Here's Your Life Page #3

---

I sometimes believed in violence.

Now I see everything differently.

Your mind has to be clear.

Now I don't smoke or drink.

I've passed that stage.

I just use coffee and women.

All the women I've met...

-What about them?

-I haven't left any untouched.

I've had a few, both in Norway

and here. Some fine ladies.

I don't go to whores,

but have a steady girl in every town.

Regularly, in an orderly fashion.

For the body's sake.

But I avoid getting anyone pregnant.

One takes one's responsibility.

Miss! Can I pay?

The modern problem

is a problem of communication.

After the revolution, there

won't be any problems like that.

Oh, Maria!

In America, they pull a Browning

and shoot them down at once.

And in Latin America, they throw

a knife through the throat.

-I saw on a boat...

-Shut up!

Maria is no good.

Everyone's been with her.

Everyone's sick of her.

I could have had her.

If you've only said something.

I'm going for a coffee or a swim.

You have to have some pleasure.

Have you read about

Danko's burning heart?

-No.

-Me neither, but I've heard about it.

It's by Gorky, or someone.

It's supposed to be good.

Someone who uses his heart

as a light for humanity.

It must be sticky

to hold it in your hand!

Hey! About Danko's burning heart.

It's symbolic.

Danko wants to sacrifice himself

for mankind,

and shine a light

onto the right path.

A bit like Prometheus who

wanted to get the fire and the truth.

No, he rolled a rock.

That was Sisyphus.

It's symbolic, that thing with Danko.

But it came from his drinking.

If a man tears his symbolic heart

from his symbolic breast,

and holds it up like a torch,

then he's drunk.

You can bet that

it comes from drinking.

Even if it's wine.

Everyone who has read and thought

that struggle, organisations, the

economic and historical development

give things their context.

-Your mind has to be clear.

-I'd love a swim.

If only Maria was here now.

You're growing.

You're getting good food?

Be careful with your clothes.

-Are you staying on there?

-We'll see.

Don't travel too far

if you're leaving.

And look out for scoundrels.

And watch out for alcohol.

You haven't tried, have you?

No.

And diseases. There are so many

you can catch when you're outdoors.

It's good that you

don't have to wear yourself out.

Theatres and cinemas

maybe won't last, though.

You should get a job

at the railways.

Come in and shut the door.

It's bloody dark in here!

Leave that. I'm ill.

-Is it the chest?

-No.

It was a woman.

I should have guessed.

She wanted to borrow 10 kronor.

When I didn't have that,

she wanted five kronor.

She got everything I had.

Then she gave it to me.

It was more than three kronor.

3.25, I think.

It lasted a long time for that price.

-Have you been to the doctor?

-No.

I just checked with some people

who'd had the same thing.

Then I got a syringe

with the stuff that's needed.

You don't want to go to the doctor

to get told off.

The first time,

and it ends up like this.

What do you think about this?

I think you have to go to the doctor.

-I can go, if you want.

-Hell no.

Good evening.

Not in here!

Good evening. Welcome.

Very nice.

Do you like you new job?

Imagine what they can do!

Here we go...

He should have a rifle.

-Who's that?

-He's called Vsters-Lasse.

Vsters-Lasse? Tell him to be quiet.

I don't want to sell sweets anymore.

You can check tickets.

Forsson is leaving.

Go and brush your clothes.

Yes... Now you're going to be

a proper projectionist.

You're going to tour

with director Larsson.

-Just say Larsson.

-Director Larsson.

Just say Larsson.

OK.

He's 16.

-Can you drive?

-Yes...Larsson, I can.

He's bright and active.

You're going on a tour.

It's a Path projector. Hand-driven.

With a calcium light lamp.

This will be tasty.

You don't get any schnapps here.

But I've been travelling before,

and know how to solve that.

You can say "du" to me.

That makes it more friendly.

Let's not use any formalities.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Right. Let's eat.

The nature is beautiful here.

I wonder if anyone will come.

I usually bring brandy.

Let's go and see the river,

and then the lodgings.

The company pays for everything.

Would you like a cigar?

The life of an artist is exciting.

But it's not always easy.

You get to travel, see new places

and meet new people.

That's really what life is all about.

I've been at the circus.

I was a wrestler and a weightlifter.

I loaded iron ore.

That was a good job.

But the life of an artist

is more fun.

Cinema, that's the future.

Yes, it's both art and industry.

-Have you got any articles?

-Articles?

Yes, rubber articles...

No, I don't have any at the moment...

I don't have more than

what I need myself.

-But maybe some other time.

-Don't you have any cards?

Those nude cards...

No, we don't have those.

You get bored with them.

You get so much of that in real life.

That's more like it!

Try once more!

Show that you have some muscles

this time.

Would you look at that!

Look, there's Nicke!

That's Olivia. Queen Olivia.

You've heard about her?

She's a devil of a woman.

Let's go and have a chat.

She is lethal for men.

She's like a leech.

But I've been man enough to...

And with her, I've...

Howdy! Is it Nicke

that's out walking?

I'm in a car.

We've just had dinner.

-Are you a strongman?

-I've got a cinema.

I see... For some people it goes up,

and a bit down...

Is that your assistant?

Couldn't I borrow him from you?

-A lonely, weak woman.

-You're weak, all right.

Where are your men?

In heaven, or in prison.

-Well...

-Well...

-Will you sell the kid to me?

-That'll cost madam.

Madam?

I was only joking.

I need a man to help me.

-You look grown-up, in every way.

-I've been employed before.

-I'm just following him.

-You're following the wrong person.

Watch it!

When I asked about men

I wondered if you live somewhere,

or in a tent, like a gypsy.

I was just trying to find company...

OK, I won't take you

and what you might have.

Then it's me that'll make a visit...

Boy, check the projector.

We'll start in a minute.

May I humbly ask for silence

and your attention.

We live in difficult times.

We...

We live in difficult times.

We live, so to speak,

in cumbersome and bitter times.

Then the arts can give us

strength and joy.

And...

Culture!

I'm going for a walk.

I'm going to the tourist hotel.

You can go to the lodgings.

Thanks for today.

Yes. The children died.

Two went to America.

There they died.

Now we've got plenty of room.

-Good night, lad.

-Good night.

Yes indeed...

What the hell?

No, no, I'm not like that.

You're a virgin, right?

Olivia, the virgin!

-He can wake up!

-Forget about him.

But what...?

You really are crazy!

Culture!

Culture! Culture!

Culture!

Culture!

Culture...

Yes, I've got kids of my own,

but they can't do it.

The first is too lazy,

the second is too vain,
