R Page #2

Synopsis: The R of the title stands for the young protagonist, Rune, fearlessly played by Pilou Asbæk. Imprisoned for violent assault, he's a cocky, good-looking young man placed in the hardcore ward, where his survival depends on quickly learning the prison's parallel world of rules, honor, and obligations. R also stands for Rachid, a young Muslim prisoner who becomes Rune's friend and accomplice, defying the rigid racial stratifications among the inmates.

Do you think, you can figure it out?

- What?

- Yes.

Just hold this.

- Want to taste?

- No.

Will you not taste? Taste a f***ing

grape, when I say it to you.

They're good, right?

Try to open your mouth. Open.

Again. Open the mouth.

Try just once more. Open the mouth.

Again.

Oh, one more time.

Open higher. Higher.

Sune!

- What have you there?

- Try to watch straight here.

It's his lady. F***.

- It's damn not his girlfriend.

- That he says.

- Do you have nude pictures of her?

- No.

Will you buy some?

Oh, how funny. Bricklayer,

look at him. He looks like Rune.

- He has the same hairstyle.

- He damn has.

Is the carpet done properly clean?

Is it cleaned properly?

So clean, that you could put

a baby on it? Lie on it.

Lie like a baby, in foetal position.

It's not foetal position.

On your side and the legs

well up under the breast. Right.

And suck on your thumb.

Stand up.

You are so f***ing miserable.

You know what? I think,

you handle it just fine.

You can get this -

- and the prick-mouth-image

stretchmarks and then the hairy legs.

But this you'll let it be hanging.

Right?

- Isn't it nice?

- Yes.

- Say:
"Bricklayer is nice."

- Bricklayer is nice.

It's just before, I believe in you.

- Rune ...

- Yes?

You need to hear as much

after me as after Bricklayer.

I'm starting soon not

to like you more. Seriously.

- Understand?

- Yes.

So when I say jump, you ask

how high. I mean it.

- I don't want that sh*t anymore.

- Yes.

What then?

Haven't we been in the same convoy?

My name is Rashid.

Rune.

- How long are you going to sit?

- In two years.

- How long do you sit?

- A year or so.

It's not so much. For good

behavior it will probably be less.

Is there someone, who is after you?

There's no one

who are after me, okay?

Relax, man. You take it hard.

There's either any after me.

- Want a cigarette?

- No, I don't smoke.

Healthy and wise, you.

Are you happy for your new job?

- Quiet and calm.

- It's better than dishwashing.

What the hell are you two doing?

Go out and find some friends.

I'll talk to him there.

Listen.

After work, you go in your cell

and stay there for a half an hour.

Not doing anything, Bricklayer.

I want to talk with you.

Stop that bullshit,

and give me a towel.

Give me a clean towel

at hell.

What the hell was it,

that happened yesterday?

- What do you mean?

- Well, what do you think?

Yes, him.

It's totally ridiculous, man.

It's the third time.

- You may find some decent people.

- They are not on the trees.

Not stare at him,

when we two are talking.

You must have a proper talk

with him. Really proper.

- I'll not stare at him again.
