Quotes 

  • Peter Egermann : I dreamt I was sleeping. I dreamt I was dreaming. Everything was very sensual. Not just erotic. But meaningfully drawing my loins to a nice, strong scent of a woman's moisture, perspiration, saliva, fresh-smelling thick hair. I moved, eyes shut, over a shining broad surface. All was still. I was absolutely content and had a strange need to tell a funny story; but couldn't speak - which didn't bother me in the least. On the contrary, I felt this gliding had to do with my dumbness and that my brain was focused on my hands. Even my fingertips. Each finger had a little eye registering all the glittering surfaces and gliding itself. It was fine. It could stay that way. I thought or rather, I didn't think at all. A colorful ribbon floated out of my lips: If you are my death; welcome, my death. If you are my life; welcome, my life.

  • Peter Egermann : [Opening line]  I'm tired.

  • Peter Egermann : I'd like to tell you what's on my mind. Everyone has worries, no? Mine is rather special. That's why I'm here. You think I talk a lot. True. I hesitate to speak. As long as I don't say it, it's just a dream. Saying it, will make it real.

  • Professor Mogens Jensen : You have so little respect for your fear.

    Peter Egermann : Give me something to calm me?

    Professor Mogens Jensen : Go out for walks. It does wonders for depression and grim thoughts. Then drink coffee or cognac. You'll feel better.

  • Peter Egermann : I see her moving in the bathroom, flooded by sunlight. She combs her hair. I've always enjoyed watching my wife. Even when we hated each other or when she was hateful, drunk, sick or angry. I've always enjoyed her movement, her scent, her presence.

  • Peter Egermann : I dreamt that I awoke from deepest slumber. I lay on the floor that was as soft as a thick carpet. I felt warm and content. Katarina lay beside me motionless, sleeping. I knew immediately that it was all a dream. I told myself I shouldn't be afraid and that the only danger was fear itself to be panic-striken and try to escape, to weep or scream or strike at the walls. I decided to stay calm. Katarina woke up slowly. I tried to speak to her, but couldn't reach her. She acted as though I wasn't there. She was soft and stimulatingly indifferent. I wanted to make love. But she avoided me and I couldn't enter her. She looked at me with half-shut eyes and smiled.

  • Peter Egermann : There was a tender moment. Perfect silence. It's hard to describe that moment. The air changed. It was mild and easy to breathe. Grey light gave way to a misty dawn. That touched our wounded hearts. We faced each other in a sudden burst of closeness. Then came the horror.

  • Peter Egermann : We like our pleasure or perhaps each other's, I don't know. The best was cheating on each other. I use the word cheating, but it's wrong. It's morally derogatory. And we aren't. "Mutual sexual freedom," it's called.

  • Peter Egermann : I must stay calm, not fearful. Controlled, not unpredictable. All went wrong.

  • Katarina Krafft : Something's wrong?

    Peter Egermann : Something's nice.

  • Peter Egermann : No exit.

    Katarina Krafft : Why do you say such strange stuff?
