Funny Games Page #2

Synopsis: Two seemingly well-educated young men, who call each other Paul and Peter among other names, approach a family on vacation. They are, apparently, friends of the neighbors, and, at the beginning, their true intentions are not known, but soon, the family is imprisoned and tortured in its own house violently, which the viewers are forced mostly to imagine and to share a certain complicity with the criminals. It might be some kind of game with the lives of husband, wife, son, and dog, but why are they doing it?

There's a hole in the fence,

by the water, not in the water.

Fred knows -

I mean, Mr. Berlinger knows it.

He showed me it.

I see. Okay.

So, wrapped, or is this okay?

No, no, that's fine, no problem.

- Many thanks.

- You're welcome.

Love to Eva.

Look forward to the golf tomorrow!

I'll tell her. Thanks again.

And thanks again to Fred

and your friend -

- Damn it!

- What's up?

It's not a disaster.

Hang on.

Thank God, we just arrived...

and I must shop

in the village on Monday.

I'm really embarrassed.

It's nothing. No one here eats eggs

for breakfast anyway,

so it's not a major problem.

That's a relief, thank you.

I should just have been more careful.

- I put my left hand -

- Well, no point in crying over spilt milk.

You're really kind.

One does one's best.

I'm really sorry.

I'm very clumsy, you know.

I think I've got two left hands.

So you're ideal for carrying eggs.

Yes, you could say.

Well...

And what are we going to do now?

We do have steak,

but we might be getting visitors,

and they're bound to want eggs

for breakfast.

But you'll have four left.

After all, I did see

you had a box of twelve, right?

You're right.

Shouldn't I wrap them up?

No need.

Are you sure?

If you want to.

If I want to?

Well, maybe it is better after all.

- Oh, no!

- What's the matter?

Oh, no!

I'm sorry.

Before you destroy the rest of the kitchen,

maybe you should take your eggs and leave.

Well...

Here you are.

Won't you wrap them?

I'm really sorry.

Honestly.

Me too.

There.

- Here you are.

- Many thanks. Thank you.

I'll tell Mrs. Berlinger how nice you were.

Okay. Do as you see fit.

- Bye.

- Good-bye.

Excuse me?

Stop it! Rolfi!

Excuse me!

Off you go!

Get lost!

I mean now!

I'm sorry. He's completely harmless.

- He just wants to have a game.

- Funny game.

Did he hurt you?

Peter's just afraid of dogs.

- I'm sorry.

- Me too.

He jumped up on me.

I'm sorry about that.

Well.

Shall I lock him in so you can leave?

- No need.

- I can tell my husband to -

There's really no need, thanks.

It's my fault.

I quite forgot the dog.

Otherwise, I'd have come to fetch the...

Oh! What a wonderful kit!

Gallaway, isn't it?

It's fantastic.

May I?

We hardly stand a chance for tomorrow!

Good clubs don't make good golfers.

That's true, yes.

Would it be cheeky of me

to ask if I can try it just once?

Right now, outside?

Please! Okay?

From the lawn out to the lake, okay?

- If it makes you happy. I -

- Thanks.

Excuse me.

He loves golf!

- We both do.

- Sorry?

Both of us. We both love golf.

Rolfi!

Stop it!

Rolfi!

Be quiet now!

What's up?

I don't know,

probably it's too hot for him too.

I'll go and see.
