- He's away.

- Aren't there any other guys around?

- There's Ola.

What's the matter with you?

This is how I'm going to do it.

Oh my God... you can'tjust lip-synch.

Work it, show some charisma.

- Buy some glittery make-up.

- I don't have any money.

Hello, would you like

to buy some lottery tickets?

- A lottery? Sure, come on in.

- Thanks.

Whip out your wallets, boys.

It's a lottery.

Isn't this a nice surprise?

- How much are they?

- One krona a piece.

That's reasonable.

- Let's see what we've got.

- Number 18.

Sorry, you drew a blank.

- 32.

- No prize.

- 24.

- No prize.

- I have a winner: 16.

- Sorry.

Not a single prize. That's too bad.

You know what, I'll buy the whole lot.

How much?

- 48 kronor.

- You'll have to take it all.

- 8.

- Sorry.

- 33.

- Sorry.

- 27.

- Another blank.

- 44.

- Another blank.

The last ticket, 3.

No prize.

Aren't there any prizes at all?

Yes...

I can't see any.

They're at home.

All right... Give each

and every one of us a kiss,

and we'll forget

all about this trickery.

It's not too much to ask for,

when you swindled us like that.

Fraud, that's what it is.

Financial crime...

...if you've ever heard of that.

Come on.

You do it.

- Well?

- Go on!

That's what happens...

There... That's that.

You can't blame anyone else.

I mean, it was your idea.

Man, I have the worst blisters!

It's not like jumping

into water, you know...

You don't go deeper than you can see.

It's fun!

- Do you see any?

- No...

There!

Yes... I caught one. A frog.

- Is it in the bucket?

- Yeah.

Now don't fall...

- Where's your aunt?

- Out shopping.

Some food...

Hi.

- What's he doing here?

- Nothing.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Doesn't look like that.

How far do we have to go anyway?

Gisela, is that Teddy guy

your boyfriend?

I see him at parties and stuff.

We're not exactly married.

- We had sex last Saturday.

- What?

He told me I was good,

but not that deep.

- Deep?

- When you get a boyfriend, you'll know.

- Like you have a boyfriend!

- I do, too...

We're keeping it a secret, that's all.

But he's really good-looking.

- Aren't you too little?

- I'm not little.

I'm young.

This is it.

Being young is more passionate.

Do you know what passionate means?

I'm not sure, but it's like love.

- Right, but not ordinary love.

- What do you mean, ordinary?

Ordinary boring love.

Like parents have.

I read that you can love somebody

because you're used to them.

I'm not used to Christer Sandelin,

but I sure love him anyway!

Do you think you'd feel

the same way if you actually met him?

Ever dry-humped a girl, Ola?

Who would you like to do it with?
