The Idiots Page #2

Synopsis: A group of perfectly intelligent young people decide to react to society's cult of aimless, non-creative and non-responsible form intellect by living together in a community of "idiots". Their main activity becomes going out into the world of "normal" people and pretending to be mentally retarded. They take advantage of this situation to create anarchy everywhere they go and try by every possible means to make people annoyed, disturbed, miserable, ridiculous, angered, and shocked. The film starts as they recruit a new lost soul and introduce her to their megalomaniac leader.

Because I thought

this spassing about was pathetic.

- So what the hell are you back for?

- I've changed my mind.

- "Changed your mind"?

- Yes. Is that wrong?

You might have come

to get me back again, right?

What the hell would I see in you, man?

- Oh, Katrine...

- You think very highly of yourself.

Quit touching me.

Your lies are pouring out

of every hole in your body.

- What's your problem?

- No problem.

If that's the way you feel,

come on.

You want to go outside? Fine.

Stoffer!

Axel is telling me to beat it.

Pretty weird

when I've come to spass.

- She's come back to get at me.

- Who has?

Three guesses.

Say something to her.

Katrine, have you come to spass

or have you come to get Axel back?

I've come to spass.

What are you doing, Jeppe?

I'm tying this up.

... First round the lake.

No, out of the lake,

round the palm tree, into the lake.

I'm not coming if anyone's

going to be rough or silly.

It's slippery and dangerous

and you can fall and get hurt.

You mean it's slippery

at the public pool?

Axel, are you going to be rough?

- Round the lake...

- Don't look at me.

I know f*** all about knots.

- Heck!

- There's a knot in it.

Why all this scout sh*t?

Who is minder today?

You're minder yesterday.

- Round the palm, into the lake.

- The palm? What's that?

- What do you think?

- Listen up!

It's crazy if I'm the only one

who ever minds.

It's unrealistic.

- Josephine can't even mind herself.

- Thanks a bunch!

Karen, what about you?

Would you?

- Yeah, Karen!

Why are you undoing it again?

Stop... stop it!

I'll tie it up.

Get into the car.

Round the damned palm

and out of the bloody lake.

No, into the lake.

- Right then.

- It's not very tight.

You're driving me f***ing bonkers.

- They're going.

- Round the lake...

Out of the lake, round the palm tree,

into the lake again.

I'd rather not help poke fun.

Hey lads, will you lend me a hand?

- Has it broken?

- I can't figure it out.

Katrine, we've got to talk.

I've a wife and a kid.

It won't do.

What do you want?

Maybe I bought it a size too small.

In the boutique, it fitted like a dream.

You want me?

Out of the question.

- It's impossible.

- Give her the ball.

That's right.

You are the most vicious c*nt

I've ever come across.

Hey! Stop trying it on.

- I felt you feeling up my back.

- I wasn't.

You were too.

If I do this to you,

can't you feel it?

Ped? Ped? They're... Ped?

Don't make passes at me

or I'll call my husband.

Go to the men's changing room

at the other end.

Stoffer, let go.

Let go, all right?

Yes, it's Stoffers willy.

Turn round, Stoffer.

There.

When I think about Karen,

I think of...
