Needless to say, it wasn't very nice
Time to don your Friday jeans and get ready for some trust games: we’re going on a company away day. However, this being the blighted Waystar Royco, things aren’t quite as simple as kicking back with a lukewarm beer and a group free-association session.
Wait though, aren’t Matsson and co. Swedish? Then why is their chosen retreat in the fjords of Norway? Luckily, Tom’s on hand to explain the Scandi location confusion: “Norway? Sweden? What’s the difference? They’re all descended from the same rapists.”Succession. But amid the stunning, sprawling background of Norway’s finest natural vistas, there’s more vicious barbs going on here than an actual Viking takeover.
After clapping eyes on Cousin Greg and learning who he is, Matsson says, in English: “There’s more of them? Wait, are you all related?” before switching into Swedish with his colleagues. “We’ve ended up at one big incestuous family convention!” he says, then the bearded guy quips that Greg is “two-metres of nepotism” and “the Habsburg giant”, a reference, FYI, to the 15th Century royal family of Austria, who were such fans of inbreeding that their offspring became increasingly deformed.
“Are you done?” asks Kendall. “Or, I dunno, maybe it’s funnier with subtitles?” Yes, it definitely is. Might be worth getting on DuoLingo for a few choice retorts in Swedish of your own for the next Waystar Royco-GoJo conflab, Kendall.
