Happy, Happy Page #3

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.

Is Theodor going to call him daddy?

Will Theodor call him daddy?

No, don't you worry about that.

Now go to sleep.

There.

-It's best you stay here. Tonight.

-You're probably right.

-Yes.

-OK.

Good night.

Sleep tight.

All right. Sleep tight.

Hello?

Hi.

Eirik? Eirik?

Eirik, could we try another position?

Maybe I could stand? 0r from behind?

No, I want to look nto your eyes.

I feel much closer

if I can look you in the eyes.

-I'll take care of you.

-That won't be necessary, Eirik.

Eirik, stop.

Stop.

Stop for Christ...!

Hi Jan. It's Elisabeth.

Yes, it's been a long time.

How are you?

Hello, can everybody calm down?

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

It's Christmas Eve, everyone.

We are all excited.

Let's warm up with ''prille prolle''.

Everybody now.

And down.

.Where do you think you're going?

-Home.

Go back and sit with Noa.

It won't be long now.

Is daddy coming?

I don't know, honey.

Kaja, have you rehearsed your solo?

-Yes.

-Because we can skip it.

No, I really want to do it.

Fine.

OK.

One more time.

Ow!

Ow!

-Go ahead. Start crying.

-Dlnner's ready!

Keep your mouth shut.

That tasted delicious!

-Elisabeth, would you like some more?

-No thanks.

You're so discpined. I'm not.

-Here's to the chef.

-Cheers!

Shoudn't you slow down a little?

That dress is lovely Elisabeth.

Is it new?

-Did you buy it at the mall?

-I bought it in Paris.

No, you didn't! Seriously?

-Sigve was with me.

-Really?

-How ironic.

-Ironic?

Yes.

I've always dreamt of going to Paris.

Look at the boys.

I love celebrating Christmas with kids.

I do! I could fill

the whole house with them.

But that's me! ''Hi, I'm Kaja.

I want to have kids. Impregnate me.''

You should talk to Sigve about that.

He always wanted lots of kids,

but I was unable.

Are you all right?

What just happened in there?

Come on.

Get up.

At least Noa appreciated it.

-Are you crying?

-No.

Elisabeth.

I can't live like this anymore.

I'miss you!

I just wanted to tell you

that I've put on coffee.

Why can I never learn?

Why do have to eat so much?

Want some water?

-Here.

-Thank you.

I don't think

I'll ever like rice pudding again.

-And on Christmas Eve!

-Hey, Kaja. .

I knew it.

I asked him, but he sad no.

''it's you,'' he said.

But it isn't my fault.

It isn't my fault!

Why am I so damn stupid?

Stand there in church and...

I'm so goddamn stupid!

All I really want is for him to love me.

I've never meant anything

to you, have I?

In a sense I think

you have meant everything to me.

But you love Elisabeth, don't you?

Aw, that's kind of nice.

Sh*t...

-There you go.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Shoud we open some packages?

Let's!

Let's see...

Maybe we should start with this one?

Look, mom!

I can do it!

That was a big success.

Is that Sigve's scarf you're wearing?

Why in the world did you choose me?

I had to.

You we'e so in love with me.

You seemed thankful to be dating me.

I don't know, Kaja.

Maybe I thought I could help you.

You could help me?

You were so miserabe from before.

I figured it couldn't get any worse.

You have lied to me all along.

I know that everything is my fault.

But I can fix it, Kaja.

I will fix it.

I think you'll have to figure this out

on your own.

I'm not leaving you.

No.

Maybe not.

But I'm leavng you.

-Dad, I can fly it! See?

-Yeah, I see.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-0K. Bye.

-Bye.
