01x06 - The Family Dinner

[bunniefuu]

What if your mum doesn't like
cheap tulips from ICA?

She will like you.

-Are you nervous?
-Me? No...

I don't get nervous.

-Are you nervous?
-No.

I'm great at mother-in-laws.

Has she liked
your previous boyfriends?

I never introduced her
to a guy before.

Haven't you?

At that pizza place, Donna and I
got drunk for the first time,

when we were 14 or 15.

Drank the old men's leftover beer
and raised hell.

Do we have time to go in
and honour your exploits?

-You are nervous.
-No.

Maybe a little.

Of course we can.
It's the best f*cking bar.

TWO SISTERS

You've reached Vanessa Berg,
I can't take your call right now...

-What are you doing?
-I can't hear the phone.

You'll see her in five minutes,
what's so urgent?

I want to talk to my sister.
If that's okay with you?

I hate this f*cking song.

If you're gonna sulk,
we might as well go home.

You sound like a parent.

Well, maybe we should stop
for an ice cream.

To make you smile.

We're here! Hi.

-Hello.
-Well, Martin.

-Flowers?
-They're beautiful. You're a darling.

Okay. There you are.

-Um... this is...
-Wait, I know.

Um... let's see.

-Martin.
-Right, Martin. Hi.

-You know that you never met him?
-Indeed.

-Welcome.
-Thanks.

I'll put the flowers in water.

So you're doing the au naturel thing?

Is it my fault
that everyone's on time?

-Is Alicia already here?
-Yes, the Little Princess is here.

-Nice to meet you.
-Yes.

-Put on a little shirt...
-Do you think?

-Should they really be that limp?
-Yes.

My god, we're showered with flowers.

What a party!

I got these from Alicia and Philip.
Aren't they pretty?

So pretty.

-What are you doing?
-Replacing the glasses.

-What wrong with the old glasses?
-Wine tastes better in thin glasses.

Oh. Is it the crystal glasses?

She doesn't like to wash them up.

I said I would do it,
so it's taken care of.

How about that!

-I need to talk to you.
-Look, have you seen those two?

What do you mean,
"Don't get close"?

-Can we talk in private?
-Let's do that later.

-Look at the colours, Vanessa.
-Yeah. Charming.

-So... How are things going?
-With?

-Did she accept the dinner?
-No, not yet.

But I hope so.

You should count yourself lucky
for even being here.

My, oh my. There...

Let's see...

-What's dad doing here?
-It's a family dinner.

Since when is he
a part of the family?

-Alicia, it's your dad.
-Okay.

-Yeah.
-Are you're sorry that you left him?

No, I wish I left him much sooner,
you know that.

Yes. I know that.

-What are you doing, it's so weird.
-What's with you today?

Whatever.

Can I have a word?

I'm not planning on investing
in stocks, sorry.

I need advice, actually.
It's about Alicia.

Ah, surprise.

She's been a little blue
for a while, and...

I want to do something nice for her.

Buy something expensive,
that'll cheer her up.

I think she misses you.

-Vanessa, I know you don't like me.
-As if you love me.

Fair enough. But we could try
to get along for Alicia's sake.

Would you like some?
Forward it.

-Tack.
-Philip?

Thank you.

-There you go.
-There.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

-Have some sauce.
-I don't want any.

-Philip?
-Yes, here you are.

-Mm.
-Let's get this party started.

Daddy's here.

-Do you have pants on?
-Yes, didn't we agree on that?

It's so nice to have you all here.

-It's so nice to be here, Susanne.
-Indeed.

Very nice.

So, Martin...
What kind of job do you have?

-I'm a musician.
-Oh.

And... a music producer, really.

-On what? Guitar?
-No, mostly electronic.

-Does that pay the rent?
-There's a dad here already.

-Vanessa.
-Just kidding.

How are you today?

-Fine.
-No fuss at the table, please.

Just asking how she was.

Just leave her alone.

Listen to your mum.

The Little Princess in an introvert,
you've always been different.

You're like me, a fighter. Okay?

I'm like you.
I'm also an introvert.

-I'm not like you at all.
-God, what's your problem?

Martin, why don't you tell us
about how you met?

You were playing a game, right?
Some kind of bet.

A little metrosexual, aren't you?

-What are you saying?
-Was that funny?

-Yes!
-I am too.

Artists, poets, musicians,
we're not afraid of love!

-You know that. Cheers.
-Hey...

-You're so fine.
-Maybe I should...

-Phille?
-Cheers.

Martin, what happened next?

Well, Vanessa walked up to me
in a bar, and...

forced me to buy her a beer.

You said you'd send the money
but didn't.

Yes I did!

-I got you.
-Aww...

Excuse me, I need to say something.

I saw Martin with another girl
this weekend.

-Weren't you with Vanessa?
-Shh!

Alicia, you must be mistaken.
That's not right.

I'm not mistaken!
Tell the truth instead.

Maybe you're thinking of
my dinner with a friend.

We were meeting you...

So you make out
with all your friends?

Shut up now!

-Why are you defending him?
-Shut the f*ck up!

-What's wrong with you?
-It's the truth.

He had another girl.

Can you just calm down?
What's this? I don't get it.

Cheers.

-Cheers.
-Cheers, my dove.

I just find it a little...

funny, Alicia, that you...

Maybe you should take a look
at yourself,

your boyfriend isn't even there

when you're having
a f*cking ab*rtion!

-Susanne?
-Yes.

Thanks for this dinner.

It was great. I have to get going.

Thanks for the lovely flowers.

I thought she had... told him.

How the f*ck could I know that she...

Philip, can you wait?

Hello?

You'll have to take the train
to Stockholm.

So you're just leaving me?

Should we sleep at my place?

I'm going to work really early,
so I'd better sleep at home.
