No, it's true that priests are behind

many of the horrors of war.

The priests and the military

lead the workers to the slaughter.

But they wouldn't dare

to be in the way.

If I weren't a free anarchist,

I'd have all priests killed.

But I'm against

all forms of bloodshed.

Not a man, not a penny

to the military.

And you have to convince them

with arguments.

But what if they

don't move out of the way?

When people are pouring forth,

then no priests can resist.

Theoretically.

When I was drinking,

I sometimes believed in violence.

Now I see everything differently.

Your mind has to be clear.

Now I don't smoke or drink.

I've passed that stage.

I just use coffee and women.

All the women I've met...

-What about them?

-I haven't left any untouched.

I've had a few, both in Norway

and here. Some fine ladies.

I don't go to whores,

but have a steady girl in every town.

Regularly, in an orderly fashion.

For the body's sake.

But I avoid getting anyone pregnant.

One takes one's responsibility.

Miss! Can I pay?

The modern problem

is a problem of communication.

After the revolution, there

won't be any problems like that.

Oh, Maria!

In America, they pull a Browning

and shoot them down at once.

And in Latin America, they throw

a knife through the throat.

-I saw on a boat...

-Shut up!

Maria is no good.

Everyone's been with her.

Everyone's sick of her.

I could have had her.

If you've only said something.

I'm going for a coffee or a swim.

You have to have some pleasure.

Have you read about

Danko's burning heart?

-No.

-Me neither, but I've heard about it.

It's by Gorky, or someone.

It's supposed to be good.

Someone who uses his heart

as a light for humanity.

It must be sticky

to hold it in your hand!

Hey! About Danko's burning heart.

It's symbolic.

Danko wants to sacrifice himself

for mankind,

and shine a light

onto the right path.

A bit like Prometheus who

wanted to get the fire and the truth.

No, he rolled a rock.

That was Sisyphus.

It's symbolic, that thing with Danko.

But it came from his drinking.

If a man tears his symbolic heart

from his symbolic breast,

and holds it up like a torch,

then he's drunk.

You can bet that

it comes from drinking.

Even if it's wine.

Everyone who has read and thought

that struggle, organisations, the

economic and historical development

give things their context.

-Your mind has to be clear.

-I'd love a swim.

If only Maria was here now.

You're growing.

You're getting good food?

Be careful with your clothes.

-Are you staying on there?

-We'll see.

Don't travel too far

if you're leaving.

And look out for scoundrels.

And watch out for alcohol.

You haven't tried, have you?
