Erland Jansson
- Gertrud Kanning: I dreamed something last night.
- Erland Jansson: What did you dream?
- Gertrud Kanning: I was running naked through the streets, dogs chasing me, and when they caught me, I awoke. And I realized we two are completely alone in the world.
- Erland Jansson: Who are you, really?
- Gertrud Kanning: I am many things.
- Erland Jansson: Who?
- Gertrud Kanning: The morning dew dripping from the leaves of the tree. White clouds sailing, no one knows where.
- Erland Jansson: Who else are you?
- Gertrud Kanning: I am the moon. I am the sky.
- Erland Jansson: Are you anyone else?
- Gertrud Kanning: Yes, I am a mouth. A mouth seeking another's mouth.
- Erland Jansson: Sounds like a dream.
- Gertrud Kanning: It is a dream. Life is a dream.
- Erland Jansson: Life?
- Gertrud Kanning: Yes. Life is a long, long chain of dreams, drifting into one another.
- Erland Jansson: And the mouth you spoke of?
- Gertrud Kanning: A dream.
- Erland Jansson: And the mouth you seek?
- Gertrud Kanning: Also, a dream.
- [kiss]
- Gertrud Kanning: Give me your mouth
- [kiss]
- Gertrud Kanning: Your wonderful mouth.
- Erland Jansson: Where do we go now?
- Gertrud Kanning: Your place. Come.
- Gertrud Kanning: Remember our first kiss?
- Erland Jansson: I remember many kisses, a rain of kisses, kisses that went through my bones, kisses that made me gasp for breath.
- Erland Jansson: I'm tired. I went out on the town last night.
- Gertrud Kanning: As usual. Is that necessary to be an artist?
- Gertrud Kanning: Erland, there's so much music in you that wants to get out into the world, out among people. The way you live, it will die, perhaps soon, perhaps sooner than you think. Your inspirations from a smelly bar after a sleepless night - Erland, they're worthless. Erland, I beg you. I beg you as if I were begging for my life. Don't go.
- Erland Jansson: I live as I want to and as I must live. It's in my blood. Even if I did promise you to stay home, I'd do anyway.
- Gertrud Kanning: Then it is better that you promise nothing.
- Erland Jansson: I live hard because I like to. Tomorrow is a new beginning.
