"Can you see me?" "Can you hear me?" "I am the fir tree." "Around me stood all the others." "They were quite tall." "But I had decided to grow taller and more magnificent than them." "But let us begin at the beginning." "At the time when I was born." "Look." "That could be me." "Imagine floating like that." "But I was brought into the world the hard way." "Then I was kidnapped   and taken to another place, away from the others." "But it made me special from the very beginning." "THE FIR TREE" "Hello, hi." "Here I am." "Hello." "Hello." "Okay, I'm fine down here." "I was born with the most exquisite growing pains." "My insides creak and crack." "Oops ..." "Ah well, it'll be just fine." "Can it really be that you do'nt notice me at all?" "Hey." "Yes, please, come closer." "Don't you think I'm magnificent?" "Oh, you're busy." "And so are you, fox." "I'd like having your legs and feet." "Then I could go with you." "But I can't." "Yes, raven, I see you." "You're proud of your feathers." "But I'm a tree." "And one day my branches will be long enough for you to sit on." "How's the wind up there?" "Enjoy the attention." "Shortly, I'll be the object of everyone's adoration." "Argh, again?" "Okay, I'm fine." "Hey, what now?" "Be careful." "I spent years trying to get these needles to grow." "Stop it." " Ouch!" "It stings." " I told you to be careful." "Are you listening at all?" "Where are you?" "Albert?" "Where are you hiding?" "Where could he be hiding?" "It's completely impossible to find him." "Please, put me back down." "Put me back down, please." " Dad, look at that tree." " Thank you." "You can't hide behind such a small tree." " It's all broken." " We can straighten it." "Please, stop that." " You can straighten it." " But it's broken." "I want it." "What's going on?" " Are you coming, Albert?" " Yes, I'm coming." "Where are we going?" "Are we going in the right direction?" "I don't think these trees have had time to properly admire me." " Dad?" " Yeah." "I think this is it." "Is this where I'll be from now on?" "Huh?" "Aren't these trees a little too old?" " Do you prefer this place?" " Yes, it's a very good place." " It'll get both sun and rain here." " I don't want to stay here." " But it's not raining now." " Maybe it will." " How will you water it?" " Yes, how will you water me?" "There." "That's fine." "What are you doing?" "Peeing on me?" " Ready?" " For what?" "Ouch..." "Come back!" "Don't you want to see me grow?" "I must grow." "Grow even bigger." "Then he will come back." "This is only a transition." "Ah, I'm feeling it now." "I'm growing bigger." "Yes, finally!" "If I could just see myself right now." "I think I must be very beautiful." "Hello?" "I have no need for darkness right now." "It's not that I'm scared of the dark." "I am not." "Not at all." "Absolutely not." "But the days are finally getting longer." "Oh, no." "What is it you're supposed to do?" "1... 2... 3..." " Let's start with that one." " With me?" "Hey!" "I'm right here." " This will make a fine mast." " A fine mast?" "What's that?" "A mast?" "I want to be a mast, too." "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" "I'd make a fine little mast!" "What's that?" "What's ..." "Hey!" "No!" "No!" "No, no!" "Oh, no, look at my top!" "Winter again." "The usual." "Snowflakes that tickle me." "Come on." "Stop it." "Snowflakes, stop it!" "It tickles." " What are you doing in my forest?" " What?" " Did I startle you?" " No!" "Or ... yes." "So what do you think of me?" " You've grown very beautiful." " Do you think so?" "Dad?" "It's this one!" " Isn't it a bit small?" " Too small?" " No." " No." "Not the least." "When we put the star on, it will be perfect." " Isn't this the tree you planted?" " Yes." "I couldn't see it for all the trees." "You'll make a fine Christmas tree." "A what?" "A Christmas tree?" "A Christmas tree." "Yes." "I'm going to be a Christmas tree." "Ouch." "Argh!" "This really hurts." "I can take it." "I can take it." "I'm going to be a Christmas tree." "Argh." "What is a Christmas tree anyway?" "Come on." " Be careful, dad." " Yes, careful." "I've cracked enough." "We have to get it in." "It certainly is hot in here." "Is it summer already?" "What's the fox doing here?" "And the owl?" "Why are you standing so still?" " That's right." "Up I go!" " Is it straight?" " I guess not." " No." "We must secure it." "You want me to stand in this?" "Am I doing it right?" "Is this okay?" " There!" "It looks great." " I've never been a Christmas tree." "Wow." "Can I carry one of those?" " I can't wait." " Neither can I." "What is happening?" "What?" "Hey, hey!" "Ouch." "Wow." "Look how beautiful I am." "I can't believe this is me!" " We did a nice job." " Yes." ""Christmas time is here ..."" "Well-well!" "Is there anything I can do?" "Uhm ... isn't it getting hot in here?" "Perhaps I could come outside for a bit of fresh air." "Help." "Ouch, ouch." "Help, help." "Look at me." "Look at me!" "This can't be right, can it?" "Water." "I need water." "Now!" "Stop." "Stop!" "Ah ..." "Thank you." " There's no damage." " No Damage?" "!" "I got burned." "So, how about unwrapping some presents now?" "The forest was quieter." " It was." " Like that." "Right in the midst of it." "What's that?" " Once I was a small tree like that." " You can't do that." " Can I join in?" " Sure, I can!" " Is there anything I can do?" " Let me do it for you." "No way." "I think I could be the world's best Christmas tree." " I got it back!" " Yes, you got it back." " Too bad, huh?" " We'd better get to it." " You have a long day tomorrow." " I don't want to go to bed." " Come on." " Okay." "What now?" "Tomorrow, I will look absolutely amazing." "Goodnight." "Can you hear me?" "Can you?" "Can you see me?" "No, no." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Yes." "I look dashing, don't you think?" "You look like me now." "If you want a bedtime story, now's the time." "I'm coming." "See you tomorrow." "Goodnight." "I will now enjoy every second of this." "Hey, hey ..." "Am I going somewhere?" "Perhaps to an even bigger living room?" "Hi, wanna give me a hand?" " Are you taking out the tree already?" " Not all the way out, I hope?" "Christmas is over." "Yes, but still." "We're having people over, so there's no room for it." "Perhaps you could plant me out, so I could get some air in the meantime?" "I'd much prefer that to standing here." "I think I would." "Hello?" "Guys?" "Hello?" "Okay." "I'll stay here." "Albert?" "Have you seen the scythe?" " What?" " Have you seen the scythe?" "Finally!" "Did the guests leave?" "Watch out." " Dad?" " Yes." "What about the tree?" "Is it going outside?" "Outside?" "Of course I'll go outside!" " No, we'll wait." " Oh, okay." "Wait?" "But ..." "Oh, perhaps they'll take me out last." "Hi." "Would you like to know where I'm from?" "I'm from the forest." "It was quite lovely in the forest, when the sun shone, and it was warm." "Oh, how I look forward to being back in the forest." "There!" "Finally!" "Hey, hey!" "What's this?" "It hurts a little." "How bright it is here." "Dad!" "What are you doing?" "I'm tidying." "But it's my tree." "You're right." " Well, then you get to help out." " Yes." "Help out with what?" " Don't cut into your leg." "Be careful." " Yeah, okay." "What uhm ...?" " Goodbye." " Goodbye?" "Goodbye how?" "Aren't we going to ..." "Weren't we supposed to ..." "Can you hear me?" "Can you see me?" "Is it really over?" "Over-over?" "!" "I should have enjoyed life, while I had the chance." "Subtitles:" "Tina Goldberg Dansk Video Tekst"
