SARA: MY TURN FOR WHAT?
HI! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SEND?
-[Felice] Like, everyone knows. -[girls chatter]
-[Stella chuckles] -[Felice] Uh, yeah.
Come on, I see them talking and looking.
[Maddie] People are bored, and something else will happen.
And they will forget about this and think about that--
Also, like, who cares if people know? I mean, what does it matter?
Not like you found it amusing when people gossiped about you, right?
[Sara] What?
Well, you know, so Stella and I made out at a few parties,
and then, all of a sudden, someone started this rumor
that we were, like, open for threesomes.
It bothered you. I just thought like, "Fuck it. Everyone sucks. Who cares?"
-[Sara] Were you a couple? -[Fredrika laughs] No.
Every girl makes out with her best friend while drunk.
-I've never done that. -No? Well, then it's about goddamn time.
But you know, Felice only makes out with people from the royal family.
-[girls laugh] -Excuse me? You suck so hard!
-[girls chuckle] -Shame on you!
…sensitive. [chuckles]
-What's going on? -[Fredrika] It's for our Saint Valentine.
-[Sara] For Valentine's Day? -No, my God, no.
Valentine's Day is some kind of tacky American crap
that Sweden started celebrating in, like, the 50s.
-It's, like, not the same thing. -[chuckles] Yeah, okay.
This is one of Hillerska's oldest traditions.
And it began with students writing love letters to each other.
And then, you know, like, poems to each other in the 1700s. So cool!
And Mom says it's, like, the best party of the entire year.
-[Sara] Party? -Seriously, has Felice told you anything?
What kind of party?
[Fredrika] Well, okay, it starts with all the guys writing, throughout the week,
love letters to the girls they're interested in.
And then, there'll be--
It's so goddamn weak that only guys get to write though.
Sorry, but it's not our fault
that they were a bit sexist in the 1700s, right?
Nowadays, you can send to whoever you want.
And then, they're sent out anonymously-ish.
Yeah, but some guys send to practically everyone.
[all chuckle]
And then, everything ends with a masquerade ball.
And if you manage to find out who your secret admirer is,
you go to the ball together.
And you get to wear real dresses from the 1700s, and wigs too.
[Fredrika] It'll be crazy.
We're gonna look like Marie Antoinette, for real.
But she was decapitated.
-[all chuckle] -But…
Can everyone stop being so negative all the time? I don't get it.
But what do you write in the letter?
Wait, what? Who are you gonna send to?
[girls laugh]
No, I… I don't have anyone in mind.
Okay. Okay, listen. If you want somebody's attention, send a nude.
-[snaps finger] -[Felice] But…
-[girls chuckle] -But how do you do that?
How do you send a nude? So take off all your clothes--
-She's messing with you. -[girls chuckle]
Don't listen to her. She gives the worst advice ever.
-Don't send nudes. -[Stella] Ugh!
And, like, you need to have good odds. You can't just bet it all on one girl.
'Cause if she says no, you have no plan B.
The girls like a bit of competition, so they'll just like you even more.
-Yeah. That's working wonders for you. -[Walter] Yeah. I promise, it works.
[banging on table]
Is there someone here who, um…
has something that he wants to, um… share with the rest of us?
No one?
No one who, uh, feels inclined?
-[boy 1 clears throat] -Oh well, okay.
If the person in question doesn't want to get up voluntarily,
then, um… I don't have a choice.
-[chants] Wille on the table! -[pounding table rhythmically]

What is this insane fucking tradition? I can't be the only one who thinks that.
We don't have to keep doing this.
-We should respect each other's privacy! -So nobody was in your room yesterday?
This is exactly what I mean. It's-It's none of your business.
But we have a witness.
Felice was in my room, but we were watching a movie.
[all chuckle]
-[boy 2] What movie? -[all chuckle]
That's cozy.
For real, it wasn't anything like that. I mean…
[all chuckle]
[Vincent] No? Okay.
No, no, no. Uh, okay. I understand. I understand.
But just so that I, uh, well, set the record straight, um…
what you're saying is that Henry…
he was in fact not in your room yesterday,
and didn't see you and Felice making out in your bed?
-You're saying that's slander? -[cutlery clatters]
-[chair scrapes] -[Vincent] He's lying.
He's sitting here lying.
[Nils] Wille, it's fine. [chuckles]
-I mean, come on. -You shouldn't lie.

It might sound a bit lame, but my school's organizing a ball.
-A ball? -Mm-hmm.
Would you like to go to the ball with me?
So, what, you wanna show me off to everybody?
-[sighs] But I don't even go there. -But that doesn't matter.
It's a masquerade. Nobody will care.
School parties and a ball at Hillerska, that's not really my thing.
[music continues]
[scoffs] Never mind.
But can't we just hang out at my place?
Just you and me.
We can watch a movie or something.
Skip the ball.
-[Simon] Can't do that. -Why not?
-The choir's performing. -Well, you can come over afterwards.
-Maybe. -Maybe?
-Yeah. -What do you mean, maybe?
-[Simon] Mm. -You want to.
-[chuckles] What? -Huh?

Well, I haven't, um… I haven't found the right moment.
-I've had a lot on my mind. -What do you mean?
Why don't you just tell her you don't wanna sell him to them?
But you know how she can be sometimes.
I wanna tell her when she's in a good mood.
But, um, I mean, I can talk to her tomorrow.

Simon, I understand that it sucks, but… you kinda have double standards.
I'm not the one who's got a secret boyfriend.
[bag zips]
It's just like you say there's nothing serious between you.
Then you kiss him right in front of me. How the hell do you think that feels?
[bag zips]
Are you official now?
At least he's open about liking me.
He wants me to meet all of his friends and likes it when I sing--
And you mean, I don't?
-He accepts me for who I am. -As if I don't accept you?!
You're the one who can't accept my position,

-Now? -[Wilhelm] Yeah.
-Uh, sure. -[Maddie giggling]
-Another theory… -[they chuckle]
-Yummy. -[Stella] I mean, it's obvious.
[Maddie] What is going on there?
[Wilhelm] I don't know what happened.
[Felice] Me neither.
[sighs]
I think that…
when I saw Simon and Marcus after the competition, it felt so…
felt so damn real, you know?
He's really moving on, and…
-Now-Now, he said that they're together. -Wille, are you for real?
I mean, fucking seriously?
Like, the entire school is talking shit about me,
saying that I'm trying to marry into the royal family.
And you did it to, what, make Simon jealous?
-Do you understand how selfish that is? -No, Felice, I didn't mean it like that.
I just wanted to see if it could feel the same way it feels with Simon.
Yeah, 'cause that makes everything so much better.
[scoffs] Like, I was in love with you, for such a long time.
And you knew about it.
[Wilhelm sighs]
Fuck…
It was a real-- really crappy thing to do.
[Felice] Yeah.
I like you so much.
You've been a really, really great friend.
Can you forgive me?
[Felice chuckles]
Well, it wasn't like I tried to stop you, to be fair.
And of course, I like you very much too… as a friend.
[Wilhelm sighs]
-Can I have a hug? -Yeah, come here.
[Wilhelm sighs softly]
-Do you want to go to the ball with me? -[chuckles] What?
Yeah, well, I was just thinking that if people are gonna give you shit for it,
maybe they'll calm down if we go together.
No, everyone will talk even more. They know I was in love with you.
And to be honest,
I think I was sort of in love with you… just because you were a prince.
Do you mind telling Simon that?
That it can actually be a good thing.
[sighs] Just because you're not together right now,
that doesn't mean that everything's lost.
[smacks lips] Yeah, I think it does.
[sighs]
And I'm sick of hoping for it.
Fuck, it hurts so much.
Feels like I'm gonna die.

-Hey, Henry, nice move telling everybody. -What?
Wh-What… I didn't tell anyone. I just told Walter.
He's the one that snitched to the rest of them.
I-- I haven't said a word.

I'd just like to walk into a room, at some point, without everyone staring.
I get that, but, uh, maybe you shouldn't be walking into this room then.
[owl hoots]
[sighs] If I were to start dating, sometime…
Yeah?
[owl hooting]
How… should, you know…
I mean, Erik's only serious girlfriend was Mom's friend's daughter.
-[Nils chuckles] -It was pretty easy to keep it low-key.
-They were hanging out with the same-- -[Nils] Wille, you're thinking too much.
Stop making it difficult.
-What are you doing over Easter break? -[Wilhelm] Why?
Listen, you're going with me to Verbier.
We have a house there. We'll ski. I'll throw some great parties.
-What are you into? Twinks? Bears? -[Wilhelm chuckles] Nils…
Asians? Latinos?
Nils, I don't think Mom would be very pleased if it got out.
No, come on, we'll be discreet.
You didn't even know that I was gay.
Well…
-Do Vincent and August know? -I don't know.
Or I think they know, but it's nothing we talk about really.
I mean, just don't make a big deal of it.
And, look, like, name one CEO that's openly homosexual.
No one. And I'm not gonna be the first one, you know?
I get that.
Can I ask you something… about Simon?
Did he seriously think that you would admit that it was you in the video?
Huh?
I…
I told him I wasn't gonna make that statement.
-[Nils] Mm-hmm. -But then, I did it anyway.
I think that's why that he feels like he can't trust me.
Mm. But it's not a problem for him. He's, like, Simon… a-a nobody.
But for you, it would be, uh… It would be world news.
It's kind of a big request from someone you've been dating for, like, a month.
-That's not how he sees it. -[Nils] No.
That's why you have to start hanging with someone who's like… your league.
One of us.
Huh?
So what do you say? Verbier?
Huh?

So send me your passwords
so that PR can delete all problematic material.

Is there anything in particular we should be aware of?
Wh-wh… What would that be?

Do you have any STDs? Or is there anything else that we need to know?
-[August] No. -[Jan-Olof] I see.
Do you smoke, drink, do drugs?
It's important that you're honest with me now.
-August? -No, nothing like that.
I-I-I find it important to stay healthy and exercise a lot, so…
[Jan-Olof] Right.
And just to have it confirmed, you are heterosexual, right?

I have to sit down. I'm sweating my ass off.
-No, come on, a bit more. -No, but you keep going.
[electronic music continues]
[indistinct chattering]
When are you gonna sing?
Uh… ten o'clock.
-And after that, we'll get out of here? -[Simon] Mm-hmm.
I was thinking…
you could sleep at my place, if you want to, I mean.
-Okay. -[girls laughing nearby]
-Okay? -[Simon] Mm-hmm.

Felice and Wille.
Rough, huh?
So what, are you buddies now, you and Wille?
[Alexander] Yeah, we are.
You know, he was the one who decided
that you should take the blame for the drugs.
-But… What? Why would he do that? -To protect Simon.
'Cause you were an easy target. I was the only one who voted against it.
So maybe you should think about who your real friends are, okay?

[Simon] Do you like those, by the way?
-Hi. -[Wilhelm] Hi.
Crown Prince.
You can call me Wille. It's cool.
-[Marcus] Yes. -[Wilhelm clears throat]
[smacks lips]
Hey, uh, smart of you to dress up as a waiter.
These wigs hurt like hell.
[Marcus] It's not really my style.
What? Poofy trousers and cravat, that's not your thing, is it?
[Marcus] Not really. [chuckles]
How, um… How are things at the shooting range?
[Marcus] Yeah, it's… it's all good.
-Fewer people shoot in the winter though. -Yeah.
[Marcus] You should come by and shoot again.
Sure thing. You should come too.
It's not my thing.
Can you give me a… a spoon, please?
But, uh, hey, come in and dance later.
-[Marcus] Sure. [chuckles] -Hmm… Nice. See you later.
[Marcus] Yeah, see ya.
He was really nice.
Not at all as snobby as he was
when he came to the range with that Felice girl.
Uh, I'm going to the restroom.

[breathing heavily]
[indistinct chattering]
What was that?
What do you mean?
I just thought it felt… a bit weird.
Was just trying to be polite.
[sighs]
I, um… I get it.
You're not in love with me anymore. I'm gonna leave you alone.
Your boyfriend seems really nice.
[door closes]
[soft ambient music drowns out background]
[Marcus] Thanks.
What's up?
[soft ambient music continues]
[loud electronic music playing]
-I'm just gonna… -Okay.
[Sara] August.
What?
Mm…
I'm sorry.
[scoffs]
So you just wanna sleep with me?
-[Sara] What? -Is that all?
-[Sara] No. -[August] I thought that…
I don't know. I thought that y-you liked me for real, you know?
-And that feels… -August, I do.
-Okay, but… -Yeah.
Wh-what's the problem then?
If Felice finds out, she'll… she'll hate me, and…
I-I saw how it turned out for Simon with Wilhelm, and I can't imagine--
I'm not Wilhelm, okay?
I'm not.
