Here, Vegard. Now we are in Oslo. This is where Torbjørn Egner lived.
On the second floor over there.
That is perfect because today we are meeting a guy who likes role playing.
His name i Gustav Holberg. What can I say? He is a little bouncy man who runs around in the forest doing role playing.
It's a weird thing to do.
It is very weird, it can be... But we think that sounds like fun.
Yes.
There is a door bell there.
Oh look.
Hello, good day.
Is this Gustav? Of course it is Gustav. Hello.
THE ROLE PLAY MAN
Were you standing behind the door? Yes I heard you snooping around out here.
You opened right away.
Come inside.
Thank you.
But what is the deal with role playing?
Shortly told, it's improvised theater. But the difference is that there are no audience.
For how long are you doing it at a time? What is the longest time you've done it?
The longest time was 7 days, 24 hour days.
But are there mostly nerds or...?
No there are all kinds of people. Are you a nerd?
No.
What else do you do? Other hobbies?
Music.
And I have a job as a story teller.
You have? But can we see some story telling?
I was thinking about reading one for you since we are making one live too.
So I want tell you a story related to that.
Once upon a time there were three brothers.
Their named were Per, Pål and Espen.
They thought "Let's go to the king!"
Yes, jobs...
Me? Yes, you do that.
He took the scepter and ran to the king.
Then he got the princess and half of the kingdom. The end. Almost.
The rest is up to you.
We will continue the story? We are continuing the story.
Yes, because it wasn't finished... Are you sure about that?
We're standing outside Gustavs house and he has given us thorough instructions about the role play we are participating in, we will find a forest.
And a fire. And then we're on, and you are...?
Per. And I'm Pål.
Ash fart? Come on out now!
Are you ready? Yes.
Do you have costumes? Yes, we have bought them.
They are in the car. The iron horse.
The iron horse? That's good.
We're at Ola Nar. Is that really the name of this place?
It's named Ola Nar yes. What a funny name.
Anyway, we're playing the role play over there. You've brought a costume, right?
I have my costume here. I think maybe yours is better than ours.
This one. What is that?
Prince Charming?
I'm being Prince Charming. That is totally okay.
Look at my fence... I ment face.
Look at my fence.
We have found two knight costumes and some weapons and a helmet.
Not two knights. One knight and one Prince Charming and guess who's being who?
The one with the greatest fence... The one with the fence.
That's brilliant! Are these like stupid...?
No!
Um... I don't know if Per and Pål need a sword and a club. But the club fits better maybe?
The club is Prince Charmings. Then I can to like this.
I said... It doesn't meant that I...
There! It's getting fun now.
Aim for the penis!
I thought I'd wear this one, is that cool?
Bitch!
Yes...
You don't sound convinced.
Is Per a little... Per is a little bling bling you see.
You have to think about the walk, mine is like this.
I limp a little.
I'm a little on the bling bling walk. My name is Per and this is my brother Pål...
... and my little brother Espen Ashfart.
I declare this play started!
No no no, you go sit over there. Camera on you and then I walk in.
Okay.
You start right away.
What am I supposed to do then? We've already started now.
I know that.
Oh, Pål! I am so cold! Maybe because you have too few clothes on.
Shut up!
Did you hear that Ashfart married the princess?
No, I don't think we were supposed to know that yet. It's a secret, kind of.
Pick up the pace, Ashfart!
Hello, brothers! Hello!
I must stroll a little, no need to rush.
Oh come on now!
I am in a hurry, can't you see that? You spoiled little turd!
You wear my patience down! Why are you so mad?
We're not mad. I have some great news.
Really? Tell us!
I got a princess.
It's true! No.
Is too! No it's not.
Here's the wedding ring and everything.
That's just a fake wedding ring. Let me have it. No no no, that's mine. You can't just steal the princess!
I'll take that ring and... Ashfart...!
Pål... Cut him some slack.
Fuck...
You can't just club down your own brother! Or in the other hand... That was a damn nice ring.
Take of the whole hand. ...ring of Mordor..
I'll remove the hand. Are you ready?
Wait... Just.. What are you....?
One... Two and...
Yes!!
You must take the...
Beware, Ashfart!
Take this grouse. It's a grouse.
Eat it. Now you feel nothing.
Tell me where this princess of yours live!
She like... Lives with the king.
I'll wear your hand, and the king will soon see who's got the wedding ring!
That was fun, but maybe the goal was a little too vague.
I had this one too, but I didn't use it. Nice effect, film this!
Thank you for having us! Nice to meet you!
Very...
We must do this more often.
Let's do it in another life.
Bye!
Are they gone now...?
Damn, they are bad live... If they ask me ever again, no no no!
You've gotta think about...! ...ROLE PLAY!!!
You've gotta think about your children and your family! Come on! What are you doing?!
"Samurai prayer."
Thank you so much for having us. This was a lot of fun.
Nice to meet you. Same to you.
Maybe we'll meet on another "live" sometime. Yes, maybe, bye now!
Ashfart!
That was Ashfart! It was full of impressions.
A very nice guy. That made us swing our club.
That's the most important. Ashfart!
Ow.
