04x09 - Livet smiler

[bunniefuu]

I like Yousef.

When I realised you guys were a thing...

We're not.

I've got something to tell you.

Please don't be mad.

Thanks for the email.

This is the answering machine.

SATURDAY

Leave a message after the beep.

Call me.

Is Noora here?
This is Sana.

They must be f*cking at William's place.

She'll come back once she's done f*cking.

I think they went to London.

You may think that, but you also thought Grunde would win Paradise Hotel.

You have poor judgement.

You should be more humble.

I'm afraid
Noora might be mad at me.

She didn't look mad getting in that Aston Martin.

It must be worth million kroner.

I sent the email to William.

I haven't sent any emails in such a long time.

I sent it from Noora's account.

You sent it from Noora's account?

What did you send?

I sent, "I love you. If you love me, come back to Oslo."

A mere email got him to come back?

How come you didn't think of it sooner?

You always brag about writing lots of emails.

You're a grown-up.

That's all it took?

We've been dealing with heartbreak for months now.

Don't feel bad about it.
You did the right thing.

That's worth a high five.

I'm proud of you.

High five!

But I didn't do it for Noora's sake.

I did it because I thought she was dating the boy I like.

Who is he?

A boy named Yousef.

The bloke you flirted with last night?

I once sent a used tampon to a girl who had snogged my ex.

You had a boyfriend?

When I was in th grade.

The only boyfriend you've ever had.

We're talking about Sana though.
We'll talk about you later.

We're discussing Sana and her Muslim beau.

- He's no Muslim.
- Is that so?

Do you want some advice from a guru?

What does it mean?

Last year, I was in the best relationship I've ever been in.

With the son of a Turkish ambassador.

Do you remember Lito?

He was so cool.
He lived in Blindern.

He was very interested in human rights.

He was very sensitive, he confided in me a lot.

He had a magnificent cock.

He was a Muslim.

I may not be religious, but I've flipped through the Bible.

According to the Bible, love is above everything else.

Love on Top, in the words of Beyoncé.

What would Jesus and Muhammad say?

Let the love flow.

We tried the Love on Top way.

I was on top, which you must have heard.

We were often there.

We talked about important stuff, like life and mankind.

We disagreed a lot.

Relationships between religious and atheist people are difficult to maintain.

I cried a lot.

Are there other hotties in that squad?

Elias is handsome, don't you think?

- He's my brother.
- Right!

That wouldn't work.

That would be weird.

Isn't it a thing in Buddhism?

- Maybe in the Bahá'í Faith.
- Maybe.

I feel like doing research. I should do that tonight.

What are you doing today?

SUNDAY

I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER. HAVE YOU?

I HAVEN'T EITHER.

DID YOU GET CHRIS TO CALL WILLIAM?

WILLIAM'S NOT PICKING UP EITHER.

BUT THEN AGAIN, THAT MAKES SENSE.

THEY HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN SUCH A LONG TIME.

THEY'RE PROBABLY MAKING THE MOST OF IT,

AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

Try it.

I'm so bad at this!

Hello!

- What's up?
- Do you want to play?

We're in the middle of a tournament.
She'll play when we're done.

Two against two.

You two are playing against us.

Hello.

Hello.

Did you have fun at Eva's birthday party?

I did, it was a great party.

Did you?

She got awesome presents.

Eskild popping the champagne! It wasn't even his present.

He didn't even bring a present.

He was awesome.

It was good seeing Even again.

You've now lost three times in a row.

You guys need to put up a fight.

We need to break the fast today.

And eat some good food!

How about a Balkan kebab?

I'd rather have a Turkish kebab!

Let's do that before Yousef leaves.

When are you supposed to leave?

- I talked to Noora.
- Yousef!

When do you leave?

- On Saturday.
- Let's do it on Friday.

- No way!
- Why not?

We'll do it on Friday.

Friday is better.
We can chill all evening long.

- I can't.
- What are you doing on Friday?

- I just can't.
- What are your plans?

Where are you going?

To Turkey.

For how long?

Until August.

Yousef, it's your turn.

- Switch with Yousef.
- I always have to switch.

Give me a stick, I'm one short.

- Which one do I have to hit?
- That one.

Great.

If you hit it, you're good.

That's why he's on my team!

Beginner's luck.

If you hit it, you're a king.

If you hit it, you win the game.

That's okay.
It'll be your first victory.

- It's always me and Elias.
- Always me and Yousef.

YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM NOORA EITHER?

TUESDAY

Stop worrying.
It'll be okay.

I have a bad feeling about this.

- What do you mean?
- Something's wrong.

Something's wrong?

How do you know that?

Should we call the cops?

He may have k*lled her.

You're talking rubbish.

You can't know for sure.
He has violent tendencies.

He could be a psychopath like his brother.

That kind of thing is hereditary.

Dear Lord!
They're just screwing!

Stop worrying!

For four days straight?

Without saying anything?

Dunno.
I haven't heard them.

Hello.

William's car is cheesy.

Shocker!

She's alive!

I gotta go.

I just...

Well...

We just...
I...

I feel like...

I feel like we talked about everything.

Like...

He completely opened up.

Do you know what I mean?

I don't know what I used to do, but I finally understand his point of view.

Sana Bakkoush.

That's the best thing you've ever done.

Thank you.

What about you?

How is it going with Yousef?

I don't really know.

Did you guys talk?

We did.

I mean, I tried to talk to him.

But...

He's going to Turkey for the summer.

And he's no Muslim.

And...

You have to talk to him!

Talk to him before he leaves!

Text him!
Now!

I don't have his number.

Message him on Facebook.

We're not friends on Facebook.

Are you for real?

Send him a friend request!

Now!

I'm serious!

Come on!

Send him, "Would you like to meet up?"

I'll log into your account, and send it myself.

I'm not kidding.

Great!

Oh my God!

That wasn't so hard, was it?

Now, life is smiling.

We can do whatever we want.

I've got an idea.

Let's cut class.

Are you in?

We already are.

The bell rang a while ago.

Seriously?

Oh my God.

So that's done.

I thought it would be harder, but it seems pretty natural.

We've been good all year.
The holidays are coming up.

We just have to wait till summer and his reply.

What if he doesn't reply?

Everything will be okay.
Look!

It will.

WEDNESDAY

That's me and Noora at a café.

Red lipstick?

- She always wears it.
- It suits her.

It does.

Again with the red lipstick.

That one was taken at school.

- She's very pretty.
- She is.

That's Chris.

- She seems really fun.
- She's so nice.

Why don't you invite them over?

This is Eva and Vilde.

OF COURSE I WANT TO SEE YOU!

ARE YOU FREE ON FRIDAY?

I'M LEAVING ON SATURDAY.

YOUSEF ACAR ACCEPTED YOUR FRIEND REQUEST

This...

This is a picture of Noora.

Why the sunglasses?

We were at a Halloween party.

We were...

We were wearing costumes.

Lovely pictures!

I like Yousef.

The thing is, he's not a Muslim.

Are you going to meet up?

I know what Islam says.

I can't marry him.

I don't understand why.

Yousef truly is a good person.

You're only .

You're not getting married at .

Sure, but I could get married in three years.

If I still like Yousef, why can't I marry him?

When you're young, you mistake infatuation for love.

Infatuation passes, but love and marriage last forever.

It's like a collaboration.

You give all the love you have to your significant other.

You have someone by your side forever.

No matter what.

Since you're so religious, being married to an atheist could be a lonely experience.

There will be times when you may doubt everything.

Even God.

It's times like this you wish you were with someone who can remind you why you're a Muslim.

Someone who can understand your beliefs.

You know?

It'll be okay.

Hello?

OF COURSE I WANT TO SEE YOU!

ARE YOU FREE ON FRIDAY?

I'M LEAVING ON SATURDAY.

NEXT SATURDAY?

I'M BUSY THIS WEEK.

HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP.

SHOULD WE TAKE OUT THE VAN ON FRIDAY?

THE RUSSEFEIRING MAY BE NEXT YEAR, WE COULD GO FOR A DRIVE ANYWAY.

YES!

Accept my fast although I've behaved badly.

May you take care of Eva, Vilde, Noora and Chris.

May you take care of Isak and Even.

And Elias.

And Yousef.

FRIDAY

ARE YOU GUYS READY?

SANA, WE'LL PICK YOU UP IN MINUTES.

COOL.

I REGRET CALLING OFF THE DATE WITH YOUSEF.

CALL HIM!

YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE NOW!

ACCORDING TO ISLAM, LIFE COMES AFTER DEATH.

EVEN MORE REASON NOT TO MAKE A MOVE.

FOR ME, DEAD MEANS DEAD.

EVEN MORE REASON TO MEET UP WITH HIM!

I UNDERSTAND

WHY MY MUM WANTS ME TO HAVE MUSLIM FRIENDS.

LET'S LOOK AT THE SITUATION FROM A RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE.

NOW I'M INTERESTED.

DOESN'T ISLAM BELIEVE IN DESTINY?

IT DOES.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY AND AN ALMIGHTY ALLAH,

YOUSEF IS PART OF YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON.

IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD BE TOGETHER,

IT COULD BE FOR SOME OTHER REASON,

BUT YOU WON'T FIND OUT IF YOU KEEP AVOIDING HIM.

THAT sh*t IS DEEP.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

GREAT!

I HAVE SUCH GOOD GRADES IN RELIGIOUS STUDIES.

THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER THOUGH.

OF COURSE THEY SHOULD.

THANK YOU.

Hello?

- Hi.
- Hello.

I was wondering...

What are you doing?

Nothing special.

I was wondering...

Would you like to hang out?

sh*t.

I'm sorry.

I already have plans.

I understand.

I'm kidding!
Of course we can hang out!

When do you want to meet up?

Where?

It's up to you.

Don't you want to?

It's in my eye!

Why didn't you tell me?
That sucks!

It could bite my fingers!
I'm so scared.

They scare me so much.

It came out of nowhere.
Hey, mate.

I'm really scared.

I'm pretending to be tough.

There's a spider!

Where is it?

Let's see if you trust me.
Stand here.

I'm waiting.

It's wet!

- Let's see if I trust you?
- Go ahead.

So I know you trust me.

Don't you trust me?

I have to...

I'll stand here.

I've got a better idea.

I'll put my hand over there, and you have to last seconds.

Come on.
I'll count.

I promise.

Just stand there!

Look at me.

- Come on.
- Do it as well.

Let's do it together.

I dare to do it.

I'm not doing anything. Don't worry.

Your turn.

It's about trust.

- I'm standing.
- I can see that.

Ten seconds.

One, two, three... There, I trust you!

Just stand here!

- You don't trust me?
- I do!

Come on, do it.

Come on!

What are you going to do?
You're horrible.

That's unhelpful.

- We trust each other.
- We do.

- How much time is left?
- Ten seconds.

Ten seconds?

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

That was awesome, wasn't it?

That's enough.

Was it good?

It was delicious.

Are you hungry?

I'm really hungry.

We need to buy some food.

You think I haven't brought anything?

You have?

Of course I have!

I don't go on a date with someone who hasn't eaten all day without bringing something to eat!

Of course I've brought something!

I'm Yousef.

Stop it!
You're embarrassing me.

I won't look at you anymore.

That's what the backpack is for!

- Did you make it?
- No.

I wish.

My mum made it.

What's in it?

It's a secret recipe.

My mum made it.
It's a great recipe.

It's too complicated for you.

Why's that?

You need to know how to peel carrots properly.

It's not right up your alley.

Thank you for bringing food.

See?

I don't need to fast to be a good person.

I haven't been a good person lately.

You haven't?

I've behaved pretty badly.

You still have one week left.

You can still make up for it.

Sure.

I was bullied a lot in middle school.

Every time I have to relive it, I just feel awful.

I tend to try and tell myself that people aren't prejudiced against Muslims.

But it's hard.

Even you think religion divides society.

To be honest, society would be divided regardless.

Even if religion didn't exist.

- You think so?
- Yes.

You know, for instance, when you go to a school party, the first thing you do is look for people you know so you can hang out with them and not be on your own.

I think that goes for everyone.

Do you think the world is a party?

On the one hand, there's the sound and lighting club.

They talk sh*t about the others.

Everyone thinks they're the best club and that they throw the best parties.

But deep down, we're all the same.

We all think we're the good guys.

There is neither good nor evil.

We're just people who group together because we don't want to be alone.

Basically, you think we're all the same?

We're all different from a scientific point of view.

Maybe that's why society needs religion.

Democracy isn't based on the idea that people are different from one another.

It means people have equal value.

That's not a scientific reasoning.

Pretending prejudice isn't real doesn't help.

Instead of doing that, you should show what Islam truly is.

You're a Muslim, aren't you?

You're just pretending not to be a Muslim.

Unfortunately, I'm telling the truth.

How can you be positive God doesn't exist?

We don't have the same beliefs.

I don't always have faith.

I sometimes have doubts.

Sure, but you still believe in God.

How can you be so sure of that?

I'm not.

Do you want to hear something crazy?

Did you know that the brain of a cockroachis composed of nine different amino acids which are stronger than any dr*gs?

Amino acids?

Isn't it what they're called?

Amino acids?

They're called antibiotic molecules.

Really?

Alright.

I'm trying to salvage religion, and you're making fun of me?

Did you understand my point?

Do you think it's all just a big coincidence?

Yes or no?

I don't.

Exactly.

You know, if you ever stop believing in God, you're welcome to join my religion.

The school party religion.

I don't know.

Can you marry non-believers?

Absolutely.

I wish my religion were okay with it.

Why's that?

Do you wish to marry a non-believer?

Maybe.

Who?

Stephen Curry.

That's a big guy.

We'll create a basketball team.

Really?

Six kids then?

Alright.

When do you leave tomorrow?

In the morning.

I'll be back though.

When you're over Stephen Curry.
