Kollektivet: The Good Story

The story of a man who enjoys telling stories, embellishing them as he goes along.
But when people can get their hands on some real facts 24/7 through their phones, what will happen to the story then?

Tord: "It was my grandfather alone who planned to do all the most important things during the Tungtvannsaksjon in Rjukan."
(Infamous Norwegian Resistance Operation during WW2 that the Germans didn’t see coming)

           A man full of good stories




Tord: "During World War 2, my grandfather flew F-16 and got the Iron Cross 1st Class."

                                  based very loosely on facts

Teacher: "The answer on the last question was of course,
                  The Eidsvoll-men in 1814"
           (By who and when was the Norwegian constitution written?)
Tord: "Yes, that’s what a lot of people think is correct. But it was in reality,
              The Åndalsnes-men in 1813. All of which I am related."

                       but one little gadget would ruin everything

Tord: "So it was the grandmother of Greta Sølvi Garbo who shot Abe Lincoln."
Pål: "Eh, no. That’s incorrect. I’ve got this fact-site on my phone, because I’ve gotten something called Wapp. And it says here that it was John Wilkes Booth that killed Abe Lincoln."

Tord: "My grandfather, Jostein Sivertsen was one of the co-painters behind the painting “The Bridal journey in Hardanger”."
Pål: "It says here, that it was Tidemann and Gude."
Tord: "Yes, well I meant the painting “Sick girl”."
Pål: "That was Much."
Tord: "I meant “Wing-flapping geese"."
Pål: "That was Tom St…."
Tord: "Fuck! What a horridly fast tempo you got on that wapp-net of yours, Pål!"

                         when good advice was hard to come by

                                       (in the bunkers)
Tord: "Welcome. How nice of you to attend my party in this bunkers, which has incredibly bad internet-reception. But I can tell you that this bunkers was built in the year 20 BC by Lill Babs and Hedda Gabriel."
Pål: "On Wikipedia, it says it was built in 1932."
Tord: "You brought your wapp?! How can you possibly get wapp down here?!"
Pål: "4-G, it’s arrived to, everyone in Oslo has 4-G now. Reception everywhere."

Pål: "No, Atle Skorva was not the first man on the moon."
       "No, Tord, it was the 11th of September 2001."

Pål: "No, Ingrid Bjørnhov wasn’t only a comedian per se. According to Wikipedia, she was more an anecdote-telling pianist…."
Tord: "What the bloody fuck?! Do you have access to all kinds of informations all the fucking time?!!"
Tord: "How is it even supposed to be possible to tell just one good story, when that bloody shit has every fucking piece of information???!!!!!"
Pål: "Jesus Christ, you sound exactly like Kim Jung-Un!"
Tord: "Who’s that?"
Pål: "You can check on Wikipedia with…."
Tord: "YOU can tell me!! WITH YOUR OWN WORDS, Pål!!"
Pål: "Kim Jung-Un is dictator in North-Korea, and there both the internet and facts are illegal."
                                                (departures)
Tord: "You’ve sabotaged me for the last time!"

                                             The Good Story

                                                (in North-Korea)
Tord: "The Hamburger was invented by my grandfather."
North-Korean Guy: "No, no, no. Everybody knows the hamburger was invented by our former great leader, Kim Jung-Il!"
