"Hello." "Good afternoon." "My name is Andreas Ramsfjell." "You're expected." " Was the banner for me?" " Yes." "Jump inn." "I like making a bit of a fuss." "It's nice banner." "I have a car that's newer, but it's in the shop." " Are you comfortable?" " Yes." "I'll turn the radio on if you like." "I'd rather not." " Where are we going?" " To your place." "This is number 42." "You're in apartment F on the first floor." "Here are the keys to the apartment." " And this is where your new job is." " What kind of job is it?" "You're an accountant at a contractor's down town." "A good firm." " Is that a problem?" " No." "You'll get used to it." " May I help you?" " I'm supposed to start working here." " Ravnsfjell, is that right?" " Ramsfjell." "With an M." " Håvard." " Andreas." " Welcome." " Thanks." " Want a gum?" " No thanks." " Suppose you want to see your office." " I should probably meet the boss." " That's me." " Say hello to Andreas." " Hello." "Harald." " Andreas." "Andreas, this is Vigdis." "He'll be working in accounting." " Excellent." "That's Ivar." " Hello." "Well..." "Here we are." " Nice office." " Yeah." "A little cash." "Until you get a bank account." "There's something wrong with the booze in this place." "They've watered it or put something in it." "Nothing wrong with the booze." "I've been drinking all night, but it doesn't work." "Doesn't work." "My head's still clear." "It's terrible." "Don't listen to him." "He's drunk." "I've spent everything I've earned on booze, but still nothing." "There's no point." "And philosophical." "Drunk and philosophical." "I've tried everything." "Nothing tastes any good." "I used to like hot chocolate." "But it's not any good now." " Nothing tastes anything." " Don't listen to him." "And hot chocolate's supposed to be nice." "Dark and tasty." " Just imagine the smell." " You'll get used to it." "It's not just hot chocolate." "That was just an example." "It doesn't taste any good." "And it's all like that." "Hot chocolate, pussy and burgers." " Nothing has any taste." " What's your point?" "It's not that it need to be nice all the time." "But once in a while..." "Ouch!" "Ouch..." "Andreas, what happened?" "You can't just sit here." "Don't touch me." "Harald?" "Come here for a second." "Andreas, what's happened?" "Don't touch me." "I'm OK." "Sorry about this." "Stupid of me." "Thanks for the ride." "Hello." " Hello." " Hello, Andreas." " Do you want some?" " Thanks." "Hello." "Want some cake?" " I'm sorry." " Anything we can do for you?" " No..." " It's important that you're happy." "Just let me know if you need a new computer or a chair or whatever." " Everything's fine." " You're not too busy?" "No." "It's fairly simple." "Not too much." "Just let me know." "Don't worry about lunch." "Take whatever breaks you need." " Can I sit here?" " Please do." " There's plenty to choose from." " That one." "I like that one." " It's got to be comfortable as well." " Right." "Must be nice to sit on." " All of them are nice." " Not all of them." "A lot of them are nice." "That one's cool." " But it takes up a lot of space." " Can't put it in a corner." " Can't put that one in a corner." " What about that one?" " It looks comfy, and..." " Not a bit too casual?" " I don't want to be a snob, but..." " Casual style." "Good idea." "Then we could get a more minimalist chair with it." "I think you're right." "Difficult to choose." " Any plans tonight?" " No, I'm free." "We're getting together for dinner at my place." "You're welcome to join us." " Something wrong?" " No." " How's that new girl doing?" " Better than we thought." "Excellent." " What do you do?" " I sell kitchen interiors." "Interesting." "And what do you do in the evenings?" "I'm taking a class." "I'm interested in interior design." "Interesting." "Maybe we could go out some time?" "To a concert or something?" "That would be nice." "Good." "Cheers." "Nice to se you all." "Here we are." " Nice area." " The house is a bit run down." "I'm redecorating." "A bit much for just one person." "Good night." "Thanks for walking me home." "My pleasure." "Good night." "Unless you want to come in..." "Good job." " Is that colour azure?" " No, it's coral." "Cool coral." "They're beautiful." " I was sure it was azure." " It could be." "I think the manufacturers name their own colours." " Really?" " That's my impression." "One manufacturer's cool coral is another manufacturer's azure." "The bathroom is important." "Some say the kitchen is the most important,  but I think it's the bathroom." "What do you think?" "The bathroom is important." " Andreas?" " Yes!" "I don't like the white colour in the living room." " Couldn't you sleep?" " No, I woke up." "I had the strangest dream." "You were in it, and the man at the corner shop." "The priming takes time." "Of course you're a bit tired." "And a huge moose." "It came running down the street..." "I don't want you to talk like that." " I don't like it." " I'm explaining why I couldn't sleep." "I don't know what you're doing, but please stop it." "There's still quite a lot left to do." " Andreas?" " Yes?" "Could we put a bathtub in the bedroom?" " A bathtub?" " We could knock this wall down." "That could be nice." "I saw some nice rattan furniture in a magazine." "Don't you think rattan would be nice?" "Yes..." "You haven't seen any teabags, have you?" "No." "I'm a coffee man." " Want me to get some for you?" " No, there's no need." "Ingeborg?" "Would you like to go to the movies with me?" "It doesn't have to be the movies." "We could do that." " This is Anne Britt." " Hi, it's me." "I'll be a bit late to night." "You'll have to eat alone." " I have to run some errands in town." " OK." "I'll see you later." "Bye, then." "I'll walk you to the door." " I had a nice time tonight." " The film wasn't too good." " It wasn't that bad." " It was nice anyway." "Are you uncomfortable with me living with someone else?" "No." "We haven't done anything wrong." "And what if we did something?" "No." "It doesn't bother me." "Unless it bothers you." "I guess I should go to bed." " It's late." " And we have work tomorrow." "Can I see you again?" "Yes." "That would be nice." "We should probably get back to work." "I'll wait here a while." "So no one sees us together." " Wouldn't it be nice not to hide?" " It would." "Do you want anything?" "Cake?" "Yes, please." "That would be nice." "I've met someone else." " What do you mean?" " Another woman." "Why?" "I fell in love with someone at work." "I didn't plan to." " I thought we were happy." " We were." " But then I fell in love." " Why?" "I'm going to leave you." "We're having guests on Saturday." "I haven't found an exact time, but I wanted you to know." "Are you leaving before Saturday?" " I can stay until Saturday." " That would be good." "Ingeborg." "Ingeborg?" " Sorry." " Andreas?" "What are you doing here?" " Come down." " What?" "Come down." " I was already in bed." " Come with me." "I have a surprise." " I can't go out dressed like this." " You look terrific." "This was a nice surprise." "This isn't the surprise." "I've left Anne Britt." "I told her I was in love with someone else." "I had to." "So now we can move in together." " Aren't you happy?" " Well, yes..." "We don't have to meet in secret." "That's good." "I hope you didn't leave Anne Britt for me?" "Maybe I did it for me?" "It didn't feel right." "Not by Anne Britt or by you." "It felt wrong." "Is something wrong?" "I thought you would be happy." "I didn't know we had that kind of relationship." " A serious relationship." " No..." "Is there someone else?" " Who?" " Is that important?" " It's Lars Birger down in reception." " The fat one?" "He is just a little big." "And then there's Tom." "He lives in my building." "I don't see him that much." "It's no big deal." " And then there's Jens." " I'd rather not know." "I can't criticize you." "I was living with someone else when we met." "So I really can't say anything." " Are they important to you?" " Who?" " Lars Birger and the others?" " No." "But it's nice." "Would you dump them for me?" "I could do that." "It's nothing serious." " Would you do that?" " Yes." "But do you want to?" "We could find a place in town." "Would you like to see the dessert menu?" "Do you want to move in with me?" " We could do that." " But what do you really want?" "Am I more important to you than Lars Birger and the others?" "You're very nice." " And the others?" " They're very nice too." "But who do you prefer?" "I think everyone's nice." "But it would be nice to have a bigger place." "Three rooms, and maybe a bathtub." "At my place there's only a shower." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Nordby called and invited us to the go cart track on Saturday." " Go cart?" " On Saturday." "Do you want to?" "Yes, sounds nice." "We met in the men's room." "You complained that nothing tasted anything." "Nothing tasted any good." "You were quite loud." "Sorry." "You went on and on." "You talked about hot chocolate." "Sorry about that." "I've calmed down now." " Let me in." " Could you please leave?" " Let me in." " Do I have to?" "Yes." "I don't want to make any trouble." "Could you please leave now?" "You can't tell anyone about this." "I found it a couple of months ago." " Where does it come from?" " From that hole." " There's a small light." " Don't touch anything." "It could collapse." " You can't tell anyone." " Of course not." "Everything fine?" "You seem a bit uncomfortable." "Too much work?" "I miss so many things, Håvard." "The new lamps have arrived." "I miss seeing children." "And hot chocolate." "Nice and hot." "I was just thinking about children." "Do you remember what a baby looks like?" "I have to work late tonight." " If that's OK with you." " Of course." "I'm not sure how late I'll be." "Don't wait up." "OK." "You can't do this." "We'll get caught." "We'll get caught!" "You can't be here." "I think I smell something." " There's something there." " You have to go." "This is mine." " You have no right to be here." " What are you going to do about it?" " Did you smell something?" " Yes." "A nice smell?" "A nice smell." " That's enough." " Right." "The coffee?" " This is better." " Much better." "Hello." "Hello." "I need to talk to you." " We had to make certain changes." " Who's he?" " He's not half as good as you." " Am I fired?" "We don't to look at it like that." "Lots of people change careers." "I know an architect who started working in a cafe." "He was happy." "It's been nice working with you, Andreas." " Good luck." " Thank you." "Come here." "Hello!" "Hello?" " What's the matter?" " There's a smell, and we hear things." "It's nothing." "There was a leak, and I had to do some plastering." "There's nothing going on here." "I don't know what you mean." " We want to join in." " We have repaired the leak." " We want to join in." " You can come later." "I can smell something." "It was just a string of coincidences." "I'm not involved in this." "I suggested we leave it be, but he wanted to expand." "It wasn't my idea." "I like it here." "There's no need to take me as well." "You're free to go." "Most people are happy here, Andreas." "They think it's a nice city." "They have everything they need." "People are happy." "The majority of people are happy." "And we're proud of that." "Welcome." "The car is over there."
