Harmonica - First Season

Who wants champagne?

It can be useful to vocalise your thoughts.

Sorry, I know. I'll give it a go.

Come on, try.

If you look at your marriage in the same way as the lyrics to your music,

then how would you describe your relationship?

- Are you serious? - Can I just say...

What the...? Now he's doing that thing again.

- You're doing that thing again. - What?

It's disrespectful. Stop sneering at me.

- No, I didn't. - What were you doing then?

I was looking at the ceiling. Is that allowed?

No, not when I'm making an effort here.

I don't want to go on a nostalgia tour.

- But please, just be quiet. - Okay.

Okay...

- Our manager... - Monica's brother.

And your friend.

- He's trying to help us. - When did he start helping people?

In just a few gigs we can make a lot of money.

Which we don't need.

I'll just have to work a bit harder. You've got your art.

Stop it, Harry. I'm not an artist.

- Yes, you are. - Stop it.

I haven't sold a single work since I started painting.

- But you have. - Oh, but that was just so...

Do you know what he's done? He bought one of my pictures.

I mean, who does that? Buys something on the sly from his wife?

Who he shares his finances with.

So he's actually bought a picture from himself for 22000.

- It's just so sick. - I really liked it.

One by one metre of black paint on canvas. "Darkness", it's called.

- I love it. - Stop it.

I love the darkness.

You do not love the darkness. You don't.

I really don't know if I can do this.

What do you mean "this"?

Yes, I don't know what "this" is. It certainly is no life.

- No? - It would be good for us to get out

- because we don't live. - Don't we?

We don't see one another, don't touch or sleep with one another.

- We do. - Don't touch me.

- You're not listening. - You see that I'm trying?

You're not listening to me.

What's this about? Do you want to be a star again?

I just want us to have a life, the way we used to.

- It won't be like before. - But something new, then.

I you want something new, why go back to the old stuff?

Especially if the old stuff wasn't what you needed.

Making money is no bad idea.

- Now she's not listening. - So that we can go out for a meal.

Go on holiday, or buy a cottage where we can work in the garden.

I can't face sitting in the dark with debts up to here.

And all of that you're going to get for one million?

- Half of it goes in taxes. - Okay.

Going on that tour is not going to make us financially independent.

No, but it could be a fresh start.

- Well... - Might have some fun along the way.

We might try to find our way back to one another. Laugh. I don't know.

But you might not be interested, since you'll do anything to avoid me.

- What the hell are you saying? - He'd rather be a rabbit's voice.

- Fuck, it was your idea. - It's just sick.

Me doing dubbing was your idea.

It was her idea and a bloody good one at that.

I've just got a fat contract as Bugs Bunny

for the next four years.

- I want to save our relationship. - What else can you ask for?

- What's wrong with that? - It won't happen

just because we dust off our old Harmonica outfits.

Harmonica doesn't exist anymore.

Harmonica is a dream. Bugs Bunny is real.

Did you hear that? Can you hear yourself?

I can't cope with a tour like that.

No, okay.

And I can't cope with a life like this.

Either we go on this tour, or we get divorced.

- Is that a threat? - No, this is what's going to happen.

- Is she allowed to speak like that? - Please...

Either we do something with our lives,

or we stay at home and get a divorce.

That's what will happen.

It can be good to break old patterns.

- But you both have to... - Fuck it, let's go!

It'll be bloody awesome.

Who the hell wants to watch two 45-year-olds play rubbish music?

It wasn't even good in 2001.

15 concerts in Europe, so actually quite a few.

Money talks, right?

Sometimes people just have to make money.

When we were at our peak, we were influencing society.

- Yeah... - Politics.

You could have done the same. Could have followed in my footsteps.

Well, I'm kind of pleased I didn't.

I gave you Woody Guthrie's guitar, which his second wife gave to me.

Or was it his third wife? I don't remember.

I was given Woody Guthrie's guitar.

Yeah.

I gave it to you, 'cause I could see that you had it in you.

Sure.

But then you grew up and lost everything.

It's not the money, but art, that makes us feel something inside.

- Mm. - And brings us together.

That quasi-philosophy stuff won't pay the rent.

Who the hell wants to live in a house if you're miserable?

Take the rubbish out at least once a week, otherwise it smells.

Material things.

Material things?

Exactly.

Great. Fine.

I'll be back in about six weeks.

Just don't hit the bottle.

And you.

You can't relive something that didn't make you happy 15 years ago.

We'll see.

You're broken. Go look somewhere else.

A trip down memory lane won't make you happy.

See you.

The soul. It's a fragile bird.

Prog talk.

I think it's completely the right decision.

It's time to look ahead.

Thanks. That's exactly what I've been telling him.

I mean it's like...

I don't want to force him to do this.

Now it's as if he hates me.

Which is so stupid, 'cause the only thing I want is for him to love me.

I want him to be that person I fell in love with.

You've lived half of your life.

The first half was glitter, glamour... Red carpet.

You were so popular. You were so loved up.

- We're still in love. - No, you're not.

You're stuck in your misery.

It's time you reclaimed your lives and had some fun.

I'm not saying you should be like Tomas,

but I can envy his way of looking at this.

And what is his viewpoint?

- As a bit of fun. - He's doing it for the money.

And a bit of rock'n'roll. What the hell? I want to see him happy.

And when he's on the road he's happy.

He's harmonious.

Next time you open a gallery for a year and then close it -

call someone else.

- You see? He needs cheering up. - Mm.

It won't necessarily be like before.

That's my sister.

I've changed your fucking diapers.

Who's birthday is it?

Did you call this a tour bus?

I think it's terrific, I'm really pleased.

It's got a few miles on the clock, but I got it cheap.

- I can imagine. - A penny saved...

What do we do about Tobbe and Lisa?

We'll meet them in Copenhagen. And Hawk as well.

- It's all... - Are they still talking?

Tobbe never got over the fact that she left him.

No, they're pros. They're so up for it.

- Last time I spoke to Lisa... - Look! We're on the road again.

- Arenas, fans, rock'n'roll. - She broke him.

So where are we sleeping?

You'll have the master bedroom, of course and I'll have the couch.

This?

- How will you fit on there? - You just press a button.

What, and you magically shrink?

No, the bed folds down.

No, you just say the magic word.

It's been a long time since I saw you write something.

I haven't written anything in a while.

What's it about?

Loneliness, I think.

Do you feel lonely?

Sometimes.

- I'm sorry I've been so... - No, don't be.

It's okay.

- It just makes it stronger. - Yes.

Can I read it?

Yes, you can.

"I wake up in the morning Everything is old."

No, it's supposed to say "cold".

Everything is...

"Everything is actually old."

Yes, but that's not what this song is about.

This might sound better.

- Do you think that might work? - Nice.

What do you think?

"This misty morning..." Shit, that's nice.

And what about this?

- So beautiful. - Whistling could work.

Guys, aren't you getting hungry?

Don't you think we should stop for a bite to eat?

Hey?

What do you say?

What's this new song?

- Isn't it nice? - Yeah, it is.

Just a little bit depressing.

We're meant to make people happy, not play some suicide bossa nova.

It's not that depressing, it's about love.

Yes, but who listens to the lyrics?

"Sense of your skin", that's just so nice.

- A vibraphone would be great. - Yes, maybe.

Don't you think? A vibraphone and some whistling?
