11) Int. Halmstad - Runa's home - day

Lasse is packing his bag. Runa leans at the wall. She seems to be tense.

Runa

So you are going to visit one of your girls?

Lasse

What makes you think that?

Runa

... with all those women listed in your address book.

Lasse

(smiles)

No. I'm only moving on.

Runa

... to another girl.

Lasse

Please don't be unreasonable again.

Runa

Am I not good enough for you?

Lasse

It is not about that. You are wonderful. But I have to move on. I'll be in touch.

Runa

Do you really want to let me and Ibsy down, just like that?

Lasse

Let you down? I don't understand what you are talking about. You have everything you need.

 

Lasse fishes something out of his bag.

Lasse

Well ... and please give that to Ibsy from me.

In his hands he is holding a sweet puppet.

Lasse

This is Mr. Petri Smödhelm. So far he's been everywhere with me. He's almost become a part of me... But when Ibsy saw him, there was this glint in her eye. Petri will be in good hands with her.

Runa

Ibsy doesn't need a doll, she needs you! You mean a lot to her!

Lasse

Please understand. I cannot stay... I have to go.

Lasse shoulders his bag.

Lasse

Thank you for everything. From the bottom of my heart. I'll be in touch.

He leaves. After walking some meters he turns around. Runa raises her hand for farewell. Lasse dearly waves goodbye and continues to go down the street.

Close Up Runa

Runa leans her head resignedly against the door frame.

Runa

(quiet)

... I need you too!

She is verging to tears.
