Bonus Family (Bonusfamiljen)

Your, um... Your office is by Vanadisplan, right?

That's right.

Great. Must be great to work downtown.

Sure. That's where the office is, so...

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

- Ylva. - Martin.

- Jan. - Please, have a seat.

And exhale.

I think I'll inhale too, if that's all right.

OK, let's get started.

- The reason we're here today... - I'll just lose the jacket.

Anyway, the reason we're here is that the four of you made an appointment.

Well, Lisa made the appointment.

Right, Lisa and Patrik have been here before.

To be proactive, not because we've had any issues.

It's like Zlatan working out even though he's not injured, just to stay ahead.

OK, good to know. Perhaps we should...?

Absolutely.

- I'd like Lisa to start. - Sure, no problem.

First I'd like to say that I'm so glad you're here.

It means a lot to me and to us.

And especially to the kids.

It's very important for us to discuss what happened at the party.

Party? Did it feel like a party to you? I thought it felt more like mass suicide.

The point, Katja, is that our kids go to extreme lengths to get our attention.

- Can we start at the beginning, please? - Sure. It was a terrible idea.

- I disagree completely. - I think you're alone in that.

When it becomes a matter of life and death, it's a bad idea.

- Life and death? Please. - Listen...

I realize that you all have your own subjective take on what happened.

But while you're here, it would be helpful if you calmed down a little,

and make an effort to hear each other out.

- You should all try... - ...not to interrupt each other.

- I hope you can all agree to that. - Yes.

You kind of interrupted him there, you know.

SEVEN DAYS EARLIER

Mom?

Coming.

- Mom! - I'm coming!

- Where are you? - I'm coming, honey!

I'm making you a sandwich, Eddie, so please hurry up.

- Need help? - No, he'll be down in a minute.

- Good morning, Wille. How are you? - I'm fine, how are you?

How do you feel about your birthday coming up?

Excited, I guess.

Lovely. - Eddie!

- There's a wish list on the fridge. - Great.

Travel chess set, a book in English...

- Polo shirt? Like people wear for golf? - Yeah, like this one.

- You want another one? - I'd like one in a different color.

Eddie made a list too.

A "wesh list".

- What's Killer Instinct? - A computer game.

He's a good speller in English.

- Eddie! - Go brush your teeth while I clear.

I'll meet you in the car.

- What's up? - Katja.

She's complicating the drop-off, causing trouble for the rest of us.

Hey, honey, tonight...

Tonight, you're in for a wild ride.

- Are you doing something gross tonight? - No, nothing gross.

- You're doing something. What? - Nothing gross.

Maybe just a little gross.

Mom, take it easy.

- I'm going to miss you, sweetie. - Whatever.

- Do you have everything? - How should I know?

Here's your sandwich. Kiss. I miss you already. See you in a week.

Bye, Wille. I'll see you in a week too.

Kiss, kiss. And another. Bye.

- Patrik! Bianca's coming. - No, I'll take my bike.

- Have you got time? - Yeah, it's fine.

All right, bye.

Want to do something after school, just you and me?

- I've got dance class, so I can't. - Before that?

- No, I can't. - Are you sure? All right. Shame.

Have a great week. Call if you need anything. I love you.

A lot of people failed.

Don't look at those. They're confidential.

- Guess what? I bought presents for you. - What?

I can't divulge that information, but they cost a fortune.

The sales guy asked if I had twins.

"Yeah, I do. Kind of." Cool, huh?

This is such a piece of shit car!

- Stop banging on it. - The sound back here sucks!

Breaking the speaker won't help.

- My dad and I think your car is ugly. - What does he ride?

Longboard? A scooter?

- Stop. Drop me off here. - We're not there yet.

- Drop me off here! - All right, take it easy. God...

Piece of shit car.

I love you too.

I've got you a little pre-gift. Our little secret.

- Thanks! I love you. - Love you too.

Tell your mother I'll be in touch about your birthday.

And sweetie, I think you're the nicest and coolest guy in the world.

Don't worry about him not wanting to be seen in school with you.

I think it's you he doesn't want to be seen with.

- Yo! Coming out tonight? - What? Absolutely not.

I've got the kids.

- Has it been a week already? - Yes, it has.

What a life! Bachelor one week, running all over town, spreading your seed.

Family man the next week, looking after the kids, telling goodnight stories...

- Sharing your fatherly wisdom. - Right. Living the dream.

What do you think?

23-ish, leaving his parents' house.

Oh, come on.

Anyone under 25 looking at a queen-size bed is leaving home, yes.

But anyone 25 and above, like him, is recently separated.

It's like you don't listen.

- I've got stuff to do. Hold down the fort. - Absolutely.

Sebbe! You've got a customer. Come on.

- Hello. - Hi.

I just wanted to see if we're on for tomorrow morning. Eddie's birthday.

Sure, I don't see why not.

When will you be there? 6:30?

Yeah, 6:30 sounds great.

Good. Hey, do you know what he wants?

We bought him a bike.

- We? - Patrik and I.

You're giving him something from the two of you?

- That's right. - OK. Great.

- Want to hear his wish list? - No, that's OK.

I know what he wants. I just bought him something, actually.

Listen, I'm in the middle of something. Bye.

Hey. I've got a kid turning ten. Any ideas?

How about one of these helicopters?

Remote control, for indoor use. On sale.

Or there's this...

A slush machine. Soda and crushed ice, it's very popular.

I remember those from growing up. The memories...

- How much is it? - 1,100.

- Right. - The helicopter is 159.

Right, tough call. I'm just worried about the sugar. They drink enough soda.

I think I'll go with the helicopter. That's great, thanks.

- Can we save more on materials? - No, at least not on surfaces.

On building materials maybe. I'll call the contractor again.

Sorry. Your wife called again to ask if you're going to make it.

I don't know. I'll call her back.

Aurell, for fuck's sake. Where can we cut the last 800?

We could reduce the space, perhaps.

I have to prepare for tomorrow's board meeting. Let Aspgren find a solution.

One more thing, Katja...

- Sex tonight? - I've got my kid this week.

Right. Thanks, bye.

- Hi! - Hi, honey.

This is nice. I love this.

We can do whatever we want now. A whole week to ourselves.

Like we're head over heels and young.

I mean, I am head over heels for you. You know what I mean. Carefree.

Hi. Something to drink?

- Are we having wine? - Not for me, thanks.

All right, no wine. Sparkling water, is that allowed?

Two glasses of sparkling water, please.

What's up? Tell me.

I really want this to work.

We have to make it work. We have to do all we can to be a family.

Of course! You don't think I want that too?

I was thinking we could throw the boys a joint birthday party.

Yeah... Sure we can.

But?

But I think Katja and Martin might object to us throwing our own party.

- We'll invite them. - No, no, no!

Having the party is challenging enough. Inviting them is asking for trouble.

- Martin hates me. He wants to kill me. - Don't be silly.

I don't like this at all. Katja is going to think it's a terrible idea.

This is the problem. The bad vibe and atmosphere among us adults.

It rubs off on the kids.

How will they feel if we grown-ups can't throw a party together? That's crazy.

You want to start World War III in our lovely new home? Is that it?

No. I'm saying I want to throw a party.

How are we even going to get everyone together?

This might be the worst idea I've ever heard.

But it would be great to do something together.

Why would I want to act out Fanny and Alexander?

- This aggression rubs off on the kids. - What aggression? Speak for yourself.

- I just don't get why we should do this. - For Eddie's sake.

For your sake, you mean.

It's for William.

- I have to work pretty much all weekend. - Hang on.

- He can only do Sunday. - Katja can only do Saturday.

- How about Friday night? - No, I can't do Friday.

Hang on, new day.

My mother and I are having dinner. Sorry.

Saturday morning.

- How's Saturday morning? - Fine. On one condition:

- You have to organize the next party too. - OK, deal.

I just don't see why I should come when you won't come tomorrow.

- Of course I'll come. So you'll be here? - Yeah, all right.

Party for William and Eddie this Saturday, 10:30 am-1:10 pm.

All right, all right...

- I washed your T-shirt. - You scared me, Mom!

Looks good, right? Hey, don't just toss it there after I've washed it.

And the kids are coming tonight! That's great.

Hi, Martin! What are you snooping around for?

I'm just hiding the present I got for Eddie.

Come down and have some coffee and a chat with us.

- I can't, I have to go get Eddie. - Don't start cleaning, we'll do it later.

Just go, we'll have it done before you're back.

- You're a fighter. - Well, it literally is a fight, so...

- You know Mommy loves you, right? - I'm well aware of that, yes.
