Triangle of Sadness

Check the audio.

Great.

So, what are the most important aspects of being a male model?

I would say: look good.

Yes? And?

- Er, that's it. - And walk!

Look good and walk? But not at the same time, right?

- Most of the times at the same time. - Really? Can you do that?

- Er, sure. - Please show us! Yes, yes, go ahead.

Whoo! Yeah!

Thank you. Next!

Okay... Hello, hello, hello.

What do we have here?

- Hey, there. - What's up, man?

So, I want to know, did your parents support you in being a male model?

All the way, right from the start.

- Even your father? - Even my father, yeah. Why?

He wanted you to enter this industry where you earn only 1/3 of the women,

where you constantly have to maneuver homosexual men

who want to sleep with you?

Hot.

'I'm Lewis Taylor, and I'm standing here with my very best friend...'

- What was your name? - Er, Carl.

My best friend Carl!

- How are you today, Carl? - Yeah, good, good.

So, is this runway casting for a grumpy brand or a smiley brand?

Er, I don't know, man. I don't know.

Well, smiley brands are the cheap ones,

and the more expensive the brand gets,

you start to look down on your consumer.

Like, if you want to be a part of this "von oben" one-man in-crowd,

you have to show us some serious cash.

- So it's a grumpy brand, yeah? - Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

And if you get the job, you will get to wear exclusive clothing,

and look down on your consumer.

Okay, Carl. Show us some of that grumpy look.

- No, no... - Yeah, let's go!

Come on, Carl! You can do it.

Yes! "Don't you dare talk to me!

"I'm an Aryan 'Übermensch', too obsessed with the image of myself

"to be involved with anything that doesn't fit my stylized image of the world."

Wait...

"Suddenly, I'm dressed in something way less expensive.

"It's H&M!"

Everybody, come together!

"You can too be a part of this happy, smiling group of mixed skin colors,

"for not that much money! #friendship, #everyonesequal,

"#happylife, #stopclimatechange."

Oh, no! Oh! I am so sorry, darling.

I didn't see that it was Balenciaga you're wearing.

"We are strong and tough and unapproachable!"

Show me that Balenciaga look!

Oh, I'm sorry, I think it's back to H&M again!

"Yeah! We're just kidding. We're so cheap, we're so happy!"

Everybody, come closer together!

Balenciaga is back! Ooh, fiercer than ever!

"We are stone cold.

"Yes! Oh, my God, get away from us!"

H&M is here again!

Balenciaga!

And H&M!

Balenciaga!

And H&M!

Oh, everybody, give it up for these guys!

Fabulous! Fabulous, Carl!

Here...

- Hi. - Hello.

How are you guys doing?

- Oh, it's you? - Yeah.

You can hardly tell it's the same guy.

How old is this perfume campaign?

When was it? Er, three years ago.

- And then maybe a year after that. - Okay...

So you do castings again, then?

Yeah.

Could you do a little walk for us?

Er... Just quick. No smiling. No stopping.

Yeah.

One more time.

Okay.

Okay...

Today, fashion is not just about surface. It's about the inside.

Think about a tune that you like when you walk.

Look at me.

- Can you do that? - Yeah, so like a rhythm?

Yeah. Go!

Maybe he needs Botoxing.

Can you relax your Triangle of Sadness?

- It's like between your eyebrows here. - Okay.

A little bit more...

Okay. And open your mouth so you look a little bit more available.

Okay, not that much. A little bit less.

Okay. Thank you very much.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Next, please!

- Hi! - Hi.

God, no! They shouldn't be seated there.

Sorry, there's been a mistake.

These seats are for someone else. Please come with me...

- Wait, what... - What is it?

- But these are our seats. - Um, no...

- She's on her way over! - We need those seats now.

Just follow me, and there are other seats for you.

- But... - Hurry up, they're here now.

- I'm sorry. - Let's go. Come on.

- Don't touch me! - I'm sorry, but we need your seats now.

- Thank you so much! - No worries...

- Hello. Welcome! - Hi! Welcome!

Most welcome... Our apologies.

Hang on... Where's Gunilla?

Excuse me. We're a party of four.

- We need one more seat. - Attention please!

Everybody move one seat to the right.

One seat to the right! To the right!

Let's go!

And now everybody moves one seat to the right.

Great.

Perfect.

- Where can I sit? - Sorry?

- I don't have a seat now. - Can you just...? There's a seat.

Just right up there. Yeah. Just there.

Yaya! Yaya!

Yaya, look here. Look here, Yaya!

Yaya!

Yaya!

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, honey.

That's so sweet of you.

Do you like the place?

- A little stuffy? - A little stuffy.

What?

I don't know, you looked like you were thinking there.

No, I'm not. I'm not.

Cool.

I can tell there's something's wrong. Just talk to me, what is it?

No, it's just...

When you say...

When you say, "Thank you, honey" like that...

You don't really give me an option but to pay.

It was just an observation. Just something I've noticed.

- We can split the bill if you like. - No, no...

- I can whip out a calculator... - No, no, okay.

- How many glasses of wine did you have? - Oh, sure...

- You had, like, three more. - That's not what I mean.

Yeah, I think it all evens out, you know.

Hmm...

Don't you remember last night? You said you were gonna...

You said you were gonna pay for food today.

At the end of the meal, you said, "Thanks. Tomorrow I'll get it."

Sure, but then you picked up the bill,

and I thought you wanted to pay, so I said, "Thank you, honey."

- But it was there for such a long time... - I didn't see it.

- You didn't see it? - I, er...

No, I didn't. I didn't see it.

Or I didn't notice it. We were just having a nice dinner.

You didn't see the bill when it got put on the table?

No, I didn't, Carl.

So the waiter came in, and put it in the middle of the table just there.

- And you didn't happen to see it? - Oh, my God!

What? I'm asking you seriously now, because...

Wow...

What's... What's "wow"?

What are you doing?

No, no, no. Just don't... Wait. Can you sit down? Sit down.

I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I did wrong!

- Seriously? - Calm down. Please, just sit down.

- You're fighting over money! - No! That's not what's...

- That's literally what's happening.

- I'm just pointing out the fact that...

- Why are you so obsessed with money? - I'm not obsessed.

Can you just sit down, please? I'm not obsessed with money.

It was just an observation from yesterday. Can you please sit down?

- No, no, no... What are you doing? - It's fine.

Well, you can't pay now, that's ridiculous.

- Don't, Carl. - What are you doing?

- Let go. - No, no, no... I'm paying the bill.

That's not why I said it.

- Sorry. - Are we enjoying ourselves?

Yes, thanks, yeah. Yaya...

- Thank you very much. - Thank you.

Now I feel bad.

Why? I make more money than you.

Excuse me. Your card didn't work.

- Do you have another one, maybe? - Can you try it again, please?

I tried it twice.

- I'm sorry, we don't accept that one. - Just take this one.

Carl! Just give me a second. Just wait!

- Let me pay. - Just wait!

It's fine, you don't have enough cash. Take that.

- You accept that one, yeah? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Thanks so much.

Thank you.

I do think it's quite crazy how it's such a hard thing to talk about.

Money.

It's such a touchy subject. Don't you think?

Yeah, I think it's un-sexy to talk about money.

Okay, but then why is that?

I don't know, it's just not sexy.

Well, you don't think it's because it's so tied to gender roles?

Fuckin' hell, the menu in the restaurant didn't even have prices for you.
