"Social workers are to help people in need, not destroy our society." "If the reasons for people's need is the capitalistic system, then it's our task to crush capitalism." "Those are the conclusions I'd like you to avoid." "We should do as in Stockholm and Paris, control our own education." "Why read things we can't control?" "Your curriculum is democratic." "In a middle class democracy students should be able to vote against it." "That would be a true exercise in direct democracy." "I'd call it a coup d'état." "Tell me, comrades." "Who'd like to abolish the bourgeois curriculum?" "Thank you, thank you." "OK, let's say on the 18th." "I'm nervous by the thought of it." "Don't worry." "You'll get the contract." "Karl-Magnus is very fond of you." "Do you know that?" "A pity you can't sing your own songs" "Show him that he's wrong about that." "I'll have to do something." "There they are!" "What's this?" "A secret meeting?" "I have a gig." "Good!" "When?" "On the 18th..." "Styrbjörn, put in a gig for me, too." "Rehearse with your band." "We'll see." "No advantages for an old friend." "OK, give me a few weeks." "I'll fix a new band." "A new band?" "Why?" "What about the Heartbreakers?" "They're no good, I kicked them out." "Did you want anything?" "I'm busy." "Yeah." " Just a minute." "Do you want to buy it?" "Won't you need it for your new band?" "Yes, but I need money." "Can I borrow from you?" "How much do you need?" "200-300." "Take this." "Thanks." "I'll give it back to you next week, on Tuesday." "Don't sell that mike to anyone else." " Lena, let's sign the papers." "I'm gonna have a beer." "Wanna come?" "Yes, I'll just..." "Did you talk to Erik?" "No." "I haven't been to see him." "How is he?" "He's OK." "I think he's enjoying it." "He's become a national hero." "I miss you." "I miss you, too." "I was so sad when you left." "You know that." "What happened?" "What do you mean "happened"?" "In America?" "Nothing." "Wait..." "You know, that will kill all the beauty inside of you." "Which is...?" "Are you leaving?" "Yes." "You have a visitor, Wästfeldt." "I've discussed your future with your mother." "I should have been there." "I don't really know how to put this but..." "Mom wants you to move out." "Luckily a two-room flat in our house at Engelbrektsgatan is free." "I've persuaded Alice to let you have it." "Did you threaten her with your Luger?" "But as for the loan, your mother thinks that..." "It doesn't matter." "I don't want her money." "You can tell her that." "I'll make it on my own." "You won't have to." "I'll talk to her again." "If I had the money there'd be no problem, you know that." "But everything will be fine when you're out of here." "Well, I have to leave now." "Dad..." "The camels have water in their stomachs." "I have only sausages in my stomach." "I know." "Yes, only sausages..." "You have no bell round your neck." "The camel has one." "I'm getting so tired." "You're tired?" "Let's go to bed." "Tommy was here today." "He wanted to borrow money again." "I hardly recognize him any more." "I'm worried about him." "Can't you...go home to him and talk a little with him." "Never!" "I'm worried something'll happen to him." "I think he drinks a lot." "Ingvar, we have to try to help him." "I said no!" "Tommy..." "Take your stand!" "Support the FNL." "Others make records with political texts, too." " Support the FNL." "Yes, but Polyfon is one of the biggest company in Scandinavia." "If I make a record with them anything could happen." "Do what you want, but I won't be there." "I have other things to do than to see you on stage behaving like a whore." "Oh, hello!" "How are you?" "Good." "And you?" "Good." "It's about Czechoslovakia and all the other revolutionary countries." "FIGHT THE AMERICAN IMPERIALISM" "I'll skip my sociology course." "You're joking?" "I'm fed up with studying." "I want to do something real." "Join the revolutionary Communists." "Are you serious?" "Absolutely!" "So you're joining Stalin's fan club?" "I don't give a shit about Stalin." "They act!" "They're angry!" "And I'm angry, too!" "Fucking angry!" "I know." "I'm playing at Cue on Friday." "Will you be there?" "Sure!" "Not good, right?" "No." "Let go of me!" "Let go!" "Do you know who I am?" "I don't give a fuck." "You won't come in here!" "Tell this nobody who I am." "Tell him to let me in." "Let him go." "What are you up to?" "Ask him." "He won't let me in." "Of course he won't!" "You're high." "What?" "!" "I'm not!" "I'm sorry, Tommy, you won't get in here tonight." "You're joking." "You can't be high here." "I'll take care of him." "I don't want junkies." "Who do you call a junkie?" "I'm not a fool, you know!" "I know what you're doing in the loo." "I don't know what you're on about." "The toilet is all bloody, just like last Friday." "Styrbjörn..." "You're a fucking junkie." "Styrbjörn, you can shove your club up your ass!" "You should get help." "I can't do anything for you." "I feel sorry for you, Tommy." "Do that to an old buddy?" "!" "Maybe it's because he likes you." "That's a funny way to show that!" "Now I'm missing Lena's gig and all." "Maybe you don't want any help?" "Help?" "Not from him anyway." "What are you on?" "Nothing." "ls it Amphetamine?" "Yes." "But I don't inject it." "I drink it or snuff it up." "I'm scared stiff of syringes." "No way!" "I don't believe you." "You're not scared of syringes, I stitched you up after the Cue-riots." "You talked about The Who and found it cool to have been beaten." "You aren't scared of injections." "But I am." "I hate them." "I can't stand them." "Hey..." "Wait!" "Let's meet tomorrow and talk." "I work night, I get off at four." "Shall I put Göran on the guest list?" "No, he's not coming." "Are you nervous?" "Good." "It's normal when you play to get a contract." "Let's say you're on in ten minutes." "Good luck." "And keep a low profile about politics." "Good evening." "Welcome, everybody." "We have a good orchestra tonight." "But first of all give a hand to a great artist..." "Lena Lindblom." "Hi, everybody." "Hi!" "As you can see I wear my "Dylanmask" today." "I'll begin with a new song that I've written." "A love song." "I'm sorry." "A person in here asked me to keep a low profile about politics." "To make it easier for me to get a recording contract." "But, you know, I'm no jukebox, so I say thanks for me." "What the hell are you doing?" "I can't sell myself." "Admit that the music you prefer has nothing to do with politics." "You have no idea..." "You've waited for this chance." "And now you just throw it away?" "What should I have done?" "Sold myself?" "!" "If I follow my conscience I'll have a second chance." "Might be the difference between you and me..." "People like you always get a second chance." "What are you doing?" "I'm drinking." "Did I say you could drink?" "Did I say you could leave your seat?" "I was thirsty." "What's that?" "Heroin." "I can't afford heroin." "I want amp." "I've run out of amp." "I'll have more tomorrow." "I don't want any more." "I'm quitting." "You always say that." "I'm serious this time." "This is the last time you see me." "I just need something to phase out." "I'm sorry, Tommy, I have no more Amphetamine." "What the fuck is this?" "You can see that this isn't enough, can't you?" "What the hell, Tommy?" "Please..." "What?" "Take the shit and scram!" "See you tomorrow." "You're talking shit." "Can you be quiet?" "Hi." "Hi." "You wanna join?" "You could have told me." "Tommy..." "Hello!" "Can someone call an ambulance!" "Hello!"
