- What?

- Dry-humping.

Nobody.

How old are you anyway? Like five?

- No, I'm ten.

- Then why are you such a baby?

- Isn't he a baby?

- I don't know, it doesn't matter.

You've got to prove you're not chicken.

Take your clothes off.

What? No...

Okay. Let's take a vote.

Go on!

Hey...

Do it!

Strip, Ola!

No!

No, I don't want to...

No!

Look at that dinky thing!

It's pathetic...

Look at him!

Sh*t, is he ever ugly...

Hey, don't drink straight from the tap.

Go clean up your room,

Elisabeth says it's a mess.

Not so fast...

Show me.

Nisse would a sailor be

And set off for Jamaica...

- Mom, you've got to come. Right now.

- What is it?

- Can't you manage to poop?

- No...

Goodbye.

There... Bend over.

That stings!

That ought to do it.

Just wait and see.

Check it out...

You can borrow it for your performance.

I stole it at a mall in Stockholm.

That's gross!

I'll send Gunnar over

to talk to your aunt, this won't do.

Even if she doesn't have kids,

she ought to know they need to poop.

I'M SORRY

Ola!

They're starting to sprout tiny legs.

Hey, where have you been?

That doesn't look good,

it might be infected.

You should really

go have that checked out.

It's hard to imagine, isn't it?

But that's how it is.

You're going to end up

looking just like this some day, too.

Want to check out how they feel?

''Bud-shaped''...

''Dome-shaped''...

''Pear-shaped''...

''Full sagging breast''...

''Empty sagging breast''...

Oh, are you taking a bath?

What's the occasion?

Where's that aunt of yours?

She's out.

Right... I'll go downstairs

and wait for her.

That bathwater sure looks dirty...

So, where is she?

Elisabeth says she walks around

in her underwear.

That whiskey belongs to my mom.

Hey, Tiny, don't change the subject.

Where is she?

Out shopping.

At this hour?

Isn't she supposed to take care of you?

Isn't she?

Elisabeth had to squirt

soapy water up your behind.

- She probably just missed the bus.

- Right...

You hadn't pooped for weeks.

Is that being responsible?

What were they thinking, going off

to Africa and leaving you here...

I guess that's what happens when you

want to save the whole damn world.

- Right?

- I don't know...

What kind of monkey business

is going on around here?

What do you mean?

I'm going to tell Elisabeth about this.

She'll know how to reach your parents.

And maybe you'll have to stay with us.

Jesus, what's the matter

with some people!

You bastard...

- Did you get hurt?

- What? No.

But my car...

Want me to call Ola's dad?

- He can pull you out with his tractor.

- Yeah, go ahead.

- You've been drinking, though.

- What?

You've been drinking.

Don't tell anybody that.
