Summer with Monika

SUMMER WITH MONIKA

- Time for a beer, boys.

- Great.

Hey, got a match?

I forgot mine.

I'm sure I do.

Thanks.

Spring's here. Did you notice?

- Yes.

People shouldn't work

on a day like this.

No, it's really crazy.

Let's go away

and never come back.

We'll see the whole wide world.

You game?

Sure, let's go.

- You work at Forsberg's, right?

- In the stockroom.

- Dull?

- Yeah.

- You know where I work?

- Yeah.

It must be cold there.

I thought I'd freeze

my ass off last winter.

Listen...

have you seen Song of Love?

It's showing at the Garbio.

Would you like to...

See it with you?

That would be terrific.

- If you're free tonight, I'll get tickets.

- Great!

I've gotta go.

See you at the theater around 7:00.

Bye!

I guess spring's here after all.

Yeah, damn it.

- Where is that damned boy?

- Gone again, but I'll give him an earful.

- I want invoices when he gets back.

- All right.

Did he go to the old folks' home?

I promised he'd be there by 3:00.

He's always dawdling,

and now he's disappeared.

Push him harder, Johan.

This isn't a rest home.

Send him downstairs for some 53s,

if there are any.

Unless the darned kid took the last

and didn't write it down.

Where the blazes have you been?

What do you mean,

disappearing like that?

Well, I...

Go get some 53s,

and jump to it.

We're all out.

I said so yesterday.

All out?

I've told you before:

Always write it down!

- But I told...

- No excuses!

Go get some 28s.

- What about the old folks' home?

- It's ready to go.

That blasted kid's

always trying to sneak off.

Where are my invoices?

Did he go for coffee again?

Of course.

I'll bring you the invoices myself.

Any 28s left?

- Ten dozen at least.

If only I could trust you,

but I have to double-check everything.

Did you break something again?

- They slipped.

- Slipped!

And where are my invoices?

How many times...

No use yelling at him.

I'll bring them.

What invoices?

New ones, obviously.

Monthly accounts. I'll do it myself.

Get to the old folks' home,

and step on it!

You puttin' down roots there, kid?

Move it!

Wasn't she lovely?

Yes.

Some people have it all.

A beautiful house.

Everyone's nice to them.

They drive around

in brand-new cars

and go dancing in fancy clubs.

Look at that pretty blouse.

- Where?

Here in the window.

Very nice.

Hey...

you have to hold me

or I'll freeze.

You may kiss me now, Harry.

I guess we kinda

like each other, huh?

Monika...

I'm crazy about you.

There's no one but you.

Only you.

I'm freezing.

We can't sit here much longer.

Hold me once more

before we go.

You're not mad at me, are you?

I like you.

- Are you sure?

- Dead sure.

Let's go.

- Hi.

- Hi. You're here already?

Do you have to go home

before our date?

Not really,

but I've got my work clothes on,

and my old coat.

You see, I thought

we could eat at my place.

Dad's in a boating club,

and they're meeting today.

He's eating out with the guys

before the meeting.

So I thought we might...

You're so sweet.

It'll be such fun.

Almost like we're married.

You're so sweet,

not like the others at all.

Like right out of a movie.

Let's go.

What a lovely place you've got.

I wish our place was like this,

but the kids

would break everything.

Who's this?

- My mother.

She died when I was eight.

Poor little Harry.

Sit down while we wait

for the kettle to boil.

A little something for you.

For me?

Oh, they're so stylish!

Thanks so much!

It's nothing.

Feel how soft your stockings are.

It's your leg that's soft.

- It's your leg now.

- Then I'll keep it here.

You can keep all of me.

I refuse to leave.

And I won't let you.

Come here.

My old man!

- I can't take it anymore.

- He's sick again. It's his stomach.

How do I look?

Does anything show?

Don't worry.

He's half blind without his glasses.

Good evening.

So this is Monika.

- I hope we're not a bother.

- Not at all.

- You feeling sick?

- Yes, I had to leave early.

My stomach, as usual.

I just don't understand.

I'll be back in the hospital soon,

I suppose.

But you two finish

your coffee in peace.

I have my aches and pains, miss.

It's just the way it is,

so don't mind me.

I'll just sit in the kitchen

in the meantime.

I'd better be going

so he can get to bed.

I'll see you home.

- Late, aren't you?

- Just get out of the way.

Nika's got a new fella!

Beat it, or I'll tell the caretaker

who swiped his bike.

You wouldn't do that

to an old pal, would you?

- Then out of the way!

- All right.

I'll leave you alone

to make out with your boyfriend.

He needs a good thrashing.

Miss Eriksson, tell your brats

to stop kicking my door!

And you tell your husband

to stop snoring!

We can't get a wink of sleep

with all the noise!

Drink this,

and then it's time to get up.

Hasse, get the cigarette butt

from my coat pocket.

- What do I get?

- You can have the candy there.

Get up, you!

Shake a leg!

Pass me the matches, Mom.

- Where are they?

Shut up!

- No, you don't! Get up!

- Never a moment's peace.

- Don't stand there in your nightie!

- I was just looking.

Far more than faithful

Am I to you

In all my thoughts, dear

Our love is true

My heart yearns

For you, my dear

Silly Monika!

Shut up!

- Tubby-chubby Nika!

- Shut up, brats!

- Where do you want this?

- Just put it there.

- Don't pinch me!

- There's plenty to pinch, eh?

You back on the job?

I thought you'd quit.

A man's gotta have his cigs.

I can't stand those guys

pinching me all the time.

Why don't they pinch their wives?

- Not as much fun.

I'm fed up.

Come out with me.

I'll cheer you up.

Not likely. I've got other fish to fry.

I'm going steady.

You too?

All the floozies

are going off the market.

Even Pyret got engaged.

- The old man.

- Nilsson!

- It's Svensson.

Same difference.

I promised your boss

a bottle on my ration card.

He said you had money.

Hurry up before they close!

- Does it tally?

- Yes.

Pull out any bad ones you find.

I'll help you.

Let go! That's not funny.

Want to come out

to the country on Sunday?

I'm never going anywhere

with you again.

Knock it off!

Have it your way.

You can rot in here for all I care.

Here's the receipt.

Hasse, shouldn't you be in bed?

I'm busy.

How about a drop

before you go in?

Don't mind if I do.

That's the stuff!

- See ya.

- So long, boys.

What's gotten into you?

- Don't you remember?

- Can't say I do.

We met 25 years ago today.

Bless me,

I'd completely forgotten!

But you remembered.

That's right.

So I bought a cake and a bottle.

Fancy you buying a cake.

The kids will be so happy.

That's my girl.

My good old gal.

Ludde, really!

So much for the light.

Can't a person read in peace?

We'll light candles

and have Christmas all over again.

Not bad, eh?

Just like Christmas.

And I've got a bottle here.

Got any pickled cucumbers?

- In the cupboard.

Don't step on my new shoes!

Keep your things out of the way!

- You're drunk again!
