Alla alskar Alice Page #5

---

-I want to be alone.

-Go out on the veranda then.

If Patrik lies here

then Alice must respect that.

They must both respect that

this is our bedroom. Period.

-If you can't agree, then go out.

-Shall Alice be allowed to throw Patrik out?

-Be sensible regarding the sitation.

-We are five who feel different.

-I give a damn about this bed.

-Me too!

-Well, I'll be damned...

-Yes, damn it!

Can you be so kind and stop that!

What?

Creak, creak, creak...

No.

Time to eat! Come!

-He thinks he desides over me.

-She thinks she decides over me.

-Only my dad decides over me.

-But you don't have any.

Are you stupid or what...?

He is a woodcutter in Canada.

He cuts so big trees

that you can't find here. Look!

Oh...

They think they can decide over us,

as we were little children.

But we are actually 12 years old.

Do you want them to be together?

No.

-What do you want then?

-Everything to be as before.

What do you want?

I also want everything to be as before.

Are you deaf? Come now, I said!

-Incredibly delicious pancakes!

-Thank you.

-Aren't they, Alice?

-Mmm...

-What? I didn't hear.

-Enormously delicious!

Enormous!

What the hell are you doing?

She becomes sorry.

She has been cooking this for you.

Aren't the pancakes to your taste?

What's wrong?

What? Are you behaving like this at home?

-Alice, are you doing this to your mother?

-No, but she isn't my mother.

Now, damn it...

Don't you believe...

-Don't believe, damn it...

-What are you saying? I don't get it.

Not me either.

(MUSIC AND SINGING)

(THE MUSIC CEASES)

You just can't go away like this.

Then you give up, then the children win.

Do you mean that we must conquer them?

Our own children?

As a damn boxing match?

I'm just saying that we must give them more time.

You said it yourself.

-Time and patience.

-If someone has patience, then it's me.

But how much sh*t do I have to take

from your daughter?

-Only Alice who is the problem?

-No, Patrik also.

But Alice is so loaded with bullshit

from your damn ex wife. I get no chance.

Can't you see how she studies

every move you do?

-You are a little sensitive now, aren't you?

-You are blind, Johan. She hates me.

-Then I'll say the same about Patrik.

-Not a single bad word about my son!

-You spit out sh*t about my daughter.

-Damn you!

-Damn yourself and your discontent.

-Go home to your wife. You are still married.

Then you can relax! Without any problems at all!

Go home to her!

Run out to the woods then, damn it!

As all the others! Out!

(THE FRONT DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS)

-Are you sitting here by yourself?

-I cannot go on any longer.

-Go on what?

-Pancake.

But you don't have to eat

any more pancakes.

-I'm tired, I want to rest.

-Go ahead then.

Damn!

Sh*t!

Sleep well! He is watching you.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Sleep well.

Shall we do something funny tomorrow?

Perhaps we should talk, you and me.

Sleep well now.

-Can't you sleep here with me?

-No, I'll sleep in there.

-Please...

-No.

You will sleep like a log.

I know that.

Alice, sorry I flared up before today.

I'm just like that.

If I become angry, then I become angry.

But lots of goodies also.

If I become glad, then I become glad also.

I just want to say that I think

you are such a nice girl.

I will tell you a secret.

Something not even Johan knows about yet.

Before I got Patrik, I expected

another child, a girl.

The first time I felt her

kicking inside my stomach-

-then I knew immediately

that this was a little Alice.

I don't know why, i just knew.

'Her name will be Alice.'

But when I was going to give birth

then there was something wrong, so... she died.

I still don't know what was the cause.

Then I meet a wonderful man and

she has a girl called Alice!

Isn't it strange?

That woodcutter...

Was he her father also?

Oh, Patrik...

Does he lie?

Never.

It's just that...

What is the truth for Patrik perhaps

not always is the truth for others.

His father and I had a rock band

called Wood Machine.

We had strange names back then.

But his father didn't want to admit

that Patrik is his son.

He doesn't even want to talk to him.

Patrik dreams about him all the time.

Good night then, Alice.

Sleep well.

See you tomorrow.

ANNA:
Ouch!

My God, how will this end?

(GROANINGS)

Pontus...

There is a ghost in there.

-I'm afraid, I want to sleep with daddy.

-Come, I'll go with you.

-Is the ghost here?

-Maybe. We must be quiet.

ANNA:
God!

-What are they doing?

-They are dreaming.

Go in and tell.

Daddy, there is giant ghost in there

with giant claws and giant teeth!

-What?

-A ghost...

-A ghost?

-Yes.

-Why do you think it's a ghost?

-Alice told me. I want to sleep here.

-Here?

-Yes.

-Alice says...

-Hmm...

JOHAN:
Well, we must go in and look for the

little ghost then.

(KNOCKING)

(THUNDER)

Daddy, daddy, daddy!

There is someone out there.

I get it!

Scaring your little brother...

There is someone out there.

It's true. It's scarey.

(KNOCKING)

(KNOCKING)

JOHAN:
Yes, yes...

-Hello, Johan.

-Hello.

-What are you doing here?

-We came to collect the children.

-In an easy manner, for the sake of the children..

-Collect? What are you saying?

-Don't take it personal.

-Are you making fun of me?

-Grandma!

-My dear.

Now everything is okay.

Don't be afraid anymore.

-You must explain...

-Put on your clothes, Alice.

And help Pontus. We wait here.

Now, tell your wife that she must

tell me what the hell is going on.

-Sonya, we can't just...

-Henry, tell them now.

-Johan...

-Yes?

Don't take it personal, but

when your own daughter asks for help...

Lotta was in despair when she

heard Alice's cries for help.

'Cries for help?'

Here is Lottas's phone.

You can hear what Alice is saying.

Johan, perhaps you should ask

grandpa and grandma to walk in.

-No.

-Yes.-Welcome to our cottage.

Hello, my name is Anna Solberg

and I am Johan's wife.

So far, isn't Lotta Johan's wife?

Anna Solberg, Johans wife, that is.

Welcome to the cottage.

I'm Henry.

-That was kind...

-My husband is very polite.

I like that in a man.

In women as well.

Patrik, my son. You were lucky who

managed to avoid the rain.

Yes, perhaps we can offer you

a warming brandy??

-A small one.

-Are you sure?

-Nej, rather a big.

-Yes, I have.

Johan, now you hear yourself

how Alice is with you.

Sorry, dad, sorry.

I didn't mean all that.

I was just so sad and angru.

You don't have to aplogize.

You feel what you feel.

-Where isr Lotta?

-Does it matter?

I want to talk to Lotta.

Do you really have to answer in that way?!

Absurd! You come in the middle of the night

and pull up the kids who are sleeping.

By consideration, if you recognize that word.

Sonya lversen, and you talk about consideration?

You don't know what consideration is, damn it.

-Johan...

-Damn!

-Where is she?

-Down at the bridge.

Here...?

Yes, we came by taxi boat.

They are waiting to tack us back.

Okay then...

Perhaps it's better that
