LOONIES & PHONIES
Isak!
Help me!
Simon!
I've got cramps!
Don't leave me!
Calm down! You'll drag me down.
We won't make it!
We can do it! We can!
- What is it? - I don't know.
Simon! Simon!
Here we are!
I can handle myself now.
What happened anyway?
Pull them up from the stern.
Who's talking about quitting?
- We're not finished yet. - Are we?
You have to give it up.
The others have called the police.
We'll compete some other time.
Here's the towel.
We brought your clothes.
Thanks.
Now let's get back.
No, row us to the shed.
I don't want to go back to those idiots.
Aye, aye, captain.
A little to the left.
To the right. Straight ahead. It'll correct.
A little to the right.
Grab the edge. I'll stop here.
Sure you want to do this?
Yes.
Tell Kattis it was a very nice celebration.
Here we go! Bye!
Should we hang the clothes over the stove?
Yeah.
You're insane!
Have you been a girl all this time?
Of course.
But...
I'm actually Simone.
Simone?
Yes. Simone.
Simone.
You piss-rat...
Baboon-ass...
Skunk-fart.
Toad-filth.
Simone, you're insane!
Oh, I know. I know.
- Hi. - Hi.
What time is it?
Half past eight.
We'll be late for school.
Anna will be presenting her walking sticks.
I like you.
And I you.
They'll want to know where we are.
I'll... See you at school later.
I have to go home and change.
Like this?
Don't you care that we were worried — huh?
You've been out all night!
You can't behave like that!.
It's a fucking way to act is all!
Does this look good?
We haven't slept a wink!
Yngve was out looking on his bicycle!
I was telephoning your classmates!
Anything could have happened.
I had Isak with me.
Isak?
A guy from class.
Can I borrow your lipstick?
What are you laughing at?
What's funny?
Tell us what's funny!
Why can't you be normal? Tell me then!
Little Mama... Don't worry.
- Where are going? - Off to school!
Hey, watch out!
Hello. Excuse me.
- Where are you going? - To Miss Arlan's class.
The praying mantis often protects them from being eaten.
Some look like withered grass, other like broken twigs.
As protection, many stick insects have sting glands...
What are sting glands?
Well, they go...
They can expel a liquid that stinks and it's corrosive...
Oh, heck, that's disgusting!
What do you want?
It's me. It's just me
Simon!
Ah, actually it's Simone!
What?
Simone — a French name.
Is this some kind of joke?
No, it's true.
I'm not a boy. I'm a girl.
Now you go home and put on proper clothes, Simon!
Simone.
Can I continue now?
NO!
Help me!
I'm sorry.
Stop now.
I'm not a guy.
A girl!
And I was in love with her!
All right then, it's as you say.
You are a girl...
and I am a walking stick.
And now is the praying mantis.
Hello.
Simon! She thought you were a girl!
You're huge!
You think she's not?
But it can't be.
She IS a She.
A girl.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Simone.
Is it really you?
Kilroy! He's back!
But he's filthy!
He probably needs a bath.
Come, into the wash.
Come, on boy... come, come
Is that you?
Yes
I thought I would sit here... for a little while.
Feel better, now?
It almost seems as if...
the devils are leaving you alone, for a change.
You may find it feels a bit empty...
You may come to miss...
the suffering...
the things that burdened you.
- Isn't that strange? - Yes.
Then it is best that I go to bed, my crow.
Do you remember?
You taught me the constellations.
Now I do not remember a single one.
Aren't you going to bed?
Yeah, I'm coming.
You know, Simone,
I think it is almost time.
I have invited some friends to come here tomorrow night.
It's a sort of a...
farewell party.
Understand?
It's not true. You can not die.
I am curious what will happen.
Nutcases like it unsafe.
Only the normal want to know what to expect.
Sleep now.
Then... What happens next?
All clear?
Then we begin.
I love you all!
Father...
- Father, how are you? - It's good.
Just fine.
Let the party continue.
Simone!
Come with me?
Where?
Not far.
Okay.
