Happy, Happy Page #3

Synopsis: Family is the most important thing in the world to Kaja. She is an eternal optimist in spite of living with a man who would rather go hunting with the boys, and who refuses to have sex with her because she isn't particularly attractive anymore. Whatever. That's life. But when the perfect couple moves in next door, Kaja struggles to keep her emotions in check. Not only do these successful, beautiful, exciting people sing in a choir; they have also adopted a child - from Ethiopia. These new neighbors open a new world to Kaja, with consequences for everyone involved. And when Christmas comes around, it becomes evident that nothing will ever be like before - even if Kaja tries her very best.

I must say, you're very good...at...

-Blowing.

-No! No way.

I happen to know I'm not, so...

Elisabeth is

probably much better at...

I could do it again.

If you want.

Why not?

Take it easy.

We have a new choir member today.

Kaja, for those who don't know her.

Nice to have you here.

Let's hear it for Kaja!

Kaja, could you come here?

I need you to sing so I can determine

which voice type you have.

Sing ''All the Birds'. Three, four.

Excellent Let's try it

a little higher. Three, four.

Fine.

Let's go even higher.

Thank you!

-''Thank you''?

-Yes!

I'm serious.

I am.

And I'm not ashamed to say it.

I just feel so...

So good.

So completely ..

...and utterly good.

Do you understand what I mean?

Do you?

Yes.

I do.

I feel like I can do anything.

I don't want you to see my stomach!

-When did you two meet?

-In high school.

But you're not from around here.

I've lived many places. But I went

to high school here. With Eirik.

-0riginally I'm from Sogne.

-From Sogne?

-Do you visit your family there?

-No. I have no family. Fortunately!

Mom didn't want me, so I grew up

in different foster homes.

But now I have Eirik. And Theodor.

They mean more to me than anything.

Don't you agree?

That family is

the most important thing in the world?

Mhm.

Mhm.

You're ugly.

What did you say?

Look, I found your mom!

She's good.

.Do you want to try?

-Huh?

-Ow!

-There. Now start walking.

-Hide!

-No.

-Hi.

-Hi!

Hi.

Are you here?

Yeah.

Congratulate me. I shot a bull.

Wow. Congratulations.

A big bastard.

Want to come to the pub and celebrate?

I thought I'd go fora run.

Maybe I should join you?

-If you think you're up for it.

-Sure.

Absolutely.

Just let me get changed.

Could you grab that?

Sit-ups.

Man, that felt good!

-I know.

-Why did I ever quit?

.You haven't worked out for a while?

-No.

I used to be in great shape.

During my military service.

I wrestled

in the national championships

I was serious about it.

Me and a buddy from Bardufoss.

He was a great guy We used to

room together at training camp.

-I wonder what became of him?

-Did you lose contact?

Yeah. I married Kaja.

You know, family man and all that.

-It is what it is.

-Yeah.

Tell me about it. We think we

don't deserve any better, but we do.

Sh*t!

Well...

I think maybe you...

...misunderstood a little.

I was just kidding!

Right.

Anyway...

.Thanks for the run.

-Yes.

OK. See you later.

Daddy!

Out of my way!

Go ahead, start crying.

Come on, slave!

Come on!

Don't sit down!

-Hey.

-Yes?

Shoud we reset the clock?

Promise no whining afterwards?

We'll just reset the clock.

I don't want to hear,

''We haven't done it in a year.''
