Possession

You can't just say you don't know,

that's what you said on the phone.

When will you know?

I don't know.

Do you want me to spend the night

somewhere else? In a hotel, or something?

Do you want us to... meet later on,

we could talk more calmly, do you...

Do you need more time?

What, what do you need?

What has happened? -Bob knows

that you are coming back today.

Well, I can...

I can pick him up after school and

take him... to the zoo, or something.

Come and admire him.

Maybe all couples go

through this. -Yeah.

One mustn't be afraid.

-No.

One must speak honestly.

-Is it difficult?

Is it difficult?

I haven't been much help, but I

finished that job now, it's over.

Maybe I was asking for too much.

I was the one who had the right to ask.

I know!

-No you don't.

Who was I doing it for, after all?

Were you unfaithful to me?

The truth is, not really. Were you?

There's always someone else when

these things happen. -Not in this case.

Alright, well... What's

happened to us is just...

is just natural, feelings... change.

But without you I wouldn't

feel anything at all.

What do you feel now?

Are you really interested?

No.

There you are, you see, it's the same

with me. I don't even want you now.

What time did you meet him?

-Eight thirty.

Where?

-In the park.

Was he willing?

-Yes, verbally.

Did you sense or detect weariness in him?

No, a correct appraisal of the realities.

Is it making him bitter?

-No, greedy.

But you felt his power.

-You mean, did I feel fear?

No, because that would have prevented

me answering all your questions.

How many vials did he

take with him? -Two.

What procedure have you

devised for contacting him again?

It's all in my report.

I suggest it's more economical

to fill in my successor.

We don't feel there's a

need for a successor.

I've completed my job.

-Brilliantly.

That's why we want to rehire you.

It's out of the question.

And what would be the

reason for your refusal? -Family.

Oh, couldn't we be of

some help there? -No.

Wouldn't it be advisable for you to

reconsider? -I'm unable to do that.

Would you be unable for a long time?

-I hope not.

Aren't you allowing feelings to prevent

you from answering your own questions?

Exactly why I advise you

to hire my successor.

Good, any questions?

Does our subject still wear pink socks?

Anna?

It's me.

-Anna?

I am downtown.

Well, why downtown?

I've been waiting all day.

I need some time to think.

-What do you mean, to think.

Think about what?

-To think about me!

Well, where are you,

when will you...

Hello?

-Margit, this is Mark.

Now, I know there's no sympathy

between us, and it's, uh,

hard for me to ask you for help, but...

you're her only friend.

Now, just tell me the truth.

She has somebody?

-She wished you'd say or do something.

Something to reinstall you.

You know, a magic wave of the wand.

You arrived sooner than expected, Mark.

Yeah, sure, this is all my fault.

Now, how long has this been going on?

Quite long.

-Who is he? -Oh, Mark!

I don't... Your wife

keeps her own secrets.

Margit.

I don't have a magic wand,

I don't intend to hang on.

But make her talk to me, it'll

be the way that she wants.

But this is not ...

proper. Please.

Yes?

-We're over, Mark.

You have someone.

-Yes.

For a long time?

-Does it matter?

Yes!

-Yes.

Do you... sleep with him?

-Yes.

Do you like it?

-Yes.

More than with me?

-Yes.

I see.

How do you intend to live now?

-We have to discuss it.

Now.

-As you want.

Half an hour, at the Cafe Einstein.

I'm too far for half an hour.

You calling from there?
