Monica Z Page #3

Here you can sit.

We 've saved the best for last .

There is one more small room up there.

- Oh... - It's your room.

-But where are you going to sleep

I'll sleep in another room.

You can take a look at it later.

God, it's so nice here!

A drink?

Hi there.

Peter.

And you have everything ?

- Gunilla, my wife.

- Welcome .

- Monica!

- Beppe.

Hey. It's so good to see you.

And it's so nice to see you again.

What a great house.

We have a housewarming gift.

A gift?

It isn't necessary.

What do we have here?

ALL OF SWEDEN'S MONICA

BUT MOSTLY MINE / Beppe

What a hideous picture of me!

- You're so beautiful.

- Thank you. It will have the place of honour.

- Hello.

- Is this the new girl ?

Welcome.

Shall I take your coat?

- What will you drink?

- A whiskey maybe.

Knock, knock.

- Are you hiding here all night?

- I don't know .

- Come and say hello to my friends.

- Later. I have first to finish.

- It's not so easy with this noise.

- Can't you have a break?

Later,

I must finish this.

Would you please take 5 min. to say hello to my friends?

or should I be ashamed of you?

- No, I'm coming later.

- You're such a hypocrite .

Is this for me? Thank you.

-Oh, hey! -hey!

-You look so fine.

Can I help ?

We raise the party level. It will be

nice to be Miss Zetterlund .

What do you think, Monica?

Hello, friends!

May I introduce the wonderful -

- Adventurous,

absolutely adorable Monica Zetterlund.

And here we have the sexy -

- Truly talented

actress Marika Nilsson.

Hello, Marika.

Monica.

Monica is with Vilgot Sjman .

My girlfriend Lina .

-Hey. -Good evening.

I just hope that Monica does not hear this.

You know how she is. Look at her .

Everyone has to love her.

She is so self-absorbed.

She gets offended when someone

she likes has a girlfriend.

She cannot. She has Vilgot.

Cheers.

-I heard both of your gigs in Stockholm.

they sounded great, both of them. -Thank you!

- Are you listening much to Fitzgerald ?

- Yes . I have always admired her.

- Good morning.

- Good morning. Isn't she cute ?

Yes, she's lovely.

Good morning honey. Did you sleep well?

Sit a little with me.

Are you tired?

It's the best time of the day

when we are here together in the kitchen.

I made it again too thick.

Isn't it suicidal to sing

a jazz song at the Eurovision Song Contest?

No.

- I'm not a Eurovision singer.

- It's just once. You have to understand me as well,

It is enormously difficult to sell

jazz records as things are today.

Now is your chance

to break through internationally .

A little free advertising on television will not hurt.

It is something that you really need.

A chance to reach a large audience, with Jazz,

you shouldn't miss a chance like that.

I would do it ,

but it is up to you, Monica.

Hurrah, hurray , hurray , hurray !

Blow.

Beautiful!

They want me to sing at

the Eurovision song contest .

But I do not know if I should say yes.

What do you think, Dad?

- Yes, but it's so much fun.

- How it's going? how it feels?

-Good!

-It feels good?

It's great to be able to represent

Sweden in such a big competition.

Eurovision 1963

Good evening, this is David Jenkins speaking

from the BBC television centre in London.

Viewers in the UK

will recognise this building ...

... but it will be less familiar for

the 75 million viewers from the 17...

Exciting, isn't it?

... that are watching Eurovision Song Contest

grand prix of 1963.

On behalf of the BBC, welcome to the

eighth annual Eurovision song contest .

There's a telephone again. Hello?

So that is the final result?

Zero points for Monica Zetterlund -

one of the greatest failures.

It is just before ,

one is ashamed of being Swedish.

"Viewers' verdict: Monica

should apologize to the Swedish people"

- It's just to take the bull by the horns.

- I cannot bear to meet any journalists.

I'll stay here a bit.

I can stay. I'll stay with you.

Go and see if you can get them off.

Beppe, where's Monica?

She is in London for few days.

Have you never felt that

you just can lose it all again?

No.

I'm always afraid they remember -

- that I don't deserve this.

As if it is just an air castle.

A scam.

Now Dad wil say:
"What did I tell you? "

- Hold your head high. You were good.

- Do you think so? -You were damn good .

I could sit here all day ...

... But I have to go.

Bye.

Bye.

- Do you come at eight o'clock? - Of course!

- Would you bring Lina as well?

Good. See you then.

- Does anyone else want?

- No thanks .

- Vilgot? Should I pour one gor you

- No, It's ok, thanks.

God it's quiet here.

You could go down in the cellar and get few bottles of wine.

Why are you never satisfied ?

Do you know what time it is?

- It's called ambition.

- You didn't get it. I mean this in the glass!

You shouldn't talk about that.

Should we celebrate being last,

and being laughed at?.

Do you remember when you were little and you

and your friends climbed the birch tree?

You always wanted to climb

all the way to the top! Every time!

Then you fell down and nearly died!

While your ... Look at me!

While your friends just climbed up

to the first branch, then they climbed down.

- Because it was dangerous up there!

But you, would always go up!

I can't understand that you don't

listen to what they say to you.

I'm going home now.

Bye Eva-Lena.

- Bye my friend.

- Bye Mom.

A failure.

Zero points. Why was it so bad?

You have to take it for what it is.

A singing competition.

It 's crazy to compete for music.

It's a pity. I think it's such

a great song, with fantastic lyrics.

So, now there will be a party.

Beppe ... Sofia said the kids are not able to fall asleep,

so I 'd better go home.

- Let them be awake and have fun.

- No, otherwise I feel like a bad mother.

What do you mean? So I am now a bad mother

because I let Eva-Lena stay up?

No, I just meant that "I" feel like a bad mother .

I'm careless with time and homework,

but I'm as good a mother as you.

- But it's not what I meant!

- Eva-Lena ! Am I not a good mother? - Yes.

I was only talking about myself.

- Get out of here .

- But I haven't done anything .

Say it straight instead of

always coming up with allusions.

-You don't come to my house to say such things.

-But It's not about you, it's about me! -Get out!

Kerstin!

Julia!

You could put Eva-Lena to bed?

Come on, toots. You've got to go to school tomorrow,

so you should sleep properly .

Good night sweetie.

Shall we dance? take a swing.

Aren't you going to ask me? Come on.

You sit so low.

I lift you up a little.

Come and dance with me.

No, I'm talking to Arne about film.

I'm in the middle of a conversation.

I do not want to dance.

You're boring!

Hey. Where is Lina?

She went. She is going to Malm

for a recording session tomorrow.

-You've found yourself a nice girl. -You think so?

- A bit young maybe, but sweet and kind.

- Why did you kiss me?

- I do not know!

Just because you wanted to?

Well, you're still here, Sture.
