I'm trying to watch out for changes

in my condition.

It's the first time in my life

that I've been so self-aware.

And I feel good about it.

Hi.

Are you going out?

- We're going to the cinema.

With Ellen and Frederik.

Want to come?

Is it one of Mum's Chinese films?

- Yes.

I think I'll pass, then.

Is Tobias coming over tonight?

- I don't know. Why?

He usually does when we're out.

When do we get to meet him?

- Soon.

Grandma called.

- Yes... How is she?

Fine. It sounds

like they take good care of her.

I think she'd be happy

if you rang her.

I will.

I keep forgetting. It's pathetic.

I'll get around to it, though.

Hi.

- Nothing today, thank you.

Well, they're on special offer.

They're for Sigrid.

They need to be planted

before the frost sets in.

Didn't you bring Ellen?

- She's just coming.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

I get to think about a lot of things.

- Don't overdo it.

Hi.

- Hi.

But when he gets started...

- Sorry! I lost track of time.

Hi, darling.

- Hi.

Good to see you.

- You too.

Wow, this is fantastic.

What a kitchen!

I'm glad you said that.

- I was raving to Mikael about it.

We're really pleased with it.

- Where did you get the lamps?

On the net.

I Like to keep it simple.

And different.

- Should we...

Why don't we stay in?

We could just stay in and chat.

What do you think?

Fine by me.

- Me too.

Then we need some more wine.

I was looking forward to that film.

- What did you say?

Sorry we're late.

- Don't worry.

This is Tobias.

And this is my dad.

Hi, I'm Tobias.

Pleased to meet you.

- Same to you, Tobias.

But he's so articulate.

Yes, but it annoyed me that he was

nervous. Usually he's really funny.

But that's what happens

when you meet The Incredible Hulk.

Do you think it's weird

that I've started seeing boys?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

I thought he'd be covered in tattoos,

but he was quite normal.

What's going on?

- What do you mean?

You've just been

really cheerful lately.

I'm always cheerful.

Aren't I?

Not until you feel well do you realize

how uncomfortable you used to be.

I thought for too long

that my life was blissful boredom.

For the first time in ages

I feel like I'm moving on.

Every moment seems intense.

The effect of the pills

has surprised me.

Deep down, I never thought

they would make any difference.

Get the f*** away from me,

you bastard. F***ing moron!

What the hell are you doing,

you f***ing psycho?

Mikael!

What are you doing?

Hi, Michael.

- Hello.

The door was open.

Come in.

Do you want a cup of tea?

No thanks.

I actually came to tell you that

we're abandoning the trial.

So I'll probably go on leave,

just Like you.
