01:40God's daughter, I shall be a virgin always.
01:43♪♪
01:46But Aphrodite's daughter, you cheat mortals.
01:49♪♪
01:51But my girlhood is in full bloom.
01:53♪♪
01:56Is it time now for one so full of grace
01:59to shiver in the sand,
02:01soft near the incoming sea?
02:04♪♪
02:08♪♪
02:15Leave now and come to us waiting
02:18where the couch is most pleasant,
02:21by precincts sacred to you,
02:23where incense smokes on the altar
02:25and roses adorn thy couch.
02:28Fill the gold cups with love
02:30stirred into sweet nectar.
02:32Will Sappho run?
02:34♪♪
02:48Hi, going to Sappho?
02:50That's where I'm going.
02:52Hop in.
02:54Thanks.
02:58I'm Brigitte Munder.
03:00My name is Sappho.
03:02Sappho Anderson.
03:04♪♪
03:21Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?
03:23Merci.
03:30I'll take it.
03:31Thank you.
03:35Bye.
03:37Oh, it's lovely.
03:40This way.
03:44You know, I've always wanted a home of my own someday.
03:48Sit down and rest yourself, Brigitte.
03:50Thanks.
03:52Where do you live?
03:54That's a good question.
03:56Depends on me getting a job.
03:58I had to move out.
04:00Oh, I see.
04:02Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
04:04Good night.
04:06Good night.
04:08Good night.
04:10Good night.
04:12Good night.
04:14Good night.
04:16I'm so glad you're getting a job.
04:18I had to break away from home, you know.
04:20Same old problem all of us have.
04:24I hope your parents are not...
04:26Oh, they aren't here.
04:28They're divorced.
04:30Mother used to live here, but when Grandma got sick,
04:32she went home to take care of her.
04:34She likes it better there anyway.
04:36We don't get along.
04:38That's the story of my life.
04:40What do you do?
04:42I was an apprentice in the SuSapp nerd
04:44looking for a job here.
04:46I'd do anything to pay my very healthy appetite.
04:50Girl, for hire.
04:52What do you do?
04:54English translation.
04:56Must pay pretty good.
05:00My father sends me money,
05:02and Mother gave me the house when she left.
05:04Well, I can't thank you enough
05:06for the ride and the tea.
05:08You've been really great to help me.
05:10Where are you going?
05:12Wish I knew.
05:14Where will you sleep?
05:16Any parks near here?
05:18Don't you have any money?
05:20Not a bean job.
05:22Then you're going to sleep here.
05:24Only if I can pay you back when I get a job.
05:26That's a deal.
05:31You can sleep in my mother's room,
05:33or in my room.
05:35That is, if you don't mind sharing my bed with me.
05:37I'd love to share your bed with you.
05:39I'd love to share your bed with you.
05:46Gee, that sounds kind of suggestive
05:48now that you repeat it.
05:50Oh, I say that to all my girlfriends.
05:52You mean I'm one of your girlfriends now?
05:54You're the only one.
06:02If you were a boy, I just wouldn't look any further.
06:04Gee, I was just going to say something like that myself.
06:06Oh, it's beautiful.
06:09Here's my extra special nightie,
06:11just for you to wear.
06:13But I brought my own.
06:15It's in the living room of my suitcase.
06:17But I'd much rather wear yours.
06:20You can wash up and change in the bathroom.
06:22I'll get your suitcase.
06:24Okay.
06:36First thing tomorrow morning,
06:38I'm going to the Svanskabad to look for a job.
07:06I'm pooped.
07:08I have to hit the hay.
07:10Which side do you sleep on
07:12when you have guests over?
07:14I've never had a guest over before.
07:16Take either side.
07:18I'm so used to sisters and girlfriends
07:20sharing beds.
07:22I didn't think maybe I'd ever get a chance
07:24to share a bed with you.
07:26Oh, I'm sorry.
07:28It's all right.
07:30It's all right.
07:32It's all right.
07:34I didn't think.
07:36Maybe you'd rather I slept in your mother's room.
07:38Oh, no, I'd much rather you stayed here.
07:40I get so lonesome here by myself.
07:44I won't bother you.
07:46In ten seconds,
07:48nothing will bother me.
07:50I sleep like a log.
07:52Hey, thanks for everything.
07:54And good night.
07:58Sweet dreams.
08:04Good night.
08:34Now I lay me down to sleep.
08:36I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
08:38If I should die before I wake,
08:40I pray the Lord my soul to take.
08:44God bless mother, father, and grandmother.
08:51And my new friend Brigitte.
08:57Amen.
09:04Good night.
09:20Are you abroad?
09:25And how?
09:27As you Americans would say.
09:29Oh, I'm not American.
09:31I'm half Swedish, half Persian.
09:33I have a letter here for the broads
09:35from my teacher, Doug Bergman.
09:39That's us,
09:41the broads.
09:43We're the only married couple in Stockholm
09:45that are both broads.
09:53Dear broads,
09:55I've never had a pupil as beautiful
09:57as Brigitte Mander,
09:59who should be standing in front of you
10:01as you read this,
10:03and you can see for yourself.
10:05And never was a pupil
10:07so adept at the art
10:09of Swedish massage.
10:11I recommend her to you
10:13with my love to you both.
10:15Friendly,
10:17Doug.
10:19That's quite a guy, Doug.
10:21And quite a recommendation.
10:23If the letter was from anyone else,
10:25I'd require a demonstration.
10:27But I have an opening.
10:29And you can go to work tomorrow
10:31in the...
10:33men's department, of course.
10:56Hi!
10:59Hi!
11:05I've got the greatest news!
11:07Well, it must be awfully great
11:09if you can't give me a decent kiss.
11:11I gave you a lovely kiss and I...
11:13I brought you apples and sardine sandwiches.
11:15Aren't you happy that I'm so happy?
11:17Well, I'm just delighted that my best girl
11:19kisses me for one-tenth of a second
11:21with her mouth closed tight as a clam.
11:23Matter of fact, maybe it's a clam that's kissed me.
11:25Oh, so now I'm a clam.
11:27I'll give you a big kiss as soon as I tell you my lovely news.
11:32As Eve said to Adam, have a bite.
11:34Yes, but Adam got something better
11:36than a kiss from Eve.
11:38You're not going to start on that again, are you?
11:43No, thanks.
11:45I was so happy I didn't need any help to feel good.
11:47I don't know what it is with you boys.
11:49Well, that's just the point.
11:51I'm a man, not a boy.
11:53A man gets laid, not teased,
11:55like a little boy who gets into the jam jar to walk.
11:57Why do you use that terrible word?
11:59Well, there's nothing terrible about it at all.
12:01Would you prefer intercourse?
12:03Would you like an engraved invitation?
12:05Mr. Sven Johansson requests that you attend
12:07an intercourse Saturday afternoon
12:09at one o'clock, refreshments afterwards.
12:11RSVP?
12:13I don't think you're funny.
12:15I know damn well I'm not funny at all.
12:18I must be the most stupid guy in the whole country.
12:21I don't know another friend of mine
12:23who would marry another girl in this,
12:25the 20th century, and not making love to her.
12:27That's not love you want.
12:29That's sex.
12:31Love comes from the heart.
12:33I like you so much, Sven.
12:35I think I'm learning to love you.
12:37I'm happy being with you.
12:39I'm not scared of you
12:41like I am with the other boys.
12:43But when you start on that,
12:45that...
12:49That's screwing.
12:51Yeah, I know.
12:53You hate that word more than the others.
12:55But look, haven't you ever wondered
12:57if you were human?
12:59I mean, with human wants and needs and desires.
13:01Like the other girls who want sex with their love.
13:03Yes.
13:05I've wondered.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:21I really love you.
13:23In my fashion.
13:25Yeah, in your chaste, antiseptic fashion.
13:28I think I love you because...
13:30Because you understand my...
13:32Problem?
13:34I thought I did love him.
13:39I needed someone to love so bad.
13:41And Hans before Niels?
13:45Yes, Hans before Niels.
13:47And before Hans Gunnar.
13:49Just when I thought I'd found the one,
13:51that...
13:53That thing would grow and grow
13:55and come at me to tear me apart!
13:58Just like it did my mother!

15:25Brigitte, are you awake?
15:28Yes, love.
15:31What are you going to do about men?
15:35Forget about those I left at home.
15:38And look for new nice boys here.
15:41There's a monsieur at Svenska
15:44that has a thing for me already.
15:47He wants to take me home tomorrow night after work.
15:51I thought we might double date.
15:54Then I could meet your Sven.
15:56He decides to forgive me.
16:00Forgive you for what?
16:03For not letting him make love to me.
16:06Sven says all the guys kid him about going with me.
16:10They call me a tease
16:12with a word in front of it that's not very nice.
16:15Why don't you let him go play in traffic?
16:19I couldn't do that.
16:21Besides, I really like Sven.
16:23I think I love him. I could love him.
16:27But I get so terrified.
16:32What terrifies you?
16:37Getting pregnant?
16:40I don't really know.
16:42I love it when he kisses me and caresses me.
16:46But when...
16:48I can't even say the words.
16:51I get so frightened I panic and I can't think.
16:55I don't know what to do.
16:57I have no one to talk to.
17:00To ask.
17:05You have now.
17:12You have now.
17:42You have now.
18:12You have now.
18:16You have now.
18:20You have now.
18:23You have now.
18:42You have now.
19:06Out!
19:12Me too?
19:14You too!
19:28I appreciate you, wonderful.
19:30You're wonderful.
19:33Welcome home.
19:36Welcome home.
19:38Welcome home.
19:56That's the shower.
19:58Oh, I just love a nice warm shower.
20:01Then icy cold.
20:08You're beautiful outside too.
20:12Yeah.
20:16Woo!
20:19Here comes Lizzie.
20:23Come on, Lizzie.
20:26Come on, Lizzie.
20:29Come on, Lizzie.
20:32Come on, Lizzie.
20:35Come on, Lizzie.
20:38Come on, Lizzie.
21:05I lied to you.
21:07About what?
21:09About...
21:10Glenn, did you do it more than once?
21:12I had it done to me more than once.
21:37Out!
21:56Out!
22:01If you open your mouth,
22:05six inches of steel in your belly.
22:21That's a good girl.
22:31Now just pull over to the side of the street.
22:35Get your finger off of her.
22:37Push her.
22:38Push her.
22:40Now you hear what I hear?
22:43Now you hear what I hear.
22:45Now you can't do this.
22:47What's a young man's name?
22:50How could you call her a young man?
22:52How could you?
22:54Look at the way she looks at you.
22:56And what a man lays his hand on you.
22:59How could you?
23:00How could you do this, a young man?
23:02How could you?

37:04What was that scene all about?
37:06Did you invite them?
37:07Why did they come here?
37:08What were they going to do to me?
37:10I didn't invite them, honey.
37:12Don't honey me.
37:13Are you one of them?
37:15I don't like them anymore than you do.
37:17You think I framed you?
37:19I don't know.
37:20I'm frightened.
37:21I lost them.
37:23My friend, take care of me.
37:25I'm scared of you too now.
37:27All right, then I leave.
37:53Brigitte!
38:07Brigitte!
38:10Where will you go?
38:12I don't know.
38:14You don't have to go.
38:16I know I'm frightening you.
38:18I guess I shouldn't be frightening you.
38:20I know I'm frightening you.
38:22I guess I shouldn't be frightened of everything.
38:24Particularly you.
38:27But I am.
38:29Help me.
38:31Please help me.
38:33Oh, it's you.
39:03What do you want?
39:04My new girl?
39:08I should be smacking you, not you me.
39:11What goes with you?
39:13What goes with you?
39:15Just because you walk in on your best girl
39:17when some disturbable people are trying to get rid of business
39:21instead of helping her.
39:23You give her more trouble.
39:25You've got to have her in the house.
39:27Come on, don't give me that garbage.
39:29What are you shacking up with her for?
39:32Why are you so mad?
39:41Look, if you're going to hit me again,
39:42you might as well come in and fall on something comfortable.
39:57Look, you know Cycle longer than I do.
40:00And you must know that she's just a sweet, innocent child
40:04that's never grown up, never had any experience of any kind,
40:09who is terrified of any man's maleness.
40:13But not of a girl's femaleness.
40:18You're not being fair.
40:20Not being fair to who?
40:22To yourself.
40:41I don't get it.
40:43You claim that you're really in love with Sappho
40:46and you really don't want to just make the change.
40:50The fulfillment of your love for Sappho can only come
40:53when you realize that you're basically starved for love,
40:57but terrified of the consummation of that love.
41:01Well, she's terrified of consummation with you.
41:06Her mother gave her the right name.
41:11Here comes eight inches of joy.
41:22She's not terrified of me because she knows I'll never hurt her.
41:27Don't bother showing me how.
41:32When you grew up, Buster, you can't call your best girl.
41:36I apologize.
41:41If it's not too late.
42:07No!
42:11No!
42:36No!
42:41No!
42:43No!
42:44No!
42:45No!
42:46No!
42:47No!
42:48No!
42:49No!
43:16Are you all right?
43:19You bastard!
44:09You bastard!
44:29You bastard!
44:49You bastard!
45:17You bastard!
45:27You bastard!
45:47You bastard!
46:16Good morning, sweetheart.
46:19How do you feel?
46:20Good morning.
46:21I feel marvelous.
46:24Oh, why don't you like service?
46:27You took a beating last night.
46:29I'd almost forgotten.
46:31So you feel all right?
46:33A little stiff and sore in places,
46:35but I feel really alive for the first time.
46:39Am I a lesbian?
46:41I don't know.
46:45Dr. Kraft-Evans believes
46:47that all of us have some element of homosexuality within us.
46:52Latent and without our knowledge,
46:55or overt,
46:56I don't think you're a lesbian,
46:58as the world would view it,
47:00a girl that only wants girls.
47:03But I don't know.
47:07Do you know?
47:09I know I wouldn't touch the wall of grit with a ten-foot pole.
47:13But I know I love you with all my heart.
47:16Where does that put me?
47:17This morning,
47:19I guess I'm the substitute for your first male lover.
47:24They say you never love again,
47:27like you loved first.
47:29How do you feel about me?
47:33All mixed up to tell the truth.
47:36And we must tell one another the truth.
47:40I never thought I'd make love with a girl.
47:43Till it happened.
47:45Of course, I loved you before.
47:48Before there was any thought of sex.
47:51Because you're you.
47:54So lovely.
47:56So sweet.
47:58Needing my love, my help, my protection.
48:02I feel wanted and important with you.
48:09But I'd be a dumb liar if I told you
48:12I've lost my attraction for men.
48:15Does that mean you're ACDC?
48:20I don't know.
48:23This is becoming a quite I don't know session, isn't it?
48:26But I do know,
48:28at this moment I feel wonderful being with you.
48:32But if I met a good-looking guy like that,
48:36I'd go out with him.
48:38I enjoy him kissing me and caressing him.
48:43And if he pardoned some old-fashioned speech you find,
48:48I'd still expect to marry Mr. Right.
48:52When he comes charging down the street
48:56in his white sports car,
48:59then go and raise 10 or 12 children.
49:04I'd like children.
49:07Look, don't take last night too big.
49:12Kenzie says that most of us have some homosexual experience
49:16at least once in our lives.
49:19That doesn't make us queer.
49:22But I want to make love to you again.
49:26Maybe we will.
49:28Maybe we won't.
49:30Let's not do anything too hasty.
49:33We're both young.
49:35Have a lot of time.
49:38Last night could have happened for a big variety of reasons.
49:42Was it bad?
49:44Did we do wrong?
49:46Am I able to want to do it again?
49:48Oh, yeah.
49:50Oh, yeah, of course.
49:52One question at a time.
49:54My name is Brigitte, not Solomon.
49:58I don't know the answers.
50:00But I do know it wasn't bad.
50:03It was good.
50:05You had to get all of that out of you.
50:08Dr. Freud indicated
50:10that only our feelings of guilt were bad.
50:14Don't start feeling guilty.
50:16You make everything seem all right.
50:18I felt a smell last night.
50:21Is he still mad at me?
50:23He still was when I left.
50:25But I thought he'd call you.
50:29He didn't call.
50:30He couldn't.
50:32Someone knocked the phone off the hook last night.
50:34I put it back on this morning.
50:53I'm all mixed up.
50:55This morning when I woke up,
50:57I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with you.
50:59Just you.
51:01And then I started to think
51:03that you might not be content with just me.
51:06That you wanted men or a man to marry.
51:11I was even scared that you might want another girl
51:13like Luana or Britt.
51:16No chance I'd go for Luana or Britt.
51:20But, boys,
51:23with all respect to you, my love,
51:27it's the same thing else again.
51:29That's why I'm so mixed up, too.
51:31When you mentioned Sven, I started to feel glad
51:34and then sort of guilty because...
51:37because Sven would think I was queer
51:39for doing what I did last night.
51:43I guess I love you both in my fashion.
51:46But it's not that antiseptic fashion I put a few days ago.
51:51Even if I'm all mixed up, I...
51:53I feel I grew up last night.
51:55That ugliness came to a boil and broke open and drained out.
52:01But what shall I do?
52:05What you want to do.
52:09Phone rings
52:15Sven!
52:18Yes?
52:19Okay.
52:21This afternoon, at the beach?
52:24Okay.
52:28Okay.
52:32Bye.
52:39Raise the skies.
52:41Hoist them higher.
52:43Here comes a man.
52:45Taller than tall.
52:49What, Sappho, can you give one who has everything?
52:53Like Brigitte?
52:55Lament for the maidenhead.
52:58Like the quince apple,
53:00ripening on the top branch in the tree.
53:03Unharvested.
53:05Unreached.
53:06Then, like the flower in the hills,
53:09trampled until the red stains the snow.
53:15Come to yoke,
53:16the pair whose beautiful thick feathered wings,
53:19soaring down from heaven,
53:21carried you to light swiftly on dark earth.
53:25Then, blissful one,
53:26smiling your immortal smile, you asked,
53:30what was it that my distracted heart most wanted?
53:34Whom has persuasion to bring round now to your love?
53:38If you will come,
53:40I shall put out new pillows
53:42for you to rest upon.
53:55Without warning, as a whirlwind swoops on an oak,
53:58love shakes my heart.
54:03Thank you, my dear.
54:05You came.
54:06And I thank you.
54:08I thank you.
54:09I thank you.
54:11I thank you.
54:13I thank you.
54:15I thank you.
54:16I thank you.
54:18I thank you.
54:19I thank you.
54:21I thank you.
54:22I thank you.
54:24I find your attention most charming.
54:27I need it well to come.
54:29I needed you.
54:31You've made love blaze up in my breast.
54:33Bless you.
54:35Bless you often,
54:36as the hours have been endless to me
54:38while you were gone.
54:40Of course I love you.
54:43How could I change towards you,
54:45who are so beautiful?
54:54Irresistible and bittersweet, that loosener of limbs,
54:57love, reptile-like, strikes me down.
55:05Girls ripe to marry, tatter your dresses, batter your breasts,
55:09hold up the wine jar, dance, but with whom?
55:25Love is God's child, but it is clear now,
55:29neither honey nor the honeybees to be mine again.
55:44This way, that way, I don't know, I don't know,
55:48I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
55:53This way, that way, I do not know what to do, I am of two minds.
56:03Run, Sappho, run, the dancing will not be.
56:08Come, night, rain your thick, dark sleep on me,
56:13for I shall never come back to you.
