Maniac (2014) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1 And Action! Thank you for coming to me.
You're the best in the whole world.
Cut, cut, cut! Marilyn, more emotions on these lines, please.
This isn't working.
How hard can it be? -What kind of actor have you hired? -What do you mean? This is supposed to be a sad movie, and we get this? Listen up, everybody! Especially Marilyn.
Pay attention! I want it more generally plain.
Thank you for coming to me! Thank you! You're the best in the world! Good God! That's it! That's what we want.
Is everybody with me? Action! -Come now, HÃ¥kon.
-You're a bloody genius.
Magnifique! We're ready.
(Jeffery:) Mina? We gotta go.
The funeral is in one hour.
-Has he said anything about her? -Nothing.
I have talked to everyone he know, but nobody knows who she is.
Espen's neighbour thought he might have seen her.
Or recognised her.
She might have lived in the building during the 80s.
But he wasn't sure.
Do you realise what this entails? Being the centre of attention at the biggest opening night of the year.
You're the writer, director and lead.
-The ladies will be all over you.
-Nah.
I hope people mainly come to see the movie.
-Why do girls go to opening night? -Because No! They want to meet the stars.
And sleep with them.
This is our big night.
Let's just enjoy the attention! HÃ¥kon You do realise I have to sit next to Marilyn? -You never said that.
-I have to sit with the leading lady.
Marilyn.
I brought you this.
In case you get sad.
Espen Perhaps the most beautiful and most heart-breaking movie ever made.
You're a genius.
I hope they've got popcorn.
There.
Cheers, Espen! Champagne.
-Mina! -Espen, no! Give me the lid.
Let go.
Espen, it's quite natural for you to feel uneasy right now.
We could all use a glass of champagne.
Thank you, thank you! Espen! The hero of the day! This is gonna be so good! You've made the saddest movie in the whole wide world.
My condolences.
Marilyn.
Lovely, as always.
Go mingle.
It's packed in there! Espen! How are you holding up? This is gonna be great! Come.
-My condolences.
-I'm so sorry.
But it's good to see you.
-The greatest day of my life! -Greater than being born.
Don't talk to these common people.
-Hey.
I'm Mina.
-Kjetil.
-Marius.
-I was the one who called.
-I have no idea who you are.
-We're fans! We run your fan club.
-Selfie? -Sure.
No selfie.
Never mind them.
-The team is missing you.
-Team? Do you play football? -No.
Espen is on our quiz team.
-Oh right.
Focus on what's important.
These people are not important.
-Marilyn! -She's not important either.
-Maybe she's important to me.
-Look at all the possibilities! A memory A memory? In memoriam That's just vulgar.
Let's go and sit down.
Sit down there.
Lord, have mercy.
Peace be with you, from our heavenly father, Jesus Christ.
We are gathered here today to say goodbye to Hugo Bakkane.
Together we'll hand him over to God.
It's no secret that we're here today because of Espen! Dear Espen, my friend.
You're a warm and considerate guy who cares about people around you.
Now you've made another classic! I don't know how you do it.
Enjoy it, people! Hugo Bakkane was a warm and considerate man- -who cared about the people who were close to him.
I don't understand any of this.
Great! He went out to sea at the tender age of 14.
He visited every continent and sailed the seven seas.
It was as a sailor he met the love of his life.
Jessica from Baltimore.
Thank you for coming to me.
You're the best in the world.
The dialogue is incredibly bad.
Great script, but Marilyn's got zero credibility.
You've been working out! Jessica gave birth to a lovely boy, Espen, who is here today.
Wrong focus, Espen! -Who's that? -Not now.
But Hugo was a strong man.
With only his own two hands he raised the boy alone.
Who's that girl? No one.
He gave Espen the tools he needed- -to get by in this world.
I pray for Hugo Bakkane's soul to rest in peace.
Jesus says: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden.
And I will give you rest.
Let us pray.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not.
And in the night season, and am not silent.
You've really made a classic! Give comfort to all those who experience sorrow and grief.
We surrender to your strong hand.
Help us live in communion with you- -so we one day can leave here in peace.
I feel like you are talking to me in this movie.
I'm talking to everyone.
That's the hard part.
Let us pray the Lord's Prayer together.
Our father who art in heaven.
Hallowed be thy name.
The kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,- -as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Hey! Hey! So we one day can leave here in peace.
In Jesus Christ, our Lord.
See you soon, daddy! I'm mad at you and I love you all at once.
It's art, for fuck's sake! It's important to remember Espen, what are you doing? Espen! Espen! Espen! We'd like to thank everyone who came.
There will be a small gathering at Lindehjemmet afterwards.
Listen up, people! There's one special person I would like to thank.
Someone who's been by my side like a rock.
I couldn't achieve any of this without this amazing person.
-Marilyn, you're fantastic! -Oh, stop it! Give it up for Marilyn! Cheers! -What are you doing? -Without her there would be no movie.
-But she's -HÃ¥kon! Marilyn is a great lady.
Sober, perhaps.
But right now she's totally wasted.
You know what happens when Marilyn is drunk.
She turns into an annoying drama queen.
-Espen -You can do so much better.
Do you want to talk about it? Look! A nagging drama queen! -Who was that girl? -Who? The girl with the flowers.
I know you recognised her.
The one with the flowers! Who was she? Nobody.
-Are you seeing someone else? -No.
-You don't look at me anymore.
-I'm not Talk to me! Is this the girl from the church? -Talk to me, Espen! -See? Drama queen! Who was that girl? -Esther Sæther.
-Pardon? Her name is Esther Sæther! Okay.
Forget about her and turn your head that way.
Susanna has travelled halfway around the world just to meet you.
Just for you, Espen! -Susanna! -Dirty man! No more! Go to bed! No more drama, you bloody drama queen!
You're the best in the whole world.
Cut, cut, cut! Marilyn, more emotions on these lines, please.
