VILLEALFA FILMPRODUCTIONS PRESENT

THE WORTHLESS

DIRECTED BY MIKA KAURISMAKI

It's Harri, hi!

Hi

Get yourself here tonight.
-All the way up there?

Last party of the season.
-That's all over now

Why?
-Sorry, I was taking a shower

I see...

I'm dripping all over the place.
-Stop lying, will you?

I'll call you later.
-Do that

What's the number?
-2026

2026.
-Right

Bye

Morning, girls

I may have to go away soon

Where're you going this early,
nails all varnished?

And where are you coming from?
-I was with a girl

You still don't know how to lie.
-Guess I learnt nothing from you

Thanks a lot

Can I help somehow?
-You've done too much already

We could drive to my place, -

have dinner and talk politics

Too late, love is dead

You're right.
But love never dies

It just leaves us.
We are the ones who die

That's what you think.
I must get to Tampere tonight

Don't you have any money?
-I can't take the train

Be at Baaribar at six.
I'll take you

Good morning, Vasili. Small coffee

Anything else?

Calvados, and a glass of water

With calvados you
get salad of the day

That's illegal.
-Only if you get caught

You order so little nowadays

It's because of my high morals

Little more of morals like that
and I'll have to close the shop

Put these on my tap.
-It's illegal to sell on credit

Just don't get caught.
Do you want my jacket as collateral?

That one?

I'd have to hire a man to guard it

It's on the house.
-Thanks

Read that

So what?

Lies, all lies

Why read it then?

Doesn't truth mean anything to you?

How's business?
-Lousy

Every time I sell something
somebody sells me more

I never make any money

Buy cheaper and sell dearer

Excellent idea!
You'd do that?

Not me, but other dealers.
-Bloody hell!

I bought a painting last week

Could you check if it's genuine?

Who's the artist?
-Edelfelt

Perhaps you just weren't
born to be a dealer

Why's that?
-Forget it

I'll come after work.
I have to make a call

American Express, it's me.
-I decided to come

And if a storm blows you away?

A man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do

When are you starting?
-I've already started

I'll drink plenty today

I'll come as sure as old age

I understand

Juippi can kill the fatted calf

Morning, Tiina.
-Morning, Manne

Same words every morning,
never any passion

Mornings aren't for that,
especially this one. -Problems?

Don't know yet

Who is it?
-None of my business

That's true

Listen, Manne...

Has somebody treated you badly?

I got kicked out last night. -He
doesn't know what he's throwing away

Nor do l. What will you do?

I'll be out in the street.
-That bad? I won't have it

I'll think of something
-No way

The same old story:.

A desperate young girl
with nowhere to go, -

street lamps swaying in the night,
the pier, the dark inviting water

We must think of something else.
You know the address

You're sweet.
-No, I'm an evil pig

Never trust people.
Don't answer the phone

If you go out, leave the door open.
-How will you get in?

I'm away for the weekend.
Let's see if I come back

It is weekend, isn't it?
-Do I have to clean up?

No, don't touch anything.
You can wash the dishes

How can I repay you?

Let's think about that later.
-So you've become selfish too?

Can't afford not to be

If you get cold, close the window.
Got it?

Out you go, nice and easy

Hi, Manne.
-Shut it

Nice to see you again

You think so?

Sorry, no bananas today

Wait in the car

Nice company you keep, Mitya.
Is he your TV-club leader?

It's so hard to find
good men these days

Haven't seen you for ages

I've tried to avoid dumps

Cut the crap

You still owe me

Like three months in the slammer?

Every man for himself.
You knew the rules

I meant money. Twenty grand

Right, Mitya?

I wasn't hired as a bookkeeper

We'll settle that later

Looks like you don't know
which side you're on

Manne's a special case

You should get paid extra
for ratting on a friend

When will you bring my money?
-Whose money? Send the Law

Smartass. Do you have the money?
-Of course not

Then you've got a week
to find either of these

The painting's more important

She'll come back anyway

What am l?
An art dealer?

That's your problem.
You know a lot of people

And if I find it for you?
-We'll forget the whole incident

And that ape will serve
tea and biscuits?

You've got one week, smartass

We won't be so friendly next time

Something's wrong with your head.
-Whose isn't?

I'll put a bandage on it

Guess you don't want to tell
how you got it. -No, I don't

Some old lady clobbered you

It's not bad.
It'll heal in a week

Well...
-Well what?

Where's the painting?
-What painting?

The one you talked about.
-Oh, that painting

What else?
You asked me to come and see it

Yes I did, in the morning

It was a long time ago.
It's in the office

I knew it.
-ls it a fake?

No. How did you get this?

From a hysterical woman -

who needed a ticket far away

I gave her all I had,
over 2 000 marks

She'd got it from her mother.
That's what they always say

This woman?
-That's her, but the photo is old

Forget the whole thing.
I must go

Is it valuable?

Yes, don't show it around for a while

I have to sort things out

Have you seen Veera?
-Veera? Why?

I saw her this morning.
-I don't want to know

She was as beautiful
as a freeway at night

And just as fast

Who do you think you are?
-What do you mean?

All you have to do
is open the door -

and I'll jump in, right?

That's what you did.
-So what? You're still wrong

Well you can't come straight
through the door, or can you

You wouldn't be surprised if I did.
I've got my reasons

And I know how to get a lift

That I remember.
-No use pretending anything

Alright

Would you kindly get in?

The car's electrics are gone
and your eyes would be a joy

I plan to navigate by the stars.
-Alright

Perhaps we'll meet again.
-Perhaps we can't avoid it

Are you planning to try?
-I'll do my best. And you?

Likewise

Don't look back

Is this a dream or wine talking.
I'm sitting here alone, -

remembering the times
when we were so little, -

that we sat on the edge of the carpet
and sway our feet

About the size of a horses head?
-That's right

Take a sip

My God, the bottle is empty

Who drank that?

Go inside.
It's cold and you'll freeze

Manne, take care of her little hands

Is she new here?
-Brand new

Gives faith in the future of
the countryside. Interested?

Always.
In everything that moves

I have to get away from here soon
or it'll be too late

Shall I leave or not?

I'll give myself five minutes
to make my mind up

Time flies like an elk. So you plan
to trade in Tolstoy for Dostoevsky?

Can one find
a place to live in Helsinki?

My hallway's free

I'll be on the morning train
on may 20

By then the family has torn itself
to pieces over the inheritance

Just don't have a baby in your arms

What's her name?
-Anna-Kaarina

Anna-Kaarina!
-Yes

Coffee

What do you think?
Shall we marry?

How many acres you got?
-What?

No way otherwise with that face

One has to think of one's future

Will you really watch wieners boil
the rest of your life? -I guess not

Let's dance then,
I'd like to hold you in my arms

Was it a good party?

My little wife Anna-Kaarina

Her tiny little hands

Where's the car? I'll drive

If you fail to return in May,
I'll burn the whole village away...

Leaving is the most important thing.
-Why don't you go then?

Do you want me to, woman?
-I guess not

You don't sound too convinced

I'll drive!

What about the truck?
-Keep it

You'll get it back when you return.
-I'm not coming back

Sure you are.
I'll have coffee ready

Put some oil in.
-What?

In the truck.
-Right

Bye, Harri.
Send us a postcard

Don't do that!
My shoulder will fall off

Something's wrong with your head

Unnecessary violence. Terrible!
Just when I'd cleaned the place up

Why didn't you fight back?
-I tried but there were three of them

I could've managed two.
I hit one of them

Drink that.
-Thanks

How did they find you?

Who cares? The press poisons
the minds of our children

You don't have any.
-Who knows?

So the painting's gone?
-Yes

We'll have to think a bit.
-You think. I've had it

I need a change of scenery,
if you get my meaning

All my plans keep getting fucked up.
-Where're you going?

Paris, Rome, Rio.
The possibilities are endless

Your passport?

In the fridge

That's all there is.
I'm dieting

Ville Alfa, yes

V for Verner,
A for Athos. Thanks

The plane for Paris leaves
in an hour. Ready?

Yes

Nowadays one must travel light

Shame to leave a good business

It's impossible to be in peace here

If you try to sleep somebody
peers from under the bed -

making sure you're alright.
You can't even die in peace here!

That's true

Good day.
-Good day

They wouldn't take this
as an toothbrush

I got it from a Japanese princess

You've never been in Japan.
-I never said I was

Call me when you've
pulled off the Revolution

You'll need a Minister of Finance

Crazy bastard.
That's supposed to be Mahler

It is.
-This ain' t a concert hall

Do you have something against music?

He's driving away my customers

Then you don't have to work anymore

I like working.
-You've always been strange

Somebody's been asking for you.
-Who?

He's sitting in the corner,
looking at us

To and fro, like a yo-yo

Welcome to Eldorado

I'm not staying here for long.
Any suggestions?

We'll take your gear to my place
and get loaded

Good, my head feels mighty empty

Change of climate, perhaps

You dented it!
Where do you think...

Thanks for last

Get the hell out of here
while you still can!

Stay out of this

Beat him up and throw him out!

So long!

So you put your tooth there.
-So I did

Strange business.
None of mine, of course

A moment's silence
in its memory, please

So you're going too.
Go on! He's waiting

Do I have to open the door for you?

Good God! What happened?
-What do you mean Good?

A truck hit me, can't you see?

Harri.
-What?

I'm Harri.
-Naturally. What happened to him?

It's not so natural

My parents thought
it over for a long time

A truck hit him.
Any coffee?

In the kitchen

Manne, I must go now

So the pocket calculator's
taking you back then?

Lots of luck, you'll need it

Do you have to take it like that?

I don't take anything in any way.
I'm a tired old man

Bye. Keep God in your heart and...

Tiina! What do you say?

Thanks for everything

That's better.
Could you take the garbage out

Are you sure you
don't want me to come with you?

Pussy! Puss-puss-puss-
Are you under the car?

Why would I pay for protection
that doesn't exist

Dangerous talk.
Because you have to

Either you pay, or you quit.
There are no exceptions

It's not that simple

I've had some problems lately

That's why they want to take a look
at your accounts

I'm not going to allow it.
-Think again

What have they done
to earn their money?

They just sit behind their desks

They don't have to get up.
They've lawyers for that

You know it just as well as l

Yes I know, unfortunately.
What can I do?

Nothing. -You wouldn't have spoken
to me like that ten years ago

Ten years, it's a lifetime.
-Are you scared?

No, just tired

They asked me to warn you.
Now I've done it

That's all

A beautiful painting.
But like I said on the phone, -

I'm not interested

And I've heard there's been a slight
dispute over this one. -Perhaps

Thing's would've been different
a few years ago

Perhaps I'm getting old

The years roll by, like it or not.
What do you plan to do with it?

Who'd be interested in the painting -

but not where it's coming from

That's in Tampere

He'll take it
without questions

I don't want to hear any more of it

Do you know who you're messing with?
-Yes

Better use the back door

Manne.
-Mitya!

Nice to see you again

Let us have the painting.
-No way

I think we're on
different sides of the fence now

You think yours is better?
-At least I'm higher than you

Looking from where?
-From sea level

Cut the crap! Get down here

Shut up!
-Let him talk, he needs the practise

Got to go now. See you!

Asshole!

Good day.
-Come in

You can wait in here

It's springtime

Yeah. Smart boy

Waiting for me?
-I don't think so. What's the time?

So there it is

Is it genuine?

Didn't you know?
-I couldn't be sure

It's genuine.
Just not widely known

Every now and then
it pops up again

A dreadful frame.
I wonder where it's been

Does it matter?
-No, not always

Does my cigarette bother you?
-No, smoke it

I'd have one too,
but my doctor won't let me

He must have his reasons,
though he smokes himself

And the prize?

You decide

I'll give you 80 000.
About half of its true value

That's enough, I'm in a hurry.
I'm going to travel

The decision is yours

Each one thinks the other's
happier than he is

In vain

There's money, all I need now is love

I just met the woman of my dreams.
She seemed sad

She needs a reliable guy like me

Somebody better warn her

Want to hear a joke.
-lf it's funny

No. It's about communal politics

Shoot

Red Tampere

That's not funny.
-No, not a bit. Shall we go?

Where?
-Anywhere

Let's go

You got a spare tire?
-What's that?

Perhaps, perhaps not.
Never needed one

Nothing there.
-What now?

Don't know

Shall we walk onwards?

We can leave the car here

Need any help?
-Got a flat tire some 10 meters back

So I see

I'll fix it. Cheap

Welcome to Eldorado.
I'm Carlos, I own the place

Do you have money?
-Money's no problem

Good, we have to make a living too.
Make yourselves at home

Open the bar.
We got customers!

This isn't a sanatorium

The Prime Minister might
drive by and nobody' d notice

How tragic

What're you having?
-What do you have?

Rye whisky, barley wine and cola

This isn't the Grand Hotel

Is that a criterion?

I'll fix the tire.
Demand proper service

She's dumb but hard-working

He used to walk the rope
at the Moscow Circus -

but once with a hangover
he fell of and landed on his head

They didn't use safety nets then.
What'll it be?

Rye whisky.
-You talked me into it

Where's the Snake Woman?
-She's gone

Where? We've got a show tonight

How should I know?
To the mountains, I guess

Ask Carlos,
they had a terrible fight

He never gives a straight answer

Did she take the snakes with her?
Yes... I guess

Good, I hated them

Want to play the roulette? I heard
you've got money. -Why not

Gambling is illegal
but luckily the flesh is weak

And I'm sick of arguing
over coffee packets -

with old country hens

Too bad.
Another try?

This is just the beginning.
One of us will end up a rich man

You can't win. I cheat

That's a very bad habit

Does this place pay?

Yes, I can tell you that -

but don't tell the taxman

I've never been called a loudmouth

You want a job?
We've got openings

I must see the world a bit.
I've been sitting still for 23 years

I've been on the road since
I was one. In fact longer, -

I was born on the Orient Express
between Bombay and Delhi

But you get tired of it,
of everything

True, it's strange

My wife got tired of me
two years ago

No wonder, really

Ladies and Gentleman,
welcome to Eldorado!

Show starts in a few minutes!

International Super-Show
with international stars!

From the jungles of Africa,
mister Langri!

Breathtaking acrobatics

So you're here too.
On my summer vacation

Fucking businessmen!

They think they can
treat people any way they want

Give me a smoke

Do you need a lift?
What do you think

I can always leave alone

Don't be so touchy

I'm just pretending

So you'll give me a lift

To the next gas station?

You can take me to Mexico

Where's the sports car?

Right there.
That's Manne's

I know. What about you?
What about me?

Nothing much.
What're you talking about?

We're old friends

Met in lceland a year ago

Are we going to stay here?

No, we're already on our way

What is there between you two?
Only love

Nothing serious then

Why aren't you together then?

We don't fit together,
we argue terribly

I don't quarrel.
But I do

A Scotsman says to his friend:

Are you the one that pulled
my son out of the water yesterday?

You're supposed to say: Yeah

Yeah.
Where's his cap, then?

Put that on.
Haven't got a cassette deck

What? No deck?
Nope

There must be a radio shop somewhere.
Guess so

Well, then...

Will my wings carry
the load of my sorrow

I couldn't stay with you
for long

I think of you
but I don't know

I wasn't ready for your leaving

Looking out
I see your eyes there...

Bad hangover?
Remember me?

I'm trying to.
Thanks for the blanket

The night was cold
and you just wouldn't wake up

I guess I was having a nice dream

Where do you know Manne?
From school, and you?

Sunday school

Is Veera your real name?
Why?

Not a sensible question, I guess

I don't like sensible people

Should I mind my own business?

Think you could try?

If I was ten years younger,
I'd go swimming

Then you'd be three

That was nice.
Too bad it isn't true

We must not see reality as it is -

but as it lives in our dreams

Shall we wake Manne up
and make some coffee?

A beautiful morning. Good morning.
A cigarette, young man!

Great car.
A car's a car

License and registration

The photo's old.
lt was taken in confirmation class

Get out of the car

Where are your papers?

Don't have them with me

Let go!
Let the girl go!

She's wanted!
What do you know about it?

You should stay at home

Another round

Why are they looking for you?

You wouldn't like the answer

They've been after you
as long as I can remember

That's different.
Why's that?

I'm me.
Who am I then?

Wish I knew. Not me, anyway.
Thank God for that

I want to know why they are
after you. -I stuck up a drug store

Is that true?
It's a long story

A guy tried to buy me
with trinkets -

and when it didn't work
he claimed I'd stolen them. Ok?

Say the word and the bastard dies

What good would that do?

The world is full of bastards

Is that the only reason?
No. I've been stealing too

To get something to eat?
Just for fun

Not enough, since you got caught

Will you go to Afghanistan with me?

What would I do there?
I'm entering a convent tomorrow

Think of what you're saying

You should act and not just think

Veera's gone.
I know, I talked to her

Why didn't you wake me up?
She told me not to

You call that a reason?
What am l, a family advisor?

I'd drag her to the altar
if I was you

Did she explain anything?

Only that if you cared for her, -

you'd take care of her.
She's right

That's what you think

How can you care for somebody
who can't stay still a moment?

I just told you that...
I don't want to hear!

Mind your own business.
Don't complain then

I'm not complaining.

You don't understand
anything about these things

Fuck off, will you.
Understood

Don't make noise!

Let's go.
I want to finish the game

How long are you going to play?

Until they close the joint

I'm going.
Suit yourself

With the dawn, the sky turns red
I cast away the cape of pain

Sun and moon they change places

And the night again sinks
its teeth into my neck

I follow the bright star

Wheels are turning
days roll by

No matter why I'm leaving

All that counts is
I can't stay

I can't stay

I am a flower
savaged by the cold rain

All my hopes run into sand

The rain throws me to the ground

Although I don't live by the sword
I die by it

I die by it

Guess I missed you

I'm not sorry, but my car is

We all make mistakes

How could I've known
that you were the wrong man?

I'm not

Do you often shoot at passers-by?

If they come too near.
This is my land -

and I've got a right to defend it

Do you want coffee?
Looks like you need it

I've heard about you.
How come?

We listen to the police radio

More to listen to there
than on the networks

Did you know that you're wanted?
I thought it likely

Where are the others
and what are your plans?

Don't ask so much

What was that shooting about?

We own this land
and they're trying to evict us

Who are they? By what right?
That's a complicated story

They've got some sort of
expropriation order -

but I have to sign it first

I see.
That's why I let nobody near

The postman didn't call twice

Now they've decided to use force

And you?
We stay here

Stop shooting your mouth

I want to listen to some music

He must know all the facts -

to form his opinion.
Music

What kind of music do you like?

Anything goes.
You got anything to drink?

Wake up, you must go

What?
Don't ask questions, come down

Gotcha!
But now they mean business

Go now, we'll cover you.
I could help

No, you got your own problems

Go now, Manne

Hurry up!

Goodbye and good luck.
Good bye

Good day.
Good day

I need a room.
Sign here

Room 14,
turn left at the end of the corridor

I'm not taking any calls.
I want to sleep

Wake me up at 8.30

Good evening, it's 8.30.
Thanks

Vodka and mineral water

Two calvados

May I sit down?

Looking that sad, you'd better

What's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?

Cleaning and making beds.
Then I have to listen -

to guests like you
trying to pick me up

I can't afford to fail any more.

Nobody can

Who jumps in first?
Neither

We both know that

The future's bright

Really? Where?

I've got a plane ticket to Paris.
Will you come with me?

We'll see.
I must think about it

It's getting cold

May I see you safely to your room?

Don't wake me in the morning

I'm not going to wake up myself

What's up, Harri?
Nothing much. You?

Nothing special. I found Veera

Isn't that something.
How about a game?

If you want to lose.
I won't lose, you will

That's what you think

Little boys shouldn't trust women

They only bring you sorrow

But even a little boy in the evening
can stare through the window

At the princess of his dreams

In the window, in the window
in the window I found my girl

She's the prettiest woman I know

Got no chest but I don't mind

Her hat is fine,
body divine

In the window I found my girl

Oh! Glendora, Oh! Glendora

Oh! Glendora how I adore you

Place your bets

No more bets

Red, sixteen

Place your bets

No more bets

Red, sixteen. Not bad.
May I have this dance?

We met on a wonderful evening

The moon shone
birds were singing

You took me to your summer place

And I knew how it would end

When we got there
I could smell the flowers...

Can I help you?
You can't

Get dressed

It was a mistake
to try to fool me

I know you've sold the picture.
I want the money!

Go fuck yourself!

Hagstrom!

Keep out of this

Do you think
you can treat me like a fool?

I could've forgiven
everything else

You've got five minutes
to produce the money

And you've got five seconds
to go to hell

You know that I can make you talk

How much do you care about her?

Get the hell out of here.
Hey, what's this?

I'll take care of him

I've had enough. I quit.
Now get the fuck out of here!

You have a patient there
called Harri Salminen

I'd like to know how he is

How's Harri?
Harri who? He's dead

Roadblock.
Where?

Straight ahead

Should we stop?
I guess so

Remember the day we met?
What about it?

Nothing much.
The clouds looked the same

You've got a good memory

You used to smile back at me then

What the hell is all this?

Don't worry about it.
Business as usual

The opposition gets gunned down
or their milk gets spoiled at night

I can't take any more hassles.
What can we do?

First we have to rest.
Then we'll have to split for a while

I'm going to see Hagstrom

I'd like to make a call to Paris

I don't know the number here,
I'm in a phone booth

You can call directly?

The wonders of technology. Shoot

9-9-0-3-3-1

And yourself?
Minor problems

Where are you? Need help?

I'll take the first available taxi

Absolutely not. Stay there

Do you know how ugly
Paris really is in the spring

I don't want to hear.
You're escaping from reality

No, reality's escaping from me

Perhaps it's not worth catching

That' s not good enough reason
for existence

You must learn to be humble

You need to learn that?
More than anything else

Arrogance comes naturally

Pessimistic theory.
Whose money are you living on?

Until I finish my
great historical novel -

the fire in a girl's eyes
keeps me warm

Her name is Zelda

I just wanted to tell you -

that I've sent you a pile of money
to the Poste Restante

That was nice.
Life is very expensive here

Downhill all the way
since the Revolution

The Moulin Rouge is like McDonalds

Got to hang up. See you soon

The train will be here soon.
Have you got money?

Enough

Why won't you take me along?

I have to do it alone

But I'll be waiting for you in Paris,
at the Gare du Nord -

on June 30, 6 p.m.
Will you be there?

I'll try

Mitya... Manne here

I know

You must help me

I want to find Hagstrom

You didn't quit then.
Where is he?

What room?

Room 209. Thanks, Mitya

I'm a sick man, an evil man

Repulsive being.
And I think I've got liver trouble

Will you take me to the airport?

This is Veera

Hello, Veera
