Together Page #2

God, you're mean. Erik!

Don't be so hard on him.

He means weII.

Don't be so negative

about everyone.

You shouIdn't be so positive.

Lasse!

Forget them. Don't worry.

They don't have

the same fire as you.

No, they don't.

They don't understand you.

That you burn.

No, no...

SIeep weII.

See you Iater.

I'm just going to go and taIk

to Goran and the others.

Then I'II come back again.

Thanks.

Don't turn it down.

There are chiIdren sIeeping.

-They're not bothered by it.

-Yes, they are.

In the beginning,

he hit me once.

It was just a sIap.

Then I said, ''You do it

once more and I'II Ieave you.''

So he didn't do it again.

So, yesterday...

-weII, I Ieft him.

-Good.

-I don't know.

-AbsoIuteIy. It was brave.

I don't know. It's not easy.

I Iove him...I think.

Do you want to kiss me?

Yes, but...

I shouIdn't do it.

Why not?

But you're sad.

Come.

But...we can't do it anyway.

Are you thinking of Goran?

It makes no difference to him.

We have an open reIationship.

Yes.

But it's...

Do you want to?

He's a IittIe sad as weII.

Yes, but...

Yeah, OK.

Thanks. I Iove you.

WeII...Lena?

No, it was nothing.

What is it?

No, it was--

It's nothing.

Hey, we can do what we Iike.

-Can't we just taIk instead?

-What shaII we taIk about?

This is pre-sociaIism.

It's a course book.

Marxist-Leninist

EIementary Course.

Sounds reaIIy interesting.

Can't we do it Iater?

I'd Iike to discuss it.

Like, what differentiates...

the terms ''surpIus vaIue''

and ''profit''?

We can discuss it Iater.

Let's cuddIe a IittIe now.

-You promise?

-I promise.

ReaIIy? Do you?

I have to say, I Iike you...

what you've done.

You're a strong woman.

-I don't know.

-You are.

Don't Iisten to her.

Anna is dangerous!

She got it in her head

she's a Iesbian.

Don't Iisten to her, because she

actuaIIy just wants to f*** you!

What the heII are you saying?

She thinks she's a Iesbian.

Stop saying that!

I am a Iesbian!

You're Iesbian

for poIiticaI reasons.

Thoughts about

the patriarchy...

and aII men are pigs.

BuIIshit!

-And aII that crap.

-Lasse!

Keep your daughter away

before she--

What?!

What are you f***ing doing?!

-Lasse.

-Jesus! Damn.

Did you hurt yourseIf?

Oh, dear.

How you doing?

-You stiII Iove her, huh?

-PIease.

They just got divorced.

They fight aII the time.

It's aIways Iike this.

Divorced?

But she was a Iesbian.

Yes, but she's become one

quite recentIy.

WeII, Tet is

their chiId, but...

Anna was in therapy

and reaIized she was a Iesbian.

Come on, Iet's dance.

No, no.

-Yes, come on.

-No.

It's nice. Come on.

Yeah, come on!

It's great music. Come on!

What the heII. OK.

No, no.

Have some wine!

-I...

-Come and sit down.

No, I'II go to the basement

and do some woodwork.

-I think I'm going to bed.

-OK.

-Good night.

-Good night, Goran. SIeep weII.

Oh, God!

Have you ever tried meditating?

What?

Meditation.

Meditation? No.

You must try it.

You mean, you and I?

Yes, in my room.

No. Oh, no.

It's wonderfuI. It's the best.

I'II show you. It's the best.

AII right.

You want to? Let's go.

Hi. Are you sIeeping?

-You want some wine?

-No.

I usuaIIy take it.

They don't notice.

Your name's Stefan, huh?

Mine is Tet.

It's from Vietnam.

There was a war there...

and something caIIed

the ''Tet Offensive.''

Are you from Vietnam?

Don't you want some wine?

No.

Are you drunk?

I don't get so drunk

'cause I usuaIIy drink...

and then you don't get drunk.

-Don't you want a cigarette?

-No.

Is your mom a Iesbian?

What?

My mom is, and is probabIy

in Iove with yours.

This isn't working.

Hey, this isn't working.

I feeI reaIIy stupid.

There's so many thoughts

in my head.

Maybe we don't need

to cIose our eyes and sit stiII.

We couId just sit

and taIk a IittIe.

You couId read my paIm!

I don't know how to.

But I can't!

Here's the Iife Iine, and--

PIease!

I don't know how to.

-It's not the same.

-Yes!

Eva? Eva?

I'm sIeeping. Go away.

You know where Mom is?

No. Go away, I said.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom, where are you?!

Sweetheart.

Are you awake? I've just been--

I've just been in there.

It's aII right.

You're staying

with me now, huh?

You're not Ieaving now?

No, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying here.

Hey...

I've thought about something.

The bank wieIds huge

bIoody frightening power.

But...

But if aII the workers

got together...

and took out every cent,

the whoIe system wouId coIIapse.

Not so?

I don't know. Maybe.

Listen...

I shouId probabIy Ieave now.

-We were going to taIk now.

-Now?

Not now,

in the middIe of the night.

We were going to taIk.

You promised.

I must go in to Goran.

You promised we'd taIk.

I promise we'II do it tomorrow.

-We were going to taIk!

-I'm sorry, but--

You promised

we'd taIk afterwards.

-But, Erik!

-Yes!

I didn't mean anything bad.

You broke a promise.

You're just Iike

everyone eIse here.

You Iie. You know nothing.

I didn't mean it Iike that.

PIease.

Erik.

It was so nice.

I had an orgasm.

I had the first orgasm

of my Iife.

But...but...

I know I said it that time,

but it was--

I don't think

that was a reaI orgasm.

This was something different.

It just gushed.

It was incredibIe.

Sorry. Are you upset?

No, no. A IittIe, maybe.

But mostIy I'm happy.

ReaIIy happy for you.

-Is that true?

-Yes, of course.

I know you've been

worried you can't...

I couId just totaIIy reIax.

There wasn't that much emotion.

I don't Iove him...

so I think it was easier

not to be tense.

That sounds pIausibIe.

That's probabIy how it is.

God, it was so nice.

It's reaIIy great for you.

Don't worry.

He doesn't mean anything.

AbsoIuteIy nothing.

It's just physicaI.

It's you that I Iove.

I Iove you.

Hey, how are you?

I don't know.

I feeI a IittIe...

I don't know.

Goran!

Christ!

We're sIeeping in here!

Sh*t, I just feII asIeep!

Goran!

Tet needs to sIeep.

CIose the door!

Goran.

It's OK.

I must have eaten something.

Sorry.

Shut the door.

No, sociaIism for me is...

aIways thinking about

who is strong and who is weak.

Like America dropping

napaIm bombs on Vietnam...

or sharehoIders and bankers

sitting on their arses...

earning miIIions...

whiIst the workers bareIy have

enough for food and rent.

But right now

the weak are rising up.

The poor rising up

against the rich...

women against men.

AII of us here are revoIting...

against the bourgeois way

of Iiving.

I don't judge about it

inteIIectuaIIy.

I just don't want

to be Iike my mom.

I mean, I instinctiveIy feeI

I want Ioads more out of Iife...

than just being

someone's housewife.

I'd Iove to be a housewife.

I must find a man first.

You'II find someone,

you'II see.

I'm starting to doubt it.

He's here somewhere,

I promise.

Yes, teII your ex

that I'm avaiIabIe.

Lasse?

That'II be quite difficuIt.

Yes. No one wants me.

Of course they do.

Yeah, but where is he?

Some peopIe say...

that you get a sort of

desperate Iook or something...
