Bård 'buys' a star

Bård sighs and looks to the sky, when he first reads the task brief.

In the studio, he gives Atle a flat package. From the way it’s wrapped, you can tell that it’s something framed.

Bård says that he wanted to give Atle something that would last, and be more meaningful than a regular gift. It’s revealed that he has ‘bought’ Atle a star, named 'Atlas Antonias'.

Atle says that it’s a fun gift, but points out that the company that ‘sells’ the stars doesn’t actually own them.

Bård backpedals and says that as the company owns the registration system, the star is registered in Atle’s name – with the added detail of the registration date being on Atle’s birthday.

He also tries to appeal to Atle by saying that he has had fun with his kids by knowing that they are looking up at Atlas Antonias together, but Atle claims that he has no joy left to appreciate such a thing.

He awards Bård fourth place for his attempt.
