It´s a great way to start, isnt it? Sandefjord Welcome!

We will meet Thor Werner Andersen.
-
Yes, we don´t know that much about him,
I guess he is at the town square.
-
He is stallholder who sell buttons and balloons,
everything that´s fun for fun for young and old.
-
- And he is character.
- He is quite a character.
-
We don´t know where the square is.
-
Let´s just go and find him.
-
A really good plan. You are so goal oriented.
-
Well, you know me...
-
Vegard is the older one of us. He is the one who...
-
Are you from Sandefjord? It looks like you are.
-
Do you know I guy named Thor who sells buttons and...
-
You can´t scratch your willie on TV.
-
Excuse me? Are you from here?
-
"I don´t understand what you are saying you fool."
-
"Don´t talk to my wife."
-
You don´t understand? Okay.
-
Nice french man, that one.
-
According to the description, he will be right around this corner.
-
- I think he is over there.
- There.
-
- I think we got him right over there.
- He is on the phone.
-
- Bye. Now they are coming.
- Now we are coming!
-
- Is it Thor Werner?
- It certainly is.
-
THE STALLHOLDER
-
That´s good.
-
- You look so happy.
- It looks like you were ready for us to come.
-
Based on your clothes it looks like you are going to hit me...
-
... but based on your face it looks like I´m going to get a hug.
-
But you will get a hug!
-
Tell as a bit about your stall.
-
I started in 1983, but then I just had this little camping table. Nothing more than a camping table.
-
- But it has grown since then?
- Yes.
-
- In 19...87, at Christmas I got a cart.
- You been doing this for a while...
-
And then... I had that one to 1992 when I bought an old caravan, Sprite Alpin from 1970.
-
I rebuilt that one too and had that one for a while, to 1992...or it was 1992 i got it.
-
I rebuilt it during Christmas in 1992. And in 1993 I rebuilt it even more and it got better.
-
And then I had it for four or five years.
-
And in 1997... or 1996... no, 1997 i sold the old caravan and built this booth.
-
Nice. What do you sell here then?
-
- All kinds of things.
- You have to show us.
-
Look here. Some trinkets and small things.
-
And take a look at these. I like to sell these products.
-
- Hi!
-
-Hi!
-Hi, there.
-
Hi!
-
Am I supposed to answer?
-
What kind of rascals are these?
-
Eeeh, I don´t know...
-
What kind of person is Thor Werner to hang around with?
-
Well... He´s like most people, but maybe a bit special. He expresses his opinions.
-
- About what, for example?
- About traffic, for example.
-
About traffic for example?
-
People who don´t stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. That makes me so mad!
-
What do you think about that?
-
Idiot! I do like this to the car.
-
- To the car?
- Yes.
-
- But you will damage the car then.
- That´s not my problem.
-
Are you a Christian, or what?
-
Yes, it happened in... December 1995.
-
- Just like that?
- Just like that, yes.
-
Did you use to be a bit of a bad guy before?
-
I was humble before too.
-
But did you have much to answer to when you converted to Christianity?
-
- No.
- You didn´t?
-
- All was forgiven!
- Yes, was there much to forgive?
-
- All was forgiven, when I converted.
- Like what?
-
- What kind of things?
- Everything you can think of.
-
I have been put in front of these inhuman choices.
-
Either I kill a child, a cat, a dog or a pedestrian at a crossing or get hit from behind and get killed myself.
-
- What do you choose?
- What should I choose?
-
I do like this when I drive.
-
- To ask them to keep a distance.
- Okay.
-
- Cause you...
- And then I hit the brakes.
-
- Yes, cause you are...
- A long distance from the crossing.
-
- Are you done for today?
- I guess I am.
-
- Then we can help you to put everything in order.
- Would you like to do that?
-
Sure, of course we do.
-
Like this. It´s funny. It will never stop being funny.
-
Rascals...
-
People have fun with these, don´t they?
-
- What are you doing?
- Ups, sorry...
-
Rascals...
-
You little bastard! Watch out!
-
Thanks a lot for having us!
-
- Thanks!
- Hit him.
-
You could come to Bergen and check out our traffic some day!
-
- Yes.
- Okay, take care!
-
- Take care for now.
- Take care.
-
- We have visited Thor Werner.
- He is a free spirit.
-
He is a free spirit and he is a really good guy.
-
- That fucking bastard destroyed our shoot ...
- He didn´t destroy it, he just...Let's continue.
-
He is more focused on traffic rules than the average person.
-
He had not been happy about that!
-
No he wouldn't. He would hate that and he would´ve kicked the car as hard as he could.
-
- And he liked to play a lot.
- He liked to play a lot and do like this:
-
Oh, that one hurt bad...
-
It didn´t. He is just acting for the camera.
