Out Of Bounds (Labrador)

OUT OF BOUNDS

Do you come by every day? - See that semaphore?

Yes. - When it's up, we come in.

Pretty smart.

When we want to go home, we'll just raise that thing.

Does he know we're coming? - I wrote we might.

Did he reply? - He never replies to my letters.

There's no phone or e-mail here. - Wow.

Is that a raven?

There aren't any ravens out here in the middle of the sea.

How do you say "raven" in Swedish? - Korp.

Hey, korp!

Amazing how it changes.

What's up with the microclimate out here?

He isn't home, is he?

He can't be far away. The boat's here. Come on.

Only fools tidy up.

A true genius controls chaos. - You're a fine one to talk.

I never called myself a genius, but I'm an okay journalist.

Cool to get a glimpse of the shrine.

So this is how Nathan Hermanson lives.

Think he'd give an interview?

Interested, huh? Are you turning into a snob?

It's kind of sad to be so into sports.

In a 100 years, who cares?

Let's wait outside. - Yeah.

Let's hoist his gift. - We'll ruin the surprise.

It'll make a nice welcome.

Yeah, let's do it.

We have the chocolate for him, too.

Here, girl.

Hi. - Elvira!

Hi, Dad.

Elvira!

Stop that.

She isn't used to guests.

Dad, this is my boyfriend, Oskar Oskar, this is my dad, Nathan.

I can see that. - It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

I'll show you where you're going to stay.

You'll have this all to yourselves. - Great.

The outhouse is up the hill, and there's the flashlight. Have fun.

You don't need to lock the door. I'm the only one on the island.

Was anything wrong with my flag? - No.

It's a gift from Oskar - I see. Thanks.

You'd think someone died in here. - Don't say that.

We don't need to stay that much in here. We'll go for long walks.

Who usually lives here, you think?

A lesbian couple from Germany. - Ornithologists?

A couple of lesbian ornithologists from Germany.

Let's make the bed.

Yeah.

I'd just like to see the soccer lineup.

I'm covering that game.

How about food? You didn't know it was going to be like this?

I haven't been here in five years. Back then there was a harbor store.

And the campground had a snack ban But that was mostly in the summer.

The island has seen better days, it seems.

Aren't you hungry?All we've had today are a couple of biscuits.

Oskar, I'm pregnant. - What?

How did that happen?

How far along are you? - Not fan

I missed my period and bought a pregnancy test.

Why haven't you told me? - I took the test a couple of days ago.

And I'm telling you now, aren't I?

Hello there, Elvira.

Who's a good girl? Hi there.

Let's not tell your dad, okay?

Fed up with your house already? - Yeah. Are we intruding?

I was just about to work. - We'll come back later then, Stella.

I thought you were hungry. - The Dane's hungry, is he?

I can wait. - For what? For me to cook for you?

No - Better find something to eat then.

I forgot to bring food, Dad.

The sea's full of fish. Take the boat.

Sure.

Let's go fishing then, Stella. - Okay.

Can we borrow a couple of rods? - Everything is in the boat.

I'm not wearing those. No way. - Yes!

Hi.

Catch anything? - No.

Here.

You can thaw them in the sea.

We'll eat in a couple of hours. - Okay.

He doesn't seem thrilled to see us. - He's happy to see us.

He just doesn't show it. - He sure doesn't.

You don't look like father and daughter.

If you hadn't told me, I'd never have guessed.

It's those ravens again. - There aren't any ravens out here.

They sure aren't seagulls. - Maybe they're vultures.

Why do you kiss on the mouth? - Relax, Oskar. He's my dad.

It's strange to kiss your own daughter on the mouth. My dad doesn't kiss me.

He doesn't even kiss my mom. - That says more about your family.

I remember a birthday, before they split up. I turned four or five.

We hid in an igloo we'd made.

He and my mom had had a fight, so we hid from hen

Then he taught me how to smoke because it was my birthday.

I puked like crazy.

How could the commune stand him? - They couldn't.

But he didn't give a damn.

But how - I don't care.

I'm just happy to see him again.

I wouldn't have forgiven him for taking off.

I just think it's great he's there for me now.

But he isn't. He's cooped up on some island out of touch and out of reach.

Stop its

So,Oskar. How long have you been seeing my Stella?

Well, two years, I guess.

On and off, but two years altogether.

How come I haven't met you before?

I don't know. We've often talked about coming to see you, but

You haven't seen Stella in 5 years. - Why do I see you now?

What do you mean? - Why, Romeo? Is she knocked up?

Did Stella tell you?

Don't you ever feel lonely out here? I'd go mad living on an island.

Maybe you should get an au pair or something.

It must be lonely - I'm not lonely.

I have Elvira, and sometimes I meet the fishermen at sea.

Every other month my art dealer visits me.

Each yea; in February and March - You go to Rio.

You haven't missed the carnival in 30 years.

I googled you. Sorry. I know about your apartment in Copacabana, too.

How often did Stella's mom go? - Never, I'm afraid.

She must have gone with you the year Stella was born.

Oh.

Don't you miss your family? - Sure I miss a woman now and then.

But I've been better off out here at sea missing my wife and my kid -

than at home with my wife and my kid missing the sea.

It's spared me a lot of worries -

if you want to make life easier for yourself, that is.

Easy now, Elvira.

He knows you're pregnant.

Why did you tell him? I wanted to tell him myself.

He just knew. I didn't say anything.

How long have you had her? - Elvira? Quite some time.

Know what breed she is? - A Labrador? I'm not big on dogs.

A Rottweiler - Hell no!

She's a Labrador Retriever The best dog breed ever bred.

What makes it so good? - Who says she's good?

She obeys me -

and if I get tired of hen I can always get rid of hen

But Elvira is nice and happy every day.

She doesn't talk a lot of shit.

If I keep her on the island, away from other dogs, she won't get knocked up.

I see. Not many women would accept those terms.

Oskar says you know I'm pregnant.

Isn't it great?

Sure.

But we don't know if we're keeping the baby.

Or Oskar doesn't. I really want to.

But not if it means he's going to run off to some island later on.

The two of you have already had an abortion, right?

That's true.

But that was two years ago. We were young and had only just met.

No relationship can survive two abortions.

Anyone can make a mistake, but if you choose abortion a second time

Then what? - Well, then you don't want to commit.

So you think we should keep it? - No, Stella.

I'm just saying that no relationship can survive two abortions, that's all.

Look, on one hand you say no relationship can survive two abortions.

On the other you say you don't think Stella and I should keep the baby.

Then I can only conclude you want us to split up.

Conclude whatever the hell you like. - You're arguing that

I'm not arguing anything.

You're jumping to conclusions, not I. - Cut it out.

How about some dessert? We have those biscuits.

Thanks. - Would you like some?

Not now. But you two go ahead.

Biscuits? - Yes, please.

You can speak freely now. You don't think we should keep the baby.

You don't want us to be together You think I'm wrong for Stella.

Don't you tell me what to think.

So you tell me. - And don't tell me what to do either.

Want one?

How about a beer? - Sure.

No thanks.

You don't drink? - Sure, but

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Gross!

Jesus Christ!

Are you asleep?

Were you asleep? - Yes or no. I think I was awake.

Why aren't you dressed? - We went for a dip.

A dip? - I'm going to pose for him tomorrow.

Think you can find something to do? - Like what?
