SCHOOL WELFARE OFFICER: Can you tell me

how you feel right now?

I use to laugh and have fun but

within me it's completely empty-

-except a black lump which just

grows and grows.

PONTUS:
Don't bite!

Are you angry with each other?

No.

Why do you ask that?

Well...

Now I will interview the foreign minister.

Bye bye.

Bye, dad.

You begin early nowadays.

-Dad!

-Yes?

You can have this at work...

Thanks.

Aren't you glad?

-Of course I am.

-I mean happy!

Sweetheart...

Hey...

Yes?

I thought we could...

Perhaps we could...

What?

Nothing.

-Tell me...

-No, it's nothing.

-Dad, when do you go off today?

-Late. I forgot to tell mom.

-We must go training today.

-Not tonight.

-But the game...?

-What game?

At the festival with the neighbours, tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

We agreed on buying new football shoes today.

-Did you forget that also?

-No, I didn't.

Come to my work place after school, then

we can go, and train tonight also.

Bye bye.

Stop reading now! Here are your clothes.

Pontus, listen!

Here are your... Come on! Pull yourself together now.

Otherwise you'll be late to school.

-I think dad is a bit overstrained.

-Yes, he is always busy.

-Bye bye, Alice!

-Bye bye.

Can you arrange a trip for christmas?

To Turkey? Or the Canary Islands...

We'll see. Don't forget to return

this bag back home. Kiss.

-God, how cute Anton is.

-Look, look, look! Wow!

-Such a little willy he has.

-No, he hasn't.

-Look!

-And what are you doing?

(TALKING IN A LOW VOICE)

Alice, hi.

Take this.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you in school?

We have fun working together.

She is nuts about her camera.

-Why are you here?

-We were going to buy football shoes.

Damn, I forgot.

And we were just going.

Damn!

I will fetch you at home at 5.30.

Go home now, I'll come later.

OK.

OK?

Bye.

SCHOOL WELFARE OFFICER:

Who's fault is it that you feel this way?

Anna's.

-Who is Anna?

-A damn b*tch.

Is she a relative of yours?

No, there is a guy in my class

called Patrik. He is a bit strange.

It's his mom, Anna.

She is a photographer.

She use to work with dad.

-What has she done?

-She has cheated him.

-Cheated him out of money or what?

-No, made him fall in love with her.

LOTTA:

Open your mouth, say something!

Shout! Just don't be so quiet.

I hate silence!

What did he say then?

He just shook his head,

shut up and walked away.

I go crazy. I receive no response.

Perhaps I'm just imagining, do you remember last

midsummer... Anna, the photographer, the neighbour.

-Sometimes I imagine they...

-Have you talked to Johan about it?

Not since midsummer.

I'm afraid of what he might say.

They are working together and yet he becomes

very strange when we meet all three of us.

I guess I have become boring.

What do you think? Have I?

Yes... no.

How about one more child?

Johan has always wanted three.

A little brother or sister

to Pontus and Alice...

-Yippie! We'll have a baby.

-Alice, we were just talking...

I would prefer a little sister

but a little brother is fine too.

-Get both!

-We have to talk to dad.

-You haven't said hello to Tina.

-Hi. Tell me you will live with us. Please.

I'm here to sell a horse and to visit

your grandmom. I will leave tonight.

I will make coffee.

Alice, promise to bring mom and

dad and visit me soon in Norway.

-Promise?

-Yes.

I've got many new horses. I think you

are going to like one of them very much.

Alice...

I saw you were standing there and heard

much more than what mom knows about.

But I know your parents...

They are two very nice people who have

experienced many good things together.

Most of all, they have you and Pontus.

So I think it will turn out just fine.

Take care!

-Say hello from me.

-Promise to visit me soon.

Say hello to the horses!

Yes, and say hello to your dad.

Damn!

Hi, dad!

(KNOCKING)

Santa Claus...

-Good afternoon.

-Hello, Santa Claus.

Let's see...

Hi, dad!

Come!

Here you can take the boat

all the way to Lido.

Alice, there is the Realto bridge.

There...

Hello.

-Hi.

-Sorry I'm late.

I tried to call but the damn

mobile phone discharges itself.

Nice isn't it...?

-Are we celebrating something?

-No.

But what...?

What's this?

Nothing.

What's the matter?

Come on, what's the matter?

Alice, pass the ball!

Alice, pass the ball! Pass the ball!

Can I...?

Dad, pass the ball!

Pass the ball, damn it!

Professional!

What a pro!

-Stop, this is embarrassing.

-But I'm so proud of you.

-What a girl, eh?

-Which one of them?

-Do you want sausage? Mustard or ketchup?

-Yes, both.

-Did you see my goals?

-Yes, you were better than the boys.

-Weren't you?

-Mmm, you're the best.

Go and help dad with the sausages.

-I think she...

-Doesn't everyone believe that here?

My god! The ball!

Johan, very clumsy!

It's perhaps for the best.

We can't go on like this anymore.

-It's not really the right situation...

-It never is.

But I don't want it like this anymore.

I'm so terribly ashamed!

You must choose now.

Today you must choose...tonight...

-No, tonight?

Yes, it's either this or that, no more "both".

Bye.

Patrik!

I don't want to be here anymore.

Do you understand? I'm not taking this anymore.

-Here, dad!

-No, I'm tired.

-Here are dad's...

-There is no room for them.

Dad, dad...

May I?

Of course you may.

Yes, go at it.

And the back too.

It gets in my eyes.

Do you love mom?

We are married... mom and I.

And we love our children.

Can't we have a baby then?

Dad, please...

'Who has been in my bed',

papa Ruff said-

-'when he saw that neither the pillow

or the quilt lied where they used to.'

'Who has been in my bed', mama Muff

said, who found her bed in disorder.

In little Tusse's bed Goldlock slept.

She heard the voices of the bears and

dreamt that Ruff's voice was the thunder.

And mama Muff's voice made her

dream about murmuring brooks.

But suddenly she heard

a high squeaky voice...

-Mom...

-Not now.

I'll sit here a little while.

Go out and close the door.

May I have a piece of cake?

Do you also want? Please...

-What are you doing?

-I thought we could have a cosy evening.

-Cosy evening?

-I said it's alright.

-You said "cosy evening"?

-No, I said she could have a piece of cake.

I don't need any. I thought you also

wanted some. Good night, dear mom.

Good night, dear dad.

How long has this been going on?

Answer me! How long?

Stop!

LOTTA:
Don't run away!

Answer me! Tell me!

(A DOOR CLOSES)

Answer me damn it! I'm asking you

how long this has been going on.

It's not only since midsummer,

but since spring, isn't it?.

So that's why we couldn't

go on vacation this summer-

-because you wanted to be close to her

so that you could f*** her all summer!

How are the children going to find out? Look, dad

fiddles on other women in front of the neighbours!

-If you won't tell, I will!

-We agreed to be careful with the children.

Have you been careful with them

when you've been f***ing that hore?

Pig! You f***ing pig!
