Born pure into the future's hands in these cold and northern lands

Eppu Normaali "A Land of Mournful Songs“

I never wanted this to happen.

Do you remember the questions we asked each other as kids?

How big is space?

Where does the sky end? Where does the sea begin?

Why can't I scream when I feel bad?

What's the point of living if this life is merely he"?

But we have to believe that in the end -

things work out for the best.

Otherwise, nothing makes any sense.

FROZEN LAND

Commencement, conflict, transformation, and so on.

What's relevant is what is said, not how it's said.

Tell me about Tolstoy's world.

He discusses one -

where people peddle their own private hells.

Person A shoves it onto B -

who cannot help but pass it onto C. And so on

Essays back next week please.

And don't download them from the net.

This is our new EDP teacher. - Antti Arhama, physics and EDP.

Pertti Smolander. Literature studies I' though not very literate.

I'll be back shortly. Pertti, can I see you for a moment?

You're talked of as our most popular, -

possibly our best teacher.

I wouldn't know about that.

But we have a problem which means -

we are going to have to let you go.

Our main focus on EDP and math -

means we don't need so many Lit. teachers.

It's beyond my control I'm afraid. I'm really sorry.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Hell. Cold

Was there this much snow last winter when I got the boot.

Where are we going?

Niko! Niko!

Turn it down.

You're like Oblomov. You only bloody lie there.

Pull yourself together.

I promised to lend this to these guys.

Just temporarily.

The CD player? I gotta disk in it.

It'll stay there.

Keep it. Have fun! We didn't like it anyway!

Get out of here. Go on. You know where the door is.

I saved a long time for that player.

Leave me alone. Just like your mom did.

Take the whole shelf.

Give that to me.

Are you trying to teach ME?

Are you raising ME, you punk?

Move on out!

Niko, please.

Lend me a twenty.

If I had it, I would. I don't have any.

"I don't have any"-

Where did you get it before? - None of your business

Beat it! And don't come back!

Not without a job!

Were you sleeping? - No

Oh, yes you were. Sleeping this late.

Hi. Happy New Year.

What am I doing with these?

Is this a bad time to call?

How come you're not opening the door?

What's the plan for tonight? Fireworks?

My cousin's throwing a party. - I'll join you.

We can do the fireworks.

Can I take a nap here? I'm fucked. - Be my guest.

I have to take my parents to the airport.

We're off. - My old man threw me out.

What? - Nothing. See you tonight.

Chill out. Lock the door.

What's this place we're going? - It's my cousin's.

What's in there? - What are you up to? Where are you going?

Let's take him with us. - Are you coming with us?

Heavy duty.

Going downhill is much less hassle than going up.

Mankind is coming to the end...

Yeah. The end is near.

I mean really close.

Can you upgrade my computer?

Six, five, four, -

three, two, one!

Ten, nine, eight

What's up? Pass it this way.

Pass it on to Tuomas. - He won't have any.

What's that?

Print it out! - No way.

Go on. Let's take a look..

Can I have a line? Just one.

I'll have your line, too.

Coming, coming!

Tuomas. Why not give it a try? - Don't touch anything!

Come back to the party! - You know you can trust me.

Niko, come over here! - No sweat. I'm not stupid.

How much for the player? - Let's say about forty.

Come on. Twenty is more like it. - Don't make me laugh.

Twenty-five. - Thirty.

Let's make it twenty-five. - Thirty's as low as I go.

OK. Thirty it is.

Don't you have anything smaller? - Not right now

But hey! That's money, too. Money! Money!

Two, three, four...

There you go! - Were you trying to screw me?

Happy New Year! - Same to you.

You fucking stupid bitch! Are you blind?

You'd let them pay you in toilet paper!

How can you tell? It looks real! - No hologram!

What-gram? - Holo! Hologram! They all have one these days!

How should I know?

These euros all look like funny money to me.

All you do round here is read the tabloids and booze.

Good morning.

Do you have any old coins? - Old coins...

Fucking old coins!

BOOZE

It's been looked after. Barely used.

Just need a bit of cash.

It was an engagement present, just six months old.

Wide-screen, 28".

Five hundred.

A thousand.

It's as good as new, y'know.

Still six payments to go.

Five-ten. - OK. If that's your final offer

These don't keep their value.

Always a newer model.

There's a big note in there.

Money is money.

What shampoo do you use? - Why is that?

Your hair's a bit limp.

It happens I have some state of the art shampoo in the car.

I don't need it. - You could stock it here.

We don't sell shampoo. - Hell of a profit margin.

Buy cheap, sell dear. Fat profits. - No deal.

You've got a new routine. - Yeah.

Why are you still hanging about?

Just thought I'd return the keys. - I'll pass them on.

How about dinner tonight?

Somewhere rich. Your choice. - Why?

Why not?

Where's the money from?

I have a new job.

Good for you.

What restaurant you working in? - Not in a restaurant.

A household appliance store.

TVs and stuff.

Hey, wait. How about a drink? - It's no use.

Or maybe a drive?

Isto, you're a really nice guy.

But it just doesn't work for me any more.

Please. I love you. A couple of drinks...

Can I buy you dolls some hot shots? - No thanks.

Isto pays for everything. Let's go to a hotel.

You're gorgeous, you know that?

Fuck off!

Don't mess with me, asshole! Do I look like I'm broke?

This guy's not with us.

What do you think this is?

What's this? What's this?

It's money!

I'm not a forger.

I sold my TV.

I have a Ford Mercury. American.

A great fucking car.

Let me outta here!

Morning, Virtanen. Another day, another hearing.

You haven't been messing with drugs, have you?

Don't feel like talking?

Can I go home? - That's not up to us.

Drop your pants and spread your legs.

Just relax.

OK. Put your clothes on.

The only sure thing is death!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Jerk! Jerk! Faggot!

Straight through - and no alarm.

Smart ass security systems - complete waste.

When are the police coming? - In the afternoon.

Matikainen! Someone to see you! - Fucking hell!

Sit down.

What do you want?

Looks like business is good.

Is that what you're here to tell me?

I would like to -

to make a new deal, -

if that's OK.

I'll cover the interest with a vacuum cleaner.

That's for you.

Plus a year's supply of hair shampoo.

It's good shampoo. Dandruff...

Do you take me for an utter moron?

I'm temporarily short of cash. - When do you have it?

When the snow melts...
