From an evolutionary standpoint, homosexuality is a genetic dead end.

I...

Have told Sonja about you.

We've decided to take a break.

There were people, over the years, who have chosen to withstand harassment.

People who have been beaten and killed.

And that's not because they really want to be different.

But because they would rather die, than to pretend to be someone they're not.

(Hi. It was nice seeing you as well. I don't know, but things might have

gone a little too quickly... I know it's my fault, but I need time, sorry.)

You know that thing about me being a little weird lately...?

It's because of a person I like.

It's not a girl.

What's his name?

Even.

Like, he's got to break up with his girlfriend.

That's Alex.

Wow. He's got a guitar and stuff.

Can you swipe right, don't click on the...

He looks cool, though.

The point is that you can pick for yourself, when you get Tinder

You can log on, uh...

Excuse me...?

Meet a lot of nice people

And do what you want with them.

I'm not getting Tinder. No.

Why not?

Why not? Isn't that quite obvious?

When I've kind of got a guy already.

Yeah, but he lives in London, Noora.

Now you're just being mean.

No, I just mean that...

You're the kind of person who always does the right thing...

Who always has to be so good.

Can't you just jump into it?

You know...

No.

Do like this, "wuh".

Wuh, yeah. Exactly.

Now I feel like you're on the...

Yes, ok...

Noora!

Bye, Eskild!

Love you!

Difficult! Jesus Christ.

Everyone knows that William isn't going to come.

Jesus...

Eskild?

Can I ask you a question?

Isak, seriously! Now...

Yes, I accept your apology.

It's okay. I mean...

For the last time, I'm not mad at you.

Okay? I...

I understand why you said what you said, and now

I'm done with it.

So now you don't have to

Walk around here like a...

You're driving me crazy!

That's not it. I seriously need an advice...

From me?

Okay, you want an advice from 'moi'?

Yes.

You want that?

Because...

You trust me?

And look up to me?

Yes.

Because I'm your guru?

Sure.

Say it. Say that 'Eskild is my guru.'

Fuck this.

Say it! 'Eskild...'

No. No, just forget about it.

Fine, fine, fine. Fine, Isak. Okay.

What...

What is it you're wondering?

You...

You know that guy, Even?

Yup. What about him?

Nah, we had a thing, you know...

And he said that he would break up with his girlfriend.

And then suddenly

He says that things happened too fast

And...

Then he's back together with his girlfriend.

And then...

And then a while after that he gives me this drawing.

And I'm thinking, "Okay, cool," and I send

him a message thanking him for the drawing.

But then he doesn't answer...

But he has a girlfriend?

Yeah.

Okay. For how long have they been together?

For about four years.

Okay?

That's not good, or?

I mean, yeah. Or, I don't know, how...

How honest would you like me to be?

Not too honest, maybe.

No, you know what, fuck it. Just say it like it is.

Yeah, I mean. I...

I mean, I know a lot of...

Guys in heterosexual relationships

Who sleep with guys.

That's pretty normal, but...

Not a lot of guys leave their girlfriends to be together...

I think... Or, I mean...

It's...

Or they might, I mean it's just my advice. That's just my opinion.

My... My guru-advising.

Kinda. And I'm not Buddha.

Or...

I'm not God. Kinda, or...

So...

Was that helpful?

Okay, Sana.

What is excretion? Task fifteen.

A, excretion of nitrogenous waste.

B, excretion of carbon dioxide.

C, excretion of excess matters in the body, or...

D, excretion of wastes. Yes, it's that one!

I read it last week.

What, D?

No, no, no. It's A.

A?

No!

It's A?

Where did you get D from?

Nitrogenous waste? We haven't read about that.

Nitrogenous waste...

Well, we definitely haven't read about excretion of waste from their organs.

That doesn't even make sense.

What do you mean, it doesn't make sense? This is what we've covered in class.

Organs don't excrete waste?

Why not?

Anyway, it's not A. That has nothing to do with anything.

Nitrogen?

Don't joke around with me right now. It's A.

Jesus Christ. Why are we having this discussion?

Just... Just trust me, Sana.

I trust myself, and it's A.

Like, this is my subject. I know what I'm doing.

It's my subject as well.

Can you just circle A? It is A!

Let's just Google it.

I'm not being bothered by your stubbornness.

If you're so insecure that you have to Google it, go ahead.

But I know that I'm right, and I know that it's A.

I'm not insecure, I know that I'm right as well.

But I'm not going to answer A on it.

So... Yeah. What are we going to do?

Hello?

Excuse me?

Yes, Sana?

What do we do if we can't agree on an answer?

Then you'll circle both alternatives.

And then write your names next to the one you think is the correct one.

Easy.

D, Isak.

A, what's your name again?

What's the next question?

How does...

The transportation take place in animals...

Without a circulatory system?

Can all duos please write their names at the top of their paper?

I'll do it.

(I hope you don't find this question to be rude, but is it true that you're gay?)

(It was just somebody saying that you and that Even guy from third year had a thing?)

(Someone in first year who'd heard it from Emma who knows his girlfriend.)

Where IKEA get all of the names for their furniture from.

If they, like, just go to a Swedish name registry and take some from there?

Hi, Isak.

Who is she?

I don't know.

Hey, what's up?

'Sup?

What's this?

I think that guy's found his song.

I have. Fuck, it's so nice.

Ey, what's up?

Nah, not much.

Isak said he'll be hosting a pre-drink on Friday.

I am with you, man. I'm in!

You'll join, right?

Yeah. Yeah, of course we're in.

I'm not going to get violent again.

Okay, that's chill.

Oh! Did you hear the rumor that you guys fought at Emma's party because Isak is gay?

What? No?

Yup. It's hilarious! Haven't you heard?

What did you say we fought about?

That he's gay.

Yeah, why would we fight about that?

You were a Muslim. I don't fucking know.

I'm not even a Muslim?

I know, it's fucking hilarious!

Is it hilarious that the entire school thinks I'm a homophobe?

Homophobe?

Homophobe.
