1
00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:06,880
<i>it's Christmas, so what?

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,720
<i>who is happy and why?

3
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:12,000
<i>does skiing make you happy?

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,640
<i>Christmas is as good as it gets

5
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,460
<i>snow and sleet, and sip and slush

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,620
<i>so we look forward till it is over

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,180
<i>everything goes down the
hill at breakneck speed

8
00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:28,320
<i>and soon the Christmas pixie
is starting to die out, so march

9
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:30,200
<i>it's pure therapy

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,140
<i>it's mass hysteria

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,660
<i>we are so sad to mention it, but...

12
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:39,280
<i>now it's Christmas in the treadmill again

13
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:42,140
<i>it's Christmas, X-M-A-S

14
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:43,940
<i>God, how commercial it is

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,100
<i>soon, the air will
be filled with fraud and trickery

16
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:51,900
<i>Christmas is, as you know,
always is an inconvenience

17
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:55,280
<i>because it sets the most
extreme demands,

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,100
<i>but in a time when no one
really knows what they want

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,580
<i>it is the last straw we can cling to

20
00:01:03,739 --> 00:01:07,480
<i>has it first gotten through your
joyous child-like mind,

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,920
<i> you'll be mindlessly
joyously sick,

22
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:14,400
<i>then it's Christmas in the treadmill yet again.</i>

23
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:18,400
CHRISTMAS IN THE OLD THREADMILL.

24
00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:22,920
Flemming, hurry. Wake up.

25
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:25,760
- I have changed my mind.
- Well, well.

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,340
- I have regretted.
- What?

27
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:32,960
Everything.
I have had a dream, a vision, a revelation.

28
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:35,120
Berit, if it's about starting a new life,

29
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:36,840
can't it wait until
after the Christmas holidays?

30
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:40,340
Suddenly, to my inner gaze, I
saw the two of us together alone.

31
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:44,800
No, fucking drunk and on shalom skis,
on way down some deadly-sick French mountain.

32
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:47,800
Berit, I don't want to
hear any more about it.

33
00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:50,400
No, Flemming.
On the sofa, on Christmas Eve,

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,400
surrounded by crunches and nuts,

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,040
and decorations and greens,

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,180
and crispy rinds and brown sauce,
and with our children on my lap.

37
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:01,380
Our children?

38
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:02,520
Yes, yes, you know those...

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Kim and Louise, at approximately
seven and nine years old.

40
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:08,639
Oh, what a pity they have disappeared.

41
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:10,240
Oh, but my God, if they're not at that
daycare home,

42
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:12,550
they're probably somewhere else.
Now think about it.

43
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:15,740
Weren't you the one
who handed them in last?

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,900
Yes, but I just can't remember where.

45
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:20,500
I mean I drove them to badminton in April,

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,800
and then they went to camp school.

47
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:27,600
It is also too bad that they are
never here when you need them.

48
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:31,320
Isn't there something about
them coming home when they get hungry?

49
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,740
Oh, why should they do that?
There is never a crumb in the house.

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,900
What are you doing now?

51
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:39,040
I write lists.

52
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,060
Yes, Flemming, lists.

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,300
Our descendants,
must not remember, their childhood

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,800
home as cold and indifferent
and devoid of brown cakes.

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,080
We are not allowed to hinder them in their

56
00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:53,120
upbringing and deprive them of one of the most

57
00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:56,220
beautiful and warmest events
in the history of culture.

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Berit, does that mean

59
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,900
we will have
roast pork and all that?

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,700
- Yes.
- Oh no, it's almost unbearable.

61
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,320
Oh, Flemming, together we can do it.

62
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,520
Remember, as parents
we have a responsibility.

63
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:14,620
- We do?
- Yes.

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,240
Oh, I can almost see it all.

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Just except how we can afford it.

66
00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:24,460
Well, it could be that the postman
suddenly turns up with something unexpected.

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,800
Congratulations, congratulations.

68
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,960
Yes, then Christmas should
have been saved after all.

69
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:33,480
Here you go.
A sack from Sudan.

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,560
- From Sudan?
- Yes, it's your old tuxedo.

71
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:39,080
They couldn't use it down there.
The thing with the sway in the pants.

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,600
It doesn't work these days.

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680
They are not that far behind either.

74
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,620
Well, okay, I have more for you.

75
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,400
Look here, I have them here.

76
00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:50,440
Your tax returns from the last ten years.

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Which I accidentally put in
the sack

78
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:56,420
by mistake on Saturday, the 16th.

79
00:03:56,740 --> 00:04:00,680
And which has now been approved
by the administration down there.

80
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:03,640
Does this mean that my
entire finances are saved?

81
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:05,900
For reasons, which is
too farfetched to go into here?

82
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:07,860
Yes, yes, you can see for yourself here.

83
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:11,900
You have been deleted from
the register of bad payers.

84
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,320
You can see your name is there.
Right under the Minister of Finance.

85
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:16,640
Oh, Flemming.

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,220
Then this whole damn chain of
devilish intrigue and misunderstandings

87
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:25,080
and unfortunate circumstances which
almost had disastrous consequences.

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,520
There's finally an end.

89
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:30,060
Yes, yes, now you have to look here.
Then I even have two letters to you.

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,500
But I think you should wait
to open them until tonight.

91
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:34,940
And then you might
be in for a surprise.

92
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:37,940
Well, Merry Christmas, or whatever it'll be.

93
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,600
<i>are you friendly with the birds of the sky.</i>

94
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:47,880
Oh, now this uncertainty is finally over.

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,000
Oh, now it's going to be Christmas,
Christmas, so it's blasting off.

96
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:53,820
Do you now also think that
those children will come home?

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,700
I know it.
Oh, such a thing a mother knows.

98
00:04:58,260 --> 00:04:59,900
A mother?

99
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:04,020
Yeah, you know, the kind of warn and lush

100
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:06,080
one with red cheeks and bright eyes

101
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:07,420
who plays the piano and bake buns, right?

102
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,940
Now the two of us are
going to the supermarket.

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,440
Cost what it will.

104
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:14,420
Yes, Berit.
We do it.

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,620
Maybe, maybe there is sold-out,
maybe we get trampled,

106
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:18,860
but we will complete it.

107
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,400
If it will be the last thing we do.

108
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:22,980
Now fully and completely calm.
No panic.

109
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:26,920
Now we have to be cold-blooded
and not let it run amok with us.

110
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:30,480
Now you have to see.
I have a plan of the area here.

111
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,740
Flemming, that is.

112
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,120
And then I would like a
white Toyota Corolla with

113
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:40,720
a hatchback and central
locking and rear bumper.

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,700
Well, Berit, we have to
discuss it with those presents.

115
00:05:44,780 --> 00:05:46,000
Only for the kids.

116
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:48,980
We must always keep in mind that we are only
here for the sake of the children.

117
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,260
Understood?

118
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:53,480
No, how adorable it is.
Good day.

119
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,720
I would like one like that.

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,820
Well, who couldn't?

121
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,580
It's Barbie's divorce attorney Gordon.

122
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:03,640
Notice the big brown eyes.

123
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:04,940
It can do everything.

124
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Well, here we have you.

125
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:09,920
We have simply been so worried about you.

126
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,700
Yes, yes, because you hear so much about accidents

127
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:17,600
and foreclosures and ski
holidays and all that sort of thing.

128
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:20,640
Well, well, what kind of Christmas
are we going to have this year?

129
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:24,120
Should it be the standard edition,
or should we go for the luxury

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,640
model, the one with red ribbons
and prunes and the whole mess?

131
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,700
I would suggest that, we
do that ourselves this year.

132
00:06:29,780 --> 00:06:32,540
I think we'll just take a trip on our own.
Right, Flemming?

133
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:35,100
You must be welcome.
But be careful.

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,660
The Lord works in mysterious ways.

135
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:40,180
But once you've seen the light, you have

136
00:06:40,460 --> 00:06:42,700
to go to the right, down by the red beets.

137
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,040
And then you just have to follow your heart,
love your next,

138
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,720
and remember that we are closed
on Tuesday and Wednesday.

139
00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:51,400
And then go out and
show what you can do.

140
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:54,040
We must not have so much as a gram more

141
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,860
than what is written on our note.
Right Flemming?

142
00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:58,980
Come on.
Not as much as a gram.

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,740
All your goods...

144
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
There, now no more will be bought, Flemming.

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Yes, I'm stubborn there, you.

146
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080
No, geez.

147
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,540
Berit, how are we
going to fit all of this?

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,900
I thought we should
stick to the sensible plan?

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Oh, Flemming.

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,420
Christmas has nothing to do with reason.

151
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,840
It is a passion.

152
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,860
It is something that
that is stronger than us.

153
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Something you're not the master of.

154
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:36,300
And now, now I want to bake.

155
00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:42,940
I just slap a little dough
together and stir it around

156
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:45,920
in a ruff, and then I dump them
right out on the plate.

157
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:48,140
Such little men.

158
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:51,380
And then I knock them into the oven.

159
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Then, and then I just wait until it smell

160
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,820
brown and crisp,
and then I rip them out again.

161
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:04,700
So, and then they just
have to have a little glaze. There.

162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,740
There must always be a few
cake men in the house, then

163
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:12,100
they just need to have some eyes.

164
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:17,540
Some big, brown eyes.

165
00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:21,580
Then, I think I'll pop
some of these lozenges.

166
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,420
Oh, God no, Flemming.

167
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:28,920
I don't think I can pull it off.

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320
These are French lentils.

169
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:34,960
Oh, these memories.

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Calm down, we mustn't give up.

171
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:42,480
After all, the children can
be here at any moment.

172
00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:45,180
After all, they have to be cut and paste.

173
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,540
There is always so much paperwork.

174
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Well, never mind, as long as we don't
suddenly get a visit from Sysser and Kurt.

175
00:08:52,180 --> 00:08:54,140
- "I WEAVE HEARTS."
- Hello, Sysse and Kurt.

176
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:58,420
God, here you are, yes.

177
00:08:58,860 --> 00:09:03,700
I just went in somewhere, a random
dead sick place,

178
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,640
because we thought that there must be someone at home.

179
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:09,800
- Isn't that right, Kurt?
- Yes, we thought so.

180
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,440
No, what kind of decoration,
have you seen how splendid, Sysser-mouse?

181
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:18,000
It's completely corny
with that decoration here.

182
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,740
Oh yes, good thing we don't
have to celebrate Christmas.

183
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:25,500
Yeah, whoa, that must be hideous.

184
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:27,760
And then those children.

185
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,560
No, how burdensome it must be.

186
00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:34,980
Yes, I could get
all the children I point at.

187
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,420
Yes, yes, but 6-8 square meters will go each time.

188
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,200
So we don't want that,
do we, Sysser Mouse?

189
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:45,740
Yes, nah, nah...

190
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:50,520
Oh yes, yes, God, sweet Berit.

191
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,760
You wouldn't bother tinkering with this

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,680
delicate Hawaiian flower
for a week, would you?

193
00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:03,660
While Kurt and I get a little closer to

194
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,600
each other in Val d'Isère.

195
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,180
Yes, because you are such a homebody.

196
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,540
Ugh, ugh.

197
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,340
Oh.

198
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,440
No, phew.
Oh.

199
00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:18,160
No, but oh my god.

200
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,500
No, no, ugh, no.

201
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,180
No, Kurt, no.

202
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,780
I can't do that.

203
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Do you want?

204
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:32,280
- It's homemade.
- Is it homemade?

205
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:38,520
No, now we really have to run,
don't we, Sysser Mouse?

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,660
We really need to get home
and laugh together now.

207
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,440
We have so much to laugh about.

208
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,200
No, God, Kurt, have you seen here?

209
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:53,240
No, look, they haven't even
had time to open their mail.

210
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:57,380
Oh, yes, yes, yes.

211
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,900
Sysser Mouse.

212
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,280
Suddenly it all just
seems so insurmountable.

213
00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:07,300
You are also doing it completely wrong.

214
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:12,900
That one has to go down
there, and then you have to have fun.

215
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,340
- I do that too.
- Not enough.

216
00:11:16,820 --> 00:11:19,500
It is completely too much to do everything yourself.

217
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,820
Then do something.

218
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:25,500
Then go out and cut down a
Christmas tree, or build a snowman.

219
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:27,280
Why are you just sitting there?

220
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Run down to the gas station
and buy some powdered sugar.

221
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:40,360
There, Berit, now we sit down and learn
some of the rules for all these games.

222
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,440
And practice and read
aloud to the children

223
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,000
and find out that we have to do

224
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,220
together with them in
the long, long free time.

225
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:51,180
Maybe we could go to a
Zoological Garden or something.

226
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:56,260
Then we will rip open this
exciting Christmas letter.

227
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,900
Can't you feel that it
already helps on the mood?

228
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,240
God, Fleming, it's from the kids.

229
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000
Is it from the kids?

230
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,020
Yes, you know, those Kim and
Louise, aged seven and nine respectively.

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,110
No, what do they write?

232
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,940
They write that they live at
a boarding school in Japan.

233
00:12:15,740 --> 00:12:17,980
At a boarding school in Japan?

234
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:22,220
Yes, it says that they learn everything
according to the Suzuki method.

235
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,820
- What is it all about?
- Whoever finishes first gets a motorcycle.

236
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:29,160
And Fleming, they'll be
over there all Christmas.

237
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,280
Oh, Berit, it still gives
a stab in one's old registered

238
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,960
accountant heart when
they fly from the nest at that age.

239
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,140
Imagine, they have become Japanese.

240
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:43,760
Efficient and without leisure.

241
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:47,180
Everything that the rest of
us have always dreamed of.

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120
Does that mean I have to sit there

243
00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:52,720
with you an entire Christmas?

244
00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:57,920
Without contact with any
warm and living beings.

245
00:12:58,220 --> 00:13:01,420
While others enjoy themselves
in front of a chimney in Val d'Isère?

246
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:03,580
Well, yes, but you
have to learn to prioritize.

247
00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:05,960
And now the public sector has
confiscated those tickets

248
00:13:05,970 --> 00:13:07,200
because we didn't pay for our daycare home.

249
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,360
And even if the children don't attend it
anymore, it is far from certain...

250
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,400
Oh God, no!

251
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,400
"FROM THE PUBLIC SECTOR."

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,700
Voilá!

253
00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:25,370
We are hereby returning two
pieces of ski holiday tickets.

254
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:27,450
Oh, Flemming!

255
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:29,990
Shouldn't we just throw them away?

256
00:13:30,570 --> 00:13:33,010
No, we're leaving.
Cost what it will!

257
00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:35,650
There's no reason to sit here and

258
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:37,370
fidget when the kids aren't home anyway.

259
00:13:37,370 --> 00:13:39,130
Well, we can easily fidget alone.

260
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:40,950
And what about all the food?

261
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:42,850
Yes, it's going in the freezer.

262
00:13:42,910 --> 00:13:44,990
It might be we're coming
home for next year, right?

263
00:13:46,030 --> 00:13:48,430
Um, Fleming, pull yourself together.

264
00:13:48,810 --> 00:13:50,990
Well, everyone needs to go on
skiing holiday once in a while.

265
00:13:51,010 --> 00:13:52,210
It is something you have to go through.

266
00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:54,530
Now try to look here in the leaflet, right?

267
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:56,150
They are all smiling.

268
00:13:56,630 --> 00:13:57,890
Don't you think it's a trick photo?

269
00:13:58,330 --> 00:14:00,790
It's guaranteed a broken femurs,
the lot of them.

270
00:14:01,350 --> 00:14:02,930
Oh Berit, why can't we just stay home?

271
00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:04,450
I had been looking forward so much.

272
00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:05,810
Yes, so had I.

273
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:07,830
This is too much, this.

274
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:10,670
Flemming, I think fate
had a hand in it.

275
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:13,770
I think it is a the higher power's
will that we two

276
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:16,670
should be subjected to all these inhuman trials.

277
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:20,430
Flemming, we must bury our

278
00:14:20,530 --> 00:14:23,490
dead and continue the fight.

279
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:26,770
Well, you needed that tux, after all.

280
00:14:27,890 --> 00:14:31,290
Yes, it didn't become Christmas after all.

281
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:35,810
We had hoped till the
end, but it was not to be.

282
00:14:37,070 --> 00:14:39,930
Who knows what awaits us in Val d'Isère?

283
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:45,410
Maybe we will be happy, some of us.
Maybe we will be ruined.

284
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:47,150
Maybe we just catch a cold.
I don't know.

285
00:14:47,950 --> 00:14:49,570
But one thing is certain.

286
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:54,530
We won't get any crispy rinds, or
rice a la almond, or marzipan bread.

287
00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:58,410
Or lit candles, or Christmas tree,

288
00:14:58,710 --> 00:15:00,210
or homely coziness.

289
00:15:01,630 --> 00:15:04,590
In short, it will be hell.

290
00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:08,950
But we all have to go that way.

291
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:14,690
And with these words, I
declare the freezer closed.

292
00:15:19,290 --> 00:15:24,690
