"Stockings made of nylon." "Nylon stockings." "Thanks." "That's what Yank parachutes are made of" "Jesus!" "It's like sandpaper round the things, women aren't so dumb." "Think about it:" "Where do wool stockings come from?" "The ones that warm ladies' legs in winter?" "It comes from curly little lambs" "And shoes, where're they from" "From cow." "Yes." "Mooo, that's it." "Cows:" "Milk under their bellies and leather on their backs, and they say moo." "And let's not forget the hard-working little silkworm." "The slant-eyed workhorse from China." "A silent character, certainly but it works and struggles by the sweat of its brow." "Not to mention cotton, which grows in the fields of Alabama and waves in the wind." "All these materials, what do they have in common?" "Well, they come from...?" "From abroad." "But we have lambs and cows in Sweden, for God's sake, Stig." "No they come from..." "From nature?" "Of course." "They move." "Move, make noises well, not all of them." "Run and play when young." "Silkworms don't run..." "They lie in a cocoon when they're young." "Yeah, sure, but the rest:" "Wool, leather..." "They run around and dance and play when they're young." "Moo, baa..." "And where does nylon come from?" "Oily machines in the Pentagon." "On top of all that, it's a dumb product." "Nylon has no voice." "It's not just unnatural, it's... an abomination." "It is misbegotten, it's worse than that, worse." "It is, it is..." "An anomaly."

"Stop it, boys" "Jesus Christ!" "What does the stocking say?" "You don't have to explain, if you don't insist on it." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Swedish or English?" "You must speak it perfectly by now." "Explanation, the young man asks?" "But can the husband keep calm?" "There are certain things that shouldn't be in a certain place at a certain time." "A lady's garter, for example." "On top of everything:" "Violet." "Where should it not be," "When the old salesman comes home after a week on the road?" "In the back seat of his car." "If it happens to be there, who should definitely not find it?" "His wife, of course." "The wrong thing, wrong wrong finder, wrong time." "Well, he sells ladies underwear." "Couldn't the garter have come from his sample collection?" "No." "No?" "No, it couldn't." "It was in fact used." "What an idiot!" "That garter cost me a son." "Nothing could repair that." "One week after the wedding." "And also, violet, the colour of sin." "Of course, booze was to blame." "You don't know what you do, what you did, what you should do."

"And so I called them courting canailleries, scoundrels." "Scoundrels who were just after my father's money" "And when Frank came, you should have seen my aunts' faces." "He brought fresh air into the salons, they couldn't stand that." "But I got air and could begin to breathe." "But that air is used up now." "Shouldn't you let your hostage go?" "Why don't you divorce?" "He must have someone to come home to, even if I'm not here." "You've seen it yourself, otherwise he'll sink down." "Are you sure of that?" "I know where to buy cheap condoms." "Oh yeah." "If you buy five hundred, you get them for half price." "What do you want 500 condoms for?" "You have no use for one." "Advance planning." "Like, if you fuck 3 times a day, then you will use them up in less than 6 months." "But you don't fuck 3 times a day." "Only rabbits do, and they don't need condoms." "Nobody is forcing you to buy."

"Why is it too late?" "Go down in the cellar and you'll see." "You mean you've...?" "Remember that batch of wool pants?" "Yes, on Lundavagen." "Suspiciously cheap." "You bought it?" "I couldn't resist at the price." "Was it a big batch?" "Barely room in the cellar." "So you rented the neighbours' cellar," "Anderbjorks?" "Christ no, it was full!" "Whose cellar, Frank?" "I'm thinking about the price" "You couldn't rent...?" "Yes, the Goat's." "Not the Goat's..." "Yes, the Goat." "But that's not all." "No?" "Another bargain-price batch?" "Yes, but not wool."

"You can offer me the truth." "You know she's lying." "She lies like hell." "Talk to her, Frank, or Kjell, or whatever the hell you've called." "You don't..." "It doesn't have to be official, but you must talk to her." "Can't you do something when I...?" "But you'll do anything to creep to that pussy once a year, right?" "There's nothing left."
