Original subtitles

- What is this place? - It's my place.

You're going to form a new party.

Nyborg is going to form a new party.

Count me in.

You're our first MP. We've approached Jon Berthelsen.

- We haven't heard from him. - Good!

- Jon! I thought you weren't interested. - I wondered what you had to say.

- This is going to be a bombshell. - I'm with you all the way.

- Any word from Katrine? - No.

You hand me loser stories. I want to see winners.

I'm eager to negotiate with you.

Please come back.

My wife is black, and I just helped pass a law

my own son could be the victim of.

What are you going to do?

I just left the New Right.

Democracy is dialogue.

New Democrats are going to fight to re-open that dialogue.

"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles,

"others their principles for the sake of their party."

Good morning.

Did you hear the government rejected the Greens' bill?

It's an outrage.

TV1 is hosting an integration debate and want us on the panel.

- Good. - It's a great opportunity.

This is the book in which he predicts the crisis two years in advance.

I'll read it, and then we'll discuss it. Good morning... Lis.

- We need to come out with an issue. - What is our stand on corporate tax?

We haven't defined that yet. Jon, TV1 wants to talk integration.

I'm sorry, Birgitte, but we just can't talk here.

- Birgitte, I want to ask... - Sorry. We're in a meeting.

We've turned into a mass movement.

There's a difference between a mass movement and a mass of movements.

Episode 23 - The Right Shade of Brown

Well, at least here there's some peace and quiet.

TV1 wants us to participate in an integration debate.

Integration is a key issue of ours

and it would be a good idea to show another face than mine.

Birgitte can't wear all the hats. We need a spokesperson on integration.

How about you, Erik? You know the debate first-hand.

Thanks, but I'd only be putting my son in an even worse situation.

Anyway, I've dealt with judicial policy the past 15 years.

I'll do it. I held the post for four months.

With mixed results.

Your definition of a multicultural society was to just open the borders.

Maybe I'm all the wiser now.

How about finding a new candidate?

Maybe even an immigrant.

That would match our profile.

- Great idea, Katrine. - I know this cool guy from Greenland.

- Inuits aren't brown enough. - True. It must be a Muslim.

An old student friend of mine knows an Indonesian.

He's lived in Denmark for 20 years.

People will think Japanese, Chinese, big business.

Stop it now.

Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim country.

People think my wife is a mail order bride from Uganda.

- No, we don't want an African. - Let's find a full-fledged Muslim.

- With a large beard and hair all over. - Enough of this.

Let's find the best candidate.

Katrine's in charge, but anyone can suggest candidates.

I'll find one that's the right shade of brown.

- Welcome to Creative Workshop. - Thanks.

This is where TV1 is going to think out of the box.

Sit down. You and I are going to do a focus process of the News.

Alex, will this take long? I have a staff meeting...

It may seem stupid, but take it in. Even the furniture's challenging here.

It forces you to think in angles. Now, we both had to bring something.

So what have you got for me?

Integration.

Everyone wants to know what Nyborg's party will focus on.

I thought an integration debate might get them out in the open.

- How would you tell that story? - A classic panel debate.

Whatever happened to "Dilemma"?

It was too fatuous, all ranting and raving,

and hysterical applause from the audience.

I had to cancel it.

- The young viewers liked it. - Young people don't watch the news.

If a program lacks an edge, you give it that edge.

- Let's revive "Dilemma". Great idea. - I never said that.

I brought something too. I focus on the viewers. Always.

Our news at the moment tends to be "thank God it wasn't me" TV.

Wars, catastrophes, crises. It's time for "I wish it were me" TV.

How about some sexy financial TV?

Successful people would love it, and unsuccessful people like to dream.

Sure.

We have to be innovative.

The management wants positive stories.

- Uncritical, you mean? - No. More like "I wish it were me".

Stocks, rates, finances.

I'd love to hear your visual takes on it.

- We need to set the right mood. - That mood being?

That "I wish it were me" mood.

- Mood? - Yes.

- Why won't it print? - Is it our platform?

I think we should have a passage on Christian values in our platform.

- "Christian values"? - Good to see you.

We've met?

Why is the printer out of paper?

Hasse just made 50 copies of a book.

He should clear it with us first.

- Tell him. - You bet.

I've drawn up a list of potential candidates.

I like Jawad Hammidi. He works as a mentor on the North Side.

He used to be in a gang and received the Integration Award last year.

Gang crime is a social problem.

I believe in the mentor programs. In our experience they work.

Are you a practising Muslim?

Sure. Just like Danes are Christians.

- What does that mean? - I believe in God.

But I break a lot of the Koran's laws. I eat pork.

But not wieners. They're full of crap.

What does that tattoo say?

It's not a radical Koran verse.

I got it when Adila said yes. It's a quote from the poet Rumi.

"Lovers don't meet out in the world. They're in each other from the start."

- You charge for coffee? - Yes. We have no income at all.

We all have to chip in.

Some of us put in a lot of hours.

I think it's a little cheap.

- We won't sue you, if you won't. - So it's voluntary?

- It's a request. - I haven't got any coins.

Here. It's on me.

- Will his violent past be a problem? - One conviction when he was 14.

He's worked ever since to make amends. It shouldn't.

This is Katrine and Nete. This is Jørgen Steen Andersen.

Jørgen Steen Andersen. Hello. Hi.

- I booked the conference room. - Booked the conference room?

I wrote it in the party calendar.

He's a great candidate.

I can't get that neck tattoo out of my head.

- Don't you associate a Koran tattoo? - But he explained it.

What will a voter think of a tattooed Muslim convicted of violence?

So his tattoo disqualifies him?

- Maybe we should look for a woman. - A Muslim woman?

Quick meeting, Jon. Good thing you booked the room.

- Have you found a candidate? - We're considering a woman.

Two women just agreed on that?

- Will my gender get me kicked out? - You're gay, so you're halfway there.

- We're looking for a Muslim woman? - Yes. An outstanding candidate.

- Someone with clear opinions. - And who can go on TV in five days.

Hello?

Kasper?

- Hello. - Hi.

Hi. We're up here. There's been a minor mishap.

What happened?

Gustav played the little hairdresser.

It's my own fault.

We'd been cutting and pasting, and I fell asleep.

What's more fun to cut? Dad or paper? Dad.

- You haven't got any hair. - It had to go.

What did you do, sweetie?

- You cut off all Daddy's hair? - Yes. Give mum a hug.

- My little hairdresser. - Are you a little hairdresser?

- God almighty. - Does it suit me?

Sure. If you were a prizefighter or a hip-hop artist.

I don't know how much street cred it lends to a political commentator...

Jesus. What are you going to tell TV1?

I'll think of something. I'm not due there until next week.

Thanks for picking him up. Things are crazy at the moment.

I've got 112 unanswered e-mails and two phone conferences.

Hey, I've been there.

- Did he have a good day? - Sure. He had a great day.

They say he's such a sweet boy at the day care.

What's this for?

- Well... you want to go home? - Yes.

- Yes. - Come here, sweetie.

- Bye, bye. - Bye, Daddy.

We'll let you know if we hear about any openings for a bouncer.

I miss you already.

Bye.

- What are you looking for? - The black plastic bowls.

What's up?

They go all numb sometimes. Anyway, we found the bowls.

- The bathroom stinks. - I called the plumber.

- Why did Laura get the big room? - Because she has friends over.

- I have Lars over. - But you're much smaller people.

Right? Whip up some positive energy.

You sound just like when you were PM.

You just hate not being the rich boy.

I don't want to live in this dump.

Jesus Christ!

Well, it is a dump.

You think?

Good morning.

- Good morning, Bent. - Good morning.

We had an electrician put in a new electric panel. It cost DKK5,200.

- Goodness! - We have to pay the domain name.

We'd better start collecting membership fees.

Bent, my friend. How many have signed up?

Just over 13,000. But the collection is coming to a halt.

We can't get anyone to do it despite these hordes of people doing... what?

Birgitte, good morning. Got a minute?

Not if it's about money.

You've booked the conference room all day?

I drafted the financial policy we discussed.

There's an outline on the first two pages.

This looks very thorough, Jon. Lower corporate tax by 4%.

I have more news. I got us DKK1 million.

- What? - I got us 1 million.

Jørgen Steen Andersen, RPS Bank. I approached him.

Okay. And what does he expect in return?

He just wants to be part of the project.

An exclusive meeting with Birgitte Nyborg might go down well.

He's a great admirer of you.

- Jon may have got us 1 million. - Wow!

- Yes. - And I may have found a candidate.

Her name's Parvin, she's from Iran and a fifth-year law student.

Most of her family are doctors and lawyers.

- Isn't she great? - She wears a head scarf.

- Is that a problem? - It's the first thing you see.

She's eloquent, well-educated and modern.

I really like her self-irony. She's very fresh.

- She wears a head scarf. - Yes.

- So does Aisha Nagrawi. - That's why she wasn't re-elected.

Think it was because of the scarf, or because she was a pain in the butt?

- We'll just ask her to take it off. - No. Say Parvin refused.

Then she might go out and say we asked her to disavow her faith.

- We have to turn her down. - Tell her she's too young.

Seems you have to get money for this firm to become popular.

- Hello. Birgitte. - Jørgen.

I'm very happy to meet you.

I'm mad about you.

I've always loved your energy.

Your new party is just what Denmark needs right now. Your vision is right.

There are those who'd say our vision wasn't quite clear yet.

Your course is clear. I remember your statement about the tax ceiling.

- That was right after my time as PM. - But your position hasn't changed?

We haven't yet discussed that in the new party.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I took the liberty of ordering their lunch menu. You do eat fish?

- Absolutely. Thanks. - Splendid.

Don't worry, this is completely informal.

I'm just thrilled to talk to you.

Yes, I can see that...

I feel very privileged to be part of the project.

And our bank would also love to have New Democrats as a customer.

You want to talk about money? I've heard about your empty coffers.

- Correct. - I've given it a lot of thought.

I'm prepared to give Denmark's most exciting party another half million.

I've got everything ready.

Here are the account details and credit cards.

Let's settle the formalities soon.

Here you go.

Thanks a lot.

- Let's eat. - Yes, let's.

Just pay them all. The money's already in the account.

Sure, buy a new printer. And pay the three months' rent.

And power and heating. Yes.

Let's settle our debts. Okay, see you tomorrow.

- Hi. - Hi, Phillip. What are you doing here?

I gave Magnus a ride home. He needed my help.

Hi, Mum. Dad put my skateboard up on the wall.

- It looks awesome. - Great.

- Seems like you're settling in. - Sure. Hi.

My handyman says it's a dump.

That wall needs fixing, but...

- Nice though, huh? - Sure.

Say... Have you had a glass of wine or two?

Five tiny glasses.

I've had a grand lunch with a banker

who expressed great interest in my party and me personally.

- Jørgen Steen Andersen. - Okay.

He gave me 1 .5 million.

He emphasized that it was out of sheer enthusiasm.

- Sounds just... great. - You sound guarded.

He doesn't give anything without expecting something in return.

He didn't make any demands.

- Hey. I let myself in. - Sure. He's running a fever?

He's got a middle ear infection.

Oh no.

He's on antibiotics, and they're working already.

His fever is going down. The doctor says the antibiotics will do the trick.

Poor baby.

I'm so happy you could pick him up. I mean that.

We work around the clock, but we don't seem to get anything done.

- It's a killer. - I'm sure you're doing a great job.

How was your first day on the job as a baldie? Has Torben seen it?

No, I've been working from home.

- I've got a meeting later this week. - It'll have grown back out by then.

Got a snack for the road?

- I'm starving. - Sure.

Or you could stay for dinner. I'll cook some more rice.

TV dinner?

And now it's time for TV1's new business program.

BUSINESS

Just a wee glass and then... Then I'm off.

I'd like to welcome our expert on business, Nadia Barazani.

Welcome.

Sum up the state of the financial sector for us, please.

- Are we going up or down? - That's easy. We're going down.

- You don't mince words. - Only optimists think otherwise.

Southern Europe is threatened by national bankruptcy.

The Chinese are buying up Europe so fast we ought to learn Mandarin.

- Yes? - Turn on TV1.

No! Wait.

Wait a second. Okay.

Yes.

I hear CEOs saying we've weathered the crisis. Let's be honest.

They're talking to their stockholders and thus ignore the harsh realities.

She's senior analyst in Credit South. Nadia something.

We want to talk to her.

Man, she's good. Ulrik is having a hard time keeping up.

- Great find, Pia. - Thanks.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- I fell asleep. Sorry. - Hey, no worries.

You slept almost as heavily as Gustav.

He isn't running a fever anymore.

Maybe it's healing to be with both your mum and your dad.

Or maybe he inhaled my wine breath all night and that cured him.

The big question is: fried or scrambled?

Sounds delicious, but I have to get home.

I have a meeting soon, and I need a bath and clean clothes.

Nice breakfast table though.

Kiss Gustav from me.

- Can I grab a roll? - Sure.

Nice.

Good morning.

Hasse, I haven't read your book yet. Ladies and gentlemen, free coffee.

What about all of us who've paid for coffee unduly?

- I'm glad you could come. - Glad to see the media phenomenon.

- I just booked the conference room. - This is the conference room? Great.

I might as well move my desk out here.

I've gone over your draft, Jon, and I want you to assure me

that's there's no correlation between Jørgen's goodwill and this draft.

- I don't like your tone. - Many details are still unsettled.

Policies are formed in the tension field between realities, idealism

and wishes from groups

whose sphere of interest borders on the policy you wish to pursue.

Did we get paid for taking dictation in certain political fields?

- Did we, Jon? - Of course not.

Do you disagree with anything in that draft?

There's a fine line, isn't there?

I'll talk to Jørgen Steen Andersen.

Birgitte, can you approve this animal welfare campaign?

We got a great offer on banner ads. DKK10,000.

I can't approve anything for 10,000 at the moment.

- What did she say? - TV1 has offered her a job.

She doesn't think that's compatible with a political career.

- Hi. - Hi.

- It was a great lunch yesterday. - Yes. Very enjoyable.

- Lunch? - I'm going to stick to mineral water.

Fine.

I think...

I think we need to talk.

I'm glad you're so mad about us. We're glad.

But I need to know your agenda in relation to your generous donation.

- What do you expect in return? - I have no agenda.

That money is a gift.

We'll wait.

Still, we expect you to adjust your position to a certain degree.

Adjust our position?

Birgitte, politicians need corporate funding.

And the corporate sector needs a voice at Parliament.

The money sure came in handy.

This morning, 232,000 had already been withdrawn.

The skilled politician is the filter

through which corporate interests pass.

I'm not going to give you 1 .5 million for free, am I?

Nor do I expect to get my slightest wish fulfilled.

Did you ask Jon to write the passage about lowering corporate tax 4%?

No.

I suggested he write 7%.

But he didn't have the nerve, so he settled on 4. Is that a problem?

- Can you lend me DKK100,000? - 100,000?

Our corporate policy has been bought.

I want to call off the collaboration and pay him back his money.

But we've already spent a quarter of a million.

I can raise the 150.

Can you lend me the money?

- Torben? - Yes?

I've been trying to get hold of you.

- Creative Workshop is tomorrow. - I'm here about the business show.

- Okay. - You start out just great.

I feel invited. Love the jingle. I feel welcome.

Ulrik comes off as competent. Hands me the theme. I'm curious.

- You speak to my segment. - Great. I'm so glad.

But 45 seconds in, you lose me. Why?

- Why? - You lose me.

There's some lady supposed to fill me in on the stock market etc.

Instead, she tells me that everything's going to hell.

Barazani is extremely competent.

Didn't I ask for a show with the headline "I wish it were me"?

Instead, you offer me a Pakistani prophet of doom

quenching my every hope. Is that's good TV?

- Do you mind the colour of her skin? - Oh, come on.

That's exactly what you're saying!

I'm talking about the narrative. If you insist on talking skin colour,

it doesn't help your vague narrative that all we can think

is "well-integrated expert" because she's Pakistani.

I'm talking about the message. Her message quenches all hope.

She's telling the truth.

Is it against your notion of public service

to let viewers think life might be worth living?

Want me to find someone else? I'll tell my staff it's your idea.

You're welcome.

Just don't let them think you aren't the master in your own house.

Dan, how about you go and fetch a sandwich for yourself?

Just for a minute or two.

Pia, I've been thinking about Nadia Barazani...

- It won't work. - What do you mean?

We have to find someone else.

Look...

Half an hour ago we were ecstatic.

- What's the problem? - I watched the show again.

She's too gloomy.

I don't feel welcome.

You've lost me. Nadia is razor sharp.

So are lots of people. It's just not...

I don't see her fitting into the narrative TV1 has to deliver.

- "Narrative"? Is that Alex speaking? - This is my decision completely.

She is sharp. But it's incompatible with the story TV1 has to deliver

to give a Pakistani prophet of doom the floor.

A "Pakistani prophet of doom"?

- Hi, Nadia. - Hi.

- Can we talk again? - Sure.

I was on the board of DIK Invest until I became a market analyst.

- Why did you change your mind? - I'm not a commentator anymore.

Someone had second thoughts for some ugly reason.

The colour of my skin may have had something to do with it.

It stirred some emotions I can vent through political work.

Sounds appalling, but lucky for us.

We'd like to offer you the job as spokesperson on integration.

That's not my field of expertise.

I have my views on integration,

but they're sharper than people may think.

I think we should make demands on people who want to live here.

Great. We want to be realistic and not too politically correct.

Hi.

- How's he doing? - He's almost as good as new.

Great. I just want to follow up on the things we discussed earlier.

- Oh, about his clothes? - Yes. Warm clothes from now on.

Great idea.

- Anything else? - No.

Do you need help with him tonight? I mean, you helped me yesterday.

Sometimes it's easier to handle him together.

You're welcome.

I just don't think it's a good idea to get Gustav used to that.

- I've got to go now. - Okay. Talk to you soon.

Have a good night.

- Hi. - Morning... Hey! New style.

Do you like it? It only cost me 600.

- Let's spend money on a new printer. - We haven't got any money after all.

- Find Jon for me. - Birgitte!

I'm arranging a debate meeting for young couples on family planning.

Including a critical debate on abortion. Will you come?

- What do you mean "critical"? - Young people are so laissez faire.

I think we're too far apart on that issue.

Hold that meeting. And we're charging for coffee again.

Katrine, go over everything with Nadia before you send her off to TV1.

Man, she's in a foul mood. She's charging for coffee again.

Excuse me, but I need to talk to you right away.

Birgitte, this is Gotfredsen from the Interest Organization of Agriculture.

I'm afraid I have to speak to you now.

Well, I'll call you back then. Thank you for coming in today.

- You're welcome. - I'm sorry.

That meeting could have landed us one more donation.

Jon, I'm here to talk about just that, buying and selling.

- People can't just buy influence. - And that's not the case.

It is. At best you're selling them an illusion, and that won't do.

You're twisting our platform.

Our party coffers are empty.

But we can't sell out to big business, before we've won over the voters.

That's why I've paid back the money to Jørgen Steen Andersen.

We aren't ready to accept such large sums

when they're linked to promises in areas we don't agree on internally.

Internal agreement is great, but we need friends.

We need consequent action and clear rhetoric.

What kind of environment policy will you pursue

after receiving 1 million from agriculture organisations?

We must establish our positions first. Whoever agrees can then fund us.

- Isn't it time for our staff meeting? - Sure.

I've just come from a great and wonderful meeting

with a young dynamic executive from Nordea.

She's razor sharp, eloquent and... Yeah, well, Ulrik... hot.

What more could you want from a brand-new financial expert?

Torben, I'd like to say something.

Quite a lot of us are astonished

that you fired Nadia Barazani as a regular commentator.

Your reason for doing so astonishes us even more.

I didn't fire anyone. We tried her out, she didn't work.

But that's not true, Torben. We were all over the moon about her.

Then you changed your mind with a very strange choice of words.

- Are you referring to our private talk? - I'd never do that.

- But this is a matter of principle. - Nonsense.

Do you deny you called her a Pakistani prophet of doom?

- That's taken out of context. - You did.

Torben, please describe a context in which it would be okay

to refer to an employee as a Pakistani prophet of doom.

Oh, come on, people.

Whatever happened to your sense of humour?

Can't we tell it like it is?

"Two or more employees can demand a written argument

"if the decision is of a principle or particularly radical nature."

You can forget that. That won't get you anywhere, Ulrik.

- No one's accusing you. - Let's get on with the news.

Any news about the fireworks fire?

Did you talk Nadia through the integration issues?

- We had a brief talk. - And?

Sorry, but I'm a bit out of sorts. Gustav's got a middle ear infection.

Fine.

I just need you to prep her properly.

Sure.

Can't Kasper help you?

It's just... It's complicated at the moment.

Sometimes he's so hard to read.

One of Kasper's major strengths as a spin doctor was his straight face.

No one really knew what he meant.

Many people made the mistake of thinking he meant the same as them.

It's a little like this place.

Now and then I think our popularity springs

from the fact that everyone reads their own dreams into the party

because we haven't yet defined our policies.

- You'll talk to Nadia? - Yes.

Oh, crap!

It's me.

I forgot to pack Gustav's antibiotics. Why didn't you notice?

I'm going to drop them off at your place. I'll let myself in.

HUGS TO BOTH OF YOU

- Hi. - Hi. What are you doing here?

I dropped off Gustav's antibiotics. I called you like a billion times.

I noticed they were missing, so I went out and got some.

- Where is he? - Asleep in the backyard.

You want a bite to eat?

- No, thanks. - Are you okay?

Sure. I was just worried he hadn't taken his antibiotics. See you.

As a commentator, I was told to wear a grey suit.

I guess you want me to be colourful and multicultural now.

Looks great.

Let's go through the issues before we throw you to the lions.

Affirmative action.

Good concept, but we don't want to take away people's own drive.

Great. How do you feel about the immigrant policy

pursued by Hesselboe?

The rhetoric is nasty, but they do have some good points.

- Come again? - The rhetoric is shrill.

Still, they've tightened the rules and implemented some good measures.

Can you elaborate, please?

We can't open up our borders to people who'll end up on welfare.

It's culturally unsound too, and the government has countered this.

- Culturally unsound in what way? - Do you want me to spell it out?

I may be a Muslim, but I'm not naive to Islam's impact on the third world.

Parts of Pakistan are incompatible with the advanced Danish society.

Salaphists oppose freedom and democracy. Why let them in?

We have to take the edge off some of your statements.

If Denmark is advanced, does that make Pakistan underdeveloped?

Absolutely. There are people in my family

that I'd hate to see become part of Danish society.

They're still living in the Middle Ages.

But it's refreshing that she stands by her own politically incorrect opinions.

She said things like "Muslims living in the Middle Ages".

That won't do. We have to muster a spokesperson on integration

in an hour and a half. Why didn't you see this coming?

There are sandwiches on the table. Three different kinds.

Nete, we need to talk to you.

Welcome to "Dilemma".

Tonight's topic is integration.

The deportation law is much debated.

The new party, New Democrats, more or less sprung from this debate.

Among my guests are spokesperson on integration Nete Buch.

- Jesus, her tits fill the screen! - Take it easy.

From the Freedom Party...

- Nadia would have done okay. - Stop it. Nete will do fine.

I'm glad our party is being heard. This entire debate proves

that most Danes have this message for criminal immigrants:

we're going to kick you out, if you can't behave.

Nete Buch is just another do-gooder echoing the soppy and naive slogan:

"Everyone's welcome. Come on in."

Doesn't Benedikte have a point in calling you and your party naive?

Of course we can't let everyone in. But it's not just a matter of who.

We want them to become part of society.

The rhetoric is extremely important.

You think the tone of the debate hampers integration?

I don't like it

when Nedergaard visits a domestic violence centre for immigrant women

just because it's a great photo opportunity.

And the day after, she posts a picture on Facebook of a 13-year-old boy

who's called her names in a harmless e-mail.

Let me finish. Your profile has 24,000 fans.

Nedergaard's caption to that photo was the boy's parents' address

and the question: "Do we want more of his kind?"

So when you ask the new do-gooder who promotes bad integration

my answer is: you do, Benedikte Nedergaard.

- All right! - She must've listened to us.

Alex, you're going to love this. I found a new commentator.

She's ultra cool.

- Got anything for me? - A complaint.

Eight of your staff have complained because you fired Nadia Barazani.

But that's absurd.

I don't know what went wrong, but when I receive a complaint

with allegations of racism, that worries me.

It's blown out of proportion, Alex.

Consider yourself lucky your staff and Nadia didn't go to the press.

Let's agree that you used that expression first.

What I say to you confidentially

and what you give as a reason are two very different things.

We have to work on your leadership style.

- Because of this? - Among other things.

You and I are going to see a lot more of each other.

- To what end? - Finding a new version of Torben.

It's badly needed.

- Torben... - Not now.

- Hi, Kasper. - Hi, Torben.

- Did we schedule a meeting? - Oh no.

I just want to go over a minor detail with you.

- A lot of the others like the idea. - You may not be ready for the party.

Did you read my memo on state regulation of the financial market?

I skimmed it, Hasse, and we need to go over a few issues.

Round up the others for a talk.

- Conference room? - Broom closet.

First I'd like to commend Nete on her TV performance. Impressive.

Sharp and straight to the point.

I gathered you because we need to enter a new phase.

It's time to do political work and put the summer camp glee behind us.

We need to collect membership fees.

- I propose DKK300. - Too cheap.

- No, too expensive. - Sounds about right then.

We need to define who we are, and what we stand for.

After that we'll find out who's with us and who's against us.

This party can't be a club where everyone's welcome any longer.

Hello!

Can I have...?

I'd like to thank you all for a fantastic time.

Thank you very much.

Now, please direct your attention to our big notice board.

In many ways, our party resembles that notice board.

You could even say that right now our party is that notice board.

Have any of you actually read what's on it?

I have. I read it from A to Z last night.

And what a marvellous read. What a lot of dreams.

What a lot of opinions.

What a lot of hopes and illusions.

I read that the party is in favour of a green environment.

But we also want to liberalize agriculture.

We want to nationalize parts of the bank sector

but we also want greater corporate freedom.

We want to lower taxes, but raise them a little too.

One party can't embrace all those positions.

I must admit I don't agree with quite a lot of what that board says.

Of course we're all in favour of animal welfare

but we don't want to make animals our fellow citizens.

Hasse, I skimmed your 450-page theoretical book

whose primary goal is a state-run corporate sector.

Sounds like a soft version of the USSR, and that will never be our policy.

Though we're all for cultural Christian values, love thy neighbour,

we will never question women's right to free abortion.

People have come to us with viewpoints

that are more extreme than we intend to be.

To them I have to say very politely:

this is not your party.

We've been high on the feeling of being a mass movement.

Now it's time to slim it down and set its course.

And so I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

So long. We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Thank you ever so much.
