"The story so far..." "In Knight Valley the King had controlled the seasons with a magical gauntlet." "With it he could make snow, so they got to celebrate Christmas." "They had a strange rule here that they had to have snow to celebrate Christmas." "But what does the gauntlet look like?" "Is it black?" "Black?" "No." "It's shiny, made of the finest silver." "Ten years ago the gauntlet disappeared, so they hadn't had Christmas since then." "There are some who say that she had deceived us and stolen it." "I created a kind of snow making machine and got it to snow in the town square." "When they asked me if I would be king, I said yes." "It will not only be Christmas." "It'll be the best Christmas you've ever had." "And then I got to stay at the castle." "I asked the King's henchman... to decorate the empty rooms." "I planned to bring my family here." "I shall get to decorate?" "There's a little girl, two larger children and two adults." "Imagine celebrating Christmas at a castle!" "What a surprise it would be." "I'm so glad you're here." "Then it will be Christmas!" "Could it get any better than this?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "7th December" " Your Majesty is awake." " Where is Fnugg and Skare?" "They are probably working with mom and dad." "If Your Majesty permits, then I have some suggestions for decoration, in connection to the influx of minions like..." " Huh?" " The decorating of guest rooms." "We must get a move on, but we'll do it." "This room could go in ocher yellow or perhaps in royal blue." "And I want to have borders on the walls of mandarin or Clementine." "And I'll just use natural fabrics, pigeon feathers or sparrow down." " Sparrow down?" " Yes." "It's the little down that sparrows have on the front of their chest." "This room has kept me awake all night." "The girls room..." "But then I thought to myself, girls room..." "Imagine on the 16th December when you have created snow..." "Imagine the landscape outside, white as far as the eye can see." " Think how nice it will be with pink." " What did you say?" " The white landscape..." " No, before that." "On 16th December, when King Kevin has created snow..." "The King will create snow for Christmas." "That's why King Kevin was elected king, to make it snow." " Of course." " And everyone's rejoicing." "Even the barber said to me..." "No, now this room speaks to me." "This room says: "Satin."" "King Kevin, wait a minute." "This room says: "Satin."" "His Majesty, is there anything I can help you with?" "I'm pretty new as king." "I've been thinking about creating snow on the 16th December." "Since it's not snowing outside, I've made snow here." "Smart, huh?" "Have you seen one of these before?" "Scissors." "A fantastic instrument." "So has there been people asking about the snow?" "There were some who wondered how much snow there was going to be." "His Majesty doesn't need to hold back on the snow." "It hasn't snowed here in ten years." "So people want to have lots of snow." " Lots?" " A lot of snow." "Just let it come down day after day after day." "There you are, Your Majesty." "Mira?" " Mira, you must come in and eat." " I want to eat here." " Are you upset, Mira?" " Lamarr is so stupid." "Lamarr doesn't think I'm a princess." "It's not so easy, this." "You can eat out here if you want to." "I'll get the food." "Something so strange." "Do you think these are magic boxes?" " Come on." " Maybe they live in here." "No, they don't live here." "But perhaps we can find something to eat?" "Yes, I'm so hungry!" "Are you real knights?" "Are you coming to get me?" "No, wait!" "Come back!" "Oops!" " There are two Knights out there." " What did you say." "Two knights out there on horseback." "Maybe they've heard about the princess that lives here?" " Now Your Highness eat." " I'm not hungry!" "Take off your hat." "And mittens." "Then you sit and eat a little here." "There really were knights out there." "Who are you?" "I helped you with the rope the other day." " You look great." "Is there a carnival?" " No." "We've just had a party." " Are you King Sølve?" " Just Sølve, thanks." "I've heard rumours that you're looking for your snow gauntlet here." " Yes, that may well be." " But you haven't found it?" "No, had I found it, I'd have gone back to the castle, and created snow so that everyone could enjoy Christmas" "This tether is the only way I can venture into the forest." "Why do you think it's in there?" "You don't think that the Queen has taken it?" "No, no." "No, no." "One way or another, it was taken, and I can't find peace... until I find out where it is." "But it's not so easy to find something that is so small and black." " Black?" "I thought it was shiny." " Yes, it's made of silver." "But it may have been out here for ten years, so it's probably not so shiny anymore." "Peder." "Their horses are so small that they're hidden inside the carriage." "Good morning, honorable knights." "Good morning, beautiful maiden." "Ante, come here." "Stop." "It's magic." "The whole place is magical." " Out for a ride, I see." "Good day." " Good day." " What's this?" " Golden potato chips." " Is there gold inside this?" " Golden potato chips." " Inside it?" " Inside it." " No." " They're golden potato chips." "You have a lot of weird sausages here." "Do you want the menu?" "Are you having anything to drink?" "What do you want?" " I want everything." " Everything?" "Yes, I realize that you may get hungry when you're knight." " They celebrate Christmas here." " Christmas?" "Do you see what they have on the Christmas tree?" "There are silver balls." "That's enough entertainment there." "Now you must pay." " Hello." " Hello." "Hello, fair maiden." "So nice that you stopped by." "Do you need a room?" " Do you want a room for the night?" " Yes we do." " There's a double room." " Oh, it's double?" " And so I need a credit card." " Did you get a double room?" "We could just take the credit card afterwards." "Then you can in the room meanwhile and change." "Take a shower perhaps?" "Shower... yes." "But, fair maiden..." "where is our double room?" "It's up the stairs and then to the right." " Thank you." "You're welcome." "We'll perhaps see you later?" "Alright." " Maybe we should go to the doctor again?" " No." "We have to figure this out." "We can't have you like this." " I know." " Is there anything you haven't told me?" "No." "Have you been given something at school?" "Something you may be allergic to?" "No, I just want to rest a bit." "You get some rest." "My girl." " Was it fun?" " Yes, absolutely fantastic." " That's good." "Did you get it finished?" " What?" "The gingerbread house." "Yes, almost." " Eiril is very sweet." " Mom!" "Did you remember to bring your pajamas home?" " Pajamas?" " Yes." " Pajamas." " I had pajamas?" "Didn't Eiril give them to you?" "Yes, she did." "Your mom came with your pajamas yesterday." "She wondered if we had fun." "Did we then?" " Where were you?" " I had to arrange something important." "I had to lie to your mother, Kevin." "By the way, I've baked the gingerbread house and delivered it to school." "I'm sorry." "Subtitles by Squashy Hat (2015)"
