827913 people in this town

Perhaps I should say 827914... but no one cares about me

I'm lonely

They all have someone waiting for them

They all paw each other, it's bloody disgusting

Oh well, maybe I shouldn't say disgusting, I guess I have no right to say such a thing

I'm jealous

I know I'm not the only one who's lonely in this town, I know there are many lonely souls

But I don't know them

Nobody wants me

Nobody cares about me

It's a bit cold, being this lonely

I guess we'll go home to our place

Well, this ramshackle house is my home, far from the city centre

But it doesn't matter to me, I don't have to see it, I sleep in the daytime

I'm a night watchman

There was a man, he never grew up

Even though his shoesize got bigger

All his life, he cried for mother

And played with dolls, with dolls

There was a man, he never became sane

Even though he could write and read in a book

Because something has to be really, really wrong when a grown man plays with dolls

There was a man, he never was happy

Even though he was born in the happiest of towns

He became bitter, like bitter chocolate

If he couldn't play with dolls

There was a man, who acted like a seven-year old

If the doll fell apart, he would too

He would cry and weep "What should I do now?"

"I am not myself without dolls"

Come along mrs and I'll get you some apples

Mr Fredriksson has just been out in the yard

There are so many of them so I don't know how to get rid of them

Feel free to take apples down there, there are lots of them

It was just empty, empty, empty

No one to talk to, no one to smile at, not a single person

No one

And so I dreamed instead

About a woman, of course

I had thought of her for so long, I had dreamt of her so much

So I thought I knew how she looked

Hello, my love

What are you staring at, punk?

What do you want?

Why don't you scram!

Did you hurt yourself?

Police radio?

This is night watchman 137 Lundgren

I'm on Hamngatan 22, there's been a burglary

Yes... Yes, I'll stay. Thanks

- Have they stolen anything? - I don't think so

I arrived while they were still here, so I don't think they got anything

- I mean, eh, I think they might have taken a doll - How do you know that?

I saw it, I saw how he carried it in his arms and ran away with it

Can you give any description?

- Oh, she was beautiful - Beautiful?

- Sorry? - You just said "beautiful"

Oh, I didn't see him, I only saw his back, he ran out into the yard and disappeared

He disappeared that way, I saw him over there. There's nobody left here.

Robert!

What are you doing?

I think my china pigs are thirsty, and they are bored down in the basement, and they can't sleep

I'm sure they are asleep, and you should be too. It isn't morning yet.

Go to bed now!

Ouch, don't do that!

Yes...

This is how I live, it...

It might not be that nice, but when you're... when you're alone...

Would you like to sit down?

Are you comfortable like that?...I hope it's allright that we lay off the titles?

Help!

Hakansson, Hakansson, open the door!

You should have a real beating! Knocking on people's doors in the middle of the night

just to say there are "chopped up corpses" in the basement!

But I saw it down there, in tiny, tiny pieces!

Yeah, sure. And last week you found $20000 in the trash can...

But it's true, there was blood on the wall, and on the stairs, and right there was a hand!

Just you wait! I'll tell your mother!

Well, no harm done, right?

A corpse in the basement

How I behave

But you see, this is how kind I am

You don't regret that you came here, do you?

Does it feel better now?

Was I allowed to do that?

Goodnight

Miss Linde

Good morning Miss Karlback

I have to speak to you about your cats

You see, this doesn't work anymore, they scratch

Would my cats scratch? Never, not my cats

They wouldn't? In any case, yesterday one of them scratched Mr Lundgren.

It must be a mistake, It won't happen again. I'll tell them.

I don't want any cats in my house attacking my tenants!

They understand every word I say to them

You must get rid of your animals!

Animals!?

Mr Lundgren, Good day Mr Lundgren, how is the hand?

- The hand? - Yes - Why?

You heard what I said! You do want to stay, don't you, Miss Linde?

It's "of Linde"!

Wait and you'll see that...

...everything will be fine again

Your beautiful small hands

I bought flowers, here, look

You shouldn't be afraid

You shouldn't be afraid you know

It won't hurt

You're so beautiful

You make me so happy, because you're here

cause I can talk to you, and you listen to me

You have such beautiful hands

so soft, so small, so fine

You don't have to say anything

You shouldn't say anything

You make me so infinitely happy

It's allright, it's allright

It's allright, it's allright, lie still, lie still...

Ouch

There you go

Say, would it be possible to get...

...could I perhaps have... two cookies in a bag?

"Two cookies in a bag"?

One for yourself of course, and one for...

No one

No one?

"Roses on your cheeks and sunshine in your eyes"... (Quote from a Swedish children's song)

...and at five in the morning, on top of it all. He seems to be in love!

Perhaps

So now he's going home to her to eat cookies

I'd like to see what kind of dame you'd want to visit at five in the morning to eat cookies!

It should be a seducer like Lundgren for that

10 cents please. Thank you.

You also like your coffee strong, like me

That's because we have the same taste

Sugar? Two.

Cream?

Excuse me

Have you missed me? Alot?

You see, I came from work as fast as I could

I couldn't just skip it, that wouldn't look good

I have a very important job

I am the one who guards the town

But don't you worry

I just bash their front teeth in if they mess around with me. Cookie?

If there are many of them I take...

Did I scare you?

It's not dangerous, this...

...it's absolutely nothing...

That's... exactly what they think about me...

...that I'm absolutely nothing

Do you know what they would say about us if they saw us together now, they would say I was mad

But I'm not you see, I'm not mad

If only you had been alive

Then we would have shown them

If only you had been alive

If you could move a little

If only you could give me your hand

Give me your hand then!

Give me your hand!

Who told you that you can't do it?

If only I'd had you

I would have been something, I would have made something

More coffee?

You'd never think that I could be something, right?

You'd never think that, would you?

You mustn't tickle me!

Where are those... those curlers

Goddammit!

I'm not that used to doing ladies' hair

You did it pretty good considering you're a barber

Don't laugh at me

There you hear, he's not fully sane

*mumbling*... It's true!

No, stop it!

Mhm, why would I do that?

I clean your room, you fix my hair and then we're even!

Nnnnnope!

It's true! But it's true, it's true, it's true!

Who is he talking to? A girl?

A girl? At his place? Nah...

You have to love me back!

If I have one,

just one that believes in me...

and loves me, then I can...

Then I can change my whole life

I can become anything

I can do... I can do whatever you want

Earn loads of money

I can dress you up in fancy clothes

I can be... whatever you want

I can do what I want to

I have to go down now

Mom will soon be home from work

Goodnight

Mr Strom!

It's the first day of the month today!

I'm sorry miss Karlberg, we'll be there in a minute!

Hey you rascal!

Am I supposed to scrub the stairs all over again just because you can't learn to wipe your shoes off!?

Let go!

Ouch!

Stupid boy!

Should I have to put up with this?

I should have known this when I got married

That I would be scrubbing stairs... after other people's kids

Sorry, mrs Hakansson

A thousand thanks

We've been married for six months today, now we're going to celebrate it

Is that supposed to be a reason to celebrate?

We would have celebrated...

Enter!

And I would certainly appreciate if Mr Strom would remember by himself to pay his rent the first every month

The rent should be payed the first day every month, before noon

Mr Lundgren is an exception. He needs to sleep.

Every year he has payed at exactly four o'clock.

What would you like to have?

I'd like some clothes... ladies' clothes

Is it supposed to be a present?

Well, not exactly that but...

Is the lady old or young?

Young

A nightgown perhaps?

Not really... it should be something that she can wear during the day,

so she can get out of bed

So she can get out of bed?

Yes, exactly. Socks, trousers, a sweater or...

...something like that perhaps

What size should it be?

I don't know

Perhaps my size would be allright?

What colour did my dear gentleman have in mind?

Black, white or maybe pink... isn't this one pretty?

But perhaps you prefer silk to nylon...?

but nylon is more practical indeed

Would you like something with lace...

or perhaps something in this style might fit, what does the gentleman say about this?

You are awake!

You just pretended to sleep

How are you?

Have you slept well?

Fine

thank you

"Fine, thank you"

What a beautiful voice you have

So do you, too

Do I?

Yes

But I sound like a magpie... I look like a sparrow

No. Not at all.

You look like...

Like what?

Like... you should.

Do you really mean that?

Yes. I do.

I was going to buy you clothes, but...

I didn't find any that were nice enough

I would rather have this one

Because it is yours

It smells so good

Just like you

You have to... turn around for a while

Maybe I should...

help

We wont live like this any longer,

I have saved some money so we can change things

But I want it like you have it now

Just like this

I want you

Me?

I want to be here

and get to know you

You will tell me about yourself

About what you have thought

I've thought about you

I will be here between your walls

I will sit in your chair

And I will stand by your window

And I will come home to you after work

Then we will sit by the light

And I will tell you about everything that's happened during the night

Good evening Mr Lundgren, I just thought I would knock to ask you about...

Mr Lundgren hasn't been down with the rent money yet

Oh, that's right

Right, so...

Doesn't Mr Lundgren feel well?

Thanks, I'm fine, thank you

The hostess... she's gone now

She's gone now

Hey, you

Are you scared?

You see, nobody... nobody knows that you're here

Nobody will get to know anything about you

Nobody's going to take you from me, ok?

Will you miss me? Yes?

Oh, I talk so much nonsense, you shouldn't...

You shouldn't bother too much about it

People talk like that when they're happy

Good evening, good evening

Lundgren can move around freely

Others have to keep themselves at home

Morning, noon and evening

Oh, if only one could be able to go out like Lundgren

Out, and away

Excuse me

Do you really know how well you're off?

Living alone, up there

Have you ever thought about why a woman wants a man?

It's not to get a husband, oh no

That's just something she tells you

No, it's a refrigerator she wants, and a TV-set

And expensive carpets on the floor

And if she doesn't get that

what does she do then, do you think?

Then, my friend, she just lies there, without saying a thing

Rigid and stiff like a... like a pike

But... if they get just that?

What do you mean "just that"?

I mean, clothes or...

Or jewellery or furniture or a fur or a car

Why not the moon and the stars? But...

Do I look like someone that could bring down a star?

Oh no, my friend

Oh? So you've been out frivoling until this late?

Will you follow me up to my room for a while?

Okay

Who can that be, coming here in a taxi?

Lundgren

Come

Come, so he doesn't see us

Bah, what does that matter?

I just want to see if he's alone

As usual...

Is something on fire?

What?

Or perhaps someone is waiting for you?

So... how do you like it? Is it beautiful?

Yes, very

I wanted to give you something really beautiful

Just because I'm so afraid of losing you

You won't

I'll give you anything you want

Just tell me what you want

You know what to give me

What should I give you?

You know what I want

What?

You

You, you, you

I have to get back now, you see

To my duties

I'm your duty now

and you are mine

I'll soon be home

Home

If only you knew how I have longed for that word

Home

You know, I just can't believe it!

If you just knew how much I've longed for someone to come home to

Before I found you I was nothing, nothing

But, you know, I knew that one day...

Yes?

The day I found you

I would become a whole person

I would become a real person, do you understand?

If I understand?

You mustn't leave me

But I'm not leaving you, I'll come back

I just have to go to work

You mustn't go

But don't you understand?

You mustn't go!

Don't you understand?

Calm down now, be calm

Lie here and wait for me

You mustn't leave me

Nobody's going to miss you

Nobody but me

Nobody but me

Always?

No matter what happens

No matter what happens

Well, I don't really approve of the tenants borrowing my phone,

but of course when it's about Mr... when it's about illness, naturally... go ahead

Hello! This is night watchman 137 Lundgren

I have to notify my absence because of illness

Well, it's hard to say...

A couple of days perhaps

Yes, I can do that

Yes, thank you

Mr Lundgren was ill after all... just like I thought

It's not that bad, really

But Mr Lundgren you really do not look well

Now you should go to bed

And just tell me if there is anything I can do

It's definitely not necessary

But Mr Lundgren might not be able to get out and buy his own food

*mumbles disapprovingly*

But just... just tell me if you need me

Can I come in?

Mr Lundgren isn't really well

You know what - I thought so yesterday already

How come?

Let's not talk about that

I never talk about my tenants

You should have heard him, he was very kind

He's always been kind to me by the way, the boss

He just said: "Take a couple of days off Mr Lundgren..."

"...you have a job with a lot of responsibility"

"Mr Lundgren is a valuable man for our company", he said

Hey, did you hear that?

"Mr Lundgren is valuable for our company"

Yes, I can see that you are valuable

Well, I have my connections...

With whom?

Aah, you're jealous, my little wildcat

What's so funny about that?

I like when you're jealous, since it is because of...

...of love. It's true.

But then there are others who are jealous because of...

...hate. Evil.

Jealous of me because I am different

People who are ugly and lonely

Ugly, lonely people don't understand anything

It doesn't look like... I haven't forgotten you

My love

Come here

But you know I can't dance

Sure you can, I'll teach you

I've danced with many women

Come on then

One, two, three...

We're pretty good at this

Aren't you going to dance?

Are you afraid of dancing?

And you just told me you've danced with so many beautiful women

But...

What does it matter?

Are you afraid of dancing?

It is you who taught me how to dance

There's a knock - someone's knocking!

Oh, I also know how to knock

I want to get into the world

In amongst the people

Into the world, in amongst the people

Stop it! Stop it! You mustn't behave like this

Come in, come in, come in

Come in all you people

Come in, come in to me, come in

You mustn't, you mustn't!

I love you, I love you, I love you

I don't want to lose you

You mustn't...

I don't understand

Why did you do that?

I don't know

What should we do now?

I don't know

Would you like some coffee?

If... If you just could tell me why

Did I do anything wrong?

D- d-did...did you want them to come in here?

Then everything would be over

Then they would...

...they would take you away from me

Or else they would take me away

No, I think Mr Lundgren has behaved as usual

But it's strange that he doesn't open the door

He said lots of strange things too

Do you think he might...

...have someone else there?

A woman?

Lundgren? A woman in his room?

Nah, never in my life

By the way

He's got the right to have anyone in his room

Hasn't he?

Well, yes

Jealous, are you?

Something is strange here

No. Someone is strange here

Would you please go up and find it out then

But I really don't have any reason to go there

What if he really is sick? Maybe he wants to be alone then

The night watchman has killed himself!

He's gassed himself to death!

Hey, be quiet

You should be ashamed

Well, if he doesn't open for one person

I suppose he won't open for us either

But it really does smell like gas

But he can't...

Lundgren! Lundgren!

That was close

This could have turned out really bad

Oh, I... I was sleeping

I must have fallen asleep

The coffeepot has been boiling over

That's what caused it

How does it feel now?

It can't have been a very long time

It doesn't feel too bad

There's really no reason to worry

Good

I'll open the window so you get some fresh air

Then it'll get better

There's someone lying in the bed

There's a corpse in the bed!

He's killed someone

That's why he turned on the gas!

Get out boy, enough is enough!

But I'm sure he's killed someone!

Shut your mouth now, it's enough! Is that clear?

Get out!

That kid has got corpses on his brain

Corpses and lions and... I don't know what else

I can't understand where he got that from

No...

So it was gas then. What had he done?

It was just the coffeepot

I've seen exactly the same thing happen before

At my aunt's place

I'm sorry

I had to hide you, I couldn't let him see you

Listen to me

Listen when I tell you that...

Please listen

I didn't mean to do anything wrong

It's just that I'm so afraid of losing you

Look at me

Listen to me

I know that I'm a coward

But I will make it up to you

I promise

I will tell them, tell them that you're here

I will show you to them

How could you ever forgive me for being so stupid?

I wanted to keep you for myself but...

E- e- egoist

This can't be a life for you, to be...

I will... I will tell them that you're here

I will show you to them

I will make them jealous

I will show them how beautiful you are

We're going to go out...

We're going to go out right now!

But you can't look like this

You can't go out in these

These clothes...

I have to get you something nice then

A dress

An evening gown

And really, really, really tiny shoes

A coat

A fur. I will get you a fur.

Accidents just don't happen by themselves

If you go out in the street in front of a bus

It's because you really want to get run over

No one wants to get run over

No, I can't believe that he did it on purpose

We really don't know much about each other

I've been living in the same house as Mr Lundgren for six months

And still I haven't noticed anything

I know

What?

I won't say anything, because you don't believe me

But you must admit that he's behaved a bit strange lately

Treading around, talking to himself

He's looked strange too

Maybe he suffers from a serious disease?

I myself will never forget when I got to know...

Maybe he's been trying to hide that he's been deeply depressed

Well, my disease was...

Poor Mr Lundgren

The best and most orderly tenant I ever had

Good evening Mr Lundgren

How are you, Mr Lundgren?

That's the best thing Mr Lundgren can do - go out and get some fresh air

No, I'm going downtown to pick up a fur

Excuse me?

I'm going to pick up a fur

A fur?

Yes. Not for myself of course, but for a lady

My lady, actually, if you allow me

May I please give you my congratulations!

For how long has Mr Lundgren known her?

Always. Always.

But she's only been living with me for a couple of days.

And what is the lady's name, if one may ask?

Oh, I really don't know...

I really must remember to ask her about that

Mrs Karlberg, I... I will do that

Thank you very much Mrs Karlberg, well, eh, goodbye

But this doesn't make sense

That a lady would be living up there with him

That we've never seen

Who's never gone out

I really didn't think that Mr Lundgren had humour

What a pity if it only was a joke

Have you heard if he's come back?

Who?

Lundgren

Oh, Lundgren

Are you going out?

I was thinking about going to the country house for a while

But I'll skip that now when I've got such beautiful company

Haven't you heard the latest?

The latest? What?

First he tried to kill himself with gas

With gas, you say

And then he says he's going to get a fur for a beautiful lady

You've started listening to your kid brother's stories again...

Don't be stupid, I heard it myself

Hakansson had to force the door

I wonder if the lock is broken...

Do you think he's there?

Well, I don't know...

Have you ever seen how he lives?

No.

Come, let's take a look

A mannequin!

Look!

Take that off

Do I dare?

Sure, take it!

It's me!

What do you say? Huh?

You didn't expect that from me, did you?

Perhaps you thought that I'd let you walk around in ugly clothes

So I never could take you out, did you?

Come on now

Come on!

It is not genuine

What are you saying?

It is NOT genuine!

It is fake, just like you are fake

And everything you say is fake

And everything that has to do with you

Is fake, and fake, fake

You mustn't say that

Tell me a single thing about you that's genuine

My love for you is genuine

For me?

Haven't I done all I can for you?

You haven't given me anything

You don't have anything to give

Yourself

Loneliness

Emptyness

Is that something to give?

Is that something to share?

Is that something you should drag me into?

Being here to listen to you

Being here to understand you

But I am here

Tell me - tell me what you've thought about!

Tell me who you are!

What was it that you were going to tell me?

Share your emptiness

Share your loneliness

Thank you

If you didn't have anything else to share...

Answer me

Did you have anything else to give?

Answer me!

Where is... Where's the bracelet?

Where is the bracelet?

Has anyone been here while I was away?

Has anyone been here while I was away!?

Are you the kind of person that invite people while I am away?

I know who it is

Open up!

What have you done while I was away?

Why couldn't you leave her alone?

What the hell!

Give me the bracelet. Give it to me or else!

Come along here

It's just a mannequin, plain and simple!

Don't touch her I say, don't touch her! She's mine!

I've heard and experienced a lot of strange things, but being accused of seducing a mannequin...

I will report you to the police!

No you won't, because then I'll tell them about this

You're going to keep your damned mouth shut about that bracelet

Or they will come and put you in the loony bin, without that little toy!

Don't let him do it, don't let him

Well... we all have our own ideals when it comes to women. I have mine and you have yours

Just keep your mouth shut about mine and I will do the same about yours

Help me then! Help me!

Can you forgive... can you forgive me?

Can you ever forgive me?

Tell me what to do

Tell me what to do

I know what to do

I want to speak to Annie

She's changing clothes, she just came home

I want to speak to her

Annie, Mr Lundgren wants to speak to you

Where's Mr Fredriksson?

I have no idea, I just got home. I haven't seen Mr Fredriksson.

Why would Annie know that?

Because they just...

Mr Lundgren!

The country house, he was just heading there.

Just by chance I met Mr Fredriksson in the stairwell

Oh my...

Say, hello - do you know where Mr Fredriksson lives?

Fredriksson? Just where the light got on right now, that's Fredriksson's cabin

Lundgren?

Why don't you go to the police, Mr Fredriksson? That would be the only right thing.

Yes, well, I would have done that at once, if it wasn't because...

I was thinking about the reputation of this house

And also about you

About me?

You never know what an insane person can come up with

He can come up with the most amazing scandals about us other people in this house

Like what?

If... if the police came into the picture...

What would be the problem then?

He shouted at me that he would kill me because I had been making passes at his woman

And the other women in this house

And I would rather not repeat what he said about you

What did he say about me?

It would be very unpleasant for all of us if his sick fantasies got into for example the newspapers

You know what people use to say: no smoke without a fire

What kind of a woman is it that he loves then?

That's exactly what I want you to see. I want witnesses.

Do you think he's there now?

I'm pretty sure someone is there

SomeTHING

Quiet

I can't remember the words, it was a long, long time ago that I heard this song

Step inside. Please step inside.

Sorry, we didn't mean to

No, not at all!

I have spoken to you about them, right? Now you will get to know them by yourself.

A doll! A stolen mannequin!

A stolen fur

Do you understand what I mean now?

Lying there in front of us with a doll! How can you?

But we're the ones who intruded...

This just isn't right

You shouldn't worry about me - I'm happy

Happy?

Happy with a mannequin?

I love her. She loves me.

Tell them that you love me. Tell them!

Lundgren. Listen to me!

Say something. Say something so they will understand!

Look at me

Say something!

Talk to me! Say something!

Hold me! You must hold me!

Look at me. Why didn't you tell them that it was true?

Why didn't you say anything?

You bitch

You little false whore

False whore!

You have fooled me all of the time

You have fooled... lied to me!

You could have told them that it was true

Not a word, you didn't say a word. Not a single word! Not a single word!

Why?

Because you're a doll. A doll!

A doll without heart

What have I done?

I have... I have killed her

I have killed, killed her...

Why can't a human ever get used to being lonely?

It would be so much better if a person could just accept her unhappiness

So much happier

But no... you'd rather have a doll

A simple, lowdown doll of wax

Than be yourself, and one day realize... that it's perfectly natural

Because everyone is in fact alone, no matter how much they try to pretend they are together

Right?

A doll

Mr Lundgren? Is there nothing we can...?

Where did he go?

I don't know

And I don't know what we can do either

If only we had known him

You thought you had gotten rid of me

You thought you were free now

But you will not get rid of me that easy

You will never get rid of me!

You cannot live without me

I cannot die

without you

There was a boy, he was the doll's friend

Because he gave it both clothes and rings

And if he isn't dead he's probably living still

With dolls and dolls, for dolls

With doll after doll, for dolls

Dolls, dolls, dolls
