She needs to see that you can be what

you will. Or at least try .

- I like your style.

- Thank you .

Hey, little Monica.

What you said ...

... about singing in Swedish ...

I have thought about it.

See this book.

It is Beppe Wolgers poems.

He writes as if it is jazz.

If you like it, then talk to Beppe

at Nalen whe he is there one evening.

Fine. Thank you.

- See you tomorrow .

- Yes .

- What's with you and Sture?

- Are you nuts?

He's not my type.

He is a typical musician.

They might be good enough. However, they are

not the ones that make your heart beat faster.

- It takes more. For us .

- Yes , it does.

There you can see Dompan .

You could sing jazz in Swedish.

The guy who wrote the text , is standing there -

Beppe Wolgers .

You are happy when you walk

flanked by Sweden's most beautiful ladies.

- Beppe, my friend ! Here we come .

- Welcome!

Hey.

- My wife Kerstin.

- Nice to finally meet you.

I have to go to the kids.

- Can you write more stuff for me?

- With pleasure.

I'm at the cabaret this fall at

Hamburger Brs. Are you coming ?

Theatre is just not for me.

- When Beppe Wolgers asks, you say "yes".

- Say "yes" to life.

- Of course .

- Great! Let me introduce you to the people .

Monica Zetterlund .

Povel, it's Monica Zetterlund .

Monica. A pleasure .

Have you said hello to Monica Zetterlund ?

- Monica.

- Lena Nyman.

Hasse and Tage . Monica Zetterlund ,

the wonderful Monica Zetterlund.

Good to see hello to

the blonde negro from Vrmland forests.

- What a nice compliment.

- You sing great.

Who is it that is staring over there?

- Vilgot Sjman , the director, you know.

- Is it Vilgot Sjman ?

- Do you know him ?

- Not directly. He's making a new film .

It's called "I'm curious"

and it is about sex - I've heard.

What a type.

I'll take care of him.

-Hello, Vilgot Sjman. -Hey, Monica Zetterlund.

You stand there looking curious!

Cheers .

- Beppe want me in his cabaret.

- It is a good idea.

You have the talent . When you sing jazz,

you are cool and sophisticated -

- But privately, you're a completely different woman.

I mean it.

You're funny , popular and sexy .

Utilize both:
the ice princess from New York-

- And the brat from Hagfors that

I have just met.

So you will become a big star .

Would you like more than just talk?

Then you would have to take me away from here .

Here's the thing. Wagner.

Good, isn't it?

Wagner thought of you when he wrote it.

That is how it is

to be with you - like a storm.

I have Wagner's complete works .

Don't you want to listen to them ?

- Did I say that I have a daughter?

- No, but it isn't a problem.

I love children.

Yes, but then ...

Then I move in.

- Really?!

- Yes, really!

He is already here .

- Hey, Vilgot. is everything fine ?

- Yes, yes of course.

Thank you, Sture .

Say hello to your parents and say that

I will meet them soon.

I will.

- Are you happy now?

- Yes, I have been so lucky.

What kind is a man that might

take care of other people's children?

Vilgot is not your type.

He's a bit boring.

Boring and intellectual.

- Boring?! Have you seen him directing Wagner?

- No.

Stop. just stop here, a little further,

just before the sign.

- Can't you get her?

- Are you serious?

I'm not setting a foot in Hagfors again.

I have already told you loud and clear.

I'll wait here and smoke a cigarette.

Damn ...

No ...

- Could't you pick her up yourself ?

- I've tried. He didn't want to.

He's crazy .

Come on, baby!

Goodbye, Grandpa .

Come on, baby!

- All of her friends are here in Hagfors, you know this, right?

- She'll find new ones in Stockholm.

- Don't you greet your parents when you come home?

- I'm not setting a foot in Hagfors again.

Yes, I've heard it. Mother is waiting.

She has cooked and put on clean bed linen.

so that you could spend one night with us,

your old parents.

Did you come by car just to say this?

Are you taking care of her from now on?

Or is it as usual ?

- This was the most stupid thing I have heard.

- Singing in Hagfors is one thing.

But Stockholm is it something else entirely.

You're probably home soon .

Get in.

Get in.

Stop! Can we stop?

Why not start a little simpler ?

It is so straight and hard .

Can't we try to start with the bass?

Singing and bass starts ,

then the others come in later.

The bassist in the beginning is so fine. we

start with that and everything else will follow.

- We're trying.

- It can not be combined with this.

- Can we go for a key down?

- Yes . G?

Yes.

So you start them, yes?

Yes. It 's much more fun .

What do you say, Sture ?

Yes ... that 's it.

- What do you mean?

- It's probably better that way.

- Should I rewrite everything?

- Great !

- So I'll rewrite it . until tomorrow?

- Yes, great. It will be a success.

You should come. It's a big premiere.

It would be great

if father also came.

He can't still be so mad.

Say that all Stockholm celebrities are coming.

He said that? Good.

- No, you don't have to think about it, I'll fix it .

- Grandpa is coming for sure.

I will arrange a hotel. Yes , hotel .

Both grandparents are coming.

PREMIERE TONIGH I should have said no to this.

It's not for me .

Yes, it is exactly right for you.

Now I'm also nervous. Sit down.

It's a completely different crowd.

I'll open another one.

Father is also coming today.

- What is it, Monica?

- Dad is not here.

Don't let him spoil this evening for you.

I will sing

a small jazz melody in Swedish.

" Hamburger Brs - A success!

Monica Zetterlund performed in Stockholm -

- And received a standing ovation.

The show is a total success ."

" ' Sakta vi go genome stan ' is poetry.

and Zetterlund do it justice ."

You should make a record only

in Swedish with lyrics by Beppe Wolgers.

- That sounds good.

- I have prepared a draft for a contract.

- I would like to have more money.

- Why don't you write your own proposal.

- Welcome to Philips.

- Thank you.

CAREER ROLLS:

ANOTHER SUCCESS:

"It's brilliant to let Zetterlund

sing in Swedish."

"The song has a new energy and intimacy."

"She sings a Stockholm Promenade,

which is like a light stroking on the cheek ."

"Now we know

that jazz can be sung in Swedish."

Perfect .

Isn't it crazy

to buy a large house -

- When I have an apartment

where we are living nicely?

It is for me and Eva- Lena's sake.

I would not be dependent on a man.

We'll take it.

Good. Once the payment is in,

we'll make an installment payment plan for the rest .

The payout is pretty considerable.

Why are you talking to him?

I'm the one who is paying - in cash.

- Just send the papers.

- Of course . Thank you.

- Are you coming, Vilgot ?

- Nice to meet you .

walk straight ahead.

Trust me. Here.

Are you ready? Now you can see.

It's a castle.

- Here is the living room.

- Everything is big here!

The ceilings are high here, so that you

can breathe. What 's this? Candy .

Here we can dance and play.

The dining room.
