- Are you stalking her?|- I was invited.

Sure.

Elisabeth, there's someone|I'd like you to meet.

- Sorry!|- Where have you been?

- The after party.|- You left the sh*t work for me!

Lousy, miserable, piece-of-sh*t job!

At least we get to be outside.

This is why Elisabeth dumped me.|I don't do anything.

I should be an artist,|have a career, wear a suit.

- Instead I've got this loser job.|- You're full of sh*t.

Yes...

- That was TV2.|- How did they find you?

I dropped a bunch of tapes|when I ran.

Sh*t!

Kristoffer?

Anders Stang.|Come with me.

- Are you kidding?|- Let me be frank:

We had someone else for|the feature on "Karsten Tonight," -

- but it sucked so bad|that we had to find something new.

And we start on Monday.

- Why would anyone watch that?|- It will be a huge hit. I'm sure of it.

It needs work, but it's funny.

Like "Jackass," but with a heart.|Something different.

I don't know.|I don't want to make a fool of myself.

The attention would be nice, though.

Sometimes you have to take a|chance. This is one of those times.

- Karsten, this is Kristoffer.|- Hi, nice to meet you.

If Anders believes in you,|I believe in you.

I'm glad you could do it|on such short notice.

- Have you talked about Stig Inge?|- Can he handle the TV exposure?

- He seems a little anxious.|- Is that a problem?

Here are the questions you wanted.

Or is it just an act?

Sure.

- He's worried about his reputation.|- Your job depends on my reputation.

- Let me talk to the boys first, but...|- You'll be a huge hit!

You're in!

- They want us to have our own...?|- Feature.

You don't have to do anything.|I'll film and do all the dirty work.

- What do they want us to do?|- What we normally do.

Nothing?

I've been working on the boat, OK?

What's going on here?

- We're going to be on TV.|- You three?

The mood after a race|is always nice.

Hi, you have reached Elisabeth.|Leave a message after the tone.

Elisabeth, it's Kristoffer.

Turn on TV2.

You may see someone you know.

Thank you for coming.|And now to a new segment:

Kristoffer lives with his two friends|at Tyen Center.

They are like most other|young guys. Well... almost.

Here is the first installment|of "Kristoffer's Video Diary."

March 27.|Excellent.

- The Center doesn't offer everything.|- What can't you do here?

I want to go on a picnic|out in nature.

A premiere party.|Wow!

Did you feel that, Stig Inge?|The subway wind.

The train should be here|any second now.

I think I forgot to lock the door.

I'll check.|You guys go ahead.

Excellent, boys!

I'll get us a drink.

Hey, guys!|Talk to you later.

That was hilarious.|Hi, I'm Karsten.

- Where is Stig Inge?|- Eh... I think he's coming later.
