"Want to know something?" "I had a real strange dream." "Do you know what I dreamed?" "I dreamed we were back in the orchestra, sitting side by side, rehearsing the 4th Brandenburg Concerto, the slow movement, and that everything we have now we had behind us." "We only remembered it like a nightmare." "I woke up crying." "I started to cry when we were playing." "It was the slow movement, you know..." "Aren't you going to shave today?" "Well, if you insist." " Why are you so angry?" " I'm not angry." "You look angry." "You're always angry these days." "You better get dressed so we don't miss the ferry." "We have to be at the mayor's house before 9:00." "It isn't my fault." "I didn't start this damn war." "If there is any money left, we could buy a bottle of wine." "What do you think, Eva?" "You're awful." "Go and dress now." "I think I'm getting a wisdom tooth." " Do you think the dentist is in town?" " We'll find out." "Is awful with wisdom teeth." "Once I had one over here on the right side." "The dentist had to take it out piece by piece." "He went on for a whole day, without anesthesia." "I had a fever for weeks afterward." "I hope this one isn't that bad." "That would be awful." "Can you see anything?" "No, nothing." "Touch here." "Is swollen, like a lump." "We better hurry up." "Did you pay the telephone bill?" "Damn, I forgot." "Is not right paying for something you don't have." "The phone never works." "Either they'll have to repair it or I shouldn't have to pay." "We need a phone, you know that." "Of course." "Naturally." "But we don't get a lot of orders." "We need a phone, or we'll lose the whole business." "They can just as well call the Olssons." "We can pay them every time someone calls." "Do you hear the church bells?" "Is it some kind of a holiday today?" "No, is an ordinary Friday, isn't it?" " What do you suppose that means?" " Nothing." "Hurry up." "We're already late." "It frightens me when the bells ring on an ordinary weekday." " What time is it?" " Five past 6:00." "Yes?" "Hello?" "I think is going to rain." "Why don't you get your leather jacket?" "Damn it!" "Jan?" "What is it now?" "You can't be so sensitive." "I can't stand it." "Pull yourself together." "I do." "Can't you ever shut up?" "I'm sorry." "I forgot my jacket anyway." "There have been a lot of convoys lately." "I didn't mean to be so nasty to you." " I just lost my temper." " I can defend myself." "Listen..." "Yes, tomorrow is exactly four years since we moved to the island." "Did you know that?" "The day before yesterday was a year since Grandfather died." "We shouldn't forget to put flowers on his grave." "No." "Hi, Filip." "Hi." "What did you talk about?" "He was listening to the radio about an hour ago." "Enemy troops might invade." "They have been talking about that for years now." "Our damned radio is always broken!" "Our damned car is always broken." "If only you wouldn't try and repair it so often." "There we go." "Is better not to know anything." "I'm so fed up with your escapism." "No, I'm not going to argue with you." "We're going to have fish for dinner." "Sounds good!" "When you stood there talking to Filip, I felt really in love with you." "You were so beautiful." "From a distance, right?" " Good morning!" " How funny." "We were just on our way to see you." "Is so nice to see you." " We brought the lingonberries." " Really?" "Good morning." "We have lingonberries for you." " Good morning." " Good morning, Mrs. Rosenberg." "My wife and I just went out to look after our little summer house." "I told the mayor we were on our way with your lingonberries." " Really?" " They're very nice." " Really?" " I don't know if we can bring them." " We're going to see our son." " We'll bring them there for you." " Sure it won't be any trouble for you?" " Oh, no." " Of course not." " Will someone be there?" "Miss Almberg is home." "Knock on the door." "This was nice." "Why don't you come over some evening?" "We'll eat, then make music, like in the old days." " That would be wonderful." " Great." "I miss our musical gatherings." " We both do." " Yes, we do." "We haven't played any music since conductor Kreisler was drafted." "Can I ask you something?" "These military convoys..." "what do they mean?" "The situation has worsened a bit lately." "They say so much on the radio, you don't know what to believe." "And our radio is always broken." "I believe in living in hope." "You never know what will happen." "I got a letter from my sister, who has been evacuated." "She's in a refugee camp now, where they bomb almost every day." " Thas awful." " We're almost there now." "We have to say good-bye, but les meet some evening, okay?" " Yes, just call us." " Yes, we'll give you a call." " Good-bye." " Bye." "We'll see you soon." " Our best regards to your son!" " Thank you." "We'll tell him!" " Can we use the main entrance?" " Of course." "Okay, les go in." "I got ten kronors more than I asked for." "Les go to Fredrik's and buy some wine." "Careful... come on." "Hello?" "Hello?" "No, he's not home." "He's never out." " Hi." " Hi." "There you are." "So you've been drafted, too?" "Yes, look how they've dressed me up." "I haven't handled a gun in over 20 years." " Please have a seat." " Thank you." "And I have nobody to look after the store." "But maybe that doesn't matter." "What can I do for you?" "We would like to buy a bottle of wine." "I still have some left." "I want to show you something." "Look at this." "Is the finest thing I have." "Is an antique, right?" "18th-century Meissen." "How did you get it?" "I inherited it from my mother." "I'll never sell it." "Listen to it for a while, and I'll be right back." "Do you listen to the radio?" "No, ours is broken all the time." "I've tried to fix it, but I can't get it to work." "Yesterday, they threatened the most horrible measures." "And this morning they congratulated us on our heading for disaster." "The same song we've heard for years." "We shouldn't listen to them." "Wait a minute." "This is not what we meant." "Just try this." "Is really good." "We were going to buy a bottle." "This one is not bad." " Cheers." " Cheers." " This wine is so good." " It really is." "What is it?" "Can I have a look." "I have only five bottles left." "Look... '59." " Can we afford this one?" " Oh, yes." " Cheers." " Cheers." "You know, when I am sitting here alone among my things," "I feel so... sad." "I don't know why." "Maybe is because no one will miss me if I disappear, not even Mrs. Prins." "Mrs. Prins?" "The one who cleans the house once a week." "She cleans up, and then she makes the coffee and then we make love." "No, Mrs. Prins will probably not miss me very much." "Before you know it, you'll be home again." " How much is the wine?" " You can have it for ten." "You would have gotten it for free, but I need some money to give Mrs. Prins." "Thank you very much!" "Very kind of you!" "She's going to look after my things while I'm gone." "We don't want to miss the ferry." "Yes, you see, I have some pain in my foot." "Is really painful, actually." "I wonder if they pay consideration to a foot." "Maybe they can give me an administrative job..." "They didn't want me." " Maybe they'll send you back." " Les not talk about you." "The most important thing is to show goodwill and not come running with a doctor's certificate." "Absolutely, you have to tell them." "Maybe they'll let you go." "See you again soon." "Bye, and thank you very much." " See you soon." " I hope so." " Good-bye, then." " Thanks again." "Bye." "I think we should drink a toast for Filip and for his fish." " And my cooking." " And for your cooking." "Eva, did you know the radio works?" "Did you repair it?" " Yes, finally." " You are so smart." " Aren't I?" " When you want to, you are." "I'm always smart." " Do you know what I'm going to do?" " No." " I'm smart, too, you know." " I know that." "I'm going to start learning Italian." " Are you?" "Finally." " Tonight." " You've talked a lot about it." " Yes, and we can help each other." "Every evening you've got to tell me to study my Italian." "I will time you and quiz you, and I'll be very strict." "You know what else we should do?" "Each morning, after we've fed the chickens, we should play music." "You, up in the morning?" "I want to see that." "I promise." "We could play for half an hour every day." "We have the instruments and we have lots of music." "We have to keep practicing." "Jan, I want to have babies." "Sometimes I want to have a baby." "Now?" " No, not now." " Why?" " I can't explain why." " Please explain it to me." "Is a kind of feeling..." "I mean..." " Can't you wait..." " No." "...until it calms down?" "No, I think is important now." "Many of the things that might be bad between us depend on the fact that we have no children, that I as a woman don't have a child." "I mean, I'm 30, and is time I had a baby." "30 is not old." "You can wait till you're 40." "Women should have children when they're young." "I will have 3 children when I'm 40." "Then we'll be a family." "Listen, I'm serious now." " Don't be angry." " I'm not going to be angry." "Next time we go to the village, les see the doctor." " What for?" " To be examined." "Since I don't have any children yet and..." "I mean, I am healthy." "I know that." "Yes, but I'm healthy, too." "We are both healthy." " Is just psychological." " Jan, I'm serious." "If we go to the doctor, he can examine you." "Don't take it personally, but when we didn't live together, well... we both know what you were doing then." " I didn't do anything." " That could be important." "It could be the reason we don't have children." "Because you had a lot of women who..." "No, I didn't." "Why talk about this now?" "It was nothing." "I've always loved you." "You know that." " What about the opera singer?" " That meant nothing." "It was nothing." "It only happened once." "I have always loved you, Eva, and I still love you." "You know, I don't think you know what love is." "Of course I know." "Love of yourself." "You know a lot about that." "No." "I'm not as selfish as you think." "I think you're enormously selfish." "I'm going to be a better person next year, even next week." " Are you?" " I promise." "I believe in a complete change of character, if you really want it." "You?" "Yes." "I'm not a determinist, you see." " What?" " Determinist." "What is a determinist?" "A determinist is a person who..." "I don't care if you're a determinist or not, as long as you fix the sink tomorrow." "Les not wash the dishes now." "We're not doing the dishes now?" "So what are we going to do now, then?" " Where are you going?" " To help him." "He might be injured." " They might shoot you." " You're a damned coward!" "Stay here!" "You're not going to help when someone's hurt?" "Let me go!" "Go, then!" "I have to call an ambulance." "Was it one or two who jumped from the plance?" "We just saw one, didn't we?" "Yes, one." " Did you shoot the pilot?" " Why would I have done that?" "No, I guess it wasn't you." "I advise you to get out of here." "They have dropped paratroopers only a few kilometers from here." "I know what we'll do." "I'll put it in first gear, then you give it a little push."
