Day 16 {Summer Tour}

We were walking around Norway last night and Nikolai wanted to stick his head into a book store to see if they had this book he wanted and we stayed in there for about 10 minutes then suddenly someone clasps his hands around my eyes. The Strokes give me hints as to who it is:

NICK
Alright there are two of them. You get one guess per hint. This was one hint. You can ask yes or no questions.
CHRISTINA
Hmm...are they apart of The Strokes in any way, shape, or form?
NICK
No. They're both white.
CHRISTINA
Are the affiliated with SNL in any way, shape, or form?
NICK
No, they're both in their 30's and 40's.
CHRISTINA
Are the both guys?
NICK
Yes, they were at your birthday party.
CHRISTINA
Do I know them very well?
NICK
Yes and no. You know one more than the other.
CHRISTINA   
...are they Norwegian? 
NICK
No.
FAB
They're making this extremely difficult by the way.
CHRISTINA
(laughs) Perfect.
NICK
They have their own TV show.
CHRISTINA
Am I guessing who is behind me?
NICK
Yes, they've been on NBC before.
CHRISTINA
Is it Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding? (NOEL releases me and CHRISTINA pushes him outside and once the door closes she screams his name while jumping on him, he grabs her tightly spinning in a circle) What are you doing in Norway!
NOEL
We had to pick up a friend who got stranded out here!
CHRISTINA
Which friend gets stranded in NORWAY.
JUBEE
(everyone except NIKOLAI and RYAN are outside as they are paying for their books) Idiot ran away from home...he's not exactly our friend he's more our friend's son.
JULIAN
Why didn't they come get their kid that's so fucked up!
JUBEE
Trust me this was better, the kid was suicidal from his parents. They're great people, just bad parents.
NICK
What're you going to do when you find him?
NOEL
We're sending his to military school. 
CHRISTINA
How old is he?!
JUBEE
He's only 13! Running away to Norway...
ALBERT
How did he get away? Train? Is he from England?
NOEL
No these blokes are from Finland.
CHRISTINA
Oh yes, because we all have friends from Finland.
NOEL
Hey! These finish folks are nice. Don't be mean.
CHRISTINA
Alright, alright...how long are you two here for?
JUBEE
We leave tomorrow night, we should hang out tomorrow!
NICK
Definitely, come to our show, when's your flight?
NOEL
(looking to JUBEE) What is it...11PM?
ALBERT
Yeah you guys should come! It'll be good having people we know in the crowd.
JULIAN
We go on at around 8ish so, if you want, you should stick around.
CHRISTINA
What time do you guys practice tomorrow cause if you're going to be sound checking all day we should invite these two to take your place in ceramics.
NOEL
I love ceramics!
JULIAN
Oh yeah, yeah definitely take our place I don't want to waste the money.
JUBEE
Sure, it'd just be us three?
NICK
And 20 other people making pots and what not. It's actually a lot of fun.
NOEL
Heck yes! Let's do it! Are you all staying down by the wharf? I feel like we're at the exact same hotel.
ALBERT
That would not be surprising as there aren't many hotels in eastern Norway.
NOEL
Ha ha, yeah. Continental?
JULIAN
That's the one.
JUBEE
Ha ha, we'll walk with you then.

And we chatted in the main lobby all night. Woke up this morning and went straight to Ceramics with Noel and Jubee, it's funny, it's literally the same dynamic in that room. Noel would be Julian and Jubee would be Nick. It's kind of funny really. Today we finished our boxes and started making our coil pots. I love ceramics, I'm not exactly sure who I'll give my coil pot to, probably Bill because his birthday is coming up...these are such awesome gift ideas...hehe. After ceramics we all got lunch and watched a movie. We went online and watched "The Perfect Teacher" just because it looked like a good porno. But before that this conversation happened:

NOEL
I can't believe how bri-pop you are!
CHRISTINA
How what I am?
JUBEE
God Noel, (to CHRISTINA) all he knows is London-slang. Bri-pop is when your the new Europe fad. British popular if you will.
NOEL
Yeah, it's really cool!
CHRISTINA
Yeah I know, exciting too! Speaking of which I finished your show.
JUBEE
The entire thing??
CHRISTINA
Well I had seen most of the episodes save a few, so I watched the rest of them on the flight to Norway. So damn funny.
JUBEE
Aw well thanks. Which episodes hadn't you seen?
CHRISTINA
I don't remember all the names, but one of them was definitely The Chokes and another was Killeroo. 
NOEL
Oh those were good ones too! 
CHRISTINA
I know! I wish I could've been in your show. Are you filming a 4th series?
NOEL
Yeah...actually we just need to write the episodes and then film them and then we're good but right now...nothing's written.
JUBEE
We've just been really busy as it is.
CHRISTINA
Yeah no I gotcha. 
NOEL
Wait, you should definitely be in our show though! You'd be brilliant!
CHRISTINA
You think?
NOEL
Yeah people would love you! We should write you in as a non-permanent character and then see what people think of you and then leave you on as a stay-in!
CHRISTINA
That'd be amazing! I would love to! I'd have to say on SNL though...I can't quit that show.
NOEL
You wouldn't have to! You got a lot of down time yeah?
CHRISTINA
Yeah.
NOEL
You can do both, how often do you film, like is there at least one day where you don't film?
CHRISTINA
Yeah I'm usually only in 3 scenes meaning that I only film for 6 hours a week. 
JUBEE
Really? That's nothing.
CHRISTINA
I know it's a great gig.
NOEL
That's perfect, you could fly on your downtime to London and film for Boosh and then go back! 
CHRISTINA
Wait are you two being serious right now because I really want to do this.
JUBEE
100%, you'd be a phenomenal character!
CHRISTINA
Who do you think I could be? 
JUBEE
Yeah that's what I'm trying to work out...because the first episode should definitely be your tester episode and then-
NOEL
Well should it? Would you maybe just say eff you to the viewers and leave her on? Because if we just leave her on we could probably film over the summer and cut out all the airfare.
JUBEE
Ooo I like that. But do you think we could really write 10 episodes before the summer is over?
NOEL
Oh yeah...we haven't even gotten started.
CHRISTINA
You should probably run this by your directors and producers...
JUBEE
Nah they'll just be happy that we're getting the band back together, plus one new add on. (JUBEE winks at CHRISTINA she smiles and NOEL cuts in)
NOEL
This is really exciting. We better start writing on the plane back home. I don't even know what your character will be!

I MIGHT BE ON THE MIGHTY BOOSH!?!? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?? 

I haven't even thought about it really, but I am freakin' excited.
