Hi. I'm sorry. Did you wait long?

- I just got here. - Hi.

Anyway ... Hi.

- Is this the place? - No, it's right over here.

- Nervous? - Sure. It might be a home.

It's not on the market yet, but the owner wants it sold fast, so ...

Fantastic.

Are we going to live here? Do you want to live here with me?

- Do you? - If you ask nicely.

Let's do it.

Let's take this home and be a family.

- Oh? - Our family.

- Yes. - I think it's fantastic.

- What happened? - Shit!

- I think it was an old nail. - Careful.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - You're inside me now.

Careful. You might acquire a taste for it.

I'm never letting go now. Never.

I don't want you to.

Let's celebrate.

There's a lot we don't talk about.

- Such as? - Lots of stuff.

How we feel about each other.

- Okay, so how do you feel? - Well ...

I hate you. That's one thing I hardly ever say to you.

Thanks.

I hate that you think I think you can't live without me -

- but I know you can live without me. And that's exactly why I love you.

- And what else? - I hate your feigned solicitude.

Your pathetic self image of being good and giving.

You never give anything. You can't.

You're a beast.

I love you because you're a beast.

What do you want me to do?

How can I make you love me again?

Tell me.

Tell me.

I can feel you.

What have I done wrong since you can't feel me?

- Don't you care? - No, I do.

What is it then?

- Just tell me. - I don't know what to tell you.

I have to go. I can't take any more of this.

- Stay. - I can't take it. Do you understand?

I can't take it anymore! No, I have to go.

Stop it ... Bruno, stop it!

Leave me alone. I have to go to work.

Are they still trying to kill each other?

No, they've settled down.

- Have you got them? - Yes. Thanks.

Are you okay?

- What's going on? - I bought flowers. Is that so strange?

No, not strange at all.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Tell me. Go on.

Why did nothing turn out like we dreamed?

There's still time. Sure there is.

- No. - Do me a favor.

Put aside all your frustrations and all the plans you make without me -

- and everything that's keeping us apart, and be with me.

- I can't. - Sure you can.

- Try! - It's too late, Bruno.

- It's not too late. You can do it. - I can't.

- Yes. - I can't!

We can't.

You have to!

Thank you.

What?

- Remember the first time? - What first time?

The first time we met. I was so anxious.

- Why? - To see if you came.

Who you were, and what you wanted.

- I was anxious about everything. - You miss that?

- I'm still anxious. - What about?

To see if you come home, if you're there -

- who you are, what you want.

You're just curious about yourself, Bruno.

Oh yes.

You love yourself.

You can't stop observing yourself and sensing your reactions.

You're your own greatest fetish, did you know that?

- I feel a bit upset now. - Don't.

I've always known who you are, Bruno.

Who am I?

You're the man who loves so much, you must destroy what you love -

- so it can be yours.

And who are you?

I'm the woman willing to be destroyed.

What do you want?

What do you want?

What is it you want?

I want, very slowly ...

... calm as I've never been before -

- and with a poise I've never had before -

- to make an incision in your bosom.

And cut open your perfect marble skin.

See it come apart -

- so that I with all my love can plunge my way in.

And with an unquenchable hunger -

- I will put my mouth to your beating ventricles -

- and have the blood fill up my mouth.

Cut.

More!

Eat me! I want to be inside you.

- Eat me. - You're already inside.

Hello. I've booked a room, and I'd like to pay for it.

- Hi, Benny. - Hi, Bruno. A drink?

Not today. I have a favor to ask of you.

I have these two messages. Would you write one there?

- And the other one here? - Sure.

What do you need it for?

- Maybe someday I'll tell you. - Okay. Secrets.

- There you go. - Great. Thanks.

- It's strange. - What is?

I thought I knew you, that's all. I didn't know you were ...

- The kind who went to a hotel. - Well, I'm not.

I don't mind. I'm just surprised.

- But you wanted to go to a hotel. - I said that?

No, you wrote it.

I wrote to you I wanted to go to a hotel?

It was your idea to meet here.

Very funny.

Stop it.

- Stop it. - I'm not joking.

Let's ...

I got this. Let me see.

Who the hell did this?

- Did you write this? - No.

What the hell's going on?

What the fuck?

Did you tell anyone? You told Bruno.

No!

This is creepy.

It is pretty strange.

- Are you okay? - Sure.

I just don't want you to be afraid or get second thoughts.

How can you always be so certain?

Aren't you ever scared that what you feel is right might be wrong?

Not with you. I'm certain about you.

- You are? - Yes.

- Well? - Hi.

The hotel clerk didn't know anything. Jerk.

No phone number, no nothing. How is that possible?

- It's so strange. - I know.

Well, here we are.

- At a café. - And you're holding my hand.

I could get used to this.

What?

Aren't you afraid something might happen?

Sure I am. I'm terrified.

- The hell you are. - Sure I am. But I ...

- I'm going to tell him tonight. - Tonight?

- And what about Vera? - Yeah ...

- And you? - What about me?

- When are you going to do it? - Well, I'll tell her tonight.

Or maybe that's too obvious ... Tomorrow. In a couple of days.

I'll wait a couple of days, and you'll do it tonight.

- You'll be mine all the time? - Soon.

- Let's go. - Now?

Aren't we having you and Vera over for dinner tonight? We are.

You're joking.

Maxine speaking.

Yes.

Okay.

Sure. I'm on my way.

- Excuse me. B3? - That way. But he's still asleep.

It's my husband. What happened?

You gave me a scare.

I gave me a scare.

Feeling better?

Take a wild guess.

I stopped guessing a long time ago.

- Do they know what's wrong? - No.

The doctors don't know anything yet.

I've missed you.

- I don't believe you. - It's true.

Yeah?

- Does that hurt? - No.

- It's fine. - You're not pregnant, are you?

- Huh? - No.

- Not hiding a little bastard in here? - No.

Good. Because you know what?

- I'd have to kill it. - I bet you would.

I'm going to talk to a doctor. Okay?

- Want me to get a wheelchair? - No. My legs are just a bit wobbly.

- When are Valdemar and Vera due? - I cancelled dinner.

- Isn't that overreacting a bit? - Well, I didn't think so!

- Invite them again. - It's too late now.

- I know, but tomorrow. - I'll call and ask them.

They still look so fresh. I'm so glad they didn't die.

- I want to ask you something. - Let me just get that.

Maxine speaking. No, it's okay.

I'll be at the shop tomorrow at 10.

Can we meet?

Not now. Tomorrow or ...

No, we're back home.

Sleep tight. Me too. Bye.

- Sit down, please. - Why?

I want to ask you something. Sit down.

- Oh, look. - Leave it. Just leave it.

Please answer me ...

Answer me truthfully. I won't be offended.

- We both know that's impossible. - I mean it.

Did you for even a second hope I was dead?

- Today? - Today.

- That you'd die of stomach cramps? - You didn't know what it was.

Did you deep inside hope you were finally rid of me?

- Do you want me to say I love you? - I want you to answer me truthfully.

No, I didn't.

What a mess.

- Is he at home? - Yes.

- Is he very ill? - I think so.

- What am I going to do? - Damned if I know.

What if he dies?

- Think he's going to? - Maybe.

There's a risk he might die?

I don't know. Maybe.

- What do the doctors say? - Nothing.

But they must say something.

- Just that they think it's serious. - Serious?

Poor guy, huh?

Poor us.

Yeah, well ...

Do you still have sex with Vera?

- Where did that come from? - Do you?

- Do you still have sex with Bruno? - Answer me.

- No. - Never?

Not since we started seeing each other.

Are you afraid I won't follow you?

Should I be?

Would you stay with Vera, if it wasn't for me?

Maybe.

Could you live with a man you didn't love?

- Huh? - I already am.

You're not living with it. You're doing something about it.

I am? It's a bit hard for me to do something now.

- Why? - He's sick. Should I leave him now?

So wait. I don't want to rush you. I'm the one who said we should wait.

Maxine!

Maxine!

Come on. Just come on.

Where are we going, Bruno?

Have you sinned?

- I hope so. - You hope so?

Don't we sin whenever we desire something that isn't ours?

It's not a sin to want more.

- I guess not. - It depends on what you want.

So, you desire something sinful?

- Don't you? - I want you. That's not wrong.

- Is it wrong? - Depends on how you want me.

I'm just trying to see you.

I'm trying to see and understand you.

- You can't. You don't understand me. - I did understand you once.

- Yes, but not anymore. - Why don't I anymore?

I don't know.

Maybe it just doesn't last.

Being together. Sharing everything.

Maybe you turned into you, and I turned into me.

I just don't understand.

Hello! Give me something. Give me something!

I want you. I love you. Do you understand?

You've got to give me something. Tell me how we get it back.

- How? - We can't.

- We can do everything. - We can't do anything.

Bruno?

- Good to see you. - You too.

- How are you? - Fine. How about you?

I heard about your stomach ...

That was just a stupid misunderstanding.

- So, let's get together. - Sure. Sounds great.

I think Maxine called you about our dinner.

- She did? I didn't know. - She called you.

She must have talked to Vera then. I haven't talked to Maxine ... at all.

- So, dinner? - Are you busy?

- Generally speaking? - A beer?

- Now? - Now. Let's grab a beer.

- I need to close up the gallery. - Oh, cut the crap! Let's get a beer.

We're going for a beer.

Let's go get a beer.

Alright. Hello there.

- We'd like a ... soda. - Beer!

- Draught? - Yes.

- So, is everything okay? - Yes. How about you?

Everything's fine. I'm content ... Well, you're never 100% content.

You're not?

Well, you know. At our age we've resigned to the fact -

- we'll never reach those blue mountains.

- Am I right? - We? Oh, at our age, you mean.

- Well, haven't we? - I'm still fighting.

Sure, but the disappointment of not having reached them has lessened.

- Thanks a lot. - Thanks.

Cheers.

- How very sad. - It sounds sad to you?

I didn't mean it like that. I see it as a positive life-goes-on kind of thing.

- Got a plan? - In regard to my dreams, you mean?

- Is Vera part of that plan? - How do you mean?

Vera, your wife, is she part of that plan?

- Maybe she is. - You sure sound sad.

Let me just get this straight.

Vera isn't part of the plan, or ...?

I don't know. Maybe.

- That's not very upbeat, Valdemar. - Well, I don't know.

Stuff like that hasn't really got anything to do with anyone else.

In other words, it doesn't matter who you're with?

- That's not what I said. - That's what it sounded like to me.

- What's with you? - You said it was up to oneself.

- So it doesn't matter who you're with. - What's eating you?

- Nothing. - You're just being so inquisitorial.

I didn't mean to. I'm just curious.

How about you? Have you got any dreams?

I want to get inside Maxine.

It's like I haven't seen her. Not in the obvious sense -

- but like everyone else. Outside of me.

It must never come to that. Never!

She must be part of me.

- Something has happened to me. - Okay?

It's as if I'm born again.

I can feel her.

She's with me.

In ... my body.

In my blood, my vision -

- and in my entire perception of everything around me.

And I must get inside her, so she can feel the same as me.

- Think you can? - I must.

Well, that's great.

What's wrong?

- What's going on? - Sit down!

Sit down, okay? I'm fine. Sit down.

Sit down, for fuck's sake!

Do you hate me?

- No, I'd just like to call someone ... - Answer me.

- Are you trying to rob me of my life? - No.

If you let me down, do I have your permission to act resolutely?

It's my right.

I don't quite follow you. I don't understand ...

If you hurt me, I'll strike back!

Understand? I'll strike back, if you hurt me!

No more! Stop it, Bruno.

Stop it.

What's going on?

- I feel great. - Something's wrong, Bruno.

Why do you keep telling me something's wrong?

- I feel fucking great! - You need a doctor.

Don't be a petty little person with no eye for greatness!

- Oh, rise up, woman! - You're sick. Don't you understand?

Don't be a measly little bug, or I'll crush you under my feet.

We need to call a doctor.

Maybe nothing more can be done than is expected of the unknown.

I'm sorry.

Bruno?

Are you there?

- What's going on? Where am I? - You were unconscious.

What's going on? Let me out of this.

- Keep still. - Someone get me out of this!

The ambulance came, because you lost consciousness.

- Your wife was worried. - I'm just tired after days of work.

I'm just tired. Let me out!

- What is this? - Please let them ...

Let go of me! Let go of me!

- Bruno ... - Don't you ever do this again!

I'm very sorry.

I'd like to speak to Lasse. It's Bruno.

Thanks.

Hello, it's Bruno. Is this a bad time?

I just have one question.

I'm considering putting my condo up for sale -

- and I was wondering -

- if I could do it without letting Maxine in on it.

Without her knowing.

It's impossible?

Okay.

Look, I'm ...

I'm getting second thoughts now.

I'll think of something else. Sorry to bother you.

Yes. Bye.

- Hello, Bruno. - Hello.

- What can I do for you today? - I need a book on carving.

- Meat carving? - Yes.

A cow or a pig or ...

Let's see what we've got.

I've got this book for aspiring chefs.

Here's an illustration of how to carve an ox.

Planning on filling the freezer?

- This is fine. - Okay.

- Charge it to your account? - Please.

Hello.

- A knife? - Yes.

- Got anything special in mind? - For meat.

For carving or boning?

- Carving. - Okay.

- Large chunks of meat? - Yes.

- Rough carving. - I'd choose something like this.

With a nice big handle, a good grip -

- and the old-fashioned Japanese style blade "V10 Gold" -

- the hardest steel in the world.

- It's quite light. - You want something bigger?

Yes, this is not what I had in mind.

I pictured a bigger knife. I need it for rough carving.

This is good for getting in between the bones -

- but if you want something bigger, you're looking at a real chef's knife.

It sure is a fine-looking knife.

Very nice.

The other one was too small.

Hello?

Hello?

What's inside of me?

Hi.

- I saw your husband yesterday. - What a surprise.

I bumped into him on the street, and we went for a beer.

Something's wrong.

He said that if I hurt him, he'd do something to me.

He said that if hurt him, he'd strike back.

- Then he asked, if I hated him. - Oh.

Well, what ... what do you think?

Not a whole lot right now.

- What do you mean? - What I said.

Okay.

This is our first defeat. You feel I've let you down ...

No.

- What's wrong? - You're getting second thoughts.

Aren't you? You're getting second thoughts.

- Aren't you? Answer me. - I just ...

Is it so strange to ...

What do you want?

I thought I wanted you.

- You thought you wanted me? - Yes, I thought I wanted you.

- Find out what you think you want. - You don't know? You can't feel it?

What don't you understand?

- What's all this? - We're having guests for dinner.

- Valdemar and Vera. - When did you talk to them?

I arranged it with Valdemar.

Come and sit down. We need to talk about something.

Put that down, please.

There is something ... we need to talk about.

I'm sorry I've been a bit over the top. I've settled down again.

Let's put the past behind us and look ahead.

Let's focus on what's important to you and me.

- Our friends, for instance. - Okay.

Friends are important to you, aren't they?

- I don't know what you mean. - You don't know what I mean?

- What do you mean? - What else is important to you?

- I'm just asking. - You're being strange.

I just want to know what's important to you.

- What is this? - What's important to you?

- Our friends and our home ... - Did you try to call them?

They confirmed you didn't try to call.

What is this all about? Look ...

Maybe I ... didn't leave a message.

I don't remember, what with your being sick ...

I'm not sick.

You're not sick. Well, then ...

We're having a conversation here.

I'm trying to find out what's important to you.

- To both of us. - Are you giving me the third degree?

Okay.

Your friends are important, but not enough to get a hold of them.

We've got that straight, right? Okay. I'm important to you -

- but not enough for you to listen to me and understand that I'm not sick.

What, then, is really important to you?

- What's important to you? - Isn't it obvious? You are.

There's no price high enough to be with you. None!

- You don't believe me? - I don't know what to believe.

- You think I'm lying? - Your words make no sense to me.

I'm not lying. There's no price high enough to be with you. None!

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

- What did you do, baby? - I hate you!

Bruno, come back.

Bruno!

Bruno, let me out!

What's happening to you?

What's happening? Give me that.

- Give it to me. - Do you want me to stab you?

Do you want me to kill you? Let go.

Please ...

You fucked everything into shambles!

All the beautiful things we could have shared. Fucking whore!

And that's why you must die. You're going to die now.

You don't deserve my love.

And now ... you're going to die.

Don't you love me anymore?

No!

Die! Die! Die! Die, damn it. Die!

Die! Die! Die!
