Miss Julie Page #7

---

Not everyone

deserves it.

To whom

does He give it?

Only God

knows that.

It is a work of grace,

Miss Julie.

And God is no respecter

of status,

except the last

shall be first.

So He helps

the last then?

And it is easier

for a camel to pass

through the eye

of a needle

than for a rich man

to enter

the Kingdom of Heaven.

So you see, Miss Julie,

it's just the way it is.

Well...

I am going

alone.

And as I pass

by the stableman,

I shall tell him

not to let out

the horses

if someone should like

to get away

before the baron

comes home.

Goodbye.

(door opens

and closes)

What would you do

in my place?

In your place?

Let me see.

Well, as a lady,

as a woman,

after that kind

of mistake,

as one

who has fallen...

I don't know.

Yes.

I do know.

With this?

Yes.

But I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't.

Do you understand?

There is

a difference

between us.

It's the same difference

as between a man

and a woman.

This about

a rich person

not getting

to heaven--

it's a lie,

isn't it?

(bell dings)

The baron is back.

Kathleen.

What if Kathleen--?

He's seen his desk.

Yes, it is John,

Your Lordship.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Right away.

In half an hour,

your lordship.

Yes, yes.

In half an hour.

(tower bells ringing)

He called

for his boots.

Wants his coffee

in half an hour.

Julie:

Half an hour.

I'm exhausted.

I don't know

what to do.

To run, to stay,

live or die.

You know

what I want to do,

but I don't know

how to do it.

Make me.

Order me.

I'll obey you

like a dog.

I can't.

I don't know why.

I-- I--

it's as if

just wearing this jacket,

I cannot order you.

I-- I-- I heard

the baron's voice.

Now,

I can't explain it,

but--

Oh, God, it's that--

it's that damn servant boy

sitting on my back.

I-- I-- I do

what I'm told.

I-- if he-- the baron

came down here now

and told me

to cut my throat,

I'd do it

on the spot.

Then pretend

that you are him.

And pretend

that I am you.

Did you ever

see a magician

at the theatre?

The magician says,

"You do everything

I tell you,"

and she does

what she is told.

He says,

"Take the broom,"

and she takes it.

He says, "Sweep,"

and she sweeps.

I see silver

and gold...

and all the stars.

Just like when I went

to sleep as a child.

I'm floating

out of the window

and up to the sky.

Such freedom,

surrounded by

sparkling crystal.

And the dark

is no longer dark.

The whole room

is warm and safe

like an open fire.

It's you.

And I am close

to the fire.

How nice and warm

it is.

And it is so quiet

and so light.

Here is the broom.

Go to the barn.

Use it.

Go now,

while it's light.

Use the tunnel,

so you don't meet

your father.

Thank you.

Tell me

that the first

can also receive

the gift of grace.

Say it even if you don't

believe it.

The first?

No, I can't do that.

But wait.

Miss Julie, I know.

You no longer belong

among the first.

Oh, you're among

the last.

I am

one of the last.

Oh.

And the first

shall be the last.

Don't speak.

Don't think.

Don't think.

Go, Miss Julie.

No other way.

Go.

Wait.

(door closes)

(birds chirping)

(Julie's voice)

I'm sending you out

into the world.

Look.

You're like

bright-colored stars.

The water

is your heaven.

Do you know that,

my flowers?

Yes.

Everything is

so much bigger

than the little

pieces.

Do you know that?
