CALL ME DAD
Doctor Kjærgaard?
EMIL BØGH
Excuse me? What are you doing here?
I have an appointment with
doctor Kjærgaard.
But he's not coming. He died.
He died?
I found him a couple of days ago
on the examination couch.
It was horrible.
-But you can't be in here.
-Of course.
These are the results of some tests
that I'd really like to see.
I'll be sacked
if anything goes missing.
I understand.
But I also think you'd understand
if I told you what I've been through
in order to get these results.
-I can't let you do it.
-Can I please just take a peek?
-Please?
-I must ask you to leave.
-And I must read this.
-Then I'll have to call my boss.
Helle gets my heart in a knot
she's just amazingly hot
Shall I turn it up?
Yes. Give it full throttle.
-I told the neighbours.
-Hi!
-Hello!

Viktor hasn't sat down in two days.
That's true. Hi, Carla.

We've paid for her schooling
for the next five years.

-How considerate.
-Grace. Thanks. Lovely present.
-Did you bring the skewers?
-Yes, they're in my bag.
Perfect. Thanks, Carla.
Grace will get the place of honour
on my gift table.
-Big day, right?
-Yes.
-I'm a bit nervous.
-Okay. Why?
It's a bit overwhelming.

-Oh my God!
So we need to get the barbecue
going. It's over here, Emil.
Sure, I'll do that.

-Thanks.
-What's this? It looks delicious.
-Root vegetables.
-Root vegetables?
-Believe it or not. Try one.
-What do you think?
-I think I need a beer.
Thank you for having us, then we
don't have to eat Vibs' cooking.
-That's not funny.
-Yes it is.
There's lots of food.
This is delicious!
The marinade
Emil? Emil, do you have a moment?
I think you're handling
it incredibly well. All this
You must find this whole thing with
your mum and Viktor awkward.
I definitely had to get used
to the idea.
-Yes.
-But
But I can see how much
they care for each other.
And love is love.
You can't really change that.
No. But why Helle of all people?
-I don't know.
-There are so many lovely girls.
I wonder if I did something wrong.
-Don't think that.
-No.
Viktor should be ashamed of himself.
He really should.
I..
I've been looking forward to having
grandchildren. Remember Karin?
-Yes.
-She has three.
-Does she indeed?
-Three!
It's all she talks about.
"Grandchildren, grandchildren."
You know what?
I don't know what to say to her.
Now it all comes pouring out.
Sorry, Emil. It's all too much.
It's just because I don't think
I'll ever have grandchildren.
I used that for the chicken.
I won't use the bits with chicken.
There's someone I especially
want to give thanks to.
Viktor, I love you.
Come and give me a big kiss!
I love you.
He's lovely!
-Emil!
-Yes.
I'd like a Bailey's.
-Don't have any more to drink.
-Calm down.
-We're leaving soon.
-Calm down. No cheating.
-No, I won't short-change you.
-No cheating.
Let me have one too, please.
No, you shouldn't be thirsty.
You're so Sit down.
It's so nice to talk to you, Emil.
You're so sweet.
Your girlfriend is sweet.
Did you know?
-No.
-Right there.
She's absolutely charming. Hi!
Cheers! Hi.
-Hi, sweetie.
-Hi, sweetie.
She's lovely.
-Holy cow, you're having fun, eh?
-We are.
Some more than others.
But we're leaving soon.
We're not.
We're drinking to the fact
that Viktor's girlfriend is 50.
Don't make a scene, mum.
I'm not making a scene. I'm just
having fun. We're all having fun.
Remove your arm.
He's uncomfortable.
-He's not uncomfortable. He's not.
-Move it.
-I'm not uncomfortable.
-Behave yourself!
-Is everyone okay over here?
-Yes.
Everyone is hunky-dory, Helle.
Viktor's just upset with his mummy.
-Dad, will you?
-Vibs, we're going home.
I would really like to propose
a toast to my daughter-in-law.
-Is that allowed, Viktor?
-Of course.
-Shut up.
-Pour one for your mum.
Yes! Sorry.
A bit more.
Cheers, Helle.
Come on. Hand it over.
-Cheers.
-Thanks, Vibs.
You want to be with my son,
but you won't clink glasses with me.
I'm happy to, Vibs,
but I don't want to drink alcohol.
-Okay.
-And it's okay to not want to drink.
-Nothing's wrong.
-What are you talking about?
Are you pregnant? Are you?
Vibs Vibs, be quiet.
I'm only six weeks pregnant.
Keep your mouth shut, Vibs!
-Keep it shut, Vibs!
-Oh, my God!
Mum? No!
I can't Helle is pregnant!
I won't tell anyone.
I won't tell anyone.
We weren't going
to say anything yet.
But I have to admit
that it's great.
Soon, we'll be a family of three.
Or four, Emil. Right?
You'll have to get used to
calling me dad.
-Helle, I love you.
-I love you too.
You're my best friend.
And I can't wait to spend
the rest of my life with you.
Phew So cheers to Helle.
-Happy birthday, darling.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-I love you.
-Cheers! And happy birthday.
-Cheers. Happy birthday.
Emil wants to say something.
He wants to say something.
-Come on. Say something.
-No, I don't want to.
-Your mum is turning 50.
-Viktor, no
Emil is giving a speech!
-Speech! Speech! Speech!
-Come on, sweetie.
-Speech! Speech! Speech!
-Come on, sweetie.
In that case, I'll begin by
saying happy birthday.
Come on, Emil!
Congratulations.
Oh, my God,
it's so exciting and so huge.
When I look at you
Come on, Emil!
I suddenly realise
why everything's going to hell.
You only ever think of yourselves.
You're the most self-centred,
privileged,
hypocritical spoilt-rotten brats
on this planet,
and it makes me sick! Seriously.
The world is literally in flames,
and all you care about is the wine
sediment and your fucking birthday!
What are you thinking? I know.
Only about yourselves.
Bloody hell, Mum! How can you think
you should have a baby
when you act like one yourself?
-No.
-And Viktor No, shut up!
Your head is so far up your own arse
that you can't see what's going on.
-Sit down! I'm not finished!
-Okay.
I'll sit down.
You put on a tie,
and suddenly you're "daddy".
Who do you think you are?
You're lazy, irresponsible and don't
care about anyone but yourself.
No one! Bloody foie gras, Viktor!
-That's enough, Tubby!
-Shut up, Mum!
-My name's Emil! Not Tubby!
-Stop!
-Stop it!
-What are you doing?
-You're insane!
-Rock on, Emil!
Are you okay?
Rock on!
Sweetie! What the hell is going on?
Emil! Stop that. What's going on?
What the hell is going on?
Have you gone insane?
You were right.
I haven't been honest.
-What do you mean?
-I don't love you.
We're not going to be together.
-Stop that!
-That's how I feel.
No it isn't.
-Take care of yourself.
-Emil, stop!
You're lying!
Hi, do you know if Siv
is working today?
She's not working tonight.
Can you get me her address?
-I'll check the office.
-Okay, thanks.
Sorry. Torben.
-Emil?
-Hi.
Hi. I was so sorry to hear
about doctor Kjærgaard.
-My deepest condolences.
-Thank you. Thanks.
I don't know It was a shock.
One day we were playing a doubles
match with Niels and Kirsten,
and the next
Yes.
About the job opening
in the kitchen
Is that still available?
I'm ready to jump on board
and go full throttle.
Yes I need to think about it.
Is the job no longer available?
Yes, it is.
-Was there a problem with my food?
-It was fine.
-Fine? Was it bad?
-No, it wasn't bad.
-Then what?
-It wasn't good. It was neutral.
What do you mean "neutral"?
If you'd squeezed lemon juice
over the crab,
it would have tasted of something.
Lemon?
Do you know how much water is
required to make a lemon tree grow?
-Listen, Emil
-I thought
What I know is:
Food has to taste of something.
Otherwise the diners leave.
Then I might as well
close my eight restaurants.
Okay. Okay
You couldn't care less.
True.
Fuck you, Torben. Yuck!
What the hell?
Did you get that address?
-Hi.
-Hi.
What are you doing here?
-Is this your shoe?
-Yes.
Where have you been?
I've been phoning
and texting you a million times.
I know. I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry, but my life
has been absolutely crazy.
But now I've fixed it.
Hi, darling!
-What have you been doing?
-Been on the swings.
-Did you go high? Say hi to Emil.
-Yes.
Hi, Emil.
-Hi. Great to meet you.
-Hi.
I've heard so much about you.
It's nice to put a face to the name.
-Okay.
-Hi.
-I need to pee!
-I'll do it, and you two can chat.
Please do. Thank you.
That wasn't how
I imagined you'd find out.
Is that guy Who is he?
Is he your ex?
No, that's my husband, and he's
fine with us seeing each other.
Totally. Simon is seeing someone
a couple of times a month
and I have two, and perhaps you,
if you want.
But you need to decide that.
I know it's quite overwhelming.
It's a lot.
Some people can't handle
that type of relationship.
Others are more broad-minded.
And I thought you seemed
incredibly broad-minded.
We thought you might
think it would be nice
to explore this.
Do you want to come in for
a cup of tea and talk about it?
Mum, should he be standing
so close to the water?
Oh my God! And some wine.
-Good morning, lad!
-Hi!
Tubby, what happened?
Mum, there's something wrong
with my nose.
My little man. Come in.
What's happened? You're bleeding!
Where have you been?
-He's dripping on the floor.
-What has happened?
