David (Gunnar Björnstrand) Virility means more than health.

Martin (Max Von Sydow) If Hemingway could, we can. Let's go!

Minus I'm an artist.

Karin (Harriet Andersson) Artist?

Minus Yes, Princess, a thoroughbred artist: a poet with no poems, a painter with no pictures, a musician with no music. I despise ready-made art, the banal result of vulgar effort. My life is my work and dedicated to my love for you.
Karin Funny, you always say and do the very right thing--and it's always wrong.
David We draw a magic circle and shut out everything that doesn't agree with our secret games. Each time life breaks the circle, the games turn grey and ridiculous. Then we draw a new circle and build a new defense.

Karin Poor little daddy.

David Yes, poor little daddy, forced to live in reality.

You are the th visitor since 4/16/98.
