SKAM Season 3 Epilogue, translated

I had a request for the English translation of the SKAM Season 3 epilogue, which appears in the script, but was never filmed. It takes place the day after the Christmas party, when Isak goes to meet Even's parents for the first time. I have done my best to translate, apologizes for any errors. 😅

SATURDAY 17 DECEMBER AT 17.33

SCENE 1 HALLWAY ISAK and EVEN stand in the hallway outside EVEN's apartment. EVEN smiles: Are you ready? ISAK smiles. I'm ready. EVEN kisses him EVEN: Just a little warning, my mom is pretty intense. ISAK: Okay? EVEN: If it gets too much and you want to leave, just take my hand and squeeze it, ok? ISAK nods: Okay EVEN: Like this EVEN takes ISAK's hand and squeezes it gently but firmly. ISAK smiles: Like this? ISAK takes EVEN's hand and squeezes it really hard.

S2 APARTMENT EVEN opens the door to the apartment (Same picture as in S3 E2) EVEN: Hello? EVEN'S MOTHER looks out of the kitchen, she is a short lady with lots of blond curls and marked smile lines. MOTHER happy: Hi! THE FATHER, a tall man who looks like EVEN only without hair, looks out from the living room. THE FATHER: Hey, welcome IMPROV greeting and enthusiasm, both the MOTHER (SIGRID) and the FATHER (JAN) go right to hug ISAK, EVEN apologizes, says that they are a hugging family, that he should have been warned in advance. ISAK says it's just nice. They are hanging on, THE MOTHER asks if they are hungry. EVEN says they won't have any dinner. SIGRID: Come in then, sit down.

S3: LIVING ROOM EVEN and ISAK sit down on the sofa. THE MOTHER sits down in a chair and studies ISAK with admiring eyes, it looks like she is about to burst with happiness. EVEN gets embarrassed. JAN: Would you like something to drink Isak? A beer? ISAK a little confused: Eh ok, yes, thank you. ISAK looks at EVEN, EVEN smiles SIGRID: Are you sure you don't want anything to eat then? Dad made very good fish soup? EVEN: No thanks, we won't be here for long. SIGRID: No, no, but it doesn't take that long to eat some soup, does it? Where are going, then? EVEN: Nowhere THE FATHER enters the room with beers SIGRID: So it’s not anything you need to get to? EVEN: No, I’m just making sure that Isak is presented to you in small doses at a time, so you don't scare him away. SIGRID laughs: Yes JAN: Sounds good. THE FATHER opens the beers and hands them out. JAN: Cheers, nice to finally meet you, Isak. ISAK: Yes, thank you. Same. Everyone toasts and takes a sip. There is silence for a moment. SIGRID is having a hard time creating a good atmosphere again. SIGRID: Even has told us so many nice things about you. ISAK a little surprised. Oh really? EVEN: Now you're exaggerating, I haven't said that much. SIGRID: No, no, just little things, you also go to Nissen, I understand? ISAK: Yes!

SIGRID: You've been going there ever since first year, haven’t you? ISAK: Yes, but I‘m only in my second year, so SIGRID come on: Yes, that's right, you're 17! ISAK: Yes She glanced anxiously at the beer ISAK is holding and looks over at JAN. ISAK registers the glances, and gets stressed himself, he probably shouldn't have agreed to beer, he thought they knew that he was 17, he didn’t mean to deceive them. EVEN puts his hand on ISAK's. ISAK looks up at EVEN, EVEN smiles calmly. JAN: Did Even tell you that I also went to Nissen? ISAK: No, he didn’t JAN: Yes, Russ ’89 ISAK nods: Cool It gets quiet again. ISAK looks around. The MOTHER wants a good atmosphere SIGRID laughs: It is not so exciting for them to hear about our Russ time ISAK discovers a photo on the wall ISAK: Is that Even? SIGRID looks up and smiles happily: Yeahhh, wasn't he cute? ISAK smiles: Very cute SIGRID suddenly realizes: Do you know what I found the other day?! She gets up. JAN: Yes, it was cool to see it again EVEN a bit unengaged: What did you find? SIGRID: Your old album, wouldn’t it be fun for Isak to see? EVEN: No, mom, it's not fun, this is what I'm talking about, can you please chill, you’re going to scare him away.

EVEN puts his hand on ISAK's SIGRID rummages through a bookshelf: Now you have to give up, no one is scared by childhood photos, are you frightened by childhood photos, Isak? ISAK looks at EVEN and grins before shaking his head. ISAK: Getting startled by childhood photos, I'd really like to see that. SIGRID has found an album: There you go, Isak is certainly not frightened by childhood photos. EVEN sighs, MOTHER plops down next to ISAK and opens a small green album. She flips through the pages and shows: Even with a painted face. Even is Lucia with candles on his head. Even has caught a crab. Even has fallen asleep on the toilet. ISAK laughs charmingly and looks up at EVEN, EVEN rolls his eyes. The mother turns the pages: A young girl has her arms around Even on a sled in the snow. She looks like Even’s mother, only a lot younger. ISAK looks up at SIGRID. ISAK confused: Is that you? SIGRID: It's my little sister, June. ISAK: Ah, you look alike. EVEN: We are very similar. ISAK laughs

ISAK: I meant your mother. ISAK looks at EVEN for a response, but EVEN doesn't laugh, ISAK gets confused, SIGRID tries to smooth it over SIGRID explaining: Even had a very close relationship with his aunt when he was little, they were best friends. EVEN corrects: Soulmates ISAK nods and studies the picture again. June is wearing a huge white bubble jacket. Even's little head sticks up through her arms. He has a blue knitted hat pulled down over his eyes, it almost looks like he is drowning in her. Both smile happily at the camera. ISAK: How old is she? SIGRID: She's probably 21 there, wasn’t it taken a few days before she left us? EVEN annoyed: No, that picture is from my 7th birthday. SIGRID: Yes, that's right, sorry, so a couple of months before that, she died in April. EVEN still annoyed that his mother is imprecise: April 2 SIGRID: Yes. ISAK: Condolences.

EVEN: You don't need to offer condolences, she got better. SIGRID: Thank you, Isak. SIGRID sends EVEN a stern look. EVEN takes in her mother's gaze EVEN: What? Didn’t she get better? SIGRID annoyed: I guess nobody knows, because she's not here to answer that. SIGRID claps the album again and stands up. SIGRID uneasy: Does anyone want a gingerbread cookie? JAN solution-oriented: I'd be happy to have a gingerbread cookie! EVEN annoyed: We gotta go SIGRID doesn't answer, she disappears into the kitchen, EVEN stares after his mother. ISAK looks at EVEN. He puts his hand on EVEN's hand. EVEN turns and looks at him, ISAK smiles calmly. ISAK: We can have a gingerbread cookie? EVEN becomes calm. He nods.

I love, love how much this scene shows about their relationship, how it’s Even trying to comfort Isak, but really it’s Isak comforting Even. 🥺 If you read fic you have probably come across stories involving Even’s Aunt June, who was also bipolar and committed suicide when Even was 7. 💔 This scene is where that information came from. Also, I love seeing Isak in a scene with a happy family, considering how strained his relationship is with his own family. I understand why this scene was never filmed, but I am really thankful we have it in script form. ❤️

Translation: Manusoverlevering, part 1

Yeah, so... as promised, here's part 1 of the youtube video translation, from 0:00 to 24:20. (There will be two more parts, but they will probably take a week each.)

Any mistakes are there for your enjoyment - I'm a Swede translating Norwegian into English, which gives me two extra languages to føkk up. Ooops.

Also, there are a lot of starts, stops, pauses and unfinished sentences going on during the panel - I haven't cleaned that up, you're getting it just as it was said. So, yeah. Sorry, not sorry.

Anyway, translation (hopefully...) under the cut because it's looooong...

Presenter: First we’re going to see a video that one of the 181 has made about what it was like to bid on the scripts - that must have been a very exciting situation to be in - which ended on 109 901 NOK. So let’s spin the film and then we’ll meet Christopher Pahle and the rest of the crew. Enjoy.

*a short film about how 181 Skam fans came together to bid on an original script signed by Julie Andem at P3aksjonen 2017 [and ended up with three] is shown. [I began to translate this too - but either the picture quality or my eyesight is too poor so I gave up…]

Christopher Pahle: Hi, everyone. My name is Christopher and I’m going to be the moderator this evening. Um. Before we start, I’m just going to say that I noticed that we have an extra chair here so I hope that it’s okay that we brought an extra guest. So, please welcome Carl Martin Eggesbø, Henrik Holm, Ulrikke Falch, David Sjøholt, and Julie Andem. [the audience applauds] There’s a stair back there. Hello. We found out about an hour ago that Julie caught the flight from Copenhagen so we’re very happy about that. Congratulations on having been entered into the National Library. That's fun. Fun for Ibsen to hang with you.

Julie Andem: Just to think that we have the kind of fans that make sure that that happens, that’s…

C: You can applaud yourself for that. [audience applaud themselves] I think it’s about one year since the last episode, the last clip.

Henrik Holm: Sunday, wasn’t it?

C: What was that?

H: On Sunday, wasn’t it?

C: Yeah, I think so. And I was also told that it’s two years today since the trailer for season three was released.

J: Yeah. [audience giggles] Yeah, it’s cool.

C: But it’s been a year, how has it been since, are you getting some distance to everything, or? [he giggles] Well, you’re sitting here…

H: Yeah, we’re still here, aren’t we?

C: Yeah. But has it been hard to get some distance to it?

H: No, things happen in a natural order and it hasn’t been enough time to get a distance to it yet.

C: No. Is there anything you’re missing in particular? Something you’ve thought about?

J: I’m missing all the actors every day. And the team, the Norwegian team.

Ulrikke Falch: It’s been busy.

C: Yeah. We imagine that you’re spending all your time with them when you’re back home, but that’s not the case then?

J: I’m trying, but… I want to, but they all have lives without me, so…

C: One thing I was wondering about. You… none of you had your own seasons, and you might not have been told everything that was to happen in the season arcs, did you sometimes have to follow the story like us mere mortals via the clips being released?

H: Of course.

C: Yeah?

U: We got the scripts, though, so we knew what was going to happen. But it was always cool to see the recordings.

H: But we always got them one script at a time.

J: And it wasn’t everyone who actually read the scripts.

H: No… Me??

J: I was only looking at… I just said “not everyone”, I’m not mentioning any names, I’m not mentioning any names, just that “everyone didn’t do that always”.

H: I didn’t feel targeted by that. I didn’t.

C: I don’t think you should either. But, umm… you knew everything that was going to happen, most of you anyway, so was there something that came as as much of a surprise for you that it did for us?

David Sjøholt: We got the scripts via mail, so it was like…

C: And then you got the full script, not just your own scenes?

D: Yeah. Didn’t we?

J: Yeah. You did. Yeah. But I never released… it was only me and two others who knew the story arcs each season before the seasons began, and one of the reasons for that was to see the reactions I got from the crew and the actors on the scripts, because I thought that it would be about the same reaction that I would get from the audience. I remember that Ulrikke was very good at responding to the scripts, when you liked something in the script or in the story you immediately sent a reply like “oh, that’s cool”, or…

U: Or when I was unhappy, nag nag nag.

J: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

C: Was there something people reacted different to than you’d thought, Julie?

J: No, but there were some reactions that were stronger, like when I wrote episode eight in season three, I was very, like, it’s getting quite dark now. And then I sent it out to the team, and it was met with total silence, and usually it took just about half an hour after I sent out a script before people began to reply “cool script, blah, blah, blah, can we meet, we need a meeting, I have to know…”, but a half hour passed and an hour passed and one and a half hour passed, and then I got a message from my editor where he said “Fuck you”. And I thought… I remember that production meeting, because everyone was afraid because they didn’t know how the season would end, so everyone was very afraid of how the story would end. So everyone was concerned. So I remember I thought, like, wow. I hadn’t expected it to make such a big impression.

C: No, right. And then it’s particularly the scene, or, it’s the Plaza…

J: Yeah, it’s the Plaza…

C: And Sonja and Grønland and that. But it does say in the script, the episode eight one that will be entered today, because you’ve made some notes, and it says that people reacted… that it was heavier in the first draft.

J: Yeah. That it was harsher…

C: And that’s the scene in the street…

J: Yeah, with Sonja.

C: And how was it?

J: Yeah, I don’t know if it was so much harsher, but what I meant was that Sonja was even more convincing so that at the end you just thought that, like, this is just fucked. That you didn’t have even the slightest of hope. So then I added in a couple of elements that made you think that okay, maybe she isn’t telling the truth, so you could cling to that. But in that first draft I remember that it was like, okay there is no hope at all.

C: Okay. It was probably good that you…

J: Yeah…

C: Why do you think people reacted so strongly to that scene?

J: Well, I think that when you’ve identified so strongly with Isak, then you feel really stupid. And the whole dream of who you could be just shatters into a thousand pieces because here he’s been fighting his problems that are his fear of coming out and fear of being with Even, and he’s been thinking that Even has the same fears and that’s why he’s together with Sonja, and then it turns out that there are much bigger and more important things than him that Even is dealing with. So I think that if you’ve really empathised with Isak then you can feel both very stupid and very afraid because it isn’t a given that it will end with Isak and Even at that time. I think.

H: I remember… as I said, we got one episode at a time, and I remember that I sat, when I read the script, I sat and I had never been so shocked after reading a script, like, ever. I think I stood up and read it, really, like… [acts shocked] For me, it was like watching an episode because the images just started to whirr, right? And then it gets to Even running out of the hotel room, and I was like, what…?

J: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

H: And then you have to read it four time to understand what’s really happened, because it’s so… I don’t know…

C: Yeah, and it’s pretty intensely written and I recommend everyone to look at the scripts and read them, because I have, and that’s an experience in itself. I’ve read a lot of scripts and these were… I knew they were good, but…[Julie makes an “aww, chucks” gesture and the audience laughs and applauds] Um. We’re going to talk a bit about your characters in… in… first and foremost in the episodes that will be incorporated into the collections here now. Um. And… let’s see here, I lost the thread now. Um. Yeah. [Very serious voice] David. [David looks nervous] Um. You are, or, I’ve asked in one of the fan groups on Facebook what people were most curious about and a lot of people were very curious about you.

D: Mmhm.

C: They might not know, or, they might not know a lot about your character and how it evolves, because you really began more like an extra and then you were written into… When did you decide to do that, Julie?

J: Um… weren’t you auditioning for Even?

D: Umm? [David looks confused]

J: Really, we had, okay, as I remember it anyway, before season three we had a joint audition where we were looking for Even but also looking to extend Isak’s group of friends. And then you were there but I’m not sure if you knew that you really were at an Even audition…

D: No, I think I was… No, I mean, because I knew Tarjei, Isak, we’re best friends, so it would have been weird to, well… [everyone laughs] No, so I think it was for something else than Even.

J: Yeah. Okay. But what’s really funny is that I’ve gotten a lot of questions about who the nine original characters were, and Magnus was one of the characters that I didn’t… that I realised when I was about to create him for season one that I didn’t need him, that he was unnecessary, but then I remembered him when I was writing season three, and then David auditioned, and he has an amazing timing and an amazing comedic talent, and he’s just an exceptionally talented actor, and knew Ta… [David pretends to dry away a tear and everyone giggles and applauds] and knew Tarjei really well, and I have a kind of standard audition that I always use for boys when they come to auditions, setting them up two and two, and I think I’ve seen that scene a thousand times…

H: The youth [at least I think that’s what he’s saying - diction, mate…] dialogue?

J: Yeah. And then David enters and does it in such a new and fresh way, it takes a lot to, like, impress me with that script, but he was totally awesome.

D: Cool.

J: So then he just became Magnus.

C: But then the character was in place from the beginning, with a, with a character core diamond with a shame and things like that?

J: He really was, I don’t know if I shared it with you, did you get…

D: You sent something, but it was after it was finished. [everyone laughs] It was at the party, the wrap party, that you came and were like *high pitched sound*

J: Yeah, but I’m pretty good at keeping an eye on the logic of a character, so he puts his charm and his comedic talent into the character, which is a gift to me and the series, but I make sure that Magnus stays inside that logic, or inside the character core diamond that you called it. So I remove everything in the clips that goes against that during the impro, or remove it from the script, or, “don’t say that”.

D: Pretty often.

C: I’ve got a question from your future… I almost said partner [I guess Christopher is referring to Tarjei since this was probably filmed around when David, Tarjei and Jakob moved into a flatshare together?] that I feel like I’ve almost got an answer to already, but he’s asking when you’re most yourself in the character, like when Magnus is most like David, that’s something he thinks that you should answer.

D: Most myself?

C: Are there times when you aren’t yourself?

J: It’s a trick question, don’t answer that.

D: I think I’m a bit myself in all the scenes, but… most myself, I don’t know? Maybe when I act with Ulrikke, it gets like…

U: YES!! [everyone laughs and applauds]

H: I think you miss each other.

U: We miss each other so much. But David has got a girlfriend, so…

C: But it isn’t like, you mentioned about impro, because you’ve noted in one of the scripts, I think that might be the script that’s… eh… yeah, I can’t remember if it’s the one donated here or to Skeivt Arkiv [The Norwegian archive for queer history], but either way you’ve written in your comments that “the fact that Magnus and Vilde stand there and flirt was something we thought of there and then, mostly because I think David and Ulle are so good at improvising and we had to use it”, that’s in episode five when they’re on their way into the party.

J: Yeah. Do you remember the door there?

U: Yeah.

C: And you do have [David re-enacts the flirty wave] Yeah, right, it’s that one, and you do have a few of those scenes, and it isn’t always easy to know what’s improvised or not because everything seems very natural, um, what I really wanted… [he laughs]

U: All that…

J: Just go ahead and ask.

C: What I really want to know, um… that meowing…? [he giggles]

J: Yeah, that was in the script.

C: That was in the script?? [both he and Julie laugh] Of course it was.

J: It was!!

C: At the Christmas party at…

J: Yeah. It's because he’s the “cat hooker”.

C: Yeah, of course.

J: So he has, it’s been a running gag that he has a thing for cats.

D: Where does it come from, I can’t remember, where…

J: When you’re by the Christmas tree, we’re talking about…

U: The tongue, you improvised…

J: Yeah, that was impro.

D: Yeah, but I mean when we were… you meowed? I don’t remember that?

U: It’s an iconic scene.

D: I don’t remember that.

J: She meows and then you say do it again.

D: Ah. That one, yeah. I remember now.

C: Yeah, that is, that is…

J: That I actually wrote, but what’s actually impro was him saying in the scene where they’re sitting at the cafeteria [no, I’m not even going to try to translate ”apeberget”… Peanut gallery?] at Nissen and eat buns, and Jonas says, like, it was written, “I hooked up with a girl once that didn’t have a clitoris”, and then he says “I hooked up with a girl that had a cat tongue” and then it turned into “cat hooker”, and that was impro.

C: So the whole thing…

J: The whole cat hooker thing, after that ended up in a clip then that was just a thing we continued.

C: Right. It happens sometimes that magic appears during impro and then it turns into a whole thread.

J: Exactly.

C: That’s great. We have another scene too that I was pretty surprised was improvised that we’re going to look at, but I’m sorry that there’s been some tech issues, or, we’ve skipped around a bit so the clip we’re about to show isn’t exactly in the order it was planned, but, like, in the episode where Even meets Isak’s friends for the first time in the corridor, it says, you’ve written, “can't remember why that scene is so sparsely written, I think it’s just because I ran out of time to write so we improvised the scene”.

J: Story of my life.

C: And that in the script, all it says is “they greet each other”, but then it turned into a very, very, um, strong and good scene, not in the least in the way the boys react to… Isak is obviously afraid of how people will react, let’s see what it says [the script page is shown on the screen], it says, the stage directions are just “Isak stands on the stairs at school and is saying goodbye to the boys when Even comes by. Isak introduces Even to the boys, the boys jokes about how they got thrown out on Friday, Isak gets embarrassed”. Um, and that’s really that, can we… we have that scene so we’ll take a look at it, and it’s just, um, like, I’m just wondering how the boys’ reactions evolved. But maybe just watch the clip first. [they all turn towards the screen but nothing happens] If it’s set up, that is. And now I got a stern talking to about not being too quick with the transitions.

*the clip plays*
