"When I said I was going to be a preacher, my mother cried." ""I used to be proud of you, " she said." "Dad offered to give me the car if I didn't do It." "I told him I'd think It over." "Lord, anoint Tobias Carling with the Holy Spirit   and accept him as a minister of your church." "I'm 29, my student loans total half a million kronor..." "I don't have a flat and, sadly, I don't have a girlfriend either." "There's no way I'm moving back in with my folks." "I mean, there's a limit..." "So I'm renting a room at an ex-girlfriend's place." "Six years ago I lugged this bed out of there." "I was going to throw It out, I wouldn't need a twin bed again." "I would meet someone at college and my life would change forever." "Mom told me to keep It, It might come in handy." "Unfortunately she was right, but thanks anyway, Mom." "How did you manage to get this place?" "Money under the table." "Here's your key." " Is that unethical?" " No..." "Everyone does it and it beats living in a dorm." " Are you going out?" " Yes." "This is yours." "Listen... it's really nice of you to let me stay here." " I wouldn't have asked..." " Don't worry." "It's water under the bridge." "I wanted to make a difference, in my own life and that of others." "There will come a day when the bitter truth is unavoidable:" "You cannot do your life over again." "Youth belongs only to the young." "But only the old know how to use it well." "Dad, about the car, I need It." "I'm not staying here a second longer." "I'm going to apply for a job you didn't even know existed." " What is it?" " Oh, it looked like you were..." "You know..." "Praying or something..." "It's about time..." "Something's got to happen!" " What do you want?" " Do you know where the church is?" "No." "Hello?" "Hi..." "I called about the job." "I'm Tobias." "Come here." "Look down there." "Down there." "See it?" "The mosque, in the old bowling alley." "They're packing them in." "Swedes go there too." "Real Swedes." "Like you and I, blond-bearded types." "I wish I knew how they do it..." "You know we'll be closed down if attendance doesn't improve?" "It won't affect me, I'm more than ready to retire." "I just wanted to find someone who would be willing to take over first." "What did you do wrong at the Pastoral Institute to end up here?" "I applied for this position." "It's a challenge." "Not like a congregation whose main concern is the stock market." " Have you ever been here before?" " No, but I know what it's like here." " People have real problems." " Like what?" "Like alcohol, unemployment, or that they're immigrants, I guess." " They really need the church." " So, go out and tell them." "Maybe I should, people don't seem to know that there is a church here." "No wonder they don't show up, right?" "We have to bring them in, try a new approach." "Invite people to share their views of how to run a church." "Make them a part of it all." " The Institute teaches that?" " Yes." "You need to reach out." "You have to let people know you're there." " Go door to door?" " Sure." "Or hand out flyers." "Or put up posters." "People are interested, you know." "Clear away the media haze, and they're interested in spirituality." " You do have a Xerox, right?" " I'm not sure they are interested." "No, this ship of ours is sinking." "And it's too late for this old rat to jump ship." "Is the money you got last week gone already?" " Any unusual purchases?" " No..." " We bought slacks." " How much were they?" "How much were yours?" "They're fabulous." " They're Italian and were on sale." " You're new, right?" " 299." " They're Taiwanese." " Have you tried giving up smoking?" " A thousand times." "Welfare is not an income, it's a last resort." "Hang on, Ruben." "You're saying our way of life is impossible." " And it is." " You act like it's my fault." "Who's to blame?" "Your colleague with the big boobs?" " Birgitta?" " Is it her fault?" "Or God's?" "That there aren't any flats for someone like me?" "I know, give me one hundred grand for a deposit." " Here..." " "Groceries only"." "It's the best I can do." " Hello, my name is Tobias Carling..." " I'm not interested." "I'm the new minister." "Would you like to come to a meeting?" "Hi, my name is Tobias Carling, I'm the new minister." " What?" " I'm a minister." "A minister..." " Hi, I'm Tobias..." " Come in." "Oh..." "I'm a clergyman." "I brought these..." " So, just plain fucking then?" " No..." "Did you ring my bell?" "A little while ago?" "I didn't make it in time." "It takes me like forever in the bathroom, see." "You're a minister, right?" " Do you loan people money?" " What do you mean?" "Somebody told me the church could help out with a small loan." " What do you need the money for?" " The rent." " How much do you need?" " 500." "Actually... 600." "I'll pay you back." "Promise." "You know what, keep it." "I won't be coming around here again." "I've tried to talk to people all day long, only..." "Nobody's interested." "For 600 I'll talk as much as you like." "Really?" "Let's go eat." " So you believe in God?" " Yes, I do." " What's the deal?" " Sorry?" " You've got to know why you believe." " Of course I do." "Bring us two more beers." "My spinal cord's out of whack, but I don't have a drinking problem." "I do smoke, though.." "Don't tell Ruben." " Who's Ruben?" " A jerk in expensive pants." "Knows squat about what people really need." "You don't know many people like me." "It shows." " So, what do you do?" " Nothing." "I have no appeal as an employee to sexually harass." "But I could have been retarded, so it's a shame to complain." " Go on, ask me..." " What?" "Everybody's curious, but nobody dares ask me anything." " Go on..." " Can't you feel a thing?" " Not below the navel." " Nothing at all?" " So you...?" " What?" "When I think about that skier, Tomas Fogdö..." "And sex?" " It never fails, everyone asks that." " I'm sorry..." " On a personal level..." " You don't..." "It's not a problem, even if it's been ages." "Oh, this is my favorite song!" "Turn it up." "Turn it up!" "Carola!" "?" "Got you!" "Shit..." "I forgot my keys, and Ma and her old man are asleep." "What do we do now?" "." "You'll have to boost me in through the window." "What's that?" " What?" " I'm stuck." "You'll have to go inside." "Hi..." "I'm Tobias, the new minister." " Where's the chair?" " We didn't mean to wake you." " It's all my fault." " Go get the chair, Leffe." "Hey..." "You can use the door." "Right." "I wasn't thinking." " Want a drink?" " No, thanks, I'm fine..." "I don't think I've met a clergyman since I left school." "I think I'd better..." "Have you heard the one about the priest at a gay club?" "He realized where he was when the sausages tasted like shit." " His jokes are so not funny." " You laughed at one." " The Polish whore and the olives." " Crutches." "The guy's from Lebanon." "He was tortured." "We've complained, but nothing happens." " Like a smoke?" " No, thanks." "I'd better..." " I'd better go home." " Stay the night." " There's a bed in Carola's room." " No, I can't..." "No, I have to get home." "Okay..." "Bye!" "I fooled everyone!" "Happy birthday!" "Gee, thanks." "Only it's not my birthday." " Isn't it the sixth?" " Of January." "I was so certain..." " How stupid of me!" " It's all right." "It's great." "We'll celebrate it anyway." "And I don't remember your birthday either, so we're even." "Aren't you planning on getting out of bed today?" "I found this." "It belongs to that guy, right?" "Hi, Mom." "This is my new girlfriend, Carola." "She lives on welfare." "She drinks a lot and smokes two packs a day." "And she's disabled, too." "But that doesn't matter, does It?" "Her mother and this guy Leif would love to have you over for dinner." "It could be delightful..." " You wrote that." " No, that's one of yours." "No way!" "How are you?" "I thought I was committed to certain ideals." "Equal rights, the equal worth of all mankind." "I really believed I felt that way." "But when it came right down to it, when words weren't enough " " I chickened out..." "What a lousy minister..." "Hey, didn't you forget something?" "Oh..." "Sorry." " All right if I go home?" " Sure." "I know exactly how you feel." "I can't tell you   how many times I've been in this very situation." "You don't have to feel sorry for me, I'm fine." "I wasn't expecting a massive turnout, but churches have services." "It's an obligation we need to fulfil, or we might as well curl up and die." "What are you doing here, anyway?" "You don't work here anymore." " Hi..." " Hi." "Right..." "About last night..." "I'm really sorry." "I should have known better." " You're a lovely..." " You dropped this." "What the hell do you think?" "That I've been panting to meet a fancy guy like you all my life?" "You think you're so great, working in a rough neighborhood like this   only to go home to your condo, God's fair-haired boy." " You look down on us." " I do not." "You look down on Leffe and his jokes, and on Ma and me." "But he is what he is, with his smokes and bad jokes." "He doesn't want your help." "Neither do I. Get that or get out!" " And I already have a boyfriend." " Yesterday you said..." "Well, vicar, there's more to a relationship than screwing!" "I can't feel a thing." "So what's the bloody point, right?" "It's easy to mistake them for chiffchaffs." " I want to go home." " Please don't act like this." "I love you." "Catch you tomorrow." "You know it's kind of like an actor." "Hit me with the next bird..." "It just left." " What time is it?" " A quarter to." " Hand it over." " What?" "Give me your watch." "Give it to me, damn it!" "Your cell phone and your money, too." "Here..." "It's a hassle to replace ID." " Right, thanks..." " Bye." "Did you report it to the police?" "So your insurance will cover it." "People just don't think of others nowadays." "Says she who makes good money." " Doesn't he know how much you make?" " No, it's a touchy subject." "She forgot the fan again." "Maybe you should talk to her." "She might listen to a woman." "You asked for it, with your protective upbringing and all." " Islam preaches violence." " Erik!" "It clashes with our Christian ethics." "Do you believe in God?" "That's what I thought." "If it weren't for religion, there wouldn't be any wars." " We still believe that's true." " There's one left." " I can open another can." " It's fine." "I'll just take half of it..." "It's great that you and Jenny got back together." "I rent a room, that's it." "Well..." "No..." "I feel hung-over." "We were going to take it easy   but Leffe brought a friend home, and, you know..." "What was it like with you and my dad?" "Was it "true love"?" "It sure was." "He couldn't take his eyes off me." "Or his hands either, for that matter." "We cruised down to Copenhagen on his bike and got engaged." "Then we ran into a truck, no, a school bus..." "And your dad was sentenced to two months for drunk driving." "And I never saw him again." " Hello, girls." " Hi, sweetie." "Say, Carola..." "Know how to make a blonde scream twice?" " Help yourself to a smoke, Leif." " Really?" "First you fuck her backdoor..." ""And then you wipe yourself on the curtains."" " I'll buy you a whole carton." " Sure..." "What do you need him for?" "You've got a vibrator..." "What's up, Leffe?" "Trip over your shoelaces?" "Leif!" "Ashes to ashes..." "Dust to dust." "Jesus Christ will resurrect you on judgement day." "Well..." "I didn't know Leif, so it's hard to know what to say." "Would any of you like to say a word?" "I only met Leif once..." "And he asked me if I knew how a priest could tell that he was at a gay club." "The sausages taste like shit." "Leif is still the same old guy." "Death doesn't change that." "I believe that Leif's heaven is where he feels comfortable." "It wouldn't be a place with golden harps and cherubs and stuff like that." "I bet there would be a whole lot of smokes and bad jokes." "Because that was Leif." "That's the way he wanted to be." "Anyone else remember one of Leif's jokes?" "Right..." "What do you get if you cross a bureaucrat and a Taliban?" "A killer snail!" "Do you know...?" "Do you know why fighter planes fly over Norway upside-down?" " Come on, that joke's so tired!" " No it's not!" "Know why the pope wears swim trunks when he takes a shower?" "He doesn't want to look down on the unemployed." "I woke up early and thought:" ""He's not bad, that minister."" "Did I get you out of bed?" "Hang on..." " Who is it?" " A member of my congregation." "I buried her dad yesterday." "Her... step-dad." "She's sad, she needs to talk." " But you're off-duty." "It's Saturday." " Right." "Where are you going?" " To the bathroom." " Do you have to?" "She's in a wheelchair!" "That's so sad, she could have been so pretty." "Maybe so..." "Your mom called to remind you about the flowers." "Who was that?" "A friend you sleep with?" " I rent a room there." " She prances around in a nightie." "Well, it is her apartment, after all." "Leffe said I should be an attorney, since I'm always on the defensive." "I had no idea I'd miss the bastard so much." "I liked him, even though he was a moron." "If anyone was mean to me, he went after them." "Even though I wasn't his kid." "He was such a sweet guy..." "It's too bad I never told him that." "And now it's too late." "That happens a lot, that it's too late for things." "How did you get your handicap?" "Were you born disabled?" "It's the luck of the draw..." "This is it." "I'm watering their plants while they're away." "Holy shit..." " Are there more than two of them?" " My parents like space." "Mom loves her books." "I've never seen her read them, but she says she's attached to them." "Dad sees himself as a humanitarian   only he can't get along with anyone or hold onto a job." "Sometimes I wish I could just get away." "And go to Las Vegas..." " It seems like a great place." " Maybe so..." "So why don't you go?" "I don't know, I guess I don't have the guts." "This used to be my room." "That was a long time ago." ""To Tobias, thanks for the letter." Were you in love with her?" " So here I was..." " Poor thing, it must've been awful." "What did they do, force you to play the violin?" "You freak!" " Freak?" " That's what you are!" "What's the matter?" "You don't want to..." " I'm used to that." " I didn't mean..." "I don't get the hots for people in wheelchairs either." "Tell me what to do." "Start with my top." "Just pull..." "The rest is like usual..." " Where are you going?" " The flowers..." "I forgot..." "Check it out!" "This would be about all our moms have in common." "I found it in the drawer..." "I didn't use it." "What's that?" "Man, was that funny!" "They do have a sense of humor?" "I'll explain everything the next time I see them." "Hey..." "Cheer up." "Listen..." "About not feeling anything, it's not true." "It felt great." " It felt great right here." " Good..." "I've got to go home." "Got to run..." "I'll call you." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Bye." "And suddenly, there they were and that golden dick   was buzzing away on the floor." "It was so embarrassing." "Come on, it wasn't that bad, Where's your sense of humor?" " It's him I'm thinking of." " Tobias?" " What's going to happen now?" "." " We like each other." "Sure..." "It will work out." "You don't think anyone could love your freak of a kid, do you?" " Pity you didn't have an abortion." " Stop it!" "You know that's not how I feel." "It's just..." "I honestly don't believe that you'd be good for each other." "You're too different." "I want the best for you." " No, you're jealous." " I am not." "Because all you get are losers that fuck and run." "Guys that care more about your booze than about you." "In our bed, too..." "Can't we trust you anymore?" "To top it off, your behavior was very unprofessional." "You took advantage of your position as a minister." "There are lots of emotionally vulnerable people   that look to clergymen for help and guidance." "How can they trust you if you do something like this?" "You know as well as I do that you get too involved in things." "Don't you see that she might get the wrong impression?" "She's not somebody you just break up with   when the novelty wears off in a week or so." "It's a pretty big responsibility, have you considered that?" "Are you listening to me, Tobias?" "Ten years from now, she might be a vegetable." "And she might not be able to have children." "There are lots of things you can't do together." "Travel." "Go skiing..." "This isn't a charity." "This is real life." "Hello, It's Tobias Carling." "Is Carola in?" "No, could I give her a message?" "I wondered if she wanted to see me..." " No, she doesn't want to see you." " What?" "I can't bear to see her get hurt again." "Do you understand?" " Is she in?" " No, she's out with her boyfriend." "And how are you going to pull that off?" "." " You need an education." " I'll get one." "High school... and then some." "There's no way you could do it." " Sure I could, if I was motorvated." " Motorvated?" "It means having drive!" "The word is "motivated"" " Motivated." " Who cares?" "!" " Carola wants to be a lawyer." " I'm going back to school." "Apply for a disability pension, and you can support me." "So I won't have to bother with the authorities." " What's the matter?" " How was the jail bait?" "Can I help that she followed me around?" " Don't let it bug you." " I don't." "You and me, we belong together." "You know that." "It doesn't bug me." "I've met someone." "I've met someone who really cares." " Who is he?" " None of your business." " Have you fucked?" " Yeah, and it was great." "Beat it..." "Beat it, you fucking bitch!" "What the hell are you looking at?" "So you're still here, are you?" "Oh..." "Yes, I've been doing some thinking." "I don't feel sorry for you, it's the other way around." "I envy your energy, I used to be like you once." "But it sort of fades with the years." "It's taken me seven years to get here..." "Back the Institute we could discuss for weeks on end   whether we should always wear our dog collars on duty   or if a turtleneck sweater was just as suitable." "As if anybody cared..." "I should have become a psychologist instead." "Well, you never know what life has in store, do you?" "Will you be going home to your girlfriend now?" "." "No, I don't have one." "I was close once." "Let's see..." "Here." "That's Birgit. 1963, on Öland." "I was reassigned and she wouldn't go with me." "So we lost touch..." "I haven't seen her since then." "In retrospect I wonder if I did the right thing." "When the new phone book comes, I check if her number has changed." "I've never called, though..." "It's like..." "I don't know." "It's a small measure of comfort." "No, there weren't any calls." "Hanna from Arlöv, thank you" "You taught me a thing or two" "As straight as a die you never would lie" "So now I can stand up for myself Stand up for myself!" "We worked in the laundry together She was a communist" "Now how could a 50-year-old lady go be a commie?" "The heat of the laundry room bugged her" "But the boss, well he said he couldn't afford to put in fans" "Kiss my ass, said Hanna" "Hanna from Arlöv, thank you You taught me thing or two" "As straight as a die you never would lie" "So now I can stand up for myself Stand up for myself!" "How about this one?" "God shines with his absence" "'Cause he'd rather be dead than Red" "Too bad he didn't really know that he was dead and gone..." "God shines with his absence" "'Cause he'd rather be dead than Red" "He wasn't where he ought to be" "He was dead and gone" "Now this one..." "Don't go losing those new mittens" "'Cause baby It's cold out there" "Don't spend every cent you own" "Life will cost you a bundle" "Don't go losing all your teeth now" "Cause baby It's cold out there..." "I'm sort of suspicious of people who are big on causes." "Makes you wonder what they're running away from." "Like your mother, she can't even take care of our cat   and now she's off to Africa to hand out condoms." " Right, it's funny." " I give it a month." "Just like when she was into having foster children." "What's this?" "Complaints about the music?" " Is Tobias in?" "Could I speak to him?" " We have guests..." "You can't do this!" "You said you'd call but you didn't." " This is none of your business." " Show some respect..." " I believed you." "This is my home, you have no right to..." "Get out!" "I'm calling the police." "Now cool it!" "Have you lost your minds?" " I tried to call." " You didn't succeed." " So I barged into your dinner party." " You could have joined us." "Quit lying and admit you're ashamed." "Could your behavior have anything to do with it?" "Does that chair justify everything?" "If you chanelled your anger into something constructive   you could have gone far, instead of boozing with your mom!" " What do you know?" ".!" " No one knows, right?" "It's simpler to shove your head in the sand, right?" "Why do you think you're disabled?" "If your mom wasn't such a lush you wouldn't be in that chair!" "Sorry..." "I don't know anything about it." "Carola, I think you're a wonderful girl." "I think you're incredible, I really do." "But..." "I took advantage of my position." "And you were vulnerable..." "Do you believe that crap yourself?" "." " So, did you sleep with her?" " Yeah." "It never occurred to me that they can do it." "Of course they can!" "You're doing the right thing." "I mean, it would never work in the long run." "You have nothing in common." "Just think of everything you'd have to do." "You'd be, like, her keeper." "It's the right choice." "Tobias, face it..." "I know this will sound like I'm middle-aged but after that first flush of infatuation   there are lots of years ahead that may be rough, and you need a real partner." "Right..." "I'm such an idiot." "Jenny, the moron who never gets it." " Everything I do goes wrong." " That's nonsense." "I'm so dull that people can meet me ten times and still not remember me." " That's not true." " I'm so sick of myself." " I can see why you are too." " Stop it..." "I wouldn't want me either, Miss Goody-goody..." " Who cares?" "!" " I do." "I care about you." "You know that." "She's the only good thing I ever had a hand in." "Would you like me stay?" "How about a cup of tea?" "I'll go get it." "It's just like it used to be." "You even smell the same." "If you only knew how happy I am..." "Gunnar told me..." "I'm sorry if..." "I didn't mean..." "You know..." "Shit, Lola..." "You and me have always belonged together..." "I bought you some flowers." "Carnations." "What did you do, try to kill them?" "I guess a vase would help..." " Maybe I should go get one?" " Yeah, you do that." "Oh, sorry about this..." "I've been here all weekend, I got carried away." "I haven't had this much fun since the Boy Scouts." "I mean..." "You talked about what the church can be." "And after the funeral it felt like we were on a roll..." "So I took the liberty of..." "PETITION" "See it as draft, a starting point for discussions." "No good?" "I don't have a talent for words." "But I had to grab the opportunity." "Could we join forces?" "I'm quitting." "It's all pointless." "Thank you." "Help yourself to a jam tart" "My grandchild made them at nursery school." "Everything looks fine." "Leo tells me you worked in a less-affluent neighborhood." "A useful experience." "When I was your age I went to Kenya for a few years." " Welcome aboard." " Thank you." "Let's try this..." " Bengt goes next to your aunt Eva." " They won't hit it off." "How about this?" "Eva goes next to Leo   and that therapist goes next to my cousin, Klas." " But he's a jerk." " Yeah..." " Why did you invite him?" " He's my cousin." "Do these people really have anything to do with us?" "This guy and that guy and this woman..." "No..." "These two people are important, the rest don't matter." " Who is Lars Åkesson?" " He was on the list." " I thought he was one of yours." " Absolutely not." "But how...?" "Oh, I can't take this...!" "How about a different approach?" "Just the two of us?" "What do you say?" "Let's go to Las Vegas and get married at the Elvis chapel." "Las Vegas?" " That would be nice." " Right." "Let's do it." "We'll go for it!" "It's settled." "All right!" "What's wrong with you?" "!" "The invitations have been sent." "Now we'll have to do this all over!" "In the presence of these witnesses I ask you, Tobias Nils Carling:" "Will you take Jenny Maria Brunander to love and cherish?" "Yes." "Dear friends, as your toastmaster " " I have the pleasure to present the father of the groom." "I haven't lost a son " " I've gained a daughter." "The parents of the bride." "...as lucky as us and enjoy years of happiness" "So we would like to share some good advice" "Hugging and kissing" "Should never be missing" "And will make every day special and nice" "The best thing about you, Jenny..." "Is that you're so crazy and nutty..." "You really are!" "I need say no more than:" "Brighton, 1988." "Spain in '92..." "Not to mention Åre in '97." "Talk about slippery slopes!" "The grandmother of the bride." "Excuse me..." "What the hell are you doing?" "Why are you in here?" "What's up?" "I shouldn't have married her..." "Jenny." "Jenny is the sweetest person on earth, but I don't love her." " What?" " I thought..." "I don't know what I thought but this is wrong, wrong, wrong!" " I shouldn't have gotten married." " Pull yourself together." "There's a party going on out there." "Speeches." " Guests from out of town..." " No, it's all wrong." "I love Carola." "I love her." "I think about her all the time and I treated her like dirt!" "At the altar, I was thinking of her." "That she would come take me away." "Don't be so goddamn selfish!" "You could consider Jenny." "If it doesn't work out, you can always get a divorce." "This is the 21st century, after all." "Get your act together." "Come on..." " Come on!" " All right..." "We apologize..." "But then again, even the groom needs to do his business..." "I've thought about you..." "Really..." "A lot." "Who's there?" "Well, hello there, Preacher Man." "How are you?" " Out saving the masses?" " That's right..." "I was in the neighborhood, so I figured..." " I didn't know that you two..." " We sure are!" " How are you?" " Fine." "Carola's back in school." "So she gets all these grants and stuff, you know." " How are you?" " I'm doing great." "I'm getting married..." "Right..." "Well, you take care now..." "Bye." "Hallelujah!" "I'll be back in an hour." "Make sure all this is gone by then." "Listen, I'm going out for a while." "Your mother and I talked things over last night." "We don't want to throw you out   but maybe you should find yourself another place." "Oh, someone called." "Someone called Karl-Henrik." "His number's on the pad in the hall." "Luckily, I was out and about." "If I'd been at home, I'd be dead." "I've been a little too busy lately..." "But 4,876 people have signed the petition." "So that makes it worth it." "There have even been donations." "Listen, there's something I'd like to ask you." "We're going to have our first wedding service since '71." "And they..." "won't let me out of this place." "Would you consider helping me out?" "I don't mean come back for good." "Just step in for the occasion." "I understand if you don't want to..." "You have a new position." "Your future is bright." "You'll do it?" "Oh, hell..." " Are you ready?" " Sure." "We gather..." "We gather before God for the purpose of holy matrimony." "The joining of Carola Christiansson and Håkan Bodin." "We are here today to ask the Lord to bless you and to re..." "And to rejoice together." "Marriage is a gift of God   created to created to uphold society." "To live as husband and wife   is a loving commitment." "It entails being responsible and faithfully standing by each other." "Faithfully..."
