45.
ELLE (hesitates) Not married, but I have a very kind boyfriend.
Elle hands over a small gift to Ant-Ovla from her fund: a model oil drilling rig; gold with diamonds spelling “New Norway”. Ant-Ovla hands Elle a return gift. ANT-OVLA If you'd have been married, you wouldn't get a return gift. It's a small bottle that contains suspicious-looking white powder. Cocaine? Elle smiles. HAAKON BJARLAND Perhaps we should arrest you now in front of everyone? Ant-Ovla chuckles. Elle examines the bottle, opens it and smells. She puts her hands over her head so they form the antlers of a powerful reindeer bull. ELLE Sami power! ANT-OVLA (laughs) Northern lights and reindeer antler powder. Better for your sex life than cocaine. HAAKON BJARLAND No! That only works in China. Elle laughs and shows a few more power reindeer bull poses. Haakon puts his hand on her back. ANT-OVLA (to Elle) If you ever need my help, count on me. Ant-Ovla shifts his focus to some other prominent person who seeks his attention. HAAKON BJARLAND (whispers to Elle) Hooked. Wonderful work.
