Sorry for the delay, weâll be releasing episode 9 and 10 hardsubbed this week as well as the subtitle (.ass) files. Weâll be posting everything in one big master post for simplicity.
SANA: Heâs the one who bought the toilet paper rolls.
THE GIRLS: Oh! Thatâs right!
VILDE: Where did they end up?
BOY: I just sold them to some friends at the Mosque. Nothing big.
EVA: Oh, okay.
BOYS: Eyyyy!
ESKILD: Eid mubarak! Eid mubarak.
SANA: Hi!
ESKILD: Hi!
SANA: Welcome.
ESKILD: Thank you and I just wanted to say Eid mubarak!
SANA: Eid mubarak!
ESKILD: Eid mubarak
SANA: Ohhh, how nice the two of you look!
ESKILD: Thanks! Iâm the one who chose the outfits for tonight. I went to GrĂžndland and did some shopping. Yes.
SANA: Hijab and everything?
ESKILD: Hijab and everything. And I brought a little present! I brought a gift for the hostess. Itâs two boreks that I put in a nice box.
SANA: Thatâs very nice of you.
ESKILD: You can put it on the table for the guests.
SANA: Yes, thank you so much
ESKILD: And I didnât find an Eid mubarak card, so I bought a merry Christmas card, because itâs the same.
SANA: Awww, thank you.
ESKILD: And you look very nice. Much nicer than.. Yeah.
SANA: Thank you so much.
ESKILD: Very pretty. And you too, even though you havenât dressed up. In your own way. You didnât go for an âoriginalâ outfit, but you look very nice. I more cultured. Or weâre more cultured. Are you going to say anything?
ISAK: Itâs a while since you had this for dinner?
EVEN: We ate this every day after school.
ISAK: Why donât you try making it yourself?
EVEN: There are so many spices and herbs and..
ISAK: Expensive?
EVEN: No, itâs not really expensive, itâs just a totally different way of cooking.
ISAK: Canât we just have an afternoon where you just make a lot of Moroccan food for me?
EVEN: Yeah. Thatâs fine.
ISAK: Great.
EVEN: And some delicious tea.
ISAK: These potatoes are really good.
EVEN: Yeah, itâs good? Let me have a taste.
ISAK: Itâs not like Norwegian potatoes.
EVEN: Delicious! Potato salad? Meatballs?
ISAK: No. Itâs in a pretty hot sauce.
EVEN: Hot sauce. Chili.
ISAK: Hot sauce, yeah.
EVEN: Alright.
ISAK: Are we going on a vacation together?
EVEN: What kind of vacation?
ISAK: I wanna do stuff with you.
EVEN: Weâre doing that anyways.
ISAK: Yeah, but.. It would be awesome to go abroad or something.
EVEN: But Iâm so impulsive - I canât plan that stuff.
ISAK: I can check out plane tickets to Morocco or something.
EVEN: Seriously?
ISAK: Yeah. Wouldnât that be nice? The two of us in Marrakech?
EVEN: Yeah.
ISAK: Yeah?
EVEN: Iâve always wanted to go.
ISAK: Then Iâll check it out.
EVEN: You mean it?
ISAK: Dad sent me a lot of money for summer, so..
EVEN: Chill! Plus all the tips I get at Kaffebrenneriet.
ISAK: Yeah, right?
WILLIAM: Where?
NOORA: Isnât your car..?
WILLIAM: The car?
NOORA: Yeah?
WILLIAM: Wow.
NOORA: Itâs not far..
WILLIAM: We havenât done it in that car, have we?
NOORA: No. Letâs do it.
ESKILD: Hi!
NOORA: Hi!
ESKILD: Itâs just that Linn wanted to say something. I donât know what, but she really wanted to talk a bit.
LINN: We just wanted to say that we love you a lot and that if you want to move in with William, we support you.
NOORA: Aww! Oh my God, youâre so cute, but I havenât.. Itâs so nice that youâre supportive, but Iâm not going to move.
ESKILD: Arenât you going to move in with William?
NOORA: No.
ESKILD: Youâre choosing us over William?
NOORA: Iâm not choosing anyone over anyone. I just.. Weâre just not moving in together yet.
ESKILD: Yeah, but youâre choosing us over William. Oh my God, then weâre.. Weâre Kollektivet* together!
NOORA: Yeah.
ESKILD: Yeah! Kollektivet! Kollektivet! Jump and dance and be happy. Oh, I have an idea! William can move in with us and weâll be four! Itâll be cheaper with toilet paper and dish soap and everything thatâs cheap and good, maybe if we make a Powerpoint presentation and sell it a bit better, you can decide later.
WILLIAM: I can..
ESKILD: If you agree, Linn? Do you agree? So, itâll be so fucking good. Itâll be a fashion kollektiv! We can have guests over and.. Oh! You smell good!
WILLIAM: Thanks. You too.
NOORA: Yeah. He does.
ESKILD: Thanks. New perfume.
NOORA: Eskild?
ESKILD: Hm?
NOORA: My man.
ESKILD: Yeah. Your man, but when we all move in together, weâre going to share a lot of stuff..
NOORA: Him? No.
ESKILD: Yeah, him. Shampoo and William and.. Dish soap and everything else, but.. We can have Sunday board game night where we can play Ludo and stuff.
NOORA: The three of us can do that.
ESKILD: But then weâll only be three, not four. Itâs so boring with only three.
WILLIAM: Yeah..
ESKILD: You can have the blue chip, Linn have the green one and you can have the red one. Because of the lipstick! Not because of something else.
ISAK: Good watermelon.
SANA: Yeah, itâs very juicy.
ISAK: Yeah. Even fed me lots of delicious food a few moments ago. Very, very good.
SANA: Iâve had it before..
ISAK: We got to celebrate! The both of us got 6âes!
SANA: Yeah, I got a 6 at least.
ISAK: I got a 6 too.
SANA: You didnât get a 6!
ISAK: I did!
SANA: You didnât know.. I had to help you!
ISAK: Yeah, you helped me and then I got a 6.
SANA: I didnât help you that well.
ISAK: You. Wow! You tried to tell me a bit, but not enough.
SANA: No, but I thought âWow, he doesnât even know the basicsâ. You canât have gotten more than a 5, tops.
ISAK: I got a 6.
SANA: You can tell me.
ISAK: No.
SANA: Tell me you got a 5. Itâs okay.
ISAK: Iâm just getting shy because youâre so pretty today!
SANA: Awww! Thanks.
ISAK: Like seriously, youâre very pretty.
SANA: Thanks.
ISAK: But uhm.. No.. I got a 5.
SANA: You got a 5?
ISAK: Yeah, but I donât dare to tell anyone.
SANA: Yeah, but itâs ok. I got a 6!
CHRIS: Hey, girl!
VILDE: Heeey!
CHRIS: Good food.
VILDE: Very good!
CHRIS: So good. I think Iâm on plate number four or something. Okay, I have to say something.
VILDE: What?
CHRIS: I just wanted to say that if.. If you need someone to talk to, Iâm here. Okay? We can talk about difficult stuff.
VILDE: Do you know why youâre my best friend? Itâs because.. No matter how bad of a day Iâm having, you always find a way to make me laugh. Itâs not like you always have to talk. Sometimes, it just helps to pretend that youâre fine.
CHRIS: But itâs important that you have someone to talk to, right?
VILDE: I do.
[EVEN: We talked about it..
ISAK: To bike?
EVEN: No, about going to Morocco. Should we bring the guys?
ISAK: Of course, itâs a boysâ trip.
EVEN: Yeah.
ISAK: Boysâ trip in Morocco. It can go very wrong. Itâs worth a shot.]
NOORA: Hi. Are you okay?
VILDE: Yes.
NOORA: Yeah?
CHRIS: Yeah.
NOORA: Yeah, good. I was just wondering about whoâs going to hold Sanaâs speech.
SARA: Wow. Ingrid, do you want to try?
INGRID: The closest thing Iâve tried is one of those juice cleanses, and it didnât work very well.
SARA: Yeah, but thatâs just drinking juice. They canât drink.
INGRID: You canât even drink?
JAMILLA & GIRLS: No.
INGRID: Not even water?
JAMILLA & GIRLS: No.
INGRID: Then this has to be fantastic. A celebration with lots of food and..
JAMILLA: Yes, right?
CHRIS: I just had some salad before. With tomatoes and..
EVA: Tomatoes? Ew. I donât like them.
CHRIS: Why not?
EVA: Theyâre slimy and gross.
CHRIS: Itâs not. You eat ketchup all the time. Thatâs tomatoes.
EVA: No, itâs not! Itâs the stuff inside the tomato thatâs gross.
CHRIS: Yeah, but like..
EVA: The mushy stuff.
CHRIS: Just donât eat that part then.
EVA: Eat the part around it? Yeah, thatâs good.
CHRIS: You donât have a lot of delicious stuff on your plate either. Whatâs that purple stuff?
EVA: ThatâsâŠ
CHRIS: Yeah..
EVA: I think itâs..
CHRIS: You think itâs better than tomatoes?
EVA: I havenât tried it. It was okay.
CHRIS: It seemed very delicious.
EVA: Thereâs lots of good food here! Have you tried these?
CHRIS: No.
EVA: Theyâre so good - you have to try them.
CHRIS: I didnât even know they had that here.
EVA: Theyâre like meatballs. Like the best Iâve ever had. I know, right?
CHRIS: Where?
EVA: I found them at the other end of the table. In a big pot.
[Inaudible chatter in the background]
[Lover where do you live? - Highasakite]
EMMA & CHRIS: Hey.
EMMA: Who are you?
CHRIS: Chris. Your new boyfriend.
EMMA: Hi, my new boyfriend.
EVA: Whatâs even happening right now?
JONAS: I think we got ditched. You have a little. You have something there.
EVA: Huh?
JONAS: No, the other cheek.
EVA: Where? Here? Take it off.
JONAS: Yeah..
VILDE: Eva, do you wanna hold the speech for Sana?
[YOUSEF: Hey, girl. Is the party any good?
SANA: Really fucking good
YOUSEF: WOW <3
Iâve been here today.
One day, Iâm bringing you there]
JONAS: Itâs time for the speech!
VILDE: Speech!
EVERYONE: Speech, speech, speech, speech!
JONAS: I didnât write it. It was Noora.
NOORA: And William! And Isak helped a little too.
JONAS: Dear Sana, this speech is for you. And youâre getting it because what youâre inviting us to today, overthrows American presidents tomorrow. We live in a chaotic world where itâs difficult to understand the rules. Because why are some people poor and other people rich? Why do some people have to be refugees, while others are safe? Why are some people spit on on the street? And why is it that sometimes, even though you try to do something good, itâs still met with hate? Itâs not weird that people give up. That they stop believing in the good. But thank you so much for not giving up, Sana. Because even though it sometimes feels like it, no oneâs ever alone. Each and every one of us is a part of the big chaos. And what you do today, has an effect tomorrow.
[EVA VOICEOVER: We should maybe ask someone for advice..
CHRIS TEXT: Hey, this is maybe a bit far out, but you dated Eva once. Iâm crushing a bit on her and I donât really get her, from one bro to another, do you have any advice? What kind of flowers does she like hahaha]
JONAS: It can be hard to say, exactly what kind of effect. And you usually canât see how everything fits together.
[EVA VOICEOVER: We have to take care of each other.
EVEN TEXT: Heâs way too good for me.
CHRIS TEXT: Thatâs now what I see. I see a boyfriend whoâs more than good enough. Someone who has made a pretty mad boy into a happy boy.]
JONAS: But the effects of your actions, are always there, somewhere in the chaos. In a hundred years, we may have machines that can predict the effect of every action, but until then, we can trust this:
[SARA INSTAGRAM: Iâm just so fuckign tired of Ingrid being so needy and insecure all the time]
JONAS: Fear spreads.
[Flashing images of hate comments about Skam]
JONAS: But..
[COMMENTS: Iâd never want to be without this <3<3<3<3
Sana needed this so much! And I did too!
This group has become a big, nice, alternative family
...just thanks! <3
Everything is just love.
Yes, Iâm gay and Evak opened âŠ
Iâm sailing with you around the world, FogE
Iâm with you in every parallel universe, for eternity <3
Iâm almost crying, but Iâm so fucking happy too
Iâm crying, because Iâm Vilde]
JONAS: But fortunately, love does too.

ESKILD: You look so good, Linn! Youâre so pretty.
LINN: Canât I just wear the blue summer dress?
ESKILD: No, you canât just wear the blue summer dress! Okay, this is the most important holiday to Muslims. Itâs not a whore and pimp party.
LINN: But do I have to wear a veil?
ESKILD: Yes, you have to wear a veil, Linn. Itâs like if Sana showed up to your place on Christmas in sweatpants. Do you think your mother, Mette, wouldâve been happy about that? She wouldnât. She wouldâve been angry. Linn.. Whatâs up with you these days?
LINN: Do you think Noora is going to move out?
ESKILD: Come and sit down. You know that Noora loves us a lot, right? And that.. Even though weâre not fans of William.. Noora is much better than him, but she should be allowed to live her life, right? And I think we just have to be very good friends to her and support her no matter what she does. And I think that even though she doesnât always show it, Noora loves us very much and wants us to be happy. And weâre going to be happy. And do you know why? Because we have each other and Iâm going to take care of you and youâre going to take care of me. Itâs you and me against the world.
LINN: The two of us against the world.
ESKILD: Youâre so nice. I also want one. A veil, but I canât. Should we drink some Pepsi Max? You had a booger.
ELIAS: Whatâs up everyone. This is unfortunately our last Hei Briskeby video.. PSYCHE!
ADAM: This is not our last one!
ELIAS: Never! Yousef went to Turkey, like you know, but in the meanwhile we have a stand-in. He deserves an introduction.
MUTASIM: Okay, ready? Okay! Come on! Weâre starting slow.
ELIAS: Yeah, yeah.
MUTASIM: Great, okay boys. Who is coming?
MIKAEL: What the fuck?
MUTASIM: Who is coming? Who is it? Who is it?

MIKAEL: Trump is bombing Norway.

ELIAS: *???* is here to invade the country. Okay, todayâs challenge is âBest friendâs challenge.
[BEST BUD CHALLENGE
Someone gets a question
The others answer on a piece of paper
The loser gets a nipple twist]
ELIAS: The ones who choose the wrong answer, get a nipple twist.
ADAM: Iâm not doing that, man.
ELIAS: Okay, itâs Evenâs turn.
EVEN: What is my catchphrase?
MIKAEL: Fucking.. What.. What is it..
MUTASIM: I KNOW IT! I know it.
ELIAS: Ready, set, go!
MUTASIM: âRelax! Iâve got you.
EVEN: What was it?
MUTASIM: âRelax! Iâve got youâ
ELIAS: âRelax, Iâve got youâ
EVEN: You wrote that too?
MIKAEL: âHit it (a joint)â
ADAM: He always used to..
[420 THOOOO]
ELIAS: âHey broâ, âRelax, Iâve got youâ, âDo you have snus*?â, âRelax, Iâve got youâ âBro do you have..â
ADAM: Itâs true, he always says that.
ELIAS: âDo you have any perfume?â, âYeah, relax bro, Iâve got youâ. Okay. Where is your nipple?
MIKAEL: AHHHH! Fuck!!
ADAM: Get it together, you idiot. Poor him.
ELIAS: Who sent me a DM on Insta last?
ADAM: You know them.
EVEN: Yeah?
ELIAS: One, two, three. Okay, what did you write? âIsabellâ, âIsabell from Elvebakken*â, âIsabellâ
EVEN: Nooo? Isabell!
ADAM: Theyâre still talking!
EVEN: Are you hooking up with Isabell? Sheâs cute, though.
ADAM: He was the one who..
EVEN: Sheâs cute.
[Incomprehensible, talking over each other]
ADAM: If youâre going to hook up, tell me, because sheâs seriously hot.
ELIAS: Oh! So you..
ADAM: You talk to too many girls at the same time.
ELIAS: So youâre taking my leftovers?
MIKAEL: Wow! Wow! You canât say that..
ADAM: Youâre not even going to touch her.
ELIAS: He takes my leftovers. One, two, three!
ADAM: âWhich song do I play before fucking?â Mutta! Mutta you should know this.
EVEN: If he has kept his tradition..
ELIAS: One, two, three!
ADAM: What did you write?
EVEN: Birthday sex.
[SINGING TO BIRTHDAY SEX]
[PART TWO
Memory lane & real talk with Even Bech NĂŠsheim]
ELIAS: But are you coming to Sanaâs party?
MUTASIM: When is it?
EVEN: Of course.
MIKAEL: Yeah.
ELIAS: Youâre coming over anyways. But Isak and the boys were really awesome.
ADAM: Yeah, awesome.
EVEN: Yeah, theyâre fucking awesome.
ELIAS: Youâre a very good couple. Very cute together.
EVEN: Thatâs nice.
ELIAS: When did you get together?
EVEN: Like half a year ago or something.
ADAM: Yeah? Awesome. Where did you meet?
EVEN: At Nissen.
ADAM: I talked to him a lot at Evaâs birthday party.
EVEN: Yeah, fuck, that was really nice.
ADAM: Yeah, really nice. Remember when we had our science exam and I had to go to the bathroom?
[Memory lane]
EVEN: It was so fun at Elvebakken.
[Memory lane]
ELIAS: Those were good times.
ADAM: But! I donât miss school. Iâm glad Iâm done with school. Why did you quit, Even? What happened? Why did you quit Elvebakken?
EVEN: Uhm.. No, it was during that period of time where we started losing contact and I just felt like.. Stuff was at the bottom of a hill, if you know what I mean? And I felt like I had to have a new start.
ADAM: Thatâs understandable. We understand
ELIAS: So it wasnât because of us?
EVEN: No, no, no.
ELIAS: Because we heard this rumour going around, and we didnât dare to ask you.
ADAM: It was.. We called and called, but we didnât get an answer. And you donât have to answer, you can answer off camera if thatâs better, but.. We heard that, during that time, after you quit Elvebakken.. That you tried to kill yourself.
EVEN: Mhm. Uhm..
MIKAEL: Itâs probably very difficult to answer.
EVEN: I was sick.
ADAM: Yes.
EVEN: Uhm, I was in a really bad place, but I feel a lot better now.
ADAM: Yeah. Thatâs good.
EVEN: Now I have a good dialy life and..
ADAM: Thatâs great. Thatâs the most important.
EVEN: I have a job and I graduated and itâs chill.
ADAM: Now, itâs only going up.
EVEN: Iâm back with the boys.
ELIAS: Itâs good having you back too.
EVEN: Awesome.
ADAM: Donât get us wrong. Even is an awesome guy.
MUTASIM: Heâs the coolest person Iâve ever met
ELIAS: The coolest! He was the one who taught me all my dance moves
ADAM: What dance moves?
ELIAS: And all the pick up lines!
MUTASIM: Guess who taught me this one! That was this guy.
ADAM: Then youâre a bad student, because heâs so fucking good at that.
ELIAS: Itâs good having you back.
EVEN: Itâs good being here.
ADAM: Yeah, it is. Awesome.
THE GUYS: EVEN! EVEN! EVEN!
ADAM: Three, two, one!
[Everyone dabs]
MIKAEL: You have to be in more videos in the future.
ADAM & ELIAS: Yeah.
EVEN: Yeah, can I?
ELIAS: Of course.
ADAM: yeah, of course.
ELIAS: Now..
ADAM: Yousef, just stay in Turkey, man!
ELIAS: Wait!
EVEN: Yeah, Yousef, if youâre watching, stay in Turkey.
ADAM: Just stay there.
ELIAS: Weâre six people, not five.
EVEN: Weâll buy a bigger sofa.
THE GUYS: Yeah.
ADAM: Bring a sofa back home from Turkey. Itâs probably cheaper.
ELIAS: Okay everyone, thatâs all for today. Should we just say it together? One, two, three.
[EVEN: Did anyone remember to buy mustard and ketchup?
MAGNUS: â
JONAS: Weâre already in Urraparken*. When are you coming?
EVEN: Iâm waiting for him. Weâve bought enough beer, right?
Itâs important!
EVA: For the third time, weâve bought enough beer
MAHDI: bro chill
EVEN: Sorry. I just want his birthday to be perf.
JONAS: Youâre overreacting, he doesnât give a fuck about ketchup
EVEN: Let me overreact. You shouldâve known what he has to keep up with for the rest of the 363 days of the year.
Heâs way too good for me
CHRIS: Thatâs not what I see. I see a boyfriend whoâs more than good enough. Someone who has made a pretty mad boy into a pretty happy boy.
NOORA: Whatâs up with you, Chris?]
ISAK: Hey.
EVEN: Hey!
ISAK: Wow!
EVEN: You can open it yourself.
ISAK: Beer at school? Amazing!
EVEN: Cheers.
ISAK: Cheers.
EVEN: Did you find your film?
ISAK: No, I didnât. I canât find it. I donât know where it is.
EVEN: Itâs on Youtube!
ISAK: Itâs on Youtube? That helps me a lot. There are like ten billion videos there.
EVEN: But if you donât understand the title, you wonât get to see the film.
ISAK: You canât give me a little hint?
EVEN: It starts with G.
ISAK: G? I tried gule gardiner (yellow curtains), but it wasnât that.
EVEN: You werenât that far off.
ISAK: No? Green curtains? Grey curtains? *???*
EVEN: Itâs okay if you are, but I would never write that in the title.
ISAK: What is it then?
EVEN: Iâm not telling.
ISAK: Guuuuh⊠God! Â
EVEN: Yes.
ISAK: God!
EVEN: Yes, the film is called âGodâ. You think so?
ISAK: Good. Iâll check it out later.
EVEN: Do you think I would call a film âGodâ?
ISAK: Yeah, if it was about me.
EVEN: Thatâs so pretentious.
MAN: Get a room, you fags!
ISAK: What? What did he say? What did you say?
MAN: Fucking gross.
ISAK: Fuck! Huh? Do you think you can go around and just do that stuff? Come here! What the fuck? Fucking cunt face! Youâre fucking ugly, you know that? I canât with that stuff. He canât say stuff like that!
EVEN: Look at me.
ISAK: He canât say that ugly stuff.
EVEN: Look at me.
ISAK: Yes! Yes!
EVEN: Itâs fine. Okay? Weâll take it totally chill and weâll go meet our friends and weâll go to the park and drink beer. Okay? Okay? Okay? Shall we leave?
EVA: Canât we think of anything else to give her?
NOORA: Like, giving her a card.. I donât know, canât we perform something? Make a..
EVA: Yes! Something like..
NOORA: Something Moroccan.
EVA: Something youâll remember very well.
NOORA: Yes! But..
[VILDE: Hi Chris, do you have some money I can borrow? Like 1000 kr*? Itâs okay with less too, I promise youâll get it back on the 1st of July, plus the 750* I owe you from beforehand. Thereâs just this top on sale right now that Iâve wanted for a really long time. And I donât want to ask mom because Iâve borrowed a lot from her lately.]
EVA: I donât want to perform, but..
NOORA: It would be fun!
EVA: Nooo.. We can hold a speech!
NOORA: Yes!
EVA: You can write it, right?
NOORA: Yes.
EVA: And then we can..
EMMA: Hi!
EVA: Hi.
EMMA: Are you going to that Eid party at Sanaâs?
EVA: Yes, are you going too?
EMMA: Yes! Or, uhm, Jonas asked if I wanted to come and I was a little stressed because I donât really know anyone else whoâs going, but then I thought about Kosegruppa.. Yay! And then i thought that maybe youâre going.
EVA: Yeah, weâre going. Weâll take care of you.
EMMA: Yeah, good!
EVA: Yeah, we have to take care of each other.
EMMA: See you later.
EVA: Good bye!
EMMA: Bye.
EVA: But okay, speech.
NOORA: Yes.
EVA: What are we going to write?
DR. SKRULLE: Come in.
CHRIS: Hi.
DR SKRULLE: Hi.
CHRIS: Do you have a few minutes?
DR SKRULLE: I have two hours, seventeen minutes and fourteen seconds until Iâm going on summer vacation. Welcome, Christina Berg! Sit down.
CHRIS: How do you know my name?
DR SKRULLE: I know the name of every student in this school. What can I help you with?
CHRIS: Uhmm.. I just have this friend who..
DR SKRULLE: Itâs not just that. There are lots of people who donât have friends. Lots of people who are lonely. Take the retirement homes in Oslo, for example. Theyâre overflowing with old people and think about that.. All of their friends are dead. No one comes to visit and theyâre all by themselves. All those people have, are the memories from a lost time.
CHRIS: Thatâs fucking true! But like.. I havenât thought about that before, but if you get really, really old and all your friend just.. die, then itâs not awesome to live at all.
DR SKRULLE: Not at all. Tell me about your friend.
CHRIS: Yeah.. I have a friend who Iâm pretty worried about. I donât think she has a good home life and I think her mom is pretty depressed, so I feel like I should be a better friend, but Iâm not any good at that stuff and I canât.. I canât talk to her about it, so I was wondering if maybe you could talk to her about it.
DR SKRULLE: Hmm.. You know what I think this sounds like, Christina? I think it sounds like youâre lying. Are you?
CHRIS: No!
DR SKRULLE: Because what it sounds like is âIâm not good at that stuffâ, but I think you are.
CHRIS: Iâm not! Iâm seriously really bad at that stuff! As soon as their is just a little conflict, I just..
DR SKRULLE: Everyone thinks itâs uncomfortable with conflicts! But that doesnât mean you should avoid them! Do you know what, Christina Berg? I think you should be very careful with these âtruthsâ you tell to yourself about yourself. I donât see what youâre describing right now. Do you know what I see? I see a girl whoâs more than enough of a good friend. I see a girl who talks to her friend and I see a girl who LOVES conflict! A bit over the top at the end, but you know what I mean. You know what I want?
JONAS: Once, he forgot to bring his bike so I had to..
EMMA: You had to..?
JONAS: I had to take..
EMMA: You had to take his bike?
JONAS: But Iâll text you.
EMMA: Yeah. We will.
JONAS: Yeah.
EMMA: Where are you going?
JONAS: To the A-building.
EMMA: Okay.
JONAS: And you?
EMMA: To the B-building.
JONAS: Yes.
EMMA: Yes. What is it?
JONAS: Nothing, is there something?
EMMA: You go first, because youâre so embarrassed of me.
JONAS: Iâm not embarrassed of you!
EMMA: Youâre embarrassed of me..
JONAS: No, itâs just.. People.
EMMA: Youâre embarrassed of me..
JONAS: Ahhh, no Iâm not!
SARA: I have like this bad feeling.. I have this nervous, sinking feeling.
MAGNUS: Hey, man.
ISAK: Why?
SARA: Because girls are good at side eyeing.
ISAK: Youâre the best, so youâll win over everyone!
SARA: But think about it, if Iâm invited so they can like fuck with me or something.
ISAK: That wonât happen. She just wants peace, right? Itâs like this.. declaration of peace to invite someone to their Eid celebration.
SARA: Exactly what is an Eid party? What do you do? Is there any alcohol?
ISAK: You can manage one party without alcohol.
SARA: Yeah, I was just asking! Yeah.
ISAK: Yeah, sorry, but I donât think thereâs going to be any alcohol.
SARA: But Iâll be there anyway.
MAGNUS: See you there!
JONAS: Hey, boys.
ISAK: Where have you been?
MAGNUS: Where the fuck have you been?
JONAS: I was at McDonalds.
MAGNUS & MAHDI: McDonalds?
ISAK: Did you sit by yourself at McDonalds?
JONAS: No.. Yes..
ISAK: Alone.
MAGNUS: Totally alone?
JONAS: Is that so..
ISAK: Imagine, him sitting by himself, eating a burger at McDonalds.
JONAS: What the fuck is up with you? Itâs McDonalds.
ISAK: Where did you get money?
MAHDI: Yeah, I was also wondering about that.
JONAS: I borrowed money.
THE GUYS: From who?
JONAS: Julian Dahl.
THE GUYS: Ohhhh!
MAHDI: The ATM!
ISAK: I donât get why you dislike Julian Dahl. Heâs rich!
MAGNUS: Itâs always about money! He doesnât even know Jonas and he can just ask?
ISAK: I saw him go to school in a suit one time, thatâs a bit weird.
MAGNUS: Fucking Julian Dahl.
ISAK: Julian fucking Dahl.
[CHRIS: Hey, this is maybe a bit far out, but you dated Eva once. Iâm crushing a bit on her, but I donât really get her, from one bro to another, do you have any advice? Like what kind of flowers does she like hahaha]
JONAS: Hah! The fuck?
MAGNUS: Whatâs up?
JONAS: Okay, I just got a message.. From Penetrator-Chris!
MAGNUS: Penetrator-Chris? What does he want?
JONAS: Listen.. âHey, this is maybe a bit far outâ.
MAHDI: Yeah, I think so too.
JONAS: âbut you dated Eva onceâ.
MAGNUS: Yeah.
JONAS: âIâm crushing a bit on her, but I donât really get her, from one bro to another,
MAGNUS: Bro?
JONAS: âdo you have any advice? Like what kind of flowers does she like hahahaâ
ISAK: I love that ending.
MAGNUS: Are you bros?
ISAK: Ending the message with âhahahaâ
JONAS: No. Why should I give him advice?
MAGNUS: Why not?
JONAS: Itâs Penetrator-Chris. Heâs not good enough for her.
MAGNUS: I think heâs pretty hot, though.
JONAS: No. Eva is like up here and heâs like..
MAGNUS: Hi!
VILDE: Hey, Mahdi? Weâre buying Sana a gift to show her how much we love her and we donât really know what and I was wondering if there are any Muslim traditions of what to give as a gift on Eid?
MAHDI: Uhm, Iâm Catholic..
VILDE: Oh.. Sorry.
MAHDI: You donât have to apologize.
VILDE: Who should I ask then?
MAGNUS: If you wanna tell Sana how much you love her, tell her in a card! Or what, baby?
MAHDI: Say it in a forum!
MAGNUS: Yeah?
VILDE: Yeah?
MAGNUS: Do that.
JONAS: Hah, forum..
MAHDI: Yeah, yeah..
JONAS: Vilde? Whatâs up with Chris and Eva?
VILDE: I donât know, I think theyâre just sleeping together. Eva is maybe a bit in love with him, but I donât think heâs keen on something more. Bye!
MAGNUS: Bye! Give me a kiss before you leave.
VILDE: Bye.
MAGNUS: Bye, baby. But fuck! With Penetrator-Chris. That was brave of him. Itâs brave to send a text to the ex and ask about flowers.
MAHDI: Yeah, yeah. Do you think itâs like Vilde said or is he serious or just fucking around?
MAGNUS: I actually think it was awesome of him to text you. People change and maybe he has changed! People change! Itâs pretty awesome to text the ex and ask about your girl.
JONAS: I donât really know..
ISAK: It was pretty brave and it seems like heâs serious.
MAHDI: He was talking about flowers!
ISAK: Whoâs the last person you gave flowers to?
MAHDI: My mom.
MAGNUS: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ISAK: You wonât get a lot of flowers from Mahdi, at least. Heâs an alright guy.
MAHDI: But if Eva doesnât like him and he like Eva, just let it pass.
MAGNUS: He has to let it go.
ISAK: Yeah, but heâs not like he seems. Remember when we  had that beeg with Yakuza? All that planning was me and Chris who did and I found he was an alright guy. He was the one who wanted to stand up against the biggest douches in all of Oslo.
MAGNUS: He had your back?
ISAK: Anyways, it turned out he was a really nice guy and..
[JONAS: Fuck flowers, take it down a notch, just ask if she wants to watch Fresh Prince and eat nachos or something.]
ISAK: And we thought âfuck itâ, letâs try to take them [Yakuza] on.
MAGNUS: Were you keen on him?
ISAK: Huh?
MAGNUS: Were you keen on him?
ISAK: No, no, no, but..
MAGNUS: Was he the one who knocked that guy down with the bottle?
ISAK: No, that was William.
MAGNUS: Oh, William. Oof.
MAHDI: Poor guy.
MAGNUS: What happened to the guy after?
ISAK: He deserved it. Heâs the worst cunt in all of Oslo.
MAGNUS: Did he pass out?
ISAK: Almost. I was in the middle of the fight..
MAGNUS: Did YOU fight?
ISAK: Yeah, it was this rich preppy guy from BĂŠrum.
MAGNUS: Who won? Is it fun to have beef?
[JONAS: Hey, sorry for being lame, come with me to a party on Saturday?]
ISAK: They had a plan of beating up everyone in their way, they had to be stopped.
MAGNUS: Thatâs fucked.
ISAK: It was fucked! They best up Jonas!
MAHDI: Thatâs not cool.
MAGNUS: No! They did?
ISAK: Yeah, without any reason! Whatâs up with your William hair?
MAGNUS: This isnât William hair! Iâll show you William hair.
CHRIS: I dreamt that I was at my old elementary school. And we were eating lunch outside, me and Caroline, who was my girlfriend in fourth grade and then you were walking past and I was like âWow, damnâ! And then I walked up to you and I was like âHey, do you wanna date me?â in front of Caroline.
EVA: What did I say?
CHRIS: You said yes, of course.
EVA: Yes? Of course? Okay?
CHRIS: And thatâs supposed to meanâŠ?
EVA: That weâre never going to be together.
CHRIS: Why not?
EVA: Why? Because..
CHRIS: Because?
EVA: Because you.. are..
CHRIS: I am? What am I?
EVA: A cheating fuckboy.
CHRIS: Ouch..
EVA: Hi, Vilde.
VILDE: Hi, what are you doing?
EVA: Nothing in particularâŠ
VILDE: Listen, I wanted to do something nice for Sana at that Eid-celebration, to show her how much we love her.
EVA: Yes! We can do that!
VILDE: So Iâve read a bit about Eid and itâs common to give gifts, but itâs often just to kids and money and stuff, and itâd be a bit weird to give her money. I wanna give her something really special, so do you have any ideas?
EVA: Uhm⊠No, I donât know, but we should probably ask someone for some advice, maybe someone who knows more than us,
VILDE: Yeah, I agree. Weâll ask a Muslim.
EVA: Hey, but listen, maybe Iâll call you up a bit later or something?
VILDE: Okayyy!
EVA: Okayyy, bye! Where were we?
CHRIS: We were talking about if weâre going to get together.
EVA: I donât think so..
CHRIS: You donât? Because I think you may want to.
EVA: Nooo..
CHRIS: You sure?
EVA: Yes, Iâm sure.
CHRIS: Totally sure?
EVA: Yes, very.
MOM: Eva?
EVA: Hide!
CHRIS: Why?
MOM: Hi!
EVA: Hi..
MOM: Oh, Iâm sorry! Uhm..
EVA: Uhm.. I have company.
MOM: Yes.
EVA: Uhm.. This is..
CHRIS: Hey! Chris.
MOM: Hi. Chris.
CHRIS: Is your name also Chris?
MOM: Yeah, no, my name is Anne Marit.
CHRIS: Oh, okay. That makes sense.
MOM: Yes.
EVA: Yes.
MOM: Iâm sorry for just.. I didnât know Eva had a boyfriend.
EVA: Weâre not together.
CHRIS: Yet.
MOM: Yes, but thatâs.. Youâll figure that out.. Okay.
EVA: Oh my God.
CHRIS: Oh, well.
EVA: Why did you stand up?
CHRIS: I had to introduce myself. I was raised well. You have to say hi to people.
EVA: You couldâve introduce yourself another time!
ELIAS: Whatâs up everyone! Welcome back, I hope youâre well. Like I always say, you look good no matter what. Today, like you can tell, weâre in a totally different place. Weâre outside, for the first time in history.
ADAM: Yousef!
YOUSEF: Yes?
ADAM: Why are were here today and not at home?
MIKAEL: Why?
MUTASIM: Itâs because one of the people here, doesnât dare to go to another personâs place because..
ADAM: Explain!
MUTASIM: Something happened at someoneâs elseâs place with someone.
YOUSEF: Mutta is explaining. I thought we have to get tan and stuff because weâre..
MUTASIM: Because weâre sitting in the shade.
YOUSEF: Get some pigment.
MIKAEL: Iâm cold, man. Why am I cold?
ELIAS: What really happened, was that my dear little sister gave him a red card.
MUTASIM: He was rejected.
ELIAS: Judge? Judge?
MIKAEL: Red card.
ELIAS: Ey! Stop, stop! Red card! Tell me the last time one of us got a red card from a girl.
[NEVER]
ELIAS: Never!
ADAM: Youâre a coward! Such a coward! Yes, exactly, youâre a chicken. Relax, chicken.
YOUSEF: Sana is going to see this, man.
ADAM: Yeah, itâll be fine.
MIKAEL: Chill out, Iâll edit it out.
ELIAS: Heâll take care of it!
MIKAEL: Iâll take care of it!
ELIAS: What are we doing today?
ADAM: I thought we could spin a bit, and I have been studying spinners for a week now, so I thought Iâd show you the best way to spin without hurting your fingers, because I hurt my fingers, I like almost broke them or something because I was hitting them [the fidget spinner], right? So now Iâll show you how to do it without hurting yourselves. Iâll show you how to spin.
ELIAS: You got it?
MIKAEL: Yeah, I got it, bro!
ELIAS: My bro! Poor Adam, heâs not allowed to talk. Canât you tell them five tips to get the perfect spin?
ADAM: Okay!
[ADAMâS TOP 5 FOR A PERFECT SPIN]
ADAM: Number one is what not to do, because youâll hurt yourself. Donât hit it.
[DONâT HIT IT]
ADAM: Because it hurts a lot.
[YELLING/TALKING OVER EACH OTHER]
ADAM: A firm grip with your index finger and thumb. Firm.
[FIRM GRIP WITH INDEX FINGER AND THUMB]
ADAM: Keep it secure so you donât lose it.
MUTASIM: Now you try to do it.
ADAM: Thatâs number two. Number three is, you take one of the edges, I have six edges, and no matter how many edged you have. Whether you have two, three or six or whatever, you keep three of your fingers one of them
[THREE FINGERS ON ONE EDGE]
ADAM: Tip number 4 is, twist is as much as possible
[TWIST IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE]
ADAM: Next tip, is just like.. To spin it. Like that.
MUTASIM: Be careful in front of the camera.
MIKAEL: Bro, let me try.
ADAM: One more time.
MUTASIM: That was really fucking cool.
[DONâT HIT IT
FIRM GRIP WITH INDEX FINGER AND THUMB
THREE FINGERS ON ONE EDGE
TWIST IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
SPIN IT]
YOUSEF: Iâm going to Turkey tomorrow, man.
ELIAS: I know that, bro.
YOUSEF: Yeah, you know.
ELIAS: Thatâs why weâre making the video now.
YOUSEF: Arenât you going to eat with us?
ELIAS: [Stutters]
THE GUYS: [Make fun of his stuttering]
MUTASIM: The thing is, weâre fasting and weâre going to break the fast together.
ADAM: Heâs not going to break his fast with food this time, heâs going to break it with something else.
THE GUYS: OooooohhhhâŠ
YOUSEF: Itâs Ramadhan and youâre going to meet a girl?
ELIAS: No.
YOUSEF: Bro.
ELIAS: Itâs Ramadhan, so you have to live, bro.
YOUSEF: Yeah, okay, are you living with girls during Ramadhan, bro?
MIKAEL: Yousef, no one likes you.
ELIAS: Donât think, think.
YOUSEF: Donât think, think - what?
MIKAEL: Turn it off.
ELIAS: Weâre filming bro! Someoneâs calling.
YOUSEF: Itâs Sana.
ELIAS: Yousef, bro, why is she calling you? Tell her hi from me!
MIKAEL: Okay, what the fuck happened now?
ADAM: âSana, please, take me backâ
MIKAEL: âYousef.. Youâre following me and I can tell youâre stalking me on social media. Iâve had enough of youâ
ELIAS: Stop it! Thatâs my sister! What did she say?
MUTASIM: How was it?
YOUSEF: Nothing.
ELIAS: Why did she call? What did she say? Nothing? She was just silent?
YOUSEF: Weâre going out today.
ADAM: Weâre supposed to eat together today!
MUTASIM: Whatâs up with that?
ELIAS: Whatâs up with that? Before Iftar?
YOUSEF: Am I a Muslim, bro? Relax, relax. Iâm going, okay?
ELIAS: Where are you going?
MIKAEL: If you leave now, youâll never see us again.
MUTASIM: IF YOU LEAVE NOW, YOUâLL NEVER SEE US AGAIN!
ELIAS: Bro, weâre supposed to clean up together! Wallah! I swear, Iâll break your arm! Weâre supposed to clean up! I did it last time!
MUTASIM: Did we just get a red card? We just got a red card, boys.
[CHRIS: Iâm finished and right by your place, should I drop by so I can buy you some beer?
VILDE: Just wait downstairs and Iâll be right there
CHRIS: Okiedokie]
HĂ KON: Hi.
VILDE: Hi!
HĂ KON: My name is HĂ„kon and Iâm the new chairman of the apartment complex.
VILDE: Hi!
HĂ KON: Hi. Is your mom home?
VILDE: No, unfortunately, sheâs not. Can I help you with something?
HĂ KON: Yes, Iâm just saying hi to the neighbors and your mom hasnât paid the fees, so I was just wondering if she has been notified?
VILDE: Oh! She probably just forgot! She works a lot, but Iâll tell her.
HĂ KON: Yes. You can?
VILDE: Yes!
HĂ KON: Thatâs it. Bye.
VILDE: Bye!
[SANA: Dear Vilde. I donât think Iâve told you, but I just wanted to say that I admire you so much for being so strong. No matter what happens, you never give up, you keep on going. Youâre the first person I would bring with me to war, and I love you so much. Iâm inviting you to an Eid party at my place on Saturday. Eid is a holiday that marks the end of Ramadhan. Saturday is the last day of Ramadhan and Iâd like to break the fast with all the people I love. Lots of food, a chill atmosphere and only good people. Iâll be so happy if you come. Sana]
VILDE: Mamma? I'm going out.
MOM: Who was it that buzzed?
VILDE: It was someone collecting signatures.
MOM: Oh, well then....
VILDE: Sorry, I lost track of time!
CHRIS: No worries.
VILDE: My mom and I got carried away chatting. Should we get out of here?
SANA: Please accept my fast, even though Iâve behaved badly. Please watch over Eva and Vilde and Noora, Chris. Please watch over Isak and Even and Elias and Yousef.
[VILDE: Hi, are you ready to meet up?
EVA: Sana! Chris and I will pick you up with the van in 20 minutes.
SANA: Ok cool
SANA: I regret cancelling the date with Yousef
NOORA: YEEES! Call him! Go!
EVA: Do it girl!! Life is NOW!!
SANA: According to Islam, life is after death. Which is one of the reasons why I should stay away from him
CHRIS: According to me, the abdomen is dead after death. Which is one of the reasons why you should meet him!!
VILDE: Yousef! Yousef! Yousef!
SANA: Hahaha I get why mom is worried that I donât have any Muslim friends
NOORA: Hello! OK!! I can argue from an Islamic perspective
SANA: Now Iâm intrigued
NOORA: Ok, doesnât Islam believe in destiny?
SANA: Yes.
NOORA: So if you believe in destiny, and you believe Allah is almighty, there has to be a reason why Yousef became a part of your life? Itâs not necessarily because you should be together, maybe itâs something else, but you wonât find out if you avoid him?!?!?!
CHRIS: Wow that shit is deep
SANA: Youâre right
NOORA: Oh yeah bitches, I got a 6* in religion
VILDE: But Noora itâs because theyâre going to be together
NOORA: Okay, theyâre going to be together
SANA: Thanks]
YOUSEF: Hey!
SANA: Hi.
YOUSEF: Hey.
SANA: I was just wondering what youâre doing right now.
YOUSEF: Nothing in particular.
SANA: I was just wondering if you still wanted to meet up?
YOUSEF: Uhm.. Sorry, uhm. Iâve made other plans.
SANA: Oh. Okay. Oh my God, I understand.
YOUSEF: Iâm kidding! Of course we can meet up. When do you want to meet up? Where? Iâll meet you wherever youâd like.
[Talking while Cezinando - Vi er perfekt, men verden er ikke det plays]
YOUSEF: Arenât you? Ouch! I got it in my eye. AHHH! Why didnât you tell me? That sucks! Sana, why didnât you tell me? It couldâve bit my finger, you know. Iâm so scared! Iâm terrified of those. It was just suddenty there. Hey, buddy. Iâm actually really scared right now.
[Bantering about the water]
YOUSEF: Oh look, thereâs a spider here, Sana!
SANA: Where?
YOUSEF: Okay, Iâm gonna see if you trust me. Just stand here. Iâm gonna see if you trust me.
SANA: What?
YOUSEF: Iâm waiting. Oh, itâs wet.
SANA: If I trust you?
YOUSEF: Yeah, come on. Stand there,
SANA: Why should I stand there?
YOUSEF: Itâs a test of whether you trust me or not. Donât you trust me?
SANA: Donât move! Iâm standing here! Look!
YOUSEF: Listen. This is an even better game. Iâm gonna be like this and youâll stand there for at least 10 seconds. Come on.
SANA: You..!
YOUSEF: Yes! Iâll count out loud. I promise, Iâll count out loud. Stand there! Youâre looking at me now! Come on.
SANA: Then you also have to..
YOUSEF:Yeah, okay. We can stand together.
SANA: Yes.
YOUSEF: Look. Iâm standing here. I dared to. Come on.
SANA: Yes.
YOUSEF: Iâm not doing anything. Thereâs no stress. Now itâs your turn. Itâs about trust.
SANA: I have (???)
YOUSEF: Iâm standing here!
SANA: I can tell youâre standing there! Okay, fine.
YOUSEF: Yeah, 10 seconds.
SANA: OnetwothreefourfivesixseveneightninetenâŠ. Look! I trust you!
YOUSEF: Youâre supposed to stand here!
SANA: Donât you trust me?
YOUSEF: I do. Come on. Press it. Press it! Come on! What are you gonna do? Youâre bad. It doesnât help.
YOUSEF: That was a sick remix, wasnât it? Thatâs enough, Sana. Was it good?
SANA: Really good.
YOUSEF: Are you hungry?
SANA: Yeah, Iâm super hungry. I think we have to go and buy some food.
YOUSEF: Donât you think I brought food?
SANA: You brought food?
YOUSEF: Of course I brought food. Iâm not going on a date with a girl whoâs been fasting for 19 hours without bringing food. Donât make me throw you into the water! Seriously! Of course I brought food. Iâm Yousef.
SANA: Awww..
YOUSEF: Donât âawwwwâ me. I get really awkward, seriously. I canât even look at you now.
SANA: Thatâs what the backpack is for!
YOUSEF: Yes.
SANA: Mmmm..
YOUSEF: Right?
SANA: Did you make this?
YOUSEF: No. I wish it was me, but itâs not. It was my mom.
SANA: Whatâs in this?
YOUSEF: Itâs a secret recipe. Not really. Mom made it. Itâs this amazing recipe. I think itâs too advanced for you.
SANA: Why?
YOUSEF: Because the recipe says you have to be able to peel carrots the right way. I donât think youâre the right person for that.
SANA: Okay. It was really nice of you to bring soup, though.
YOUSEF: See? I can be a good person even though Iâm not fasting.
SANA: I havenât been a good person during this fast.
YOUSEF: No?
SANA: Iâve behaved really shitty.
YOUSEF: Thereâs still a week left of Ramadhan, though. You can spend this week making up for it.
SANA: True. I was actually bullied in middle school. So every time I experience something like that, I just.. I donât know. Black out. But Iâm.. Iâm trying to think that people donât have prejudices against Islam. Itâs pretty difficult. Itâs.. Even you think that religion splits society.
YOUSEF: To be completely honest, I think society would be split even if religion didnât exist.
SANA: You think so?
YOUSEF: Yes. For example, when you get into a revue party.. The first thing you look for is the people you know, so you wonât be there on your own. And I think the whole world is like that.
SANA: You think of the whole world as a big revue party?
YOUSEF: Yes. On one side, there are the gangsters from the âSound and Equipmentâ group who talk shit about the preps form the âPRâ group on the other side of the room. And everyone agree that their group is the best and that their pre-parties are the best.
SANA: Okay.
YOUSEF: But in reality, everyoneâs the same. Everyone thinks theyâre the good guys, but in reality, thereâs no such thing as good and evil. There are just lots of people trying to stand together in groups, to not be alone.
SANA: So youâre saying that.. All people are the same?
YOUSEF: Yes.
SANA: Scientifically, people are totally different.
YOUSEF: Maybe thatâs why society needs religion. Democracy isnât built on the idea that everyoneâs different. Itâs built on the idea that all people are worth the same. And that idea doesnât stem from science. But I donât know if it helps to walk around and pretend that there are no prejudices. What you have to do is show what Islam is.
SANA: Youâre actually a Muslim. You just say youâre not.
YOUSEF: Unfortunately, Iâm not.
SANA: But how can you be entirely sure that you donât believe in God?
YOUSEF: I donât feel what you feel.
SANA: But I donât feel like that all the time. I doubt sometimes.
YOUSEF: But you believe in God.
SANA: How can you know that for sure?
YOUSEF: No, I donât know. But should I tell you something awesome? Did you know that inside the heads of cockroaches, there are nine different amino acids, that are stronger than the medicine we have today?
SANA: Amino acids?
YOUSEF: Yes? Isnât that what the fuck itâs called? Amino acids?
SANA: Antibiotic molecules.
YOUSEF: Wow. Wow. Really? Like, okay, great. I tried to save religion and youâre spending your time dissing me? You got my point. Do you believe all this is random? Yes or no?
SANA: No.
YOUSEF: No. Exactly. But if you ever stop believing in God, youâre welcome to my religion. The big revue party religion.
SANA: I donât really know. Is it okay to marry non-religious people in your religion?
YOUSEF: Yeah, thatâs totally chill.
SANA: I wish it was chill in my religion too.
YOUSEF: Why? Are you going to marry a non-religious man?
SANA: Yeah, maybe.
YOUSEF: Who?
SANA: Stephen Curry.
YOUSEF: Wow.Big man.
SANA: Weâre going to make a basketball team together.
YOUSEF: You are? Six kids then, maybe?
SANA: Yeah.
YOUSEF: Okay.
SANA: So when are you leaving tomorrow?
YOUSEF: Tomorrow morning. But Iâll be back. When youâre over Stephen Curry.
SANA: Yes, it suits her very well. And there sheâs also wearing red lipstick.. This is at school..
MOM: Sheâs a very pretty girl.
SANA: Sheâs very pretty.
MOM: Yes.
SANA: And this is Chris!
MOM: She looks like lots of fun.
SANA: Yes, sheâs very cool.
MOM: Why donât you invite them here? Wow!
SANA: Thatâs a picture of Vilde and Eva.
[YOUSEF: Of course I want to hang out with you! What about Friday? Iâm leaving on Saturday.]
[Yousef Acar accepted your friend request]
SANA: Aaaand⊠This is a picture of Noora.
MOM: What are those sunglasses?
SANA: Itâs just this halloween party. Because we were.. We had dressed up and stuff.
MOM: Nice pictures!
SANA: I like Yousef. And.. Heâs not a Muslim.
MOM: And now youâre going to hang out?
SANA: I know.. I know that Islam says I canât marry him, but I just.. I donât understand that because Yousef is a very good person.
MOM: Youâre just seventeen years old. Youâre not getting married yet.
SANA: No, but what about three years from now? If I still like Yousef - why canât I marry him?
MOM: When youâre that young, you think crushes and love are the same thing. Crushes pass, but love and a marriage last for your whole life. Itâs almost like a cooperation, where you give all the love inside of you to that cooperation. Itâs also about having someone by your side your whole life, no matter what happens. And I think youâll get a bit lonely in that relationship if youâre the only one who believes, because your faith is so strong. Because there are always times in your life where you doubt everything, even Allah and then.. I think itâs important that you have someone by your side who reminds you why youâre a Muslim and who understand what you believe in. Do you understand? Itâll be fine.
MOM [ON THE PHONE]: Hello.
[YOUSEF: Of course I want to hang out with you! What about Friday? Iâm leaving on Saturday.]
[SANA: Oh are you leaving this Saturday? I canât this week.
SANA: I hope you have the worldâs best summer]
[CHRIS: Yo girls. What about test driving the van this Friday? I know itâs not Russ Time 2018 yet, but a little trip has to be fine?
CHRIS: I donât think you should be worried. Iâm sure itâs fine.
VILDE: Yeah.
CHRIS: Yeah.
VILDE: I just have a bad feeling in my tummy.
CHRIS: Whatâs that supposed to mean?
VILDE: No, I think thereâs something wrong.
CHRIS: Something wrong? How do you know?
SANA: Hey, should we contact the police?
VILDE: What if he has killed her?
SANA: He hasnât killed her.
VILDE: We canât know that for sure. He has shown violent tendencies in his past and his brother is a psychopath. We donât know if William is or not - those things are genetic.
CHRIS: Oh my God.. Theyâre fucking! Stop nagging!
SANA: For four days?
CHRIS: Yeah!
SANA: Without making a sound?
CHRIS: Well I donât know, I havenât heard them.
MAGNUS: Hey. Fucking hell, Williamâs car is so cheesy.
CHRIS: Shocking! Sheâs alive.
SANA: Hi.
NOORA: Hi!
WILLIAM: Hey.
NOORA: William? I have to leave.
NOORA: Itâs.. Itâs just like.. Okay. Because I feel like weâve.. Just talked about everything. That.. That we just.. He just opened up completely. Do you understand? I donât know what I was doing before, but I understand how he thinks now. Sana Bakkoush, this is the best thing youâve done. Thank you. But hey! Oh my God, how did it go with Yousef?
SANA: I donât know.
NOORA: But you talked, right?
SANA: I.. Yes, or.. I tried talking to him, but.. Heâs going to Turkey and heâs staying all summer and heâs not a Muslim and..
NOORA: But you have to talk to him! Just talk to him before he leaves. Just send him a text. Now!
SANA: I donât have his number.
NOORA: Then write to him on Facebook.
SANA: Weâre not friends on Facebook.
NOORA: But oh my God, Sana! Add him then! Now! Seriously, come on. Yes and then you write: âDo you want to hang out with me?â Sana! I swear Iâll log onto your account and write it myself and hit send. Iâm not kidding, you know that.
SANA: Okay.
NOORA: Yeeeeah! Good!
SANA: Oh my God.
NOORA: That wasnât so hard, was it? You know what, now life is smiling. Now we can do anything we want. And I suggest that we skip. You in?
SANA: Yeah, but I already think we are. Class started a long time ago.
NOORA: Is it true? Oh my God. Yeah, well, then thatâs it. I thought it be a bit more difficult.
SANA: Yes.
NOORA: But it feels very natural.
SANA: Maybe because weâve been good all year.
NOORA: Yes!
SANA: Summer vacation starts soon.
NOORA: Yes, now weâll just go and hide, wait for the summer and wait for the summer.
SANA: What if he doesnât answer?
NOORA: No! Everything is falling into place now, Sana.
