Bye.

Don't you have any dance music?

Don't you ever let up? Hey?

You've got to do one thing at a time.

You've got the TV on.

You can't start dancing around

as well. Sure I've got music.

Have you got any Madonna?

Knudsen & Ludvigsen?

"Cause I get dumber daily,

juba, juba," -

- "dancing in the mirror... "

When do you usually go to bed?

When I want.

You wish. So, like, -

- after you go to bed, does mom have

her friends come by for some beer?

She doesn't like beer. We buy cheap

booze in Sweden. We're smugglers.

Can I put the sticker on the mirror?

No. I don't want that

sticker on the mirror.

There. All set for

a good night's sleep.

There. Go to sleep.

Sh*t. There. Good night.

- Humpelfinkel!

- Hush!

My comfort toy.

- Who is it?

- Go back to bed.

- But I need my comfort toy!

- Come on.

Where is it? Dammit!

There.

Listen, I'm not like other dads.

I don't work at the supermarket.

Now go to bed.

Hello? Hey?

- You can't sit here.

- Mommy!

Hello? Hey?

Hi. I heard this noise. I was putting

Daniel to bed. No easy feat, he's...

- I didn't invite her.

- Well, she was shouting your name.

Hey?

Don't spit in the stairway.

- I mean, I know her...

- Mommy!

I'll be right there, Daniel. Drink

your milk and go to the bathroom.

Jarle... Herdis' little f***er.

Sorry about all this.

Good night, Grete.

- Here. Come on.

- Not so fast.

- Not so fast.

- Let me help you out of this.

I'll take it.

- Who is it?

- Lotte, go back to bed.

Have you been to the bathroom

and had your milk? Or vice versa?

- I can't get to sleep.

- Right.

- Shall I read something for you?

- Who the hell is she?

- Come on, let's find you a book.

- Don't you have any children's books?

No. You know what?

I'll make up a story for you.

Come on, let's go. That's right.

Okay, let's see...

Once upon a time... Once upon

a time, there was a princess -

- who didn't want to be a princess.

One day she was out riding

her horse on the plains.

She fell off the horse and died.

But daddy...

I know. Just listen. Because...

So there was a funeral.

But then...

In the middle of the night.

There was nobody left in the church.

- Suddenly there was a sound.

- A sound?

A creaking sound.

The coffin lid opened.

The princess crawled out.

She ran out into

the forest - and was free.

She didn't want to be a princess

any more. So she'd just -

- faked her own death, like.

Good night.

But daddy, I didn't like that

she didn't want to be a princess.

You'll discover that you won't like

a lot of things about life.

Daddy?

- Is it huge?

- Yeah, it's really enormous!

- Have you seen penguins before?

- Yes, but only on TV.
