You can't just say you don't know, that's what you said on the phone.
When will you know?
I don't know.
Do you want me to spend the night somewhere else? In a hotel or something?
Do you want us to meet later on, we could talk more calmly. Do you...
Do you need more time? What do you need? What has happened?
Bob knows that you are coming back today.
Well, I can...
I can pick him up after school and take him to the zoo or something.
Come and admire him.
Maybe all couples go through this.
Yeah?
- One mustn't be afraid. - No.
- One must speak honestly. - It is difficult
Is it difficult?
I haven't been much help, but I finished that job now, it's over.
Maybe I was asking for too much.
I was the one who had the right to ask.
- I know! - No you don't.
Who was I doing it for, after all?
Were you unfaithful to me?
The truth is, not really. Were you?
There's always someone else when these things happen.
Not in this case.
All right, well... What's happened to us is just...
natural, feelings... change.
But without you I wouldn't feel anything at all.
What do you feel now?
Are you really interested?
No.
There you are, you see, it's the same with me. I don't even want you know.
- What time did you meet him? - Eight thirty.
- Where? - In the park.
- Was he willing? - Yes, verbally.
Did you sense or detect weariness in him?
No, a correct appraisal of the realities.
- Is it making him bitter? - No, greedy.
But you felt his power.
You mean, did I feel fear?
No, because that would have prevented me answering all your questions.
How many vials did he take with him?
Two.
What procedure have you devised for contacting him again?
It's all in my report.
I suggest it's more economical to fill in my successor.
We don't feel there's a need for a successor.
- I've completed my job. - Brilliantly.
That's why we want to rehire you.
It's out of the question.
And what would be the reason for your refusal?
Family.
Oh, couldn't we be of some help there?
No.
Wouldn't it be advisable for you to reconsider?
I'm unable to do that.
Would you be unable for a long time?
I hope not.
Aren't you allowing feelings to prevent you from answering your own questions?
Exactly why I advise you... to hire my successor.
Good. Any questions?
Does our subject still wear pink socks?
Anna?
It's me.
Anna?
I am downtown.
Well, why downtown? I've been waiting all day.
- I need some time to think. - What do you mean, to think?
- Think about what? - To think about me!
Well, where are you, when will you...
- Hello? - Margit, this is Mark.
Now, I know there's no sympathy between us, and it's, uh,
hard for me to ask you for help, but, uh...
you're her only friend. Now, just tell me the truth.
- She has somebody? - She wished you'd say or do something.
Something to reinstall you. You know, a magic wave of the wand.
You arrived sooner than expected, Mark.
Yeah, sure, this is all my fault. Now, how long has this been going on?
- Quite long. - Who is he?
Oh, Mark! I don Vt... Your wife keeps her own secrets.
Margit.
I don't have a magic wand, I don't intend to hang on.
But make her talk to me, it'll be the way that she wants.
But this is not...
proper. Please.
- Yes? - We're over, Mark.
- You have someone? - Yes.
- For a long time? - Does it matter?
- Yes! - Yes.
- Do you... sleep with him? - Yes.
- Do you like it? - Yes.
- More than with me? - Yes.
I see.
- How do you intend to live now? - We have to discuss it.
- Now. - As you want?
Half an hour, at the Café Einstein.
I'm too far for half an hour.
- Are you calling from there? - Yes.
- Is he listening? - No.
- But he is there. - Yes.
- Will 800 a month for Bob be enough? - l suppose.
Will you move in with him or keep the apartment?
I'll keep it if you allow me to.
I've decided not to see Bob.
- At all? - At all.
How can you say that?
He's gonna be fucked up enough as it is,
I don't want to fuck him up even more by playing Sunday Daddy.
- What were you to him, anyway? - Precisely.
But... he knows you, he's yours, he needs a
A real father, full time?
Well, I thought I could be, coming home from the wars, so to speak.
- You say it's better with him than with me. - l get bored of it.
Tell me.
I think what you want to do to Bob is just...
Inhuman? So what you're doing must be human.
- How long is it gonna last? - l don't know.
One week, two weeks?
And how do you dispose of ideas like... like honesty, and loyalty?
If I could only believe that it happened cleanly, at first sight...
Okay. If it makes things easier,
I was in his bed the first night I met him, if you have to know.
What do you expect of me, look what you're doing!
No one is good or bad,
but if you want, I'm the bad one.
And if I knew he existed in this world, I would have never had Bob with you!
Get out! Get out!
Get out, get out!
- Hello?
How... how long have I...
How long have I been here?
