- Florida.

Markus, come here!

Why are you going?

- To play basketball.

That's my ball bearer and my coach.

Bollocks. I'm the manager.

- Yeah, you look like it.

Could you give us a ride?

- I don't think there's room...,

This is a minivan!

- Not this time,

If you give us a ride, my hair

won't be the only wet thing tonight.

Is that your friend over there?

- Karla!

Take it easy.

- We've been waiting for ages.

It's like the lottery,

we've got no chance. Look at them!

I don't know how to open it.

- The one with the bag is yours.

Could you help us?

- Go and show them,

Hi. Are you Karla?

- Yeah.

I'm Markus.

- Do I know you from somewhere?

Not yet.

- It's open!

Yes,

Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

- Let's go.

I told you! No f***ing chance!

Hey, how about that ride?

It's raining! Come on.

It's my last night.

It's so different.

Streetball is like.,.

It's free.

I reckon it's more like dancing.

Are you really going to the States?

- Yeah.

We could meet up somewhere halfway.

- Where are you going? I've got wine.

We're going to a party.

You have wine, we have beer.

We have to drink them somewhere.

I noticed your jeans are dirty.

You could take them off later,

and we can wash them

on my washboard abs. How about it?

In your dreams.

Go straight until the water tower.

Turn right! There!

- What the f*** is this place?

Where's the party?

- It's wherever we are!

We're here.

Ta-dah!

- I'd leave right now.

Hurry up!

- I want to go to Helsinki.

F***ing hell.

I can help you with those.

- We don't even have to open the cans!

My dad's car is stuck.

It'll come out when the sun

starts to shine and it dries off.

It may be broken!

- No, it's not! It's American.

At least I won't get hammered

with this drizzle,

This is how Markus makes

his first 3-point shot,

Jump! No!

Hey, guys, it's my only ball!

Well, I'll buy a new ball from NYC.

A better one.

You can swim by yourself.

- I can help you undress.

Do you have a bikini?

- No.

When you're old and

nobody wants to kiss you anymore,

you'll remember the lovely boy

from Korso who wanted to kiss,

But you were like: 'I'm a bit busy,

going to Florida and everything.'

The lovely boy from Korso...

- I'm lovely for a guy from Korso.

Hey! What the f*** are you doing?

Your arse was up for grabs! Chill!

Karla, we're leaving.

Do you hear me?

That f***ing shithead is too drunk.

I want to get out of here.

- What happened?

Have a nice exchange!

You're a f***ing hero.

- Well done.

A Finnish man just wants some intimacy

but the b*tch gets upset!

Easy for you to smile!

- 'The lovely boy from Korso.'

I'm so gonna use that next time.
