04x06 - Pride and prejudice

[bunniefuu]

Clap your hands if you love Lyn

Clap your hands if you love Lyn

And you're from the best west side of town

20,000 empty seats
Cheer for Lyn every Sunday

But today it is no fun
And there are too many people

{\an8}Because 20,000 empty seats
Are filling up with nerds

{\an8}But we'll sink them and send them home

{\an8}- And on Monday, all's like before
- Have you gone mad?

{\an8}Huh?

{\an8}The game is on Sunday.
It's not even the finals.

{\an8}I'm going to Bikram yoga
with Grandpa and Stephen

{\an8}so I had to wake you early.

{\an8}Thanks, but no need to make such a fuss.

{\an8}Funny how I make you so embarrassed,

{\an8}but Grandpa and his
"Team Middelthon" shirt and chair

{\an8}doesn't phase you.

{\an8}Grandpa is actually cool.

{\an8}My friends think he's awesome.
He's a legend.

{\an8}Isn't he too old to try to be cool?

{\an8}- Don't age-shame him.
- I'm not age-shaming.

{\an8}It's interesting
that I embarrass you so much.

{\an8}With good reason.
You try too hard. You're a pick-me girl.

{\an8}- What's a pick-me girl?
- I need a shower.

{\an8}Hanna?

{\an8}Hanna? What's a pick-me girl?

{\an8}Huh?

{\an8}Pick-me girl. What does it mean?

{\an8}Are you waking me up
in the middle of the night for that?

{\an8}It's not. It's quarter past six.

{\an8}It's like a... "try-hard."
Like, "Look at me! I'm so cool!"

{\an8}I was accused of doing that
by the awful girls in middle school.

{\an8}Worst week of my life.
You don't wanna be a pick-me girl.

{\an8}Sigrid just said I was one.

Yeah, but you are.

"Look at me! I'm going to yoga
at six in the morning."

"No stress. Pick me, pick me!" That's you.

- Okay. I made a smoothie for you there.
- Yeah.

- I'm going to Bikram with Grandpa.
- Exactly.

"Not only am I going to Bikram yoga,
I've made smoothies too."

"Pick me, pick me!" You're a pick-me girl.

{\an8}PERNILLE

Hold basic.

Left hand towards the ceiling.
Reach up to the ceiling.

Breathe in and push your body forward

while you kick backwards
and up towards the ceiling.

If your knee hurts,
you can just stretch forwards

and kick backwards.

You open up your chest.
You open up your shoulders.

Lots of things happening in the body.
Chin up. Look forward more.

Just keep kicking.

Did you get your license late?

Oh yeah. I flunked twice, though.

Thanks to Stephen,
I finally got my license this winter.

Me too.
I got my license because of Stephen.

I've only had my license
for a couple of years...

Her tattoos, though, they're...
They're a work of art.

It's very impressive.

Well, getting tattoos
isn't exactly on my bucket list.

- No, it's not for everyone.
- No.

Thank you for letting me join Bikram.

It feels good for the body.

- Very.
- Are you coming?

Yeah, I'm coming.

Sorry, where are you going?

You're coming with me
to pick up wheelchairs today.

- For the parade?
- But I told you.

I'm with Julie,
and then I have three students.

- Huh?
- So I'll be late.

- Bye, then.
- Bye.

But...

Are you okay, Dad?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm just wondering about Stephen.

He's always hanging out with Julie.

And I finally got him to come to yoga,

and she had to join as well.

And that's not all.

Can I say something personal?

He's started sleeping in pyjamas.

Pajamas?

I say "pyjamas." Don't get hung up on it.

But something's come between us...

Something has come between us.

Okay. Have you tried the good old advice
talking to him about it?

Oh, sure. In a very subtle way,
I show him that I'm insulted.

Then, I say, "Don't worry about me."
Now and then.

- How's that working out for you?
- Not very well.

He's impossible to upset, that man.

I think you should be happy about that.

You're not jealous of Julie?

Oh, Daddy... Hey...

Stephen loves you. You know that, right?

So he has a new lady friend
who loves tattoos and likes travelling.

Whatever.

He hasn't told me he loves me
since Christmas.

Daddy...

I can help you pick up
the wheelchairs some other time.

Okay.

And I love you. Does that help a little?

It's something.

Daddy... Hey...

It's not ill*gal to breastfeed.

On the contrary, it's quite good
for your immune system, right?

- It's not ill*gal.
- No.

But Arthur's nine years old.

So I'd like to ask what you think about

Arthur himself saying
that he thinks he's getting too big.

I just have to laugh. The state
is always meddling in everything.

Soon, we'll be forced to get vaccinated.

First you say we have to breastfeed.

And when we do, and the kid is healthy,

and he's good at hockey, suddenly
it's not okay to breastfeed anymore.

What do you think, Blessica?

I know Harald is very concerned about
breast milk being good for children.

And little brother needs it.

But if Arthur thinks he's too big...

Arthur is a kid.

We're adults.

If Arthur had any say,
we'd eat potato chips for dinner

and stay up all night.

I would just like to talk more to you.

And to Arthur, of course,

and with consent get information
from school and... other places.

{\an8}HEY, STEPHEN. COULD WE HAVE A CHAT?

{\an8}- Bye.
- Bye, bye.

What's up with mothers
who have this sick symbiosis?

Is she breastfeeding him
until he's in high school?

Oh...

She's not nuts about breast milk. Dad is.

- I bet she breastfeeds Dad sometimes.
- Huh?

Don't be so surprised about human nature.

NO TIME THIS WEEK. SORRY!

We need more meetings
before you reach that conclusion.

I bet 1,000 kroner.

We can't bet. That's so unethical.

Yeah, sorry.

Oh, you got a dog!

Yeah... It's not mine, unfortunately.
It's Mai-Lis'.

Her parents are allergic,

so that's why she's here.

Hey! So insanely sweet!

I'm looking at
a Portuguese Water Dog in three weeks.

Are those kinda woolly?

I don't like people
talking about their dogs. Sorry.

People talk about their kids.
Dogs should be okay too.

I don't like that either.

Amund, are you coming to Pride?
We need help with HSE.

HSE at Pride?

Yeah. It's very sweet.

Dad is in charge of HSE
for a bunch of older q*eers,

so we picked up lots of wheelchairs today.

It's nice to have a daughter
who shows up when you need her.

I can show up too if you need people.

That's so great!
The woke generation is showing up.

Don't make HSE for older people
on a truck sound ridiculous.

It's normal for people Grandpa's age

to go back to guilt, shame,
and depression when they get really old.

It's important to focus
on mental health in elder care too

and not just care home capacity.

I think about elder care.

I could just do without that Pride parade.

And I know lots of g*y people,
so it's not that,

but sexualizing the whole city,
I just don't see the point.

I'm not sure if I understood you.

Could you please elaborate?

I think I kind of get it.

I don't completely disagree.

I am q*eer, but I don't think
we should be afraid of

discussing what Pride is about.

No one is against
the fight for their rights,

but if the Pride parade is so polarizing

that people like you,
who I consider to be quite liberal,

if you get offended,
it will defeat the purpose.

Exactly. And thank you.

That's the thing. Does it have to be
so explicit, so in-your-face... I...

Dad, please.

No, but... I do agree.

Maybe we should put the discussion aside.
Should we order dessert?

No, you know what?
I... I need some fresh air.

I'm getting quite pissed off
listening to you all.

I was here when it was ill*gal to be me.

I was here when being g*y was a diagnosis.

I'm not gonna sit here and listen to you
say that Pride is too "in-your-face."

There are a lot of feelings
involved in this, so...

Just go ahead and order dessert.

Don't you even wanna talk?

- Are they fighting?
- Discussing, at least.

Amund's joining the HSE team,
even if his dad is a jerk.

Can I bring someone I like to Pride?

Someone who speaks English
and comes from a great city?

Yeah. How did you know?

I'm not a complete dunce,
even if I'm a pick-me girl.

Can you go back
and order me a double espresso?

Make sure everyone's okay.

Can't you try to see it
from my perspective?

I grew up in the West on a small island.

I've been surrounded by
deeply Christian people all my life,

and I've been accepted and understood
exactly because I've not been aggressive.

They don't see the political side.

I'm just trying to see it
from their perspective.

I think it's extremely cowardly.
Extremely!

I thought we'd come further than that.
You're supposed to be...

You're supposed to be my ally,
and you're just letting that guy

piss on my years
of fighting for g*y rights.

No, Baldwin, that's not true.

Yes, it is. And you're pissing on me!

You're distant. You sleep in your pyjamas.
I can't reach you at all.

And you spend more time with Julie.

You know what? I think... we should
go home and open a bottle of red wine,

and talk calmly about this...

No, I don't wanna talk anymore.
I'll sleep at Pørni's.

You can go home, get in bed

and ask yourself,

"What do I want? Who do I wanna be?"

Stephen...

I'm so worried about you and Dad.

Please don't break his heart.

No. I'll try. Not breaking his heart.

I'm worried too, you know.

What if he does want to leave him?

He's been acting so weird lately.

He's not giving as much of himself
as he usually does...

I just don't think Dad can handle that.

If Stephen leaves, he'll have
a heart attack...

For f*ck's sake!

You've reached Anne. Please text me...

Blah, blah.

...don't leave a message. I won't hear it.

- Oh, come on.
- I'll call you back soon.

Bye.

But I'm not an oracle
about other peoples' love lives.

Me and Bjørnar Berg Hansen
have become friends, by the way.

It's really nice. Proper BFFs.

And tomorrow at Pride, he's coming
to the truck to help Dad and the HSE team...

- Are they ready?
- Yeah.

Selfie of you and me.

Hey!

Okay.

Dad!

{\an8}YOU'RE q*eer ALL YOUR LIFE

Voi voi, high up in the mountains

Are you hearing me sing this song?

Voi voi, I want to tell you
That I'm waiting for you

Voi voi, time's standing still
When I'm waiting for my loved one

Voi voi, our destiny wanted
That I was to become yours

Voi voi!
In a few days, it's Saturday, you know

Voi voi!
When a beautiful dream will come true

Voi

Soon, you'll come down
To the valley and your loved one

Voi voi! The week is gone
Saturday night will be great

Saturday night will be great

THE BEAR STAGE

Thank you to the Norway Bears' own

Hans Fjørtoft
and his version of "Voi-voi!"

Give him a round of applause!

Lovely.

Dear everybody,
today we are celebrating love.

But we have to remember

that it has been harder to be q*eer
than it is today.

We've been considered criminals.

We've received a diagnosis.

OLD GAYS LOVE THE BEST

But now we can marry our partner.

Thanks to those of you
who went ahead and led that fight,

it's a little bit easier
for all of us today.

So thanks to all that joined us
on the Rainbow Group truck.

Those of you who led the fight.
Give them a big hand!

I need to take a piss. Piss.

And to all of you grown-ups

who didn't dare to be yourself,

who were suppressed and held back,

and who maybe feel that you came out late...

It's never too late to embrace life.

Your life.

So dear everyone,
here's Kristian Kristensen,

with the legendary song from 1987,
"My Life!"

The stage lights are on
A voice whispers excitedly

"What do I have to say?"

"Do I take a chance to come forward?"

"Do I dare to meet them?"

"Do I have enough to give?"

I need to take the chance now
But can I trust

Myself, my life?

Now I'm standing in front of

A road only I can take

A future in my hands

And a goal only I can reach

No one can take my dream away from me

It's my life

Yeah.

It is written in the Corinthians,
chapter 13, verses 4 to 7,

"Love is patient."

"Love is kind."

"Love is not envious."

"It is not boastful."

"It is not irritable."

"It does not rejoice in wrongdoing."

Some of this doesn't suit

the man I love at all.

Ole Johan Middelthon.

Baldwin. You...

You are irritable,
and you do rejoice in wrongdoing.

But you are patient.

And you are the warmest and sweetest

and bravest man in the world.

And I don't want you
to be patient with me now.

Today, you are celebrating your freedom,
and I also want you to be safe.

Lately you've been wondering
what I've been up to,

which you are about to see.

But first I'd like to use
the poet Olav H. Hauge's words...

"I am a boat without wind."

"You were the wind."

"Was that the way I was going?"

"Who's asking of the way
when you have such a wind!"

My dear...

Ole Johan Middelthon.

Baldwin.

BALDWIN 4 EVER

Join the club!

Will you marry me?

Answer, Grandpa,
so Kristian Kristensen can sing on!

Was that a yes? Was it?

Was that... a yes?

No one can take from me

No one can take from me

No one can take from me

No one can take my dream away from me

Now, I am standing in front of

A road only I can take

A future in my hands

And a goal only I can reach

No one can take my dream away from me

It's my life

It's my life

No one can take from me

No one can take from me

No one can take my dream away from me

My dream

It's my life

It's my life

Cheers to the love birds. Congratulations.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I'm not joining the party committee.

You're in it already.

The wedding will be
on the last weekend of August,

and it will be enormous!

An all-out extravaganza!

Will it be that big?

I'm thinking white tuxedos.
The Silver Boys.

We're not just running down
to town hall and get it over with. No.

Big party! Three hundred guests!

- Three hundred guests?
- Two hundred guests.

A hundred guests. But I don't have
as many friends as Stephen,

so you can bring some of yours,

so there's 50 from us
and 50 from him. Okay?

And I want a string quartet
under the open sky.

Oh, a summer wedding will be so nice!

Let's just make this Sigrid's day, okay?

Remember to have fun.
This isn't life or death, right?

No, stop it. Soccer isn't fun.

We'll win the league
even if we're tied today.

- Good luck. Have fun!
- Break a leg!

No, Hanna!

Free!

Go, Lyn!

Yes, good, good! Hey!

Watch out! Cover!

How long is this gonna be?

There's a Godard movie
that Undis should see.

One minute left, Dad. You can handle that.

That's not a penalty!

Hey, let the referee judge.

Do you know how many young referees
quit because of harassment?

Sorry.

Come on. Be big in the cage. Be a wall.

Come on. Don't f*ck it up.

Yes!

COACH

20,000 empty seats
Cheer for Lyn every Sunday

But today it is no fun
And there are too many people

Because 20,000 empty seats
Are filling up with nerds

But we'll sink them and send them home
And on Monday, all's like before

- We'd like you to join us.
- I'd really like that.

- It would be really fun.
- We'll talk to your mom.

- Hey.
- Is that your mom?

- Sigrid's mom.
- Yes.

Halvor Liland from NFF,
the youth division.

- Oh.
- Is it during the summer?

- First week after school ends.
- What are you talking about?

Mom, I might get into
the National Team school.

I'm working with the school this June,

and I've seen a few of Sigrid's games now,

and talked to her coach and... Yeah.

We'd like to invite Sigrid
to a camp this summer.

Can I? Please?

Of course. You have to tell Grandpa.
He's gonna lose his marbles.

There's no guarantee that she'll be picked
for the Girls 16 national team,

but there are good opportunities and...
Yeah, you never know.

That's really amazing. But I didn't...

I had no idea she was talented.

- That's the exciting part.
- Hello!

It's often those who stick to it
and put work into it that become great.

- Oh my God!
- Thank you.

- It was nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

- I'll await your call. Bye.
- Bye.

- And zooo!
- Zooo!

Hey! Are you doing the "zooo" without me?
I wanna join.

- And zooo!
- Zooo!

- You're embarrassed.
- Yeah.

Sorry.

It's so sweet.

He's been planning this forever

and hid that huge tattoo
with his "pyjamas," as they call it.

And not to brag,

but Sigrid's got into
a talent program with the NFF.

Leo's moving into the city this fall.
He wants to work with music.

He has a solo project he's calling
"Son of Anne."

It's so nice.
Sorry, Dad's calling. I have to take this.

Hey, Dad. How is the husband-to-be?

I've been planning the wedding a bit.

Okay? Wouldn't you like
to let the feeling settle a bit?

This is kind of time-sensitive,

so I need you to follow up
tomorrow already.

You have to see if the old rectory
at Blindern is available.

It's very nice there.

Ask Linn and Kim to do the catering.

- Okay.
- It's high season for them.

And I want a string quartet.

You can see if anyone is available.

- And we've looked at tuxedos.
- Yes.

Doesn't Tuva know somebody?

- Yes.
- Lars always wears lovely suits.

Maybe we should have
a professional party planner.

- It's hard to find one.
- This is gonna be huge.
