00:37:56,170 --> 00:37:57,551
Be careful of my brother.

550
00:38:51,674 --> 00:38:53,331
King Harald is in love with you.

551
00:38:55,194 --> 00:38:56,334
I know.

552
00:38:59,889 --> 00:39:01,062
Did he tell you?

553
00:39:02,236 --> 00:39:04,342
Yes.

554
00:39:04,376 --> 00:39:07,172
He has told me that
we are fated to be together.

555
00:39:07,206 --> 00:39:08,207
BJORN: Mmm.

556
00:39:10,278 --> 00:39:11,694
Do you really believe that?

557
00:39:13,730 --> 00:39:16,595
Who knows our fate? Do you?

558
00:39:21,048 --> 00:39:23,257
He still wants to be
King of Norway.

559
00:39:24,396 --> 00:39:26,502
Ah.

560
00:39:26,536 --> 00:39:29,367
And it seems he puts
the highest value on love.

561
00:39:30,885 --> 00:39:33,267
He is a man who always
wants to be in love.

562
00:39:36,304 --> 00:39:40,550
I would like to have his heart
instead of mine.

563
00:39:41,965 --> 00:39:43,242
Why do you say that?

564
00:39:44,071 --> 00:39:46,418
Well, I've had many women.

565
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:48,731
But I am not sure
I have ever been in love.

566
00:39:50,802 --> 00:39:52,700
And you are not in love with me?

567
00:39:52,735 --> 00:39:53,805
Ah, I don't know.

568
00:39:55,841 --> 00:39:57,567
I think about you all the time.

569
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,883
When I am thinking about
something else

570
00:40:02,917 --> 00:40:04,229
and then
I think about you again.

571
00:40:04,263 --> 00:40:05,748
And it happens day and night.

572
00:40:07,266 --> 00:40:08,613
Why are you telling me this?

573
00:40:09,786 --> 00:40:11,581
I don't know.
Perhaps I am in love.

574
00:40:16,862 --> 00:40:18,277
What if you don't love me?

575
00:40:19,693 --> 00:40:21,280
What if you love King Harald?

576
00:40:21,315 --> 00:40:23,110
He could make you
the Queen of Norway.

577
00:40:24,318 --> 00:40:26,044
I suppose he could try.

578
00:40:32,291 --> 00:40:34,121

580
00:40:39,022 --> 00:40:41,024
I am afraid to ask you
if you love me.

581
00:40:43,164 --> 00:40:45,615
You are one of the most
famous men in the world.

582
00:40:46,547 --> 00:40:47,997
And you're afraid of me?

583
00:40:51,725 --> 00:40:52,864
I am alone.

584
00:40:56,212 --> 00:40:58,214
Alone, naked, and afraid.

585
00:41:02,632 --> 00:41:03,909
You know something?

586
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:08,086
I respect you even more
for saying that.

587
00:41:11,641 --> 00:41:13,540
And I will take your words

588
00:41:13,574 --> 00:41:16,266
and lock them away
in my heart forever.

589
00:41:37,356 --> 00:41:38,599
Say it.

590
00:41:42,672 --> 00:41:43,777
Say it.

591
00:41:49,196 --> 00:41:50,508
Say it.

592
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:55,305
Say it.

593
00:41:59,551 --> 00:42:00,518
[SOFTLY] Say it.

594
00:42:02,036 --> 00:42:03,037
I love you.

595
00:42:03,762 --> 00:42:04,901
Yes.

596
00:42:21,228 --> 00:42:22,470
[WHISPERS] I love you.
