Thank you for last night.
Thank you .
What do you think?
Ask her. She's probably right next to you.
She first thought he was in the middle of a jump.
How hard can it be to have the paper delivered to your door?
- Call them. - Call them?
How many times do I have to say this. You are the customer.
Call them. They deliver to my front door, and I'm on the fourth floor.
It's a waste of a phone call. Nobody gives a shit about an old geezer like me anyway.
But I got my exercise. Out of my way, Dag.
Bergersen...
Oh, yes... How many?
Two left and two right, I'm tired.
- Shit! - Ok?
Oh! Oh, shit.
It went really well, actually.
If you can say that when it ends with the door slammed in your face.
- I'm really sorry about that. - But do you think he'll call?
- Would you want him to? - Some kind of response might be nice.
He responded to your text and he paid the bill?
Well, that covers his entire emotional register.
No, there's more to him than that.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about him...
- Yes, it's called Valium. - No...
- Yes. Thanks for giving it a go, anyway. - I'm not giving up now.
- Your brother's going down. - Down?
Jesus, you said yourself he needs to get laid.
- That's a really disturbing image. - Your brother getting laid?
- Nothing? - No, you're just a bit red.
Clear-eyes?
Why don't you ask him to stop that nonsense with the paper?
Bergersen? It makes him happy.
Tissue?
Why are you working here, Malin? You're smart enough to do anything.
Don't ask. Go help those who need it.
- First time here. - Yes.
So now you're talking, all of a sudden.
- I didn't really want to come here... - No, men typically don't.
As it's your first time here, -
- I can start off by telling you a bit about yourselves.
Karin, you would like to get married, and Thomas think's that's a bad idea.
Is that right?
You have children, perhaps? Karin, you would like another child, and Thomas, you don't.
Karin, you're still trying to speak lightly of this.
As in: "We all have to get married eventually."
Whereas you, Thomas, want to keep your options open.
There's a couple of ladies out there you'd like to do before you go bold.
You, Karin, feel that getting married, -
- will get you closer to your goal of having another child.
And time's not on your side, you're getting on a bit.
I guess that was it!
You can continue from here.
Was that it?
- He doesn't touch me anymore. - Sure, I do.
- No, you never touch me. - I do.
We don't have sex anymore.
- Is there something wrong with me? - No!
Then what is it?
We've had this conversation hundreds of times. I can't have it again!
That's great, Thomas. Hold that thought...
Malin. Could you bring me a damp cloth? My eye is swelling up again.
Thank you.
Yes... Where were we?
Have you considered that your relationship might just be over?
What do you think about marriage?
- We're not here to talk about me. - I don't give a shit.
If you're going to help us, I need to know you're not biased.
Right, well. If you live alone, your mood is how happy you are.
Living together, you're only as happy as the least happy person there.
When it comes to marriage, it makes no sense to give up half your freedom, -
- doubling the responsibility, and gaining nothing.
- What should a relationship be like? - I have no opinion on that.
Most well-functioning relationships I know of, are not based of love.
They're based on guilt and conscience.
Love goes in waves, but guilt, that's a constant.
If you feel you owe your partner because of your sins, -
- you tend to go the extra mile in order to please them.
As such, cheating has saved a whole load of relationships.
- Are you OK with Theo minding the store? - Why shouldn't I be?
He might get tempted to empty the till to impress a girl.
I know the damage you can cause a penis, Eva...
We had penises once, remember? When we were 19 or 20?
- We were on top of the world. - Balls.
You mean balls. Courage has nothing to do with a penis, you should now.
Sometimes I think that once Theo moves out, I'll get on a train, -
- not knowing the destination. - You haven't missed out anything.
I took that train... All I've got to show for it fits in a bag.
You've got a home, a child... You belong. You've got nothing to complain about.
- Except perhaps that ringtone. - It's not ringing, it's a reminder.
Theo added it to be shitty and I don't know how to change it.
- What's the reminder for? - I've got Dag a psychologist appt.
He knows, of course. I'm just reminding him.
It's not really a psychologist, it's an emotional coach.
Oh, dear.
- He needed a shoulder to cry on. - Got it.
- Your sister called. - Was it about the therapy?
She didn't say. But she will show up here if you don't call her back.
Persistence! Remind me to add that to her file.
You don't keep a file on your sister?
Oh my god, you do! Therapy might not be/ a bad idea for you, Dag.
I need to get home. Please cancel the rest of today's appointments.
- All of them? - All of them.
- What do I tell them? - "If they need couples therapy, -
- they should put their money towards house advertising and a trailer."
I'll say you're ill and they need to come back next week.
Tell Marianne exactly the same, pleaser.
- See you. - Bye.
Oh dear. Poor you...
Come here, and I'll make you a cup of tea.
You can take the mug home. Would you like that?
What's so terribly sad that you needed a shoulder to cry on?
- Mommy. - Mummy? Oh dear...
Do you have any Valium?
- How did you get in? - I slipped inside after the old guy.
- I normally buy off you? - I know. But right now I don't have any, -
and I know you do.
I'm just going into your hallway, OK?
Wait here.
