a mistake here.

- Gepard [cheetah]

-Huh?

Gepard!

Gepard?

You mean geopard, then.

-No, it's gepard!

- Gepard?

Ge-pard.

Child molestation...

Oh, no! Yuck!

Child molestation?

Yes, and this is just

the tip of the ice berg.

Do you remember that time

daddy hit me?

Yes, but you had

yourself to blame.

The jack goes on the queen.

- Yes, you're right.

Whoever might that be?

Answer it then.

Yes? Hello?

What? Yes, that's right.

From Smaaland?

Hang on.

It's for you.

From Smaaland.

From Smaaland?

-Yes, from Smaaland.

Hello?

The Swedish voice on the phone

said that Konrad, Pa's son from

the scooter trip to Smaaland...

Has to come and live

with them for a while.

Konrad's mother has

become very ill.

Actually, I've never

been to Oslo.

Phew! Oslo, right!

Not everyone's been to

Smaaland either, you know...

When was he supposed

to arrive here?

Well, they... they just said that

he would be coming...

straight away.

- What do you mean, "straight away"?

Yes, just "straight away".

Yes, here they

can come indeed.

On the 27th, thank heavens,

Cylindia Voelund is coming.

Yes, praise the Lord!

That's taken care of,

his room should be in order now.

Moe? What are you doing?

Aren't you done with that flag soon?

This flag must have been

kept outside all winter.

It's frozen solid.

Anyway, I've just

put on the coffee.

What?

But whatever you do,

don't call him "hen".

Is it so much better

calling him Konrad Poppe then?

But that is his name.

"Konrad" will do.

Poppe! Poppe!

Bah!

Fortunately, on the 27th,

Cylindia Voelund is coming.

He's arriving now.

Let's go and greet him.

Sure, I'm coming.

The car is outside now.

It's too late to raise the flag.

That's just fine.

This was President John F. Kennedy

addressing Congress on May 25, 1961, ...

...launching the Apollo Program.

This giant initiative...

at the time, the biggest technical-scientific

one that humankind had ever endevoured.

Eventually, more than 350.000 people

from some 20.000 industrial enterprises

and 200 universities were involved,

as there were many unanswered

questions that needed answering.

For example, very little was known

about the carrying capacity

of the lunar surface.

Little was known about how people,

in a state of weightlessness,

would stand being cooped up in a tiny

space capsule for prolonged periods of time.

But finally things started

to come together...

...and on July 20, 1969,

at 21:
17:42

the Lunar Module, Eagle,

landed in the Sea of Tranquility.

Later it turned out that

the lunar landing wasn't

at all as trouble-free as

one had been led to believe.

And that explains why the voice

of mission control said that...

...they were about to turn blue before

being notified of a successful landing.

On July 21, at 03:40,

...Armstrong carefully opens

the lunar module hatch...

...and then...

he's ready to set his

left foot on the lunar surface.

Right, welcome home, Konrad.

- Welcome...Konrad.

-It's your turn then. Yes, your turn.

-Ok.

So it's your turn again?

-You're out?

-Yeah.

We'll have to continue

this another day.

Ok.

By the way, I'm wondering

if we've ordered enough bananas.

Are you sure you

heard correctly?

So you don't think I

know any Swedish?

Oh, yes, Moe, I expect you

learned that as well over there.

You sure managed to do plenty of

things the 2 days you stayed in Smaaland.

When are Blomdal

and Vernon coming?

-I already told you, "as soon as possible."

-As soon as possible?

Yeees, as soon as possible.

By the way, they said they'd

bring that kitchen machine.

I see.

Good thing we chose a Braun.

-Yes.

It's strange that Standard

doesn't make such melke, milke...

-Milkshake!

-Oh, milkshake!

-The kitchen machine, that is...

-Right.

I wonder whether they've

gotten their car fixed.

Yeah, you can say that again.

I mean, it was quite a crash.

What a terrible sight that was.

Vernon, in particular.

Yes, it was rather awful.

Vernon is made of tough stuff.

Well, I wouldn't

exactly say that.

-Oh, yes.

-No way.

He hasn't driven his own car

since old Blomdal was alive.

Last year Blomdal and Vernon

almost won the football pools

Keep going.

A bit more.

Stop!

Close call. -Yes, but always

remember to use the choke.

Ok , get out now.

-Sure thing.

Also, go easy on the choke.

Otherwise, you won't get any traction.

Good morning, Vernon.

But are you able to carry anything

with all that stuff stuck to your head?

Good morning, Moe.

I manage just fine, don't worry.

It sure looks heavy.

There you go.

-Got anything else for me?

-Yes, bananas.

Right, the bananas.

-Hello, Moe.

-Hello, Blomdal.

So you two have visitors.

All the way from Sweden, I gather.

A relative?

Pretty close relations as well.

Will he be staying long then?

Well...

Vernon! Just keep on unloading.

- Ok, come on.

Next one.

-That's fine.

Bananas.

Even more bananas!

Ok, we're done.

Come inside, Vernon!

The garage didn't manage

to fix the car this week either.

Anyhow, as long as

Vernon's Saab still works...

Damn this itch!

So how's your

competitor doing, Blomdal?

The foreigner, you mean?

-Yes

-Well, you see...

yesterday he put up

a new sign...

-Again?

...in beautiful hand writing as usual.

And do you know what it said?

''Damn cheap Kneipp

bread today!''

You just don't write that!

''Damn cheap Kneipp bread''.

Top of the morning, boys!

We need to get things started.

Here's the syrup.

-Syrup, yes.

Reindeer meat balls

- Joika brand.

Let's see, next up

is lobscouse.

-Lobscouse.

- Captain's biscuits.

-Captain's biscuits.

-Next, cod liver oil capsules.

Capsules?

Cod liver oil capsules?

I thought you could do

with something extra.

I mean, now that

you have visitors and all.

Thanks a lot.

Very kind of you.

I guess you have enough

bananas to last you a while now.

That's for sure.

Is that him?

About the kitchen machine then?

Oh f***, I almost

forgot about that.

Vernon?

-Yes?

Can you bring us the

kitchen machine in the car?

Okidoki!

Let's see. Popcorn deluxe.

Use a big saucepan with a lid

or an electric popcorn popper...

Well, you don't have

the latter so...

Hi, guys.

-Here you go.

-Vernon, aren't you coming?

I'll be right there.

Oh, well, now the peace

and quiet's coming to an end.

Did you bring the balloon?

Let's see. Your bottle of liquor.

And here's the balloon.

Check this out.

Special pants. They never wrinkle.

Wow, lovely!

Gee whiz!

-I'll see about setting up the net.

It must have hurt like hell...

getting that rig attached

to your head.

Well, I did get

a shot...

or possibly even two.

I don't remember it too clearly.

That's quite fast.

So the bananas

actually go inside here.

It's your turn to choose, Vernon.

Ok, then I say:

Types of bread

Right then, types of bread.

- Whole-grain bread.

Brown bread.

Seed bread.

White bread.

Wheat bread.

Christmas bread.

Wort bread.

Kneipp bread.

Extra kneipp.

There's no such thing
