Well, we'll see about that.
Or let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We'll see.
So, this is all your land? No, no, uh, it's everybody's land.
In Sweden we have something called "allemansratt".
It means that everyone has the right to be on anyone else's land.
Well, how do you know who to shoot? Shoot? Just messing with you, Burger.

Booze? Oh Yes, and this this is the view I was telling you about.
Wow.
Yeah, but what happens, I mean, if there's an emergency, a medical emergency? Let's say you have a heart attack.
I mean, how soon can an ambulance even get here? Well, I haven't really thought about that.
Ahh, yeah, well But, I'm healthy as a - as a - As a horse, a horse.

We love them, we go crazy.
I'll stand guard.
I don't want to get arrested or anything.
Okay.
Don't you want to pick some? No, no, no.
I think, um, I think what I'm going to do is maybe just just pop one off for later.
Do you want to? No, I'm just going to keep it in my purse.
Okay.
Ooh It's strong, very strong.
What do you do for a living? I'm a sea captain.
Oh.
So you've sailed the seven seas? No, no.
Just one.
I was on a small boat for for the kommun.
How do you say kommun? - Communist? - Yes, yes.
Sometimes it's so hard - to find the right English words.
- Ah.
- Burger, - Yeah? - you can be honest with me.
- Okay.
What do you think about Bruce? - Well - I feel that his life here is making him soft.
Hey, Bruce! Yeah? You think you can take your old man? Ah, no.
Come on, let's do this, it's time.
What is he talking about? Arm wrestling.
Sadly he's talking about arm wrestling.
Well, let's just say it's a family tradition.
Let's also just say, I've never lost.
Hey, what's going on? Just a little friendly arm wrestling competition.
No, we're not.
I'll bet 100 crowns on Wayne.
What? Do you even have 100 crowns? I'll get it from Mom.
Okay, you're on.
I'll take Bruce.
- No, I'm not doing this.
- Oh, yes you are.
It's stupid.
Okay.
You ready? - Go.
- Ow! Ow There, satisfied? Oh, that's right.
Just walk away.
How very neutral of you, how Swedish.
All right, you know what, do you want to do this? Let's do this then.
Now, son Rematch.
- Okay, come on.
- Yeah.
- You're ready? - Now I'm ready.
Yeah.
Go.
Oww! I told you I didn't want to do this! Okay, honey it's okay.
- It's not okay! It's stupid.
- Yeah.
I hate it when he makes his boo-boo lip.
Uh, that's what we say in Sweden.
So, it means Be so goda.
Yes.
Almighty Jesus, it's me, Wayne, and we are grateful for the food you have provided us.
Lord Jesus, we bow down humbly before you, grateful for gathering all of us together.
Thank you for everything you give us.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
Is there a Swedish word for "amen"? Yes, it's "amen".
Oh! I guess I just didn't hear you say it.
Amen.
I'm sorry, I just can't say that.
It wouldn't be right.
We're not religious.
But you believe in God, right? No, not at all! This food is delicious, right? I mean Yeah.
It's fishy.
Hm Religion is the moral foundation for every society! Let's degree to disagree.
When you meet me in heaven, you can come up to me and say, "I told you so.
" Not everyone gets into heaven.
Ah-hah, I found a flight.
Wayne, is Cleveland the closest airport? - Yes.
- How about September? September is a very busy month for us.
Good, non-refundable, okay.
Listen, I'm a little confused here.
Religion is a part of everything.
You got married in a church, right? We're not actually not married.
In Sweden, we call it "sambo.
" - Rambo.
- Mom, that's a movie, actually.
Well, not just a movie, Nancy.
It's one of the top 13 movies of all time.
Yes.
Maybe things are different here.
But in America, it's considered a very bad thing to have children before you get married.
Dad, that's not even true.
Maybe not among your New York friends, son, but for the rest of the country, yes, indeed, it is a bad thing.
Nobody likes bastards.
Oh, my God.
- What? - You just called everyone here a bastard.
I did not.
I said people whose parents aren't married are bastards.
Yeah, that's that's everyone, so Bruce, do you think your father will be upset if I don't visit? Oh No, I think he'll survive.
I never thought I'd say this about an American, but I'm afraid I don't like him.
It's not your fault.
Nobody likes him.
Come here, it'll be okay.
Okay? Go home and just watch "Independence Day" - or something, you know.
- Or "Die Hard".
- Yeah, something to cheer you up.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you smoking? Yeah.
They drive me to it.
Do you want one, or? No, I don't think I should.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
Sorry.
So, uh, do you feel the same way as your father? Is that why you asked whether we should get married? No, honey, come here.
There's a reason why I live 4000 miles away from them.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
And if I ever challenge this little guy to an arm wrestling contest, remind me to shoot myself.
- It could be a girl though.
- Maybe I would win then.
Ah, we don't know that for sure.
Well, you're right.
So, have you thought of any baby names yet? Mmm Gretel? - Gretel? Why? - Yeah.
- It sounds really Swedish.
- Okay, no, it's not.
What do you think about Simon - if it's a boy? - Seriously? - Yeah! Yeah.
- Semen? You want me to name my kid Semen? I thought that went pretty well.
Couple of minor cultural differences, but that's all.
Whatever you say, Dad.
Oh, hey, hey, hey Is that one? - Nope, just European.
- Ah, damn.
Dad, I told you the men here are just really stylish.
You can't tell the difference between gay and European.
- Well, that one might be - No, European.
- Really? - Yeah.
I don't know how you can tell the difference.
Oh, hey, there's a pub.
Let's all go get a beer.
Swedish beer.
No, no, I was thinking it might be nice for Emma and I to spend some time together, - some girl talk.
- Okay.
Yeah, you guys go ahead.
- Okay.
Bye.
- Bye.
I don't get it.
You had a great life in New York.
I know but, I mean, Stockholm is a better place for kids and we're thinking about starting a family, so Really? You want to have kids? - It's a possibility.
- You do that, son, and there's no turning back.
You're going to be stuck where you are the rest of your life.
All right, you know what, enough.
Okay? I mean, I know Sweden is tough, but I have Emma, okay? And I love her, Dad.
So you're going to have to start respecting that.
I don't agree with a single thing you just said.
But, you did say it to me like a man and I got to respect that.
Thank you.
I guess this is as close to a father-son moment as we get.
You know, I love you, Dad.
Hey, son, I really have to take a piss.
This beer goes through you like water.
Wait, is this a gay bar? Only the best in town.
Okay Do you happen to have any Xanax on you? - I'm sorry, no.
- Oh.
I'm starting to feel my, uh emotions.
It's horrible.
Ahh You know, it's funny.
I actually had my own international romance.
You did? Yes, I did, once upon a time.
It was back in college.
He was a foreign exchange student.
I fell in love with him, of course, and eventually he had to go back to Amsterdam, and he wanted me to go with him.
And, uh I just was so young, and I And then I met Wayne and he Well, you know how decisive he can be.
I guess my point is, that I'm just I'm really happy that you met Bruce and I'm so happy to see what you guys have together because just because I didn't do that.
Now that he's Sorry.
I just - I could really use that Xanax now.
- Okay.
Everything's just coming.
You'll never believe what happened to me in the men's room.
I had the best conversation with this young man in there.
Absolutely charming.
His name is Magnus.
Magnus, I think I'm going to give him a call.
Yeah, you should.
You know, I don't know what it is, I can't put my finger on it, but I really like this place.
Yeah, it's very European.
- Just feels right.
- Yeah.
Thank you for coming.
Really, I loved having you here.
Come back any time you want.
- I loved it.
- It was great.
- Good bye, buddy.
- Yep.
Christmas time.
What do you think? 'Cause we never got to see the Vikings! Come on, let's get I just got my period.
So what does that mean? Well, that I'm not pregnant.
Oh, Babe I'm sorry.
Come, sit down.
I love you.
Oh my God I'm just getting fat!
