"I came here and cleaned." "Come." " Are you in pain?" " Not now." "I've missed you but I didn't want to bother you." "You couldn't." "Tell me how you've been." "The usual." "You always say that." "I want you to tell me." "I'll just make us some tea first." "I'd been with you at the hospital and went straight to work." "It was like any other morning, yet it wasn't." "It felt strange." "The last house after so many years in the business." "New people." "New stories." "How do you do?" "What do you want?" "Name's Evert Nilsson." "If you've got a minute, I'll test your vacuum cleaner." "No." "I can come back later." " What are you doing?" " There's someone out there." " Exciting." " What are you looking for?" "Where's the thermometer?" " It's on the window sill." " Like hell it is." "It's on the window sill." "That's odd." "How did it get here?" "Hello?" "Aren't you going to the job centre today?" " Anything in the paper?" " Yes." "Television sets can catch fire very easily." "All it takes is a drop of candle wax on a hot component and you've got a flame." "The dust catches fire." "In a plastic TV this can create quite a bonfire." " Says who?" " Roger Wikström at SEMKO." " SEMKO?" "What's that?" " It doesn't say." "Bloody idiot!" "Who are you looking at?" "That idiot who's always standing on his balcony." "He usually does that." " That's what I said." "He's always there." " Let him." " Bloody idiot!" " Come off it." " Yeah, right." "Never give a damn." " That's not what I said." "Maybe it's a trick." "Why should it be a trick?" "You said it was a trick." "Why?" " What trick?" " I don't know." "What the hell..." "It's a man." "Don't shout at me." "I'm shouting at him, not you." "Something's not right!" "What are you thinking?" "I don't know..." " Say something." " What can I say?" "This is how it is." "We have to accept it." "It's just how it is." "Martin, wait!" "There's other ways." " We just can't afford it." " We'll take a loan." "Listen..." "What do you want, really?" "We need to think this through." "You and I. I've got an idea." "Let's check into a hotel." "Yes, today." "Right now." "Eat out." "What do you say?" "That's silly!" "Exactly." "Bloody dog!" "Leif!" " Will you open the door?" " How?" " He looks like Laurel and Hardy." " Who?" " Him at the door, obviously." " Does he look like Laurel or Hardy?" " Or does he look like both of them?" " What?" "You said he looks like Laurel and Hardy." " He can't look like both of them." " The fat one, then." "Happy?" "Evert Nilsson." "I'm looking into the kinds of vacuum cleaners people use." "Could I possibly have a look at yours?" "It's right here, ready for inspection." " We're not interested." " I believe you." "It's nothing special." " Can I turn it on?" " We're not buying anything." "Did you hear that?" "Sounds like something's got inside the engine." "Well, I don't know..." "Must have happened when we leant it to his brother." "He did some plaster work in his house." " He vacuumed up plaster with it." " Your brother, was it?" "Yes..." " What are you writing?" " Just taking notes." "Has he ruined it?" "It's got inside the engine, and that's not really the idea." "Why did he do that?" "How the hell am I supposed to know?" "Ask him." " Does it matter?" " It does." "You end up dragging a fan around rather than a vacuum cleaner." " That's not the idea." " Exactly." "We don't want a new vacuum cleaner." "I'm just stating the facts." "How would you approach it?" "What would be your priority when buying a new one?" " The price?" "The make?" "Suction?" " Neither." " Neither." " The price, I think." " Oh, look." "What a little sweetie." " Careful!" "It falls down easily." "I'll be on my way." "Enjoy your day." " That's the best I can manage." " I'd rather listen to you." "The lady with the dog." "Who'd guess at her secrets?" "Little darling dog..." "Come here, Hubby." "Bless you, my dear!" "Has he got a cold?" "Look at that." "A man of the cloth cursing." " I only asked if he's got a cold." " Who?" "I'm a salesman." " Vacuum cleaners." " I see..." "Vacuum cleaners." " What was it Ove sold?" " Ove?" "My son." "He was selling something..." "It wasn't vacuum cleaners." "And now he's driving this ice-cream van." "It was something else." "He sold things over the phone." "Yes" " I think it was those snowballs." "As I was saying..." "I hardly ever see him these days - after the accident." "He's on crutches - it's his hip." "About the vacuum cleaner." " You've got Heinrich's appetite." " Heinrich?" "Though he wasn't as strongly built as you." "But he had the appetite." "Not towards the end, of course." " Do you hear him?" " Who?" "I hear him." "Shit!" " I'm a bit nervous." "Aren't you?" " Nervous!" "Why?" "We don't know." " What don't we know?" " What he looks like." "What does it matter?" "He doesn't know what we look like." "What bus was it?" "I'd better phone and ask." " Stop calling them all the time." " Why?" "What are you wearing?" "The one you bought in Borås?" "I look like a fat Elvis in that." "You look great in it." " You should wear it." " Don't just stand there." " Do you have a temperature?" " Yeah... 3 7.5 or 6." "What are you doing with that?" "This is yours, isn't it?" "Can you never put the seat down?" " What?" " You called." "No..." "No, I didn't." " Who were you talking to?" " Don't do that!" " What's going on?" " Nothing." " Who were you talking to?" " Someone asking for a street." " Which street?" " Boob or Boober Street." "I'm not sure." " Boober Street?" "Never heard of it." " No." " What's wrong?" " Feels like a hair in my throat." "Damn axle weight..." "When are you going to start driving?" "You've been reading that for two years." " Get your own licence." " Maybe I will." "Right." "Good luck!" " What do you mean?" " It's either in your blood or it's not." "He threw it down from the balcony." "What's that?" " He threw it down from the balcony." " Forget about him." " Why are you getting dressed?" " I've got to wear something." " What happened to Monika?" " She's in hospital." "Roy did it." "He beat her up." "He flipped and beat her up." "What a bastard." " Great!" "Wear that tomorrow." " What, this?" "They don't know English, anyway." "Then what happened?" " With what?" " With Roy and Monika." "He went to visit her in hospital, brought flowers and stuff." "He didn't dare go in." "Just peeked in and left." "What's this, eh?" " What about the flowers?" " He chucked them away." "Lars-Åke and Anna-Karin are going to adopt." "Per-Åke." "Are they?" "Weren't they getting a divorce?" " Weren't they getting a divorce?" " It's in the next episode." "Bloody dog!" " What are you doing?" " Taking things off the TV." "The water could cause a fire." "Anything could burn." "It's just electricity." "You could get a fire in the cooker, in the fridge, the fan, the toaster..." "We should get a new TV, a smaller one." "We could rent one." " What are you doing?" " It's too heavy." "You're not meant to lift a TV, there's wheels." "What if you have to?" "Like that woman I read about." "Her TV caught fire." "Poof!" "Just like that." "She couldn't lift it." "Burnt her arms really badly." "And what happened when she tried to throw it out?" " How the hell should I know?" " It was too big." "Her house burnt down." " And?" " She should've had a smaller TV." "Or a bigger window." " What's the room number?" " 624." " This way." " 624 is this way." "It's up here!" "It's great!" "Sort of Japanese." "That's weird!" "Look at this, Malin!" "A big Jacuzzi." " Are these from you?" " No." "They are!" "Malin..." "Come here!" "Come here." "Shall we have a bath first?" "I'll start the water!" "You can see far." "You see a lot." "Sometimes there's roe deer." "That's not quite right, I feel." "So near the houses." "Ove ran into one with his van once." "The poor creature was still alive so he had to kill it." "With a frozen chicken, I think." "Would you like to see him?" "Who?" "Ove." "Do you play an instrument?" "Instrument?" "No." "Neither does Ove." "It's a pity." "But he gave me this instead." " Sweet, isn't it?" " Yes, it is." "Now he just stands there on his balcony, looking." "You'll stay for dinner, won't you?" "Stuffed cabbage leaves." "Heinrich loved stuffed cabbage leaves." "You were here a few weeks ago, weren't you?" "I was passing by and thought I'd get a trim." "I liked what you did." "It was a good haircut." "If you can fit me in?" "Sure I can." "Absolutely." " Please." " Thanks." " Over here, right?" " Yes." " How much should I take off?" " As little as possible." "Just give it a trim." "You know, so you hardly notice." " You live round here, don't you?" " Yes." "I live behind the Co-op." " Got the day off, then?" " Yeah..." "That is, I work from home." "I see." "What do you do?" "Well, I'm..." "I'm unemployed." " What about you?" " Me?" "I work here." "I'm a hairdresser." "Of course..." "Stupid question." "I used to work in a fish shop." "We sold..." "An aquarium shop, that is." "We sold aquarium fish." "Though they went bust." " Have you had the salon long?" " I just work here." "Kim's the owner." " Oh, right." "She's Korean, isn't she?" " No." "You've got nice hair." "Do you think?" "Thanks." " You made it nice when you cut it last." " Is that so?" "That's a fact." " Have you lived here long?" " No." "Seven years." "It's just temporary." " I'm more of a woodsman, really." " Is that so?" "Help!" " Ow!" " Oh, God, I'm so sorry." " No, it's me." "I got cramp in my leg." " No, I cut you." "You're bleeding." "I'll get a Band-Aid." "It's just a little cut." "It was my fault." "I don't know what happened." "I don't usually get cramp like that." " Shall I go on?" " Sure." " Do you have a dog?" " No." "I've never had a pet." "Apart from a squirrel, but you wouldn't call that a pet." " You had a squirrel?" " Yes." " You did?" "For real?" " Yeah." "It was when I was living in a cottage in the country." "I had a squirrel." "It's true." "One day as I was sitting on the porch it jumped up on the steps." "It just sat there staring." "It sat there for a long time, and I stared back." "It was really cute." " Did it have a name?" " Klas." " Klas?" " Yes." "Klas the wood mouse - or squirrel." "Yeah, right." "Looks all right." "So what did Klas do when you left?" "Must've been hard to leave him behind." "That's enough now, don't you think?" "You can hardly see any difference." "Looks great to me." "Perfect." "It's absolutely perfect." "I only wanted a trim, you know." " That'll be 180." " Right." "That's the hair done again." "Thanks." " Here's your change." " Thanks." "Maybe I should get some shampoo." " How much is this, 25?" " 250." "I'll take it next time." " You'll still be here, I hope." " Yes." " I work here." " Yeah, right." " What's your name, by the way?" " I'm Sara." "Hi, I'm Leif." "Fancy going out one evening?" "You and me?" "For a meal or a glass of wine?" "Yeah, maybe." " I'll drop by." " Yes, sure." " What's happened here?" " It's nothing." "I scratched myself." "I'm going out with the guys tonight." " Guys?" "What guys?" " What's his name, Lelle, phoned." " Lelle from the aquarium shop?" " Yeah, that's him." " That's great." "Just you and him?" " No, it's a whole bunch of people." "Petter, too." "I'll probably be back late." " Will you stay here?" " Don't worry about me." " It's been ages since you went out." " Exactly." "I don't really feel like it, but I don't want to disappoint them." " Thanks, I think I've had enough." " I don't want any leftovers." "Hubby!" "You want some vegetables, too." "Excuse me..." "Could I use your loo?" "I suppose so." " What's the noise?" " They're lifting out the Feuer woman." " Who?" " The woman with the dog." " Who's doing the carrying?" " The vacuum cleaner man." "And the guy on the balcony, I think." "Move over!" " I can't see a thing." " They've put her in an ice-cream van." "What do you think's happened?" "...moving in from Great Britain and will affect the southern parts." "Back to you, Ulf." "Oh no, I wasn't listening." "I didn't hear the weather." "Did you?" "Does it matter what the weather will be like?" "We're not going out." "I like to know." "That's disgusting!" "Change channels!" "Why?" "Nature programmes should be disgusting." " Are they gone?" " Yes, they're gone." "They're not!" "They came back." "I couldn't help it." "They're gone." "It's just an old elk now." "Christ, they're so strong." "Look at them..." "Really strong." "If you were to blow one up to the size of a human, it would be able to bite off a tree with its bare teeth." " Ants don't have teeth." " No, but if they did." "How do you know?" "They may well have teeth." " Of course they don't." " Then what do they have?" "I don't know - some kind of orifice, I suppose." " A sucking mouth, maybe." " No." " Yes, like this!" " What sucking mouth?" " Like this?" " Yeah, something like it." " They don't have sucking mouths." " Of course they do!" "They don't have teeth." "Listen, listen!" "Guess what I saw yesterday!" "It was amazing!" "A yawning sparrow." "Shit..." "It's pitch black everywhere." "Must be a power cut." " What was that?" "Who was it?" " A man." "He was just staring." "Shit." "I bet it's the fat vacuum cleaner man again." "Is he still out there?" "He's leaving now." " That's weird." " What's weird?" "Testing vacuum cleaners when there's no electricity." " It is." " Yeah." " Do you want another haircut?" " No, no, no." " Did you see the power cut?" " Yes." " Do you want to buy something?" " No, I'll just wait here." "So what do you want?" "Well, I was thinking..." "About that dinner - we could do it tonight, if you're free." "I thought you were joking." " Why would I do that?" " I thought you were like that." "No." "Why should I be?" "I'm busy, anyway." "With him." "Do you want anything else?" "Coffee?" "Brandy?" "Excuse me..." " What?" " It's not important to you, is it?" " That we can't have children." " We agreed not to talk about it now." "Can't you just answer my question?" " What's the question?" " What do you think?" "Please, don't get like that." "Just be honest so I know where we stand and how I can move on." " What do you mean?" " Can I get you anything else?" "Thanks, we're fine." "What the hell..." "You must see I've got to..." "We weren't going to talk about this tonight." "I want to have children." "I need it." "My body's crying out for it." " Unlike you, I haven't all my life." " I know." "And I want kids." " But you won't make any sacrifices." " I will!" " No, you won't!" " You make it sound as if..." " As if what?" " It's not a matter of will but facts." "It's about my bloody..." "my bloody sperm!" " We're only arguing because of them!" " Jesus, you go on!" "It's just words to you." "It doesn't mean a thing." "What does it mean to you?" " It's serious!" " Calm down." "Do you think it's a game for me?" "That wanking off into a jar turns me on?" "Then go and fuck someone with a big cock!" "It's what you want!" "Good." "Good." "Now I know where you stand." "Good!" "Malin, I'm sorry." "Malin..." "Malin, wait!" " Malin..." "Where are you going?" " None of your business." "But it's your birthday tomorrow." "It's been such a strange day." "Leif?" "Christ, Leif!" "What is this?" "Get up, Leif!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Get up, will you." "What's going on?" "Here." "It's asleep." "My arm's asleep." "I thought you were going out." "I thought you were staying in." " Where have you been?" " I've been bowling." " Bowling?" " Yes, I've been bowling." "Bowling?" " You don't bowl." " Yes, I do, actually." " So that's..." "That's the way it is." " What?" " What's his name?" " What are you talking about?" "What am I talking about?" "You're wondering what I'm talking about?" "What am I talking about?" "I'm talking about..." "I'm talking about the car I saw you driving." "You can't drive." "Or - can you?" " Do you know how to drive?" " Yes." "Listen to me, Leif." " It was my sister who thought..." " Hang on." " Your sister's car?" " No, the licence." "Hang on..." " It's your sister's licence?" " Listen to me, Leif." "When I visited my sister last spring I did one of those crash courses." "Then I bought the car." "As a present for you when you got your licence." "It's our car." " So you've been out bowling?" " Let's sit down, Leif." "It's all shit." "This." "I'm taking this." "It was going to be a surprise." "Hi." "How's things?" "Under control..." "Evert, are you asleep?" "I'll just get a glass of water." "Just a glass of water." "Are you up at this time of night?" "It's all right." "It's all right." "You just eat." "You deserve it." "You're wonderful, you know." "I love you, my little pumpkin." "I'm sorry." "I don't know what got into me." "I just had such a craving." "I was having that dream again, it just came over me." "I'm lying there unable to move, like a big bird without wings." "I couldn't sleep either." "It's the full moon." "It keeps you awake." "You're so good to me." "You always were." "Without you I couldn't..." "My little pet, I love you so much." "I'll get another plate." "Evert, I can't." "I'm sorry." "Hang on." " Where have you been?" " I fell asleep on the underground." "I missed the stop." "I walked through some field and wandered about until I got to Långbro." "I didn't think you'd be here." "Do you mind?" "No." "Let's go to bed now." "Shall we go to bed?" "I was scared." " I love you." " What do you want?" " What do you want?" " I want us to do this together." "Aren't we?" "Do you want children?" "I don't know." "I honestly don't know." "Your favourite flavours." " Orange or nut chocolate?" " Orange." "There's lasagne, too." "Shall we?" "We've been good, you and me, haven't we?" "Are you sure?" "I've spent most of the time at home." "You've been out meeting lots of people." "Got to see what they live like." "Like him with no furniture." "Tell me about him again." "He was very strange." "But not the way you'd think." "I liked him a lot." "He had the curtains drawn." "The living room was completely bare." "I asked if he was moving but, no, he was rearranging the furniture." "Then I saw it." "It was hanging from the ceiling." "It would make the energy in the flat move in the right way, he said." "We sat on the floor and listened." "What was it?" "A trumpet?" "No, a clarinet." "I love you." "I'm just too pathetic." "Sitting in the damn basement feeling sorry for myself." "Why can't I sit here?" "Nobody cares, anyway." "Hiya." "Are you moving?" "Moving?" "No, no, I'm just..." "rearranging stuff down here." " Let me know if you need a hand." " I'm fine." "Fine." "I'm more or less done." "I'm Michel." "I live on the third floor." " Are you French?" " What?" "Oh, Michel." "No, I'm more of cocktail, like." "It's nice." "No the ferret or whatever it is." "This is Klas." "Bye." "HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY!" "I LOVE YOU" "Then you give her the binoculars so that she can see the tickets." "I'll get fired for this." "But, it's her birthday." " But listen - two minutes, tops." " That's great, bro." " Sure you've got the right place?" " Yeah, behind the bridge." " By Gamla Stan, except you..." " I know where Gamla Stan is." " And Malin doesn't know?" " She hasn't got a clue." "You've got to stay until she sees the tickets." "That's the point." " I'm sure Crete is hot in April..." " I'm not so sure." " Just be ready." " Sure thing." "Thanks L.G." " Say hello to Malin." " Speak to you later." " Who were you talking to?" " L.G. He says hello." "What's this?" "Surprise of the day." "In about four hours." "Listen..." "Martin." "We'll talk about it later." "I told you it was the wrong bus." "Damn!" " Now what?" " My back, what do you think!" " We should have taken the car." " Stop nagging!" " Well, why didn't we?" " It's not a coffee party, is it?" "We could've taken a taxi home." " And picked up the car tomorrow?" " Yes, we could've done that." " We should've asked the bus driver." " Sure, if he'd spoken Swedish." "There has to be some bloody person to ask!" " Shall we try to find a taxi?" " We're not made of money!" "What the hell!" "So what do we do?" " Start walking." " But that's north." "They live south." "What do you know about the points of the compass?" "They live over there." " But isn't that the Kaknäs Tower?" " The Eiffel Tower, more likely." "We should've taken the car." "Rune, stop!" "You're walking in the wrong direction!" "Rune, wait for me!" "We're going back to Kramfors, you and me." "They sent me home." "They do that nowadays unless you're dead." "And Hubby has to go out." " Your husband?" " I can't manage." "Do you drink coffee?" " Eh, no, yes..." " And I've got biscuits." "It would make me so happy!" "This way." "Step right in." "We'll sit in here." "I'll get the coffee." "Are you going somewhere?" "No, they're empty." "More or less." "Do sit down!" "Here's the coffee." "And some buns." "I hope you like them, they're almond buns." "Do you like it?" "Very nice." "Bengt?" "Bengt?" " What?" " Isn't your name Bengt?" "It's Leif, actually." "Leif..." "I think." "Hubby!" " Do you play anything?" " No, I don't play." "That's a shame." "Heinrich, he played the clarinet." "My Heinrich." "Music meant everything to him." "But I don't understand what became of Hubby." "That's Heinrich playing." "I see him before me." "They stand there along the streets, waving." "And there he goes past." "Hitler." "In his Mercedes." "And they're all screaming!" "And Heinrich, he's playing his clarinet." " So he played in an orchestra?" " Yes." "He played to everybody." "He played to Hitler." "He played to the bombs." "And now..." "Now I only hear him faintly." "Sounds good, though." "They play well." " Have you seen him?" " No, I don't know where he's gone." "There." "Heinrich." "He was so handsome." "He was so handsome in his youth." "He looks like..." "He looks like that actor." " The one with the window." " Window?" " Hitchcock." " Heinrich." "Yes, I mean... him with..." " So you were married?" " Yes." "Fifty-two years." "He died three years ago." "The clock stopped." " How old was he?" " It wasn't his fault!" "The bastards!" "Look." "Heinrich's cupboard." "This is where he died." "In here." "He didn't want any windows, you see." "He was in pain and I felt it with him." "So your husband..." " He died inside this cupboard?" " Yes." "Heinrich grew so small, you see." "He was always telling me to close the door." "I'd help him with his legs so he'd be comfortable." "And he'd always say, "Close the door!" I'll show you." "Hand me the picture now." " The picture?" " Yes, of Heinrich!" "Give me Heinrich!" "And please push the door to." " What?" " Close the door so it gets dark." "Jesus Christ!" "God is dead." "God is dead.!" "I'll be off now." "Don't you see?" "He's dead." "He's dead.!" "Dead, dead, dead, dead..." "Your dog!" "Your dog.!" "And my suitcases.!" "I need my suitcases!" "Hello." "I'm the neighbour." "We..." "Bye now." "Bloody madman!" "Hang on..." "Okay, I've told you." "They are what they are." "You open it." "Hello, darling!" "Sorry we're late, we got lost." "How was the trip?" "Hello, I'm Sonja." "Delighted." " Hi, I'm Rune." " Hi." "Some crazy bastard outside was shouting about his suitcase." " We were wondering what..." " But you get used to it out here, eh?" " But maybe you're not used to it yet." " Take off your coat, Dad." " Lunch is almost ready." " We've brought the drink." "It's a bit early but today's special." "I'll have a Martini." "You want stronger stuff, don't you?" "How about a stiff whisky?" "I want a Martini." "I'll get the glasses." "And ice." "There it is." "We gave it to Elin when she moved in." "What do you think of it?" " Very nice." " Bloody expensive." " You had one, didn't you?" " Yes." " He passed away three years ago." " Old Frassie." "Not much life left in him the last few years." " Dogs are nice." " Aren't they?" "Any peanuts, darling?" "Dry-roasted." "Well, well!" "Look here, Rune." "I'll just see to the food." "L.G.?" "Who's your hairdresser?" "Does it matter who his hairdresser is?" "I just thought his hair was nice." "It's a salon in the area." "So you can't get another job, you said?" "No, things look bad." "Working in a mental hospital isn't your thing, I'd imagine." "I don't know..." " Bit of a non-starter." " That's not true!" "Sure, it's where the future lies." "The way things are going they'll have to extend that sector pretty fast, believe me!" "What a way to talk!" "What's that?" "UFO News." ""Wedge-shaped, soundless object above Lake Sottern."" "Sottern..." "Where the heck is Lake Sottern?" "Between Uppsala and Norrtälje." "Are you going to sit there and read?" "We were talking about you and about mental health." " We didn't." " What did you conclude?" " Nothing." " Nothing?" "That's in your head!" "There's nothing there!" "It is a bit yucky - all those loonies running loose." "One of them stopped me the other day." "Not stopped, exactly, but he was staring at me." "I asked him what he wanted, but he just went on staring, his face blank." "So I didn't hang around, did I?" "It's true." " Do you need any help?" " It's a roast." "I'm not sure..." "Let's take a look." "Hear that?" "A roast." " Miguel." " Michel." "There's more whisky." "Here, have some more." " We're not eating out here, are we?" " Yes." "It's so much nicer in the living room." "We should have the roast in there." "There's more room there." "Daddy doesn't like being cramped." "Come and give us a hand.!" " Life's weird, you know." " Give us a hand, boys.!" "And if you had the choice what would be your dream job?" "I don't know." "I never thought of it like that." " If you could choose?" " I wouldn't go back to the shoe shop." " No one asked you." " Christ!" "Is talking forbidden?" "Archive." " Maybe some kind of archive." " You've never mentioned that." " What kind of archive?" " You heard him." "It could be something for me." " Would you be working underground?" " No, I don't think so." "In a basement, perhaps." "I don't really know." " What do you do in an archive?" " "An"?" "There are several!" "They're all different." " Could be interesting." " I know nothing about such things." "It just makes me think of that archive in East Germany." "You know that old leader." "Him with the glasses..." "He's dead now." "He looked like one of our old teachers." "All severe and cold." "For God's sake, he's not talking about one of those archives." "Are you?" "No." "An archive sounds good." "Excuse me." " So how is the nursing home?" " It's a retirement home." "It's fine." "I'll get it!" "Hello." "I'm Evert Nilsson." "I'm looking into the vacuum cleaners that are used in the area." " Are you a salesman?" " That, too." " Too?" " Who is it, Dad?" "Nobody!" "You heard it - nobody." "Bye-bye!" " Who was that?" " A vacuum cleaner salesman." " Do they still exist?" " Interrupting Sunday lunch!" " Fat like a pregnant pig." " Must be the one we saw." " Rune!" "We forgot the present!" " I've forgotten nothing." " Dad, please..." " This is for the man of the house!" " It's like a sport, you know." " This is the business." "Evert Nilsson." "I'm looking into what vacuum cleaners people use." " I don't really have time..." " I won't be long." "Against your shoulder." "That's it." "Good!" "And again." "There he is, the bastard." "Check it out." "Same as when we were here last." " He's always there." " Bloody imbecile." "There's something feminine about him." "If you want my opinion, he's one of those assholes who abuse little boys." "If you ask me." "Want to have some fun with him?" "Bloody woman!" "Sitting down to die in a cupboard." "What are you doing?" " What?" " What are you looking at?" "Nothing..." "It's nothing." "Go home!" " Why?" " Well, because I say so." " My dad works in television." " Right." "Good for him." "I'm allowed to be here." "Listen, there's dangerous stuff going on here." "I'm a policeman." " You're not." " I am, too." " Have you got a gun?" "Show me." " Go home!" "Get lost!" "Just go home!" "Now you're in for it." "Bloody quasi-ape!" " Was it a hit?" " What?" "I don't know." "Have a look." "Any reaction?" "Don't think so." "He's still standing there." "I can't imagine I missed him." "Your turn." "Aim carefully." "Now shoot." "Shoot, damn it!" "Shit!" "Did you hit him?" " He was staring at me." " You should've aimed at the balcony." " Have you seen any of these UFO's?" " We haven't." "Other people have." " There has to be something out there." " Absolutely." "Jesus Christ..." "Down, down, down!" " What are you doing?" " Hide the rifle, woman!" "My back!" "Let go of me!" " Stop!" " We can't stay any longer." "Shit, the tickets!" "How are you?" " What's happened?" " What the hell do you want?" " I don't want a vacuum cleaner!" " I have no right, I know." "But I'm here and I'll listen if you want to talk." "I know you don't need a vacuum cleaner, but what else can I do?" "This is my life and I like it." "You might think I'm pushy, but, you know, I'm not like that." "I'll listen if you want to talk." "Do you mind if I sit down?" "Of course not." " Leo!" " Yes." " What are you doing, Leo?" " He's a policeman, Dad." "Do you have any ID?" " You work in television, right?" " Yeah, why?" " I thought I recognised you." " I'm a carpenter." " A carpenter, for television?" " Yeah." " Which channel do you work for?" " Where's that ID?" "Hold this..." "Bloody paedophile!" "Thanks for the water and for the talk." "I won't keep you any longer." " I'm sorry about earlier." " Forget it." "I'll see myself out." " She's very pretty." " Yes, she is." " Are you married?" " For the past thirty years." "Siv." "She's seriously ill." "It's here." "There's nothing they can do." "A few months, maybe half a year, the doctor says." "You know seeing someone you love so much suffer in that way..." "Here's my number." "If you need to talk to someone, and I don't mean about vacuum cleaners." "Though that's what I know best." "Come on!" "I was thinking..." " Maybe I'll grow a beard." " A beard?" "What do you think?" "Yes, why not?" "I care for you." "I know." "Come on, let's go inside." "I stayed until their door closed." "I was done there." "I hope they'll be happy together." " Like you and me." " All those people..." "I know you make some of it up." "Yes, a little maybe." "But I've met all of them." "They're all out there." "You're going to be so lonely." "I don't want that." "My beautiful darling." "How could I be lonely when we're always going to be with each other?" "Hold me." "Evert?" "Yes... my love?" "Our cottage Spring '69" "Translation:" "Kajsa von Hofsten"
