Dr. Evald Borg It's absurd to bring children into this world and think they'll be better off than we were.

Marianne Borg That's just an excuse.

Dr. Evald Borg Call it what you want. I was an unwanted child in a hellish marriage.

Professor Isak Borg If I have been feeling worried or sad during the day, I have a habit of recalling scenes from childhood to calm me. So it was this evening.

🥱

Marianne Borg I know that this is wrong.

Dr. Evald Borg There's neither right nor wrong. We act according to our needs.

🥱

Marianne Borg I saw you with your mother, and I was panic-stricken.

Professor Isak Borg I don't understand.

Marianne Borg I thought: That's his mother. An old woman, cold as ice, more forbidding than death. And this is her son, and there are light years between them. He himself says he's a living corpse. And Evald is growing just as lonely, cold and dead. And I thought of the baby inside me. All along the line, there's nothing but cold and death and loneliness. It must end somewhere.

Cousin Sara [During one of Professor Borg's dreams] As professor emeritus, you ought to know why it hurts. But you don't know. You know so much, and you don't know anything.

🧡

🥱

Marianne Borg You're a coward.

Dr. Evald Borg Yes. This life sickens me. I will not be forced to take on a responsibility that will make me live for one day longer than I want to. And you know that I mean what I say.

🥱

Professor Isak Borg [First lines] In our relations with other people, we mainly discuss and evaluate their character and behavior. That is why I have withdrawn from nearly all so-called relations. This has made my old age rather lonely. My life has been full of hard work and I am grateful. It began as toil for bread and butter and ended in a love of science.

🧡

🥱

Marianne Borg Sleep well?

Professor Isak Borg Yes, but recently I've had the weirdest dreams, as if I must tell myself something I won't listen to when I'm awake.

Professor Isak Borg [In Professor Borg's dream] And the punishment?

🥱

Professor Isak Borg The place where wild strawberries grow!

[Inner voice]

Professor Isak Borg Perhaps I got a little sentimental. Perhaps I got tired and felt a bit sad. It's not impossible that I began to think of this and that, associated with places where I played as a child. I don't know how it happened, but the day's clear reality dissolved into the even clearer images of memory that appeared before my eyes with the strength of a true stream of events.

Anders Ah, when creation shows so much beauty, how radiant must be the source!

Hitch Hiking Sara [to the Professor and Marianne] He is going to be a minister and Anders a doctor.

Viktor Reciting poetry is against our agreement not to discuss God or science on the trip.

Hitch Hiking Sara It was beautiful.

Viktor How can anyone today study to become a minister!

Anders Your rationalism is as dry as dust.

Viktor I say that modern man...

Anders I say that...

Viktor Believes in only himself and his biological death.

Anders Modern man is a figment of your imagination. Man regards death with horror.

Viktor Religion for the people. Opium for the aching limb.

Hitch Hiking Sara How *sweet* they both are! I always believe with the one I spoke to last.

🧡

🥱

Hitch Hiking Sara [a man studing to be a minister and another studying science return from a fight] Well, does God exist?

🥱

Professor Isak Borg I dozed off, but was haunted by vivid and humiliating dreams. There was something overpowering in these dream images that bored relentlessly into my mind.

The Examiner [In Professor Borg's dream] You have been accused of guilt.

Professor Isak Borg Accused of guilt?

The Examiner I'll make a note that you haven't understood the charge.

Professor Isak Borg Is it serious?

The Examiner Unfortunately, Professor.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Professor Isak Borg [In Professor Borg's dream] What are you writing in my book?

The Examiner My verdict.

Professor Isak Borg And that is?

The Examiner That you are incompetent.

Professor Isak Borg Incompetent?

🥱

Professor Isak Borg We're not married, Miss Agda.

Agda I thank God for that every night. I've used my common sense for 74 years, and it won't let me down now.

Professor Isak Borg Is that your last word?

Agda Yes. But I shall say plenty to myself about selfish, crabby old men who never think of those who have served them faithfully for 40 years.

Professor Isak Borg Incredible that I have put up with your bossing for so long.

The Examiner What does it mean?

Professor Isak Borg I don't know.

The Examiner Really?

Professor Isak Borg I'm a doctor, not a linguist.

The Examiner What you see on the blackboard is a doctor's first duty. Don't you know what that is?

Professor Isak Borg Let me think.

The Examiner Take your time.

Professor Isak Borg A doctor's first duty - A doctor's - I've forgotten.

The Examiner A doctor's first duty is to ask for forgiveness.

🧡

🤔

🥱

Professor Isak Borg Miss Agda, as we have known each other for so many years, don't you think we could call each other Agda and Isak?

Agda No, I don't.

Professor Isak Borg Why not?

Agda Have you brushed your teeth, Professor? No intimacies for me, thank you. It's all right between us as it is.

Professor Isak Borg But we are old now.

Agda Speak for yourself. A woman is jealous of her reputation. What would people think if we suddenly began to say Agda and Isak? They would make fun of us.

Professor Isak Borg Are you always right?

Agda Almost always. At our age we should know how to behave. Good night, Professor. I'll leave the door ajar. You know where I am if you need anything.

Hitch Hiking Sara Oh, yeah?

Professor Isak Borg Is that your car up at the gate?

Hitch Hiking Sara Yes, that's my car.

Professor Isak Borg Looks antique.

Hitch Hiking Sara Yes, it's antique, like its owner.

Hitch Hiking Sara So you have self-irony too. That's fantastic.

🧡

🥱

Professor Isak Borg Why should you pay for my gasoline?

Henrik Åkerman There are things that *can't* be paid back...

Eva Åkerman We haven't forgotten

Henrik Åkerman Ask anyone around here. They all remember your kindness.

Mrs. Borg, Isak's Mother Sigbritt's eldest boy will soon be 50. I thought of giving him Father's gold watch. It has no hands. Does that matter?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Mrs. Borg, Isak's Mother I remember when Sigbritt's boy was a newborn. He used to lie in the lilac arbor at the summer house. Now he's turning 50. And little cousin Sara used to carry him around and sing to him. She married Sigfrid, that good-for-nothing.

Professor Isak Borg Which one do you like best?

Hitch Hiking Sara I don't know. Anders is going to be a minister - He's a darling.

[sighs]

Hitch Hiking Sara But, a minister's wife - Viktor's nice too. In a different way. Viktor will go far, of course.

Professor Isak Borg What do you mean?

Hitch Hiking Sara A doctor earns more money. And ministers are out of date. Though he has got nice legs and a sweet neck. But how *can* anyone believe in God?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Cousin Sara [Last lines] Isak, there are no wild strawberries left. Auntie wants you to look for your Papa. We'll sail around and meet you at the other side of the island.

Professor Isak Borg I can't find either Papa or Mama.

Cousin Sara Come, I'll help you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Cousin Sara Have you looked in the mirror, Isak? Then I'll show you what you look like.

[She holds up a mirror]

Cousin Sara You're a worried old man who's soon going to die, but I have all my life before me. That hurt your feelings, after all.

Professor Isak Borg No, it didn't hurt.

Cousin Sara Yes, it hurt because you can't bear the truth. The truth is that I've been too considerate. And so became unintentionally cruel.

Professor Isak Borg I... understand.

Cousin Sara No, you don't understand. We don't speak the same language. Look in the mirror again. No, don't turn away.

Professor Isak Borg I see.
