Original subtitles

You have one more check-up in three months.

Until then we cannot say whether you're cured or cancer-free.

You can join a group of patients who have been through a similar treatment.

That's not really my thing.

Well, now you know. Yes.

Finally, I'm obligated to ask you to consider a breast reconstruction.

No, I don't think so.

Does your husband agree? Leif?

Well, I should think so.

I'm sure leif likes me the way I am.

As long as I make him lemon pudding once a week.

Inner values matter more to him.

I doubt that he's even noticed that one of them is missing.

If you have the means, many couples choose to go away on holiday.

We're going on a trip next week.

My daughter is getting married in Italy, so...

Some people have all the luck. Yes.

Here you go. Thanks.

Man: J“ when the moon hits your eye

hello.

Come.

Okay. Thank you.

Hi, guys. Hi, my name is Marco.

And this is my cousin, Alessandro.

I'm Patrick and this is my fiancee, Astrid.

Astrid, nice to meet you. Hi.

Chorus: J“ that's amore

man: J“ when you dance down the street

j“ with a cloud at your feet

j“ you're in love

j“ when you walk in a dream... j“

How long did you live here? I only spent summers here.

We were supposed to live here but then mom died.

Marco: The villa.

Patrick: Yeah, I can see. Astrid: Yes.

Itereis key. Thsisforyou thank you.

Now we have to go. But we come back tomorrow, okay?

We can discuss about food, wine...

And how you get ready for wedding. Okay? Of course.

All: Ciao!

Well...

It's beautiful.

This is insanely romantic.

But there's no furniture, Astrid.

So we'll sit on the floor. No.

There's nothing here. Where's the light switch?

No power either. Furniture.

There's a couch, an armchair, you name it.

I knew dad didn't use the house, but I thought he kept an eye on it.

This is a joke.

It's rustic, and it's perfect.

Astrid, wait.

This is a stupid idea.

Let's find a hotel.

What are you talking about, baby? Patrick, this is the best idea ever.

We'll get it ready in time.

Okay?

Morning.

Good morning.

Where is everyone?

At a seminar. Didn't you know?

Another bloody seminar? No one told me about it.

Good god, I hate this country.

Get me Romania on the line, would you?

How is he doing? Morning.

Congratulations!

J“ happy birthday to you

j“ happy birthday to you

j“ happy birthday, dear Philip

j“ happy birthday to you j“

Dear Philip...

No, no.

Can I say a few words, please?

Thank you. Many happy returns, Philip.

We're all very happy to be working for you.

But you have us concerned, too, because you work too much.

And so we've all chipped in and bought you a leisure gift.

You're going parachuting.

Thank you. It's about time you came out.

Came out and embraced life.

Yes, well I don't know what to say.

I'd like to thank your sister-in-law, benedikte.

Were it not for you, we wouldn't have known it was Philip's birthday.

Let's give benedikte a hand.

Yep. Come in.

Uh...

I wanted to give you a more personal gift.

This will get you out on the town.

With me.

High heels?

Tango shoes. I go every Thursday.

Thank you, bitten. Really. But I think you need to find yourself

a younger partner.

Ah, bitten, you gorgeous, beautiful, sweet girl. This is never gonna happen.

I am a guy who has chosen to be by himself. Simple as that.

I thought we could have fun, though.

Yeah, well, that's a very nice idea.

But I have danced all the tango I'm ever gonna dance.

Now, Romania, get them on the line again.

Othennise I'm gonna end up with 80,000 worth of rotting cucumbers.

Appreciate the thought, though.

Um...

By the way, your son called from Italy.

He says everything is going well, wishes you happy birthday.

Romania.

Cucumbers.

Leif?

Are you home, honey?

I've got a surprise for you.

Leif?

Ithoughtyou were at chemo. No, I'm done with that.

I just had to have some extra blood tests done.

I'm on my lunch break.

Well, it's over now.

Who's she?

Tilde from accounting.

You're fooling around with tilde from accounting while I'm in the hospital?

Yes.

Get a cab, tilde.

Remember to get a receipt.

I know it looks bad.

How could you?

Now that I'm finally cured we were going to have fun together.

I do not understand.

How long have you been seeing her?

She's been with us for two years.

She doesn't even look that old.

She is older than she looks. She's got a business degree.

She looks no older than Astrid.

Age doesn't mean a thing today.

She must be out of her mind to fall for a guy like you.

Look, you're upset, but there's no need to get nasty.

No. Oh, no?

You're doing her on my mom's couch, while I'm fighting for my life.

You just told me you were cured.

I can't be sure, leif. I have to keep going to check-ups.

Your mom didn't give us that couch. My uncle, esben, got it in malaga...

Are you completely callous?

No.

Let's calm down. You're overreacting.

What do you mean? It's been tough on both of us.

It's been hard for me to see you so ill.

It's been hard for me to see you like that.

See you in Italy.

After 23 years, he just ups and walks out on her.

What a bastard, huh? Yes.

He deserves a good beating.

And their daughter's getting married. The nerve!

Congratulations. Thanks.

They only met, like, three months ago, but Patrick is a sweet boy.

He's studying to be a politician. Political science.

And the wedding's in Italy where the family owns a lemon grove.

Let me just get that.

No. Did leif ever build you that patio?

The lazy bastard.

And he was cheap, too.

Good riddance, I say. Look, he's been there for me.

Anyway, he hasn't left me. I'm not worried.

Mom. Tilde is telling everyone at work they're getting married.

Look, people talk. Dad's just confused.

No, he's a prick. Don't say that about your father.

You always defend him, and he's always treated you like shit.

What does Astrid say? She's busy with the wedding.

What's that? Some candy and magazines.

Mom, I'm not going to summer camp.

Where did you find them? In a box in the basement.

Mom, I'm going to be all right.

I can take care of myself.

But you're going away for so long.

I don't want you to.

Why can't they postpone it three days so you could make the wedding?

They can't stop the war for that.

Sure they can.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Oh, god! Look what you've done to my car.

What were you thinking? What were you thinking? Hello!

Are you hurt? Huh?

Are you hurt? No. Well, come out and see my car!

Come and see the side of my car!

Look all the way... No, no, no, no!

Stop! Just come out, okay? Just come out before you kill someone.

Just get out of the car. Come on.

Just get out of the car.

Oh... stop. Turn it off, turn it off, please. Turn it off. Okay?

Okay. Oh... look, I...

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Are you... I'm so sorry.

Lady, listen, you have to look, okay?

It's one of the things of driving. You have to look

when you're reversing the damn car.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Are you drunk?

No, I'm not drunk. What's wrong with you?

I didn't see you. You didn't see me? The car's huge!

I have a plane to catch...

Yeah, well, we all have to catch a damn plane.

You have to catch a plane. I have to catch a plane.

Now I'm not gonna be able to catch a plane.

Please stop crying. Stop crying.

I've been really unlucky lately...

And I'm not used to traveling alone.

All right.

Okay, uh, just give us yourhcense.

Let's just sort it out. Sort the thing out, yeah?

Yes. Yes. Yeah? You've got your driver's license?

All right.

I can't find it.

I don't have it. Yeah. Of course not.

I just have to catch that plane. My daughter's getting married in Italy.

Your daughter's getting married? Yeah?

In Italy? Your daughter's getting married in Italy?

What's her name?

What does that have to do with the car?

Well, my son's getting married in Italy.

You're Patrick's dad?

Yes. I'm Philip.

Ida.

So, Astrid's your daughter? Yeah.

Um...

All right, uh, look, we'll sort this all out down there, okay?

The insurance and everything like that and good luck parking.

No, no. Are you just leaving me?

Yeah. Listen, I gotta go, okay? Um...

Don't worry. You've got lots of time. Okay?

But...

Hey.

Oh!

Oh, god.

No, I'm just watching something here.

I'll call you... you call me back. All right?

Did you see that? Uh... yeah, I did.

It just wouldn't stop giving me cola.

Don't worry, I won't bother you. Hello.

Yeah. Okay.

Listen, it's the radishes, okay? Radishes are top priority.

Forget about everything else, you understand?

Okay. Speak to you soon.

It's actually funny that we haven't met each other before.

Yeah, well, I travel a lot and, um, I've been very busy.

Actually I'm very busy right now.

With those radishes?

Ithoughtyou only sold lemons.

I started out with the lemons.

But then you moved into the radish business?

I'm not in the radish business. There is no such thing.

Okay. What exactly is it you do then?

We sell a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

Tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, aubergines, runner beans, broccoli,

oranges and lemons.

And, of course, radishes.

Exciting.

Yep.

Oh!

Okay, now try this.

This is for when guests come, okay? Astrid: Mmm-hmm.

Try it. Franciacorta, very nice.

Patrick.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Cheers. For me.

Sorry. Oh, I like that one. That's very good.

Astrid: Mmm-hmm.

Marco: Hey, Alessandro!

You just carry on tasting wine

and I'll be back in two seconds, okay?

Marco: Okay, okay, okay.Bye. I'm fine.

Cheers. Cheers.

How do you say "cheers" in Italian?

This end? Yeah.

We'll try again. Okay. Fine.

Oh!

You're so emotional. You got your finger up your bum

and your brain in neutral.

Now sign them and send them. Thank you.

Car is waiting outside for us.

My suitcase hasn't come.

Fine.

Great. Just dandy.

Michael, you can't be both worthless and unambitious.

It's his seventh birthday. He won't even remember you being there.

Just buy him a card and get on the plane. Are we clear?

Good. Thank you.

I really don't understand why anybody will work for you.

When you're so awful and stupid and not nice.

I pay them good money.

And why are you traveling alone anyway? Where is Astrid's father?

What about your wife?

I'm sorry.

It's all right. I just thought that Patrick might have said...

Well, never mind.

What?

It's just that when he was younger,

he used to lie about his mother being alive.

No, no, no. He told us she died.

It was just me. I'm really sorry.

It's all right.

Anyway, tell me,

what exactly do you do?

What do you mean?

Well, what are you trained as?

Trained as? I'm not a dog.

What do you do for a living?

Oh, it's nothing exciting. I'm just a hairdresser. Uh-huh.

Hairdresser.

Why is that so funny?

Is it because I wear a wig?

- No. No, no, no, no. - It looks nice.

It looks very pretty. You're very pretty.

Sorry, I'm just not very good at compliments.

You should practice doing it more often.

You're a little thin at the top.

You should also trim your sides a bit.

Hi, mom!

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Hi, little mommy.

Mmm!

Hi.

Hi.

Good to see you. You, too.

This is nice.

Let me show you to your room.

Good to see you. And you. And you.

You didn't bring a suitcase? It's still in Copenhagen.

How was your flight?

Oh, the flight was good. The flight was good.

Oh, ijustgonna takeyourbag. Yeah. Thank you.

Aren't you happy?

Well, we've been very busy.

Patrick has been terrified all week.

How about you?

Well, I'm terrified, too.

My little girl's getting married!

Mom, how did you know dad was the one?

Did you know right away?

I just thought he was a dream.

Are you having doubts?

I don't know...

It's perfectly normal to have second thoughts.

Life doesn't hold any guarantees.

You aren't catholic, so you can always...

Very funny, mom. You've already got us divorced.

Sorry.

It'll work out, don't you think? Sure.

Has dad arrived?

Tomorrow.

Oh? He went to see Pompeii on the way.

Why didn't you fly out together?

Oh, you know...

Dad went and got all cultural.

Everything's just fine.

Magazines.

Thank you so much for letting us do this, dad.

Astrid is completely over the moon, it's amazing.

Yes, of course.

We've had to spend a bit of money though.

Quite a lot, actually.

We've almost maxed out all our credit cards.

I told you it was a mad idea.

You should have chosen a hotel instead.

Yes, I know.

Yes, well, never mind. We are here now.

You can borrow one of my credit cards.

Okay.

Is it strange, being back?

No. No, it was just a long trip.

I didn't think you wanted your old bedroom

so I've given you the purple one.

That's okay. Okay. Great.

Here you go.

I think this is going to be brilliant.

Gonna be a small wedding, but that's good.

And there'll be plenty of fruit. You'll like it, dad.

At least, I think you will.

If you're happy, I'm happy, Patrick.

Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna unpack and all that kind of thing.

Yes. Yes. Of course. It's fine.

I'm really glad you're here, dad. It means a lot.

Okay.

Vveh, byethen. Yeah, bye. Hlseeyou.

Bye, now. Bye.

Oi!

Good morning. Good morning.

Patrick?

Patrick?

I found all these pretty tablecloths and napkins.

Alessandro: Ciao. Ciao.

We just took a break. But we're so busy.

Astrid: When is the electrician coming?

He's here in two hours. Promise. Astrid: In two hours? Okay.

Hi, baby.

We've only been here 20 minutes.

I'm glad you're not stressed out.

But people will be here any minute. Well, let's get to it then.

Butwe sent for him...

These shoes are killing me.

So don't gorge on chips on the plane.

Salt retains water.

With those fat feet of yours, you should wear sandals.

Astrid: Benedikte.

This is my mom, ida.

Benedikte is Patrick's aunt. Her daughter, Alexandra.

Charming, isn't she?

All that excess luggage and she still didn't bring a decent pair of shoes.

My suitcase is gone. I have nothing.

I hate it when that happens!

What do we pay them for?

But your hair is beautiful.

It's a wig.

And you're funny, too.

Oh, well...

Did you fly out with Philip? Yes.

Isn't he a wonderful man? Isn't he to die for?

Who cares if he's ugly?

Just kidding.

Well, here we are. And isn't it wonderful here?

Philip, why don't you come over here, darling?

Benedikte, please.

Your voice would wake the dead.

I love you. I love your sense of humor.

Cheers.

Here comes dad. Hi, dad. Hi, sweetie.

Isn't that the girl from accounting?

What the hell is wrong with you?

You can't bring her to the wedding.

Let's all calm down. Calm down? You...

Drama!

What did she do that for, baby?

Just find me another shirt, baby.

Dad? Sweetie.

You look great. Some shack, huh?

Hi, leif. Welcome. Thanks.

Thanks, baby.

You've met tilde, haven't you?

Hi, sweetie. And thanks for inviting me on such a short fuse.

Dad, got a minute? Sure. I need to change anyway.

What the fuck, dad?

Her return flight got canceled.

Tilde broke down... What the fuck is going on?

I called to say she was coming. Stop right there!

Don't you give a damn about mom?

I've lost eight pounds over this.

Kenneth hates me.

And vibe, the hairdresser, spat at the company car on Friday.

This has been tough on me emotionally, too!

Here. Thanks.

This is my dad. Tilde romer, leif's fiancee.

Hi, tilde romer, leif's fiancee. Auntie benedikte.

Hanne. Hl

hi. Leif's fiancee.

Fiancee? Yes.

Why didn't you tell me you split up?

We didn't split up, Astrid. Have you gone mad?

What the fuck's going on?

He brought that slut from accounting. Don't use that language.

The word slut is invented for this.

Tell me what's going on. Be honest with me.

I'm sorry.

But I never dreamed he'd bring her. What an idiot.

He is a moron.

But really he's just confused, sad and unhappy.

My illness put a great strain on him.

Will you listen to yourself? You don't understand.

And you shouldn't.

It's your wedding. Don't waste your time on us.

It's going to be great.

Ifeelhke asking them to leave. No, he should be here.

He's your dad. It's your wedding.

Don't worry about me. I'll get myself together.

Go find Patrick.

Scram.

Philip: What are you doing?

Are you crazy? Come out.

Come on, come out, there's a rip current out there.

Why are you swimming out there?

That's crazy.

Just really, really crazy, with your treatment and everything.

Turn around.

I'm not staring.

It was really wonderful.

That's cold.

It's fresh.

Here, take my jacket.

No, it's okay.

Thank you.

Wait a second, sorry.

Ants. That's not good.

If there's ants, you can be sure the tree is infected with brazen scale.

What is that? It's an insect. A parasite.

Aonidiella aurantii.

It's a really very nasty, little horrible bug

that destroys the fruit first and then

destroys the whole tree.

Actually the females are the worst.

The males,

they're harmless.

They don't have a mouth.

So they can't eat, and they just die in a couple of days.

His life is absolutely without meaning.

But he must do something. No. Nothing.

Now the females, on the other hand,

they can actually reproduce asexually.

They're a very odd creature.

Very annoying

and very dangerous.

The lemons almost look like oranges from here.

Yeah, yeah, they all are. That tree back there,

that was an orange tree for 100 years

before it was pruned with a lemon.

Most of the trees you see here were oranges.

So they have to be nurtured the whole time

so they don't grow back as oranges.

It's a very time consuming and ongoing process.

So the tree can make both lemons and oranges?

Yeah. Mmm. I like that.

But you know, lemons, they are my favorite fruit. Oh?

I really can't imagine the world without them.

No.

No, nor could I.

Mmm!

Did you know that, botanically speaking,

the lemon is a Berry?

No.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, sorry. Um...

Okay. Thank you. Yeah.

Dig in. Not everyone's here. Let's wait...

There you are, Philip, was it a nice walk?

Did you clear your head? Yeah, my head is clear. Thank you.

So worried about you.

Oh, you look wonderful. Thank you so much.

It's just beautiful.

Oh. Ida and I bumped into each other.

You have his jacket on.

Astrid, this is amazing.

There are two different wines, dad.

I don't know which one you'd like.

I don't mind, I don't care.

Both are good. Okay.

Ahem.

Okay.

I'm leaving if you make a speech.

Mmm-mmm.

I know it's impolite to speak before dinner, so I'll make it short.

But as Patrick's aunt I feel obliged to say a few words.

After all, I have been taking care of Patrick these past many years.

I've been like his plastic mom.

Cardboard mom. Hey, you!

I'd rather be your auntie mom. Try being a mom for a start.

As such, it's my job to tell you you're not the center of attention tonight.

Nor are you, Astrid.

The center of attention tonight is our host, Philip.

Philip, Philip, Philip.

Yes?

And Philip, I think you should put your fingers in your ears,

'cause I'm saying things that are gonna make you blush.

Go on, dad.

No, I mean it, just put your fingers in your ears.

Are you serious? Yes, I'm serious. Put them in.

Go on, fingers in the ears.

Thank you.

Patrick, you have the most wonderful father.

Astrid, you're marrying a boy

whose father has meant the world to me and my daughter.

He was there when my little big daughter struggled with obesity.

That kept me awake at night.

He was there when she cut herself and did even worse things.

And he was there when I got divorced some years back.

A nasty divorce.

My ex-idiot I call him.

No, let's not talk about me.

This is your party. A party made possible by Philip.

You're blessed to be having it here

where he married my sister, what, 26 years ago?

Even then we fancied each other, didn't we?

Didn't we go wink at each other

and had a little flirt going on?

Until Elizabeth grabbed you from right under my nose.

Before I could count to three.

I don't know what I'm saying.

Seriously, though. She was a fantastic sister.

Excuse me for just a second.

I'm sorry.

I'll get on with it.

Patrick...

It was hard on you. You poor thing.

Itwas hard on Philip, too, but she would have been so proud

if she could have seen you with Astrid today.

I'm so proud of you, and so is Philip, I'm sure.

So I'd like to propose a toast and quote Henry Miller.

"You can never get nor give enough love."

And to quote Herman bang,

"indifference is love's most painful dregs."

Cheers. Cheers.

It's okay, baby.

I think we can sit down now.

Herman bang? Don't know the guy. Do you?

Herman bang? Sure.

You're just saying that to sound smart.

Let me do it. No, it was my fault.

Hey, stop that.

What are you doing?

How come you're not asleep?

Is something wrong?

No. I just needed a breath of fresh air.

The dinner went well.

Well, apart from auntie mom's speech,

your dad's girlfriend and the dress incident, it went fine.

That's family for you.

Can't escape the loonies.

The thing with the dress was fun. Sure.

I think everything's going to be...

Fantastic.

Go back to bed, baby. I'll be right in.

Okay?

Premarital sex is okay. You do know that, don't you?

How far do we have to walk in this stupid heat? It's so hard.

I have one thing to say to you. Spinning, spinning, spinning.

You look very different in that outfit.

I know, I tried all of Astrid's dresses on,

but then iwashed this one again. Mmm-hmm.

Even the wedding dress? Yeah, almost, she wouldn't let me.

Ungrateful children. No respect.

Is all this property yours, Philip?

Well, the property goes back about 16 acres that way.

You must make a bundle.

What's the going rate for those little yellow devils?

Don't talk about money all the time.

I don't.

Baby, take a breath and enjoy the nature.

Listen to the birds.

They're doing just fine. Without money, baby.

I'll lend you a dress. I brought four and I'm sure one of them fits you.

They're all tight, but one of them's made with stretchy fabric.

You could do my hair in return. Wouldn't that be great?

Great idea. But we're going shopping for tablecloths

and then we'll find you a nice dress, mom.

Tilde, come here.

Come on.

You bet we will.

Oh, look.

Beautiful.

There's Philip.

I thought they went back home. So did I.

We have to get back, too.

You go. I'll go and say hello.

You're sweet, mom. But maybe he wants to be alone.

Come on. Nobody wants that.

Okay.

Bye. See you later.

Hi. Hey.

Hi.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee? Uh...

No, no, I'm okay, I'm fine, thank you.

If I were you I would get that credit card back before it's too late.

You just bought me a very expensive dress.

Oh. Have I? Good god.

Yeah, I will pay you back, of course. Well, that's even better.

Is it pretty, the dress? Yes.

I've never had anything that nice before.

Yeah, look at that.

Well, you're gonna look very beautiful in it, I'm sure.

What would you like?

Cappuccino.

Two cappuccinos, please. Grazie.

You know you haven't said one nasty thing to me in over six minutes.

It's a magical thing, shence.

Yep.

Do you really think I'm that angry?

Yep.

How did you meet your wife?

We met here, actually.

Here?

Well, no, not right here,

but we met in Italy, in the south.

Then she went to Denmark and...

I stalked her.

Did she like that?

No, not really, she got used to it, though.

I mean, I worked on her and eventually,

she kind of softened up

and married me.

What happened?

What do you mean what happened?

I mean how did she die?

Do you mind that I ask?

No.

She was just

unfortunate.

It was a little,

stupid accident.

It was a mother and her three screaming kids in the back seat.

It was snowing.

The roads were slippery.

And she didn't brake in time.

I mean, she didn't even hit her that hard, itwasjust...

Elizabeth

just landed badly.

That must have been horrible.

You get over it.

I got over it.

Patrick got over it.

Get on with life.

The driver never did.

She insisted on meeting Patrick and me.

She wanted to apologize to us.

And then when she came into the room on that particular day,

all she did was just sit there and cry.

She didn't say a word. She just cried. She just blubbered.

Are you still angry with her?

No.

I'm not angry with her.

Now I'm just angry with everyone else.

Oh.

Benedikte. Good evening.

I just wanted to make sure you're all right.

All's good.

You know, with all the painful memories and everything.

No pain. Good.

Ah. I'm too excited to sleep.

Yeah, so much going on.

Just love Italy. The food, the wine and the romance.

No. Dontyou?

No, actually you're absolutely right.

Yeah, it's gonna be a great day tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah, great.

I'm thinking about why don't we go to the harbor

and have a glass of wine

and go over old days and just talk and just be ourselves?

Yeah, that'd be a great idea. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a great color on you this one,

you should wear that more often.

Good night. Yes, good night, yes, of course, yes.

Okay, bye, bye. Bye, bye.

This is ida hjort.

I'd like to talk to...

Oncology, please.

I just found a lump on my neck.

Haircut? Yeah. Si.

Grazie. A little trim on the sides. Prego. Yes.

Grazie.

Just trim? Just trim.

No short? No, just a little trim over the ears.

Okay, okay.

Here they are!

Congratulations! Thanks!

Kenneth!

What are you doing here? Would I miss your wedding?

What did you do to your arm? Ifeh, okay? And it hurts like hell.

Let's get this party started.

Mom will be thrilled to see you.

But there's something about dad. Now what?

I'm going to kick his ass. Don't, Kenneth.

Don't ruin your sister's party.

When my arm's okay, he's in for it. No.

You look pretty. Shut up.

Let's go.

Mom. What?

I mean it. You're pretty.

Let's go.

Alessandro. Hi. Hey.

Can I have you for a second?

You went and broke your arm, kid? Stay away from me.

Hi.

Hi.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Want a drink?

Yes, please.

Oh, my god, what a fabulous dress.

Did you find it in town?

Great place. Nice shops. Love it.

They're spending all his money. No, it's a loan.

It's a loan.

Itexceeded my credit card limit.

So you borrowed money off Philip?

That's very nice of you, Philip.

Just lending people money for clothes.

It's wonderful. It's very nice, also. Did you pick it out, too?

It's a beautiful dress.

Ida, take it. They serve a great grape down here.

You're a knock-out inthatdress. Thanks, leif.

Hi, sweetie.

You look pretty. Speak for yourself.

Sorry to interrupt.

Dinner is almost ready.

But first I'd like to welcome you all

and thank you for coming to our wedding.

You've made us very happy.

And then I'd like to remind everyone to go easy on the booze tonight,

because the real party isn't until tomorrow.

You could've told us. I'm just kidding.

We'd also like to say...

Fuck, I'm nervous. Sorry, I'm so pathetic.

We'd like to thank dad for making all of this possible.

Thanks. You're welcome.

We're very happy, dad.

I really hope you're enjoying this as much as we are.

Thank you.

Astrid, your turn.

This morning when iwoke up, I remembered the first time we met.

That was like a week ago?

Three months tomorrow, okay?

I'd only known Astrid for 15 minutes

when she told me she wanted to get married,

live in the country and have six wonderful children.

Astrid just wanted to be surrounded by love

and fill her life and heart with love.

I think that's simply fantastic.

I just started tomorrow's speech... I didn't mean to.

But, Astrid, I love you.

With all of my heart.

And I really hope I can help make your wish come true.

Cheers, baby.

Cheers.

All: Aw...

Dinner is ready.

Oh, my god. I can't believe we're pretending, you know, to be one of them.

I mean, you've seen the father?

He looks like a Lucian Freud painting.

What?

Come on. Let's go dance.

We're not going dancing. You go ahead and dance.

One single coating. 25,000 for a room.

Get off the couch.

Nice, huh?

Hey, get lost!

You remember the dress I wore yesterday?

Oh, yeah, I remember the dress. Mmm-hmm.

Well, this is not the same dress. This dress is for dancing.

Miss, miss, miss, come with me.

Come, come. What?

Oh! Alexandra. Is she drunk?

Oh, no. Oh, no, no. God forbid.

Come on, Alexandra.

What have you been up to, Alexandra?

Have you been drinking the heeltaps?

Put two fingers down your throat.

Two fingers down your throat, sweetie.

Mom, I feel terrible.

I've been looking fonnard to this trip for months.

You weren't supposed to come but dad couldn't take you. Again.

It's my turn to have fun,

so put two fingers down your throat, okay?

You might as well learn, the way you stuff yourself.

Go on. Two fingers. You'll feel much better.

Fuck, you're ugly.

I hate you. There you go. Me, me, me.

Think we could focus on mom for five minutes?

No, Alexandra!

Gross!

I'm not sure if I can remember how this works,

but I'd be honored if you'd have the next dance with me.

Of course.

What a lot of trees, huh?

And lots of lemons.

Oh, yes. It's beautiful.

It's wild to see them just hanging from a branch.

Got your drink on?

It's just like being on one of those "all inclusive" vacations.

Your arm is really awesome.

Weren't you, like, really scared?

No. I've tried all sorts of things.

That's combat for you.

You just don't think it's going to happen to you.

I was fucking lucky.

J“ that's amore

j“ when the world seems to shine

j“ like you've had too much wine

j“ that's amore

j“ bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling

j“ and you'll sing... j“

I'll be right back with the rest of that story.

Stay put, you hear?

What are you doing with an old fart like my dad?

You're really nice and beautiful.

Why don't you find a younger guy?

I don't know. I like mature men.

And you think my dad's mature? Sure.

But you're pretty mature, too.

J“ that's amore

j“ bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling

j“ and you'll sing, "vita Bella"...

May I?

Go ahead.

J“ hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay tippy-tlppy-tay

j“ like a gay tarantella

Just like old times.

I still remember some of the forbidden steps.

J“ when you dance down the street

j“ with a cloud at your feet

J“ you're in love j“

Leif... what?

I don't want to. Oh, come on.

Keep up. Leif, it's not funny.

Didn't you hear her? Let me dance with your mom.

Shut the fuck up! Lay off.

Just go. Don't push me, kiddo.

Ow!

Shut the fuck up or I'm going to kick your ass!

You've always been a shitty dad! Kenneth!

Stay the fuck away!

Leifielovie, baby!

Leifielovie, are you okay?

Stop calling me leifielovie!

Kenneth!

Kenneth.

That was a great left hook your son's got.

But he can't hit his father.

Yeah, well, he had it coming.

He deserved it.

I'm sorry, we're such a crazy family.

No, don't be. It's great.

It's just...

It's just...

This past year has just really been strange.

I mean, a lot of things have happened

and not many of them have been nice.

I'm sorry.

I really, really am sorry.

Your illness...

Wanna talk about it? No? No, not yet. No.

Okay. That's fine. Yeah.

But I mean, right now, you're well.

Shit!

What did you do that for?

Because_.

I don't know.

Right now though, are you well?

I don't know.

I finished the treatment.

I don't know if I'm cured yet.

Right now, there are so many things.

Why are you so nice to me?

Because you're wonderful.

No, I'm not. Because you're beautiful.

No, I'm really not beautiful.

That was a long time ago.

Oh, come on, you still are.

You just have no idea how beautiful you really are.

Truly, you are so beautiful.

Philip, Philip, I heard about the violence in the house.

Oh, my god, I hope you're all right.

Yes.

I'm great.

That's what I'm telling you. That family is just... oh.

Whoops!

I was just looking for Kenneth.

Yeah.

Vveh, golook for Kenneth.

Ah.

Alexandra's finally asleep.

Philip: Good.

Just lying there looking like a baby, you know?

So vulnerable when they're asleep.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

What were you two talking about?

Listen, I just want to be alone right now.

Okay? Just... no. That's what I'm here for, darling, you know.

You don't have to do everything on your own.

And by the way, you owe me a dance.

No, I don't.

I don't owe you a dance.

Let's cut the charade.

I mean, who are we kidding, honestly?

What are you talking about? What are you trying to say?

I love you, and you love me.

And you always did.

Perfect match.

You always loved me.

I know that.

Don't. Don't.

Don't. And...

To be honest with you...

I mean, you're not really trying to convince yourself

that you're falling in love with that...

Hairdresser, are you?

I mean, you might as well fall in love with

a Russian postal bride on the Internet.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I know.

Let me tell you something, benedikte.

I never like to be impolite, but for many years now,

it's been an absolute mystery to me

that you and your sister, Elizabeth, could actually be related.

Because she was the kindest, the most beautiful soul any man could meet.

She was everything that you are not.

Now, I've put up with you, but only because of Patrick and Alexandra.

And I will continue to do so.

However,

there is absolutely nothing about you

that I find remotely attractive.

You are the most awful person I have ever known.

Sit down.

Now, I'm gonna go to bed.

Stay away! Understand?

What are you doing? They think we're all psychos now.

You're mad about him.

Sure, he's a hunk. You admit it?

So marry him instead!

You're all over each other!

Baby, he's into guys. What?

He's gay.

How do you know? Marco told me, but it's a secret.

Alessandro is afraid of telling his family, so don't...

You're the one he's got a crush on.

Go and apologize to him and come back and dance with me.

Alessandro, I'm sorry.

I thought you were... You and Astrid.

You know?

Whoo!

I know I shouldn't have punched him.

Butjust the sight of him pisses me off.

If only he had one good quality, but he doesn't.

Sure he does. What? Honestly?

What did you fall for back then?

I remember grandma saying he had nice table manners.

That meant he was raised properly.

Sfihishoumnt have punched him. No, but he'll get over it.

He's sturdy.

It was stupid of me to come. No, it was a great idea.

Or we wouldn't have sat here splashing our feet, you and I.

I'm so glad you broke that arm.

Mom, cut it out. What?

What?

Shouldn't you go to bed?

No way.

Why would I?

What are you doing here?

I don't think Patrick wants to go through with this, mom.

What makes you say that?

There's something wrong.

I know I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world,

but he doesn't want me at all.

He wants the party and his stupid dad and Alessandro

and the wine and the food and the friends,

but he doesn't want me.

You're not even contradicting me.

I've been such a fool. You're not a fool.

You're the most beautiful girl in the world.

Maybe he's just nervous and stressed out.

Sure, but that's not all.

I can feel it. He's not into me.

He never looks me in the eyes.

Well, he'd have to stand on his toes.

Mom, why do you always crack jokes at the wrong time?

Sorry.

He goes mad with jealousy if someone even looks at me,

but he won't touch me when we're alone.

We haven't made love once while we've been here.

Maybe he's just scared. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know anything.

Benedikte, if that's you, I'm gonna kill you!

I'm gonna kill you. This woman drives me fucking insane.

You just...

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Is Patrick here?

Uh, Patrick? No.

I can't find him anywhere.

Oh, um...

What happened?

I don't know. He just left.

You go back to bed. Come on. Go back to bed.

Don't worry.

Hey. What's going on?

Nothing.

It was a stupid idea, getting married.

No, it wasn't. Yes, it was.

I thought that me getting married and you coming back here

would solve everything,

but it didn't.

I'm so stupid.

I'm so stupid!

And you always thought so!

That's not true. It is.

I have spent so much time trying to figure out how to make you happy.

It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Patrick, I know I haven't always been...

Been the greatest dad in the world.

But I've never wanted you to do anything for my sake...

Shut up.

I just wanted you to... shut up!

You're such an idiot, dad.

Such an idiot!

You've just been too busy feeling sorry for yourself.

Yeah.

Perhaps you're right.

I'm sorry.

But why do you suddenly care about all that?

Patrick...

I don't know what the hell I want, for Christ's sake!

I don't know anything.

I feel empty inside.

Patrick.

Yeah.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Just go.

I'll get it together.

No. Hey, come on.

No.

Just go.

Just go.

Please.

Hi. Listen...

We'd better prepare ourselves for a delay.

Tilde?

Well, can we guests do anything to help?

No, I don't think so.

Can we have something to drink? The old people are getting hot.

Don't you shush me. I'm just trying to help.

Here you go, sweetie.

Well, we're very sorry, but we're not getting married.

We apologize for dragging you down here in vain.

We hope you...

We don't hate each other.

We just can't lie to each other or to you or to ourselves.

I'm sick and tired of keeping up appearances.

Or going through the motions because the truth is too upsetting.

I'm fed up with your lies.

You can't lie your way through life just because it's easier.

Looking at you I just know

that's how you end up fat, old and unhappy.

And I don't want to end up that way.

Itsnobodys fault or anything... damn right it is!

It's not Astrid. I've been a fool from the very start.

Okay? Yes.

I'm sorry.

But it doesn't matter now.

We're not right for each other.

So we're not...

We still have a choice.

I can't keep my lid on anymore.

What now then?

Is the buffet still on?

What about all the gifts?

We'd just like a little information.

Okay. I'm going to try to catch a flight out tonight.

The rest of you can do as you like.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, dad.

I'm sorry.

Let me help you with that.

I'm sorry.

Thank you very much for having us.

Leif?

Ida, lcanthve without you.

I know I've been a jerk. I hope you can forgive me.

You were right. We belong together.

What about tilde? I'm through with her.

It was a huge mistake, and I admit that from the bottom...

You're the only woman for me.

What makes you say that?

It's the truth.

Haven't you always said we have to stick together at all costs?

Yes... we're right for each other.

I'd just plain forgotten how beautiful and fantastic you are.

I really do love you, and I always have.

Please take me back, ida.

Thank you.

Thank you, ida.

It's a perfectly natural reaction to think you've had a relapse.

I know, but I have a bad feeling about this. I felt a lump.

I don't feel any lump.

But you may be right.

Your prognosis isn't promising. I don't want to give you false hope.

But I don't feel a thing.

If I were to send everyone with a bad feeling through extensive check-ups,

the entire system would collapse.

Let's hold our horses as long as we're dealing with psychological symptoms.

What's psychological about a lump? But I don't feel any lump.

People have the oddest symptoms.

Last week, a patient felt a squirrel inside his head.

Oh.

I'd really, really like to have it checked.

Let's add a little bounce to the sides.

Or else you'll look like John Lennon.

Ida, get a cup of coffee, will you? Sure.

Hi.

Hi.

So...

This is where you've been hiding?

Yeah, this is Patrick's father.

Hello. Hi. Philip. Philip Saunders. Hello, there.

Yes, I've heard a lot about you.

What are you doing here?

I just came to get a haircut.

Have my sides trimmed.

I don't think we can fit you in today.

Sure we can. It's just a trim.

You've got time. Be nice to the customers.

Well...

So how's Patrick?

He's much better.

He's good.

And Astrid?

She's going traveling with Kenneth.

I've decided to go back to Italy.

Cut down on my workload and just...

It sounds like a good idea.

I know you think I'm an idiot.

And this is all very strange, but...

Would you like to come and visit me?

Why would I do that?

Because_.

I've been thinking about you ever since we left.

You have to turn your head, so I can cut your hair.

Would you at least consider it? I can't.

Why not?

Because I can't.

Why?

You shouldn't be with someone like me. You could have anyone.

I don't wantjust anyone.

I want you.

Ida, canljustsay_. Be quiet, vibe.

You don't want to be with someone like me.

You don't know what might happen. Anything could happen.

You can't just come in here and invite people to Italy.

Besides, leif has moved back in.

You can't be serious, ida. Yes.

And I love leif.

I don't need any more confusion in my life.

Would you please leave?

I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean to upset you.

Just go.

He only had one side trimmed.

Shush, or I'll trim your other side.

Well, thanks for lunch.

I've got a great idea.

We are going to take out another mortgage

and then we're going away on a trip.

Sure.

To the Seychelles.

It'll cost us a bundle, but damn, it's beautiful there.

Hello!

What's wrong? I don't want to.

Okay.

We'll spend the money on something else.

But I...

I don't want to do anything with you, leif.

Well, then...

Spend the money on yourself.

Leif, it's over between us.

I don't want to sit on a patio

drinking coffee when we're old.

I'm going to go now, leif.

Where are you going?

Ida, I asked you a question. Where are you going?

Ida.

Where are you going?

Goodbye.

Ida?

Ida, for fuck's sake!

Ida.

What are you doing here?

I've come to find you.

Well, here I am.

And I want to ask you for a favor.

I have a letter from the hospital.

I don't know what it says.

I've been afraid to open it alone.

This probably sounds silly.

I can do it if you do it with me.

Shall I open this?

Would you?

Whatever it says in here,

I want you to know how happy I am that you came here.

The mere fact that we ever met in the first place

is something to be happy about.

At least I am.

And I will be for as long as I have the pleasure of your company

whether it's for 10 minutes,

two years or 30 years.

Would you mind if I kissed you first?

No.
