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. ❤️

i watched skam s3 for the first time when i was 14. i watched it live and cried over the updates in the middle of APHUG and forced all my friends to watch it. i got diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 17. rewatching the season now, seven years later, four years after my diagnosis, finally understanding exactly why even’s character meant so much to me has me crying harder than i ever did avoiding geography homework. mental health representation matters so so much.

Okay finally, Nipples gets her own story! And we get to see our favorite students through the eyes of their teacher. Today's story "Nipples Joins the Club" is by @vmcgmidlifecrisis with art by @alterlove2021!
midlifecrisis: What inspired this story?
Lets be real, I am far too old to be one of the kids in Skam. I would be Nipples. And I wanted her to be happy.
alterlove2021: What inspires you about this story?
This one is for all the teachers in the skam fandom. There is a lot more of us than you might imagine. The concept is absolutely brilliant, watching Isak, Even, Sana and the others through the lens of their teacher and how it impacts her and her own journey. Aren't we all Nipples?
The 2023 Skam Big Bang starts posting June 21st!
