"I paid 23 000 for it." "It's their best sideboard, I think." "It's dark jacaranda and nice thin metal legs." "Great details on the whole." "On Monday, but I'll leave it at the theatre until my flat is ready." "Or it'll just get ruined." "You know... painters." "Coffe and a Brownie." "28 crowns." "What a bargain." "Situation Stockholm!" "Buy Situation Stockholm!" "Have a nice day..." "TRUST ME don't think so." "t says this address." "Hi." "Katja." "What's this all about?" "t's some sideboard." "To be delivered at this address." "We haven't ordered a sideboard." "But it's the right address." "See for yourself." "t's actually for Monday but we won't take shit for delivering it earlier." "Jesus, it's impossible to read this scrawl." "Anyhow, it's a mistake." "Maybe someone else ordered it." "'m in charge here and should know." "We can't fucking take it back." "Does he have to swear?" "Can't we just put it there until you know who ordered it?" "So it'll just remain there?" "Katja!" "Katja!" "Now, what?" "No way!" "won't take it back." "Katja, the programs are here." "A whole box from the printers." "Let's leave it there until Monday and you can check later." "We can't have things standing here." " won't drive to and fro..." "Please, come and have a look." "OK, leave it there." " Show me..." ""You have to do it." "Otherwise you cant go on living." "You'll realize..." "You'll realize that everything 've said is true." "You'll realize that time has passed you." "That's life." "You'll never catch up with time." "Time is like a shadow that is always chasing you, breathing down your neck." "That's... time."" "Hello." "Hi." "Just wondering if can borrow the iron." "Katja said it was here." "Sure, you can take it." "Thanks, great." "won't keep it long." "Thanks, Sebastian." "Call me Seb, all my friends do." "OK." "t's my dress... t's so..." "Well, it needs fixing... ironing." "Has anyone told you that you have very beautiful eyes?" "Excuse me?" "t's such an unusual colour." "Thanks." "Bye." "So... there you are." "And you!" "just wanted to check that everything is all right." "And also want to be certain that the rent will be paid." "t will be." "That you have the means..." "We'll present a new show in two weeks time, so don't you worry." "You were late on several occasions." "Twice, once 'cause we had no advice." "Well, being the owner, think 'm entitled to worry about the rents." "We're not talking big sums here..." "diot..." "Well, is it Chekhov, or...?" "s it anything familiar?" "Why Chekhov?" "Because he's a man?" "We produce our own material." "am the writer." "So Chekhov won't do..." "Well, must be off." "have other things to do." "By the way, 'm away this weekend so the showers will have to wait." "We can't work without showers!" "The one in here is OK." "Use that one." "The whole group?" "!" "One shower for a whole ensemble?" "!" "Not my fault that the other one is broken." "You shower too often." "Maybe you'll cool down a bit if you have to share..." "Thanks." "And one more thing... don't want to have to repeat that smoking is forbidden in the premises." "That should be obvious to you." "Anything else?" "That's all for now." "See you soon." "Not if it's up to me..." "Work all week and rehearse during the weekend." "Why do do this?" "You're a naive actor dreaming of being seen." "Yeah!" "knew had forgotten something." "Alex..." "What are you doing?" "Lay off now..." "Oh, it's you?" "Sorry 'm late." "There was so much to do at work." " phoned." "Now 've got to go." "'m sorry." "Mom invites us to dinner on Thursday." "don't know if can on Thursday, might have to work late..." "You have to come." "can't stand being alone with her." "get depressed after five minutes with her." "t might work. 'll really try." "Promise... phoned last night." "Your cellphone was off." "was charging it." "must go." "f 'm late, the others will start thinking they can be late, too." "'m leaving." "Bye." "Hey, bought a sideboard!" "s it OK to leave it here until my flat's been painted?" "Where is Marlene?" "Has anyone seen Marlene?" "Silence, please." "OK, there's still food disappearing from the fridge." "Hey, are you listening?" "We can't go on like this." "You must stick to your own food." "A name on a package means it belongs to someone." "Not hard to understand." "Same thing about the coffee money." "There's money missing." "f you go on neglecting that, we won't be able to keep the coffee." "That would be so stupid. t's only five crowns." "Try to manage that." "Then some bad news." "Finally!" "Pikner didn't fix the showers." "You can use mine if you need to..." "With or without you?" "Please, focus!" "You can use it if you really have to." "But all of you can't." "Miss, may go to the loo?" "You'd better pee in your trousers." "How many times do have to tell you that you shouldn't smoke in here?" "Have we got the programs yet?" "Yes, faulty prints, thus rejected." "About rehearsals." "We have two weeks left before opening night, so..." "You know something?" "You have very beautiful eyes." "Such an unusual colour." "Blue." "For the technical check with Jon be here half an hour earlier." "Everyone must come to their rehearsals and be here on time." "Yes, Mom." " heard that." "The man from the Cultural Services might come this weekend." "'d appreciate that you behave, so that we don't lose our subsidies." "First rehearsal 7.30 p.m. Sharp!" "God, all these rehearsals!" "know my lines. have other things to do than playing tag all day long." "Don't forget that we'll listen to the musicians tomorrow." "So what's happening tonight?" "Happening?" "Yeah, thought of doing something, maybe... will rehearse my lines." "You know, that's what actors do." "You've got something in your hair." "feel ugly today." "Hello." "Hi." "don't know if you knew 'd be here." "'ve come to... watch a bit." "Actually 'll look at it all." "Oh, yeah, OK." "Well, didn't know." "thought it'd be someone..." "Welcome." "Great." "Yes, great." "Well, this is where we rehearse." "Nice premises." "Plenty of room." "Yes, but, well, it's not that big." "t seems bigger than it is." "There are 15 of us. n the beginning we were only seven or eight." "Then we were doing Commedia dell'arte and Bouffon." "Now we only do classical theatre." "Great." "What is on now?" "Right now we're rehearsing a play that wrote, premiere in two weeks." "t's called "Mother"." "Wow." "You can say it's a woman's play." "Great." "Come to our rehearsal tonight." "Well... yes, sure." "t starts at seven thirty..." "You want me to show you around?" "No, that's not necessary." "can walk around on my own." "don't want to bother you." "f 'm not a nuisance..." "No, not at all." "Go ahead." "All scenes?" "That's what Katja said, no?" "Then 'll have to learn them better." "t's not that much, but... t's OK." "How did it go?" "Shit!" "The clown doesn't answer the phone." "Really?" "So what will you do?" "don't know." "He sure wouldn't want to keep it." "Well, have to stop with these, suppose." "have to go." "And now smell of sweat..." "Hi." "Where were you?" "Just looking around." "How was the meeting?" "As usual." "That guy from the Cultural Services came, and was surprised he was so young." "expected, like, an old man." "Have you considered that thing we talked about?" "Last Wednesday." "Yeah." "'ve been thinking about it a lot." "think we should go for it." "Really?" "Yes." "And we'll have a really big wedding." "Maybe we will not have time this year." "Or the next." "But soon." "Hello." "Hi, there." "Thank you for lending me the iron." "Where do you want me to put it?" "Well, put it over there, wherever..." "Are you going to use it?" "You want me to plug it in?" "Yeah, want you to plug it in." "Well, bye-bye..." "An erotic book!" "No?" "Yes!" "And he keeps it right there in the room." "Katja said it was lying open." "Oh no..." "Yes, it's so disgusting." "But 've always thought he is creepy." "Marlene is still missing so we need to change a bit." "Michelle, take David's lines in the first hall scene." "'ve got better things to do than being stand-in for amateurs." "study as well, besides attending this nursery." "s this where ..." "You come in from outside." "OK, take it from the beginning..." "Focus..." "Please, go ahead." "When did you arrive?" "Yesterday." "Why didn't you tell me?" "knew it would come to this." "'ve been such a jerk." "You're just playing with me." "Relax." "You're exaggerating." "Yes." "Alexander." "Oh, hi!" "How are you?" "You did?" "missed your calls." "Yeah, and that's a bit strange." "'ve tried to reach you since Tuesday But you missed one more thing." "You're going to be a dad." "Excuse me?" "You heard me." "I've taken a test." "I'm pregnant." "can't be the father." "What did you say?" "Are you quite sure it's me?" " didn't hear that." "There's so much noise here." "Yeah, rehearsals!" "But since you're here, we can discuss this right away." "Yeah, it's really important." "We need to talk about it." "We mustn't rush through it." "'ll call you tomorrow and we'll talk about it then. 'm too busy now." "Bye." "Asshole... t was Martin." "have to go now, there's something must attend to at the office." "But don't you see?" "love you." "How are things?" "t's cool." "You're rehearsing too tonight?" "Yeah, like, eight o'clock." "Rather late, well, not that late, but you'll finish late." "That's OK." "sometimes go and have a coffee afterwards - at The Red Room." "And was thinking that tonight..." "Well, maybe we could... suppose you're busy and you're probably not feeling like it." "But if you do feel like it, mean having a coffee after rehearsals..." "Go for a coffee?" "Yeah, but only if you feel like it." "Sure, that'll be great." "Hi, it's me." "Sebastian." "'m fine." "was thinking..." "What about meeting up tonight after all?" "Yes." "Tonight." "Thank you." "Bad day..." "Do you find me unattractive?" "No." "Thanks, loverboy." "stopped smoking." "Had my last cig in the loo." "Something good about it!" "Yeah, think positive!" "That's my speciality." "Shit!" "know!" "This time it's me who's late." "t's so low, could be a bit higher." "You hardly see it as it is now." "managed to have a date after all." "We're having coffee, Sebastian." "That's only the beginning..." "You know something?" "You're one of the most beautiful girls 've ever met." "Yeah, but 'm a bit altruistic." "can't help trying helping, giving compliments." "Beckett is great." "He's one of the big guys." "So here you are!" "Rehearsing isn't important, you don't give a damn!" "Was it now?" "Now...!" "That's so low!" "Just skipping the rehearsals!" "We forgot about it." "s Jessica here as well?" "Are you drinking?" "Are you drinking?" "!" "'m fed up with you, your behaviour." "'m fed up with it!" "You spoil everything, you come late to rehearsals, you forget your lines." "You make a mess in the premises as if you like to destroy on purpose." "Don't play innocent." "You ruined the program." "You checked it." "You made it say "hair dresser" instead of "director" next to my name" "You don't give a damn about anything." "You just sit here getting drunk." "Whatever do you're against me." "You're all against me." "Sometimes feel so..." "lonely." "Nobody understands..." "Nobody understands how hard it is." "lie awake all night, worrying about the performance, worrying about the script, about our financial situation." "We have a rent to pay every month." "Nobody keeps that in mind." "The rent must be paid but nobody cares, you only think of yourself." "Everybody just think of..." "having fun." "So what do you say?" "Where did you get that?" "have my little secrets." "Yes, imagine you do." "We won't be disturbed here." "That's good." "Cheers." "Cheers." "Wow!" "This is getting on fast." "There's a strange smell!" "Don't you smell it?" "Shit, that's bad!" "t's repulsive!" "God, it's him!" "What the hell..." "Hello." "Hello?" "Katja." "Hi, Alex here." "Hi." "Where are you?" "At Seven Eleven." "What are you doing there?" "Having breakfast." "OK." "I called you last night." "I need to get something from the theatre." "Will you be there?" "Yes, 'll be there." "I'll come by this afternoon." "But I can't stay." "'m there the whole day." "Great, see you." "Kiss!" "I love you." "Kiss." "And a few green branches, please." "Hi, you know the French one I looked at..." "Coffee... and a carrotcake." "t's cheesecake." "Whatever." "You'll bring it, uh?" "'ll try to tell you this the nicest way can." "You're a fucking idiot." "But..." "Shut up!" "How can you go in hiding in a situation like this." "haven't been hiding." "Don't make it worse. 'm pregnant." "Jessica, are you sure?" "Christ!" "Where have you been the last century?" "Under a stone?" "'ve taken a pregnancy test." "t's 98,9 percent reliable." "Yes, but are you absolutely certain that it's me..." "Watch out or 'll scream." "OK, sorry, but was thinking...." "No "buts"!" "want to know how you plan to deal with this situation." "We should have been more careful." ""More careful..."" "What do you think this is?" "Sex-ed for teens?" "You bet we should have been more careful!" "But we weren't." "So what are you going to do?" "Well, we can't keep the child." "That's my decision." "Jessica, we can't!" "t's up to me." "t's not realistic. can't." "have my work and 'm moving to France." "To France?" "Possibly." "We may be branching out there." " don't give a fuck!" "You can't keep it." "f do... demand your responsibility." "There's something 've got to tell you. have to be honest." "Katja and are getting married." "This spring." "know this is hard for you." "know that better than anyone." "'m not trying to run away from responsibility." "That's not my style." "But there's no future for us." "'ve told you that, we both know it." "t would have ended one day." "And maybe it's for the best." "You're not suited to have kids." "mean you're not exactly the motherly type." "More coffee?" "No, thanks." "Hey..." "Did you cut your hair?" "There you are..." "Hello." "No sleep?" "Well, you look tired." "You'll have to excuse me, ordered." "have a meeting at one o'clock." "Thank you." "You have a spot there." "What is it?" "Cheesecake." "Oh..." "How are you then?" "So, so..." "Not really feeling great." "No?" "Well, don't know..." "You see, 'm pregn..." "Maybe you should stop smoking." "f you smoke a package a day it could be the reason." "don't smoke a package a day." "OK, but it can't be good for you." "Anyhow 've stopped." "Oh?" "That's great." "What about your university application?" "Did you send it in?" "So you didn't send it in?" "What a pity." "Art studies, such things, are great." "remember that wanted to do that." "Hi, so you're here to audition for the music bit?" "This is Silvio. 'm Rodrigo." "Hello." "Mia." "'ll try to find the director." "Come with me." "We weren't sure..." "Careful, don't stumble and fall." "Well, we were wondering if..." "'ll try to find Katja." " Katja!" "won't play what others decide, 'm no small cog." "create my own things." "All great actors work like that, as you know." "So... what do you say?" "Will we still get the subsidy?" "The subsidy?" "You're not here for the fun of it, right?" "You'll decide, subsidy or not." "don't understand..." "From the Cultural Services, right?" "No, 'm not." "Listen up!" "We'll listen to a group that might play during the representation." "They are from Chile and are called Silvio and Friends." "Friend." "Please, the stage is yours." "You know what we found?" "No?" "A mattress with a disgusting smell of piss." "almost puked when we got rid of it." "And it was surrounded by food scraps, milk cartons and crusts of bread!" "Really disgusting." "Nice jacket." "May come in?" "Well..." "This might seem strange but came here 'cause there's something 'd like to tell you." "Maybe a bit out of the blue, but..." "mean we hardly know each other." "'ve seen you here at the theatre and... feel attracted to you." "And now 'm here to ask you if we could meet some time..." "like... maybe tonight, go out to have a drink or... have dinner." "f want to go out and have dinner?" "Hey, you scared me!" "There they are... knew had spare keys somewhere." "don't know where the others are." "Well, 'll be off." "What happened?" "A waitress." "Hysterical." "But... t smells of cheesecake." "Cheesecake?" "Why don't you take a shower?" "You've got a clean shirt over there." "t's cool, no one will notice." "Are you going around like that?" "have got to go." "have no time for a shower." "Why don't you want to take a shower?" "Of course want to take a shower." "There's a towel in the bottom drawer." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "There's a gift for you." "Excuse me, could you spare a cigarette?" "t was a nice gift." "A really nice book." "Quite interesting, think." "And the card was nice too." "Did she like it?" "We start rehearsing in five minutes." "First your scene with Jessica." "Where is Jessica?" "She's... not here." "Not here?" "She's a bit..." "She needs to be alone" "What?" "We start in five minutes." "Yes, but she's not... feeling well." "'m not feeling well every day, but don't skip the rehearsals." "She's had a tough day today." "s that so?" "s this a pre-school or a theatre?" "What can make you skip rehearsals?" "Getting to know she's pregnant." "Pregnant?" "You'd better come." "What's going on?" "'m here to tell you that you must leave the premises." "We have a contract." "You can't just give us notice like that." "t's according to the law." "What do you mean "to the law"?" "Here have proof that there's bad practice in these premises." "Well, where shall begin?" "Maybe here." "Blocking of emergency exits." "Smoking in the premises." "Absolutely forbidden." "Using the premises as a home." "llegitimate business." "Unidentified preparations in toilets." "myself took this out from the loo." "Plus... as if that wasn't enough, twice delayed payment of the rent." "And finally, the worst..." "You need a licence for that." "This is ridiculous!" "Business?" "t's a box for coffee money." "And here 'm resting." "And this one..." "These are props." "Theatre props." "This is absurd!" "No need for discussions." "My lawyer told me this is enough to get you evicted." "That's for sure, really nothing to thrash over." "So that's it. 'll be back on Monday bringing along the documents." "You have nothing to say in this matter." "You must be out on the 15th when the new tenant will come." "A new tenant?" "!" "Who even knows about these premises?" "The new tenant was here to have a look." "When?" "Bye-bye." "The girls are waiting to start the rehearsal." "You'd better talk to them." "And you know the worst?" "He's getting married this spring." "What?" "Is he dating somone?" "Yes, they've been dating two years." "He said Jessica isn't the motherly type." "Christ!" "He's a fucking pig!" "And what did Jessica say?" "She was so angry and told him off." "At the end she threw a pie at him." "He was all smeary inside his shirt, Jessica said." "No, it wasn't a pie, it was something else." "A cheesecake!" "Christ!" "It's awful." "You can't believe it's true." "Have you been unfaithful to me?" "With Jessica?" "Have you been unfaithful to me?" "With Jessica?" "What do you mean?" "What mean?" "What is it in "been unfaithful to me, with Jessica?" you don't understand?" "Answer me!" "Have you cheated on me?" "No." "'m not that kind of guy." "You fucking liar!" "Why did you have cheesecake on your shirt?" "Tell me that!" "This is ridiculous..." "'ll show you who is ridiculous." "Can you look at me and say that you haven't cheated on me with Jessica?" "Katja, have not cheated on you." "But... you're pathetic." "Don't you see that already know that you knocked up Jessica?" "You won't take responsibility, so she smeared you with cheesecake." "For the last time." "Tell me the truth." "Have you been cheating on me?" "n a way..." "But can explain." "Yeah, you'd better explain!" "Take it away!" "t's not a real one." "Oh, yes, it's real." "Stay calm." "Calm?" "!" "You've been cheating on me!" "You're out of here!" "OK, 'll just take my clothes." "Forget your clothes." "But can't go out in a kimono ." "Get out!" "OK!" "That way." "Take it easy." "Please, put down the gun. 'll do what you want, but put down the gun." "Please put down the gun." "This is unpleasant." "Come on, continue walking." "Towards the exit." "Katja..." " want you out of here." "Open the door." "t's cold outside." "Get out!" "OK." "t's freezing outside and there's plenty of people, can't..." "Get out!" "Can't we talk about this like adults?" "Get out!" "know that it all seems strange." "'m aware of that." "Stay there." "Give me a chance to explain." "Don't try to escape. 'll shoot." "Let's sleep on it." "Tomorrow you'll think differently, and we'll be able to laugh together." "Stop!" "said stay there!" "Stop!" "Do you really think that there's a real, loaded gun in a theatre?" "What kind of gun was it?" "A starter's gun, for races." "Been there for long, but it shouldn't be in a theatre, you need a licence." "Because of the banging sound." "How did Jessica know about the gun?" "One of the guys fired a shot one night." "She went to see what happened, and gave them a severe scolding." "Tonight she understood right away." "Yeah, that banging sound.... understand Alex was scared, that he fell and hit his head." "Oh, it's you." "Well, come in." "'m packing my things." "t's all over now." "t is!" "Yeah, we could try to find other premises but where?" "And how long would we have to look for it, like six months..." "And no representations during all that time..." "And if we do find a place, could we afford it?" "This place was cheap." "Then one more thing. mean..." "'m the only one who really cares." "And you know the worst?" "To have to tell my Mom about it." "You don't like me." "t's always like that." "When like someone, he doesn't like me." "don't know why, if it's because 'm too strong." "Some guys get scared." "Anyhow, like you." "'m drunk so 'm telling you..." "You want some?" "No" "Why not?" "Here!" "Come on..." "Cheers!" "Did you cut your hair?" "Just so you know." "'m tired. had a hard day." "Do you want anything?" "Just coffee, please." "One coffee, please." "wanted us to meet, because... wanted to apologize." "t's OK." "Maybe should be apologizing, too." "was a bit blunt the other day." "But you had a bad timing for your appearance..." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Alex is the father." "Maybe you saw him at the theatre." "Katja's boyfriend?" "And now you wonder why 'm having an affair with my friend's boyfriend." "Yes, well... no..." "You should be wondering about it." "That's what 'm doing." "Well..." "You know, the thing is that was dating Alex before Katja." "He wasn't exactly the love of my life, but..." "There was some kind of relationship." "Although it was mostly the sex, to be honest..." "Then one day heard through the grapewine that he was dating Katja." "He hadn't told me about that." "Our relationship wasn't really official, but... you're disappointed." "You really are, so of course told him to fuck off." "didn't see him for a year, like..." "But then we met again, he told me it was over with Katja, he was single, and we started seeing each other on the sly." "didn't feel right about that, but... think considered the fact that 'd been first..." "Well, maybe not that interesting for you." "Well, yes, do find it interesting." "So, what about you?" "nviting me for a coffee at night?" "Don't you have any friends?" "Well, wanted to see you..." "Actually it was because wanted to tell you... that really like you." "can't live without the theatre." "Without acting don't exist." "know." "For me it's books." "collect books." "Mostly Japanese books." "There are incredibly nice pictures in them." "'ve arranged a corner at home as my library with a big armchair." "can sit there for hours." "Yes, know." "like reading too, theatre, reading, and of course music." "There's an old CD-player here, and lots of old CD's... f go to the right, 'm wrong, to the left, 'm wrong." "f work much, she's complaining, and also if work less." "t's... as if she wants me to be wrong all the time." "t's as if she's feeling great if 'm a failure." "You understand?" "'ve realized that she's incapable of being only a mother, wanting to be the center of attention and considered the best in the world." "You get it?" "You understand how hard that is?" "don't know." "think need something new." "'m tired of this life, of always being out chasing for something." "'m tired of discussions about nothing." "You meet a lot of people all the time and yet you feel... all alone." "The more people you meet, the lonelier you feel." "'d like to keep the child, if it was possible... think it could be... fun." "Do you think...?" "s there a place for me?" "What do you mean?" "n your life." "Why do you want to be in my life?" "After all talk tonight 've realized what kind of person you are, that you're not like other people." "Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but..." "You're a real human being, not hiding, your words mean something." "Well... can't really explain it, but do feel that... do like you a lot." "Wow... 'm pregnant and that's a rather complicated moment in my life." "know that." "Mornin'." "'ve shown tremendous patience." "The premises have turned into something they weren't aimed for." "People sleeping over and God knows what..." "We've been running a theatre here." "Well, a real farce!" "Well, there's not much to discuss." "We just need a signature." "Let's see..." "There and there." "Don't sign it. no longer want to rent the premises." "You?" "!" "'ve changed my mind. back out." "don't give a damn." "You're out of here!" "But don't want these premises." "'ll find a tenant. 've had enough." "Sign it." "Well, then..." "That's it." "think you'd better wait a bit." "Oh, yes?" "Now what?" "t concerns the theatre." "And it concerns you." "Me?" "There's something 'd like to show you." "Yeah?" " think you want to see it." "Before anyone else does." "OK." "Let's get over with it quickly." "What are you up to?" "Well... didn't know that you were here." "Pikner told me the premises would be liberated, that could have a look." "He didn't say anything about evicting you." "t doesn't matter any more." "Well... 've changed my plans." "There'll be no eviction." "The situation has changed." "They can stay here." "You can still rent the place." "'ll send you my bill." "Of course." "What happened?" "Don't think he wants me to show this to his wife." "What made you do this?" "You know, you must do things for other people as well." "You can't just receive all the time." "You have to give as well." "t's so strange." "There's a man's suit missing from the store-room." "What do you say about coffee?" "Like a date, or what?" "Yeah, like a date." "OK, why not?" "never thought about that before but your eyes have an unusual colour." "know, some kind of green that very few people have." "Did you borrow my safety razor?" "think someone used it." "t's so strange." "There was hair on it." "And think someone had a shower, but... just want to lie here doing nothing." "think 'm getting old." "What a drag!" "So fucking ugly."
