Buddy Page #3

That would be nice,|but I should be heading home.

I don't understand group sex.

It's hard enough|trying to pick up one person.

What do you say?

"What's a group like you|doing in a place like this?"

- A beer, please.|- Make that two. I'm buying.

A beer for my star.|You're a big hit.

But we're running out of good|material. Could use something new.

- I have some tapes here.|- I can take them now.

Tomorrow's show won't be live.

Karsten's watching it at his place|with some friends.

Bring a girlfriend and come on by.

Here is a newcomer.|Frode Giertsen from Lrenskog!

Hey and ho!

My name is Frode Giertsen.|Not much of a name.

I thought I'd change it|to Thomas... Giertsen.

But I can't, because Thomas|is my brother. Just kidding!

You look sweet.|Do you eat a lot of sugar?

I was at the airport the other day...

What did you think? My timing was|maybe a little off at the end, but...

- You guys still struggling?|- No problem.

- Are you here with him?|- No.

- How's it going?|- Great. Work keeps me busy.

Actually, it's not that great.

Nikolai shoved all his paperwork|over on me.

I even had to baby-sit his kids.|It turned out he was married.

Go ahead, let me have it, TV star.

I should head home.

It was just those keys.

That really hurt me.

Bye.

Elisabeth!

Hi.

I jumped ship in Drbak. Almost|died from an overdose of folk music.

- Things got so stupid when I left.|- It's OK.

It's my fault.|I can't handle situations like that.

I hardly noticed.

I just don't want to end up|like my mom.

Dumped and hurt enough|to end up on Ricki Lake.

I like you, Kristoffer.

I was wondering if you like me.|In the same way.

Hi, Henriette!

Are you making breakfast?

Are you all right?|You look tired.

Are you sailing today?

I just came to pick up some stuff.|I'm moving out.

Is it me, or is she a little weird?

I had a great time.

Talk to you later?

- There's a dinner at Karsten's...|- Great!

Hi there!

Call me.

See? Once you're on TV, they love|you. People love emotional stuff.

- TV2 paid us yesterday.|- A lot?

Yes!

- Hi, nice of you to come.|- Elisabeth.

Go up and have a seat.|The show is about to start.

- Kristoffer, meet Anne.|- Anne Pedersen.

- We love your segments.|- Anne is head of programming.

This is Elisabeth, my... girlfriend.

We hope you plan|on staying with us at TV2.

I'm not going anywhere.

How would you like to take six months|to develop a new concept?

A travel show.|They're always popular.

You want me to use six months...|to think about something?

- It's starting!|- Let's talk later.

His own show!|Not bad, huh?

- Do you have a job for me too?|- Drop by tomorrow, we'll talk.

Let's go in|before Karsten gets cranky.

Monday, June 3. Geir claims that old|milk is not hazardous to your health.

- This is nasty!|- Holy sh*t!

Thank you, Tine Dairy!

- What's your favorite team?|- United. What's yours?

- So that was your son? Cool kid.|- Wasn't he?

- Where are you going?|- I have to talk to Geir.

Dinner is served. And Anne|had that new job offer for you.

- This is important, Elisabeth.|- So is this.

Try to act professional.

You promised not to tell anyone!

I'm going to bed.

- It was an accident.|- Now he knows I'm his dad!

You didn't even come home|to explain!

- I was at an important dinner.|- What's happening to you?

- I said I'm sorry.|- Don't ever film me again.

- Don't be a baby.|- You can forget it.

- You have a contract.|- I don't give a sh*t!

- Try to act professional!|- What did you say?

I told you a secret|because I thought we were buddies.

Geir...

Geir?

We have to go to work.

We're leaving in two days. I'll come|and get Henriette's things tomorrow.

We have to go get vaccinated.

If that isn't absurd...

- Congratulations on your new job.|- I get to receive guests and stuff.

- Let me get a beer.|- Bring me one too.

Two beers, please.

Could you turn that up?

Today there seem to be no limits|to what is allowed on TV.

You talk about ethical rules, -

- but on your show|you ridicule Stig Inge, -

- a person who clearly has problems.

I forgot to turn off the TV.|I'll come later.

That isn't real.|He's just acting.

- He's an actor?|- We wouldn't air it otherwise.

That's part of the fun.|What is fact, what is fiction?

- Are you all right?|- Sure. Fine.

That talk show on TV...

It was a misunderstanding.|I understand if you were hurt.

Don't worry about it.

Ham-Kam?

I'm from Hamar.|That's always been my team.

Wherever Ham-Kam plays|They have victorious days

And so we sing our refrain|Ham-Kam, Ham-Kam, Ham-Kam

Are you a true hardcore fan?

Not now.|I was when I was a kid.

They had good teams back then.

- Are you from Hamar?|- Yes. I moved here after the divorce.

We may have been|to the same games.

They may suck now, but...

You root for your favorite team, even|when they make fools of themselves.

You always believe in them.

Even when nobody else does.

They'll be back on top soon enough.

Kristoffer, that TV stuff...

I do put on an act.

I do.

- Have you told them something else?|- No.

Good.

Don't say anything else,|or people will think I'm...

Elisabeth is here, so I should...|Good night.

It's Dag.|See you at the editorial meeting.

Want to play a game?

Kristoffer attacks.|Geir seems paralyzed.

He scores!|Kristoffer leads 1-0.

There's another goal in the air.|The crowd goes wild.

I liked that piece on your son.|Touching.

Give me a break!

You forgot this.

So you can enjoy a bath on board.

This isn't mine.

It must be Elisabeth's.

That's...

I saw that show last night. Why|did they say Stig Inge is an actor?

- It's complicated.|- Did you tell them that?

Sort of.

Why?

I thought it was the only way|to get the show. I was wrong.

- I thought you were friends.|- We are.

It just happened.

Nothing turned out as I had planned.

- Have you told them it isn't true?|- I'm heading over there now.

Did I forget something?

What would we do without that?

We're leaving tomorrow.|We have a lot to do.

We'll send you a postcard.

- Where have you been?|- Did you watch the show last night?

Stig Inge's antics may seem funny,|but we have to consider our viewers.

Karsten wants you and Stig Inge|in the studio tonight.

So you can talk about the new|humor and your celebrity status.

- I don't think he's ready for that.|- Stig Inge said he's coming.

I called him up. He was very|understanding. He'll be here.

Time for you to cooperate.

So we're all agreed?

- We can't bring him up here.|- Sure we can. If he's with you.

Don't screw up.|You're about to get your own show.

Take the subway tonight, and shoot|something funny for us to use.

Elisabeth will pick you up|at the station.

Mette, can you deliver|a press release?

I have to go.|Bye.

You sure you want to do this?

Imagine if we didn't.|They'd probably go nuts.

Fine.|Let's do it.

It'll be cool. Just the two of us.|We can discuss Ham-Kam.

This time you can't say you forgot|to turn off the oven, understand?

Are you going to be on TV tonight?
