problems of "puberty." In my day...
It's no longer "your day"
and life is not a PE class.
There are some problems that
can't be solved with push-ups.
Push-ups are out.
All sports...
Take your damn sport
and shove it up your ass.
It's my son we're talking about.
I know what it is.
A sex toy.
Good to have in bed.
I'm going to buy
some cigarettes.
You think my mom likes you,
but she's only after your dick.
Christ knows why,
everyone knows you're into boys.
It says so in the toilets at school.
Everybody talks about it.
You dirty, little...
- If Mom comes, she'll call the police.
- I'm warning you.
- You don't stand a chance and you know it.
- Is it true about the toilet walls?
Sure is.
It's written in permanent
ink so it can't be washed off.
But it's not true!
Lakki, I know it's silly,
but I've fallen in love with him.
He's such a good man.
Damn runts.
Damn runts.
School psychologist.
Dear Lakki and Siss.
Don't come looking for me.
Love, Mia. Mother.
23-68-77.
Hello.
Hello, Siss?
Lakki, what's wrong?
I don't know.
What are you saying?
Is something's wrong?
I found a note when I got home.
It said, "Dear Lakki and Siss.
Don't come looking for me.
Love, Mia. Mother."
Oh, my God,...
then she's done it.
"She's done it."
What has she done?
- Have you checked her bedroom?
- The door's locked.
Kick it in, damn it.
Are you there?
You have to be in there.
Are you there?
I can't do it.
You have to do it!
I'm coming, but you have to try.
I'm too tired.
I'll give you such a spanking,
you spoiled little brat.
Do you want her to die?
"Die"?
I won't let you!
I won't let you do this to me!
Call an ambulance!
She's in there!
Help me!
I'm coming!
It's me! Lakki!
I'm coming!
Everything's going to
be all right, I promise.
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
Dad left us,
but I'm not doing that!
Hello?
My mom's trying to kill herself.
I'm breaking down the door.
Mother.
It looked like a cemetery here.
I threw out the flowers.
Cut flowers are repulsive.
Plants belong in soil,
where they can bloom and wither.
Trees.
A forest.
Hello.
I understand.
I'm pleased to hear it.
Yes.
Really?
Yes, many thanks.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
She's been talking.
What did she say?
"How's my hair?"
Mom.
Lakki.
Can you ever forgive me?
