I can't really picture it.

Oh? Got any money?

Got you there!

- I forget what we were talking about.

- Money. Let's talk about money.

We want to create

something big together, Erik and I.

- But this can be big.

- The rent is pretty steep.

We'll work it out.

Did you know I once saw your dad

faint purely out of rage?

In the public swimming pool.

I caught you, Erik. Remember?

And I will do it again,

because I'm your friend, Erik.

That just got me the job.

I could feel it.

Did you feel it too, Freja?

What's so funny?

- You need to call others. I'm broke.

- Yeah, sure.

How about Ditte and Steffen?

- Yeah, didn't she get a new job?

- Yes, she's an associate professor now.

This is far too bright. I don't have

furniture for a room that faces south.

- You mean Ditte Johansen?

- How about this one then?

Now you're talking!

This is so me.

- Ole, do you mean Ditte Johansen?

- Yeah, she's a manipulative b*tch.

We'll just put our foot down

from the start.

Can't we call someone else?

You must know others, Ole.

We'll show her who's in charge.

It won't be a problem.

- We'll bloody well have to.

- You bet.

Okay, we'll show her.

Have you drawn up any house rules?

Shall I?

- They're still in...

- Yeah.

- They're still in the works.

- Yeah, they're a little incomplete.

Could you tell us about them?

Sure, they're...

- Have you made any or not?

- Not yet, but...

- You need house rules.

- Sure...

I'd love... We'd love to help.

We have lots of experience.

Let me just add

that the rent is pretty steep.

- A house like this, you know...

- That's not a problem.

I haven't seen you in ages.

Hey, sweetie,

can you tell them your name?

- This is Vilads. He's six.

- Hi, Vilads.

He's got a heart condition,

so he has to take it easy.

Oh, that sounds serious.

I'm going to die when I turn nine.

- Bloody hell!

- Wow, you know that for sure?

No, we don't. But he scores

a lot of points with that sentence.

- The girls love it.

- Right on!

They only gave him a couple of years -

- but there's stuff

he wants to do first.

That's the spirit.

Good for you, Vilads.

- How old is she?

- How old are you, Freja?

- I'm 14.

- Do you think she's nice?

I'll only live to be nine.

He moves fast!

I'll probably also develop

a heart condition soon.

- How do we do this?

- Vote on it.

- Hell, I'm all for.

- Me too.

- Me too.

- And me.

- You too?

- Well, it's a fact then.

Get Steffen a beer.

- A beer?

- Please.

- This is going to be great.

- Welcome.

So, Mona's turn tomorrow.

I try.

What do you do for a living, Allon?

- Odd jobs.

- I ask, because the rent is steep.

Everybody is made aware of this.
