David...
I want you to tell me what happened.
Do you understand?
We bought a house in the country.
Well... our dream came true.
Baby, I here by declare
this piece of land ours.
The final detail.
Oh no, for God's sake.
Use this.
It's just been painted.
- Congratulations on your new home.
- I want to show you something.
Come on, baby.
OVER THE EDGE:
- What's up?
- Nothing.
I just felt like coming up here
to enjoy the view.
- Hey, look. There's an eagle.
- There is?
- I don't see any eagle.
- You're looking in the wrong place.
No, look at the rocks.
Somebody wrote something.
Somebody proposed.
How romantic.
Wanna?
We bought the house,
so why not go all the way?
Try it on.
I will marry you.
What the f*ck?
- What was that?
- Come on.
Daniel!
- What happened?
Do you see anything?
Don't look!
We can't just stand here staring.
- Let's go, baby.
- Sure.
- Think we should report it?
That we saw someone
running through the woods.
Negotiations are about
to break down. And in local news:
The police say the death
at the Cliffs of Mn was a suicide.
And the weather....
You are the first to see
what I am about to show you.
I think it's going to change
our view of games and reality.
Let me first take a photo of you.
I'm going to upload that photo
to Real Dreams.
Easy as pie.
Now you're actually inside the game.
Real Dreams is a life simulator.
It enables you to do stuff
you may not dare do in real life.
- Bo, can I borrow you for a sec?
Bo is active in the game... now.
Everyday life is full of situations.
You may have a boss
who won't give you the raise -
- you think you deserve.
And that's the difference
between the game and reality.
on our honeymoon.
How about Mexico?
Baby, I'm going for a swim.
Wouldn't these birdhouses be a good
idea at the Geo Center, For the kids?
Sure. Kids just love staring
at wooden boxes.
Kids need to experience real life
instead of video games all the time.
Oh, shit.
Crap! Oh, f*ck!
- Hello.
- I came to give you an offer.
Oh, this is bad.
The house is about to collapse.
All in all you're looking
at 550,000.
- 600,000.
- Plus or minus.
Maybe we can do some of it ourselves.
- I know.
- Get real, baby.
You can't put two Lego bricks together
without breaking both of them.
I know, I know.
- I heard about your problems.
- Oh? Where did you hear that?
Welcome to Mn.
Roar, the local handyman.
Bricklayer, carpenter, plumber.
Want me to come back,
or should we inspect the palace now?
- Now?
Well, come on in.
Raining even more inside, huh?
- Roar.
- Freja.
This way.
This is completely corroded.
Smell this. The water's been
trapped behind the wallpaper.
All it needs is plaster and paint.
It looks worse than it is.
I don't do roofs.
I'm afraid of heights.
Think you could help me
with that, Daniel?
- David.
- David, right.
You need to fix it right away.
For your own sake.
- Cheers.
- Oh, and then there's that.
- What is that?
- We have lots of bugs down here.
That bug sounds big enough
to try the rides at the fun fair.
- I mean... It sounds big.
But don't worry.
I'll fix that too.
Okay. So, could you give us
an estimate?
- If you want everything fixed...
- Yes.
- It's gonna cost you 300,000.
