{\an8}[woman 1 in Norwegian]
I know it's Christmas,
9
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:08,291
{\an8}but you don't get
into the holiday spirit when it's sunny.
10
00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:10,559
- I need to get home to Norway.
- [woman 2 on phone] Yeah.
11
00:01:10,583 --> 00:01:13,000
- I'm so excited.
- [woman 2] There's so much to do.
12
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:16,416
- It's okay, Mom. You've got time.
- [mom] Yes, but still...
13
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,083
Has it been snowing a lot?
14
00:01:18,166 --> 00:01:21,125
[mom] Sure,
but tell me about your boyfriend!
15
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:24,375
Well, you can meet him
if you come to visit us.
16
00:01:24,958 --> 00:01:27,833
We're settling in nicely.
We're doing very well.
17
00:01:27,916 --> 00:01:29,875
We've almost unpacked everything.
18
00:01:29,958 --> 00:01:31,708
Hold on, Mom. Hello?
19
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:33,083
[man in English] Wait, wait.
20
00:01:36,833 --> 00:01:37,916
[in Norwegian] Oh my God!
21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,333
[mom] What is it?
22
00:01:41,125 --> 00:01:42,750
Mom, I'll call you back.
23
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:47,875
Herregud?
24
00:01:47,958 --> 00:01:49,500
[in English] Is that a good thing?
25
00:01:51,541 --> 00:01:56,250
I know you love Christmas, so I wanted to
do something Christmas-themed for the...
26
00:01:57,958 --> 00:01:59,041

00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:07,416
- [clears throat] Thea Evjen.
- Oh!
30
00:02:08,541 --> 00:02:09,541
I love you.
31
00:02:10,583 --> 00:02:13,125
And I know this might be early
for Norwegian standards,
32
00:02:13,208 --> 00:02:16,000
but, in India,
we would have had two kids already
33
00:02:16,083 --> 00:02:17,333
and they would be in college.
34
00:02:17,416 --> 00:02:19,541
[both chuckling]
35
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:25,458
So, if you're not, like, doing anything
for the next couple of decades...
36
00:02:25,541 --> 00:02:26,375
Yeah.
37
00:02:26,458 --> 00:02:29,833
...would you mind marrying me?

- [chuckles]
- [Thea] Uh...
41
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:41,083
You don't even know
my middle name. [laughs]
42
00:02:41,166 --> 00:02:43,041
And did you actually also know
43
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:46,916
that I have diabetes running in my family
and that's...
44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,666
Diabetes is not contagious.
45
00:02:50,291 --> 00:02:51,625
[exhales]
46
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:54,500
You haven't even met my family yet.
47
00:02:55,083 --> 00:02:56,500
Okay, I'm gonna get up.
48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,166

Okay, I'm coming down.

Hi.
52
00:03:09,375 --> 00:03:10,791
Look, I know it's early.
53
00:03:12,541 --> 00:03:15,333
But when you know, you know.
54
00:03:17,208 --> 00:03:18,250
You know?
55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,250
- I know.

you have to say yes or no.

[both laughing]
61
00:03:35,916 --> 00:03:39,250
Okay. Yeah. Okay, fine.

00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:40,541
"Yeah, okay, fine."

What would you say...
75
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:10,833
to...
76
00:04:11,708 --> 00:04:16,166
joining me and my family
for Christmas in Norway this year?

[hesitating]
78
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:21,375
[sighs] I would love to, but it's like you
don't know my middle name.
79
00:04:21,458 --> 00:04:23,708
- [laughs]
- You're such a jerk. [laughs]
80
00:04:23,791 --> 00:04:25,875
- [man] Yes. Of course. I would love to.
- Yeah?
81
00:04:25,958 --> 00:04:28,916
Oh, you have so much to look forward to.
82
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,960
- Christmas in Norway is... is the best.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, I'm so excited
to meet your mom, Anne-Lise,
87
00:04:39,291 --> 00:04:41,083
and the rest of the family.
88
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:42,625
They're so excited too.
89
00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:45,375
I'm gonna tell them to have a god jul.
90
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:55,666
- So my family doesn't really know that...
- Is it jool or jul?
91
00:04:57,083 --> 00:05:00,541
- Uh, jul. Yeah, it's jul. Yeah.
- Jul? Okay, jul.

Uh, my family doesn't really know...

[man in Norwegian] Ladies and gentlemen,
we're landing at Oslo Airport.
95
00:05:11,875 --> 00:05:15,666
Please fasten your seat belt
and make sure the trays...
96
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:17,416
[in English] Sorry. What were you saying?
97
00:05:19,666 --> 00:05:20,875
Just that my family...

You think this is fresh air? [laughs]
105
00:06:02,458 --> 00:06:04,583
Are you gonna be like this the whole time?
106
00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:07,541

I'm sorry. What's up?
109
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:17,333
Oh. [chuckles]
110
00:06:17,416 --> 00:06:21,791
It's just a family sweater tradition thing
that we've been doing forever.
111
00:06:22,791 --> 00:06:25,000
I'm sure my mom has
knitted one for you too.
112
00:06:25,083 --> 00:06:26,958
Oh, I should have got them something.
113
00:06:27,041 --> 00:06:29,583
Oh, like the Indian equivalent
of a family sweater.
114
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:33,916
You know what I was
trying to tell you earlier.
115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,833
Yeah.
116
00:06:34,916 --> 00:06:36,958
- Um, I haven't...
- [driver] So, you're from India?
117
00:06:37,583 --> 00:06:40,208
Uh, yeah, dude. Have you ever been?
118
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:43,875
No, I've never been to India.
But I've been to Turkey.
119
00:06:43,958 --> 00:06:45,416

Mm. Now that's fresh air.

125
00:07:13,291 --> 00:07:14,166
Ah. [breathes heavily]
126
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:16,291
I think my nostril hair
froze to each other.
127
00:07:16,375 --> 00:07:18,041
[in Norwegian] Hello.
128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,583
- Oh, Mom!
- [Anne-Lise] Hello, hello.

00:07:21,666 --> 00:07:23,666
[murmuring in Norwegian]
130
00:07:25,416 --> 00:07:26,708
Oh, hello.

00:07:51,708 --> 00:07:53,333
- [Thea speaks indistinctly]
- What?
141
00:07:53,416 --> 00:07:55,958
It's not him. It is...
142
00:07:57,250 --> 00:07:58,166
[Anne-Lise] Huh?
143

[Jashan chuckles]
152
00:08:15,541 --> 00:08:17,041
He's from, uh, India.
153
00:08:18,083 --> 00:08:23,041
- Yes, I can see that. Yes.

[Anne-Lise exhales]
155
00:08:26,125 --> 00:08:30,791
Oh, this is so nice
to finally meet you, Shazam.
156
00:08:31,916 --> 00:08:33,458
Jashan. [mumbles]

Ta-da! [sighs]

Thank you, Shazam.
160
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:46,125
- [in Norwegian] Mom, it's Jashan.
- Yes.
161
00:08:46,208 --> 00:08:48,458
- [Jashan in English] Oh, look at this.

162
00:08:49,791 --> 00:08:50,791

[fire crackling]
165
00:08:56,375 --> 00:08:59,083
Okay, now, this, this is Christmas.
166
00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:00,333
[Anne-Lise] Yes.
167
00:09:00,416 --> 00:09:03,750
"Same procedure as every year, James."
168
00:09:03,833 --> 00:09:06,916
Oh, sorry. It's, uh... It's, uh, Jashan.
169
00:09:09,541 --> 00:09:11,000
Ja-shan.
170
00:09:11,958 --> 00:09:14,208
- It's fine. You'll get it.
- Yeah, but it was...
171
00:09:14,291 --> 00:09:15,166
No, it's just a...
172
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:16,458
[Jashan gasps] What is this?
173
00:09:16,541 --> 00:09:20,208
Yeah. So that's like this tradition
that we had,
174
00:09:20,291 --> 00:09:22,875
making all these Christmas
decorations every year.
175
00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:24,666
It's so cute.
176
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:25,583
[chuckles]
177
00:09:25,666 --> 00:09:28,250

a... a bit more time.

about the engagement?

No. Yeah.
Of course I want to tell her. It's just...

or something?

00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:16,625
[bubbling]
526
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:17,708
Jashan?
527
00:26:18,041 --> 00:26:19,291
God jul!
528
00:26:20,125 --> 00:26:21,833
[Thea] What are you doing?
529
00:26:21,916 --> 00:26:24,291
You and your family have been
sharing your culture with me,
530
00:26:24,375 --> 00:26:30,458
and I thought I would share the best
of Indian culture with you. Food.
531
00:26:32,208 --> 00:26:34,083
Wow. Where did you get all the spices?
532
00:26:34,666 --> 00:26:36,666
I bring them with me, bro. Duh.
533
00:26:37,250 --> 00:26:39,000
- Duh.
- [laughs]
534
00:26:39,625 --> 00:26:40,750
But it's Christmas.
535
00:26:41,416 --> 00:26:42,333
Yeah.
536
00:26:42,416 --> 00:26:44,416
[sizzling]
537
00:26:45,041 --> 00:26:46,125
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
538
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,083
You said let's make dinner
something special.
539
00:26:57,166 --> 00:26:59,958
Jashan, I said let's make dinner
something special,
540
00:27:00,041 --> 00:27:02,375
like... Not make something special
for dinner.
541
00:27:02,458 --> 00:27:05,083
[sighs] I thought everyone would be busy
with Christmas stuff,
542
00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:07,416
and I would make dinner
and surprise everyone.
543
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:08,726
- It's great. It's good.
- Yeah.
544
00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:10,000
- I love your cooking.
- I know.
545
00:27:10,083 --> 00:27:11,791
- It smells great.
- Thank you.
546
00:27:11,875 --> 00:27:14,166
- It's just... that...
- [Jashan] Just...
547
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:17,041
- That?
- It's December 22nd.
548
00:27:18,958 --> 00:27:20,208
Yes, it is.
549
00:27:22,083 --> 00:27:23,708
It's... It's bitte lille julaften.
550
00:27:23,791 --> 00:27:26,583
It's, um... It's Teeny Tiny Christmas.
551
00:27:26,666 --> 00:27:28,083
What is Teeny Tiny Christmas?
552
00:27:28,666 --> 00:27:31,041
It's the day before the day
before the big day,
553
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:33,958
and it's sort of like a big deal
in our family.
554
00:27:34,041 --> 00:27:36,083
I thought the big day was December 25th.
555
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:38,833
I told you. In Norway, it's 24th.
556
00:27:38,916 --> 00:27:42,416
So there's a teeny day
before a tiny day before the big day,
557
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,166
which is before December 25th?
558
00:27:45,916 --> 00:27:46,916
Yeah.
559
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:49,375
[slaps thighs]
560
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,267
- [door opens]
- [Anne-Lise sighs]
561
00:27:51,291 --> 00:27:53,375
- [in Norwegian] Hello.
- Hi, Mom.
562
00:27:53,458 --> 00:27:54,833
- Uh...
- [door closes]
563
00:27:56,666 --> 00:27:57,906
[Anne-Lise] What is that smell?
564
00:27:57,958 --> 00:27:59,250
It smells so good!
565
00:27:59,333 --> 00:28:00,541
[Simen breathes deeply]
566
00:28:00,625 --> 00:28:02,065
- Hmm.
- [Anne-Lise] Do you think so?
567
00:28:02,125 --> 00:28:05,666
No. Maybe I exaggerated a little.
568
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:07,000
[Simen] Is something burning?
569
00:28:07,541 --> 00:28:09,750
- [in English] What?
- Okay... [panting]
570
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:11,916
- What are you doing?
- I don't know what I'm doing.
571
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,458
[in Norwegian] Thea? What in the...
572
00:28:16,541 --> 00:28:18,208
- [in English] Surprise!
- Surprise!
573
00:28:19,791 --> 00:28:20,911
[in Norwegian] What the f...
574
00:28:25,125 --> 00:28:26,125
[sighs]
575
00:28:31,166 --> 00:28:34,083
It might not be exactly
576
00:28:35,041 --> 00:28:38,000
the dinner we're used to
for Teeny Tiny Christmas.
577
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:43,375
[in English] We always have medister cakes
on Little Little Christmas.
578
00:28:43,458 --> 00:28:47,791
[exhales sharply] I actually
just found out about Teeny Tiny Christmas.
579
00:28:47,875 --> 00:28:50,625
- Yeah. But now we have curry, so...
- [chuckles]
580
00:28:50,708 --> 00:28:53,541
[in Norwegian] It was a tradition, though.
581
00:28:53,625 --> 00:28:56,291
Dad always used to make
582
00:28:56,375 --> 00:29:00,500
meatballs on Teeny Tiny Christmas,
and you all really liked it.
583
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:01,958
Really, really liked it.
584
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:06,083
But maybe we can just give this a try?
585
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:08,041
Did you hear that? Did you hear that?
586
00:29:09,333 --> 00:29:11,000
- No one heard that?
- [Anne-Lise] What?
587
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:13,146
- [Simen] Can you hear it?
- No, what?
588
00:29:16,291 --> 00:29:19,916
- It was just Dad turning in his grave.
- [Hildegunn] Stop it.
589
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,625
Ronja, Dad is joking. Grandpa is dead.
590
00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:27,791
[chuckling] He hasn't risen from the dead.
He is not moving at all.
591
00:29:28,458 --> 00:29:30,750
[breathes shakily] May God be with him.
592
00:29:31,958 --> 00:29:34,708
Thank you for keeping an open mind.
593
00:29:34,791 --> 00:29:37,125
For God's sake.
594
00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:39,500
We've been eating meatballs every year.
595
00:29:39,583 --> 00:29:43,708
[in English] Norwegians are
a very accepting people.
596
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:46,083
Just not at Christmas.
597
00:29:47,416 --> 00:29:48,416
[chuckles]
598
00:29:50,291 --> 00:29:53,958
I understand this is different from
your normal traditions.
599
00:29:54,041 --> 00:29:56,500
You've probably never had
Indian food before. So...
600
00:29:56,583 --> 00:29:58,303
[Simen and Hildegunn in Norwegian]
Yes, yes.
601
00:29:58,375 --> 00:30:00,000
We eat Indian food.
602
00:30:00,083 --> 00:30:01,625
We love Indian food.
603
00:30:01,708 --> 00:30:05,375
[in English] Yeah. Maybe you can take it
in English so that Jashan understands.
604
00:30:06,125 --> 00:30:07,625
[both] Yes, yes, yes.
605
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:10,958
- We eat Indian food.
- Yeah. We love Indian food.
606
00:30:11,041 --> 00:30:12,583
Oh, nice. Yeah.
607
00:30:12,666 --> 00:30:17,125
There's great Indian food
at the Chinese restaurant in town.
608
00:30:17,208 --> 00:30:18,291
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
609
00:30:18,375 --> 00:30:20,625
I'm sorry, did you say
there was a Chinese restaurant
610
00:30:20,708 --> 00:30:21,875
that serves Indian food?
611
00:30:21,958 --> 00:30:24,309
- Yeah. It's not really Indian food. It's...
- [Simen] Yeah.
612
00:30:24,333 --> 00:30:26,434
[Simen] Yes. It's, uh...
It's Indian and... and Chinese,
613
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:28,875
and... and they have a lot
of Norwegian dishes.
614
00:30:28,958 --> 00:30:31,458
- Yes.
- Uh, like pizza and hamburgers.
615
00:30:31,541 --> 00:30:33,726
- [Hildegunn] Hamburgers, yeah.
- [Simen] It's very good.
616
00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:36,333
- And the chef... Oh!
- Oh, the chef is so good.
617
00:30:36,416 --> 00:30:37,500
- He is good.
- He is good.
618
00:30:37,583 --> 00:30:38,416
Yeah. You should go.
619
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:41,708
[in Norwegian] Ronja, don't you agree?
They serve good food at the Chinese place.
620
00:30:41,791 --> 00:30:44,458
- [in English] Jashan is a good cook too.
- [both chuckle]
621
00:30:45,083 --> 00:30:47,708
- [Simen] Yeah.
- It... It smells really good.
622
00:30:48,291 --> 00:30:49,916
It's like... [inhales]...yeah.
623
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
- Mmm. Yes.
- [Simen in Norwegian] It does smell.
624
00:30:53,083 --> 00:30:55,375
- [in English] So please dig in.
- [Hildegunn munching]
625
00:30:55,458 --> 00:30:56,458
[Anne-Lise] Yes.
626
00:30:57,916 --> 00:30:58,916
Here.
627
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,666
[in Norwegian] What is that?
628
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:02,500
- Hmm?
- What is that?
629
00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:04,416
That is called "pantipum."
630
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:06,291
And this is naan.
631
00:31:08,458 --> 00:31:09,833
[Hildegunn murmurs indistinctly]
632
00:31:09,916 --> 00:31:11,291
[in English] Oh.
633
00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:13,458
Oh, I see. Yes.
634
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,791
- [Anne-Lise chuckles]
- [Simen sniffing]
635
00:31:17,833 --> 00:31:19,541
[in Norwegian] Maybe use your hands...
636
00:31:20,291 --> 00:31:22,333
[in English] It's almost like a taco.
637
00:31:22,875 --> 00:31:24,875
["Jingle Bells" playing in Norwegian]
638
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:30,208
Mm.
639
00:31:32,541 --> 00:31:33,541
[in English] So...
640
00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:35,458
[clears throat]
641
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:40,291
Shazam, since this is
your, hmm, first Christmas...
642
00:31:40,375 --> 00:31:42,208
Oh, we have Christmas in India.
643
00:31:43,083 --> 00:31:44,875
- You... Oh, really?
- [Jashan] Yeah.
644
00:31:45,541 --> 00:31:46,666
I didn't know that.
645
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:48,416
Oh, but I knew, but...
646
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,625
[chuckles] Sorry.
647
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:51,583
How do you usually celebrate?
648
00:31:51,666 --> 00:31:53,291
Well, uh, my family is not Christian,
649
00:31:53,375 --> 00:31:57,333
so we do this funny thing of, like,
we'll do a countdown to midnight,
650
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:59,250
and then we say Merry Christmas,
651
00:31:59,333 --> 00:32:02,958
and we get smashed and we have
a lot of food, set off fireworks.
652
00:32:03,041 --> 00:32:05,666
That sounds like New Year's
here in Norway.
653
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,916
[Simen in Norwegian]
"Sounds like"? It literally is.
654
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,120
[Hildegunn in English] Yeah.
655
00:32:09,166 --> 00:32:12,166
And, you know, this year,
I'm so happy to be here with all of you
656
00:32:12,250 --> 00:32:15,166
and to get to share
this part of my culture with you.
657
00:32:15,791 --> 00:32:17,375
I think that's really special.
658
00:32:17,458 --> 00:32:19,541
- Mm.
- [Jashan] Do you like it, mamma?
659
00:32:19,625 --> 00:32:22,333
Mm. [clears throat repeatedly]
660
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:24,500
Mm-hmm.
661
00:32:24,541 --> 00:32:26,341
[Simen clears throat
and murmurs in Norwegian]
662
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:28,250
Hmm?
663
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:34,166
- Okay, guys, um...
- [Simen coughs, clears throat]
664
00:32:34,250 --> 00:32:35,958
[in English] Jashan and I, we...
665
00:32:37,041 --> 00:32:38,166
[both chuckle]
666
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:39,416
[grunts]
667
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:41,166
[in Norwegian] Are you okay, Mom?
668
00:32:43,625 --> 00:32:47,041
[coughs and chokes]
669
00:32:47,125 --> 00:32:49,083
[panting] Dad.
670
00:32:49,166 --> 00:32:51,166
Was it a little spicy?
671
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:52,791
What is it? Are you okay?
672
00:32:52,875 --> 00:32:54,083
[Simen coughs]
673
00:32:54,166 --> 00:32:56,333
- [in English] Is it that spicy?
- No, it's really...
674
00:32:56,416 --> 00:32:58,916
[coughing] I'm so sorry.
It's very good. I just have to...
675
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,041
[Simen coughing]
676
00:33:00,125 --> 00:33:03,208
- [in Norwegian] I'll go with Mom.
- If you have to spit it out, use this.
677
00:33:03,291 --> 00:33:05,583
Anne-Lise doesn't want it on her rug.
678
00:33:05,666 --> 00:33:08,708
[in English] Yeah, just... Yeah, just...
I just need to check.
679
00:33:08,791 --> 00:33:09,916
[sighs]
680
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,166
[Anne-Lise and Simen coughing]
681
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:13,166
[faucet running]
682
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,625
[in Norwegian] You guys are being
very dramatic.
683
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:17,000
We're being dramatic?
684
00:33:17,083 --> 00:33:19,958
- [in English] Mamma, water will not help.
- [Anne-Lise] Excuse me?
685
00:33:20,041 --> 00:33:22,333
It's... You need some dairy.
Uh, if you have yogurt?
686
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,083
I don't know. I don't know.
I really don't know.
687
00:33:28,791 --> 00:33:30,041
Oh, what about this?
688
00:33:30,125 --> 00:33:31,434
- No, Jashan.
- [in Norwegian] Yes.
689
00:33:31,458 --> 00:33:32,833
- No?
- Yes!
690
00:33:32,916 --> 00:33:35,625
[Anne-Lise] No, no, no.
691
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:39,916
- Don't take the pudding. We need it for...
- Mom, come on! We don't have a choice.
692
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,041
But Dad said it needs to stay...
693
00:33:42,125 --> 00:33:43,166
[Anne-Lise exhales]
694
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:45,166
- Longer. Are you sure?
- [Simen] Eat, eat.
695
00:33:45,833 --> 00:33:46,833
Mmm.
696
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:50,309
- Mmm. Oh!
- [Thea whispering] Okay, I think we just...
697
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:52,173
- [Simen in Norwegian] Oh, it burns.
- Just go.
698
00:33:52,833 --> 00:33:54,513
- [exhales, sniffles]
- [Anne-Lise exhales]
699
00:33:54,958 --> 00:33:55,833
Mmm.
700
00:33:55,916 --> 00:33:59,083
I think it needs more time to set.
701
00:34:01,125 --> 00:34:03,166
[Anne-Lise and Simen moan]
702
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:05,125
[in English] How many chilies did you use?
703
00:34:05,208 --> 00:34:09,083
Spice is about more than just chilies.
This is super mild.
704
00:34:09,166 --> 00:34:10,666
[Simen coughs]
705
00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:13,875
There's a difference between
Norwegian spicy and Indian spicy.
706
00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:15,250
[exhales] Yeah.
707
00:34:15,916 --> 00:34:17,716
[in Norwegian] I don't know
if Simen told you,
708
00:34:17,791 --> 00:34:20,541
but I lived in India
for a couple of months after high school.
709
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:22,000
- [Thea laughing] What?
- Yes.
710
00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:27,041
[in English] Okay. Hildegunn, she... she...
she... lived in India for several months.
711
00:34:27,125 --> 00:34:29,666
- Oh! Oh, cool. That is cool.
- [Hildegunn chuckles]
712
00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:31,833
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. [chuckles]
713
00:34:32,541 --> 00:34:33,458
I actually...
714
00:34:33,541 --> 00:34:35,416
[chuckles] I wanted to show you this.
715
00:34:37,583 --> 00:34:38,583
- Ta-da!
- Wow.
716
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,541
- [chuckles]
- It says, uh, "inner peace."
717
00:34:42,625 --> 00:34:44,458
Wow. Yeah. Wow.
718
00:34:46,291 --> 00:34:48,000
What is it? Don't you like it?
719
00:34:48,083 --> 00:34:49,500
It's very nice.
720
00:34:49,583 --> 00:34:50,892
- Yeah? [chuckles]
- [Jashan] Yeah.
721
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:52,125
No. What is it?
722
00:34:52,208 --> 00:34:53,708
It might not say "inner peace."
723
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:55,791
[Simen speaking indistinctly]
724
00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:57,583
[Anne-Lise panting]
725
00:34:57,666 --> 00:34:58,500
What?
726
00:34:58,583 --> 00:35:01,250
[in Norwegian] It doesn't matter
what it means, does it?
727
00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:04,083
Thea, it is important
because it's a tattoo.
728
00:35:04,166 --> 00:35:06,791
It's cut into my body until I die.
729
00:35:07,541 --> 00:35:09,250
I want to know what it says.
730
00:35:14,041 --> 00:35:17,791
[in English] Hypothetically speaking,
it might say gori.
731
00:35:18,291 --> 00:35:22,208
That doesn't sound so bad.
[chuckles] What... What does that mean?
732
00:35:22,291 --> 00:35:23,291
White girl.
733
00:35:27,916 --> 00:35:29,916
[whispers indistinctly]
734
00:35:32,416 --> 00:35:36,250
White girl, that's... [inhales shakily]
...exactly what I am.
735
00:35:36,833 --> 00:35:37,833
Yes.
736
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,250
So... So that's very accurate.
737
00:35:43,416 --> 00:35:45,125
- [Jashan] Yes. Yes, it is.
- Right?
738
00:35:45,875 --> 00:35:47,041
[Hildegunn breathes shakily]
739
00:35:47,125 --> 00:35:48,166
I...
740
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:51,000
I'm just gonna go help the others. Yeah.
741
00:35:51,083 --> 00:35:54,458
I think your "poopadoonk"
was a little bit dry, by the way.
742
00:35:55,583 --> 00:35:57,583
[indistinct murmuring in Norwegian]
743
00:36:01,666 --> 00:36:02,916
[Jashan sighs]
744
00:36:04,708 --> 00:36:05,875
[chuckles softly]
745
00:36:06,583 --> 00:36:08,916
- [in English] So that didn't work.
- Yeah.
746
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,500
[mellow music playing]
747
00:36:11,458 --> 00:36:16,708
Maybe tomorrow we can try to do Christmas
the Norwegian way?
748
00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:20,041
Okay. What way is that?
749
00:36:22,083 --> 00:36:22,916
You know...
750
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,120
[Norwegian folk music plays]
751
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:25,500
[Simen in Norwegian] Coming down!
752
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,291
DECEMBER 23RD
(TINY CHRISTMAS)
753
00:36:27,375 --> 00:36:30,416
[Anne-Lise] "Out on a hike,
what's not to like?"
754
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:31,708
[Jashan huffing, grunting]
755
00:36:33,041 --> 00:36:35,000
[Simen] Out on a hike, what's not to...
756
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:36,708
[grunting]
757
00:36:37,708 --> 00:36:38,708
[exhales]
758
00:36:39,583 --> 00:36:41,000
[in English] Are you okay?
759
00:36:41,083 --> 00:36:42,291
[Ronja in Norwegian] Hello.
760
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:45,041
[Jashan in English] Wow.
How's she doing that?
761
00:36:46,125 --> 00:36:49,166
In Norway we say that Norwegians are born
with skis on their feet.
762
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:51,625
Yeah? Sounds like a painful childbirth.
763
00:36:52,875 --> 00:36:55,041
- [Jashan panting]
- You wanna go back, Jash?
764
00:36:55,125 --> 00:36:56,041
No.
765
00:36:56,125 --> 00:36:58,045
[in Norwegian] Out on a hike,
what's not to like?
766
00:36:58,708 --> 00:36:59,988
- [Thea in English] Sure?
- Yeah.
767
00:37:00,833 --> 00:37:03,666
- Okay. Come on. I can help you.
- [Jashan panting]
768
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:04,750
[Jashan] Yeah.
769
00:37:05,541 --> 00:37:06,708
Okay.
770
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:08,250
- [Thea] Okay.
- Okay.
771
00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:09,458
- So...
- Yeah.
772
00:37:09,541 --> 00:37:12,875
We have this lunch place
just on the other side of the hill.
773
00:37:12,958 --> 00:37:14,416
There's a lunch place?
774
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:17,375
- Sounds nice?
- Oh, yeah. Lunch place.
775
00:37:17,458 --> 00:37:18,291
Okay.
776
00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:20,541
[in Norwegian] Come on! Go, go, go!
777
00:37:20,625 --> 00:37:24,125
[Jashan in English] Okay. So...
So, what kind of food do they serve?
778
00:37:24,791 --> 00:37:26,125
[wind whistling]
779
00:37:27,208 --> 00:37:28,666
- [Jashan sniffles]
- Here you go.
780
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:29,833
[indistinct chatter]
781
00:37:29,916 --> 00:37:31,000
Ah!
782
00:37:31,083 --> 00:37:34,458
So this is what we would call
koselig in Norway.
783
00:37:38,083 --> 00:37:39,916
[shivers]
784
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
What?
785
00:37:41,458 --> 00:37:45,708
No. It's just that when you said
there was a lunch place,
786
00:37:46,708 --> 00:37:50,875
you know, in my head,
I thought there was gonna be...
787
00:37:50,958 --> 00:37:52,083
A restaurant?
788
00:37:52,166 --> 00:37:53,916
[everyone chuckles]
789
00:37:55,208 --> 00:37:59,333
Yeah. No, that would be crazy
if there was a restaurant.
790
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:00,875
Yeah.
791
00:38:01,583 --> 00:38:04,750
- [skiers in Norwegian] Hi.
- [all] Hi.
792
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:08,291
[Anne-Lise] So, what do you guys think?
793
00:38:09,125 --> 00:38:10,916
Should we get going?
794
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,916
Maybe you should go in advance?
795
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,250
So we can ski at our tempo,
so he doesn't feel...
796
00:38:16,333 --> 00:38:18,625
- Go ahead?
- We always ski together.
797
00:38:18,708 --> 00:38:21,333
I know, but it's a bit different.
798
00:38:21,416 --> 00:38:23,601
But we're supposed to make
gingerbread cookies together.
799
00:38:23,625 --> 00:38:26,375
Can't we make gingerbread cookies
some other time?
800
00:38:26,458 --> 00:38:30,458
Of course! We can move
the gingerbread cookie making to Easter.
801
00:38:30,541 --> 00:38:31,750
[chuckles] Totally.
802
00:38:32,583 --> 00:38:33,583
[Simen grunting]
803
00:38:33,625 --> 00:38:34,750
All right...
804
00:38:34,833 --> 00:38:37,073
- I need to pack the rucksack.
- [Hildegunn] Take this...
805
00:38:37,416 --> 00:38:38,896
[Jashan in English] What's happening?
806
00:38:40,291 --> 00:38:43,208
Uh... We... The two of us can go together.
807
00:38:44,083 --> 00:38:45,208
Okay.
808
00:38:45,291 --> 00:38:46,500
[sniffles] Yeah.
809
00:38:46,583 --> 00:38:48,583
[Jashan grunting]
810
00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:52,250
[grunts, pants]
811
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:54,500
You okay?
812
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,416
Ah. I'm great!
813
00:38:57,208 --> 00:38:59,458
- [skiers in Norwegian] Hi.
- [Thea] Hi.
814
00:39:00,833 --> 00:39:02,083
[in English] I am terrific.
815
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:06,041
- Yeah. It's called koselig, right?
- [Thea] We're home soon. I promise.
816
00:39:06,125 --> 00:39:09,166
We just need to go down to Oksetjønn
and take a left to Skjerdalen.
817
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:12,208
Those names mean nothing.
You're making them up.
818
00:39:13,750 --> 00:39:14,750
I won't do it.
819
00:39:15,083 --> 00:39:17,291
- [sighs]
- [Jashan] I won't do it. Leave me here.
820
00:39:17,791 --> 00:39:18,791
Leave me to die.
821
00:39:21,833 --> 00:39:22,833
I have an idea.
822
00:39:23,375 --> 00:39:26,416
[both breathe heavily]
823
00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:29,583
Are you ready?
824
00:39:29,666 --> 00:39:31,791
No. Are you ready?
825
00:39:31,875 --> 00:39:33,083
Uh... [sighs]
826
00:39:33,666 --> 00:39:34,666
Not really.
827
00:39:35,166 --> 00:39:36,666
Have you ever done this before?
828
00:39:36,750 --> 00:39:38,166
Yeah. Uh...
829
00:39:38,833 --> 00:39:39,916
No. Uh...
830
00:39:40,833 --> 00:39:42,291
My dad used to do it with me.
831
00:39:43,041 --> 00:39:43,875
Okay.
832
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:45,208
[breathes deeply]
833
00:39:45,291 --> 00:39:47,083
- Okay, let's go.
- Okay. [chuckles]
834
00:39:47,583 --> 00:39:49,833
[delightful music playing]
835
00:39:49,916 --> 00:39:51,458
- [Thea] Yes!
- [Jashan] Whoo!
836
00:39:51,541 --> 00:39:53,666
- [Thea whoops]
- [Jashan laughs nervously]
837
00:39:54,583 --> 00:39:56,791
- Hi.
- Yes!
838
00:39:56,875 --> 00:39:59,458
Yes. Okay. Okay.
839
00:40:00,041 --> 00:40:02,125
Whoo! Whoo!
840
00:40:02,208 --> 00:40:05,375
- This is... It's actually working.
- It's working.
841
00:40:05,458 --> 00:40:06,666
[Thea whoops]
842
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:08,541
[Jashan] I'm skiing!
843
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:13,875
[sighs]
844
00:40:13,958 --> 00:40:15,041
[slurping]
845
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,541
[in Norwegian] Where are they?
846
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:20,583
It's getting dark.
847
00:40:21,416 --> 00:40:24,708
Do you want me to ask Simen
to look for them?
848
00:40:24,791 --> 00:40:26,583
- [Anne-Lise] No.
- No.
849
00:40:26,666 --> 00:40:30,625
No, let him relax.
He's put on his comfy joggers...
850
00:40:31,958 --> 00:40:34,541
with a glass of Christmas soda
in his hand,
851
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:37,500
getting into the spirit with Die Hard.
852
00:40:37,583 --> 00:40:38,708
[chuckles]
853
00:40:39,375 --> 00:40:40,458
[engine rumbles]
854
00:40:48,791 --> 00:40:50,791
[birds chirping]
855
00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:00,916
[in English] I'm really sorry.
856
00:41:04,083 --> 00:41:05,625
- For what?
- [Thea sighs]
857
00:41:05,708 --> 00:41:07,458
For my family acting weird.
858
00:41:09,416 --> 00:41:11,416
[sighs] I love weird.
859
00:41:13,041 --> 00:41:15,125
Christmas is just a lot. [scoffs]
860
00:41:15,208 --> 00:41:18,958
Yeah. [scoffs]
I got the feeling. [chuckles]
861
00:41:19,041 --> 00:41:21,958
[Thea] It's just difficult without my dad.
862
00:41:23,833 --> 00:41:25,125
He was like... [laughs]
863
00:41:27,291 --> 00:41:28,916
Father Christmas.
864
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,958
And every year
is just a reminder of what we lost.
865
00:41:34,750 --> 00:41:36,000

I've always had it.
Lasse gave it to me when we were...
941
00:46:19,875 --> 00:46:22,708
So you thought it was a good idea
to call my ex?
942
00:46:23,708 --> 00:46:27,625
I was worried about you two. I got scared.
943
00:46:27,708 --> 00:46:30,083
Mom, that is a very weird thing to do.
944

- [chuckling] No.
- Yes.
945

It's not that weird.
946
00:46:33,541 --> 00:46:37,833
Remember that before he was your ex,
he was the kid next door.
947
00:46:37,916 --> 00:46:41,750
So if you think it's weird,
it's because you're making it weird.

heads-up that your ex lives next door.

[inhales deeply] Yeah...
956

we doing our Christmas dip tomorrow?

01:01:06,833 --> 01:01:08,101
- This does help.
- [Thea] Mm-hmm.
1210
01:01:08,125 --> 01:01:09,625
- Can I have some more?
- [Thea] Yeah.
1211
01:01:10,833 --> 01:01:12,833

- [Jashan slurps]
- [glass thuds on table]
1213
01:01:20,291 --> 01:01:22,958
Yeah. But you don't need to do
the whole shot.
1214
01:01:23,041 --> 01:01:24,625
I think I do.
1215
01:01:24,708 --> 01:01:26,875
I don't think that's so smart, but...
1216
01:01:26,958 --> 01:01:29,333
[indistinct conversation
and laughter continues]
1217
01:01:29,416 --> 01:01:30,708
[in Norwegian] Um, cheers!
1218
01:01:30,791 --> 01:01:31,958
- Yes.
- Oh!
1219
01:01:33,125 --> 01:01:34,416
Cheers.
1220
01:01:35,875 --> 01:01:38,375

Merry Christmas!

01:01:51,750 --> 01:01:53,875
- [Hildegunn] Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
1226
01:01:53,958 --> 01:01:55,083
Merry Christmas.
1227
01:01:56,458 --> 01:01:57,875
Mm. [slurps]
1228
01:01:59,083 --> 01:02:01,166
- [gulps, hiccups]
- [in English] Can you stop?
1229
01:02:01,250 --> 01:02:03,625
- Stop. You're drunk.
- [Jashan burps]
1230
01:02:03,708 --> 01:02:04,916
You're drunk.
1231
01:02:05,583 --> 01:02:07,041
[inhales deeply] Uh...
1232
01:02:07,125 --> 01:02:09,083
- Uh, do you want...
- No. No. I'm not drinking.
1233
01:02:09,166 --> 01:02:11,291
I'm... Really. It's... It's Christmas.
1234
01:02:12,708 --> 01:02:14,916
- [sighs] Of course.

supposed to finish this?

[Jashan exhales]

01:02:23,333 --> 01:02:25,833
[whimsical music playing]
1239
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,458
Oh!
1240
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,708
[indistinct conversation in Norwegian]
1241
01:02:54,083 --> 01:02:55,833
[in Hindi] Now this is more like it!

[inhales deeply]
1243
01:02:57,250 --> 01:02:58,375
Mm!
1244
01:02:59,458 --> 01:03:01,041
[in English] I'm so glad you liked it.
1245
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:04,083
- Liked it? I love it.
- [Anne-Lise] Oh.
1246
01:03:04,166 --> 01:03:05,958
Yeah, it's so, uh...
1247
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,625
- What the hell?
- Stop.
1248
01:03:11,708 --> 01:03:14,541
[Jashan] Hindu is a Norwegian spice brand?
1249
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,083
[whispers] Please, just...
1250
01:03:20,250 --> 01:03:23,416
- Black Boy?
- [whispers] Yeah. It's fine. Stop.
1251
01:03:24,666 --> 01:03:26,791
[Jashan] I'm sorry, it's just... [chuckles]
1252
01:03:26,875 --> 01:03:30,416
...as an Indian person, I never thought
I would be offended by spices.
1253
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:33,125
- Yeah.
- But these are pretty racist condiments...
1254
01:03:33,208 --> 01:03:38,166
[in Norwegian] Has he been seasoning
my pork with garlic powder and piri-piri?
1255
01:03:38,250 --> 01:03:39,583
[in English] I mean, come on.
1256
01:03:39,666 --> 01:03:43,625
No disrespect,
but I use an entire garlic to fry an egg.
1257
01:03:43,708 --> 01:03:45,788
- You understand it's challenging to eat...
- Jashan.
1258
01:03:46,416 --> 01:03:51,166
...unseasoned pork with crunchy fat
and chewy fat and fat sauce.
1259
01:03:53,291 --> 01:03:56,500
Why do you have Black Boy
and Hindu spices in your house?
1260
01:03:57,166 --> 01:04:00,309
Well, if he doesn't like it, then I'm sure
we have a lot of curries that Shazam...
1261
01:04:00,333 --> 01:04:01,333
[Jashan] It's Jashan.
1262
01:04:02,291 --> 01:04:05,416
Okay? Not Shazam. Not Sasham. It's Jashan.
1263
01:04:06,083 --> 01:04:07,083
[whispers] Jashan.
1264
01:04:07,166 --> 01:04:08,166
What?
1265
01:04:09,833 --> 01:04:12,083
[in Norwegian] I'll go and get
some more sausages.
1266
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:17,458
- Are you done?
- Yes.
1267
01:04:17,541 --> 01:04:18,791
Have the rest.
1268
01:04:19,875 --> 01:04:22,142
[whispering in English] Can you please
just try to fit in?
1269
01:04:22,166 --> 01:04:23,000
[loudly] Fit in?
1270
01:04:23,083 --> 01:04:24,916
[whispering] Sh. Like Hildegunn does.
1271
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,517
[softly] Like Hildegunn
who pretends like she has no personality
1272
01:04:27,541 --> 01:04:29,708
so she can fit into
your Norwegian Christmas cult.
1273
01:04:31,625 --> 01:04:32,541
Christmas cult?
1274
01:04:32,625 --> 01:04:37,583
Yeah. Christmas cult, with your
crazy uniforms and your weird rituals.
1275
01:04:37,666 --> 01:04:43,000
I'm not asking you to dye your hair blond
or to speak Norwegian.
1276
01:04:43,083 --> 01:04:44,458
That's easier.
1277
01:04:44,541 --> 01:04:46,976
- [doorbell rings]
- I just want my family to be happy for us.
1278
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,833
Why would they be happy for us
if you force me to eat pork fat?
1279
01:04:49,916 --> 01:04:51,208
It's traditions.
1280
01:04:51,291 --> 01:04:53,791
So is baby tossing
and human sacrifice and stoning.
1281
01:04:53,875 --> 01:04:56,625
Just because it's tradition
doesn't mean it's good.
1282
01:04:56,708 --> 01:04:57,708
Oh.
1283
01:04:58,125 --> 01:04:59,875
- [Anne-Lise in Norwegian] Thea?
- Yeah?
1284
01:05:00,833 --> 01:05:02,833
[in English]
Can we please talk about this later?
1285
01:05:02,916 --> 01:05:04,541
No, I am upset now.
1286
01:05:05,125 --> 01:05:06,333
It's Christmas Eve.
1287
01:05:06,416 --> 01:05:08,541
And is that the answer for everything?
1288
01:05:08,625 --> 01:05:10,833
Why do atheists go to church?
It's Christmas.
1289
01:05:10,916 --> 01:05:13,458
Why do we swim in ice water?
It's Christmas.
1290
01:05:13,541 --> 01:05:15,500
Why do we hide our feelings?
It's Christmas.
1291
01:05:15,583 --> 01:05:18,791
[Anne-Lise in Norwegian] Thea,
Santa is here!
1292
01:05:18,875 --> 01:05:20,250
[in English] Santa is here.
1293
01:05:22,916 --> 01:05:23,916
What?
1294
01:05:24,875 --> 01:05:25,875
Santa is here?
1295
01:05:25,916 --> 01:05:27,875
[Jørgen in Norwegian] One last present.

1297
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,833
What does it say on this one?
1298
01:05:34,083 --> 01:05:36,458
- To Aunt Thea.
- [in English] Of course.
1299
01:05:37,250 --> 01:05:40,750
- [in Norwegian] Come on, Aunt Thea.
- You must come and get your present.
1300
01:05:44,708 --> 01:05:45,708
Yeah.
1301
01:05:50,125 --> 01:05:51,125
Hmm.
1302
01:05:52,416 --> 01:05:55,500
Maybe you want to sit on Santa's lap?
1303
01:05:56,666 --> 01:05:58,041
I think I'll stand.
1304
01:05:58,125 --> 01:06:00,958
- You have to sit.
- Yes, you have to sit.

Have you been a good girl this year,
Aunt Thea?
1309
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,833
[in English] I'm sorry.
Am I the only one who finds this weird?

[cracking knuckles]
1312
01:06:29,708 --> 01:06:31,750

he's not getting a present
from Santa this year?

1355
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,920
[in English] Do you think
that's what it's about?
1356
01:08:50,458 --> 01:08:51,625
It's you.
1357
01:08:54,041 --> 01:08:56,750
I knew it would be difficult
to fit in with your family,
1358
01:08:56,833 --> 01:08:59,583
and I knew it would be difficult
to fit in with your traditions.
1359
01:08:59,666 --> 01:09:03,500
And if you came to India,
you would have a hard time fitting in too.

1361

The difference is,
I would have had your back. [exhales]

I have your back.

- [Jashan] Do you?
- Yeah.
1364
01:09:17,875 --> 01:09:20,235
Or are you someone so obsessed
with making Christmas perfect
1365
01:09:20,291 --> 01:09:21,500
that you lost sight of me?
1366
01:09:27,208 --> 01:09:28,125
[Thea] That's not true.

we're engaged?

No. You can't be sad on Christmas Eve.

Where is Shazam?

Yes.

[whispers] It wasn't Santa.
1427
01:14:09,125 --> 01:14:12,833
It was just Jørgen who was pretending
because he is in love with you.

He's in love.

But...
1433
01:14:26,958 --> 01:14:33,416
But Jashan ruined your song in church,
and you were so excited about it.
1434
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,041
Not really. I just sang because
Mom says that Grandma wants me to.
1435
01:14:39,291 --> 01:14:40,750
[Hildegunn] No, Ronja.
1436

I like it when the children sing.
1439
01:14:49,458 --> 01:14:55,333
I was thinking.
Your bunad is so beautiful.
1440
01:14:55,416 --> 01:14:57,708
I think it's exquisite.
1441
01:14:57,791 --> 01:14:58,833
I have to go.
1442
01:14:58,916 --> 01:15:00,291
But it's Christmas Eve.
1443
01:15:02,291 --> 01:15:05,000
- I don't give a shit.
- You can't say "shit."
1444
01:15:05,083 --> 01:15:06,166
I don't give a shit.
1445
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:11,708
- Where are you going?
- The airport.
1446
01:15:11,791 --> 01:15:14,791
Sweetheart, are you sure...
1447
01:15:14,875 --> 01:15:17,041
No, I'm not sure, Mom. I'm not.
1448
01:15:18,500 --> 01:15:20,250
I just can't listen to you right now.
1449

[breathes deeply]
1450
01:15:22,541 --> 01:15:27,541
And I know you think that my relationship
with Jashan is just a phase
1451
01:15:27,625 --> 01:15:30,000
because I've messed around so much.
1452
01:15:33,708 --> 01:15:34,708
But it isn't.
1453
01:15:36,500 --> 01:15:39,375
[whispers] Maybe you should go and play
with your Christmas gifts.
1454
01:15:39,458 --> 01:15:40,291
[Ronja] Okay.
1455

[Thea sobs]
1456
01:15:41,541 --> 01:15:45,750
I've just tried to make
everything right this Christmas
1457
01:15:45,833 --> 01:15:48,750
because I know it's important to you
and because
1458
01:15:48,833 --> 01:15:51,125
I wanted to do it
like we always did it with Dad
1459
01:15:52,125 --> 01:15:54,291
to help Jashan fit in and... [sobs]
1460
01:15:55,541 --> 01:15:57,041
And to make you like him.
1461
01:15:58,750 --> 01:16:01,333
[sobs and laughs] But I've failed...
1462
01:16:03,291 --> 01:16:05,208
I have failed miserably.
1463
01:16:09,166 --> 01:16:15,500
But it's not mine or Jashan's job
to make you like him.

to be happy news,

to throw him out on Christmas Eve, then.

I thought my life was perfect.
1492
01:18:04,666 --> 01:18:08,458
You were supposed to live
in the house next door,
1493
01:18:08,541 --> 01:18:13,083
and your kids were supposed to come
to our house to do homework
