"The Mountain" "How is it with the backpack?" "Is it heavy?" "Is it heavy?" "It's all right." "The coffee must be in your backpack." "Yes." "We do have more coffee, right?" "Is that not enough?" "I don't think so." "I'll have tea then." "You can have coffee." "Nah, it's all right." "I'll have tea." "Don't be silly." "At least we have enough food." "Since you took care of that." "This place looks good." "What do you think?" "Yeah, looks fine." "Was it this far last time as well?" "It took us four days." "Yeah, but we had a five-year-old with us then." "Have you packed the tent poles?" "Sure." "They should be wrapped inside the tent." "Why?" "So that you know where they are." "They're there." "Yes, but..." "Where are you going?" "Pee." "Do you know it can be done easier?" "Oh, yeah?" "I've always done it this way." "Are you gonna just watch, or will you help me?" "Sure." "Hold that corner tight." "The other corner." "Should I show you?" "Please do." "Solveig, it's just a tent." "Are you gonna cry because of that too?" "Too?" "Yes, too." "What do you mean, "too"?" "You cry for nothing." "It's not nothing." "What is it then?" "What is it?" "It's the way you just took the tent." "I took the tent?" "You just went and took it from me." "You asked me to help you." "I did not." "You..." "You were irritated that I was just watching, and you asked if I could help you." "Solveig?" "Where are you going?" "I was just going to throw away the food?" "No." "I just..." "I wanted..." "I thought we both wanted to go on this trip." "You said you'd leave me otherwise." "Dammit, can you wait?" "Well, get up then." "We don't have all the time in the world." "We do have all the time in the world." "What is it now?" "Nothing." "I can't go that fast." "You're only in the third month." "I jogged till the sixth month." "Good for you." "Solveig." "The air is so clear." "I think it's gonna snow soon." "No wonder we're the only ones here." "I think it's actually really nice." "Nice?" "Yeah." "And clear." "You already said that." "Isn't it time for a chocolate break?" "Take one more." "This is all we have left." "What's funny?" "I just remembered how Vetle ate his first chocolate." "Do you remember his face?" "The poor boy." "How long did we give him only organic food?" "What?" "Can we talk frankly?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Shoot." "Solveig." "Tell me..." "Is it the hormones?" "No, that's not it." "Don't you see what your problem is?" "My problem?" "You can't talk about Vetle." "He's been dead for two years." "I know that." "This trip won't bring him back." "I'm not trying to bring him back." "How long will you be reading?" "I'm going to bed." "Good night." "Nora?" "Why aren't you answering when I'm calling you?" "Can't I even take a shit in peace?" "You need 20 minutes for that?" "No, but..." "I was worried about you." "Answer me when I talk to you." "Goddammit!" "Hey!" "Can you pass me the salt?" "Sure." "Here you go." "I'm sorry." "It was wrong... not to answer you." "This is not easy for me." "But I'll go with you until we get there." "Where Vetle..." "Are you gonna take a bath?" "Of course." "It's snowing and the water's frozen." "Well?" "You have to wait." "Come on." "Yeah, just hold on a bit." "Come on now." "Just wait a minute." "Just... come on already." "Wait." "All right." "One, two and... three!" "Four?" "Would you have jumped in?" "Sure, had you not chickened out." "I chickened out?" "Yeah." "I took the initiative." "I think that's enough." "I missed this." "Haven't you?" "Yeah." "What?" "No..." "Nothing." "Yes." "I was young" "Oh, god!" "Do you remember that?" "Yeah." "How did it go?" "I knew everything" "Laughed about everything I was told" "I never wanted to fall in love" "But that was before I met you" "And forgot all about time and place" "I wanted to see" "My first love" "Meant more to me than you can ever imagine" "My first love" "I gave to you" "The only one I had in me" "That was long ago." "Was it?" "Tomorrow is Friday." "TV night, tacos..." "Shouldn't we go home?" "What is it we're doing here anyway?" "I thought it could help us." "There are just bad memories here." "That we never talk about." "As soon as I say Vetle, you go quiet." "That's not true." "It is." "Not always." "What are you so afraid of?" "He was your son." "He was your son too." "What do you mean?" "It was so steep..." "I don't get it." "What don't you get?" "What can't you understand?" "Nuts?" "We could stay here... if you want." "Do you want to?" "It'll be dark soon." "That's right." "Yeah." "If we camp here, we can get up early tomorrow." "Do you want that?" "Yeah, sure." "If you want that." "I mean, sure." "Then we'll do that." "All right." "So..." "So?" "Do you want to tell me something?" "About Vetle, I mean." "Do you remember how he got burned?" "Oh, not that!" "He yelled horribly." "Try something else." "You were so damn brave." "You were." "You... lifted him up and threw me the car keys." "Maternal instinct." "I was driving." "You were sitting next to me with him on your lap." "My god." "We seemed calm on the outside, but inside we were freaking out." "And were both singing him something." "He was just lying there and looking at you." "He knew you'd always be there for him." "I'll go brush my teeth." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm not feeling completely... all right yet." "Don't do that." "Can I not hug you?" "I don't want that." "You don't want what?" "If you don't come with me, we can't be together anymore." "I've already heard that." "Yeah, you have." "Are you serious?" "All right." "I'm getting a bit scared, Nora." "I am..." "I'm afraid of losing you now." "I've screwed up so much in my life." "I've let down so many people who mean a lot to me." "My grandmother, you... and myself." "I've broken everything that could have been good." "But you know that." "I've tried to destroy this relationship so many times." "But it didn't work." "I couldn't handle the fact that someone loves me, because..." "I didn't know what to do." "I felt so... stupid... because I didn't deserve it." "Well..." "I remember so clearly..." "When I brushed my teeth and you dyed your hair..." "I cried because I realized I was happy, and had been for a while." "Then Vetle was born." "We were a family." "Can you imagine?" "A family." "Do you remember how Emma and Vetle decided they had to sing" "at the Christmas party in kindergarten?" "Baa Baa Black Sheep" "Even you had to cry back then." "And now we'll have another baby, and I..." "I'm so scared to be alone." "You won't be alone." "Why have you never stroked my belly?" "You're only in the third month." "I stroked yours right after you got pregnant." "Ready?" "Shall we?" "His thermos is still there." "Why did you let him climb so far?" "He stood right here." "I looked at you, and when I turned back, he was over there." "I didn't let him." "You were irresponsible." "But I didn't let him..." "He wasn't actually your son." "I'm just trying to understand..." "Vetle was my son." "Vetle was our son." "You rarely showed that it was so." "Let go of me." "Take that back!" "Toilet." "Number 1 or 2?" "Why?" "Because I have the paper." "Throw it here." "You're going to smoke." "As if you care." "The porridge is ready, if you want." "What do you mean, "if you want"?" "If you're hungry." "I see." "I feel like I don't know you anymore." "I'm sorry, but this is not gonna work if I'm on my own." "I have tried." "All right." "Maybe you're right." "But still..." "So it's over?" "I don't know." "May I ask you something?" "Do you remember Vetle, our son?" "If I remember him?" "Describe him to me." "He..." "He..." "Which one is mine?" "Nora!"
