Lars And The Real Girl

Synopsis: In this comedy, Lars Lindstrom is an awkwardly shy young man in a small northern town who finally brings home the girl of his dreams to his brother and sister-in-law's home. The only problem is that she's not real - she's a sex doll Lars ordered off the Internet. But sex is not what Lars has in mind, but rather a deep, meaningful relationship. His sister-in-law is worried for him, his brother thinks he's nuts, but eventually the entire town goes along with his delusion in support of this sweet natured boy that they've always loved.

I'm inviting you to breakfast.

I can't, I have to go to the church.

Well, after the church then?

C'mon, we haven't seen

you for so long.

Take this, I don't want

your little baby to get sick.

It's so cold out.

- C'mon.

- OK.

You'll come?

Oh yeah.

Great.

- Could you put that whole thing on...?

- Oh yeah.

- You owe me 5 dollars.

- Oh oh...

Until I sit at the table,

I don't owe you anything.

Something is going on with him.

I am worried.

You keep saying that, I think you're...

I think the other things may be kicking in.

In all the world...

there are books and books and books of Lords.

But in all this world there

really is only one Lord.

We need never ask:

'Lord, what should I do'?

Because the Lord has told us

what to do.

Love one another.

That my friends, is the one true Lord.

Love is God in action.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

The love of God...

The fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be with you for now and for evermore.

Amen.

- This is when you want some help.

- Oh, thank you, dear.

It's my turn to drop them off at the hospital.

You know... you're a good looking fellow, Lars.

Where's your girlfriend?

I don't have one.

- Are you gay?

- No.

My grandson is gay,

I know all about the gays.

I know, but I am not gay, so...

Well... don't leave it too long,

it's not good for you.

Here.

Give this to somebody nice, for a start.

Hello, Lars.

- I guess I'll see you at work tomorrow.

- Yeah, okay, fine.

Karin, remember, he is 27 years old.

Maybe he wants to be left alone.

- That's not what he wants.

- Oh, really?

- How do you know that, exactly?

- Because...

that's not how people are.

Ah, there he goes.

Lars, c'mon, you promised.

- Is that normal?

- Five dollars.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Cindy.

Did you have a nice weekend?

That new girl is kinda cute, huh?

You and Margo? What do you think?

Lars, you gotta see this.

I am not in the mood for porn this morning.

It's not porn.

Okay... it is, but check it out, alright?

You like?

Man it's solid. Like if she'd weigh 125 pounds,

then she weighs 125 pounds.

You can customize everything,

they got all different heads and parts.

You can design your own woman.

- And Lars, Lars.

- Yeah.

They're anatomically correct.

Not gonna buy one, aren't ya?

I wish...

Look how much they cost.

Wiped out for a new Xbox.

Morning.

- Morning.

- Oh hey, yeah, good morning.

Margo is here, everybody. Hooray.

Could you put the...?

Yeah, I was thinking. We're the only ones

from the lake, we could car-pool.

Lars, it's your day for coffee, buddy.

Oh yeah.

You know what your problem is, Margo?

You're just too aggressive.

Just... chill-lax, ya know.

Shut up.

Wait, stop. Stop!

Karin, what? What?

We want you to come for dinner.

Will you come?

- You scared me.

- Sorry.

Sweetheart, sorry.

Wait.

- I can't... I can't.

- Why not? No.

Why not?

Lars, we miss you.

I brought my work home,

so I have to... I'll get in trouble.

No, you didn't.

Yeah? Did you hear that?

That's my phone, I think.

Come on, wait.

Lars, stop. Stop!

- Come on, please?

- I... I have other plans...

and I can't.

There is salmon, and cherry pie in there.

- Would you please let me go?

- No.

Okay.

- Is that all you can eat?

- Yeah, that was delicious. Thank you.

No no, you stay there.

It's my turn.

You boys talk.

Okay. Karin's been worried about you.

She thinks you got a problem...

because you spend so much time by yourself.

- I'm fine.

- That's what I told her.

It's exactly what I said.

Dad was kinda like that too, so...

Yeah, but he didn't want anyone around him.

So that's a difference.

That's not true.

Okay, you know, yeah sure,

maybe after Mom died, but...

You didn't know them before that, so...

I mean nothing you could have.

I'm just saying...

Karin and I would really like it

if you moved in.

- No, that's okay, thank you.

- The house is half yours.

Yeah, I know. But I'm fine, thanks.

Just putting that there.

- Good night. Sleep tight.

- Good night.

Oh wait. Here are some leftovers for you.

Do you have my blanket?

- Oh yeah, it's on...

- I'll get, I'll get it. Grab these.

Be right back.

It's a beautiful blanket.

- Gus says your mother made it for you.

- Yeah.

When she was pregnant.

Well she must've loved you very much,

like we do.

- Are you mad at me?

- Is he coming?

Here we go.

- Good night.

- Thanks. Good night.

What?

We talked. He's fine.

Six weeks later...

- Hello?

- Hey, Lars. Karin.

They just delivered a huge box for you.

It's in the garage.

- Oh... Okay, thanks.

- Okay, bye.

Thanks.

That's a nice sweater.

Hey.

Come on in.

That's okay. Can Karin

come to the door?

- Karin.

- Yeah?

Honey, come here, it's Lars.

- Oh... Really?

- Yup.

She is just... doing that several kinda...

It's pregnant women's yoga.

That's good good stuff.

- Hey.

- Hi.

What's up?

I have a visitor.

You have a...?

- Yeah.

- A visitor?

That... it's great.

Yeah.

- And she's not from here.

- She?

Wow. What do you... what do you..

what do you know... did... where...?

Where did you meet this person?

- On the Internet.

- Yeah, everybody's doing that now.

That's great.

She doesn't speak much English though.

It's okay. It's the same...

It's really the same with the guys at work.

It's... not that big a deal.

Okay.

Yeah, well, ya know, she is in a wheelchair,

so I just don't want you to feel weird about it.
