HOME FOR CHRISTMAS 3

DECEMBER 12TH

- Hi. - Hi, honey!

- Hi, Mama! Wow. You're beaming! - Hi, Johanne.

- Good to see you. - How've you been?

I'm great. How're you doing?

Uh, yeah, I'm fine.

I just, um, wanted to say how sorry I am we argued last time I saw you.

Yeah, I'm sorry too. But it's no big deal.

I know, I just felt I should apologize to you,

and that I actually really get you.

You wanna move on. Friends again?

Look, you and I will never not be friends.

Okay?

Okay.

What's that?

Hm? It's the carpenter in my kitchen.

I can't hear you.

The noise is making it hard to hear so I'll have to call you back.

I can't hear what you're saying because it's so noisy at your place,

so call me back.

Yeah. I'll call you back later, okay?

- Okay. - All right. Love you lots.

I love you too.

- Bye. - Later.

Bye.

That's a really nice floor.

Yeah. It's coming together.

- Hm. - Mm.

But, um...

may I offer the gentleman a Christmas soda in my humble living room?

No, I've already got coffee.

To be clear, I do like Christmas soda. I just don't mix the two.

Well, you could live a little on the wild side, right Bo?

How 'bout I...

I sit in there and drink my drink while you drink yours?

Okay.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Thank you for being there for me and my nephews. Meant a lot.

Don't mention it. It was fun. Anytime.

And again, I'm sorry for being so bossy lately,

and all stressed out.

And for the fact it's not Christmassy and cozy in here.

I think it's lugumt in here anyway.

What? "Lugumt"?

Yeah, nice, or cozy.

Thanks. That's very "lugumt" to say.

- But you do need a Christmas tree. - Yeah.

Yeah, there's no Christmas without one.

Me and my whole family love them too. We're a...

Christmas tree family.

Uh, I can go buy one today since I'm off work.

Buy one?

- Yeah. - No. You have to chop your own.

What do you mean, chop my own?

Look around at the trees.

If you really tune in, you'll know which one is yours.

There!

That one?

It's perfect.

Yeah, it is.

Go and get it.

I'm sorry, what?

You're not doing it?

Yes!

Whoo!

Are you always this well-prepared?

Yeah. Always.

It's lovely here.

So quiet.

Yeah.

We don't often listen to the silence.

I, um... overheard you and your sister getting into it the other day.

And just wanted to see if you were okay.

I think Maria is right in saying I'm hellbent on making myself useful to...

uh, to my family, because I don't have my own.

I just feel like I don't exist if I'm not, um, fixing things.

What do you think'll happen if you stop fixing things?

If I'm honest, I think my greatest fear is

they might not love me as much if, uh... If I'm not being helpful.

I think there are a lot of reasons why they love you,

which have nothing to do with you being helpful.

Thanks.

That was nice of you say.

I always cry when I'm around you, it's freaking embarrassing!

I'm sorry.

Nah, I'm not the reason.

It's the forest. And also the van.

Where you can relax and be honest.

Keep me away from forests and vans.

No, it's good.

I always come out here when I need to think or... work something out.

Turn off my phone and shut out the world.

Soothed my first broken heart at 16 in these woods.

Spent three whole days out here.

- Sounds like overkill. - Mm.

DECEMBER 13TH

Oh, shit!

Johanne?

- Do you have a moment right now? - I do.

Everything good?

All good!

Absolutely. So good.

Okay. It's concerning a rather...

Are you okay?

Yeah, of course.

You're sure?

Yeah.

- What's going on? - Open!

What?

You gonna let them out?

- You need to push the door. - Let's see...

Hi.

- Hi! - Hey.

- Hi. - Hi.

Right, uh...

We... We, um...

Well, um, the office printer broke down, so...

Erik came to fix it, but... then the lock broke, and we couldn't... Well, you know...

- Couldn't get out. Right? - Yeah. Right.

Then we'll have to fix the door. Can you make a note?

- Fix the door. Jot that down. - Fix... Sure. I can do that.

Magne!

- You're the best. - Thank you.

All right, then. Gotta get back to my rounds, so...

And back to mine.

We need to talk.

The administration received a rather serious phone call...

- Right. - ...from Willy's daughter.

She claims you visited her at home

to break the news that her father is dying.

Yes. Or... Well, I, um...

I didn't tell her that he was dying, I told her

that he might not have much time left.

That's standard procedure?

To go seeking out next of kin and knock on their door?

I realized afterwards that I crossed a line.

Why didn't you confer with the administration before paying her a visit?

I wanted to do something that would be helpful to my patient.

So you don't trust the system then?

I do. I trust it.

But, um... for this one in particular,

uh, I got too personally invested, I admit that.

- Hmm. - And my conduct was far from professional.

I shouldn't have done it.

I should've given it a bit more... way more thought.

So...

I'm sorry.

That'll be all.

I'll tell that to admin.

Hi, Marianne. How can I help you?

Where is Maria?

The dress rehearsal is tonight, and the costumes need to be ready soon.

- Do you know if she's coming? - She, uh, doesn't feel good. Again.

How long does she intend to be sick?

I've tried calling a million times, she's ruining this for everyone.

No, don't call her right now.

Uh, call me. Whatever you need I'll take care of it.

Right, then you need to be at dress rehearsal tonight.

6:00 p.m. sharp. Don't be late.

Uh...

I've been looking for you everywhere. I am so, so sorry.

We'll talk later.

No, we have to talk now. It's really important. Um...

I'm in love with him.

And... And I would never, ever do that on the job.

Obviously.

But you've been there. Love makes you do...

um, all kinds of crazy, illogical things.

Hey, uh, Vera? Don't let yourself get emotionally invested in Erik.

A guy like him isn't worth risking your job over.

What if he is?

Johanne, Jo...

I... I don't think you understand what I'm saying. He said... he's in love with me.

- He said that? - Yeah.

Well, almost. It was more like...

He said he doesn't think he'll be able to work with me

because he knows he'll... fall in love with me.

- Mm. - Ugh.

He said the exact same thing to me.

When?

Pretty much right after I got the promotion.

Oh, fucking hell...

But Vera... Vera... Mm.

- Hey. - Hi.

- You all right? - Actually? No, not really.

Okay.

Now that the last of the ladies

has finally decided to bless us with her presence...

Johanne, can you go and stand next to Adrian?

You already know each other well.

Yeah.

Now, we can proceed with "The Big, Ugly Rat."

And after that, Thea will work on the choreography.

The ugly rat. He's a big, scary, ugly rat!

Why're you laughing?

Uh, oh, sorry, I'm... I just...

I was laughing at the new words.

I really wouldn't laugh at the new lyrics.

Many of the children standing here before you

were heavily involved in the rewriting process.

And the new lyrics align better with the school's new anti-bullying policy.

Moving on.

Why don't we just, um...

repeat that part one more time?

Who's gonna be the big, ugly rat?

It was originally gonna be your mother.

Now, it'll be Johanne.

And now we sing and dance at the same time. Are you ready?

- Yeah! - Great! Okay.

And around.

Yes, very good!

Okay, so, Johanne, uh, after that,

I was envisioning that you'd come hopping in being all scary.

And then you deliver your line.

Wait? A line? Me?

You say, "That porridge is mine now!"

Okay.

Great. So, when Johanne comes in and says, "That porridge is mine now!"

I want all of you to run, and be really scared,

and you run and hide because she's so terrifying. Okay?

Me too?

You don't have to hide since Father Gnome's not that scared.

- No, right. - Yes. Okay.

Okay, is everybody ready? Let's try it.

Okay, go ahead, Johanne.

- She's the rat! - Okay.

Father Gnome!

Uh... That porridge is mine now!

- No. No, that's not it. At all. - My auntie's the rat.

Again! More feeling, Johanne.

I know you're not Nicole Kidman,

but we're trying to tell a story here, right?

- Yeah, yeah. - That porridge is mine now!

- Yeah. That porridge is-- - With... No, with gusto.

You need to show more feeling.

- You really want it, don't you? - That porridge is mine now!

- Yes. More. - That porr--

That porridge is mine now! Feel it!

- That porridge is mine now! - I want more, I want real anger!

- That porridge is mine now! - More than that!

- That porridge is mine now! - More!

I said give me the goddamn motherfucking porridge!

[clapping rhythmically

Why don't we take a little break, because Trym has made gløgg!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just need to calm down.

Hey. I'm sorry I haven't called.

Things got rather tense after, uh...

Yeah, uh, I... I was a bit confused by it, but, uh...

Yeah, maybe you should start locking the door when you have women over.

That was unfortunate.

"Unfortunate"? Really?

- Fucked up? - Fucked up. That's the word.

You make a nice rat.

Uh, thanks. Nice, uh, Father Gnome.

Adrian? Come over here.

- Want some gløgg? - {Morten] Yes, please.

Got it.

- Trym? - Yeah?

- Two gløggerinis. - Two gløggs.

- Do you want raisins and almonds? - No thanks, just the punch.

I noticed your girls aren't here tonight.

No, I...

I mixed up the dates.

I signed up for more than I needed to.

- You show up! - I sure do.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Ugh. Can you please pinch my arm and tell me I'm not actually a rat?

Yeah, winding up in this spot

as someone who doesn't have kids is unlucky, even for you.

Yeah, thank you for acknowledging that, Morten.

Yeah. In fact, it's so crazy, there must be some deeper meaning.

- Yeah? Yeah. - Yeah.

- So what's the meaning then? - All right! Break time's over!

Hm.

DECEMBER 14TH

Oh! Excuse me. Sorry.

- Hi. - Hi.

I haven't seen you before.

I've never been here, so no wonder.

- Well, welcome. - Thanks.

A beer?

- Oh, it's... kinda early. - Yeah.

I'll have a very strong coffee.

Coming right up.

Here you go.

- Everyone seems super nice in here. - Yeah.

I believe there are nice people everywhere.

All around you. You just have to look close enough.

Yeah.

Hey, did someone help you draw those menus?

Yes, actually.

One of the regulars.

Right. I recognize the style and the drawings.

Do you know Bo?

Uh, yeah. I mean, he's renovating my kitchen for me.

So that would make you Johanne?

Uh, he's talked to you about me?

Uh, yeah.

Oh...

- A beer? - Yeah.

TO BO CARPENTER: HI. I'M AT YOUR FAVORITE BAR.

NICE PLACE... THE ONLY THING MISSING IS YOU ;-)

There.

- Want me to put it on your tab? 'Kay. - Yeah.

BO CARPENTER: SOUNDS GOOD. I'LL COME DOWN IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

TO BO CARPENTER: COOL. SEE YOU THEN. I JUST NEED TO RUN SOME ERRANDS FIRST.

Whoa! Ah!

Whoa, you all right?

I'm fine.

Oh, God.

Johanne!

Hi!

Hey.

- Uh... - Long time no see.

Yeah, been a while.

What... Okay, who are these for?

They're not mine.

They're, uh, Maria's. Well, it's not... It's, um...

I'm helping out at my nephew's Christmas show.

Lots of deadlines and stress.

Sounds like you're busy, but...

if you have time, would you maybe wanna grab a coffee?

You know, just a quickie.

Uh, yeah, sure.

- A quickie. Mm-hmm. - Great!

- I'll get that. - Yeah. Thanks.

Shit. It's trippy seeing you.

Yeah, it's been a hot minute, that's for sure.

That it has!

Got another needle on you?

I can help out.

Yeah?

- I can't promise it'll be good, but... - We'll find out.

...looks like you need the help.

All you.

Okay.

I thought you were mad at me.

Me, mad?

Yeah.

Maybe just a little.

I mean, I wasn't really mad per se. It's more that I was...

more sad, I guess.

Yeah, the whole thing also had me all broken up.

But I eventually understood

that you were right the whole time.

What? Say those words again.

You were right.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Certain things, mm, you should never compromise on.

Yeah. It...

It was just hard for me to accept.

Hm.

We just had it too good...

to realize we actually wanted different things the whole time.

Mm. Beautifully said.

You're beautiful.

Don't say that.

Sorry.

Old habits.

So what's going on?

With me?

Yeah, well, uh...

I... I met someone new,

- who I've been dating. - Right.

It's still pretty new, so I don't know whether to commit

or run.

Every bone in my body is telling me to run.

Yeah.

I'm...

just not sure if I can handle going through...

what we went through.

Right.

But you and this girl, you both want the same things, I assume?

Yeah, we talked about that on the first date.

Oh? Okay.

Is this weird for us to talk about?

No, it's not.

- I don't know if I want to-- - Hey, um...

It's totally natural, you know?

It's been a whole year, so it's not surprising you'd find someone new.

Have you met anyone?

Not really. Or, I don't think so.

- You don't think so? - I'm not sure!

What?

I'm confused right now.

Uh...

It...

I could really relate when you talked about your body screaming at you to run.

- Mm. - Yeah.

It's hard to let in someone new.

- Really hard. - Mm.

I keep all our memories

Somewhere safe where I can keep

Looking at them from afar

And glue back all the broken parts

- Well... - Mm.

The moon is moving quietly

It's almost like it's just a dream

And if I'm wishing hard enough...

It was nice seeing you again.

Same here, Johanne.

Really.

Oh, I breathe you in I breathe you out

And every time I hope that I

Yeah, maybe in another life

BO CARPENTER: HEY, WHERE ARE YOU?

In a corner in my mind

I hide away to fantasize

I get the chance I didn't take

To say the things I didn't say

My heart is feeling heavy tonight Heavy tonight, darling

Heavy tonight, heavy tonight, darling

Darling

And I'ma let it feel heavy tonight Heavy tonight, darling

Heavy tonight, heavy tonight, darling

Darling

My heart is feeling heavy tonight Heavy tonight, darling

Heavy tonight, heavy tonight

Tonight, I'm gonna let it weigh

Tomorrow is another day
