Karla & Jonas (Karla og Jonas)

"Jonas" is the nicest name in the whole world.

It's also the name of the first boy to ever kiss me.

I met him this summer, and he gave me his cell phone number.

I think about him a thousand times a day, though it's months ago now.

KARLA AND JONAS

That's why I bet he's forgotten all about me.

The square of X times 3 equals 48.

- What does that equal? - Huh?

The square of Jonas times 3 equals a billion Jonas?

So call him.

- No way! - Why not?

- He doesn't want to talk to me. - He gave you his number, didn't he?

- He doesn't remember me. - He kissed you.

What if he's really upset because you haven't called?

Call him.

If you don't, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

No, I can't, Katrine!

Okay. Then I'll do it.

No, Katrine! Give it to me!

Give it to me! Stop! Stop! I mean it!

Okay, I'll do it, I promise. Just give it to me.

- What am I gonna say? - Ask if he wants to go out with you.

- Are you insane? - Then ask him why he kissed you.

- No, I can't. - Sure you can.

Say you're doing a paper on living in a home, and ask him for an interview.

Okay.

- Hi, it's Jonas. - Hi, Jonas. It's Karla.

- Karla who? - We met this summer.

- Okay. Hi. - I'm calling because ...

I'm doing a paper on what it's like to live in a home. Can I interview you?

- I guess so. When?? - I dunno. Tomorrow?>?

Okay. It just happens to be my birthday.

- Oh, congratulations ... on tomorrow. - Thanks.

Just stop by after school. See ya.

- What did he say? - He remembered me!

- What did he say? - What am I gonna wear?

Okay ... No.

Look at my hair. It looks like mouse shit!

I never should've called Jonas. I look like shit.

We'll do a makeover on you.

"Apply the color using the bottle."

"Start at the scalp and apply the color evenly.”

- Do you want to play Pictionary? - No, and get out.

- What are you doing? - It washes out.

Don't dye your hair without asking me.

Well, I'm going to. I paid for it myself anyway.

I forbid you to put this cocktail of chemicals in your hair. You'll ruin it.

- But you dye your hair. - That's different.

- Why? - I'm a grown-up.

So you can ruin your hair because you're old, is that it?

- Just don't dye your hair, okay? - Why do you have to be like this?

All my friends are allowed. Katrine's allowed.

- You're allowed to dye your hair? - Well, we've talked about it.

Karla ...

You have beautiful hair. It glows ...

Like mouse shit! I'm not bringing this mop to my friend's birthday tomorrow!

- You'll just have to. - You freak out over some hair color!

- I'm not getting a goddamn piercing! - Don't use that tone with me!

- Fuck you! - Go to your room, now!

Don't talk like that to me!

I guess I'd better get going.

- Get lost. - Dinner's ready.

Get lost!

- Next time, knock. - Huh?

Knock!

- Oh, come in! - Mom says you gotta come down.

I don't wanna talk to her.

- What? - Are you mad at Mom?

Yes. She treats me like a child.

I know the feeling. Sometimes you're small, sometimes you're big.

- We just gotta learn to live with it. - Dinner's ready.

An apartment block? Or a ...

Here we go. Bum ...? What then?

Your drawing is so bad.

- Hungry? - No thanks.

Pig sound! Wolf cry! Pig ...

A cow? A horse?

This is the moment Anna has been waiting for all her life.

At last she's found her long lost mother.

- Karla, help me. - Karla's way too grown up for this.

Shut up!

Are you gonna go straight to an old people's home when you move out?

- Drama queen. - Enough.

- She's always in a shitty mood. - You always tease her.

- You laughed too. - Yeah, well ...

Come in.

I'm sorry we laughed earlier. We weren't laughing at you though.

- Still upset about your hair? - Why do you treat me like a child?

- Because you are a child. - I'm practically a teenager.

- That's not the same as being a child. - Nor is it the same as being an adult.

Whose birthday is it tomorrow?

Come on, sweetie. Who is it?

- Jonas. - The boy you met this summer?

- I didn't know you'd kept in touch. - I wanna go to sleep now.

Sleep tight, sweetie.

It's a ... a house?

A farm?

- Are you wearing makeup? - And?

- You just don't usually wear it. - Well, I gotta go.

- I'm just going to drive Karla. - No way. I'm going on my own.

- Do you know the way? - Sure.

CHILDREN'S CARE CENTER

- Want me to call your mom? - I bet she's drunk out of her mind.

- You don't know that. - I know her better than you.

No smoking in here. You know that.

I told you to stop.

- Hi. - I'm here to see Jonas.

- Oh, you're doing a paper for school? - Yes.

Here you go. Was this all your idea?

We could choose our own topic, so ...

- I think Jonas is down there. - Okay, thanks.

- There ... Hey! - You suck.

- I do not suck. - That throw sucked.

- Let me try again, and I'll show you. - Maybe.

No way, you little shit!

- Hi. - Hi.

I haven't seen you before. Who's this, Jonas?

- Just this girl Karla. - Hi, Karla. Welcome.

- I'm Mikkel. - Hi.

- Nice of you to come for his birthday. - She's doing a paper for school.

About what it's like to live here.

Hello, Jonas. How about showing Karla your room then?

Sure.

- Nice! - It's okay.

- How many kids live here? - 24,

- 24727 Where is everyone then?? - Many are home for the weekend.

- So they have a family? - Yes.

- How come they live here then? - Maybe their parents are ill.

Or maybe they drink. All kinds of reasons.

Is it fun to live in a home? With so many kids, I mean.

I can be fun ... sometimes.

- Are the grown-ups really strict? - Not Mikkel. He's like a big brother.

He taught me to skate.

- Aren't you gonna take notes? - I have a pretty good memory.

- Why do you live here? - It's a long story.

Isn't that the picture you showed me this summer?

You look so much like your real mom.

Think she remembers it's your birthday today?

- What up? Is that your new girlfriend? - Hell no.

- Hell yes! - I'm gonna kill you!

Don't! Let go of me!

Hey, what's going on? Sebastian, go to your room.

- The jerk threw water balloons at me! - He's going through a rough time.

- He always is! - Cheer up. It's your birthday.

Birthday cake in five minutes. And presents.

I got you a present too.

- You can trade it for something else. - No, I think it's cool.

Congratulations, big boy. 13 years, 13 candles.

And 13 cheers. Long live Jonas!

And a long cheer!

- See? You do have a girlfriend. - And you're jealous.

If it's not her, who is it? Is she a babe?

- What do you think? - Let's get down to the presents.

- Thanks! Nice. - I got you something too.

- He's lucky! - No way!

- Your old Enjoi board? - Sure, new wheels and all.

Gee, thanks!

What a great gift. Something to remember Mikkel by, when he stops.

- Stops? - You didn't tell him?

Jonas, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for you to hear it like this.

- I wanted to tell you myself. - Tell me what?

- I'm going to head another center. - Great. I'll go with you.

- But you can't, Jonas. - Sure I can.

- No, it's for young offenders. - I'll become an offender then.

- Don't joke about that. - I wasn't joking.

You can't come with me. You have to stay here.

Jonas, wait! Listen to me ... Wait!

- I get why you're upset. - You don't get shit.

You've got a mom and a dad who'll do anything for you.

You've got a family somewhere too.

- You have a mom somewhere. - Great mom! She gave me away.

Maybe she's been really sad about it like those people on "Vanished".

It doesn't matter anyway. I don't need anyone.

- Everybody needs somebody. - Not me.

Maybe we could get "Vanished" to find your mom.

There's no harm in asking, is there?

- Hi. - How can I help you?

- It's about the show "Vanished". - Have you got an appointment?

- No. - You have to call or write them.

- Okay. When do they get off work?>? - Around four or five.

- Hi. Can I ask you something? - Sure.

Jonas' mom gave him up for adoption, and now he'd like to find her.

We've got a picture of her.

I'd love to help you, but we don't take on cases involving minors.

How mean! It's minors that need their mom.

Then make a "Vanished - For Kids". I think you'd get tons of viewers.

I'm afraid I can't help you.

Told you so.

Karla. What are you doing here?

Hey, isn't that Jonas? Good to see you.

- Did you come to pick me up? - Not quite. We wanted to ...

We wanted to ... talk to the people from "The X Factor".

- Jonas is a great singer. - You are?

- But they told us to write a letter. - I'll give you a ride home then.

- What school do you go to, Jonas? - Krumborg School.

- Let's go upstairs. - No more ice cream? Sure?

- Yes. - This bit isn't worth saving.

- They do feed him, you know. - I want an Enjoi board too.

- Jonas, let's go upstairs. - Is the home for children only?

- So you get to decide everything? - We have grown-ups looking after us.
