Sex hopp och kärlek

You know why people love the dark more than light?

It's not because we're bad and try to hide our shit but it's...

We never see any light. I don't want to doubt God.

I just want a, a sign.

Just one goddamn... Sorry.

Sorry.

I just wanted to say... just want to know if there's someone-

someone who can be mine.

Welcome to this evening's "Sex, Hope & Love"-

-with your very own cupid, Bertil Kronlund.

Single, eh? Why single?

In geriatric care, there's not so many candidates, well, there are-

but they aren't my first choice.

OK, let's see if you meet someone tonight!

You remember...

Most people...

What should your kind of guy look like?

Preferably older.

So we're not candidates, eh?

-Mature. Affectionate. -Mature. Affectionate. Older.

-Nice eyes... -Nice eyes...

Like you, for instance!

My name is Conny. A bit over forty years old.

No! Now stop it, OK?

-What have you done? Let's see. -OK.

You're crazy. You two broke up.

No....

I don't want to be mean but he's already found someone else.

Lay off!

Just thought it would be better if you knew.

Stop it! You weren't together all that long!

Damn it!

-Drive carefully, Jonas. -OK. Bye mamma!

-Hello Bertil. It's Arne. -Hi.

I have to tell you. It's dad. He died.

He's dead. So it would be best if you came... if you came home.

Is that so. You'll have to take care of it yourself I'm too busy right now...

Thank you!

Bye now. I'll take it.

-Hi Bertil. -Hi.

We put this in today's paper. Want to see?

I put a bird on top. A cross didn't quite seem right, did it?

Who misses him?

Birgit, can you check?

It's OK.

Howys Danne.

You should invite him home some evening.

-I've got to invite mamma too. -She stinks.

One day youyll be old too. You can tell her what you want for your birthday.

Plastic surgery.

If you make your tits bigger, I'll have my dick lengthened.

-You're disgusting! -Stop it now!

Did you see that Alvar died?

Alvar?

That Alvar?

-Oh well, it was probably the alcohol. -Who the hell is Alvar?

He was father to Arne and Bertil, the celebrity, you know...

The TV guy?

I suppose he'll turn up.

After fifteen years I don't suppose he'll show up now.

Nineteen. We've been married eighteen years.

All the more reason to stop going on about it.

Want some coffee?

Monika put this aside. She wondered if she could have it...

But these she didn't get, they're yours and mine.

The blue's yours and the brown's mine.

Remember the chip in mine?

-Remember? -No.

This is where he died.

OK. You've cleared everything out anyway.

Heard that that could be a problem.

No, I quit drinking.

No kidding! Was it hard?

I had to choose - between life and drink.

Hi there. It's good to see you again! We should see each other more often.

Damn. I was afraid you wouldn't come at all.

Hello.

Hello.

My condolences. I saw it in the paper.

Yeah... How are things?

Well, it's... Lennart is over there getting beer.

So it was Lennart, after all.

We're just doing some shopping. We've invited mamma home for dinner.

Solbritt's in a nursing home now. She's becoming senile.

-Hi there! -Hi.

-It's been a long time. -My condolences.

Well, yes, thanks anyway.

-So you came back. -Just for two days.

I guess things are going good for you, being famous and all that.

-Well anyway, I was just... See you... -I was just wondering.

Is it really you that finds all those weirdoes on the program?

No. We have a staff that does that so I...

No kidding. So it's not you. Then what do you do?

-Lennart! -Good question.

Go ahead and say it "Sex, hope and love is out there-

-waiting just for you. It's closer than you think!"

Sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you following me?

No. It's destiny.

Can't you go ask what this costs?

Three hundred fifty. You want to buy it.

Nope. Let's get out of here.

-What? -Come on!

-Wait. -Run!

Why should I run?

-Stop! -Run damn it! Run you weirdo!

Let go of me, you bastards!

-I will have mercy and not sacrifices. -And don't come back!

...the Lord shall not repudiate His people!

That's enough now. Out of here!

...and justice shall once again reign in the courts. Thank you sir.

That was so cool. Damn!

Are you mad? I'm sorry.

-I didn't mean to... -Yes you did!

I didn't mean to. I didn't think it would end like that.

Stop!

What did you do at the mall today?

What's it to you?

Just wondering. Did you look for shoes?

No.

Ok. What did you do then?

Is this the third degree? Do I need a lawyer?

-Now you listen... -Listen yourself...

It's so nice having you here mother. I made beef stew just for you.

When you were little you always said Tough chew. Mama's tough chew.

It's not funny. Don't let it bother you mother. Wait. I'll help you with that.

Mother!

Lennart!

What's the matter with him?

Lennart has had a heart attack, mother.

It makes you a little emotional.

I feel sorry for you, Lennart. It would have been better if you had died.

What the hell is this - a mental hospital?

What do you remember most?

-His kiss! -The kiss.

You remember the kiss after 30 years?

How many men can kiss a woman so she remembers it after 30 years?

Let's see your hands.

I am raising both of mine.

Come on now!

Mother, it's Bertil. Heys back in town. I met him today.

Running after him again? He didn't want you. You are a disgrace!

Distressing yourself for nothing. Why would someone like him want you?

... before it's too late.

Right. When your nose is gone, it's too late to blow it.

Hi there!

Hi. Are you still here?

Until tomorrow. So this is where you work.

-Yes. -Do you like it?

Yes. It is varied. Fun and varied. I just said that!

How's it going with the estate?

A lot of trouble.

Want a cup of coffee?

Now? Just now we're a little busy but...

So I see.

Thank you.

Didn't you work at the hospital?

-Hello. -Hello.

When did you start this job?

About four years ago. They closed the hospital.

-I see. Are you in charge? -Hi there!

Hi.

What was I saying? Yes, are you in...

Bertil, this has got to stop. I'm sorry, really sorry.

There's nothing out of the ordinary but, he's had a heart attack...

I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I'm sorry.

Could you help me sort through Dad's clothes?

Now?

-Guess what! -What?

I found my old records and some of them were yours.

OK.

-That one? Things were better then. -Most things were better then.

Aren't you happy now?

Are you?

Yes. These are worn out and can be thrown away.

There are some things the Salvation Army would like though.

Sorry.

Do you have any bags we can lie down on, I mean put the clothes in.

Of course.

-I'm married. -How married are you?

Married! For real!

-But not happy. -Of course I'm happy!

Then why are you here?

-Where were you yesterday? -At home.

Was Danne there?

Jonas! Stop!

Hi.

I just wanted to say that, you know, it was stupid. I'm sorry.

-Where are you going? -Home.

I work here - or at least, I fix the food and....

It's time for "What happened next?".

Why do you want me to do this?

Because I'm afraid that he won't visit his mother.

Now you want all cards on the table. But the truth has two sides to it.

Why do you watch this crap. It's exploiting feelings-

-and human tragedy and he's the pimp.

You watch crap and eat crap. There's death in that bag.

You should spend your time doing something constructive.
