It won't accept this one either.

- The machine is broken!

Estonian cans have no deposit.

What do you mean?

- No deposit!

I dragged these cans here,

and you won't pay?

Life sucks sometimes.

- What did you say? F***ing hipster!

Come over here and say that again!

- Let it go.

Fivers each...

- What?

Is this it?

- Some change, too. A couple of euros.

I don't believe this sh*t.

That's f***ing Korso for you.

No use even trying.

Is Murikka around?

Murikka, do you have a minute?

- No.

Don't you get it?

It's important.

- Piss off!

I wasn't talking to you.

- What did you say?

Artsi, go and buy Ruusu a pint.

What do you want, ball boy?

I need work.

What can you do?

I could carry...

Turn off that f***ing music!

I could carry something...

...or shovel...

- Shovel,

Or clean, or anything.

How much were you thinking of?

Agrand.

You've got balls.

What do you want me to do?

We'll figure it out.

But hey, this was great.

Great.

Are you f***ing crazy? From Murikka?

- Where else?

It's no payday loan.

He'll kill you if you don't pay back.

I'll pay him. And it's not urgent.

- Are you really a match for them in

New York? - I just have to practice.

They're not all doing pirouettes.

Take the bounce dunk, for example.

You just have to practice

step-by-step. First three strides,

ball to the floor, jump,

and then you just dunk.

'You just dunk? '

- Mttnen on the left!

Hult, you know you can't eat here.

Ordoes Hult the Hooligan

miss the school?

Who cares about your classes, wanker.

- Right!

What are you gonna do?

Your countdown has begun, too.

- I may become marginalised!

Looks that way.

- Let's get out of here.

Next time I'll call the police.

Where are you off to?

Where is he going?

Hey, Jojo!

Stay away from my sister.

- Look, it's the basketball star!

I'm so scared.

- Did you hear me?

Didn't you find anyone to beat up?

What? The King of Korso.

This is how long I'll rot in here.

Now we're gonna buy some shoes.

- Hey, look at that bloke.

Piss-arse drunk

in the middle of the day.

The rich are morons,

just like the rest.

You look like a pro!

- Those cougars are checking you out.

I have the best arse in NYC.

- Markus, I want these.

They're cool as f***.

Do they fit?

- These feel really good.

He's going to NYC to play.

I'll leave these on,

And we'll take the shades as well.

- That's right.

Hey, wanna come to my farewell party?

It'd be nice,

but my boyfriend wouldn't like it.

You're breaking my heart!

That was really good.

I'll fix us a ride.

Hi, what's up?

- Not much.

What's the occasion?

- A mate is going on exchange.

Really? Where?

- The States.

I'm going as well. Where?
