22
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.069
Hun trakk pusten dypt, forsøkte å fylle lungene med den
23
00:01:56.109 --> 00:02:00.109
friske luften og kvitte seg med nervene. Hun skulle ha
24
00:02:00.129 --> 00:02:04.829
sin første store rolle. Hun hadde drømt om dette øyeblikket
25
00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:08.699
så lenge hun kunne huske. Til tross for sin spenning
26
00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:13.639
visste Sofie at hun hadde et problem. Hennes mentor, Lars,
27
00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:17.990
hadde ikke vært støttende den siste tiden. Han hadde alltid
28
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.669
vært der for henne før, men nå virker han likegyldig.
29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.419
Han ga henne ikke de siste viktige rådene. Sofie visste
30
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.919
ikke hvorfor, men følte en uro i magen. Lars var
31
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.080
en anerkjent sanger med mange år bak seg. Han visste
32
00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:39.780
hva som krevdes for å dominere scenen. Sofie hadde alltid
33
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.219
sett opp til ham, men hun kunne ikke forstå hvorfor
34
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.120
han hadde trukket seg unna. I virkeligheten gjemte Lars en hemmelighet.
35
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.539
Han var missunnelig på Sofies talent, og fryktet at han
36
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.840
ville overskygge ham. Derfor hadde han latt være hjelpe henne.
37
00:02:57.219 --> 00:03:01.300
Med datoen for oppsetningen nærmet seg, bestemte Sofie seg for
38
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.379
å ta saken i egne hender. Hun kontaktet en annen
39
00:03:05.409 --> 00:03:10.550
erfaren sanger i ensemble, og spurte om hjelp. Sammen øvde
40
00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:14.729
de hver dag etter at prøvene var over. Sofie jobbet
41
00:03:14.770 --> 00:03:18.870
også hardt hjemme, alene foran speilet, og stort sett hele
42
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:22.870
tiden tenkte hun bare på forbedring. På den siste store
43
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:26.050
prøven før premieren stod Lars i kulissene og så på.
44
00:03:27.509 --> 00:03:31.729
Sofie skulle fremføre en krevende orie, en avsluttende delen hadde
45
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:36.990
friktet uten Lars, manglende veiledning. Hun tok plass på scenen,
46
00:03:37.349 --> 00:03:42.550
hjertet hamret hardt i brystet. Men idet musikken begynte, slappet
47
00:03:42.569 --> 00:03:46.270
hun av. Hun husket alle de små tingene hun hadde
48
00:03:46.310 --> 00:03:48.710
lært mens hun øvde selv og med en annen sanger.
49
00:03:50.189 --> 00:03:55.810
Sofies stemme fylte operahuset. Hun sang med lidenskap og sikkerhet.
50
00:03:57.289 --> 00:04:00.849
Da siste tone tonet ut, var den stillhet før appleisen
51
00:04:00.889 --> 00:04:06.050
brøt løs. Sofie så opp mot galleriet, hvor Lars sto stille.
52
00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:11.810
Han klappe også, og med litt motvillig. For første gang
53
00:04:11.909 --> 00:04:15.469
innså Lars at Sofies talent var ekte, hennes styrke kom
54
00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:21.110
fra hennes beslutsomhet og selvtillit. Etter forestillingen var Sofie omgitt
55
00:04:21.149 --> 00:04:27.550
av komplimenter. Hennes prestasjon var en suksess. Hun visste nå
56
00:04:27.629 --> 00:04:31.449
at hun kunne stole på seg selv. Lars gikk sakte
57
00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:35.060
mot henne, og til sin overraskelse bøyde han hodet lett.
58
00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:43.160
Bra jobbet, Sofie, sa han kort. Sofie smilte, takknemlig for
59
00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:47.379
alt han hadde lært, ikke minst om seg selv. Den kvelden,
60
00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:50.870
Men Sofie skålte med ensemble, så hun ut over en
61
00:04:50.949 --> 00:04:55.589
Oslo-opplys da høstlys. Den kalde luften kjente sig ikke like
62
00:04:55.610 --> 00:05:00.060
skarp nå. Hun hadde tross alt overvunnet både seg selv
63
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:03.279
og utfordringene, og det var kanskje den beste seien.
64
00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:07.399
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
65
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:08.079
may have missed.
66
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.139
Sofie stod på taket av Operahuset i Oslo, og så
67
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.500
ut over Oslofjorden.
68
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.959
Sophie stood on the roof of the opera huset in Oslo,
69
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:29.899
looking out over the Osloforden. It was a beautiful autumn day,
70
00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:32.110
and the trees glowed in red and orange.
71
00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:36.810
She took a deep breath, trying to fill her lungs
72
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.050
with the fresh.
73
00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:52.870
Air, and rid herself of the nerves. She was about
74
00:05:52.910 --> 00:06:01.720
to have her first big role. She had dreamed of
75
00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:03.740
this moment for as long as she could remember.
76
00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:16.970
Despite her excitement, Sophie knew she had a problem. Hennes mentor, Lars,
77
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:19.790
had ikke vært støttende den siste tiden.
78
00:06:21.550 --> 00:06:23.970
Her mentor, Lars, had not been supportive recently.
79
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:28.379
Han had alltid vært der for henne før, men nå
80
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.660
virker han likegyldig.
81
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.779
He had always been there for her before, but now
82
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.759
he seemed indifferent.
83
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.860
Han gav henne ikke de siste viktige rådene.
84
00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:43.170
He didn't give her the last important pieces of advice.
85
00:06:44.490 --> 00:06:52.810
Sofie didn't know why, but she felt a nod in
86
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:53.350
her stomach.
87
00:06:54.629 --> 00:06:57.129
Lars was a renowned singer with many years of experience.
88
00:06:57.149 --> 00:07:12.470
He knew what it took to dominate the stage. Sofie
89
00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:13.970
had always looked up to him, but she couldn't understand
90
00:07:14.009 --> 00:07:16.170
why he had withdrawn. In reality, Lars was hiding a secret.
91
00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:17.589
He was suspicious of Sofie's talent and feared that she
92
00:07:17.610 --> 00:07:18.589
would overshadow him.
93
00:07:40.569 --> 00:07:43.189
He was jealous of Sophie's talent and feared she would
94
00:07:43.230 --> 00:07:50.980
outshine him. Therefore, he had refrained from helping her.
95
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:57.579
With the date of the performance approaching, Sophie decided to
96
00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:08.629
take matters into her own hands. Hun kontaktet en annen
97
00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:12.209
erfaren sanger i ensemble og spurte om hjelp.
98
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:17.949
She contacted another experienced singer in the ensemble and asked
99
00:08:18.009 --> 00:08:18.370
for help.
100
00:08:19.670 --> 00:08:23.250
Sammen øvde de hver dag etter at prøvene var over.
101
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.180
Together they practiced every day after the rehearsals were over.
102
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.620
Sofie jobbet også hardt hjemme, alene foran speilet.
103
00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.659
Sophie also worked hard at home, alone in front of
104
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:45.169
the mirror, and most of the time she only thought
105
00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:45.970
about improvement.
106
00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:50.409
At the last major rehearsal before the premiere, Lars stood
107
00:08:50.590 --> 00:09:01.000
in the wings and watched. Sophie was to perform a
108
00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:04.000
challenging aria, a concluding part she had feared without Lars'
109
00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:05.840
missing guidance. She took her place on stage, her heart
110
00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:08.539
pounding hard in her chest. Men i det musikken begynte,
111
00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:30.889
slappet hun av.
112
00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:34.570
But as the music started, she relaxed.
113
00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:39.129
Hun husket alle de små tingene hun had lært mens
114
00:09:39.210 --> 00:09:41.629
hun øvde selv og med en annen sanger.
115
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:45.899
She remembered all the little things she had learned while
116
00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:48.139
practicing alone and with the other singer.
117
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.139
Sofie's stemme fylte operahuset.
118
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.639
Sofie's voice filled the opera house.
119
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.450
Hun sang med lidenskap og sikkerhet.
120
00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:12.860
She sang with passion and confidence. When the last note faded,
121
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.639
there was a silence before the applause broke out.
122
00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:20.919
Sofie saw up mot galleriet. hvor Lars stod stille.
123
00:10:22.769 --> 00:10:25.649
Sophie looked up towards the gallery, where Lars stood still.
124
00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:29.850
Han klappe også, og med litt motvillig.
125
00:10:31.570 --> 00:10:34.039
He clapped as well, albeit a bit reluctantly.
126
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.080
For første gang inså Lars at Sophie's talent var ekte.
127
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.539
Hennes styrke kom fra hennes beslutsomhet og selvtillit.
128
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.590
For the first time, Lars realized that Sophie's talent was real.
129
00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:52.269
Her strength came from her determination and self-confidence.
130
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.539
Efter forestillingen var Sofie omgitt av komplimenter.
131
00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:02.399
After the performance, Sofie was surrounded by compliments.
132
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.139
Hennes prestation var en suksess.
133
00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:09.309
Her performance was a success.
134
00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:13.629
Hun visste nå at hun kunne stole på sig selv.
135
00:11:15.529 --> 00:11:17.210
She now knew that she could trust herself.
136
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.440
Lars gikk sakte mot henne, og til sin overraskelse bøyde
137
00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:24.320
han hodet lett.
138
00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:29.159
Lars approached her slowly, and to her surprise he bowed
139
00:11:29.210 --> 00:11:29.990
his head slightly.
140
00:11:31.230 --> 00:11:35.070
Bra jobbet, Sofie, sa han kort.
141
00:11:36.990 --> 00:11:38.809
Well done, Sofie, he said shortly.
142
00:11:40.009 --> 00:11:45.000
Sofie smilte, takknemlig for alt han had lært, ikke minst
143
00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:45.700
om sig selv.
144
00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:51.250
Sophie smiled, grateful for everything she had learned, not least
145
00:11:51.289 --> 00:11:51.889
about herself.
146
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:56.690
That evening, as Sophie toasted with the ensemble, she looked
147
00:11:57.309 --> 00:11:58.929
out over Oslo illuminated by autumn lights. The cold air
148
00:11:58.950 --> 00:11:59.850
didn't feel as sharp now.
149
00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:29.419
After all, she had overcome both herself and the challenges,
150
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.620
and that was perhaps the best victory.
151
00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:42.049
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.

22
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.069
Hun trakk pusten dypt, forsøkte å fylle lungene med den
23
00:01:56.109 --> 00:02:00.109
friske luften og kvitte seg med nervene. Hun skulle ha
24
00:02:00.129 --> 00:02:04.829
sin første store rolle. Hun hadde drømt om dette øyeblikket
25
00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:08.699
så lenge hun kunne huske. Til tross for sin spenning
26
00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:13.639
visste Sofie at hun hadde et problem. Hennes mentor, Lars,
27
00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:17.990
hadde ikke vært støttende den siste tiden. Han hadde alltid
28
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.669
vært der for henne før, men nå virker han likegyldig.
29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.419
Han ga henne ikke de siste viktige rådene. Sofie visste
30
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.919
ikke hvorfor, men følte en uro i magen. Lars var
31
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.080
en anerkjent sanger med mange år bak seg. Han visste
32
00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:39.780
hva som krevdes for å dominere scenen. Sofie hadde alltid
33
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.219
sett opp til ham, men hun kunne ikke forstå hvorfor
34
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.120
han hadde trukket seg unna. I virkeligheten gjemte Lars en hemmelighet.
35
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.539
Han var missunnelig på Sofies talent, og fryktet at han
36
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.840
ville overskygge ham. Derfor hadde han latt være hjelpe henne.
37
00:02:57.219 --> 00:03:01.300
Med datoen for oppsetningen nærmet seg, bestemte Sofie seg for
38
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.379
å ta saken i egne hender. Hun kontaktet en annen
39
00:03:05.409 --> 00:03:10.550
erfaren sanger i ensemble, og spurte om hjelp. Sammen øvde
40
00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:14.729
de hver dag etter at prøvene var over. Sofie jobbet
41
00:03:14.770 --> 00:03:18.870
også hardt hjemme, alene foran speilet, og stort sett hele
42
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:22.870
tiden tenkte hun bare på forbedring. På den siste store
43
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:26.050
prøven før premieren stod Lars i kulissene og så på.
44
00:03:27.509 --> 00:03:31.729
Sofie skulle fremføre en krevende orie, en avsluttende delen hadde
45
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:36.990
friktet uten Lars, manglende veiledning. Hun tok plass på scenen,
46
00:03:37.349 --> 00:03:42.550
hjertet hamret hardt i brystet. Men idet musikken begynte, slappet
47
00:03:42.569 --> 00:03:46.270
hun av. Hun husket alle de små tingene hun hadde
48
00:03:46.310 --> 00:03:48.710
lært mens hun øvde selv og med en annen sanger.
49
00:03:50.189 --> 00:03:55.810
Sofies stemme fylte operahuset. Hun sang med lidenskap og sikkerhet.
50
00:03:57.289 --> 00:04:00.849
Da siste tone tonet ut, var den stillhet før appleisen
51
00:04:00.889 --> 00:04:06.050
brøt løs. Sofie så opp mot galleriet, hvor Lars sto stille.
52
00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:11.810
Han klappe også, og med litt motvillig. For første gang
53
00:04:11.909 --> 00:04:15.469
innså Lars at Sofies talent var ekte, hennes styrke kom
54
00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:21.110
fra hennes beslutsomhet og selvtillit. Etter forestillingen var Sofie omgitt
55
00:04:21.149 --> 00:04:27.550
av komplimenter. Hennes prestasjon var en suksess. Hun visste nå
56
00:04:27.629 --> 00:04:31.449
at hun kunne stole på seg selv. Lars gikk sakte
57
00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:35.060
mot henne, og til sin overraskelse bøyde han hodet lett.
58
00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:43.160
Bra jobbet, Sofie, sa han kort. Sofie smilte, takknemlig for
59
00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:47.379
alt han hadde lært, ikke minst om seg selv. Den kvelden,
60
00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:50.870
Men Sofie skålte med ensemble, så hun ut over en
61
00:04:50.949 --> 00:04:55.589
Oslo-opplys da høstlys. Den kalde luften kjente sig ikke like
62
00:04:55.610 --> 00:05:00.060
skarp nå. Hun hadde tross alt overvunnet både seg selv
63
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:03.279
og utfordringene, og det var kanskje den beste seien.
64
00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:07.399
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
65
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:08.079
may have missed.
66
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.139
Sofie stod på taket av Operahuset i Oslo, og så
67
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.500
ut over Oslofjorden.
68
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.959
Sophie stood on the roof of the opera huset in Oslo,
69
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:29.899
looking out over the Osloforden. It was a beautiful autumn day,
70
00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:32.110
and the trees glowed in red and orange.
71
00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:36.810
She took a deep breath, trying to fill her lungs
72
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.050
with the fresh.
73
00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:52.870
Air, and rid herself of the nerves. She was about
74
00:05:52.910 --> 00:06:01.720
to have her first big role. She had dreamed of
75
00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:03.740
this moment for as long as she could remember.
76
00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:16.970
Despite her excitement, Sophie knew she had a problem. Hennes mentor, Lars,
77
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:19.790
had ikke vært støttende den siste tiden.
78
00:06:21.550 --> 00:06:23.970
Her mentor, Lars, had not been supportive recently.
79
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:28.379
Han had alltid vært der for henne før, men nå
80
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.660
virker han likegyldig.
81
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.779
He had always been there for her before, but now
82
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.759
he seemed indifferent.
83
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.860
Han gav henne ikke de siste viktige rådene.
84
00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:43.170
He didn't give her the last important pieces of advice.
85
00:06:44.490 --> 00:06:52.810
Sofie didn't know why, but she felt a nod in
86
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:53.350
her stomach.
87
00:06:54.629 --> 00:06:57.129
Lars was a renowned singer with many years of experience.
88
00:06:57.149 --> 00:07:12.470
He knew what it took to dominate the stage. Sofie
89
00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:13.970
had always looked up to him, but she couldn't understand
90
00:07:14.009 --> 00:07:16.170
why he had withdrawn. In reality, Lars was hiding a secret.
91
00:07:16.189 --> 00:07:17.589
He was suspicious of Sofie's talent and feared that she
92
00:07:17.610 --> 00:07:18.589
would overshadow him.
93
00:07:40.569 --> 00:07:43.189
He was jealous of Sophie's talent and feared she would
94
00:07:43.230 --> 00:07:50.980
outshine him. Therefore, he had refrained from helping her.
95
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:57.579
With the date of the performance approaching, Sophie decided to
96
00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:08.629
take matters into her own hands. Hun kontaktet en annen
97
00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:12.209
erfaren sanger i ensemble og spurte om hjelp.
98
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:17.949
She contacted another experienced singer in the ensemble and asked
99
00:08:18.009 --> 00:08:18.370
for help.
100
00:08:19.670 --> 00:08:23.250
Sammen øvde de hver dag etter at prøvene var over.
101
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.180
Together they practiced every day after the rehearsals were over.
102
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.620
Sofie jobbet også hardt hjemme, alene foran speilet.
103
00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.659
Sophie also worked hard at home, alone in front of
104
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:45.169
the mirror, and most of the time she only thought
105
00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:45.970
about improvement.
106
00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:50.409
At the last major rehearsal before the premiere, Lars stood
107
00:08:50.590 --> 00:09:01.000
in the wings and watched. Sophie was to perform a
108
00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:04.000
challenging aria, a concluding part she had feared without Lars'
109
00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:05.840
missing guidance. She took her place on stage, her heart
110
00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:08.539
pounding hard in her chest. Men i det musikken begynte,
111
00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:30.889
slappet hun av.
112
00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:34.570
But as the music started, she relaxed.
113
00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:39.129
Hun husket alle de små tingene hun had lært mens
114
00:09:39.210 --> 00:09:41.629
hun øvde selv og med en annen sanger.
115
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:45.899
She remembered all the little things she had learned while
116
00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:48.139
practicing alone and with the other singer.
117
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.139
Sofie's stemme fylte operahuset.
118
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.639
Sofie's voice filled the opera house.
119
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.450
Hun sang med lidenskap og sikkerhet.
120
00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:12.860
She sang with passion and confidence. When the last note faded,
121
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.639
there was a silence before the applause broke out.
122
00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:20.919
Sofie saw up mot galleriet. hvor Lars stod stille.
123
00:10:22.769 --> 00:10:25.649
Sophie looked up towards the gallery, where Lars stood still.
124
00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:29.850
Han klappe også, og med litt motvillig.
125
00:10:31.570 --> 00:10:34.039
He clapped as well, albeit a bit reluctantly.
126
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.080
For første gang inså Lars at Sophie's talent var ekte.
127
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.539
Hennes styrke kom fra hennes beslutsomhet og selvtillit.
128
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.590
For the first time, Lars realized that Sophie's talent was real.
129
00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:52.269
Her strength came from her determination and self-confidence.
130
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.539
Efter forestillingen var Sofie omgitt av komplimenter.
131
00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:02.399
After the performance, Sofie was surrounded by compliments.
132
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.139
Hennes prestation var en suksess.
133
00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:09.309
Her performance was a success.
134
00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:13.629
Hun visste nå at hun kunne stole på sig selv.
135
00:11:15.529 --> 00:11:17.210
She now knew that she could trust herself.
136
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.440
Lars gikk sakte mot henne, og til sin overraskelse bøyde
137
00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:24.320
han hodet lett.
138
00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:29.159
Lars approached her slowly, and to her surprise he bowed
139
00:11:29.210 --> 00:11:29.990
his head slightly.
140
00:11:31.230 --> 00:11:35.070
Bra jobbet, Sofie, sa han kort.

142
00:11:40.009 --> 00:11:45.000
Sofie smilte, takknemlig for alt han had lært, ikke minst

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:45.700
om sig selv.
144
00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:51.250

about herself.
146
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:56.690
That evening, as Sophie toasted with the ensemble, she looked
147
00:11:57.309 --> 00:11:58.929
out over Oslo illuminated by autumn lights. The cold air
148
00:11:58.950 --> 00:11:59.850
didn't feel as sharp now.
149
00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:29.419
After all, she had overcome both herself and the challenges,
150
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.620
and that was perhaps the best victory.
