I'm so confused.

Monica ... I just want to say that ...

- Monica!

- Yes, yes.

- Yes?

- What's with you and Sture?

- I saw you kissing in the taxi.

- Isn't Vilgot Sjman jealous?!

No, I feel sorry for Sture.

It's only you who wants to be confirmed.

You are so unsympathetic,

When you are scared and in a killing mood.

Scared?! YOU say this? you, who is not able

to stay 3 minutes without hearing applause?

You are begging for love from everybody.

You daren't show emotions...

you have in fact none!

- What the hell do you know about that?

- Like how you talk to Bergman.

- Yes Bergman. Absolutely Bergman...

- What do you know about my relationship with Bergman?

Not even dogs are so submissive.

You're so pathetic !

It has nothing to do with Bergman. you just want to hurt me,

so you don't have to answer my questions.

You get the prize for the

Best pathetic human being.

- But you might hope for better prizes!

- That I do not want to discuss now.

- Where the hell are you going?

- I've had enough .

I am 40 years old. I need a woman,

not a scared teenager.

So take your damn Wagner with you!

Are you just going to leave?!

Nobody leaves me like this!

Monica ...

- Get me out of here.

- Yes , wait.

How I have dreamed of singing this...

imagine singing with Bill Evans .

Why would the world's best pianist

ever want to play with me?

Why not?

You're sometimes beyond my comprehension.

One second you are the world's

most self-absorbed person...

The next is as if you are

losing your enthusiasm.

As if you do not understand how good you are.

Would you come a little closer?

You're so far away.

No ...

Yes? What happened now then?

I can't.

When I asked why you kissed me

in the taxi, you said: "I don't know"

It's not good enough for me.

Me and Lina are engaged.

I'm getting married.

Monica ... What are you doing?

-I 'm not used to being rejected in this way...

-I didn't mean it! -Damn I feel so cheap!

Wait! Sit down! Won't you stay?

Are you asking me to stay after that?

Sorry Sture, but you're not my type.

What are you so awfully afraid of?

Monica ...

Monica, you have a lot going on now.

You have the premiere at "Hasse and Tages revue".

You have just recorded a new LP,

and you're on TV every other minute.

Yes, a lot is happening now.

Mr. Chambers is your new fianc.

Could you tell me a little more?

Fianc is a funny expression.

I have many relationships behind me.

- How many?

- As many as I wanted.

You obviously prefer

self-employed men, soloists.

Are you okay?

He doesn't understand.

- I'm sorry, I didn't ... you know ...

- You can just sit here.

- Or not?

- I like successful men.

But now I'll calm down,

and start a family for Eva-Lena.

- So Mr. Chambers, you like it here in Sweden?

- Oh yes, it's been wonderful to me.

So you gonna stay?

You know I... I don't like to think about those things.

I just uhm... everything is really great right now though.

You look great.

- Monica, are you ready?

- Just a moment.

OK, quiet!

Three, two ...

Stop!

- It is the same place every time.

- We'll take it from the start.

Three, two ...

- No.

- Stop!

- I've never heard anything worse.

- Eurovision Song Contest broke her.

It's just too bad.

- You are opening another one?

- It's none of your business.

You can drink as much as you want,

but it should be enough with one.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you?

- I have heard that you're with Steve Chambers.

- Yes, lightning just struck.

- Would you say something?

- No, I ... I'll see you on stage.

Steve!

Steve!

Damn!

Monica ...

Get out.

Get out , I said! It's over .

"Now I want to settle down

and start a family for Eva- Lena."

Are we done?

Should we take it from the beginning?

O, o, o, all women can struggle

If you want something

just don't stand there and stare

Be like me, be fresh and awake

Keep on moving

Shine the pole

For o, o, o, where all women can ...

Monica ...

Call an ambulance!

Good evening. How are you?

Better. It doesn't hurt as much now.

You had a miscarriage.

It is not dangerous,

but you have lost a lot of blood.

So you must take good care of yourself.

There's a premiere. I have to ...

There is no substitute.

It is dangerous for you

doing theater now.

You leave at your own risk .

Think carefully about it.

Can I get painkillers home?

You get something to for sleeping,

and then we take it one day at a time.

Thank you.

Help me now... If something must happen,

do something now...

So if you want a trip to the stars

Do you aim high among the trees

O, o, o, where all women can struggle

If you want something

you can't just lay down and stare

Be like me, keep swinging

You can always sleep later

For o, o, o...

How women can struggle

Oh my... It was absolutely fantastic.

- No one is better than Monica.

- Yes, it was fantastic.

- How are you?

- Fine. But I 'd better go home.

Go home and rest.

- I'll get someone to drive you.

- Would you? Thank you.

- Should I follow you up?

- No , go home to your fiancee.

It can't go on like this anymore.

You don't feel good .

- Was I bad ?

- No, but you need to take it a little easy.

You shouldn't think that know everything

about me and my life.

I've got everything I dreamed of. And then there are

those who believe that it doesn't cost a thing...

that it's free. But a mediocre person like you

probably won't understand!... Thank you!

There were 1,600 in the audience,

and they thought that I was wonderful .

What if people think you are

wonderful when you are feeling bad?

Close the door.

Why are you here, mom?

Wake up.

Good morning.

I was waiting for the post,

then I fell asleep.

Will you get the newspaper?

Thank you.

Monica is successfull again!

Monica Z - a comic genius

- Do you love me?

- Yes.

- Even if I am what I am?

- Yes.

Come on, Mom, why don't we go in?

You arrived two hours late yesterday.

On Thursday, you didn't even come.

This cannot go on like this anymore.

- You are stressing me out. Give me something .

- You do not get something to drink.

We are concerned that you're not able to handle it.

And whether we should continue or stop.

It is not the first time we try it.

Hey.

- You asked why I kissed you in the taxi.

- It doesn't matter now.

I did it because I like you -

- And because ... I want to be with you.

Sorry.

I 'll tell you something ...

About men. I have always thought -

- That if I only I get him,

then I'll be happy.

It's so stupid.

And my father didn't even listen to

a single song of mine in recent years.

How can you do this to your child?

But ...

Hey, it's Eva- Lena. Mother sleeps

on the toilet. What should I do?

- Hey, little buddy. How are you?

- Good.

- Where's Mom?

- In the bathroom.

Get your stuff and your jacket,

I'll be there soon.

Monica ...

Father? Are you here?

I'm taking Eva-Lena with me to Hagfors.

Hurry into the car.

Wait!

Lock the door.

Stop!... Stop the car!...

Tell him he needs to stop !
