"The story so far..." "Peder was given the gingerbread castle by me." "So I could get the gauntlet." "But..." "Peder?" "Did you make this wonderful house?" " Yes." "Some gingerbread houses are so great that one could almost wonder, if it's the children who made them." "The King's henchman had used resin to glue together the castle." "And apparently it wasn't allowed." "It tastes absolutely terrible." "This here is a disqualification." "So Peder lost the competition, and Eiril and I won instead." " Did you make this house yourself?" " No, Eiril made it." "I only helped." "And it was nice, because then Eiril and I were friends again." " Do we have to kiss?" " No, not if you don't want to." "A great surprise." "A huge thing that we can all have together." "When I went to Peder's afterwards to retrieve the gauntlet, he wouldn't give it to me." " You got the gingerbread house." " That gingerbread house was disqualified." "The gauntlet is mine." "Can't you just give it to me?" "In the end I challenged Peder to duel." " We'll fight for it." "With swords." " You haven't a chance." "How could I be so stupid?" "I couldn't fence." "Fortunately, I knew of someone who could help me." "Skare was very good at fencing." "Would I manage to learn it tomorrow?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "10th December" " Is everything ready?" " Yes, the roof is newly polished." " And everyone's invited." " Soon the snow will come too." "It'll be a belated Christmas we'll never forget." "Think, dear friends." "Tonight the roof will shine for the first time in ten years." "King Kevin, he got..." " Have you seen Kevin?" " No." "Where is he going?" " Hello." "Got some spare time?" " Can you teach me how to fence?" "I was thinkingt about the demonstration." "Maybe I could join in?" " But, it's for you, not with you." " Please." "Otherwise I have to be at the castle doing mundane royal stuff." "When I put my hand like this here, hit it away as fast as you can." " Ready?" " Yes." "When the warm air that we've had..." "What did you say?" "Hello?" "Huh?" "Where are you?" "Are you here?" "Are you there?" "Huh?" "Hello?" "What should I do?" "What do you mean?" "I'm called Anti." "Who are you?" "Hello?" "Did you see that?" "He's gone!" "He was here!" "Where is he?" "He was here before." "Had a completely empty gaze." "And now he's gone." "Is he there?" "Perhaps it's him?" " Hi." " Hello." "You really need to pay now." " Pay?" " Yes." "We're the knights." "Knights never pay for food or shelter." " Pardon?" " It's your duty to help us." "Many see it as an honour to help knights." "You can pay by card." "Oh right..." "Okay." "Wait a moment." "Be right back." "We'll just..." "Yes." "You're welcome." "Now this Knight game is beginning to get a bit long in the tooth." "Yes, it is." "Here." "Take them." "Do you want the black one too?" "Just stay here." "I'll come back soon." " We have to get out of here." " Yeah." "Get the sack." "Come on!" "Yes, that's right..." "Let's see..." "Gall grease" "Yes..." "A tiny crab." "Now." "Let's see..." "Come on, gauntlet." "Come to me." "Come on, then." " Come on." " What's the point without swords?" "You must be able to do this before we start using swords." "Once you've done this enough times, you'll understand why it's important." " Important to learn how to dance?" " Fnugg, come here." "Attack him." " Him?" " Yes, you think you can manage?" " But he's so small." " No, come on." "Okay." " Honesty, courage and sacrifice!" " Good." "What Fnugg just did, is the same as we've been practicing all day." "Over there you might be king." "But here you're just a poor student." "I'm sorry." " Do the same with the sword." " Ok." " Are you ready?" " Yes." "There we have it." "Yes!" "There, yes." "Let's see..." "Dunder and bile, thunder and death!" "Let it happen, let there be snow!" "Let there be snow!" "Snow!" "Damn gauntlet!" "Good!" "You're coming on." "There's one thing to you must know." " What?" " The most important thing of all." " You must always use your head." " Can you use your head to fence?" "No, but you can always solve the problem by using your head." "You don't need a sword for it." "What if you've tried everything, then?" "If you solve your problem with the sword, it just gets worse." "Whoever is beaten, gets even angrier and will take revenge." "Then you get the problem back." "Even bigger and worse." "Ante, wait!" "Where's the cave?" " I don't remember." " Brilliant." "This here is brilliant!" " I think it's cold." " I agree." "Maybe we should go and find somewhere we can warm ourselves?" "We could go down to the settlement." "We could do that." "All right." "But the horses must stay here." "Come on." " Here." "We can go into here." " There are so many kids here." " Maybe they live here?" " They don't live here." "They live in the magical houses down there." "Come on inside." "Help me a little!" "Not there!" "Ouch!" "Get the silver." "Get the silver!" "Once there was a treasure that belonged to the good knight." "He lived a long time ago, and he received the treasure... because he created peace among the warlike people." "Then he created the Endless Forest to protect the treasure." "But he couldn't protect it from the envy and greed, among his own people." "So he made a silver roof from the treasure." "And he said:" ""This treasure belongs to us all."" ""Here it shall lie, so that everyone can see it, and no one can take it."" "Let's sing our song." " Dad, you have to come out and see!" " What's going on?" "It's absolutely amazing." "Come on!" " It's absolutely amazing." " It hasn't shimmered like that in ten years." " What's happening out there?" " There's a whole bunch of people." "It looks like they're standing and looking at something." "Mom, did you see?" "It's absolutely amazing!" " What's that?" " The silver glimmer." " It's just the northern lights." " It's the silver glimmer." "Come on!" "Can't you see I'm busy?" " Are you crying, Mom?" " I'm fine..." "I've heard you crying at night." "I'm sorry." "My darling..." "I don't want you to cry." "I want you to be happy." "What can I do to make you happy?" "You can hold me." "My girl." "We'll be alright." "Peder?" "I don't want to fight you." "Can't you give me the gauntlet?" "It's mine." "It was me who found it." "Are you chickening out?" "It only gets worse if one of us wins." " Wimp." " Can't we share it?" "You get it a bit, and I get it a bit." "I've learned the Hungarian handcuffs." "I can't wait to test it on you." "I'll crush you!" "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
