"BUZZ ALDRIN, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN ALL THE CONFUSION?" "I was born in 1969." "The same night as man walked on the moon for the first time." "Remember Buzz Aldrin?" "He was the second man on the moon." "Just nineteen minutes after Neil Armstrong." "But a lot happened in those nineteen minutes." "The world got to hear Armstrong say:" ""That's one small step for man;   one giant leap for mankind. "" ""To Mattias from uncle Tobben."" "I've been interested in astronauts since I was a kid." "And one interested me more than any other:" "Buzz Aldrin." "Almost everyone has forgotten him now." "No one thinks about the ones who are number two." "Not everyone wants to run a company." "Not everyone wants to be a top athlete." "Some just want to be the audience." "Some want to be a cog in the wheel." "Not because one has to, but because one wants to." "Simple mathematics." "It is important to have a role model." "Incredibly cool." "Here." "You'll be the king of the school dance in that costume." "Why not Neil Armstrong?" "I didn't have his suit." "But Armstrong was the first, wasn't he?" "It's Armstrong we remember." "The one who landed on that cheese" "How can you be so certain that they were really on the moon?" "I'm pretty sure that the whole thing was staged   in a studio in Hollywood." "What?" "Are you wasting your voice in a nursery?" "You sing a thousand million times better than I do." " What?" " You do." "Alright." " Faroe Islands are in the bag." " Great." " You gotta come with us." " Yeah." " You gotta!" " Yeah, right." "The organizers will cover everything." "The trip, the stay, the beer..." "Everything." "Just get into the car, zip, to Bergen,   zip, to the Faroe Islands, headlining, you're the sound man." "I want to try to put together a vacation with Helle." "No problem, she can come along." "We've had so little time together." "Helle and I need a vacation." "I'm in one of the most important bands of our time, Perkleiva." "It's gonna be such a fine concert on the Faroe Islands." "I need a sound man who can handle our stuff." "Check it out." "This'll get you to change your mind." "The new demo recording." "Good?" "What?" "The world's best band, agree." "But I really ought to be working." "But think about it." " Talk to Helle." " I can always think about it." "Come on, don't be such a drag." "Am I going to die now?" "No, heaven forbid..." "You're just getting a little greenery in here." "They only bring flowers when we're going to die." "No, there are so many who get flowers." "So that's not it." "And such a large  arrangement for me." "They're tulips and trumpet lilies." "Thank you for taking your time   to sit with me." "Taking your time to talk to me." "I've got plenty of time." "Odd Karsten Tveit, you are with us from Skopje, Macedonia." "Three weeks have now passed since Nato started the bombing." "What do you know about the last day's bombing?" "Thank you." "Take care." "It's been nice having you come by." "Yeah." "But it's expensive   in the long run." "We absolutely don't think you take more than you have to, but..." "Yeah, since once in a while old people,   they die." "And well, it's come to..." "We've decided to shift over to less expensive flowers." "So..." " From..." " Rimi?" "Rema." "Today, journalists from Nato countries were ordered   to leave Serbia immediately." "The reporter Odd Karsten Tveit  has been staying in Pristina, the capitol of Kosovo." "We were in contact with him two hours ago..." " This is Helle." " Hi." " You home?" " Yeah." "So, you feel like doing something tonight or...?" "Go to the movies or something like that?" "I've got to leave for the gym soon, then I'm meeting Reidun." "In the evening." "It's been a while since I've gotten together with her..." "That's fine." "We can figure something out tomorrow." "Or the weekend." "Or...?" "Yeah, sure, maybe..." "Yeah." "Then..." "Then we can talk..." "Love you." "Yeah, me too." "Hi." " Your name's Mattias, isn't it?" " Yes." "Helle." "What are you supposed to be?" "Buzz Aldrin." "Who's that?" "Second man on the moon." "Apollo 11." "1969." "Isn't that an ice hockey mitt?" "Yeah." "I'm going to be Majka." "The girl from outer space." "The one from children's tv." "I really ought to change." "Of course." " Maybe we could meet again?" " Yes." " In outer space." " We have something going there..." "Sorry..." "But I didn't sleep last night." "So I slept this morning when I should have been at work." "Then I woke up when I should be going home again..." "That's alright, you're the boss." "So I'm eight hours behind, if you know what I mean..." "Yes." "In other words I got totally hammered." "Hi!" "Just in the middle of baking some rolls." "Hello." " Great to see you." " You too." "Yes." "Yeah." "Thank you." "And Helle?" " What about her?" " Where is she today?" " I haven't seen her lately." " She's out with a girlfriend." "She is, is she?" "Yeah, I mean..." "She's always had so many girlfriends." " And the job?" " It blooms and grows." "I'm actually quite busy there." "Karsten isn't there much, so I have to work more." " But you and Helle..?" " Yes, what, mum?" "Hello, space boy!" "Wow!" "Hello!" "You been downstairs or what?" "Hello." " Who is it?" " Can't you see?" "Buzz Aldrin." "Here you are." " You're alright?" " Yeah." "Have you seen Majka, the girl from children's tv?" "Mattias?" " Have a roll." " Thanks." "Yes, well..." "We've refinished the parquet floor recently." "Yes, I can see that." "Looking good." "Yes, we are quite pleased." "Wenche Foss, showbiz..." "You were never a big tit model." "No..." "I had great tits, actually." "When I was young, I wore a very low neckline, all down to..." "Hi!" "You've reached Helle's answering machine." "Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can." "Now comes your chance to join the band." "If you'd like to try your luck as a singer, now's your chance." "Is there anyone who'd like to come up?" ""Hunting high and low."" "Here's a song from a band that, believe it or not, are Norwegian." "He knew he would become famous for this, Buzz Aldrin." "The attention was enormous." "Five hundred million people riveted to their TV screens." "Even more glued to their radios." "Aldrin had been on the moon, walked around in the grey dust." "And nothing would ever be the same after that." "He didn't go because he needed the fame." "Aldrin was just doing his job." " Show me." " It's brand new." " Wow, a big scarf." " Nice?" " Very nice." " It can be used in many ways." "I can wear it around the waist." " Wow, that's good." " Nice?" "Very nice." "I'll wear it to the party." " Hey..." " Yes." " Come along." " I've bought potato chips." "I can see that, but I want us to go there together." " And I want you to stay here." " Mattias, why can't you?" " Come on." " Come." " Stay home." " Mattias." " Mattias..." "Look at you." " What?" " You're like a part of the furniture." " It's camouflage." " Hard to tell if you're at home." " I'm home." "Stay here with me." "I'm tired of making up excuses as to why you're not with me." ""He's not feeling well, he has to meet someone from work."" ""He has a date with someone who's just here this weekend."" "They've begun to tease me at work that you don't exist." " That says it all, doesn't it?" " What says it all, is..." "Before we became sweethearts I almost got pneumonia   waiting for you during every break, out in the school yard." " What does that tell you?" " That's the same as saying:" ""I loved you last Christmas."" "A bad example, then, but that doesn't change anything." "Stay home, please." "Some times I wish that you would go out more." "Yeah." "You don't want to." "Give my regards." "...bombarded a convoy." "In one of the convoys, " " Serbian police took part in the forces against Albania." "They were only a mile from the border when they were attacked." "It's not going so good." "Kosovo?" "The nursery." "You'll sort it out." "I don't know, Mattias..." "To the world's best girlfriend." "Come to the back yard." "What happened to you?" "At the dance?" "You just disappeared." "I was called back to earth." "You're a very good singer." "Thanks." "Think you can hit the roof with a snowball?" "If you do, you get a prize." "You sang way cool!" "Better than Morten Harket." "Join our theater group, you can have first choice of any role." "Practice with us in the Slacker Gang." "We're a cross   between The Smiths and The Beach Boys." "The main roles are Peer in Peer Gynt, Shakespeare's Romeo." "Or we can write you any role you want for the next revue." "We have brilliant and interesting lyrics in Norwegian." "We can start a new band and call it JemJem Due." "We model ourselves after The Talking Heads." "Talking Heads." "Why haven't you told us about this before, Mattias?" "We can form a band." "Me on guitar." "Roar on the drums and you as the lead singer." "No." "What happened at the school dance was a one shot deal." "It would be a crime if you didn't let people hear your voice." " No, I don't need it." " No?" " No, no?" "Or just no?" " No, no, no." "What will you do then?" "If you want to avoid taking advantage of your potential." "Be a gardener." "A gardener?" "Come in, hurry up." " Are you alright?" " I just need to catch my breath." "In here?" "I understand that you don't want all this attention." "But it doesn't help to hide in here." "Come out, please." "I'll take care of you." "I promise." "Come on." " You've got a birthday coming up." " Yeah, I guess." "Yeah, you do." "I know what you're going to get." "You always find things I didn't even know I wanted." "That's so impressive." "And you have always remembered the names of my buddies." "Unlike you." "Like the time you thought " " Andrea was Reidun." " Then you thought she was Ingrid." " It's not so easy." "I feel so good when I'm with you." "Happy to hear it." "You are a perfect girlfriend." "Strictly speaking I'm the only girlfriend you've ever had." "So you have no one to compare me with." "So what?" "I'm sure of it anyway." "Sorry that I haven't been home much lately." " It has been a bit much." " That's alright." "Can't we do something fun together?" "Yes." " That's what I want." " How about an outing?" " Bring some of your friends." " By all means." "How about giving Jørn a call, and Roar?" "Great." " Do you want some coffee?" " Yes, please." "It's going better with us now." "I don't know what it was." "She seems happier now." "More easy going." "That's good." "We just need a little time, probably." "And we've got the whole summer." "I'm glad." "Be quiet!" "This could be cool to mix into a song." "What do you say, Helle?" "Can we convince Mattias to go to the Faroe Islands?" "Jørn!" "I'm not so ready for it." "But it's fine with me if you go." " You heard her." " Thank you so much." "God!" "Wait a minute." "Are you ready?" "Take the picture." "Come on." "Now it's our turn." " I don't know..." " Come on." "My God!" " Come on." " This is not a good idea." " That's why we climbed up here." " My shoes are too slippery." " This is crazy." " You'll be fine." "Wait a minute." "One more?" "Yes." "Listen..." "Yes?" "I just wanted to say   that I love you." "So, I was just wondering   if you would marry me?" "No, Mattias." "I'm going to leave you." "Hi." "What?" "We've been together for 13 years and now I scare you?" "I was just surprised that you are here now." "I didn't think you'd be here when I came to get my clothes." " It doesn't matter." " You were the one who..." "How are we going to do with the towels, the sheets and such?" " Just take what you need." " But we should do it right." "There is no right way to do it." "Helle?" "I don't understand." "Is this necessary?" "Is this really what you want?" "It's gone too far, Mattias." "You've gotten so thin." "I'm a little worn out." "And Helle?" "It's been a while since we've seen her." "My vacation starts tomorrow." "Not totally sure what to do." "The Faroe Islands?" " No, I don't think so." " That'll be great." "Get away from here." "What are you doing here?" "You know your vacation starts today." "Yes." "But I'm not totally sure what I want to do..." "I'll fill out the papers tonight and declare the place bankrupt." "It's been good working with you, you've been the best." "It's just about the only thing I can give you." "As a remembrance." "Of the many billion people who have lived on this earth, " " Buzz Aldrin was the second to walk on the moon." "He would have preferred to go on a later space flight." "Understandably, since that would have drawn less attention to him." "But if Aldrin had backed out, the two other astronauts too, " " Armstrong and Collins, would have lost their chance." "Aldrin chose not to disappoint anybody." "Holy shit!" "Insane good!" "Mattias!" "It's so cool you're coming along." "Listen to the guitar." "Excuse me." "Hi." "You guys are Perkleiva, right?" "Yeah." " Saw you in The Cave last spring." " You did?" " It was really good!" " Thanks." "We're the headliners at a festival on the Faroe Islands." " Come and listen to us." " Yeah." "I don't usually ask for this kind of thing..." "But could I get a kiss?" " You want a kiss?" " Yes, from you." "With pleasure." "Could I get one too?" "Jørn?" "Mattias, don't be so down." "I can sing now." "I've changed my mind." "I want to sing." " You fooling?" " No." "Do you want me to sing now, here?" " I'll do it for 15.000 kroner." " Sure." "A Submarine." "Cheers!" "For an insanely great voice." "I put three in there." "Mattias!" "Calm down, Mattias!"
