"It's so damn unfair." "What do you want?" "Someone has sent a hundred songs to the Eurovision song contest." "Who did that?" "I did." "But why did you send so many of them?" "Don't be silly." "They receive 200 songs each year." "With 100 songs you have 50 % chance of winning?" "Do you understand?" "You wanna hear one?" " I don't have the time." "It's called "I'm an Indian"." "Imagine a dark stage." "And then light, feathers, drums, strings..."

"No!" "I hate you." "Like that?" "And then up." "Tintin." "And where is Snowy?" "Sometimes I feel like I'm in a trap." "Captured by a lovestorm..." "This isn't funny." "I'm serious." "Four kids and a husband in a 95 square-meter apartment." "We can't afford it." "We'll have to find a smaller one." "Seriously." "The only place where I have some peace is the bathroom." "Wouldn't it be great if I was all alone for a while?" "Nice shirt." "Armani." "It cost almost 1000 kronor." "You're such a snob." "That and coffee, please." "Is he having coffee too?" "Ask him." "Can he talk?" "No, only on playback." "So you can talk." "Don't stare." "I told you to stop staring." "There's nothing to see." "I'm sorry, he's never seen..." "A paraplegic?" "Yes." "Sorry." "I shouldn't be complaining." "You're much worse off." "Don't stare." "Where am I supposed to look?" "To the floor or the wall." "Stop staring." "An acquaintance of mine doesn't have a cerebral palsy, he's just spastic." "They pulled all of his teeth out." "Why?" "Because he would chew his lips off otherwise." "I'm glad that I'm not him" "And he's probably glad that he's not me." "And I'm sure he wouldn't want to be you." "Who in their right mind would ever want to be me?" "I'm nothing special but you're one of a kind." "I won't give up." "You're wonderful..." "Oh, this is worthless!" "I know I'm not really a beauty but you're one of a kind." "I'm going to bed." "I said I'm going to bed." "Maybe I should cut my neck?" "Well, good night." "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?" "Hey, aren't you going to school?" "Mona, is it a holiday?" "Mona!" "What are you doing in there?" "Open up." "You can't stay in there the whole morning." "Are the kids not ready yet?" "You gotta tell them." "You tell them." "They're your kids." "How do you know?" "You weren't there when they were conceived." "What are you trying to say?" "I was there." "Lena PH and Anna Book, get dressed." "Kiki, give me that thing that I have to sign."

"My mouth is full of yogurt." "Bye." "Have you been unemployed for a long time?" "New opportunities!" "We have a suggestion for David." "But first I want to hear what David wants." "Mime artist."

"What is it?" "Who composed it?" "Who composed it?" "Me." "C'mon." "You composed it?" "Just like that?" "Listen." "Did you really make it on that thing?" "It took a while." "You have to change the tone." "That's it for now." "How's it going with you brother?" " Candy?" "He got released from the hospital." "I wish they would release me to." "Listen..."

"Darling Candy." "I came back from the hospital completely reborn." "Sorry I'm late." "Come in." "I'm watching '83 on video." "Swedish or European one?" "Swedish." "You still have a christmas tree." "It will be christmas in a month." "What did you do?" "You paused in the middle of Carola's performance." "Sacrilegious!" "Which came first:" "schlager music or gays?" "When Dana Internation won a couple of years ago they said it was a gay Jewish conspiracy." "And they were right." "If you remove gays and Jews from the showbusiness there won't be any showbusiness left." "You give me good vibrations." "Everytime you take my hand and everytime you smile..." "Oh, Candy, if only life would be like a schlager song." "And not a bloody requiem!" "I was watching that." "I rented a video." "We have to watch it." "It's supposed to be real good." "It's not good." "I will always love you." "I only want you, I'm yearning for you." "I won't let you go, I only want you and hope that I always keep you for myself." "When I destroy everything that is good..." "Can I put it like that?" "When I destroy everything that is good, I let you down." "When I destroy everything that is good..." "I know I'm not really a beauty and if you walk away I'll understand." "I have to write that down." "I won't let you go..." "Finished." "I have to celebrate." "When I destroy everything that is good, I let you down, when everything goes wrong, no, don't leave me." "Believe me, we are like a fortress getting through anything together." "I must have fallen asleep." "I only want you, I'm yearning for you and hope that I always keep you for myself." "Be faithful only to me like I am to you" "I won't give up." "What do you think?" "It's little too corny, but OK." "But you didn't sing the last refrain right." "That's because you can't make a key change on this stupid computer." "All schlager songs have a key change in the last refrain." "This is not a schlager pop song, but a rock melody." "It's a schlager and I want a key change, you snob." "Candy likes it." "But she won't hear it." "But I have to play it to her." "No, it's not good enough." "It's not finished, I have to work on it." "But I can play it to Bosse and the children, right?" "No." "When it's good enough" "I'll send it to her, from The Cardigans." "She'll sing it." "And my parents will hear it." "So I can't play it to Bosse and the kids?" "No." "This is crazy." "To put so much effort into something that won't come true." "Oh, please!" "That's how economists look at my life." "Let's see." "This is the real Candy Darling." "She lived in New York in the 1960's." "Isn't she beautiful?" "Yes." "Was she a man?" "A transvestite, like your uncle." "Repeat after me." "One, two, three..." "A transvestite." "Bravo." "I wanna be a transvestite." "I like clothes like these." "Was she really famous?" "Yes, but only for 15 minutes." "That's not real fame." "She worked with the artist Andy Warhol." "He said that everyone will have 15 minutes of fame in the future." "Like singers on Eurovision song contest?" "Yes, like them." "Candy, darling." "Can you help me with my dress?" "I'm coming." "Mommy is a transvestite too." "It's not fair." "Everyone except me is a transvestite." "When will you be ready?" "I have to call Bosse." "Come, I'm finished." "Wait." "I'm chatting with some man from Australia." "He thinks I'm 19 years old and that my name is Nettan." "He wants to marry me." "He asked me if I'm naked." "Yes, I'm so horny." "You dirty man..." "Now." "I'm coming." "I'm coming." "I'm coming." "Good-bye." "Are you finished, Nettan?" "Nettan is so pleased." "I will need your help later." "Absolutely." "Life is just a riddle, you're my answer." "What is this?" "That's your voice." "When I am at the crossroads and bad things are coming," "I have black doubts, they're driving me insane." "I won't let you go," "I only want you, I'm yearning for you and hope that I always keep you for myself." "Be faithful only to me like I am to you" "I won't give up." "Why did you record this?" "Did you write it?" "What do you think?" "A real hit." "Brilliant." "I wrote the lyrics, even though I can't spell." "You should send it to the Melodifestivalen selection for Eurovision Song Contest." "You think they would accept it?" "Of course." "Melodifestivalen?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Yes, with lyrics like that." "I flunked at Swedish in school." "You send it." "And I'll make you a dress." "Of course." "Lots of boobs, lots of legs, lots of glitter, lots of everything." "What boobs?" "Where do you think I get them?" "From rubber." "You're not serious." "Why not?" "You're gonna make a fool out of yourself on national television." "You have no chance there." "You're right." "David said the same thing" "It just seemed so fun." "I didn't mean it like that." "That's exactly what you meant." "It's OK." "Coffee, anyone?" "Mona's been feeling a little down lately." "I know." "At least she has a job." "It's not fun to receive welfare." "I'm chatting all day long with a horny Australian who thinks I'm a girl called Nettan." "I don't know..." "It's like a light went out." "It's not like you." "You keep on shining." "Oh please, Bosse." "I have a fever." "The new medicine doesn't work." "I vomit all the time." "You don't have to envy me." "Sorry." "Hello." "This piece of junk belongs to the junkyard." "What's wrong with it?" "It's making a weird sound." "I don't know where it's coming from." "Start the engine." "It must be the valves." "Will I have to take the engine apart?" "No, hand me the tool." "It should work fine now." "You're a a genius when it comes to automobiles." "I know." "How embarrassing." "I have to get back some of my lost reputation." "Candy, check out my car." "Coming, coming." "I think I'm becoming a closeted straight guy." "No, they don't move me." "Thank you, God." "Was I really, really naughty?" "Why?" "You know what I'm talking about." "The song." "No, it wasn't bad." "You're fine just the way you are." "What are you saying?" "What am I like?" "You are who you are." "I don't know..." "You are..." "You are you." "The important thing is that you are who you are." "Am I right?" "Forget about it." "It's no use yearning for things that you can't have" "I guess so." "What's this?" "I changed my mind." "You have to send it." "You're crazy." "You said yourself that I can't sing." "The tape is in the envelope." "You gotta send it." "You're out of your mind." "Do you believe in destiny?" "Sometimes a small thing can change your life." "What was in the envelope?" "A small unimportant thing." "SABINA LIVES FOR HER MUSIC" "Disney's Christmas special is coming on." "We're eating." "We have that on tape." "I'm not gonna miss Donald Duck just because you can't prepare dinner on time." "I wanna see Santa's workshop." "Damn merry christmas to this whole damned family." "Happy new year." "It's not working." "Don't cover the lens." "Happy new year." "Rewind it first." "Shut up." "Happy new year." "Hello?" "I can't hear you very well." "Yes, that is me." "Seriously?" "No." "You're kidding me." "Is this a candid camera or something?" "I understand." "What's going on?" "Thank you." "What's going on?" "The song." "What song?" "They were calling from television." "I'm gonna be sick." "What song?" "It's been accepted to the song contest." "My song?" "You weren't supossed to play it to anyone." "Don't you understand?" "I'm going to sing on Melodifestivalen." "It wasn't finished." "Unbelievable." "It wasn't finished, dammit!" "You're kidding?" "It's true." "No..." "It's true." "You're kidding." "It's true." "We will dance in the light on our journey through the night." "We'll travel in the symphony, until the dawn comes."

"OUR NEW SCHLAGER QUEEN" "For the singing queen!" "We collected money for the flowers." "We're so proud of you." "We didn't know you can compose songs and sing." "Thank you, they're beautiful."

"Don't mention it." "Thank you." "That's very kind..." "What an elegant place." "Lights everywhere..." "First I have to tell you that I've seen the covers." "Absolutely outstanding." "Thank you." "You really think so?" "I was really moved." "There's so much fakery and lies in this business." "But then you appear out of nowhere and you're just being yourself." "Do you like anything?" "I'm not very hungry." "An appetizer will be enough." "Tomato salad." "I'm really not very hungry." "I'm just a glutton." "I'm paying for it, of course." "Really?" "Well, in that case I will maybe have" "Supreme de gelinottes lucullus." "That's some sort of meat, right?" "Can I also have a dessert?" "Anything you want." "Waiter!" "Is there real champagne in this dessert?" "Yes." "Then I'll have this first." "Why?" "I've never had real champagne before." "We can order a whole bottle." "No, not just because of me." "I'm more than happy with this." "Banana and ice-cream." "I'll gulp down the whole thing." "We'll start with two ice-creams with champagne." "Sweet dear Mona." "This is one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me." "But there will be a lot of hard work." "You gotta be prepared." "Excuse me." "Sorry..." "We'll work with the media, television, talk shows..." "A recording contract, of course, maybe a tour." "I'll have to take time off from work." "Mona, trust me." "Listen to me." "I will make a star out of you." "Really?" "You must know that I created Sabina." "Really?" "I didn't know that and I thought I knew everything about schlagers." "The champagne is coming." "Look at the bubbles." "Enjoy your meal, sir." "Cheers!" "Here's to a newborn star!" "Next week I'll be interviewed on the TV." "Really?" "It's absolutely incredible."

"I've been invited to a party for famous people by Micke Bindefeld." "That's great." "Great?" "It's a catastrophe." "What am I going to wear?" "Jeans and a faded T-shirt with a hospital logo?" "Take anything you'd like." "I'm not going anywhere." "I'm lucky I have a brother who is a transvestite." "Thank God for creating me the way I am." "Here's where I work in real life." "And where's that David who you work with?" "This is his room." "I'll check it." "Yes, here he is." "Hello, David." "Hello, David." "I'm so glad to meet you." "Can we take some photographs?" "Listen, David..." "We want to take a picture of you with Mona." "We're making a story about Mona's workplace." "Sorry, I don't understand." "Sorry..." "Maybe this is not a good time." "What is he trying to say?" "He's telling us to get to hell." "Like sheep going to the slaughterhouse." "Where's the invitation?" "You have it." "I'm gonna cry." "You didn't take the invitation?" "Mona, hello." "I'm happy to see you." "Welcome." "Is this your husband?" "Bosse." "We forgot the invitation." "No big deal." "This is Mona Berglund." "What's it like being here?" "Are you nervous?" "Lena PH!" "I'm Mona Berglund and..." "One of my daughters was named after you." "She's ten." "I also have three other daughters." "There are some rumors about your new record." "It's true." "Dr. Alban, Gunde Svan, everybody's here." "Listen to this." "You know what that was?" "Henrik Johnsson peeing." "A real celebrity peeing." "Carola!" "Carola!" "It's fantastic."

"No, it's true." "You won't say that again tommorow." "You're disturbing the neighbours." "I'm a star." "I will be on TV tomorrow, not you." "I like being famous." "Come, Mona." "Come inside." "All of you!" "What about your kids?" "They're staying at our friends." "The apartment is really messy." "Don't take your shoes off, the floor is sticky." "I hope it's not the kids." "Make yourself at home." "We'll be right there." "What is it?" "Candy just got worse." "Is that you?" "What was the party like?" "Are you in pain?" "Let's not talk about that." "Let's talk about your dress." "I wanted to buy the fabric in London, but I don't think I'll be able to do that now." "I'm a little lazy right now." "Does it hurt?" "Heathrow is a terrible airport and a British pound is so expensive." "Answer me, Candy." "Do you remember, when we were little?" "Grandma took us for a stroll in the park on sundays." "One time this old drunk came to us and harassed us." "Grandma stopped." "She grabbed our hands and screamed:" ""Close your eyes and he'll go away."" "Grandma closed her eyes and so did we." "We just stood there, quiet as mice, until he was gone with our eyes closed." "And the danger has passed." "It was like that when we were little." "But it's not like that anymore." "I have my eyes closed all the time, but the danger is still there when I open my eyes." "Hi, Bosse." "Handsome." "He is, isn't he?" "Hi." "I'm from See and Hear magazine." "You can trust me." "What a fantastic song." "Where did you hear it?" "Is your brother dying of AIDS?" "You know Candy Darling?" "Is that his name?" "He's a transexual, right?" "You damn fool." "He's not a transsexual but an ordinary transvestite." "Oh, transvestite." "And he has AIDS, right?" "Get lost!" "He's in this hospital, right?" "Do you still like being famous?" "Be good and don't run around." "Slow down, girls." "The rehearsal for saturday's Melodifestivalen has begun in the Circus auditorium." "There are 170 reporters with the performers and musicians." "That's 17 reporters for every contestant." "9 and a half contestant from 10 will be already forgotten next week." "Let's do this again." "Half contestant." "Sorry, do you have passes?" "No, but..." "She's one of the stars." "She's gonna sing." "I can't let you in without the pass." "Welcome, welcome." "The whole family." "How cute." "Moa Rehnkvist." "I'm the assistant director." "It's so exciting." "Plenty of work, of course, but it's worth it." "With these passes you can get anywhere, even backstage." "Each gets one." "Always carry them with you, or you won't get anywhere." "This place has better security than the Kumla prison." "Crazy but also brilliant, right?" "Come with me, I'll give you a quick tour." "I can't do this." "I'm not getting the right tone." "What a brilliant song." "Hi." "Did you say something?" "I'm Mona Berglund." "Sorry, my hand is sweaty." "I'm nervous I've been a huge fan of yours for a long time." "Thank you." "Are you the make-up artist?" "No, I'm gonna sing." "Really?" "Oh, that Mona." "Congratulations." "Trully." "I'll keep my fingers crossed for you." "Come." "I'm gonna give you a little advice." "If the song is bad, just wail." "What?" "You don't know what wailing is?" "Wailing is singing without melody." "Is it like that part in Carola's "Captured by a Lovestorm"?" "Exactly." "How does your song begin?" "Refrain goes like this:" "I won't let you go..." "You're gonna have to do some serious wailing to make that song work." "They're calling like crazy." "All the TV stations want you." "Expressen wants you and the kids in their Easter show." "I said yes." "Aftonbladet wants your weight loss tips." "They think I need to lose some weight?" "Here's the reporter's number." "And now for the stylist and hairdresser..." "What stylist?" "Brilliant!" "Really." "I don't know how to say this..." "Do I look OK?" "You rarely get it this right." "But this is really perfect." "Turn around." "It's wonderful." "You did a great job Sophie." "What do you say, Mona?" "Aren't you pleased?" "I don't need a stylist, my brother is gonna make my dress." "I promised him." "You're so cute I could just eat you." "Brother!" "WHO WILL WIN THE MELODIFESTIVALEN?" "MY BROTHER IS A TRANSSEXUAL!" "ARE MONA AND BOSSE DIVORCING?" "When is mom coming?" "I don't know." "She's in the studio." "Why is mom working all the time and you're not?" "It's not fair, huh?" "We want mom." "Stop shouting." "You want to see mom?" "Here you are." "Enjoy." "What about the key change?" "You want it?" "Yes, before the last refrain." "Otherwise it won't be like it should be." "Mona, you're golden." "Golden times two." "Times two." "Are you still awake?" "What do you look like?" "They curled my hair but after I take a shower I will look like myself again." "Were you in studio for so long?" "No, we went for a beer." "You're never home lately." "You don't care about anyone anymore." "I don't care about who anymore?" "You should know that yourself." "I don't care about who anymore?" "About anyone." "About anyone." "You don't care for the kids, for Candy, for David, for me." "I thought you were supporting me." "I thought this thing will end up just like everything else in our lives." "Like what?" "You know, miserable and unsuccessful." "A disaster." "I didn't think you were actually gonna make it." "Thank you for saying that." "Thank you a thousand times." "What will happen to me if you disappear." "I'm nothing without you." "Mister Mona Berglund." "A nobody who can't even get a job." "No, darling..." "I'm totally useless." "That's not true." "You can do a lot of things." "Like what?" "For instance..." "Your time is up." "Where are you going?" "Can I sit here?" "Did you see that singing nurse?" "It's painful." "I feel sorry for her." "She's going to embarrass herself in front of the whole country." "Luckily she's so dumb she doesn't even know she's making a fool out of herself." "Did you pour me the juice?" "No." "It's time for the song:" ""I Won't Let You Go"." "Can Mona Berglund please come to the stage?" "Mona Berglund to the stage!" "Could I..." "I didn't begin correctly." "Are we supposed to sing like this?" "Yes." "We'll start where we did before." "I got confused." "I'll try again." "Where should I begin?" "Where you did before." "If she pukes into the microphone I'm out of here." "You said to begin where I did before." "You're just a little tense and nervous." "It happens to everyone the first time." "No, I like it." "It's just..." "Get some rest." "I'll call the next singer and then you'll come back." "OK?" "You sang brilliantly." "How could I believe I was gonna make it?" "I thought you were brilliant." "Who cares what you think." "Today we have Mona Berglund in studio with us." "What a great champagne!" "Very, very good." "I heard you were on a world tour?" "What was it like?" "Everybody adores me." "I'm good, I'm the best and I'm very famous." "Stop it." "Are you wearing this?" "Bosse, we're gonna be late." "Just a moment." "That was our big success." "We risked a lot." "Mom, are you famous?" "Of course." "She's in all the newspapers." "But are you really famous?" "I don't know." "Do people ask you for autographs?" "I wanna be famous and give autographs." "What would you like to be famous for?" "I don't know." "Who cares?" "Hitler was famous too." "He wasn't famous." "You can be famous for many different reasons." "If you do good or bad things." "You're doing something good mom, right?" "I hope so." "Please, move a little." "You know why." "Here's our next guest." "You've all heard about her." "Mother of four, a nurse who came out of nowhere and became our newest schlager star." "Ladies and gentlemen, Mona Berglund." "Oh God, would you look at me!" "Shut up, you look fantastic." "Mona, welcome." "How do you feel?" "It's fantastic." "I can't believe all of this is true." "That I'm sitting here on the same couch as Kasper." "I don't know if I should pinch myself or him." "What?" "Do you like him?" "Ssshh!" "Do you like him or what?" "Tell us something about yourself." "I'm married." "I have four kids and until now I've worked with a wonderful boy David who has cerebral palsy." "She's talking about you, David." "And I like schlager music, like Kasper." "What is it with this Kasper?" "Silence!" "Of course we can't play the song, but we asked two veterans from this business for their opinion." "It's good." "Very good." "Especially because this is a work of a new composer." "That's what we wanted to hear." "That was Anders Berglund, one of our leading composers." "And here's another professional opinion." "Unbelievable." "A girl, who was never a musician, created such a marvelous song." "All I can say is:." "Congratulations, Mona." "Fantastic." "I can't believe it." "That was Lasse Holm." "I really admire him." "So you wrote this song and then you sent it?" "You wrote this song and you sent it?" "Yes, I did." "Yes, I did." "My song." "I composed it, you damn bitch!" "Didn't you say that David composed it?" "Are you lying, mom?" "With hand on your heart can you swear that everything you're saying is true?" "I'm telling you, I composed Mona's song." "It all happened so fast." "She's a thief." "I wrote only my name and Bosse gave me the envelope." "Don't blame me." "I can prove it." "Don't be jealous of Mona." "You're crazy." "She took it from the box." "It all started as a joke." "I was too shocked when they called me and I couldn't just say:" "No, someone else made the song." "Don't look at me like that." "I'll tell everyone that David composed it if it's really so important." "I trully hope you'll do that." "Please, stop." "Mona, Hi!" "Should I get you a champagne with ice-cream?" "No, thanks." "We must talk." "Roffe, could you..." "Sit down, Mona." "I was thinking..." "Speak!" "This song that I wrote..." "I didn't really write it." "Really?" "I wrote the lyrics but not the music." "David composed it." "The boy with cerebral palsy?" "Dammit!" "Dammit and dammit again!" "That's not good." "Does this mean you were lying?" "Hopsa." "Everything will slip away." "I have to tell the truth." "You'll get disqualified." "You will lose people's sympathy." "Maybe we could use that palsy thing in the newspapers..." "No, it wouldn't work." "That boy..." "David." "Talk to him." "He must realize that this is your once in a lifetime opportunity." "Would he want you to miss it?" "Probably not." "Do anything, just don't make a public confession that you've been lying or it will be all over" "Forgive my honesty:" "Over!" "He won't talk to anyone, he won't cooperate when we dress him." "He's just sitting there." "Did you speak with the doctor?" "It's nothing physical." "Something has really upset him." "He even wet the bed last night." "Hello David." "They told me I could see you." "You said you wouldn't accept this job." "I brought you something." "For God's sake, David." "This is my lifetime opportunity." "What do you want me to do?" "If they think that I've cheated everything will be over." "David, please." "Please, don't ruin this for me, that's all I'm asking of you." "You know how my life was before." "Now everyone's suddenly so friendly, offering me new things." "Last week we've been invited for a trip to Mauritius." "Mauritius!" "Isn't that fantastic?" "Aren't you happy for me?" "Oh God, Bosse wrote the address on the envelope." "Everything happened so quickly." "You wake up and you're a star." "Everyone likes you and you're finally somebody." "I want to tell them that you made this song but now everyone thinks I made it." "You know, I didn't mean to but Leif, my producer, says..." "If they think I was lying" "It will be all over." "You get it?" "Over!" "This is my only opportunity." "Do you want to take it from me?" "So you're not speaking to me or what?" "What?" "Suit yourself, you damn spastic." "Sit here and sulk until you start rotting." "Sorry, you're Mona the singer, right?" "Yes." "I think it's nice how you represent us, the common people." "Thank you." "May I come in?" "We got the test results." "And?" "Unfortunately it doesn't look too good." "You'll have to stay here." "So I'm dying?" "Should I call someone?" "Perhaps your sister?" "No." "You don't have to." "You wrote the song and you sent it?" "You wrote the song?" "Are you lying, mom?" "I'll tell that David composed the song." "Just don't make a public confession." "She's gonna embarrass herself." "I composed the song." "I can't do this, I can't do this." "Mona." "Mona, darling, you're so stiff." "Move your hand a little." "I'll try." "Can I say something?" "Mom has to work." "Look." "I've seen that a thousand times." "Do it again." "You're doing it wrong mom." "No I'm not, you're not showing it correctly." "No, you're doing it wrong." "If that's the case, you can go home." "You're horrible." "You're so damn stupid." "Don't curse, you damn brats!" "Where did you learn words like that?" "From the beginning?" "It's Candy." "Could I talk to Mona?" "I don't want to disturb her." "Has she spoken with David?" "With David?" "He's not speaking to anyone, he's just shouting." "We have to do something." "Yes, we have to." "I'm looking for David Vogel." "I think he's resting." "He's not speaking to anyone." "Thank you." "Scream, scream until you're empty." "Don't say anything." "I know all about it." "I know everything." "If you could live again would you still be a transvestite?" "If you could live again would you still like to have cerebral palsy?" "If I didn't have it that wouldn't be me." "That's it." "It wouldn't be me otherwise." "Tonight we're broadcasting the swedish Melodifestivalen." "The winner will go to the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin." "All the eyes are turned on the veteran of this business" "Sabina, who's making a comeback, and a newcomer Mona Berglund who'll be performing live in public for the first time tonight." "Those who've seen Mona in the rehearsal say that she's suffering from enormous stage fright." "Some doubt that she'll be even able to sing." "But Sabina looked confident from the first moment and she's s starting to look like the winner." "This is all for now from the Circus auditorium." "We'll be back later." "Mona." "How are you, darling?" "Did you get any sleep?" "She was sleeping and I was lying awake for four hours." "I had to go to the bathroom but I was afraid to get up" "Mona is such a light sleeper." "I was afraid she was gonna wake up." "O boy." "Like I said..." "It's for real this time." "But first comes the dress rehearsal so you don't have to be nervous." "Just like I've said that I created Sabina" " This is just a foreplay." "You were lying awake because of me?" "Really?" "Yes." "Go and get dressed so you won't be late." "Hello." "Is everything alright?" "Well look how nice you're doing." "I'm glad you came to your senses." "You'll like it here after a while." "Don't stop because of me." "I heard that your ex-nurse, who'll be singing in the festival tonight, came to visit you." "That's nice, isn't it?" "I have to go now." "Good luck." "Bye." "PENIS" "Thank you, Luleä..." "Your votes please, Norrbotten." "Thank you." "It's working." "Is everything connected and working?" "We're testing it." "Did you gain weight?" "I feel like a fool." "You're beautiful, sweetie." "Go on the stage and sing." "Mona Berglund to the stage." "Christ, that's me." "Relax." "This is just a dress rehearsal." "Mona, telephone." "No time." "It's Candy." "Can I call him later?" "You have to speak to him." "Please, mom." "You have 15 seconds." "Hello." "Your dress is ready." "It's divine." "I love you." "Go." "You'll make it." "You think?" "Where is she going?" "She'll be back." "She has to go to the stage." "She'll be there." "Give me the make-up case and my wig." "I must look beautiful." "She's still not back?" "I hate working with amateurs." "What if she's not coming?" "She's coming." "You look like you've eaten a rice pudding with milk and then vomited." "They wanted me to look like this." "Your dress is there." "Oh, Candy, this is..." "I know, simply fabulous." "Put it on and put this in your hair." "You can look now." "Didn't I tell you?" "An absolute dream." "Oh, Candy, I'm such a fool." "I treated you and David horribly." "That's what friends are for." "I love you." "And I love you." "Hurry up, sis." "Go to the Circus and be the most beautiful one in the world." "She's stil not here?" "No." "She has no cell phone?" "The show's about to start." "This is a violation of the contract." "She'll pay for this." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Melodifestivalen." "The orchestra is conducted by Benny Berg." "David, we must hurry up." "You know what we'll do?" "We'll compete at the Melodifestivalen." "Forgive me for being such a bitch." "Leave me alone." "The hell I won't!" "Leave me alone." "I don't want it." "Than I'm not going either." "What are you doing?" "What does it look like?" "I'm painting spots on the dominoes." "The contest has already started." "You'll miss it." "So I'll miss it." "This is your once in a lifetime opportunity." "David, I'm so sorry." "Forgive me." "So are we winning this vulgar festival for people with horrible music taste?" "Don't be such a damn snob!" "If mom isn't coming we can sing." "Pass?" "Pass?" "I left it in the hospital." "I don't have it, but I'm performing tonight." "No one told me anything." "I'm Mona, the singing nurse." "And I suppose that is Patrik Sjöberg, the high jumper?" "Only the assistant director can let you in but I can't disturb her right now." "Three millions of viewers and she isn't here." "Put on a sign:" "Technical difficulties." "Idiot." "Fool." "Don't panic." "Stay calm." "We're making a turn here." "Panic, panic." "We can't wait any longer." "What are we going to do?" "We'll have to remove my singer from the list." "Damn!" "What if Sabina sang instead of Mona?" "Sabina instead of Mona." "OK?"

"I don't know." "I know nothing about this." "Was this thing staged?" "I know nothing about it." "Sorry for the interruption, but I'm trying to sing here." "Can't anybody do something about this?" "Tell them that this is a song contest, not a circus!" "Let Mona say something about this, I don't know anything." "I'm not part of this." "Listen!" "This is David Vogel." "He composed my song." "Forgive the confusion." "But that's the charm of live broadcasting." "Anything can happen." "TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION" "Maybe you don't know who I am." "Of course I know." "We've met." "I am Sabina." "This is my comeback." "I'm sure you don't want this small, old and ugly woman singing instead of me." "The festival is continuing despite the interruption." "We ask the singer of song number 5 to come back to the stage again." ""Love Icon" with Sabina." "Mona, Mona!" "The festival is continuing." "Can I sing with this?" "Give it up for Sabina!"
