for some new penguins.

But how many penguins do you need?

It's important that I don't freeload.

All yours, nut case!

Are they all related?

Herrng have millions of offspring.

I don't think they know who's

a mom, dad, sister or brother.

But who really knows that?.

I do.

You think you do.

But you don't know.

We don't know.

- What do you mean by that?.

- I have a father.

Someone who knocked up my mother.

But he may have slept around

with a lot of other women.

Like your mom.

Or yours.

Both of you.

- So we're siblings?

- Brothers and sisters, man.

- Hi!

- Hi.

- Are you at work?

- Come on.

Get out of here.

You stay here.

Do...

Do-de-do-de-do...

This isn't cool.

Not at all.

- At least my mom is somewhere warm.

- Where?

Las Vegas.

What's she do there?

Works at a casino.

Makes a fortune.

She keeps wanting me to come visit.

But she's given up asking me.

She asks my aunt instead.

Caesars Palace.

It's awesome!

Give ten dollars to the doorman

before you go in.

Then he'll remember you

if you get in trouble.

- Let's give him thirty.

- And you wonder why you're broke?

Don't play the slots.

They're for the tourists.

But just past the slots

is the Million Dollar. Mill.

We play for 100 dollars.

Not 10, not 50, but 100.

That gives much better odds.

We play the combination

and win millions!

Ka-ching!

That would be enough.

In your dreams.

Come on!

Jerk.

Ka-ching!

Isn't it enough?

How much are you missing?

- Around 1000.

- Marianne?

Today he's 1000 short, tomorrow 2000.

- He has no idea how to save!

- Yes, I do.

Anyone want a kebab?

We have to do something, Thomas.

How much are you short, right now?

I'm short 500 koner..

Look!

Get out.

I see.

I understand. But he's sitting here

with two ferry tickets to Denmark.

Yes, but this could be

just what the two of you need.

I'll tell him.

He'll be pleased to hear that.

This isn't a permanent decision

you have to make.

Stay with us as long as you want.

Or until you can move home.

Roger hasn't moved out, Thomas.

- And it doesn't look likely.

- He will move out!

I hear you, but we have to

relate to the situation today.

She has a job, she doesn't want

him there anymore. She's doing fine.

He's going to move out!

I think that's enough.

At least

we have had a chance to meet.

Think about it, Thomas.

And we'll talk again in a few weeks.

Lillian?

I haven't seen her for days.

Have you quit?.

Work, mom!

No.

I just didn't feel up to it today.

- What is this?

- Can you call, tell them I'm sick?

- What the hell is this?

- It's nothing.

- What is this?

- Nothing.

Honey...

He has to go, mom.

Now!

- Don't you get it?.
