God damn it. Fuck!
Hi.

- No, it just left. I missed it.
Ugh. God damn it, Stine!
I know, but they told me
there's a boat from Larvik to Hirtshals,
I think I can make it.
Okay, but make sure you get to this one.
I'll pick you up in Hirtshals.
I'll call you when I'm on my way
- I'll call you soon.
- Bye, honey. Hurry.
Fuck me!
Oh, what do I do?

This is a message for Kaja Melling.
Please contact the nearest
security guard or airport staff.
Your parents are looking for you.
- If anyone has seen Kaja Melling
- Hey.
- I'll pay with card, please.
- please report to staff.
You're paying yourself?
Yes, I am.
Yeah? Does your dad know
you're using his card?
Is that man your dad?
Yeah. Um He's my granddad.
Is that so?
He's pretty old,
so I have to kind of look after him.
Yeah?
Thank you.
MOM
SWIPE TO ANSWER
There. Have a good night.
Thank you.
Uh
Dude. Step on it.
Seriously, could you possibly
drive any slower?
Hey.
Hello, there?
What's your name?
- Frank.
- Frank?
Could you please drive a bit faster?
I have to make the flight from Torp.
- It's icy.
- I don't care if there's ice.
I'm paying you a year's fucking salary,
we better make it on time.
I can't drive any faster.
What if you just step on the gas?
- But if
- Put the pedal to the metal and go.
If you want to get to Torp,
you better let me do the driving, okay?
Um, you don't have
any nicotine gum, by chance?
Yeah. 120 kroner.
120, huh?
Norway, Ireland, and Bulgaria.
Hm!
Ven, Lucas.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Checking out?
- Attention all passengers
- Hmm.
- Okay.
This is a safety announcement.
For security reasons,
please keep all luggage
and personal belongings
with you at all times.
- It says it declined.
- Sorry?
Uh not approved.
Okay
Maybe you've got the wrong card, or
Okay.
Hmm.
Okay.
Hm.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Bye.
Vamos, Lucas.
So then, Mr Berg,
how's that, uh, chewing gum treating you?
Well, works pretty well as chewing gum,
but as a nicotine replacement, it's shit.
I agree. I tried that stuff when I first
quit smoking, but it wasn't for me.
- How'd you quit, then?
- My doctor made me do it.
Ah.
Hey, man.
Why'd you have to ruin her moment?
Excuse me?
The security guard, Thea?
She told you she'd seen you play.
Uh, what are you talking about?
It was such an important
and cherished memory for her.
Why was is so important
for you to ruin it?
Listen. I don't know who you are.
- But you got the wrong guy.
- I'm Santa Claus, okay?
Who are you? The fucking Grinch, then?
Now I'm at the airport, waiting
for my flight to depart. As you can see.
Everything is canceled
because of the terrible weather,
which is a small setback.
So, no Paris for me yet.
But hey, at least the airport
is looking beautiful
with all the lights
and all the Christmas music playing.
- Shh!
- Really gets me in the Christmas spirit.
Are you guys in the Christmas spirit?
Uh, so sorry, I have to get going.
There is a real party pooper next to me
who wants me to stop filming.
I'll be back in a couple hours.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Love you! Mwah!
I'd prefer you didn't
call me a "party pooper."
I just didn't want
to be a part of your little video.
You weren't on film.
No, but you were disturbing
the whole lounge.
It seems like
the only one I disturbed was you.
- Ahem.
- But sorry.
Is it fun being a pilot?
You must have seen the whole world.
If you've seen one airport,
you've seen them all.
But you must see more
than just the airports.
Isn't it fantastic to fly over
Paris or London or New York,
and see everything from above?
It must be magical to do what you do.
Especially around Christmas,
when everything is decorated with lights.
Christmas is a terrible holiday.
It only exists for us to use up
all our money before the new year,
so we can spend the next 11 months
paying off credit cards
we've maxed out buying gifts.
Unnecessary gifts,
like the perfect necklace.
I'm really looking forward
to seeing Paris at Christmas.
Paris is no more romantic than Strömstad,
even if you attached
a million lightbulbs to the Eiffel Tower.
Under the Eiffel Tower they stood,
reaffirming their love for each other.
After marriage vows and wedding bells,
by Arc de Triomphe they drove.
By the church of Notre-Dame de Paris,
promises they made again
that never, ever would they separate.
I'm sorry, but I guess
you must be pretty naive
if that's really what you dream about.♦
Then I guess
you really are a party pooper.
Attention all passengers.
Due to the weather conditions,
there has been delays and cancellations
- Iris?
- Oh, hi!
Have you seen an elderly man
with, uh white hair, a gray beard?
- No.
- He's the man I was with earlier?
I don't think I've seen him.
- Marius, can you
- One moment.
- Yes?
- Thank you.
Have you seen
that old man I was with earlier?
- Why? Has something happened?
- Uh
Uh, no, I I don't think so.
- Uh
- Do you have ten minutes now?
Uh I'm sorry.
- I can help you out later.
- All good.
- Please, call me if you see him.
- Will do.
- Of course. Yeah.
- Thanks.
Yes, good. Of course, I completely agree.
Yep, I'm in. Sounds good. All right. Bye.
All right, so management has decided
that all bars, stores, and restaurants
are staying open all night long.
There are a million
people stuck at this airport, apparently.
- Oh.
- Obviously, that makes sense.
Except I can't actually do that.
I'm gonna have to leave and go home.
- My boyfriend has made dinner
- Listen. You don't have to stay.
You can leave when you want.
- Wow, are you being serious?
- I am.
- Yeah?
- I can stay.
- Don't have any plans.
- Okay!
I'll be fine.
- Sure?
- Leave when you want.
- Okay! Thank you!
- Okay? Okay.
Yeah?
- Hi. Hi.
- Hi, Arthur.
I'm glad you picked up.
We need to have a little chat.
- Excuse me? Uh
- Uh-huh Wait.
- Could you just give me two seconds?
- Yeah.
Could you please turn off
the speakers on your phone?
- There are other people around.
- I can't. The radiation, in my ear.
I understand. If you want to be
somewhere more private for your call?
- You can go over there.
- Yeah.
- I'll be here watching your belongings.
- Uh Good.
- Give me two more seconds, okay?
- Sure.
- Is it possible for you to watch this?
- Yeah.
- Could I have a napkin?
- Yeah.
- Ready?
- Yes.
I, uh
- We'll have to cancel.
- No, no, no.
- We are not canceling.
- Yup, yup.
- No.
- You really want me to go to Tromsø?
- Are you drinking, Arthur?
- Yes, of course I'm drinking.
I'm not in the lounge, I'm flying economy,
and I'm stuck here
between the bartender, Santa,
and the Devil and his ugly grandmother.
- What do you want me to do?
- That's what I wanted to talk about.
What's that?
- You've only sold 32 tickets in advance.
- Yeah, thanks for telling me.
- One more time.
- What really happened in Oslo, huh?
- It was just a bad night.
- All the critics say you lost it.
So you believe the critics, then?
Who cares if I believe them? What matters
is the audience believes them.
So?
Yeah, so you're the only person who knows
if you've actually lost it or not.
And the only thing I know is,
that in case you have lost
Arthur, could you lift your phone off
your pants, please? I'm talking to you.
If you did lose it, you have to find it
before you step on that stage in Tromsø.
Okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Talk later, kisses!
Talk later.
I'm going to Larvik, can I get a ride?
Larvik is way too far away. Sorry.
Ugh!
Hi, I'm going to Larvik.
Can you take me there, please?
- No, sorry.
- Come on!
There's gotta be someone
who can give me a ride to Larvik! Please!
Excuse me?
I'm going to Kristiansand and I can drop
you by Larvik if you're interested.
Yeah, you would do that? You sure?
I just have to pick up a friend
on the way.
- But my boat leaves in three hours.
- You can make it.
- Just come with me.
- Thanks.
Thank you.
What's that smell?
Food.
Talk to you soon. Bye.
Aah
All is calm ♪
All is bright ♪
A little peace offering
for being a, uh, party pooper just now.
Do you think you can apologize with a
What is that?
It's called a "Christmas latte."
Sleep in heavenly peace ♪
Sleep ♪
- In heavenly peace ♪
- So, Paris. What are your plans?
Other than celebrating Christmas.
Everything okay?
Yes, sir. I was just, uh,
helping a woman in need.
- I see.
- This wheel was squeaking pretty badly.
- But I fixed it.
- Ah, good, good.
- Here. Thanks for this.
- It's my pleasure. Is that a wish list?
No, no. It was for the girl
who was sitting right here.
- What to get her father
- What are you doing?
Oh, hey. I just, uh, got rid of
all the squeaking, eek-eek!
You see?
No one asked you to mess with that.
I liked the squeaks, so
So you like it broken?
It's my bag, isn't it?
I apologize.
I'll mind my own business.
He was trying to be nice.
Yeah, I understand.
There aren't many people
quite like him.
No.
- A wish list?
- Uh, yeah.
- For my dad.
- Oh, wow.
So have you figured out
what to get him yet?
It's been a lot harder
than I thought, honestly.
Hmm.
I'll think of something.
We have a dog
that's stuck in transit.
No, not at all.
She's not sick, she was just, uh
She was supposed to be
on another flight that got canceled,
so now she's left down here.
Yeah, I mean
sure, we can keep her.
Yeah, for a few hours, I guess.
Uh yeah, she's drinking water.
Okay, so you'll call me later, then?
Yeah. Okay, thanks.
Well it's just you and me, Lasso.
Hi! You cold?
Hey.
- Hey!
- So, my dog's a little cold.
I was just wondering if you sell any
dog overalls?
- Or
- Yes, we sell dog jumpers.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
- That is perfect.
- So cute.
Wow, would you look at that?
- Here. We only sell pink ones, so
- Oh, I think that should be fine.
All right, then.
This should be the right size.
- Mm-hm.
- See?
Yeah, that looks great.
That'll be perfect.
- Sounds good.
- Thanks.
Let's put in your discount, of course.
Hm. Thanks.
- What's his name?
- Uh, her name is Lasso.
Aw, that's so cute.
- Thanks.
- Do you want a bag?
- No, I'm good, thanks. Thank you.
- Okay.
But can't we do it the day after tomorrow?

HARESTUA INN
Jesus
The red one.
Yes, but I can't find it.
They have green, blue, turquoise.
They have to have the red one, Ingvild!
But, Ida, is it that important?
I know you like the others too.
How about blue?
Uh, no. You know what? Fuck it.
If they don't have strawberry flavor,
just forget about it.
I, um could go to the other store
and see what they have there
if it's that important.
Yeah, that sounds great.
Mmm okay, then. Fine.
Awesome.
Oh my God.
Fucking bitch.
I figured you could use a pint.
Not like we're going anywhere, huh?
Goddamn fucking bitch.
Ida!
What the hell is this?
- Is that my notebook?
- Yeah, what the hell is this?
- Where did you find that?
- These lyrics? They're about me!
- Can I have it?
- My life!
- Are you reading it?
- What I went through! You stole my life!
- What are you talking about?
- You know!
- No!
- You can't be that stupid!
- What the hell is your problem?
- What the hell is yours, Ingvild?
- Ida, wait. We can't stay
- Were you going to give these to someone?
- Ida! We can't talk about this here.
- Huh?
- I don't give a fuck where we are!
- Of course you don't!
- I do! Not everything revolves around you!
- Just answer my fucking question!
Are you even listening to me right now?
You're working with someone else.
No, Ida, I'm not. I'm not working
for someone else. You're so paranoid!
I wrote those songs for you.
For you.
I just hadn't shown them to you because
I was afraid you'd say they're stupid.
Fucking brat.
Ugh!
Hey, move! Move!
Mmph. Gracias.
How can I thank you?
You're a God-sent angel.
- Me? A God-sent angel?
- Mmm.
Well, well, well.
Muchas gracias for that, but no, I'm not.
Uh, I'm no angel. I'll tell you that much!
Um
Hey, I mean, no wings on me, to put it
that way. Okay? No, no, but, uh
Yeah, really, this is, uh
Uh, no worries. It's
Christmastime, and everybody
should be kind to each other

Uh, Feliz Navidad!
So, yes. Todos should be kind.
This is my opinion, then.
Oh
Yes. Oh, yes, yes.
¡Gracias! Gracias.
Gracias, that was
That was nice, por por favor

- Gracias.
Lucas has been
Lucas?
Uh, Lucas?
Lucas?
Lucas, honey,
you can't be playing this piano.
What the fuck took you so damn long?
- Yeah. There was a line.
- Couldn't you have just pissed outside?
Listen.
I'm gonna use the toilet
whenever I feel like going.
If you have a problem with that,
leave this car.
Fine. Just drive.
- Huh? Let's go, God damn it!
- Can't.
- I think we're stuck.
- Just put your foot on the pedal
- Drive!
- I am, but we're stuck.
Okay, fine. Then get us free.
One of us has to push.
Uh, I'm not going out there
to fucking push your car!
Get help from someone in there.
There's no one in there.
- I thought you said there was a line?
- I was lying.
Attention all passengers.
This is a safety announcement.
For security reasons, please keep
and personal belongings
with you at all times.
We wish you a pleasant flight.
- A bad day?
- Excuse me.
No, uh don't apologize.
But aren't you in the wrong place?
This is the men's room.
Um no, it isn't
Ah, so it's me who messed up, then.
Sorry about that.
Don't worry about it.
So, um
You don't need to answer to me
but why are you crying?
Because
I'm tired of being around
someone
who steals all of my energy, and my time.
Hm.
Who is always treating me
like a fucking servant,
like a piece of shit.
Yeah. That sounds
like an unhealthy relationship.
Yeah.
How did it come to that?
I don't know, I just
feel like she doesn't see me.
Hm.
That's unfortunate.
Relationships are fragile.
I've ruined a few myself.
How so?
Hm, look around
this airport, for example.
Random people meeting one another
in a line, or in a bar.
- A bathroom?
- Yeah.
You know
Sometimes, a friendship starts
with an act of kindness.
Other times, it's because
you and another person
get through a strange situation together.
Hm.
And sometimes,
you just have a little extra time
to strike up
a conversation with a stranger.
Maybe you flirt.
But there's there's
no telling where your friendship will go.
You have to let it unfold. Watch it.
I see.
I guess that's the hardest part.
Yeah. Friendship can hurt.
Sometimes, you don't even know why.
Perhaps your friend takes your friendship
for granted at times.
Perhaps she doesn't understand
what your friendship means to you.
I think it's very clear.
I feel like I give
everything I have for her.
And then it feels really shitty
when she just doesn't
Hm, hm.
I just don't understand why she
She clearly sees
me different from who I am.
Why can't others see
what we see in ourselves?
If I knew that, I wouldn't be
sitting here in a women's room stall,
sneaking a cigarette.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Ready?
- Ready!
Okay.
Drive! Let's go!
Is it is it in drive?
Move the stick to D!
- Ah.
- Put it in gear,
and step on it!
One
two, three!
Oh shit.
Oh shit!
