Here, here, little ghost.

Here, here!
[Part 8: ESTIMATE AND POV]

That scratched my back nicely.
Thank you so much!

Just you wait!

Hey, Dad wants you to move the go-kart!

By the way, how are you doing?
Caught anything yet?

–No, they go right through fishing nets.
–Fishing nets? Are you stupid?

Why don't you use a plastic bag?

Phew, what a woman!

–Hi, Staffan! How's it going?
–Oh, I'm fine...

Hey, do you know a lot? I mean,
since you're so old.

Well, you learn something new every year.

Like how it feels to get stuck in the door,
or how quickly a family can swim across the moat...

Not like that! I mean real things
that you'd learn in school.

I never went to school.
What would you learn there?

Maths, writing, reading... How things work.

Do they teach you how to
bake a cheesecake?

–Absolutely!
–Great!

Staffan! Didn't we have something
very important to attend to? We did, yes?

–Oh, right...
–What are you doing?

–We're just going to Knst-frrr-biodate!
–How does one do that?

Ah, it's a bit complicated... You have to
be a ghost to understand.

If you understand things I don't,
could you tell me how to get this robot to work?

–Are there any things I'd need to do that?
–That's right!

Go downstairs to the kitchen and bring
an estimate and a POV.

Then we'll be in business!

–Will it work afterwards?
–As surely as death itself!

OK, I'll come back with the stuff later.
Stay here for now!

–"Estimate"... That's not a thing!
–I know that, obviously!

But we must destroy the robot
before Lillan brings it to life.

–You wouldn't want it to visit The Count...
–Nonono, of course not!

It can't disturb the Count...
A good Count is an undisturbed Count.

Dad, I need an estimate and a POV.
Do you know where they are?

I see... An estimate and a POV...
I remember that.

My physics teacher told me
to bring those once.

Suppose I was talking or
fidgeting too much in class...

Anyway, he sent me to the janitor, who then
told me to go to the woodworking class.

But the class' supervisor told me I was
dumb... as a rock! You know what he said?

There's no tool called a POV, and an estimate
is something you judge using your eyes.

–Then I realised I had been tricked.
–Tricked? Then have I been, too. Why?

–Because they don't exist.
–But Jean told me...

Jan? Who's Jan?

–What will you do with it?
–I'll throw him off the roof.

–Then he'll be as flat as a pancake.
–What a great idea!

I know! That's why I became a servant
and you a stable hand...

What does that mean?

You're not as smart as me...
But don't worry about that.

You take care of the children,
I'll handle the rest.

"Take care of"? I'll have you know
that they aren't easy to take care of.

Keep them busy with your
old, funny parlour tricks.

Do cartwheels... Step dance... Whatever you want.
As long as they don't follow me!

That Jean isn't fun. He's a liar.

–Is it Jean? Or is it Staffan?
–It's me.

Hey, sometimes you're invisible, sometimes
you're not. How do you control that?

You know, you just think about
becoming invisible, and then you are.

–How do you get things to float?
–Oh, you just lift it like this...

Whoa! Cool, a flying joystick!

Has anyone seen my glasses?
Seriously, I have no idea where I put them.

So every time I look for something
I need to look for my glasses first.

–They're on your head.
–What?

How silly of me. Then I can look for
the thing I was looking for from the start.

What's floating over there?
You know, the... gear lever...

Oh, that! It's just a new computer
program that gets things to float.

–A flight simulator.
–Oh, one of those!

I was going to get you one for Christmas.
Now you'll get a soft present instead.

Wait, Lillan! You can't leave yet!

I'll show you how to turn a sofa into
a bunch of baby chickens!

–Ugh, I've already seen that on TV.
–Hey, I was thinking of exploring the place.

–Could you show me around?
–No, you must stay here!

Wait, I'll show you something
reeeeally strange...!

Who's taken my robot?!

The robot?

Jean! Have you taken my robot?

What are you doing? First you trick me
and then you take the robot from
our room without asking!

C-Could you help me?
This tin can is a bit heavy...

He's not a tin can, he's a robot!
What were you going to do with him?

Yes, yes, I just wanted to help out.

You said you wanted him to work, so I thought
he might want some fresh air.

–He's as heavy as a castle, could you...?
–If you promise to ask next time.

Yes, yes. I promise.

By the way...

Dad said there aren't any tools called
estimates and POVs. Why did you lie?

What, I never claimed
that they would be tools...

Then what?

Well, it's more like...
A way... To look at things!

For example, if you think
that this robot is fun...

I can have a different Point Of View and
think it's not that fun.

I see...

–Let me through.
–H-hold on, want to watch
when I'm juggling pears?

I can juggle 20 pears at the same time
without dropping any!

Whatever...

–How about bananas?
–Ivar, could you help me? It's heavy.

Staffan! I told you
to keep the children at bay!

I-it wasn't that easy when
they went separate ways!

–I can't split myself in two, you know!
–You can't?!

No, because then my hips hurt really badly!

No matter... I doubt Lillan could put Spark
back together. She's not bright enough.

But you could never be too sure...

Would you consider checking what the
children are up to, or would it hurt?

Ugh!

–Hi, kids! What'cha doing?
–I'm surfing the web.

"The web"? Is there a spider web
in that box?

Uh, almost. But it's called the internet
and it covers the entire world.

Internet... How scary!

Is there a big spider in the box too?

–Yeah, a massive one. Ooo~!
–Could it get out?

No, but you could find nearly anything.
You just write something like this...

... and wait for a bit. And then
you catch results just like that.

Whoa, we've found Santaworld!

–Amazing!
–And you can write your wish list on here!

I'd like a sword.
And it's called Excalibur...

Since I'm King Arthur sometimes.
... What would you like, Staffan?

Right, it's like this:

Right, it's like this: like, yes, I'd like to-

Right, it's like this: like, yes, I'd like to-
you know, you could-

Right, it's like this: like, yes, I'd like to-
you know, you could- Oh! Let's say- wait, no-

Right, it's like this: like, yes, I'd like to-
you know, you could- Oh! Let's say- wait, no-
In- I...

–No, let me think for a minute.
–OK...

–Uh, what would you wish for, Lillan?
–I wish this robot would work.

Does it have a brand or a name?

I think it says "Spark 2020" on the side.
How come?

Lillan would like something...

That would get Spark 2020...

... to work.

Come on, Ivar. Do you really think that's real?
It's just someone trying to earn money, get it?

Of course it's real! Look for yourself:
"Santa is in Santaworld. If you're good,
you get to wish for a Christmas gift."

–How do they know if you're good?
–Uh, you have to write it down.

Lillan is good, because she wants
to help Dad...

...with moving the satellite...

...with the robot.

–Ugh, Santa is just imaginary.
–Let's see about that.

Now I know what I would like!

Great! What would you like
the most in the entire world?

Cheesecake!
