1:46:07
May I take your hand?
1:46:14
I remember your hand as a child.
1:46:17
It was small and firm and dry.
1:46:24
And your wrist
was so awfully slender.

1:46:30
I enjoyed being a mother.
1:46:33
I enjoyed being an actress, too,
but I preferred being a mother.

1:46:39
I liked having a big belly,
1:46:42
and I didn't give two shakes
about the theatre then.

1:46:49
It's all acting anyway.
1:46:52
Some roles are nice,
others not so nice.

1:46:55
I played a mother.
1:46:58
I played Juliet and Margareta.
1:47:01
Then suddenly I played a widow
or a grandmother.

1:47:05
One role follows the other.
1:47:08
The thing is
not to shrink from them.

1:47:13
But what became of it all?
1:47:18
Can you tell me that, my boy?
1:47:24
You're a good boy
1:47:26
to listen to your old mother's soliloquies,
as Isak calls them.

1:47:35
Yes, you're a good boy, Oscar...
1:47:41
and I grieved terribly
when you passed away.

1:47:47
That was a strange role to play.
1:47:51
My feelings came
from deep in my body.

1:47:55
Even though I could control them...
1:47:59
they shattered reality,
if you know what I mean.
