"He didn't soil his pants, did he?" "Fuck!" " Did you try to wake him?" " I'm trying since 7AM." "Where are you going?" "I'll wake this brat once for all." "What is it?" "It's May 18th, and you've soiled your pants." "No, that's just vomit." "I vomited into my pants, because I thought it was a bag." " OK." " Yeah." "Needs some cloth, maybe." " Yes, please." " Yes, please." " Simultaneously." " Yeah, you owe me a Coke." " No, you owe me a Coke." " Listen, I've got a cloth here." "Oh, fuck." " Sorry." " Fuck." " Shit, I feel bad." " It smells horrible." "May I..." "Is there a chance for me to take a shower, maybe?" "No, right." " I'll go home, then." " You should do that." "Thanks a lot." "The murderer, the victim, and the victim's victim." "Malin?" "Is everything OK?" "It's just so terribly sad." " What?" " her leg is destroyed." "And he comes riding, and looks so great." " Isn't this lovely?" " No, it's not." "Later, he dumps her and sleeps with someone else." "Rewrite it." "You're the author." "I can't do it." "He has a will of his own." " Trond Espen Seim?" " Yes." "It's like he can't help himself." "He collects pussy like others collect stamps." " Trond Espen Seim?" " The Rolls Royce of the Norwegian penises." "The Eiffel Tower of crotches." "The cabaret of horniness." " OK." "I'm going in now." " He's in there." " Not Trond Espen Seim?" " No, Ernst." "He looked serious." " Hi." " Hi." " Am I disturbing?" " No." "I don't have an appointment with you?" "You know that the therapy...?" "You're done." "Yes, yes." "Fighting fish." "Won't let anyone..." "I'm just guessing here, but is something bothering you?" "You're not quite your usual, diabolic self." "No, I..." "You have to look after Benedikt." "I got 4 text messages from him last night." "All after 5AM." "Nothing wrong with that, but it's happening more and more the last few years." "The last one read: "I'm making a mess." "Looking up at a glass table." "No idea who I am." "Hohoho." "You should've been here." "Soon all will be quiet."" "That's not good, but..." "Ten minutes later, he leaves me a message." "But he's just crying." "It's my fault." "I never wanted to be a dad." "I had a vasectomy at 19." "When I met Benedikt, or his mother..." "You know his father." "He's utterly, fucking useless." "I told myself that there's a tiny little human." "I'll never lie to him." "And that's how it was." "I became the only role model he ever had." "In the beginning, he tried to be like me, so I'd like him." "So he wouldn't be left again." "He was just this tiny, little human." "He could have been anything." "And then he became the worst in me." "Benedikt is hardly the worst in you." "Far from it." "If you're going to feel sorry for yourself, then go somewhere else." "Call him, if you're so worried." "Call?" "He won't listen to me." "I'm everything he hates in himself." "Thanks for your help." " Hi." " Hi." "New?" "Just something I picked up." "You didn't have to come." "Daddy's here." "Where are you going?" "Me?" "I'm going to have sex." "Lots, I hope." " With whom?" " Tom something, from Lillestrom." "Or 2Tom4, as he calls himself online." " Was there anything else, Benedikt?" " Why are you...?" "I thought..." " What?" " Really, Mia." "You can't sleep with strangers you meet online." "Nobody does that." "I can't believe you just said that." "I know a little bit about him." "More than you usually do." "For one thing, he's not a short,   disheveled asshole in a tarp." "He's 21,   a competitive swimmer." "Loves having sex for a long time." " Mia, please." " Don't." "Perfect." "I changed the lock, by the way." "Mia..." " You're leaving?" " Sure." "How did it go in there?" "He looked a little sad." "Let's talk about it another time." "Maybe never." "By the way, I've canceled all appointments, rescheduled them to next week." " But that's my job." " Yes." "So, what did you tell them?" "I said, my secretary disappeared in a perverted Jane Austen world." "Sure, you said that." "You did?" "There, you can come out now." " Thanks." " Thanks a lot." "You smoke?" "Shit, you can't smoke in here." "The room's on my name." " Satisfied?" " Is something wrong?" "Not at all." "Why?" "I don't know..." "you just seemed to be a little sore." " Thanks." " Nice to have met you." " You're good." " Do you think so?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "So..." " I don't think so." " What do you mean?" "It was very nice in several aspects, but that's all." " We could..." " No, we can't." " Thank you, Tom." "Drive carefully." " I ride my bicycle, so..." "Take care." " Crank up the volume." " Yeah." "It's damn good music." "Where's the downbeat in this?" " Downbeat?" " The downbeat." "In the music." "Is it...?" "One-two-three-one-two..." "Heyyy." " Why did you do that?" " It's not the first time I drive people here." "You won't come in there with this bottle." "But I do." "I know the management." "Papa, I'm coming home!" " Is this Benedikt?" " Yes." " Is this where the party is?" " Are you checking in,   or is this a party?" " The latter." "Come to papa." " Look." "Want some?" " Swedish hooch?" "Swedish booze." "You start out like this,   you're reducing the drug to a drug." "Come on, Benedikt." "Pedal the metal." "Rum." " Jamaica." "Cognac." " France." "If we're gonna party, let's do it for real." " I love geography." "Say "stop."" " Stop!" " Good choice!" "Columbia." " Yeah!" "Excellent choice." " Why did you come here?" " Things got kind of messy." "I had no place to go." "You're welcome here any time." "But you won't get any help." "We all have to handle life on our own." "You're born alone, and you die alone." "The only thing you can give your kids are tools to deal with reality." "What do you mean by that?" "That I'm ultimately..." "I'm a little horny." "Fuck." "Fuck." "I saw I called you a bunch of times last night." "Sorry, I can't remember a shit." "You can call me whenever you want." "Should we take the party elsewhere?" "Is there a particular place you had in mind?" " Ecstasy." " Oi, yeah, yeah." " Don't take all." " No." "I think I know a perfect spot." " But you can't wear that." " OK." " Take it off." " Huh?" "Shit." "I remember wanting that when I was little." " Now you've got it." " Huh?" "Put it on." "Turn around." "Turn around." "Fuck." "That's good." "Damn nice." "Fuck, Benedikt." "I'm entirely fucked up." " Is that the ecstasy kicking in?" " Must be the booze." "But there are people working here." "It won't be good for them to see me now." " Then we'll just stay here." " No, no, no." "You're a young man in the prime of life." "You have to try your wings." "Fly away, my son." " Are you sure?" " Very." "Daddy, I..." "That was nice." "Sure it was nice." "Yes..." " You." " Huh?" "I love you." " He'll be asleep soon." " Yes." " Christmas dinner?" " Belatedly, but yes." "Any particular occasion?" "Let's just say last Christmas was on the sad side." "This should balance things out." "This is a lot nicer." "That's how things should be." " That's what it is." " Yes, but always." " It could be like this forever." " You think so?" "As long as we take care of this moment, it'll always be there." "Like a postcard in time." "It'll be a yardstick for how we want things to be." "But you won't always be this cheerful, Dag." "You will revert to the quarrelsome misanthrope now and then." "Not if we don't run out of bacon and salt." "And maybe candles." "I think I'm about to become very fond of you." "That suits me perfectly." "That's the first time in 20 years I can say that." "I don't think I deserve it, but..." "You do." " Aren't you going to open?" " No." " It might be important." " No." "It's the world, and it has no business in here." "Fuck it." " Hi." " Hi." "What are you on?" "You look insane." "But I'm happy." "Very happy!" "What's this?" "A backpack?" "Is this a joke, or important?" "That backpack doesn't hide the chaos in your eyes." "I'm going on a trip." "I had nowhere else to go." "Mia is cheating on me, and Ernst is tripping on ecstasy." "He had to stay in his office." "He more or less lives there." " And the backpack is a backpack." " You're pretty far gone." "Lie down, then." "Come on." " Come in." " Just a couple of hours." "We indulged rather freely." "I don't feel safe among people." "Couple of hours." "We'll be landing." "In a dark pub." "We?" "It's just you and me here." " And the backpack!" " Fine." "Can you keep it down, you think?" "This has been a really good day." "I don't want you to ruin it." " OK?" " OK." " Who was it?" " Another edition of Benedikt." "And his new best friend, a backpack." " I'm not going to ask." " Don't." "He'll be asleep soon." " Fuck!" "I told you to be quiet." " It's not us." "What is it, Dag?" "Are you ill?" " Hi." " Hi." "I'm sorry." "I really tried to tell you." "I wanted to tell you in...   a more elegant way than this, but..." "You didn't want to talk to me." "It's mine...?" "I'm not demanding anything of you, Dag." "I didn't even ask you if you wanted him." "I just wanted you to know about it, OK?" "You've become a daddy, Dag?" "Huh?" " Hi." "Eva." " Trine." " And this is Leon." " OK." "This is Marius." "Are you...?" "Yes, I suppose we are?" "Yes." " And Leon is...?" " He's hers..." "Yes..." "I'll check on him." "Can I get you a drink?" "Soda, or juice?" " Soda would be good." " Yes, soda is good." "Very good." " Can you bring one...?" " Sure." "Well, then." " How old is he?" " Four months on Friday." "There you go." " He's tiny, this Marius." " Yes." " Would you like to hold him for a bit?" " No, that's all right." "Why didn't you say anything?" "I was planning to, but you disappeared to rehab." "When you came out, I didn't want to scare you back inside." "You had 9 months to say something." "Whenever I saw you, you were either hammered or angry so I never dared." "I'm sorry." "I just didn't dare say anything." "Trine..." "Or Eva, first." "I..." "I need a minute." "Dad, Dag." "Fuck it." "Yeah." "Whatever." " Now what?" " What do you mean?" "What do I do now?" "Stop that thing." "What's waiting out there now?" "The world." "What are you doing?" "It's not dangerous, Dag." "I'm here."
