"Death is a Caress" "A film based on Arve Moen's novel of the same title" " Could this not have been avoided?" " No." "I think people have to follow the path that lies before us." " Are things decided in advance?" " No." "Everything we learn and experience has an effect on what we do." "Both when make our own choices and when we do not." "As your lawyer I will help you." "But I have to stick to the hard facts." "A number of things do not seem very plausible." "Tell me everything from the beginning, all the details." "I'll try." "It is odd..." "I get warm shivers when I think of the first time I saw her." "It was last spring, an ordinary day." "I was in the shop welding on a car." "Please check the carburettor, it gets stuck so easily." "You have to talk to my boss." "He is on the phone, and I'm in a hurry." "He knows me, and I am sure it's ok." "Fine." " What a deluxe model!" " Expensive to run." "Did you see how she watched Erik?" "My back was turned towards her so she couldn't see my charm." " Can you see what it is?" " Yes, a small detail." "It will not take long." " A cigarette?" " No thanks." "It ought to be fine now." " That was quick." " Could you please start it?" "Nice car." " Are you new here?" " I've been here a couple of weeks." "Ask your boss to charge it to Mrs Rentoft." "Aren't you and Marit getting married?" "An engaged man should watch out for fine ladies like that." "That was the end of the day." "One day closer to death." "RING TWICE" "Don't I look nice?" "I made the blouse myself, and the hat as well." "Very nice." "You think so?" "I am so happy you like me." "Don't wrinkle my new skirt." "That was the afternoon concert." "Erik..." "You were strange today, so different." " Was I?" " Yes." "You bit me." "I bit you?" "I will never do it again." "The weather is so nice." "Shall we go for a walk?" "What's the matter, you silly girl?" "I don't know." "It's just..." " Things were just strange." " Silly darling." "Fix your hair and powder your nose." "Then we'll go out and show you off." "All the guys will envy me." " That one has taken a blow." " Who owns it?" "One of those rich people roaming around town." "He's had numerous accidents and should have been dead many times." " Watch your driving!" " Did I scare you?" "I don't want to become ground beef." "I'm sorry I scared you." "Here you can see the result of bad driving like yours." "Kalle Kristensen's Jaguar." "Surprised that I recognized it?" "With better luck next time it may be harder to recognize me." "Don't you want to help me today?" "I thought your car was fine, maybe too fine." "It is difficult to start." "Maybe you forgot to turn the key or fill it up." "Wires don't just jump off." "Think of something better next time." "I wouldn't give much for her." " Whale sausage..." " My condolences." "What are you upset about, Erik?" "Don't worry, she'll soon come to visit you again." "She just has to find out what's wrong with the car next time." " Shut up!" " Don't get so upset." "She wants you." "She must have tired of the clean shaven daddy's boys." "I've been a ski instructor." "I know the type." " Upper class bitch." " True." "Anyone interested in a driving job tomorrow and Sunday?" "100 kroner." " No, not interested." " So you're going shopping with Marit." " I'm going to a soccer game." " Karlsen?" " I need those days off." " He's going to a cabin with his girl." "Haven't you seen his big smile on Mondays?" " 100 kroner you say?" " Yes." "I'll do it." "Show up tomorrow at 2 p.m. At Lindveien 5, Rentoft's house." "Oh my!" "All right." "Is my boy in a bad mood?" "I regret taking that driving job." "Don't worry." "I forgot to tell you I got a new tablecloth and napkins." "It's at Bjerkes." "It is very hard to get." "You don't seem very happy that I was so lucky." " Yes, of course." " How should I sew them?" " Regular or English seam?" " Is there any difference?" "As big as between a Ford and a Fiat." "How about a movie?" "The movie at the Colosseum is supposed to be good." " Please smile a little." " The driving job ruins my Sunday." " We have many Sundays ahead of us." " I guess we do." "DON'T WALK ON THE GRASS" " Nice ankles." " Don't be silly." "Can I have a cup of coffee?" "No, they'll be here shortly." "That's too bad, Rosalinde." "Or was it Elvira?" "Dork." "We are going to Vestre Slidre." " I'll be back tomorrow night." " All right, Mr director." "Goodbye, Kirsten." "Thank you." "Just put them there." "We do not need you more today." "A room has been booked for you at the hotel." "Come tomorrow after lunch and pick me up." "Do you really have to start that thing right away?" " Clocks must work." " But not tick." "There's nothing like a wooden clock." "Your frail city nerves need some fresh mountain air." "No doubt about it." "Will you help me unpack?" "Thanks." " Are you the Rentoft driver?" " You know them?" "They eat here a lot." "They don't have to cook." "I bet it's quiet for them here." "I think it is quiet here too." "There are no youth this time of year." "It can be quite lively here." "Dancing and nachspiel in the rooms." "Mrs Rentoft socialises a lot." "Thank you." " More?" " No thanks." "Are you sure you'll not be bored here?" "Then I can just go back to town." " How long will you stay in America?" " A couple of months." " Just a business trip..." " Only business?" " Are you implying anything?" " No, how could you think that?" " Just bring back something nice." " Don't I always?" "I'm getting tired." "Mountain air." " Don't forget your shaving kit." " Shaving kit, yes." " How was your stay at the hotel?" " Fine, thanks." "The tenants were a bit old." "It's become an old folks' home." "Very boring." "I stopped it." "I don't like such clocks." "Why not?" "It reminds me that I'm wasting time." " The clock stopped." " Really?" " Maybe you can fix it?" " I don't repair clocks." "I'll make time go by without it." "We have to get going." "Goodbye, my dear." "I couldn't get her out of my thoughts." "The mouth, the eyes..." "Especially the big red mouth." "It was as if it haunted me." "I tried to think about Marit." "Maybe she would drop by, maybe she was already there." "I had to get hold of Marit,   or else I would be thinking about the other one all night." "It's getting warmer." "What nice spring weather we have!" "I wish I was young and fair again!" "How is your love life?" " Butt out." " I meant with Marit." "You didn't think I meant Mrs Rentoft?" "She's not been here for a while now." "Dangerous business like that should be avoided in the spring." "Your garden must be blooming now." "Yes, I'd say." "There's nothing like seeing things grow in your own soil." " You should get a piece of land." " I have other things on my mind." "But I kind of have a garden." " Up in Smestad." " Are you working on it?" "No, I just like the smell." "An evening walk alone?" "I'm just pursuing a smell." " A good one?" " Honeysuckle." "It smells so nice in the dusk." "Right over here." "The bushes are shielding it." "The smell comes from the right when I walk up." " Are you a poet?" " I grew up near a market garden." "I learned to discern scents early on." "I'm discovering new sides of you." "You collect smells, dislike clocks." " And you're rude to young ladies." " Can be polite sometimes, too." "Jump in and let's go for a drive while we wait for the honeysuckle." " When can we expect it?" " Not until dusk." "Let's get something to eat." " This was good." " Yes, very good." " Will you not tell me your name?" " Oh, I'm sorry." "Erik Hauge." "And I take it you go by more than Mrs Rentoft?" "Sonja Rentoft." "Cheers." " Who is Sonja with?" " I have no idea." " It's probably just another guy." " Yes, that Sonja..." "Rentoft does not seem to care." "He has always put Mammon before Cupid." "Who should drive?" "One bottle between us is enough to get us both drunk." "I don't mind driving." "Does it show that I'm drunk?" "No, but it's just as bad if someone hits us." "Your husband told me how unfortunate he had been." "He fell asleep and drove off the road." "He drives clumsily even when he is sober." "What a lack of respect for a poor husband waiting at home alone." "He is in America, and he does not miss me." "Now I think the honeysuckle is waiting for us." "You probably are a poet after all." "Erik, can't you hear...?" "You have to wake up, Erik!" "No, you have to go." "Hurry!" "Please excuse me." "I have lost my way." "Hurry up!" "You have to be out before the girls get up." "I should have shaved, but I guess there is no time." "I thought I was invited." "But you probably made a mistake as well, madame." "The right man in the right bed, that's rare these days." "Don't be angry with me." "The next day I was perplexed." "The safe world I had built around me was falling apart." "The woman I initially wanted to humiliate,   had become an illness in my body." " I'd better go home." " Is that necessary?" "I'm not feeling well, I'm kind of dizzy." "Get well tomorrow, there is plenty to be done around here." "I began wandering around." "I could not go home..." "Marit was probably sitting there, waiting for an explanation." "She had not seen me for two days." "That had not happened since we were engaged." "We were so lonely in Oslo that we stuck together." "I had become even more lonely after I got engaged." "Before I had two or three friends..." "Now when I needed someone to talk to, I didn't even know where they lived." "What are you doing?" "Where have you been these last days?" "Why don't you let me know?" " Marit." "Erik, I have to talk to you." "Please!" "Don't leave!" "What is it this time?" "I am off from work now." "Don't torture me, you know that's not why I came." "Are you pregnant?" "Don't humiliate me." "That's my job." "Please let me talk to you." " What do you want?" " Get in." " You don't have to apologize." " Yes, I've been so confused." "I was so nervous and scared." "You had reason to despise me." "There is one thing I want to ask:" "Why did you take me?" " Did you not feel anything for me?" " First it was your body I desired." "And I wanted to get back at you." "I wanted to show you that you could not treat me that way." "It was a triumph that you didn't get away." "But when you threw me out yesterday..." "Then you won." "You got what you wanted and sent me away." " I was the one who was humiliated." " And now?" "I have just been wandering around." " Do I mean anything to you?" " Something, but I don't know what." "You're not like I thought you were." " Would you like a drink?" " Yes, please." "We can still be friends." " Don't you love me a little?" " Love... that's stretching it." "It would even be too much to say I have a crush on you." "But I will say that I can't get you out of my mind." "I like you a lot, and I think you are attractive." "So you might want to spend some time with me after all?" "You are married." "You have a position." "Do you want to give up all that?" "It's not much to give up." "We're sick of each other." "We have no children either." "If by position you mean money, I'm the one who has that." "If you can run that risk, so can I." "Nobody can take this from me." "Good morning." " Late again today." " He skipped work twice last week." "I don't understand what he's thinking about." "You might get fired if you keep this up." "Kristiansen cursed loudly when you skipped work." "We can't do much for you." "We can't make a case of it." " We can only send a recommendation." " Thank you." "You've been good to me, all of you." "But I am quitting now." "I'm looking for another job, so I'll be fine." " Did he leave?" " Yes, to quit." " He is looking for another job." " He is?" "That's what he said." "But maybe he doesn't have time to work..." "It is very sad, but I would rather that you just moved out." "So you're kicking me out?" "It's been too much of this new lady lately." "This is a respectable house..." "Can't I be with the opposite sex?" "I didn't say that." "I did not say anything when your fiancé hung around." "But that was something else." "Engaged is engaged." " But this..." " Thanks, I'm moving on the 1 st." "On the 1 st, yes." "Old bag." " I didn't hear you come in." " You were busy decorating." "So this is your new den." " It could be cozy here." " It's nice, but..." " Is it the money?" " But you must understand..." "Yes, here we go again." "It's just an old prejudice that the man should always pay." "Now I'm the one with money." "I would feel the same if you were poor." "The poor rich lady is hungry." "Will you allow the lady to buy you dinner, sir?" "Those weeks still seem blurry and unreal to me." "I saw a land of promise I had never even dreamt about." "For two months we were alone in the universe." "She enjoyed spending money with me." "The money did not matter at all in our relationship." "If happiness is sweet joy like that,   then I think we were happy those two summer months." "He will be here tomorrow." "I didn't think he'd be here until Friday." "He arrives at dinner time." "I'll pick him up and tell him everything." " Sonja..." " You don't have to repeat." "Divorce scares you." "I am not so sure it's a good idea that we get married." "I have to clear up this mess." "Best to deal with it right away." "Rentoft doesn't care." "Only when we are free can we begin our lives together." "So be it." " When is the boat here?" " At two." "I will await your call at the hotel." "Then you can tell me how it went." "Can you tell me if "Stavangerfjord" will be delayed?" "Thanks." "Miss, can you please send up some food?" "I am expecting a phone call, so I can't leave." " That was delicious." " Was it?" "Tell Marta." "She likes to get compliments on her food." "There's nothing like home made food in my opinion." "But you don't seem to agree." "You're not eating at all." "I'm not hungry." "You don't look so good." "Are you feeling ill?" "Me?" "No..." " There is something I need to say." " Nothing unpleasant, is it?" "No... yes." "I want to enjoy my first night here." "It's time to pay our taxes as well, but that can wait until tomorrow." "Tonight we'll enjoy ourselves." "Cheers, Sonja." "Nice to be back here with you." "Yes, hello." "Erik, I can't do it." " What?" " I can't." "Hello, are you there?" "Everything can't just change in a couple of hours." "Nothing happened, I just can't." "Have you been with him?" "Yes." "But this is insane." "You must be mad." "You can't just leave me like this." "I have to see you." "No, we'd better not see each other." "Hello, hello, hello...?" "A week went by that I don't recall." "I finally got up one morning and was filled with two goals:" "Finding a place to live and getting a job." "I thought you didn't want to see me again?" "Forgive me, forget all that." "If it is any comfort, I'll forgive you." "But I can't promise to forget." "Not right now." "It made a bad impression on me." "I know I have been stupid and cruel." "I was out of control." "It is an endless crisis." "I have thought about it all." "Our relationship should stop." "It just happened too abruptly." "As I recall we agreed on something very different the other night." " I wanted to tell you I need you." " Why did you do it?" "It was not as easy as I had thought." "I can be scared and cowardly." "For a while I lacked the courage." "It was mostly because I didn't know if you really wanted me." "You were never very encouraging when we discussed divorce." "Maybe he made an impression on me when he came back." "I didn't want to make a scene right away when he got home." "Just stay with him, that's best." "Then you can take your liberties." "The best of both worlds." "That's most profitable." "I see why you did not want to talk to him the first night." "But nothing that we had could have changed during those few hours." "Why that sudden hurry to break up with me?" "It was an act of desperation." "I had to make a decision before nightfall." "I thought it was the most honest thing to do." "So you spent the night with him?" "Yes." "But I could only think of you." "I have never needed anyone as much as then." "That is why I came back." "Don't you think I have been humiliated enough now?" "Erik..." "Excuse me, do you have a cigarette?" "Thanks." " Are you a witness?" " I would rather call it accused." "Erik Hauge." "Step forward, please." " Name?" " Erik Hauge." " Born?" " December 31, 1918." " Profession?" " Mechanic." " Address?" " Pensjon Frogner." "You are a witness in the Rentoft couple's divorce proceedings." "He claims that his wife has had intercourse with you several times." "Have you had intimate sexual relations with the defendant?" "Yes." " When did this first happen?" " In May." "Is it also correct that you live with the defendant?" "Yes, but we are getting married as soon as this is resolved." " Anything else?" " No." "Since there is no economic dispute, I rest my case." "Agreed." "Thank you, you may leave." " How did it go?" " Life sentence, I think." "As you have promised to live together in holy matrimony, " " I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." "Don't swim out so far, You make me worry." "I want you to say that every day:" "I'm worried about you." ""I am afraid of losing you."" "I will gladly say that without you getting into danger like that." "The day I doubt that, I would swim into eternity." ""Attenzione!"" ""Greetings from San Remo." "We are soon heading home." "Erik."" " Reading the adds?" " Yes." "Job opening." " Will you apply?" " I was planning to." " There's no need." " You have enough money?" "I must have something to do." "Nice to buy one's own fags." "Let's not talk about it now." "The honeymoon is not over." "Erik, look!" "Take it, Sonja." "Cheers!" "The town has been empty after you left." "You've been home for weeks, and we have not seen you." "Can we meet this man, or do you keep him locked up in a cage?" "I don't hide him." "He does not like to go out." "Do you sit at home every night holding hands?" "My goodness, how romantic." "The great love." "It will not last, Sonja." "It's time you start going out again." " I would not mind." " Bring him along." "If he wants to be a couch potato, then let him sit there." "AUTO STORE" " There you are." " Hello." "You didn't drive home, did you?" "You have been drinking." "I met some people who invited me for a drink." "I thought you didn't care, because you don't even leave the house." " You don't even know them." " Don't get mad." " I have not asked who they were." " So you don't care then." "Just don't drive when you've been drinking." "Thank you for your sound advice, but I don't need it." " The food is ready." " I don't want any food." " You don't want food?" " We'll wait a moment, Marta." "Seriously, let's not argue about this." "We have to behave like adults and not misconstrue every other word." "What made you so mad?" " I think you avoid me." " Is that what your friends say?" "I had no idea you would sit at home and read all day." "What is wrong with enjoying a book?" "I am getting a new job and need to update my knowledge." "I did not get married to be put aside for your work." "A man needs to work." "At least I do." "I did not get married to be taken care of." "I am not paid for either." "Are you angry now?" "You're cute when you are mad." "Your eyes glow like fireworks." "I am sorry." "It made a strong impression." "She made the first tear in our hope of a happy life together." " Did such arguments continue?" " Constantly." "They always started because of little details." "Especially after she had been with her friends." "They influenced her." " So it was all her fault?" " No." "None of us were to blame." "We were so different." "We came from different worlds." "Something must have kept you together?" "We agreed on every primitive and basic drive in us." "But background and lifestyle came between us." "Hundreds and thousands of people are to blame." " Did you live solely on her money?" " No." "I got a job in an auto shop, so I took care of my own expenses." "She was so suspicious and jealous." "My work made me late for dinner a few times,   and then all hell broke loose." "I never cheated on her, but she thought I did." "It was some idea she had." "Why didn't you leave her?" "That must have been an easy way out." "Yes, she was the reason." "You see, I loved her." "And in her own way she loved me and was hopelessly dependant on me." "We had good times as well, long periods of time." "If we had it worse than everyone else when things were bad,   then we must have had it better when we were happy." "Will your highness allow me to congratulate you on this day?" " Oh yes, it's New Year's Eve." " But which New Year's Eve?" "Today, 30 years ago, the stork in all its wisdom  brought a healthy boy child to your parents." "Congratulations." "Why congratulate a man for getting older?" "One day closer to death, Toresen said." "Sonja, you shouldn't have!" " Do you like it?" " Oh yes." "It's just too nice for me." "Don't forget to give me some coffee." "Great!" "An egg?" " Lipstick?" " You think." "Push." "You could have said so." " No?" " No." "Sonja, you shouldn't have." "You make me feel bad." "You're like a big baby." " No, see the rain." " I only see sunshine." " I think it comes from you." " My silly poet..." "Can't you see the rain?" "At least ten millimetres compared to the usual 0,0." "Imagine, rain on New Year's Eve." " Are you staying home today?" " I have to go to the shop." "Be home in time for dinner." "It'll be really good." " And tonight we are going out." " Do we have to?" "I don't like those fancy places, we have such a nice time at home." "We must get out on New Year's Eve." "Our first New Year's Eve, I can promise you it will be fun." "But do you think we should let the coffee get cold?" "But he was mistaken, because it turned out to be asthma..." " Who is in there?" " Mrs Dahl and Mrs Lie..." "What's for dinner?" "We didn't get the steak as promised, so she said she would go out to eat." "Really...?" "But Erik, are you sitting here?" "Come in." "Do I have to?" " You know these ladies..." " They are both nice and pleasant." "Look what I found in the kitchen." "The birthday boy, happy birthday." "Let's celebrate." " Come and sit here." " Do you have a monopoly on him?" "Sit down between us." "We just came by to say thank you for everything." "We haven't come to ruin the party." "Don't be silly, have another." "Look at the time!" "I have to go." " We can't leave now." " Don't be silly, get your coat." "Happy New Year!" "That's true, see you at Speilen." "I'll be really mad if you don't reserve a dance for me." "I am heading for the Bristol, but hope to see you soon." "Don't lock yourself in like this." "Yes, I'm coming." " Behaviour:" "C minus." " I can't stand those girls." "Oh, Erik, roses!" "The first flowers you have ever given me." "Isn't it a sign of guilty conscience when a man brings flowers?" "You have not had that before?" "I am just glad and thankful, and I didn't know what else to do." "There is one other way." "You can give me a kiss." " It's too easy." " Maybe I appreciate it." "Kisses do not reduce our debt of gratitude but rather do the opposite." " So we don't need to kiss any more?" " Let's not do anything else." "Did Marta say we're going out for dinner?" "We have to hurry, we haven't made reservations." "This place is packed." " Could you please get us a table?" " Quite impossible right now, madam." "Well, that's just too bad." "Why did you say that?" "He can get us a table if he is persistent." "See for yourself." "He said it was impossible." "Sonja!" "Then I will get a seat, and you can stand here if you want to." " Do you want to sit here?" " I would love to." "It is so full." "Take my chair, I will get another." "Long time no see." "Sonja." "And in the last minute, otherwise I would have had to wait a year." " Who dares wins." " It is great." " Go ahead, sit." " Thank you, but..." "Move over, Sonja, then I'll sit here next to you." "You have not met before." "My husband, Fritjof Hagen, merchant Brink." "Do you want something to drink?" "Take my glass, I will get more." "Waiter!" "Your glass, you said?" " Four Dubonnet, please." " Wonderful." "Can't you stay a little longer?" "Duty calls, the day is long." "Can't Fritjof skip that appointment?" "Impossible, even if we want to." "I didn't expect to see you." " Happy New Year, Sonja." " So sad to see you leave." "Let's meet again before the frost sets in." "Waiter!" "Let me get a menu." "Boring fish, Sonja's husband." " That prime girl." " Luxury, half a million." "Oh my!" "I think I should be more aggressive." "She will probably get bored with this old model and get a new one." "Nice that people get to meet my great husband." "If I could only remember why I married you." " You are behaving like a..." " Like a tramp?" "Don't talk so loud." "You think we should just play a happy couple?" "You're a disgusting coward." "I hope you know that I am not coming to Speilen tonight." " Are you staying at home?" " Yes." " Do you think I will accept this?" " My, you're angry now." " What started this fight?" " A stupid detail as usual." " Did you forget what you called me?" " You're the one who said the word." "You are driving me insane?" "There's no need to threaten me." "I am not afraid of you." "The problem is that you just don't care about me." "No, the only thing I am certain of is that I love you." "I need you, but not for the sake of money." "I just have this one life, and it is not for sale." "But there is one thing to be learned:" "Disagree and still be friends." "I am the unreasonable one." "I am so afraid to lose you." "I can't live without you." "You will not lose me." "You need to get rid of those thoughts." "You seem to be disappointed with yourself." "But you take it out on me." "I can't live with that forever." "Can't you feel we belong together, that only little things divide us?" "Can't you just relax and feel that it is you I love, only you?" "Sure..." "But Erik, you know what?" "I think the problem is that we only have ourselves to think about." "I get so nervous and stressed by it." "I want to have a child with you." "Marit...!" " It's been so long." " Yes." "I was mean to you back then, but I didn't know how..." "I understand it now." "Back then, I didn't understand anything." "There is nothing more to talk about." "I hope you are happy." "Happy." "Well." " I'm having a kid this fall." " Yes, but..." "Good luck, Erik." " Goodbye." " Bye, Marit." "16.57.40..." " Should we wait for Hauge?" " He probably has eaten already." " Shall I bring in the food?" " I'm not hungry." "But you have to eat, especially now that you are eating for two." "Pardon me, but I have been with you since you were little." " I have to look after you." " I don't want food, Marta." "Alright, but I will keep it warm, just in case." "Where have you been?" "Where have you been?" "Answer me!" "My watch is five past five, p.m. Not a.m." "Don't brush this off!" "Don't you remember what we agreed?" "Tell me who you have been with!" "I will tell you." "You were with Mrs Krossvik." "I saw you in the car outside the Grand." "She has slept with half the men in town." "I just drove her home after I had dropped off her husband." "I sold them a car." "I don't know much about you ladies,   but she hasn't seduced me, and she never will." "You are lying!" "Just kill me!" "You can't make me do that." "Yes, Sonja, it's just me." "I want to..." "I was to blame too, I should not have been so callous." "She didn't know what she said in anger,   and she did not remember it later." "I had to learn to understand that." "I wanted to take her in my arms and forget all that had happened." "Did the tenants' office show you this phone booth?" "Let me in." "I don't want to see you here." "Go, I'll call the police." " Keep it down." " Mind your own business." "How rude!" "Sonja!" " This can't be true." " How will this end?" " I always said their marriage..." " Quiet!" "What do you think he is doing now?" "I am trembling." " What is going on here?" " I am trying to enter my home." " I don't want him here." " Let us come in." "What a scandal!" " Is this your husband?" " Yes, unfortunately." "But please take him with you." "Is he a danger to you?" " Have you been drinking?" " A beer and a drink at dinner." "He doesn't have to be drunk." "Yesterday he tried to strangle me  and threatened me on my life." "Bring him in and lock him up." "It is not that simple." "Do you want him charged and punished?" "Why do you think I called you?" "I will call your superior." "Are you guilty of these charges?" "Did you try to strangle your wife?" "No." "We argued, and I said some things that I regret." "But there is no reason to involve the police." " Do you maintain the charge?" " Yes, you bet I do." "Then you both have to come in and file a report." "Am I supposed to come too?" "You saw that he tried to break in." "Do you want me at the station as well?" "We are no nannies, and we have our own rules to follow." "Either you come with us, or the police can't help you." "Can we do this tomorrow?" "I'll stay at the hotel tonight." "Do you agree that he can stay at a hotel?" " Can he stay at a hotel?" " I don't give a damn." "Good morning." " How did you know I was here?" " I called around." "There are not that many hotels." " Are you there?" " Yes." " I want to eat breakfast with you." " I am eating in the cafeteria." " Can you forgive me?" " Yes, I guess I can." "We must find a way to co-exist so we can avoid things like this." "When you're not at home, I always wonder where you are." "Then I get a feeling that you prefer to be without me." " Then I get evil inside." " You have to learn to control it." "Yes, I will try." "But don't get sick of me when I carry this child." "I know I am difficult sometimes, but I promise to get better." "Can you forgive me?" " Have you seen Sonja?" " No, not in a long time." "I am going to see her tomorrow." "She called and asked me to come." "Oh my, I'll come with you!" "Maybe I can meet the husband." "You probably won't." "He's gone on a business trip." " He can't stand me." " Not me either." "He's so strange, on a different wavelength." " But there is something about him." " I think he can be good and brutal." "That was such a mess with the police and everything." "Yes, Sonja doesn't say much." "I think they are going through some tough times." "They can't expect their marriage to last forever." "But what is Sonja thinking, getting a baby?" "It's not too late to fix it, you know." " I'll be home in time for dinner." " Erik" "Sonja?" "Are you in?" "As you can see." "Where else would I be." " Are you sick?" " Where have you been?" "Oh, you're in that mood again." "We agreed that I'd go away for a few days." "I am happy you were gone that long." "Then I have been able to think." "I know this:" "You don't care about me." "I have accepted the consequence." "I don't care about you either." "You have been with the girls again." "I am starting to get sick of it." "You should be careful with your nice blanket." "Erik!" "Erik, come here!" "I want to talk to you." "Don't you hear?" "I want to talk to you!" "Why do you treat me this way?" "How much do I have to put up with?" "You are not going to be a dad any more." "I removed it." "No, no." "Help, help!" "He is killing me!" "We have enough scandals." "I have been waiting for you." "So, did you kill your wife?" "Yes, I guess I have." " Can I go and wash off some of this?" " Go ahead." " She is dead." "Probably strangled." " But the blood?" "It is from him." "I'll call the office." "This is what I always feared." "WIFE CRUELLY MURDERED" "Do you plead guilty?" "I would never have thought that I could kill a human being." "I know I have done it, But I feel that she, the victim, participated in it." "This would not have happened had we not met." "I would not be a killer." "Answer the question directly." "Do you plead guilty?" "I have done what I am charged with." "But I don't think I deserve the punishment." "WIFE KILLER PLEADS NOT GUILTY" "Do you regret what you have done?" " Do you regret killing your wife?" " I do wish it undone." "But I think it was inevitable, I had no control over it." "That answer will cost you at least a year." "5 YEARS FOR THE WIFE KILLER" "I have often asked myself:" "Would you have avoided her, if you knew what would happen?" "I don't know." "But the strange thing is that I can sit here and long for her  and wish there was a Heaven or Hell where we could meet again." "Ripped by Tx2"
