Happy, Happy Page #2

Synopsis: Family is the most important thing in the world to Kaja. She is an eternal optimist in spite of living with a man who would rather go hunting with the boys, and who refuses to have sex with her because she isn't particularly attractive anymore. Whatever. That's life. But when the perfect couple moves in next door, Kaja struggles to keep her emotions in check. Not only do these successful, beautiful, exciting people sing in a choir; they have also adopted a child - from Ethiopia. These new neighbors open a new world to Kaja, with consequences for everyone involved. And when Christmas comes around, it becomes evident that nothing will ever be like before - even if Kaja tries her very best.

Kaja...

Look at yourself. You're drunk.

And you don't care what you wear.

You don't take care of your body.

All you do is beg.

Is it really surprising

that I'm not that interested?

Hi!

Want to come hunting?

I'll be gone for about a week.

If the heat pump acts up,

just adjust that valve.

-Otherwise Kaja can help you.

-No problem.

Apologize and wn back

The love you lost in drunkenness.

You are beautiful, quench my thirst

Wth rosy lips, love or a Pilsner.

I wake up one morning in April

On a normal day

Are you playing with fire, oh no no

Having a cigarette for breakfast

You are too good for me

But I still want you

I don't fit ln

They way that I should

But I want to know how

-Hi.

-Hi there!

I just thought I'd return this.

Thank you.

I didn't realize I had forgotten it.

-Here you go.

-Thank you.

I overfilled it.

Anyway...

About what happened...

I know.

I'm so embarrassed!

I didn't think at all.

Typical me.

I really need to stop drinking.

I apologize.

No, there's nothing to apologize for.

I had a very...positive experience.

.Really?

-Yes.

I must say, you're very good...at...

-Blowing.

-No! No way.

I happen to know I'm not, so...

Elisabeth is

probably much better at...

I could do it again.

If you want.

Why not?

Take it easy.

We have a new choir member today.

Kaja, for those who don't know her.

Nice to have you here.

Let's hear it for Kaja!

Kaja, could you come here?

I need you to sing so I can determine

which voice type you have.

Sing ''All the Birds'. Three, four.

Excellent Let's try it

a little higher. Three, four.

Fine.

Let's go even higher.

Thank you!

-''Thank you''?

-Yes!

I'm serious.

I am.

And I'm not ashamed to say it.

I just feel so...

So good.

So completely ..

...and utterly good.

Do you understand what I mean?

Do you?

Yes.

I do.

I feel like I can do anything.

I don't want you to see my stomach!

-When did you two meet?

-In high school.

But you're not from around here.

I've lived many places. But I went

to high school here. With Eirik.

-0riginally I'm from Sogne.

-From Sogne?

-Do you visit your family there?

-No. I have no family. Fortunately!

Mom didn't want me, so I grew up

in different foster homes.

But now I have Eirik. And Theodor.

They mean more to me than anything.

Don't you agree?

That family is

the most important thing in the world?

Mhm.

Mhm.

You're ugly.

What did you say?

Look, I found your mom!

She's good.

.Do you want to try?

-Huh?

-Ow!

-There. Now start walking.

-Hide!

-No.

-Hi.

-Hi!

Hi.

Are you here?

Yeah.

Congratulate me. I shot a bull.

Wow. Congratulations.

A big bastard.

Want to come to the pub and celebrate?

I thought I'd go fora run.

Maybe I should join you?

-If you think you're up for it.

-Sure.

Absolutely.

Just let me get changed.

Could you grab that?

Sit-ups.

Man, that felt good!

-I know.

-Why did I ever quit?

.You haven't worked out for a while?

-No.

I used to be in great shape.

During my military service.

I wrestled

in the national championships

I was serious about it.

Me and a buddy from Bardufoss.

He was a great guy We used to

room together at training camp.

-I wonder what became of him?

-Did you lose contact?

Yeah. I married Kaja.

You know, family man and all that.

-It is what it is.

-Yeah.

Tell me about it. We think we

don't deserve any better, but we do.

Sh*t!

Well...

I think maybe you...

...misunderstood a little.

I was just kidding!

Right.

Anyway...

.Thanks for the run.

-Yes.

OK. See you later.

Daddy!

Out of my way!

Go ahead, start crying.

Come on, slave!

Come on!

Don't sit down!

-Hey.

-Yes?

Shoud we reset the clock?

Promise no whining afterwards?

We'll just reset the clock.

I don't want to hear,

''We haven't done it in a year.''

OK.

Hi.

Hi.

Excellent. Let's begin.

OK?

Our Christmas concert is coming up.

I thought we'd try some new songs this

year. So I brought ''Amazing Grace''.

I need a soprano soloist.

Any volunteers?

.Kaja, that would be perfect for you.

-No!

-It goes pretty high.

-She can do it!

Yes? Give it a shot!

''Amazing Grace''.

Try.

Do you know it?

Two, three, four.

No, I think it's too high for me.

Nonsense, Kaja, you can do it!

Take some private lessons with Sigve.

Let's all try singing

the melody together, OK?

Two, three, four, five.

Excellent!

Wait.

.Know when like you the most?

-No.

When you are totally honest.

Remember when we were

on our way to Thailand?

.Remember that flight?

-0f course.

You thought you were going to de.

That was so sweet.

When you sat there and held my hand.

Remember what you said to me?

No.

It was so lovely.

It was so sweet.

Kaja? Is it really possible

to sink that low?

-What are you talking about?

-Stop it! I saw you.

And don't tell me you haven't had sex.

Was it good?

Did you do it in our house?

If this is some sort of revenge

for Jan, that's just pathetic.

''Oh Elisabeth, move to the country

wth me.'' To this miserable dump!

My affair is over! It's about time

you start forgiving me.

.Since that first dinner at our place.

-What?

It's been going on

since that first dinner at our place.

When Kaja started crying?

Did you want to comfort her, or what?

That is typical you, Sigve.

- That is typical you ''

-Shut up.

Do you have any idea

how tired I am of that tone of yours?

What are you saying?

Are you head over heels with Kaja?

Yes, as a matter of fact I am.

What are you laughing about?

What's so funny about that?

I'm sorry. 0K.

You're in love with her? Why?

Because she adores me.

You've made it clear

you find me pathetic.

And she's never had better sex.

That's encouraging for me to hear.

I know you find it ridiculous,

but don't care.

There is something

called tenderness. Joy.

I can't expect you to understand.

If only you knew how good it feels

to relate to a warm person.

-Hi.

-Hi.

I'm going for a run.

Thought maybe...

I'm not sure if that...

Hi there.

Sigve is in love. With Kaja.

They're sleeping with each other.

And she has never had better sex.

-Get out of the car.

-Eirik...

Get out of the car!

Eirik...

Is this too primitve for you?

We have a different cuture up here.

Are you OK? I'm sorry.

Sigve, are you OK?

I'm so sorry. Let me see.

Hey!

Sh*t!

Where...

Where fahrst du?

Heraus! Ich kann nicht hier bleiben

ein augenblick mehr. Wirklich!

Verdammt, Kaja, du macht mir krank!

Sigve?

Du wusste sehr gut,

das ich habe Sigve gut geliked.

Was?

Wait!

I'm talking to you!

Move.

Move.

Bist du Homo?

I know that you don't go hunting.

I do your laundry.

Bist du?!

Nein.

This is nicht about mir.

This is about dir.

Don't leave!

Daddy!

Lie down there.

Ow!

I'll go sleep in the lawo.

Honey...

But...

Noa?

Come here.

Let me look at you. Are you OK?

You guys!

Hi.

There.

Here you go.

Cheers!

Your father is an idiot.

Noa?

Noa? Are you asleep?

What is it?

-Do you want to sleep in my bed?

-No.

OK.

Move over.
