[bunniefuu]

Nora.

Are you asleep?

Nora? Nora?

Nora?

Leffe?

-Leffe!
-What?

-What is it?
-She won't wake.

Nora? Nora!

Nora?

Are you okay? She's really hot.

Well, since she's here anyway,

we'll take some tests
and see how things look.

Okay.

She's okay.

She was exhausted and dehydrated

from all the chemotherapy that...
well.

-Can we see her?
-No.

They're gonna run some tests
and an x-ray.

To see how the treatment is going.

Since it's a weekend,
we won't hear back until Wednesday.

Is that when we'll know? I mean...

If I still have cancer.

Our hope is that the treatment has
given us the result we want.

But if it hasn't?

Nora...

Let's do this one day at a time.

So go home and rest.

I'll see you on Wednesday.

Okay.

You should rest too.

Thank you.

LIVE LIFE

Here.

Let's see...
We'll get the results...

I work Tuesday and Wednesday.

I'll have to take time off.

There's some meeting,
but I can move that.

We should have a party.

+What?
+Mm. After the results come back.

A celebrate life party.

That sounds fun. But...

Well, New York was cancelled
because of me, so...

I have to do something fun
for you... Here.

PARTY

NORA'S WIG PARTY

Sweetheart,
you know about the internet?

You don't need to print and...

No, but it's more fun.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, there's no a bad reason
to have a party, is there?

No, but should you put your energy
into this right now?

-Maybe you need rest?
-No, please.

Regardless of what happens on
Wednesday, can't we have some fun?

Yes, of course.

Okay, if you want a party,
I'll arrange a party.

I'll sort out the catering,
I'll decorate.

That's lovely, but I'd really
like Dad to do a grill.

Yeah, but he's always grilling.

If you want a party,
let's have a party.

-Exactly.
-Mm, but it's not really...

Nora, we'll sort it out. You don't
have to worry about it.

Where are you going?

Johan wants me to come to the office
for quick meeting.

Oh yeah, that's right.
We saw the fundraiser.

-It was so weird.
-So weird.

Your boss triggers me.
Please fire him.

Oh, hi buddy.

How are you feeling?

-You look strong today.
-Right... Thank you.

It's great you could come in since
your trial period is almost done,

and I was wondering...

How can I help you?

I always want to help.

So, what would you say
to keeping a job here,

permanently employed
as an entertainment reporter?

I know. It's a lot to take in,
but the thing is...

I really believe in you.

So, what do you say?

Um... Yes, I...

Great! That makes me so happy.
Awesome! Everyone!

Can I have your attention
for two seconds?

You're looking at our inspiration.

Who is currently fighting
horrible cancer,

but who still delivers
again and again.

So if everything goes well,
Nora will start working here

as one of our permanently employed
entertainment reporters.

A big round of applause for Nora!

I need to preserve this moment
with a photo.

We'll have to manage
without Milo this time.

-Where's Milo?
-Well, he quit so...

Everyone, can you come over?

Come here,
we'll do a big group photo.

And I want everyone to say,
"f*ck cancer".

That'll be good, right?
Alright, come on. Come here.

Is everyone ready?

Let's do it.

f*ck cancer!

No, damnit. I should've filmed.
We'll have to do it again.

-What's also called Padesky's rings?
-It's pronounced Padesky's.

Padesky's rings.
And what does the method consist of?

The five aspects model,
environment, emotions,

behaviour, thoughts...

-physical reactions.
-Boom!

Crazy... you're so good.

Okay. Should we take it
from the top again?

Hey! How did it go?

Well... I was permanently employed.

Congratulations! That's... Wow!

-Yeah, that's huge.
-Yeah...

Okay...

Well, we've started planning
for the party.

-Yeah.
-Did you buy balloons?

-I bought two 20-packs.
-Balloons?

-I talked to Madde about the buffé.
-It's not a kids' party.

Yeah, could she do veg as well?

-She can do veg.
-Good.

She asked if it should be vegan too.
Should it?

-Yeah, veg means vegan.
-No, veg is veg.

Vegan is vegan.
Should it be vegan?

Hey.

-Hi. Is Milo here?
-Yeah.

-Hey.
-Hey.

How are you doing?

Yeah, I'm good. Or, better.

I'm getting results
on everything later.

But I'm having a celebrate life
wig party at my place.

It'd be great if you came.

You can come too, if you want.

I'm gonna go, um...
See you. If you come.

Bye.

Are you done in the bathroom?

Yeah.

Good night.

MUM DAD

Do the girls know when we're
getting them tomorrow?

MUM DAD ME

Did you hear me?

I never opened that letter.

As long as it's unopened...

I can pretend it says...
something amazing.

Something that isn't just bullshit.

What do you want it to say?

If you could decide.

"Hi, Nora. I have discovered
the cure for cancer."

No, well... I don't know.

I...

know how much I'm hoping

for a second chance tomorrow, so...

Who am I if I don't give her one,
if that's what she wants?

Yeah...

Try to sleep now.
It's an important day tomorrow.

Good night.

Hi, Nora.

Shall we?

Well, we've been seeing each other
awhile now, Nora, you and I.

And Dad.

This has been a long and hard time.

Sorry, what did you say?

The treatment has had the results
we've been hoping for,

so you're cancer-free, Nora.

It's over.

It's over.

Yes!

Yes!

I'm free!

TO HAVE CHILDREN WAS NEVER
A DREAM FOR ME, UNFORTUNATELY,

BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT
YOUR DAD.

One, two, three. f*ck cancer!

Great. Awes...

What do you mean?
What's unnecessary?

Can you hold it properly?

-I'm holding it steady.
-You're holding it in your fingers.

What the hell are you doing?

What in Arnold Schwarzenegger's
name?

-No, stop it!
-I'm sick of you bickering!

This is... God!

Nora, maybe you should go...

Don't tell me what to do!

Okay? I'm not a little child.

-No...
-I know that you just want to help.

I know that. And I could never have
done this without you.

But the idea was...

This party, I wanted to do it
for you, not the other way around.

Don't you get that?

Please, drop the stable g*n
so we can talk?

-What did you say?
-Stop it with the stable g*n?

-The stable g*n?
-The stable g*n in your hand.

I can't deal with this.

What?

-Stable g*n.
-I'm sorry, Doris.

Stable g*n...

What?!

It's called staple g*n, Doris.
Staple, not stable.

Okay, whatever. Nora, I'm sorry.

-We didn't mean to steal the party.
-But you did.

Sorry if I was a bit harsh.

Hurry up a bit,
so we can finish this today.

Hey, gossip queen.
Great that you're here.

I quit.

No... what?

I had really high hopes for this
job, but they haven't been met.

Oh... No?

Remove that f*cking fundraiser
from Insta by the end of the day.

What's going on here?

You simply don't deserve me.

Okay?

Two lines of mustard
and one line of tomato sauce.

Now we're talking.

I opened the letter by the way.

Are we alike? Mum and I?

Sometimes. But most of the time not.

This was in the post this morning.

What does it say?

It's from London. They...

They really like my column and want
me to come for an interview.

Of course.
They'd be idiots if they didn't.

Does that worry you?

Yes. But I'm your dad
so it's part of my job.

-Okay, Mufasa.
-Stop it.

Nora. The hunk has arrived.

You're going over there
to talk to him, okay? Now. Go.

What hunk?

-Hi.
-Hi.

What are you doing here?

You invited me.

Or what, should I have brought
the invitation to be allowed in?

-Haha.
-Hahaha.

You look great. Or...

Congratulations.
I'm so glad you're well.

Or better, or whatever you say.

I am. Thank you.

So, your girlfriend isn't...
Or, she stayed home tonight?

Which one?

Be careful tonight.

And remember to call me if...

I'm sorry. Have fun. Okay?

I'm not going to disappear, Dad.

You're stuck with me.

And I with you.

Thanks for tonight.

-Bye.
-Nora!

-Come on!
-I'm coming!

-Bye, Leffe!
-Bye.

-No, I don't get it. I'm a 36.
-You're not a 36.

-Yes, I am.
-Honey, you're not.

Oh, come on, I know.

-I'm going to report this to Johan.
-sh*t, don't talk about Johan.
