FEMALE VOICE:
I'm really sorry.

Does he wear glasses or contact lenses?

Glasses.

(SNIFFLES)

(HE SIGHS HEAVILY)

(DOG PANTING)

(DOORBELL RINGS, DOG BARKS)

You'll have to hurry up.

WOMAN: He decided that his brown leather
shoes were the best pair to wear.

His back hurt a little
but not like some other times in the past

when the pain was intolerable.

He was thinking his wife
didn't love him at all any more.

He didn't burst into tears and he didn't think
that the first thing people most people do

when they realise someone
doesn't love them anymore is cry.

Sir, do you mind taking a look
into the camera here for me?

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

That'll do. Thank you.

- (DOG YELPS)
- Have you ever been on your own before?

- No, never.
- (TYPING ON KEYBOARD)

Are you allergic to any foods?

No.

Your last relationship
lasted how many years?

Around 12.

Do you remember how long exactly, sir?

11 years and one month.

(TYPING ON KEYBOARD)

- Sexual preference?
- Women.

(TYPING ON KEYBOARD)

However, I had one homosexual
experience in the past,

in college.

Is there a bisexual option available?

No, sir, this option is no longer available
since about last summer,

due to several operational problems.

I'm afraid you have to decide right now
if you want to be registered

as a homosexual or a heterosexual.

I think I should be registered
as a heterosexual.

- Any children, sir?
- No.

And the dog?

My brother. He was here a couple of years
ago but he didn't make it.

- (DOG WHINING)
- You might remember him:

Medium build, 48 years old,
bald patch, blond hair.

- (DOG BARKS)
- I'm afraid not, sir.

OK, I would like you to write your name
clearly on this form in capital letters.

And sign it, please.

That will do. Thank you very much.

OK, so you are not allowed to use
the volleyball or tennis courts.

These are only for the couples.

You can use facilities for individual
sports, such as squash and golf.

You can stay at the hotel for up to 45 days.
You'll be staying in a single room.

If everything goes well and you make it,
you'll be moved to a double room.

I'm afraid you cannot keep
any of your personal belongings.

We will provide everything you need.

As far as garments, accessories
and shoes are concerned.

- You can keep this.
- Thank you.

Shoe size, please?

Forty-four and a half.

Forty-four of forty-five?
There are no half sizes.

Forty-five.

If you need a haircut,
call reception one day ahead.

Smoking is not allowed.

That way you'll be able to run for longer
during the hunt without getting tired

and your breath won't smell when you kiss.

Enjoy your stay.

Excuse me, if we need to get a haircut,

we must call the reception the day before,
is that right?

- That's right.
- Great.

WOMAN: His room number was 101.

A tranquiliser gun was hanging
on the wall above his bed.

On the table were 20 tranquiliser darts,
a black plastic watch,

a pair of sunglasses and a cologne for men.

Inside the wardrobe
were four identical grey trousers,

four identical button-down shirts
in white and blue,

a belt, socks, underwear, a blazer,

a striped tie and a white bathrobe.

He looked out the window.

The unconscious bodies of the captured
loners were lying on the wet ground.

"Thank God they wear those
waterproof ponchos," he thought.

MAID:
Room 195.

Two loners, two extra days.

Room 272.

One loner, one extra day.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hello. I'm the hotel manager
and this gentleman is my partner.

We'd like to welcome you.

You're one of the lucky ones.

You have one of our superior rooms,
which means you have a view.

- Did you read the leaflet?
- Yes, I did.

Very good. Now the fact
that you'll turn into an animal

if you fail to fall in love with someone
during your stay here

is not something that should upset you,
or get you down.

Just think as an animal you'll have
a second chance to find a companion.

But even then, you must be careful.

You need to choose a companion
that is a similar type of animal to you.

A wolf and a penguin
could never live together,

nor could a camel and a hippopotamus.

That would be absurd.

Think about it.

I understand this discussion
is a little unpleasant for you.

But it is my duty to prepare you
psychologically,

for all possible outcomes.

Now, have you thought of what animal
you'd like to be if you end up alone?

- Yes, a lobster.
- Why a lobster?

Because lobsters live
for over 100 years,

are blue-blooded like aristocrats

and stay fertile all their lives.

I also like the sea very much.

I water-ski and swim quite well,
since I was a teenager.

I must congratulate you. The first thing
most people think of is a dog,

which is why the world is full of dogs.

Very few people choose an unusual
animal, which is why they are endangered.

A lobster is an excellent choice.

Could you stand for us, please?

(DOG BARKS)

This is to show you how easy life is
when there are two of something

rather than just one.

We tend to forget that from time to time.

The handcuff will be removed
at the same time tomorrow.

- It's alright, Bob.
- I hope you enjoy your stay with us.

Goodbye.

Have a good day.

ANNOUNCER: Good morning.

Room 101.

44 days left.

Breakfast is served.

(CLINKING OF CUTLERY)

Sit where you like.

WOMAN:
His first day was one he'd never forget.

Near his table at breakfast sat
a young woman with her head tilted back.

Later on he would learn
that she often got nosebleeds.

Next to her sat her best friend.

He thanked the waiter
who served him his coffee,

and thought about his wife for a moment.

A woman who seemed to like
butter biscuits

offered one to a man drinking
a Campari and soda for breakfast.

He then looked behind him
and saw a woman

who he would later find out
was absolutely heartless.

And some others in the couples area,

whom he'd never meet
during his stay at the hotel.

That morning, he was really hungry.

He could have eaten a whole chicken
but ate almost nothing.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I've decided to go for a walk outside
with my new friend.

Let me introduce you. This is Robert.

He stays in the room next to mine
and has a lisp.

Pleased to meet you.
I'm staying in room 101.

I'm on the same floor. I'm 186.

- Would you like to join us?
- Why not?

One of these days, it's gonna be me
on one of those yachts.

What are those yachts?

It's the final ordeal before
letting you go and the hardest one.

15 days of vacation,
just a couple, alone.

- Didn't you read the leaflet?
- I did.

Have you seen John's leg?

No.

John, would you show your leg?

Oh, yeah.

Room 187, day two.

Hello, everyone.

My mother was left on her own
when my father fell in love with a woman

who was better at math than she was.

She had a postgraduate degree, I think,
whereas my mother was only a graduate.

I was 19 at the time.

My mother entered the hotel but didn't
make it and was turned into a wolf.

I really missed her.

I found out she'd been moved to a zoo.

I often went there to see her.

I'd give her raw meat.

I knew that wolves liked raw meat,

but I couldn't figure out
which of the wolves was my mother,

so I used to give a little
bit to each of them.

One day,
I decided to enter the enclosure.

I really missed her and I wanted a hug.

I climbed the fence and jumped in.

All the wolves charged at once
and attacked me,

all but two, who stood motionless.

My guess is that one of those two
must have been my mother.

The zoo guards got to me quite quickly
and took me to the hospital.

Thankfully, I didn't lose my leg,
I just have this limp,

which is also my defining characteristic.

My wife died six days ago.

She was very beautiful
and I loved her very much.

She had a limp too.

Thank you, John.
You can return to your seat now.

Let's move on to our next guest.

Room 104, day two.

Hello, everyone.

This is only my second day here,

but already I feel like a member
of a wonderful group.

My defining characteristic
is that I have a very beautiful smile.

Have you ever danced with anybody?

Sorry?

Have you ever danced with anybody?

Yes.

What sort of dancing did you do?

Just depends on the music.

Do you need to sit down?

- No, no, no, I'm getting ready to dance.
- Ah.

- Of course.

Let me introduce you to my best friend.

That woman you were talking to
has no feelings whatsoever.

She feels nothing at all.

She's the best hunter in the hotel,
silent and very fast.

She's the women's record holder,
192 captives.

I'm sorry, I've got blood on your shirt.

But don't worry, there are many ways to
remove bloodstains from clothing.

One way is to rinse the clothes
with cold water then rub with sea salt.

Another way is to scrub the stains
with cotton wool dipped in ammonia.

The third way is to mix flour and water
into a paste, like toothpaste,

especially if the clothes are delicate
or brightly coloured.

But just never use warm water
on blood, ever.

OK.

(ALARM BLARES)

HOTEL MANAGER:
Leave the building in an orderly fashion.

Do hurry up but please be careful.

Nobody needs to get hurt or injured.

And good luck with the hunt.

I wish I didn't have this limp.

I used to be very good at running
but not any more.

I'm sure I'll be slower than them.

If I were you, I'd think of some tricks
that use the element of surprise

instead of speed.

You're right.

That's what I'll do.

Please take off your trousers
and sit on the bed.

Can we not do this today? It's awful.

I know. But I'm afraid we have to do it.

And you have no idea how much
it helps you psychologically

in your search for a partner.

HOTEL MANAGER:
Man eats with woman.

(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS)

(HE SIGHS WITH RELIEF)

Lie down.

Spread your legs. More.

(BED SPRINGS CREAK)

- Is your room number 186?
- Yes, it is.

I imagine you know that
masturbation is not permitted

in the rooms
or any other area of the hotel.

Yes.

And yet it has brought to my attention
that you continue to do it.

(BED SPRINGS CREAKING)

Today you became erect quicker
than on other days. That's good.

Please, just a little longer.

- Have a good day.
- (DOG BARKS)

That's awful. Just awful.

Were you looking at a photograph
while you were masturbating?

Yes.

What did the photograph show?

A naked woman on a horse in the country.

If I were in your shoes, I would not be
ogling the naked woman but the horse.

I'm sure that the horse was once
a weak and cowardly man just like you.

Woman walks alone.

Help.

Help.

Help.

This is not necessary. Please.

- It was an accident. I got carried away.
- Please.

- This is not necessary.
- Please place your hand in the toaster.

This could be a warning.

- Look, I've been good otherwise, I.
- (PAUSE)

(EXCLAMATION OF PAIN)

(CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

(SCREAMS AND SOBS)

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please.

Please, please, that's hurting.
(SCREAMS AGAIN)

Woman walks with man.

What they do,
as soon as you enter the room,

is to wash your body
and your head really well.

How do you know?

My uncle used to know a waiter
who worked there.

No waiters know about the procedure,

they're not allowed inside that room.

Nevertheless, they peel off the skin,

which has become soft
due to the water and the soap.

Afterwards, they remove the heart,
the eyes and other vital organs of the body

with a laser or scalpels.

Then the procedure changes
according to the animal one has chosen.

That makes total sense.

I mean, I suppose
mammals demand a different kind of work

than fowls, for example.

Exactly.

Afterwards they throw
the remaining body parts

into the casks outside
the hotel's restaurant

and distribute the blood
to the hospitals in the city.

Why is that?

The blood is used for surgeries
where there are no blood donors available.

- New guests arrived yesterday.
- Yes, I saw.

I think I saw a woman with a limp.

It's just a sprained ankle.

She'll be walking normally again
in a few days.

That's a shame.

That is a shame indeed.

(ALARM BLARES)

WOMAN: One night on the coach, he sat next
to the woman who liked butter biscuits.

He gazed out of the window,
not looking at anything in particular,

just trying to avoid talking to her.

- How's Bob?
- He's fine.

I'd give anything to go for a walk
with you and Bob one afternoon.

The dog's not allowed out of the room,
I'm afraid.

"There are some excuses
that no one can argue with," he thought.

Some excuses are without doubt
better than others.

And that was a really good one.

These biscuits are for Bob.

I want you to give them to him

whenever you want to reward him
for something.

- Tell him they're from me.
- Thank you.

Can I come to your room sometime
for a chat?

I could give you a blow-job
or you could just fuck me.

I always swallow after fellatio and I've
got absolutely no problem with anal sex

if that's your thing.

My ex-husband always used to say I had
the most beautiful thighs he'd ever seen.

But let's not talk about him.

My room number is 180,
so my telephone extension's 180.

Hope I can catch some loners tonight.

I haven't caught any the last few nights.

Hope you catch lots too.

Thank you very much.

If I don't find a suitable partner soon,

I'm gonna kill myself
by throwing myself out of one of the rooms.

Out of the window.

I want you to know that.

My room is on the first floor.

WOMAN: "I hope I catch some loners today,"
she said.

"And I hope you catch lots too."

She then told him that if she didn't find
a suitable partner soon,

she was going to kill herself
by jumping from one of the room windows,

320, maybe, or one higher up.

480, that would be even better.

When she stopped talking, he stared at her
blankly, not knowing what to say.

He then looked out at the woods

and thought once more
how good his excuse had been.

Not bad. Bit higher.

Have you thought about what animals
you wanna be if you don't make it?

A lobster.

(GUNSHOT)

I'm gonna be a parrot if I don't make it.

Why don't you become parrots too?

And then we'll all be together.

You're a complete idiot,

picking one of the few animals
that can talk

when you have a speech impediment.

You'll lisp, even as an animal.

As for you, they'll catch you and put you
in a pot of boiling water until you die.

And then they'll crack open your claws
with a tool, like pliers,

and they'll suck out what little
flesh you have with their mouths.

You're pathetic, both of you.

I'm not gonna be turned into some animal.

I'll come and visit you, though,
with my partner,

when we're walking together in some park
or when we're swimming in the sea.

Or when we're on one of our trips.

(CRIES OUT)

Friends.

I'm not afraid.

Room 187, please.

It's no coincidence that the targets are
shaped like single people and not couples.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Your swimsuit is very nice.

- Thank,
- (PAUSE)

- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.

Do you like to swim breaststroke,
front crawl, butterfly or backstroke?

I like all strokes equally.

You know, I love breaststroke.

No, really.
My friends often tease me and say,

"Stop swimming breaststroke all the time."

And then they laugh.

Breaststroke is great.
It's excellent exercise for the back.

When swimming breaststroke,
men shouldn't wear swim shorts,

as it really limits movement
in the buttocks.

- But you knew that, didn't you?
- I think your nose is bleeding.

Really?

Ah, no.

This happens to me all the time.

It's really, really annoying.

I know. I have a nosebleed problem too.

(KNOCK AT THE DOOR)

I saw what you did. It must have hurt.

Is it coming out?

No.

- Yes.
- Can I use a tissue?

Yes.

I'm gonna ask you a question
and I want you to answer me honestly.

What's worse:
To die of cold and hunger in the woods,

to become an animal that will be killed
and eaten by some bigger animal

or to have a nosebleed
from time to time?

To become an animal that will be killed
and eaten by some bigger animal.

- Exactly.
- Mm.

- She doesn't suspect that you're lying?
- No.

I'm very happy
because we have a new couple.

They met just two days ago but they're
very much in love and perfectly suited.

They both have the same problem with
their noses, they bleed quite suddenly.

Tomorrow they'll be transferred
to a double room

with a larger wardrobe
and a larger bathroom.

They will remain in the double room
for two weeks,

and then they'll be transferred to
the yachts for a further two weeks.

We wish you every success and we hope
you will return to the city as a couple.

- I'm very happy.
- Me, too.

Congratulations.

The course of your relationship
will be monitored closely

by our staff and by me personally.

If you encounter any problems,
any tensions, any arguing,

that you cannot resolve yourselves,
you will be assigned children.

That usually helps, a lot.

(WHISTLING AND CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER: Good morning, room 101.

Seven days left.

Breakfast is served.

(SOUNDS OF BIRDSONG AND RUNNING WATER)

You have really nice hair.

I know.

Look.

How do you like mine?

Well, I think you have quite dry hair.

The colour is OK, though.

The most important thing
is that you're not bald.

However, when it comes to men, baldness
is always a possibility you can't avoid.

- Is your father bald?
- No, he isn't.

And even if someday I lose my hair,
there are things I can do to get my hair back.

I can have a hair transplant.

- You can always tell when someone's had a hair transplant.
- I know.

Nice hair is not something you can get.
It's something you're born with.

And the fact that your father isn't bald
shouldn't put you at ease.

Have you decided what
you're going to do on your last day?

I'm still thinking about it.

Morning, ladies.

So today is your last day.

And as is customary, you can choose how
you would like to spend your last night.

What I always say in these situations is,

it would be wise to choose
something you can't do as an animal...

for example,
read a work of classic literature

or sing a song you really like.

It would be silly to choose

for example a walk in the grounds,

or to have sexual intercourse
with another person,

because those are things
you can do as an animal.

But first your best friend has written
something she'd like to read to you,

which is really very touching.

"We always sat together at school."

And whenever I had a problem,
I talked to you about it

because you always gave the best advice.

When we didn't manage to find
dance partners at the school prom,

the fact that we were together at that
difficult moment gave me strength.

I'm sorry that things have come to this.

I'm sure that if you had a few more days,
you would find someone, just like I did,

because you're an admirable person,

and you have very beautiful hair
and very nice breasts.

I was always jealous of your hair,
you know that.

You were, are, and always will be
my best friend and I'll think of you often.

And I'll always wear those silver earrings
you gave me for my birthday.

I'll miss you.

And however many new girlfriends I make in
a few days when I move back into the city,

"I don't think I'll find another as true."

I'd like to watch the film Stand By Me,

with River Phoenix, Kiefer Sutherland
and Richard Dreyfus. Alone.

Excellent choice.

Lovely film.

(MUSICAL PHONE RINGTONE)

ANSWERPHONE:
Please leave a message.

(BLEEP)

BISCUIT WOMAN: Hello.
You're probably in the bathroom,

that's why you can't hear the phone ring.

Nothing like a cold shower in the morning.

Well, I'll call you a little bit later,
after you've finished your shower.

We'll talk later.

Bye.

WOMAN:
One day, as he was playing golf,

he thought that it is
more difficult to pretend

that you do have feelings when you don't

than to pretend you don't have feelings
when you do.

He also thought that he liked her accent,

and he'd always preferred women
with short hair.

So he decided that she was the one.

During the hunt, he would follow her,

and as soon as she shot a loner,
he would say to her,

"I wish we had real guns
instead of these silly tranquiliser ones.

Why don't you kill him
with your bare hands?"

And the moment she puts her hands
around the loner's throat, he would say,

"I hope he dies right away."

(BISCUIT WOMAN WAILS)

(WAILING CONTINUES)

MAN:
Did anyone see what happened?

(WAILING CONTINUES)

What happened?

She jumped from the window of room 180.

There's blood and biscuits everywhere.

I hope she dies right away.

On second thoughts

I hope she suffers quite a bit
before she dies.

I just hope her pathetic screams
can't be heard from my room.

Because I was thinking about having
a lie-down and I need peace and quiet.

I was playing golf and I'm quite tired.

The last thing I need is some woman
dying slowly and loudly.

I can't hear you with all this screaming.

We'll talk some other time
when it's quieter.

(WAILING CONTINUES)

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

DAVID: Do you normally sleep
on the left side of the bed or the right?

- The right. You?
- The left.

DAVID:
Perfect.

Spread your legs.

Should I turn off the light
or would you like to read?

I'd like to read.
Does the light bother you?

No.

I'm not bothered by light or noise.

I'm a deep sleeper.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- This is our new daughter.

Her name's Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, give the nice man a kiss.
He's a friend of mine.

The last thing I want right now
is a kiss from a silly little girl.

(ELIZABETH CRIES OUT IN PAIN AND WAILS)

Come on, move away.

Don't cry, Elizabeth, you should thank me.

Now you'll have a limp
and be more like your father.

(DAVID MOANS)

What was that sound?

Did you say something?

(GRUNTS) No.

Do you mind if we fuck in a position
where I can see your face?

Sure.

Turn the light on please,
so I can see you better.

Good morning.

Morning.

I killed your brother.

I left him to die very slowly.

He may not be dead yet even as we speak.

I was kicking him for ages.

Doesn't matter.

He whined a little,
a strange kind of bark.

Something like this.

(WHINES PLAINTIVELY)

It must have been from the pain.

- You didn't hear anything?
- No.

You really are a deep sleeper.

- Would you like some coffee?
- I'd love some.

As soon as I wash my face
and brush my teeth, though.

I can't wait to hear the story
you promised to tell me last night,

about that student of
yours at the university

and his awful final project.

It's really a very funny story.

His name was Ryess -

R-Y-E-S-S. Ryess.

(SOBS QUIETLY)

These aren't tears, it's just water.
I just washed my face.

I knew you were lying.
I can't understand why you did it,

when you know as well as anyone that a
relationship cannot be built on a lie.

We're going to the hotel manager right now
and you'll get the punishment you deserve.

What's the punishment for this?

They turn you into the animal
no one wants to be.

I saw your partner running back that way.

He looked frantic.

Is everything OK?

WOMAN: At first he wanted to kill her
in some horrible and painful way,

like the death she had inflicted
on his brother.

Take her legs, please.

He thought about kicking her
in the stomach over and over again,

and then stabbing her
in the same spot in the stomach.

But then he thought
there wouldn't be much point,

because she was already unconscious

and wouldn't feel any pain
from the kicks, or the knife.

You have to shoot me
so they won't suspect I helped you.

A hotel maid helped him.

- He couldn't understand why she did it.
- (KEYPAD BEEPS)

So he decided to turn her into an animal.

He dragged her to the room
where the transformations took place.

I asked him many times
what sort of animal he turned her into,

but he always gave me the same answer:

"That's none of your concern."

That night,
he left the hotel once and for all.

He began to run without knowing
where he was headed.

But he was headed towards us.

This was the start of his new life.

And back then, he didn't know
how much it hurts to be alone,

how much it hurts when you cannot reach
to rub pain-relief ointment on your back,

and you are constantly in pain.

I found him in the woods.

He escaped from the hotel.

Are you a doctor, by any chance?

- No.
- That's a pity.

We need a doctor around.

We had one, but they caught him
a couple of months ago.

I'm an architect.

That's OK.

So, welcome.

You can stay with us
for as long as you like.

You can be a loner until the day you die.
There is no time limit.

Thank you very much.

By the way,

any romantic or sexual relations
between loners are not permitted.

And any such acts are punished.

Is that clear?

Can I have a conversation with someone?

Of course you can.

So as long as there is no flirting
or anything like that.

That applies to dance nights as well.

We all dance by ourselves,
that's why we only play electronic music.

What happened to your mouth?

MAN: He can't speak.
He was given the Red Kiss.

What's the Red Kiss?

We slashed his lips with a razor
and the lips of another loner,

and we forced them to kiss each other.

That was a couple of days ago now.

But the cuts were deep and they're still in pain.
They were flirting, you know.

WOMAN: Some punishments
are worse than other punishments.

Having your thumb cut is worse
than having your head shaved.

And having a hot boiled egg
under your armpit

is worse than having your leg kicked.

The punishment I am afraid of
isn't the Red Kiss but another one,

that is called the Red Intercourse.

I have never seen it happen,
but it's not difficult to imagine what it means.

Oh, my God, I am so afraid of it.

LONER LEADER:
(SHOUTED) Move.

Hide.

Move.

Hide.

WOMAN:
That was the first time I saw him.

He was hiding behind a tree close to mine.

He seemed quite presentable.

The next day, in the city,

he found out that I was short-sighted too.

(SOUNDTRACK MASKS DIALOGUE)

That night in my sleep,

I dreamt that we lived in a big house
together in the city,

with a large well-lit kitchen,

and I was wearing dark blue trousers
and a tight cream blouse.

And he took my clothes off
and fucked me up the arse.

And as he was fucking me,
a thug came into the kitchen,

and took the steak knives
from the second draw and attacked us,

stabbing the knives into our bellies
one by one.

I woke up terrified.

(METAL TRAP SNAPS, MAN YELLS)

(MAN CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

Try harder.

Don't give up. You know you should
have been more careful.

Try harder or they'll find you and you'll
be turned into an animal - a weak one.

(LAUGHTER)

We must get a move on now.
It's really too dangerous to stay here.

If you manage to free yourself,
run as fast as you can and come find us.

If you manage to free yourself
but think you'll die from the bleeding,

go straight to your grave.

- (MAN SOBS)
- Have you dug your own grave?

Yes.

Very good.

That's enough for now.

I'm going to go hunting for truffles.

They're delicious and quite rare.
A kilo can fetch a lot of money.

You're going to need a pig.
They're impossible to find otherwise.

- I know.
- Don't be long.

- Gotta get them back in 50 minutes.
- OK.

(TWIG SNAPS)

(CRIES OUT)

(PANTING)

Hello, David.

Hello, Robert.

What you did to that woman was dreadful.

She killed my brother.

I would have done the same thing
if she'd killed you.

You're like a brother to me. Oh,
you're my best friend in the whole world.

I don't think I'm your best friend
in the whole world.

You used to spend much more time
with John.

Oh, who's John?

- John, the Limping Man.
- Oh, yeah.

I didn't even remember his name.

Or his face.

You're the one I think of
whenever I need a friend.

Nevertheless, did John make it?

They're getting ready for the yacht.

It all begins this week.

Everyone says they're gonna make it
as they're perfectly suited

and the child will help them get past
the fighting and arguing.

- That's great.
- You're not thinking about coming back?

You know, if you told the hotel manager
about your brother,

she'd probably forgive you.

No, it's really nice to be on your own.

There's no one tying you down.

You listen to music whenever you like,
you masturbate whenever you want,

go for walks whenever you like,

have a chat whenever you like.

I don't miss companionship at all.

I just miss you,
'cause you were my one true friend.

Are you gonna shoot me?

I'm afraid so.

I only have two days left.

What did you say?
I can't understand the way you speak.

I'm going to shoot you. I only
have two days left, I need more time.

Do you actually believe another day
will make a difference?

Have you seen how ugly you are?

You haven't got a chance.
If I was a woman...

(CRIES OUT IN PAIN)

Don't tell anyone I helped you.

If you want to repay me, there is a way.

If you kill a rabbit,
bring it to me to eat.

Do you promise?

- Yes.
- Bye.

Bye.

WOMAN: You carefully flay the rabbit
with a sharp knife and cut off its head.

You then slice open its belly and stuff it
with well-washed red and green peppers,

not too spicy,
and a little garlic and mint.

You then soak it in lemon juice
and leave it a while to marinate the flesh

before you skewer it on a stick and roast
it over the fire for about an hour.

That's my favourite food,

rabbit.

No dirt under her nails
or mud on her shoes.

9 Belsize Road.

- So your husband is away?
- Yes.

- Where?
- (MUFFLED REPLY)

Good morning, sir. Are you here alone?

Good morning, Officer.

No, I'm here with my partner.

She's inside one of the stores,
shopping right now.

Can I see your certificate, please?

My partner keeps it in her purse.

You see, I am losing it all the time.

I see.

And what store is she shopping in?

Oh, here she is.

I'm sorry, darling.

They had such a huge variety
of pain-relief ointment.

I bought you this one.
I hope it's the one you were looking for.

That's wonderful, dear.

Can I have my certificate, please?

Of course, darling.
Would you like to see mine also, Officer?

No, that's OK.

Thank you, sir.

- You have a good day.
- Thank you, Officer. You have a good day.

- Madam.
- Sir.

If I'm walking too slowly,
just say, and I'll pick up my pace.

This pace is fine.

Maybe don't squeeze my hand so tightly,
my palm's getting a little sweaty.

- Better?
- Yes.

Much better.

Are you planning on buying anything else
nice for yourself while we're here?

Yes, contact lens solution
and a Parker Rollerball.

I didn't know you were short-sighted.

I'm short-sighted too.

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

(IN HEAVY FRENCH ACCENT)
Will you stay a few days?

I'm afraid not, Papa.

We're heading back again today.

Tomorrow I'm going away
on a business trip.

You know how demanding my job is.

Don't ask if I can stay a few days
every time I come.

Do you all work for the same company?

- Yes.
- Yes.

My daughter says me
it's a very fine company.

Do you agree?

- It's a rather good company.
- It is.

- One of the best, I'd say.
- Mm.

The only problem with the job

is that I don't have enough time
for my wife and kids.

We have four beautiful children.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

But even if we'd never had children,

I would never dream of leaving my wife.

Even if it was just the two of us,
on our own,

we'd go on trips.

We'd go to Portofino in Italy
or go to a Greek island for the summer.

And so our relationship
would be as intense as it was at the start.

I love my wife so much.

I could die for her.

That's how much I love her.

For your first day in the city,
you did great.

That part about holiday destinations
in the Mediterranean was brilliant.

Thank you very much.

When did you become short-sighted?

When I was 16.

You?

When I was 12.

What was the make
of your first pair of glasses?

I don't remember.

- Do you have astigmatism too?
- Yes.

Would you like me to rub some balm
on your back

on the bits you can't reach on your own?

I'd like that.

Here?

A little lower, please.

- Here?
- Yes.

A basketball weighs
between 550 and 650 grams.

- Did you know that?
- No, I didn't know that.

Yes.

The weight's different
for men's and women's games,

but that's roughly how much it weighs.

Do you know how much a volleyball weighs?

No, but I'd like to find out.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

I have something to tell you.

His nose doesn't really bleed on its own.

He bangs it against a wall or a piece
of hard wood, or something like that.

Or he cuts it with a penknife
when you're not looking.

You two are not suited.

Shut up. Dad, tell him to leave.
I'm sleepy.

And, and I'm quite sure
that stain on his T-shirt isn't blood,

but cherry juice or tomato ketchup

or red watercolour paint
or something like that.

Or beetroot juice.

Do you love her?

With all my heart.

How much do you love her,
on a scale of 1 to 15?

14.

14 is a very impressive score.

He loves her very much indeed.

Who do you think we should kill?

Who will be able to live
on their own better?

Here's a knife, Mum. Kill him.

You'd better get out while you still can.

OK.

That's all I came to say, anyway.

You.

If this woman dies,
d'you think you'll manage on your own?

Or will you get involved
with someone else?

No.

I can live alone, she can't.

I'm on my own for hours
when she's running the hotel.

I like sitting in the room.

It relaxes me, calms me.

I like it a lot.

I can definitely live on my own.

Shoot her.

(MUFFLED) No.

No, no.

No, God, no.

Where were you?

I was looking for you.

I was masturbating
behind those trees over there.

Why aren't you dancing?

My leg's a little sore.

Did you dig your grave?

Not yet.

I don't mean to pressure you,

or to ruin the mood
now that we're celebrating,

but at some point you'll have to do it.

Don't expect anyone else to dig your grave
for you or to carry your corpse.

We'll throw some dirt over you
but that's about it.

Tomorrow find a spot you like,

where the ground isn't too rocky,
and make a start.

- Enjoy the rest of your evening.
- Thank you.

As soon as his last patient left,
I entered his office and I said to him,

"Honey, the dinner's ready.
However, I'm not sure I can eat right now."

One of my front teeth hurts a lot.

"Can you take a look please, dear?"

"Yes, sure, no problem," he said.

And the minute he turned his head,
I took the drill and I shoved it into his chest.

(SHORT SIGHTED WOMAN LAUGHS)

That story sounds really interesting
but I have to leave.

I just remembered I left some batteries
next to a tree down there.

And the last thing I want is to lose them.
Sorry.

Did you catch rabbits?

- No, someone brought me them.
- Who?

A friend of mine.

- Do you want one?
- No.

You don't need to accept rabbits
from other people.

If you need more rabbits, just ask,
and I'll bring you more.

Catching a rabbit is difficult,
but I'll try to do better.

There's no need for you
to be indebted to the others.

Thank you very much.

The man who brought you the rabbits,

is he short-sighted?

I don't know. I don't think so.

OK.

Is that a sparrow up in that tree?

I can't really see that far.

But I don't think so.

- Are you short-sighted?
- No.

You're lying.

It's the truth.

What does it say here?

YKK.

You knew that already.
All zips say the same thing.

I'm not short-sighted.

I don't understand
why you won't believe me.

I can see really clearly.
I used to be a pilot.

You're wearing contact lenses.

I don't wear contact lenses.
I'm not short-sighted, I swear.

You are.
You think I'm an idiot and can't tell.

Let me see.

Let me see. I want to see your eyes.

Look up.

Look up.

Up, up.

WOMAN: We've developed a code
so that we can communicate with each other,

even in front of the others,
without them knowing what we are saying.

When we turn our heads to the left,
it means,

"I love you more
than anything in the world."

And when we turn our heads to the right,
it means,

"Watch out, we're in danger."

We had to be very careful in the beginning
not to mix up

"I love you more than anything in the world"
with "Watch out, we're in danger."

When we raise our left arm, it means,

"I want to dance in your arms."

When we make a fist and put it
behind our backs, it means,

"Let's fuck."

The code grew and grew as time went by.

And within a few weeks,
we could talk about almost anything

Highly likely the doctor will suspect us.

Right now, in fact.

Don't be afraid.

No one will suspect a thing.
