Ulf: [shouting in Swedish to Mark] You're pissing on my people! [to Pelle] Your little fucking American friend! He's pissed on the Rotvälta! Ulla: Christian? [snaps fingers twice] Christian... Hi. Hello! There you are! Listen: You can't speak. You can't move. [smiles] All right? [smiles] Good. Maja: [in Swedish after being impregnated by Christian during the mating ritual] I feel it! I can feel the baby!

Dani: [on the phone] It's just in his tone – you can hear it. It's like he's trying to work up the nerve to say something and I just keep staving it off. Girlfriend: So don't stave him off. Be direct! Confront him! Dani: Well – what if I scared him? I'm always roping him into my family crap... I'm always leaning on him! I tell him everything! I even called him today in tears because my sister sent me another scary email. What if I'm scaring him off? Girlfriend: Oh – how do you rope him in?That’s what he's there for! What did your sister write? Dani: Oh – just some ominous bullshit! She does it all the time! It’s torture, and I've been completely leaning on him for support! What if I overwhelmed him and now he thinks I have too much baggage? Girlfriend: Well, if that's the case, then good riddance! Right? Dani: No! Not if I went too far! What if I leaned too heavily? Girlfriend: You didn't! He should be there when you need him. Dani: But what if I need him too often? If it becomes a cho

Mark: Dude: you need to stop sitting on the fence with this. Christian: But what if I end up regretting it a week later, and then I can't get her back? Mark: You don't want her back! Christian: I might! Mark: So then you can bitch to us for that week about how much you regret it, and we'll be like, "Dude: you've been wanting out of this absurd relationship for the last year," and you'll be like "Oh shit, that's right" and then you can find some new chick who actually likes sex and who doesn’t drag you through a million hoops a day. Josh: Do you think a masochistic part of you is playing this drama out to distract you from the work you actually need to be doing? Christian: And what work do I actually need to do, Josh? Josh: Uhhh – your prospectus maybe? I dunno. Your PhD...? Waitress: Whenever you guys are ready. Pelle: Thank you. Waitress: [She smiles at Christian] Thank you. Mark: Dude. You could be getting that girl pregnant right now. Pelle: And don't forget all the Swedish women yo

Dani: [having a bad trip] I got lost. Christian: Let's go back to the group. Dani: Christian. Nothing means anything. Christian: What? Dani: Nothing means anything! We're just alone. [tearing up] And I felt this presence – like God but not God – and it was telling me this and it was laughing at me. Christian: You heard laughing? Dani: I felt it laughing! I figured it out, that nothing means anything and we're born alone and we die alone, and it was getting pleasure from that. Christian: Okay: no. We're going back to the friends. You're having a bad trip, and you're thinking you're alone because you went off and you made yourself alone. You just got scared. You have me. Everything’s connected. We're all one. Those are the good things you’re supposed to think about when you trip. We're all unified. Fuck.

Christian: Who all sleeps in here? Pelle: All the younger ones. Until we turn 32. Then we move to the houses. Josh: Why 32? Pelle: We think of life like the seasons. You are a child until you're 18, and that is the Spring. At some point we all do our Pilgrimage, and that's between 18 and 32. That's Summer. Then, from 33 to 52, you're of working age: Fall. And finally from 53 to 72, you become a mentor. Josh: Winter. Dani: What happens when you turn 72, then?
