That's great, keep going!

I'll get it.

Silverberg.

Hi, thanks for calling me back.

It's about my son,

Sebastian Silverberg...

- To the elevator?

- No, first left before the elevator.

Welcome home.

So I'm starting my new job

on Monday.

Friday is my last day

in the store! Yes!

The new catalogue is here

and the collection looks sweet.

- Who's this? You have a brother?

- We miss you buddy. Call me ASAP.

Hey, Sebbe, it's Oskar.

Me and Pelle

just passed that Brazilian model

who tried to go down on you,

in the toilet at East,

and we just had to call you.

We miss you like hell. Call us!

...added you on facebook in January but

you haven't confirmed my request yet...

- A bit 80s with an answering machine?

- Nice if you don't feel like talking.

I bet.

I guess it fits the American Psycho

look you're going for here.

- Were those your friends?

- Yeah.

- Close friends?

- Sort of.

I found a CD with a hot picture

of you on the cover. Can I put it on?

- If you must.

- I must!

Oh my god! I'm blown away.

Your voice is amazing! I don't know

what to say, you're gifted!

The lyrics sucked,

but feel my goosebumps!

- The lyrics?

- Feel!

- What about the lyrics?

- It's like a 90s boy band song.

- Such a great voice!

- Thanks.

- Who wrote your songs?

- I did.

Oh... Well, maybe

I didn't really get the lyrics.

What's it about?

Um, well, it's, you know...

You're walking down the street,

you see a girl. She's hot.

You think okay. You know.

She's dressed hot. You think okay...

Sort of...

You have to dare to put yourself

out there when you write.

Let yourself be vulnerable.

Dare to show your feelings!

Without feelings

the words are empty.

Write about heartbreak,

about rejection.

It has to be personal, specific,

from the heart, like Coldplay,

or David Gray.

Or Paolo Nutini!

- Cut that out!

- You have to feel...

...the magical pain of life!

- What romantic bullshit.

Magical pain? Come on!

What? You never had your heart

broken? Been rejected?

Never been in love?

- Ached for someone?

- No, not really.

What have you been doing

all your life?

I'll tell you some other time.

Can I ask you something?

Are you a one-piece girl

or a bikini babe?

- I sunbathe naked on private jetties.

- Oh yeah?

You liar!

NOW you dare all of a sudden!

Here come two super-skinny chicks

with pouty lips.

One has a big-eared rat

on a string.

Oh wow. Two very elegant businessmen

right behind you.

- Not bad. But something is wrong.

- What?

One of them walks funny. I bet

he's just had a sack and crack wax.

Oh, he's itchy.

He may have lost some skin.

- More, more!

- We have a cougar, could be Russian.

With a real Playboy bunny body.

Oops, her heel is stuck in the grate.

She's struggling, she's about to fall

- and someone comes to the rescue.

You're crazy.

You're making this up!

- No, I swear!

- Playboy bunny body...

- Do I have something in my teeth?

- No.

When will you learn

to trust me?

I won't let you go around with

food on your face or your fly open.

- You might not notice.

- I notice most things.

- You're so vain!

- I just don't want stuff in my teeth.

- Ice cream?

- Ice cream... That sounds good.

The bench is here.

Hi! Excuse me, have I seen you

somewhere before?

- I don't think I've seen you before.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah...

- But I'm sure...

- Where do you hang out?

- Where don't I hang out?

- Maybe it was at the terrace at F12?

- F12, maybe!

- By the way, I'm Sebastian.

- Lisa. Nice to meet you.

- What are you doing tonight?

- I'll probably go out.

- Maybe we can meet up?

- Wow, pushy!

Why don't you put your number

on my phone?

Write:
"Lisa with the pretty hair. "

- You have a lot of Lisas?

- There's Lisa with the ugly hair too.

There. Your phone.

Oh! I keep it in my back pocket.

Actually the other one. Thanks.

- See you.

- I'll be in touch.

Here's your ice cream.

Who was that?

- You saw her? Was she hot?

- You don't know her?

- What was she doing?

- Nothing. Was she hot?

She was a typical...

She was average height.

Thin - not creepy thin,

but a fairly straight figure.

She had a friendly face,

thick eyebrows, natural brown hair

and hazel eyes. What's so funny?

You were so observant! Doesn't

sound like anything for me anyway.

- Why not?

- Just doesn't sound like any fun.

So, what do you look like then?

Looks are important to you,

aren't they?

They're important to everyone. Those

who deny it are either lying or ugly.

In which case they're not

in a position to be picky.

- Come on, what do you look like?

- How do you think I look?

In my head you're... fit,

with fine features, perfect taste in

clothes... and I'm thinking blonde

with blue eyes. Like a shorter

version of Cameron Diaz. Am I close?

- Pretty much...

- I'm so good at that!

Here comes a wasp!

What! Is it on me?

Take my ice cream! Take it!

- I shouldn't have had any ice cream!

- It's gone now.

- Do you like TV talent shows?

- Not a fan, why?

There's a new one coming this fall

and I thought you should audition.

- Forget it!

- Why not?

Sebastian Silverberg,

the Blind Singer?

It'd be like that armless guitarist

on YouTube. Forget it!

- How are the road trip plans going?

- Fine. The saving is slow.

You're so cheap,

it ought to go quickly.

- I'll get there eventually.

- Of course you will.

That's good! But how about

"All alone - where are you" instead?

- That would work.

- Okay, then go into...

The bridge, followed by

the new chorus.

From the top.

Good!

- I ought to be getting home.

- What time is it?

- 1:
30.

- That's practically breakfast time.

There's no point in going home

before breakfast.

- And we have 15 verses to write.

- Okay, let's do that.

Send in your audition demos to

our new talent show, Star Struck!

Sebbe...

I may have accidentally sent

your demo to the show...

- Accidentally?

- Don't be mad - you're so good!

Especially since I've been helping

with the lyrics!

- I'm not doing it.

- Just see if you get an audition!

I'm not going on one of those shows.

- A bad attitude doesn't suit you.

- But everything else does!

Stop it! That drives me crazy!

What's that? I can't hear you

through a mouthful of chips.

Sebastian!

- It's your parents.

- Open up, throw us the key!

- Call the police.

- Sebastian! Fantastic news!

- What?

- They've decided to operate!

- What?

- They want you there tomorrow!

- I'm going to have?

- Yes!

- Oh, hi.

- Hi.

- I can't find my toothbrush.

- I'll try to find it.

I thought you could

hold on to my watch.

- Can I put it in my bag?

- As long as you don't scratch it!

I need to tell you something...

Hi there.

It's time for a little sedative.

Ah, nice.

What did you want to say?

Oh, nothing.

- I should go now.

- Okay.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Mia?

- See you soon.

- See you.

Mia?

Sebastian! Mia had to go.

She'll be back tomorrow.

- You look beautiful, Mom!

- Oh, darling!
