Right.

But these penguins are real.

They eat fish and stuff. Morning.

Daddy! We're going to

a great big aquarium!

- And they've got...

- P...

Yeah, they've got penguins there.

You've got a really sweet daughter.

Were you planning to let me know?

- I tried to tell you yesterday.

- Right. That may well be true.

- Have you got any more secrets?

- It may come as a bit of a surprise.

It's not real gold.

I'm just a student, after all.

I'll take a shower,

then we'll see the aquarium.

Is she your girlfriend, daddy?

Penguins!

- But are penguins birds or fish?

- They're birds.

But they can't fly. How can they

be birds? They have to be fish.

They're still birds.

No, I don't feel like it.

- What's eating you?

- Yeah, what's eating you?

We're seeing the aquarium.

That'll have to do.

Smoking can kill you, you know.

Well, I'm not gonna die today.

One, two, three!

Look at me, Herdis.

I'm not cut out for this.

I'm not cut out to be a father.

One week, then I'm done.

I don't want a daughter.

No.

Hey...

Last night, yesterday evening, -

- I went out with Robert.

Gothenburg.

Robert...

Has strong feelings for me.

And I...

I've grown very fond of him.

I told him about us last night,

yesterday evening.

And he...

Well, I don't know how to put it.

But I think I -

- want to be with him.

You've been awesome, really.

You're so... Jarle, you're

so sweet. So intense and...

Stop it.

Walk like this, daddy!

Walk like this!

Daddy says you're his girlfriend.

Are you?

You're just a feminist slut!

Hey, I've had a...

I know this is sort of short notice.

But a friend of mine has

suddenly fallen seriously ill.

I wondered if you could babysit

my daughter for a few hours?

Yeah, I have a daughter.

She's really sweet.

Okay, Lotte. Daddy has to go

to a meeting. Have a nice time here.

- Okay, I won't be late.

- No problem.

Like, what can I say? It's what

happens when you're a teenager.

I mean, I was like standing there,

reading the letter.

The world just fell apart

before my eyes.

So I went to the airport.

She arrived with a sign saying:

- "I travel alone".

- We all do.

- Poetic, Hasse.

Just trying to get through.

She's got the most innocent look

in her eyes, a tiny rucksack -

- and a soft toy named Humpelfinkel.

- Does she wet her bed?

- No, she's almost eight.

It's still fairly common. No problem,

just make sure you have extra sheets.

Yeah, it's actually quite common.

It's easy to...

What does Herdis think?

Is she happy about being a mom?

Oh, Herdis just loves kids. Jesus.

Jarle, I...

Holy sh*t, I'm sorry.

Hey, where are you going?

Bloody hell. F***, Jarle!

Oh, sh*t!

Let's go home. Forget it.
