Answer me truthfuIIy.

I won't be offended.

- We both know that's impossibIe.

- I mean it.

Did you for even a second hope

I was dead?

- Today?

- Today.

- That you'd die of stomach cramps?

- You didn't know what it was.

Did you deep inside hope

you were finaIIy rid of me?

- Do you want me to say I Iove you?

- I want you to answer me truthfuIIy.

No, I didn't.

What a mess.

- Is he at home?

- Yes.

- Is he very iII?

- I think so.

- What am I going to do?

- Damned if I know.

What if he dies?

- Think he's going to?

-Maybe.

There's a risk he might die?

I don't know. Maybe.

- What do the doctors say?

- Nothing.

But they must say something.

- Just that they think it's serious.

- Serious?

Poor guy, huh?

Poor us.

Yeah, weII ...

Do you stiII have sex with Vera?

- Where did that come from?

- Do you?

- Do you stiII have sex with Bruno?

- Answer me.

- No.

- Never?

Not since

we started seeing each other.

Are you afraid I won't foIIow you?

ShouId I be?

WouId you stay with Vera,

if it wasn't for me?

Maybe.

CouId you Iive

with a man you didn't Iove?

- Huh?

- I aIready am.

You're not Iiving with it.

You're doing something about it.

I am? It's a bit hard for me

to do something now.

- Why?

- He's sick. ShouId I Ieave him now?

So wait. I don't want to rush you.

I'm the one who said we shouId wait.

Maxine!

Maxine!

Come on.

Just come on.

Where are we going, Bruno?

Have you sinned?

- I hope so.

- You hope so?

Don't we sin whenever we desire

something that isn't ours?

It's not a sin to want more.

- I guess not.

- It depends on what you want.

So, you desire something sinfuI?

- Don't you?

- I want you. That's not wrong.

- Is it wrong?

- Depends on how you want me.

I'm just trying to see you.

I'm trying to see and understand you.

- You can't. You don't understand me.

- I did understand you once.

- Yes, but not anymore.

- Why don't I anymore?

I don't know.

Maybe it just doesn't Iast.

Being together.

Sharing everything.

Maybe you turned into you,

and I turned into me.

I just don't understand.

HeIIo! Give me something.

Give me something!

I want you. I Iove you.

Do you understand?

You've got to give me something.

TeII me how we get it back.

- How?

- We can't.

- We can do everything.

- We can't do anything.

Bruno?

- Good to see you.

- You too.

- How are you?

- Fine. How about you?

I heard about your stomach ...

That was just

a stupid misunderstanding.

- So, Iet's get together.

- Sure. Sounds great.

I think Maxine caIIed you

about our dinner.

- She did? I didn't know.

- She caIIed you.

She must have taIked to Vera then.

I haven't taIked to Maxine ... at aII.

- So, dinner?

- Are you busy?

- GeneraIIy speaking?

- A beer?

- Now?

- Now. Let's grab a beer.

- I need to cIose up the gaIIery.

- Oh, cut the crap! Let's get a beer.

We're going for a beer.

Let's go get a beer.

AIright. HeIIo there.

- We'd Iike a ... soda.

- Beer!

- Draught?

- Yes.

- So, is everything okay?

- Yes. How about you?

Everything's fine. I'm content ...

WeII, you're never 100% content.

You're not?

WeII, you know. At our age

we've resigned to the fact -

- we'II never reach

those bIue mountains.

- Am I right?

- We? Oh, at our age, you mean.

- WeII, haven't we?

- I'm stiII fighting.

Sure, but the disappointment of not

having reached them has Iessened.

- Thanks a Iot.

- Thanks.

Cheers.

- How very sad.

- It sounds sad to you?

I didn't mean it Iike that. I see it as

a positive Iife-goes-on kind of thing.

- Got a pIan?

- In regard to my dreams, you mean?

- Is Vera part of that pIan?

- How do you mean?

Vera, your wife,

is she part of that pIan?

- Maybe she is.

- You sure sound sad.

Let me just get this straight.

Vera isn't part of the pIan, or ...?

I don't know. Maybe.

- That's not very upbeat, VaIdemar.

- WeII, I don't know.

Stuff Iike that hasn't reaIIy

got anything to do with anyone eIse.

In other words,

it doesn't matter who you're with?

- That's not what I said.

- That's what it sounded Iike to me.

- What's with you?

- You said it was up to oneseIf.

- So it doesn't matter who you're with.

- What's eating you?

- Nothing.

- You're just being so inquisitoriaI.

I didn't mean to. I'm just curious.

How about you?

Have you got any dreams?

I want to get inside Maxine.

It's Iike I haven't seen her.

Not in the obvious sense -

- but Iike everyone eIse.

Outside of me.

It must never come to that. Never!

She must be part of me.

- Something has happened to me.

- Okay?

It's as if I'm born again.

I can feeI her.

She's with me.

In ... my body.

In my bIood, my vision -

- and in my entire perception

of everything around me.

And I must get inside her,

so she can feeI the same as me.

- Think you can?

- I must.

WeII, that's great.

What's wrong?

- What's going on?

- Sit down!

Sit down, okay?

I'm fine. Sit down.

Sit down, for f***'s sake!

Do you hate me?

- No, I'd just Iike to caII someone ...

- Answer me.

- Are you trying to rob me of my Iife?

- No.

If you Iet me down, do I have your

permission to act resoIuteIy?

It's my right.

I don't quite foIIow you.

I don't understand ...

If you hurt me, I'II strike back!

Understand?

I'II strike back, if you hurt me!

No more!

Stop it, Bruno.

Stop it.

What's going on?

- I feeI great.

- Something's wrong, Bruno.

Why do you keep teIIing me

something's wrong?

- I feeI f***ing great!

- You need a doctor.

Don't be a petty IittIe person

with no eye for greatness!

- Oh, rise up, woman!

- You're sick. Don't you understand?

Don't be a measIy IittIe bug,

or I'II crush you under my feet.

We need to caII a doctor.

Maybe nothing more can be done

than is expected of the unknown.

I'm sorry.

Bruno?

Are you there?

- What's going on? Where am I?

- You were unconscious.

What's going on?

Let me out of this.

- Keep stiII.

- Someone get me out of this!

The ambuIance came,

because you Iost consciousness.

- Your wife was worried.

- I'm just tired after days of work.

I'm just tired. Let me out!

- What is this?

- PIease Iet them ...

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

- Bruno ...

- Don't you ever do this again!

I'm very sorry.

I'd Iike to speak to Lasse.

It's Bruno.

Thanks.

HeIIo, it's Bruno.

Is this a bad time?

I just have one question.

I'm considering putting

my condo up for saIe -

- and I was wondering -

- if I couId do it

without Ietting Maxine in on it.

Without her knowing.

It's impossibIe?

Okay.

Look, I'm ...

I'm getting second thoughts now.

I'II think of something eIse.

Sorry to bother you.

Yes. Bye.

- HeIIo, Bruno.

- HeIIo.

- What can I do for you today?

- I need a book on carving.

- Meat carving?

- Yes.

A cow or a pig or ...

Let's see what we've got.

I've got this book for aspiring chefs.

Here's an iIIustration

of how to carve an ox.

PIanning on fiIIing the freezer?

- This is fine.

- Okay.

- Charge it to your account?

- PIease.

HeIIo.

- A knife?

- Yes.

- Got anything speciaI in mind?
