- I didn't say that.

But now everybody will see me,

not the trade mark I wear.

What a guy!

Enough!

So you think that

some Olympic Champions

or Chino Moreno

are also meaningless persons?

They get paid

for wearing trademark items.

But you pay for these items.

Joosep, you have another

rooster on your hoodie.

Enough!

Alright, enough of that!

Joosep, you're a failure!

At least,

now I'm honestly Joosep.

Well...

Take a seat.

But in spite of this

little action

against the consumer society...

We'll go on with the class.

How will you get home?

- What?

How will you get home?

I don't know.

Try these.

Joosep, wait!

So, what's up?

Tight?

- No, they are ok.

What you said in the class,

did you mean it?

Absolutely.

I think you should wear these

expensive shoes,

then they wouldn't

pick on you so much.

I definitely will not do that.

It is a principle.

Hi! You were supposed

to call me later.

But I wanted

to see you in person.

Of course,

you don't have time in school.

Yeah, that sucks.

Suddenly, what is it

with you and Joosep?

I didn't know

that you were such good friends.

We are not friends or...

Just...

But this fighting with other

boys, it is really stupid.

What should I do, then?

Just watch the others

beat him up?

But it used to be like that.

- I can't stop it now.

Keep on beating Joosep,

l'll just watch...

Thea, for the first time

in my life I feel...

That this is a matter of honor.

Well, hello...

Do you know what time it is?

Don't start, grandma. Please.

- Wait...

Have you eaten?

Kaspar?

Come to the kitchen,

l'll heat up the omelet.

So, where were you?

Walking with Thea.

Where did you walk?

Grandma, that really

is not your business.

When I get calls from school,

it really is my business.

Why did they call?

You are picking on

your classmates.

What nonsense is that?

- I got a call from school,

that you are picking on

someone named Joosep.

I am not...

I don't pick on anybody.

Kaspar... Do you know,

how much I want to believe you?

You come home at night.

You won't talk to me.

Kaspar, tell me...

You are not one of those,

who they write about?

Violent?

You really

don't understand anything.

But how can I be sure

that you are not lying to me?

Well, who is this Kaspar?

- He is not to blame.

But who is?

- What do you mean?

So, somebody is actually

teasing you?

Well?

- The whole class.

What?

- The whole class!

What talk is that?

- It's just how it is...

The whole class is never

picking on someone!

Usually there are

some leaders behind it.

And what do you do?

- What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Nobody picks on my boy, so that

I get phone calls from school!
