Deciding Between Choices and Regrets

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 Thank you.

[She smiles at Christian]

Mark Dude. You could be getting that girl pregnant right now.

Pelle And don't forget all the Swedish women you can impregnate in June.

Mark Yeah, dude – don't forget all the Swedish milkmaids.

Searching for Meaning in Disconnection

Dani I got lost.

[having a bad trip]

Christian Let's go back to the group.

Dani Christian. Nothing means anything.

Christian What?

Dani Nothing means anything! We're just alone. And I felt this presence – like God but not God – and it was telling me this and it was laughing at me.

[tearing up]

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.

Disappearance Raises Suspicion Among Friends

Sven Where is your friend? Josh?

[after one of the sacred texts goes missing]

Christian I know, ah... We have no idea.

Sven He, and your other friend – They both disappear the same day. You see how it looks?

Anticipation for the Upcoming Ceremony

Pelle All right – beauty rest! Tomorrow's a big day.

Josh And what's tomorrow?

Pelle First of the big ceremonies.

Josh So you're just gonna be weird and cryptic?

Josh Are you serious?

[eyes widening]

Christian What's that? What's Ättestupan? Fuck. What’s Ättestupan?

[pulls out his phone and types "Atestupan" into a search engine, but there's no internet connection.]

Dani Is it scary?

Josh You'll see.

Search for Connie in the unknown.

Dani Has anyone seen Connie?

Christian I think Mark saw her earlier.

Mark I'm sure I saw her trying out for the sprinting Olympics earlier.

Dani What, where?

Jarl Sorry, but I can say what happened. Her boyfriend called our landline from the train station and calmed Connie down. She begged our pardon and I drove her to meet him.

Christian OK. That's really...

Dani Why would Simon leave without her?

Christian I'm sure it was just a miscommunication.

Life Stages Compared to Seasons

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 16, and that is the Spring. At some point we all do our Pilgrimage, and that's between 17 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?
