The Bothersome Man

Hello.

Good afternoon.|My name s Andreas Ramsfjell.

You're expected.

Was the banner for me?|Yes.

Jump in.

I like making a bit of a fuss.|It's nice banner.

I have a car that's newer,|but it's in the shop.

- Are you comfortable?|- Yes.

I'll turn the radio on if you like.

I'd rather not.

- Where are we going?|- To your place.

This is number 42. You're in|apartment F on the first floor.

Here are the keys|to the apartment.

- And this is where your new job is.|- What kind of job is it?

You're an accountant|at a contractor's down town.

A good firm.

- Is that a problem?|- No.

You'll get used to it.

- May I help you?|- I'm supposed to start working here.

- Ravnsfjell, is that right?|- Ramsfjell. With an M.

- Hvard.|- Andreas.

- Welcome.|- Thanks.

- Want a gum?|- No thanks.

- Suppose you want to see your office.|- I should probably meet the boss.

- That's me.|- Say hello to Andreas.

- Hello. Harald.|- Andreas.

Andreas, this is Vigdis.|He'll be working in accounting.

- Excellent. That's Ivar.|- Hello.

Well...|Here we are.

- Nice office.|- Yeah.

A little cash.|Until you get a bank account.

There's something wrong with|the booze in this place.

They've watered it|or put something in it.

Nothing wrong with the booze.

I've been drinking all night,|but it doesn't work.

Doesn't work.|My head's still clear. It's terrible.

Don't listen to him. He's drunk.

I've spent everything I've earned|on booze, but still nothing.

There's no point.

And philosophical.|Drunk and philosophical.

I've tried everything.|Nothing tastes any good.

I used to like hot chocolate.|But it's not any good now.

- Nothing tastes anything.|- Don't listen to him.

And hot chocolate's supposed to be|nice. Dark and tasty.

- Just imagine the smell.|- You'll get used to it.

It's not just hot chocolate.|That was just an example.

It doesn't taste any good.|And it's all like that.

Hot chocolate, p*ssy and burgers.

- Nothing has any taste.|- What's your point?

It's not that it need to be nice|all the time. But once in a while...

Ouch!

Ouch...

Andreas, what happened?

You can't just sit here.

Don't touch me.

Harald? Come here for a second.

Andreas, what's happened?

Don't touch me. I'm OK.

Sorry about this.

Stupid of me.

Thanks for the ride.

Hello.

- Hello.|- Hello, Andreas.

- Do you want some?|- Thanks.

Hello. Want some cake?

- I'm sorry.|- Anything we can do for you?

- No...|- It's important that you're happy.

Just let me know if you need a new|computer or a chair or whatever.

- Everything's fine.|- You're not too busy?

No. It's fairly simple.|Not too much.

Just let me know.

Don't worry about lunch.|Take whatever breaks you need.

- Can I sit here?|- Please do.

- There's plenty to choose from.|- That one. I like that one.

- It's got to be comfortable as well.|- Right. Must be nice to sit on.

- All of them are nice.|- Not all of them.

A lot of them are nice.|That one's cool.

- But it takes up a lot of space.|- Can't put it in a corner.

- Can't put that one in a corner.|- What about that one?

- It looks comfy, and...|- Not a bit too casual?

- I don't want to be a snob, but...|- Casual style. Good idea.

Then we could get|a more minimalist chair with it.

I think you're right.|Difficult to choose.

- Any plans tonight?|- No, I'm free.

We're getting together for dinner|at my place.

You're welcome to join us.

- Something wrong?|- No.

- How's that new girl doing?|- Better than we thought.

Excellent.

- What do you do?|- I sell kitchen interiors.

Interesting.

And what do you do|in the evenings?

I'm taking a class.|I'm interested in interior design.

Interesting.

Maybe we could go out some time?|To a concert or something?

That would be nice.

Good.

Cheers. Nice to se you all.

Here we are.

- Nice area.|- The house is a bit run down.

I'm redecorating.|A bit much for just one person.

Good night.|Thanks for walking me home.

My pleasure. Good night.

Unless you want to come in...

Good job.

- Is that colour azure?|- No, it's coral. Cool coral.

They're beautiful.

- I was sure it was azure.|- It could be.

I think the manufacturers name|their own colours.

- Really?|- That's my impression.

One manufacturer's cool coral is|another manufacturer's azure.

The bathroom is important.

Some say the|kitchen is the most important, -

- but I think it's the bathroom.

What do you think?

The bathroom is important.

- Andreas?|- Yes!

I don't like the white colour|in the living room.

- Couldn't you sleep?|- No, I woke up.

I had the strangest dream.

You were in it,|and the man at the corner shop.

The priming takes time.|Of course you're a bit tired.

And a huge moose.|It came running down the street...

I don't want you to talk like that.

- I don't like it.|- I'm explaining why I couldn't sleep.

I don't know what you're doing,|but please stop it.

There's still quite a lot left to do.

- Andreas?|- Yes?

Could we put a bathtub|in the bedroom?

- A bathtub?|- We could knock this wall down.

That could be nice.

I saw some nice rattan furniture|in a magazine.

Don't you think|rattan would be nice?

Yes...

You haven't seen any teabags,|have you?

No.

I'm a coffee man.

- Want me to get some for you?|- No, there's no need.

Ingeborg? Would you like to|go to the movies with me?

It doesn't have to be the movies.

We could do that.

- This is Anne Britt.|- Hi, it's me.

I'll be a bit late to night.|You'll have to eat alone.

- I have to run some errands in town.|- OK.

I'll see you later.

Bye, then.

I'll walk you to the door.

- I had a nice time tonight.|- The film wasn't too good.

- It wasn't that bad.|- It was nice anyway.

Are you uncomfortable with|me living with someone else?

No.|We haven't done anything wrong.

And what if we did something?

No.|It doesn't bother me.

Unless it bothers you.

I guess I should go to bed.

- It's late.|- And we have work tomorrow.

Can I see you again?

Yes. That would be nice.

We should probably|get back to work.

I'll wait here a while.

So no one sees us together.

- Wouldn't it be nice not to hide?|- It would.

Do you want anything?|Cake?

Yes, please.|That would be nice.

I've met someone else.

- What do you mean?|- Another woman.

Why?

I fell in love with someone at work.|I didn't plan to.

- I thought we were happy.|- We were.

- But then I fell in love.|- Why?

I'm going to leave you.

We're having guests on Saturday.

I haven't found an exact time,|but I wanted you to know.

Are you leaving before Saturday?

- I can stay until Saturday.|- That would be good.

Ingeborg.

Ingeborg?

- Sorry.|- Andreas? What are you doing here?

- Come down.|- What?

Come down.

- I was already in bed.|- Come with me. I have a surprise.

- I can't go out dressed like this.|- You look terrific.

This was a nice surprise.

This isn't the surprise.

I've left Anne Britt.

I told her I was in love with|someone else. I had to.

So now we can move in together.

- Aren't you happy?|- Well, yes...

We don't have to meet in secret.
