"Since both parties have contributed to the family's increased fortune,   we have decided to divide the estate equally between the two parties." "That is the ruling in full." "Any comments?" "Susanna?" " Lars?" " We've divided the household goods." "Are you in agreement, Susanna?" "I hereby declare your divorce valid according to the law." "HEAVEN'S HEART" "9 MONTHS EARLIER" " Is this better?" " There." " What time is it?" " A quarter past." "Ulf is furious." "He can never get a move on." " Elin isn't coming home tonight." " No ..!" " Here they come." " Wait ..." "Here's to a nice evening." "Cheers." " I'm really sorry we're late." " Stop it." " We had a little ... incident." " Did you have a fight?" " A terrible fight." " What about?" " He wanted to ..." " Make love?" "Poor you ..." " Is sex still important to you both?" " Of course." "Doesn't all that intimacy make you sick?" "No, not really." "I don't know why it turned out like this." "I didn't want it to be like this." "On the contrary." "Hey, Ann ..." "Don't be sad." "We've got a surprise for you." "Wait until we're all together." "Let me just turn off the soup." "Suddenly you just get this urge to fuck." "Wham bang thank you, ma'am." "What a great excuse for ... coming late." "I took your advice." "Unzipped my pants and went to work." "Ann loves it when I'm spontaneous." "Are you serious?" "Have you ever cheated on Susanna?" " With another woman." " No, never." " Never?" " No." "I don't want to risk all this." " Haven't you ever wanted to?" " No ... well ..." "No, actually not." "Even if she didn't find out?" "She would." "Why do you ask?" "Have you ..?" "No." "No, no." " No?" " No, but last summer ..." "When we were in Tuscany, there was this waitress   at the restaurant we usually dined at." "Nothing happened." " But I suggested to Ann we go back." " Don't." "She thinks it's because we had such a great time." "We did." "But that's not why." "We had the greatest food and went for the greatest walks   but it wasn't all that great in bed." "We didn't have sex at all." " Have you talked to her about it?" " She says she's content." "I didn't know Ann couldn't have children when we got married." " Did she know?" " Yes." "But she was afraid to tell me." "She thought I'd leave her." " Would you have, if you'd known?" " I don't know." "I think so." "Did you hear about Lars' colleague?" "He had a young female patient ..." "Avery young patient." " He left his wife and kids for her." " Oh, my God, is that allowed?" " A doctor and his patient, I mean." " It's very inappropriate ..." "Christ, I bet she was 20 years younger than him." "It's pathetic." "He and his ex-wife and his mistress are 15 years younger than us." "Maybe he fell in love." "Maybe he hadn't found his true love yet." " But you said they had a kid." " Two kids." " It must be love then." " Or so he thought." "Then he got wiser." " After two kids?" " Are kids an expression of love?" " No, on the contrary." " What do you mean?" "Children are the helpless victims of adults' desire to make love." "You know how much Ulf longs for a child, don't you?" ""Get a dog," I always tell him." "I've always found that hurtful." "Your spiteful comparison between children and dogs." "You know I've always wanted a child." "It's not something you joke about." " More soup, anyone?" " No thanks ..." "Yes." "It's really good." " Yes, delicious." " I might sponsor a child in Africa." " It's only seven kroner a day." " In that case you can afford seven." "They don't have enough food, but they sure know how to make children." " Don't you agree, Susanna?" " I see your point." "You do?" "You see Elin that way?" "Sure, marriage is built on love but it can turn into lots of other things." " Like a wall against solitude." " A wall?" "You have these thoughts?" "I've never heard you ..." "I'm not talking about myself, Lars." "I'm saying it's like that for some." " What about the joys of marriage?" " Sex you mean, you dirty pig." "I'm pretty smooth in that department." "I haven't grown impotent yet ..." "much to my wife's disappointment." "You can take care of your sex life on your own, if you have to." " If things go that bad." " This soup is delicious, Susanna." " Is it homemade or out of a can?" " Thanks." "Here's to our own private hell." "I feel like defending your colleague." "It's easy for us to judge him for leaving his family,   but what if he fell in love for real?" "Maybe he saw he'd been living a lie." "Is it still adultery then?" "Is it?" "Isn't he just following his heart and doing the right thing?" " Chew on that." " Is this something you think about?" "Who says it's wrong?" "Maybe he and his wife get back together and strengthen their love." "There's more to life than breathtaking love stories   and passionate romances." "Much more." " Such as?" " Security." "Stability." "A smooth-running everyday life." "The basic, simple things in life." " This is so childish." " What makes you happy?" " What do you mean ..." " Passion or security?" "Suddenly all eyes are on me!" "I guess over the years it's become a fifty-fifty thing." "What good is security without passion?" "One thing doesn't rule out the other." "Isn't that the sensible, suburban thing to say?" " I'm with you, Susanna." " I'm shocked, Ulf." "Why?" "Because apparently you understand adultery." " You never told me." " Understanding isn't practising." "I don't understand it." "I never once considered it." " Why are we even discussing it?" " It's an important thing to discuss." "The hell it is." "So you think, to sum it all up,   my colleague did the right thing?" " If it makes him happy, yes." " To cheat on his wife and leave ..." " Stop it." " Let's change the subject." " Who are you voting for?" " I hate it when you avoid conflicts." "I'm in the middle of a personal confession." " Go on then." " My vote." " Social Democrats?" " Conservatives?" "I'm not going to vote at all." " It's your duty to vote." " I agree." "I'm content with my little, peaceful and stable life here with you." "I'm content." "I'm not ashamed to admit it." "I stand for it." "My family, my friends,   my home and my secure income." "In that order." "I love you, but that side of you drives me crazy." " You love me ..." "You love me." " Ulf, help me with the roast." " All finished?" " I am." "It was great." "Cheers." "Do you understand it?" " Do you agree with them?" " Susanna and Ulf?" " On what?" " This whole adultery business." "Don't be afraid." "I suddenly was." "Understanding something isn't the same thing as wanting to do it." "Ulf did me on the kitchen table but it's not love, so here we are again." " I'm sorry." "But thanks." " Don't mention it." " Let's tell them our surprise." " Right." "We thought about having a party   but do we want to spend a fortune on a bunch of trivial people?" "No, we're going to spend the money on a trip for the four of us." "A vacation." "You get two choices." " Laureux's chefschool in Provence." " Provence it is." "Or that place in Tuscany you always talk about." "Laureux is married to a beautiful woman 25 years his junior   so you don't have a chance." "What a shame!" "Which do you prefer, Lars?" "I prefer ..." " Tuscany." " I knew it!" "Drinks on the beach." "Yup, I'm going to drink cocktails and look at women." "Perhaps I'll find true love and then I'll leave you." " We don't have to decide now." " You can never make a decision." "Lucky for you." "Or else I'd have left you long ago." "I love you too." "Let's sleep on it and make up our minds next time." "Won't it be fun, though?" "It's just like when we talk about me opening a restaurant   or you restoring furniture." "We paint a picture for hours ..." "And the next day it's back to square one." "I mean it." "But you don't want to." "You'd never move to the suburbs and give up your secure income." " Have you found someone else?" " What?" "You heard me." "Have you found someone else?" " Don't be stupid." " Answer me." " Of course I haven't." " You defended my colleague ..." "I tried to see it his way." "Why do people trash adulterers?" "At least they do something." " Sounds like you're considering it." " Not seriously." "But I have thought about it." " Why even be married then?" " Only if something happened to you." "Why did you criticize our sex life?" "You are a superb lover." "I have absolutely no complaints." ""Superb"." "You sound like a food critic." "Don't you want to do something, only something holds you back?" "No." "Like what?" " Don't you dream about anything?" " No." "Don't you ever think there must be something more?" " More than what?" " This." " No." "Do you?" " I don't know." "What's missing in your life?" "No, let's go to bed." "Forgive me." " I was being unreasonable." " Not at all." "Maybe I'm panicky because I know Elin will be moving out soon." "She won't vanish out of our lives." "Somehow she's been an excuse." "It was your decision to go off the pill." "16 years, and you haven't forgotten?" " It was a drastic thing to do." " We've been over that." "Think we lost each other along the way?" "I hope not." "What did you dream about last night?" "You were screaming." " I was?" " What did you dream about?" " I don't remember." " Yes." "I could tell at breakfast." "Tell me." "Tell me." " What did you dream about?" " I met Henrik." "The guy I was with before you." "We met on an empty street and we talked." "Suddenly I was overwhelmed by desire for him." "I thought: "I haven't felt like this in 20 years."" "We went to a cheap motel and made passionate love." "He was a fantastic lover." "I couldn't get enough and we made love all night long." "The next morning I came back home to you." " Then what happened?" " I woke up." "Let's just go to sleep." " Are you happy?" " That's a very direct question!" " Are you?" " Yes, all in all." "I have an unrealized dream about moving to the country   and opening up a carpentry shop, but ... apart from that ..." "I don't believe you." "I saw it in your face the other night when we talked about adultery." "You looked terrified." "When Susanna said marriage was a wall against solitude " " and had nothing to do with love, I looked at you." "Why did it scare you so much?" "I don't know." "The other night when the two of us were alone and I was scared.   you were the only one who noticed." "Suddenly I thought:" ""You feel the same way as me."" ""Lars feels the same way as me."" "Maybe I was just desperate." "Was that it?" "Was it?" "You were afraid that your marriage was like that." "Gee." "I haven't cried in years." "Susanna hates it when I cry." "I haven't told anyone this." "I was able to have children." " Physically, I mean." " But you didn't want to." "I didn't want children, but women aren't allowed to say that." " Do you think I'm horrible?" " No." "Ulf is getting desperate." "He longs to celebrate Christmas with his children and grandchildren." "I'm sure he's going to panic and meet a young, beautiful woman   who'll give him all the children I denied him." "Don't be afraid." "We mustn't." "I know." "I'd better go home." "I just want to start all over now." "I thought you were content with your life." "Content." "I'm 45 years old." "I don't have time to be content with just being content." "I want to be happy and I haven't been in   ten years, at least." "Why haven't you opened up that carpentry shop?" "Susanna thinks it's ridiculous." "Ridiculous?" "We could do it." " Would you like to?" " It would be fantastic." "I could open up a cafe ..." " What?" " That's exactly what Susanna said." " How awful." " No, why?" "I'm just a variation on a theme then." "No." "I'm not risking everything for a variation." "You're cute when you're angry." "Do it again." "I'd better get that." "Hello." "Hi, darling." "Not at all." "I've just eaten." "A great big ... piece of meat." "Right, I'll remember that." " Wow, you look great." " Thank you." "What's for dinner?" "Today we're having codfish and zucchini soup." " Hello." " Hi, Lars." "Thank you." " Doesn't she look great?" " Absolutely." "Lars?" " What's going on?" " Nothing." "You've had sex." "I can tell." "If your best friend can't tell when you've had sex, who can?" "Okay." "You're right." "Things are much better between Ulf and me." " Wonderful." "Did you talk it through?" " Yes." "A good relationship is all about honesty." "I panic at the thought of Lars finding someone else, so I'd lose all that." " Come on, Lars loves you." " All the more reason to be afraid." "I don't know anyone with less reason to be." " You don't?" " No." "Let's behead the little devil." " What's up?" " What?" " I'm asking you." " No, why?" "I'm just ... thinking." "At that conference in Oslo, I met someone." "We were up all night talking." "I haven't done that in years." "It was like ..." "Both of us knew that if one of us took the first step, it would happen." " So did you?" " I could have." " Think I should call her?" " How should I know?" " Would it be stupid?" " Certainly." "No. 1, you're married." "No. 2, who wants to be unfaithful?" " But if you were in my shoes ..." " Well, I'm not in your shoes, am I?" "And I've never been unfaithful, so ..." " It depends on how serious it is." " It's serious." "That's even worse then." " That stuff you said about sex ..." " Or lack of it." "It can't be good to suffer year after year, with both of you missing it ..." " It's not fair to Ann, either." " It sure isn't." "I should do something about it." "Or I'll end up mean and bitter." "And it must be worse to spend this short life   being mean and bitter than being unfaithful." "Am I right?" "If you keep it inside, " " you're going to explode." "That would be a thousand times worse." " So should I call her?" " You haven't got a choice." "Damn it, I will." "Lars has had a terrible week." "Remember his unfaithful colleague?" "The nurses froze him out so he had to quit his job." "So who's left with all the work?" "My poor darling husband." " What did they do?" " Women are sneaky." " You know that, Ulf." " No, I must have missed that." " Where do you want to go, then?" " Tuscany." "Why have you changed your mind?" " I don't feel like going to Provence." " But it's our dream to go to Laureux." "Still, you can't blame a woman for wanting to be with her husband." " But why Tuscany, for Christ's sake?" " Because I'd rather be with you." "I don't get it." " Don't you want to be with me?" " Yes, but not necessarily in Tuscany." " Anything wrong with Tuscany now?" " No, not at all." "Have you got anything going on in Tuscany?" " What?" " That waitress you flirted with?" "What waitress?" "I don't know what you mean." "Do I?" " No ..." " The young one at the restaurant." " Oh, come on!" "She was just ..." " Don't you think I saw you?" "You kept flirting with her." "But she laughed at you behind your back." "This is crazy." "I had to apologize to her when we left and say   you weren't some child-molesting Viagra-popping middle-aged man." "I just smiled at her." "Is that against the law now?" "It's the Italian way." "Ciao, bella." "Bambini." "Maybe if you weren't so uptight, it wouldn't bother you so." "What are you getting at?" "That I've cheated on you?" "Huh?" "That really hurts, Ann." "That you'd even think that about me." "Maybe I should go talk to her." "Ulf ... what's this all about?" " What the hell are you doing?" " I can't stand it any longer." " We can't keep this secret." " We have to." "It's not the right time." " There's never a right time for this." " You'd crush Ulf." "Think about him." " You'd feel better, but he wouldn't." " Why do you care about Ulf now?" "Spare me the sarcasm." "You're my mistress, not my wife." " You're fine then, are you?" " I feel guilty towards Susanna." "Why?" "Because I aroused something in you, your wife couldn't?" "You feel something for the first time in years." "Why feel guilty about that?" "Maybe you should ask Susanna." "She's all for letting it all out." " I'm scared." " But that doesn't make it wrong." "Don't worry." "She doesn't suspect anything." "I told her before that you loved her." "She believed me." "I can't take this." "I thought I could, but I can't." "Sure you can." "Yes." "You have to." "Hey ..." "Something doesn't add up." " What?" " Ann." "She's so hostile." "Toward me, as well." " Something must have happened." " She's just tired." " Sure?" " She said so in the kitchen." "Don't worry, darling." "Now what?" " It'll upset her to see us kissing." " Why?" "We love each other." "Because it reminds her of all the things she doesn't have." "Poor Ann." "She ought to get herself a lover." " Hi." " Is Ann in the kitchen?" "Yes, she's fixing coffee." "About that woman in Oslo ..." "If I do it, it's not because I haven't tried to make it work with Ann." " No, I know." " Ann's got a problem with intimacy." "She can't stand it." "But it's got nothing to do with me." "I've tried to suggest we just lie and hold each other   and show each other some affection." "Is this making you uncomfortable?" "Not at all." " Sure?" " Yes." "For a year now, she hasn't been able to have sex." "Her body just plain refuses." "She's just as upset about it as I am." "But sex isn't everything." "I've told her." "There are other ways to show your love." "If she still loves me, that is." " Why shouldn't she?" " It's poisoned our life." "Only Ann doesn't see because she's so damned cold." "If only she'd open up ..." "I told the woman in Oslo about it and she understood." "I was so relieved." " Why are you telling me all this?" " Why?" "Because you're my best friend." " Sit down." "I want to talk to you." " What about?" " I have something to tell you." " Let's eat first." "No." "I don't know how to begin   or how to put it but ..." " Have you found someone else?" " Yes." " You're too boring to be unfaithful." " You might think so." " Who is she?" " Nobody you know." " Young?" " Not particularly." "In other words, young." "A nurse?" "How original." " Is it serious?" " Serious?" "Are you in love?" "Oh, my God, how touching." "Are you going to move out?" " I don't know." " I'm in the way of your passion." "Want me to move, so you and your whore ..." " Susanna, please." " Maybe this is just what you need." " I don't want to hurt you." " Think you can hurt me?" "Who do you think I am?" "I'm a successful woman." "I am somebody." "No thanks to you." "More in spite of!" "I'm grounded." "I know my own worth." " It won't deprive you of anything." " Apart from you." "Which isn't much ..." "How can you feel deprived because I for once in my life follow my heart?" "You're so pathetic." " I'm sorry." " So pathetic." " Does anyone else know?" " No." "We've only met at her place." "Never here." "I'm married to a considerate cheating husband." "Ann and Ulf will find out." "I can't lie to them." " When are you going to move out?" " I don't know." "Have you thought about Elin?" "She's going to be devastated." " I'll talk to Elin." " And say what?" ""I cheated on your mom with a girl who could be your big sister."" "She's going to hate you for the rest of her life." "Is it really worth that?" "Think I haven't thought about that?" "Think all this that we've built up together " " means that little to me?" "Of course I've thought about it." "And what was your conclusion?" "You either break up with her now or move out this minute." "Are you going to call her?" "No?" "Give me her number then." " Give me her number, Lars." " No." "Lars, give me her number." "Please." "Lars ..." "Give me her number." " No." " Yes ..." "Please." "Please ..." "Give me her number!" "Are you asleep?" "No." " Something just occurred to me." " What?" "Can you forgive me?" " There's nothing to forgive." " Yes." "It's my fault." "No, it isn't." " How can I make it right again?" " Stop it." " Are you thinking about her?" " Stop it." " Is that why you couldn't sleep?" " No." " Tell me about her." " No." "Please." "I'd rather hear about her than let my imagination run wild." "What's her name?" "Stina." "Stina?" "Lovely name." " What do you call her?" " What?" "Do you say "darling" or "my love" or what?" "You called me "honeypie" when we first met, remember?" "Does she know who I am?" " What do you mean?" " Have you told her about me?" " A little." " What?" " A little bit." " What did you say?" "I said I didn't know how I could fall in love with someone else." "That's what I said." " Did you say you have a daughter?" " Yes." "Has she got any children?" " No." " You're made for each other, then." " What do you mean?" " You don't have to play dad." "I love Elin." "You know I do." "Think it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't had children?" "Stop it ... stop it." "Can't the two of you go away for a couple of weeks?" "Try being together for real." "You've only had a few stolen moments together." "Maybe you ought to test being together without it being forbidden." "Huh?" "Lars?" "Can't you do that?" " I don't know how to say this." " What?" "Lars has found someone else." "Oh, my God." "That's terrible." " Do you know who it is?" " Some girl at the hospital." "Younger, naturally." "You hear about midlife crises but never think it'll happen to you." "Have I been blind?" "Did you notice anything?" " Me?" " About Lars?" " No." " He hasn't said anything to you?" " No, why on earth should he?" " You're very close ..." "I haven't talked to him." " He hasn't said anything to Ulf?" " No." "Think it'll last with this woman?" " How should I know?" " But what do you think?" " What does Lars say?" " He hasn't really said anything." "Only that he's in love." "I hope they go through hell!" "That she'll be unhappy, and he'll come back so we can go on like before." "Would you like that?" "It doesn't seem likely, does it?" "That he should come back." " If he's so in love like you say." " No." "Now what?" "I told him to go away with her for a couple of weeks   and see how pointless it is when it isn't forbidden." "14 days in a hotel with some bimbo who can't put five words together." "What did he say to that?" " I think he's going to do it." " You think?" "I should find out who she is." "Hire a private detective." " What good would it do?" " I could find her and kill her." " Susanna ..." " I'm serious." "Wait and see." " I think Ulf is on his way." " Ann ..." "I'm so glad I've got you." "Please talk to Lars." "He listens to you." "Beautiful Lars." "Yesterday was great." "I love you." "Your honeypie, Ann." " Susanna." " In here." "Have you seen my cell phone?" "Where the hell is it?" "What's that smell?" "It's you." " Nice." "New?" " My sister gave it me for Christmas." " Remember?" " Oh, right." "I've told them." "They might as well know." " Where's your lovely wife?" " In the kitchen." "Hi." "I've missed you." "What a beautiful dress." "Isn't that the color you keep telling me to wear?" " It's pretty." " Have you smelled his new cologne?" " No." " Smell." "Go ahead." " Sexy, huh?" " Yes." "Will you help me in the kitchen?" "I think it's someone we know." " You do?" " That's why he won't say who it is." "Who could it be?" "Who do you think?" "Think it's someone we know, you and I?" "Horrible thought, isn't it?" "That it might be someone that close." "A traitor." "A backstabbing bitch." " I need to make a phone call." " Ann, wait." " I need your advice." " Yes?" " If it were you ..." " Me?" "If you were in my shoes." "If you were the victim   feeling the unbearable pain of being betrayed by your husband, " " would you then   advise them to go away to see if it worked out?" "It's hard to say when you haven't ..." "But if you were me   and Lars was your husband." "I know it's hard to imagine." "And a horrible thought." "But would you?" "Look ..." " I need to go to the bathroom." " Off you go." "Have you forgotten your dinner partner?" "Show us you can take care of her." "Fill up her glass." "More." "Thanks." "While Lars is away on his love safari, maybe we should do something fun." "I might just take you up on that." "I might as well find something to do while I await the verdict." " I always dreamt about a policeman." " I've got a great big baton." "Unlike Lars ... right, Lars?" "Your baton isn't very big." "The problem is that Lars's new love hasn't told her husband about Lars." "And they can't go away before she's told her husband that little detail." " No." " Tuck your shirt in, Ulf." "Let's get some more wine." "Will you help me open a bottle?" " She knows." " She doesn't know anything." " Only that there's another woman." " Why did you agree to her plan?" "I'll just go away on my own and pretend someone's with me." " How stupid is that." " What do you want me to say?" "You look so sweet together." "Don't they, Ulf?" " Well, what about Tuscany?" " Forget it." "No way." "I think we should go to Tuscany and to Provence." "Lars can take his new girlfriend to Tuscany " " and we'll go to Provence." "What about Ann then?" "Well, she's going to Tuscany." "I don't understand." "Ulf." "This   is from Ann." "Ann ..." ""Beautiful Lars." "Yesterday was great." "I love you."" ""Your honeypie, Ann."" "Hey ..." "Well ..." "I thought you didn't want to know." "It's not the way you think." " What do I think?" " That it's just a cheap affair." " It isn't." "I love Lars." " I don't need to hear any more." " No ..." "I told you." " Know what I think?" "You're both so goddamn unadventurous, " " so unimaginative, that you just took the nearest thing." "Think I haven't considered what's at stake?" " But still ..." " Yes, still." "Has it been going on all the time?" "Don't be afraid." "Remember that dinner?" "That's when it all began." " Did you do it on the table?" " Shut up." "Ulf did me on the kitchen table but it's not love, so ..." " You must've felt something before." " It took me completely by surprise." "But suddenly there was something between us." " I couldn't fight it." " You mean you're not to blame?" "I'm not placing the blame." "I just want to explain why." " Couldn't you just have let it be?" " No." "Even if it meant losing me?" "Good-bye." " I know, but ..." " No, this is good-bye, Ann." "You're pathetic, Susanna." ""Good-bye."" "Are you going to humiliate me, too?" "You let it all go to hell." "You even let your husband go ..." "You little bitch!" "Get out of my kitchen!" " Don't yell at me." " You're fucking my husband." "Get out!" " After all these years ..." " Fucking asshole!" " You never took care of him." " Get out." " Who's the biggest loser, Susanna?" " I am." "I trusted you, you bitch." "Go to hell." "Get out." "Get lost, goddamn it!" " I'm sorry." " About what?" "That you lied about being infertile?" "Played frigid?" "Or that you fucked him?" " The list goes on forever." " You know what I mean." "No, I don't." "How low can you go?" "Huh?" " Answer me!" " Stop it." " Answer me!" " Be careful!" "Fucking slut!" "Why did it have to come to this?" "I've met someone too." "You have?" "In Oslo." "At the conference." " Gee." " Gee what?" "I just wasn't expecting it." "You thought you were the only one?" "We met and talked." "I hadn't felt that open and honest with a women in a long time." "I don't know how we got that intimate." "But I felt how I'd missed being close." "That night I was happier than I've been in years." " I don't want to hear any more." " Know what was so absurd about it?" "All we did was talk about you." "I don't know why it turned out like this." "Or why I turned out like this." " But not with him?" " No." "Not with him." "For years we've felt our marriage growing more and more empty." "All I could bring myself to do   was to carry on with those stabs of pain " " while everything fell apart around me." "I was desperate to get back together with you." "I kept hoping something would happen   to help us find the spark again." "Why?" "You've always held it against me that I didn't tell you I was infertile." "Know why?" "I was scared to death you wouldn't want me." "Because I loved you with all my heart." "Don't you think it's painful to see that love fade away?" "What the hell do you see in her as a woman?" "I'll disregard her looks or I'll feel insulted, but what's on the inside?" "How can you imagine a life with her?" "I don't get it." "It seems pointless to ask for your forgiveness." "Then why do it?" "Because it feels wrong." "To love someone else?" "To hurt you." "You can give Ann those." "We have to get along." " You and me and her?" " The two of us." "You and me." "For Elin's sake, if nothing else." " Christ!" " Is it far fetched to think of Elin?" "Let Elin decide for herself." "You won't prevent me from seeing her?" "I can't, legally." "So your plan works out." " That Elin is your security." " For what?" " Your life." " Who deceived who, huh?" "Stop talking about those pills!" "If anyone is using Elin as security, it's you!" "Don't project your own disappointments onto her!" "Have there been others?" " Have there been others?" " No." " Never?" " No, never." "If you don't know someone after 20 years, how will you ever ..." " No one knows me like you do." " That makes it even sadder then." "Because you're the one I loved." "Hello, darling." "What's up?" "Okay, I'm on my way." "Elin." "She's had her first fight with her boyfriend." "I'll pick her up." "I want you to move out now." "I haven't felt this close to you in a long, long time." "In a very long time." "Avery, very long time." "Since both parties have contributed to the family's increased fortune,   we have decided to divide the estate equally among the two parties." "Any comments?" "Susanna?" " Lars?" " We've divided the household goods." "Are you in agreement, Susanna?" "I hereby declare your divorce valid according to the law." "SIX MONTHS LATER" " Did you remember the gift?" " It's in the kitchen." " What did you get?" " Sunglasses." " How much do I owe you?" " A lot. 2700." " 2700?" " It's a token of your love." " Yeah, but still." " Isn't Elin's love worth 2700 kroner?" " We sound like we're still married." " And we aren't." "Come with me to the kitchen." "Do you like them?" "You obviously don't." "But your opinion isn't really important anymore." "Know what springs to mind when I think of our life together?" "Prison." "Suffocation." "Claustrophobia." "Horrible things like that." "I don't know how I stood it out." "Why didn't I rebel?" "Cheers." "Good to see you again." " You too." " In spite of everything." " Elin isn't coming." " She doesn't want to see me." "What did you expect?" "She's ashamed of you." "Or to put it in her own words:" "she thinks you're repulsive." "Tell her I'll call her tomorrow." "Stay for dinner." "It's stupid to throw it out." "You've lost weight." "Because of Ann?" "I'm glad you're happy." "I couldn't bear it if nothing good came of this." " Aren't you happy?" " Very much so." "Seems I'm still quite a catch." " Young?" "Old?" " Younger than you." "And fit." " You move fast." " What he gives me, you never did." "Thanks." "For a moment there, I felt good about myself." " Did you know there are two G spots?" " No, in fact I didn't." "Me neither." "But he found it." "My second G spot." " I have the wildest orgasms." " You look lovely." "Thank you." "I was nervous about seeing you." "Now that I finally feel I've moved on." " Me and Ann ..." " Enough said." " It's over." " No." "Yes." "She and Ulf have renewed their vows   and opened up a little cafe on Gotland." "I'm sorry." "Think we've learned anything from all this?" "Maybe, but we won't benefit from it." "Not together." "Then what the hell was it all good for?" "To be honest I do think about you now and then." "I'm wiser." "Now I know what's important and what isn't." "That's what cancer patients say, but it doesn't cure them." "All the negative things you said about me, you were right." "You read like an open book." "You're trying to sell yourself." "But I'm not buying." "I'm glad you're wiser, but it doesn't concern me." "I want us to go on like before." "Well, not like before ..." "See each other again with our new insight." "Or else I don't see the point of this hell we've been going through." "You'll have to do it with someone else."
