Drehbuch  

10) Int. Gothenburg - Magnus' flat - living room - morning

Svenja is sitting on the sofa. She just woke up from a bad dream and is still drunk.

Svenja

Magnus!!! ... MAAAGNUS!!!

Magnus appears. With a stern face he stands at the door.

Hastily Svenja searches for something among the rubbish on the table. Between a pile of photographs she finds two packages of cigarettes. They are empty.

Svenja

(out of breath)

He robbed me of my sleep, AGAIN! That son of a bitch!

Magnus

Same shit, different night...

Pause.

Svenja

The bastard.

Magnus

You've been dreaming of father again?!

Svenja

YES! About that bastard again. He just won't let me live in peace!

(bitter)

Bastard! ... He's to blame for all this. Him! Never forget that!

 

Magnus

Yeayea...

Svenja

He got us into all this! He left us in the lurch! When you were still messing in your nappies! Always remember that!

Magnus rolls his eyes.

Svenja

Always remember that, always! Promise me!

Magnus

No wonder you're dreaming about him after getting out his pictures - Like you always do when you're wasted. Throw them away and be done with them!

Svenja

Don't YOU tell me what to do! ... The bastard simply abandoned me!

(aghast)

He destroyed everything...

camera: long shot (ceiling corner)

Svenja

(angry)

He just disappeared! He took the best from me!

(cynical)

And you are still here!

Magnus

(quietly to himself)

I'm really not in the mood anymore for this kind of shit.

Magnus turns around and is about to leave.

Svenja

Don't you leave now!!! I'm not ready yet!

Magnus

What else?

Svenja

You know, before, when you weren't here, as usual of course... some of those crazy Jehovah-witness freaks knocked on our door.

What do you think I did?!?

Magnus

(bored)

No idea. You probably didn't offer them a beer.

Svenja

Don't make fun of me!

... I sent them to hell!!! They talk the same shit, like your father used to. I lost him to mind twisters like those fuckers! They destroy everything! They'll burn in hell.

(pause)

And he will too!

Magnus

That doesn't make any sense at all...

He turns around and goes.

Svenja (O.S.)

MAGNUS! MAAGNUS! STAY WITH ME!

Magnus leaves the flat by slamming the door behind him.

Camera: corridor, pointing at door

Svenja buries her face in her hands.

Svenja

(powerless)

Don't leave me alone. Don't leave me alone...
