Orange Girl Page #2

Hang on.

-Wait! Stop!

-I can't see anything.

-Stella, are you coming?

-In a minute!

Screw you and Microscope Boy!

Take it easy!

You almost broke it.

By the way, don't worry about Joakim.

I got used to it ages ago.

He's like that with everyone.

He just wants to keep an eye on

his little sister.

-Does he need to?

-It depends.

-Anyway, comets.

-Don't lean on that.

Why do they have tails?

When a comet comes

close enough to the sun, -

- it starts to melt.

And it trails

a bunch of sand and gravel.

That's what looks like a bright tail.

What about shooting stars?

Shooting stars are -

- so that you can make a wish.

-Good luck with that comet.

-Thank you.

What is it with you? Are you

stressed out about your finals?

Or is it still that Orange Girl?

She's forgotten about you.

Six months? No one remembers

that long. Forget about her.

Hi.

-How's it going?

-Huh? With me?

With the Orange Girl.

And that guy who's searching.

-Does he find her?

-I don't know.

Relax.

We have a fortune in empties here.

Let me just check

if that gasket has come.

Dammit.

Not today either!

Seville?

Do you know anyone in Seville?

"Can you wait a little longer?"

-What is it?

-Give me that!

We're room-mates.

What's yours is mine!

-It's from her!

-The Orange Girl?

-I have to go there.

-What are you talking about?

You can't go now.

Your finals are in four days!

Finals in four days!

What's the best way

to find someone?

Sit in one place

and hope she'll show up,

or move around

from place to place?

If two people

are meant for each other,

wouldn't they eventually

find each other anyway?

What do you think, Georg?

Is everything that happens

part of a larger plan?

Or simply a succession

of random occurrences?

Hi.

Hi.

I've been looking for you.

I asked you to wait.

All fairy tales have rules.

Which rules applied

to this fairy tale?

-What were those oranges for?

-What did you think?

I thought maybe

you had a vitamin deficiency.

I was going to paint them.

Why not just buy one,

and paint it several times?

No two oranges are alike.

That's why you are here now.

Did you come all the way here

just to meet some Woman?

Some random woman?

Exactly.

How did that guy at the caf

know who I was?

He has seen

one of my paintings, I think.

A painting you painted here?

Of me?

Where has he seen it?

Jan Olav.

How do you know my name?

And where I live?

Do you really not recognize me?

No.

Help me. Give me a hint.

How many squirrels have you known?

I'm a squirrel.

Is it you?

Of course!

We were inseparable.

Why didn't you just tell me?

I wanted you to rediscover me.

The way I am now. Today.

Do you believe in everlasting life?

In life after death?

No. We are a product of cosmic dust.

It's a miracle we exist at all.

-We are only here this once.

-But that time is now.

-I want to be here forever.

-Nothing is forever.

I believe that the moment

is the only eternity there is.

-Where do you live?

-At a hostel for young girls.

-Catholic. It's lovely.

-Wow. A convent?

A fortress.

No boys can get in there.

That sounds great.

No, I'm kidding.

-It's impossible.

-Do we have to sleep?

-I have to leave tomorrow.

-What? Why?

-Physiology finals in two days.

-And you're here?

What did you say about eternity?

That the moment is now?

Did you see that?

The shooting star?

That means we can make a wish.

It can also mean

that someone's going to die.

Imagine how brief

a human life is, Georg.

It takes billions of years

to create a man.

But only a matter

of seconds to die.

I LOVE YOU:

I love you.

Mom.

Stella. The sky is clearing.

Do you want to come out?

-Look!

-It's freezing out here.

-Think we'll see that comet?

-With a little bit of luck.

Are you the lucky type?

Maybe?

How about your dad? Did he

get lucky with the Orange Girl?

Did they end up together?

The Orange Girl was, or is...

She turned out to be my mother.

Now.

Now I know why

she never found another man.

True love lasts forever.

Nothing lasts forever.

Wow.

Awesome.

Let me see. Move!

You have to let me see.

Holy sh*t.

Wow.

-Did you make a wish?

-Mhm.

But it's a secret.

How about you?

Maybe.

I've got you now.

-Are you allright?

-Sure I'm fine. Just a little wet.

-Want to go back to the telescope?

-No, I think I head inside.

-How far is the train station?

-You need a couple of hours.

-Are you leaving?

-Yeah. I have to go home.

I'm catching the 11 o'clock train.

You only came for the comet, after

all. I'm glad you got to see it.

Hi, Henrik.

Yeah, it was incredible.

Awesome.

You should have been there.

Thanks.

-Bye.

-Bye.

We got married that summer.

Some felt that was much too soon.

But we had no time to lose.

Imagine that you could choose

if you wanted to be born.

But you would know

that your life would only last

a few short moments.

And the better it would be to live,

the worse it would be to die.

What would you choose?

Hi. Are you home already?

I was expecting you tomorrow.

-This is Jrgen.

-Veronika has told me all about you,

Strange that.

I haven't heard sh*t about you.

-Georg.

-Shut up. Sh*t!

Georg!

Georg.

-Open the door!

-How long have you known him?

A while.

That letter was one long

declaration of love for you.

Orange Girl, my ass.

No matter what you might think.

I loved your father.

-He was the love of my life.

-The love of your life?

What about that other jerk?

The love of your life, number two?

How many do you intend to have?

Dad wrote about

how he did everything to find you.

You won't find love

like that again, mom. Ever.

No, Georg.

But is there only one star

in the universe?

I didn't choose someone else

over Jan Olav.

He died from me too.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Here.

You probably want to read that.

Thank you.

Remember I said

I didn't remember anything about him?

I thought I had forgotten him.

But.

Suddenly.

I saw something.

It was perfectly clear.

And it happened right here.

On a night just like this.

-Daddy, I can't sleep.

-Come here.

See that star over there?

That's Sirius.

And there? That's a constellation.

That's the Big Dipper.

And over there? That's Venus.

Every time I look at Venus,

I think of your mother.

There are so many stars.

Are you going to die?

We are all going to die.

I'll be sad, when you die.

Let's go fly!

Up you go!

Mom?

Do you know what that one's called?

That's Venus.

Everytime dad saw that,

he thought of you.

What are you thinking?

That we only live once.

And that's now.
