00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:30Oh, my God.
01:18The evening star is beautiful.
01:25The nightingale heralds the sweetness of summer.
01:31Sapo wears a flower.
01:34The happy graces look and smile.
01:39God's daughter, I shall be a virgin always.
01:45But Aphrodite's daughter, you cheat mortals.
01:50But my girlhood is in full bloom.
01:55Or is it time now for one so full of grace to shears in the sand, soft near the incoming
02:02sea?
02:15Leave now and come to us waiting, for the couch is most pleasant.
02:19By precincts sacred to you, where incense smokes on the altar and roses adorn thy couch.
02:27Fill the gold cups with love, stirred into sweet nectar.
02:32Will Sappho run?
02:37I sin.
02:41My friend Jeff701.
02:48Speaking of darkness, Hi.
02:49Going to Sacco?
02:50That's where I'm going.
02:51Hop in.
02:53Thanks.
02:57I'm Brigitte Munder.
03:00My name is Sappho.
03:01Sappho Anderson.
03:03Yes.
03:20Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?
03:23Merci.
03:29I'll take it.
03:34Hi.
03:48Oh, it's lovely.
03:51This way.
03:54You know, I've always wanted a home of my own someday.
04:07Sit down and rest yourself, Brigitte.
04:09Thanks.
04:11Where do you live?
04:13That's a good question.
04:15Depends on me getting a job.
04:17I had to break away from home, you know.
04:19Same old problem all of us have.
04:23I hope your parents are home.
04:26Oh, they aren't here.
04:28They're divorced.
04:29Mother used to live here, but when Grandma got sick, she went home to take care of her.
04:34She likes it better there anyway.
04:36We don't get along.
04:37The best story of my life.
04:40What do you do?
04:41I was an apprentice, missus, nurse, looking for a job here.
04:46I'd do anything to pay my very healthy appetite.
04:49Girl for hire.
04:52What do you do?
04:53English translation.
04:56My parents pay pretty good.
04:59My father sends me money, and Mother gave me the house when she left.
05:04Well, I can't thank you enough for the ride and the tea.
05:08You've been really great to help me.
05:11Where are you going?
05:13Wish I knew.
05:15Where will you sleep?
05:17Any parks near here?
05:19Don't you have any money?
05:21Not a bean chum.
05:23Then you're going to sleep here.
05:25Only if I can pay you back when I get a job.
05:28That's the deal.
05:33You can sleep in my mother's room, or in my room.
05:36That is, if you don't mind sharing my bed with me.
05:38I'd love to share your bed with you.
05:45Gee, that sounds kind of suggestive now that you repeat it.
05:48Oh, I say that to all my girlfriends.
05:51You mean, I'm one of your girlfriends now?
05:53You're the only one.
06:01If you were a boy, I just wouldn't look any further.
06:04Gee, I was just going to say something like that myself.
06:08Oh, it's beautiful.
06:11Here's my extra special nightie, just for you to wear.
06:14But I bought my own. It's in the living room of my suitcase.
06:18But I much rather wear yours.
06:21You can wash up and change in the bathroom.
06:23I'll get your suitcase.
06:25Okay.
06:41First thing tomorrow morning, I'm going to the Svanskabad to look for a job.
06:53That I would be doing right now.
06:53Then I got to wash the lines again.
06:58is my sweater!
07:19After every night and night, look.
07:19Check if for a plan.
07:19You're only looking for your Freeman!
07:19Ay, how could I see that?
07:20I have to hit the hay.
07:23Which side do you sleep on when you have guests over?
07:26I've never had a guest over before.
07:29Take either side.
07:31I'm so used to sisters and girlfriends sharing beds.
07:34I didn't think.
07:35Maybe you'd rather I slept in your mother's room.
07:38Oh, no, I'd much rather you stay here.
07:40I get so lonesome here by myself.
07:44I won't bother you.
07:46In ten seconds, nothing will bother me.
07:48I sleep like a log.
07:51Hey, thanks for everything.
07:54And good night.
07:57Sweet dreams.
08:33Now I lay me down to sleep.
08:35I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
08:38If I should die before I wake,
08:41I pray the Lord my soul to take.
08:44God bless mother, father, and grandmother.
08:51and my new friend, Prashit.
08:57Amen.
09:20Are you a bride?
09:24And how?
09:27As the Americans would say.
09:30Oh, I'm not American, I'm half Swedish, half Persian.
09:33I have a letter here for the Brads from my teacher, Doug Bergman.
09:40That's us, the Brads.
09:43We're the only married couple and stuck on that, um, both Brads.
09:53Dear Brads, I've never had a pupil as beautiful as Brigitte Munder.
09:59Who should be standing in front of you as you read this.
10:02And you can see for yourself.
10:06And never was a pupil so adept at the art of Swedish massage.
10:12I recommend her to you, with my love to you both, friendly, Doug.
10:19It's quite a guy, Doug.
10:21And quite a recommendation.
10:23If a letter was from anyone else, I'd require a demonstration.
10:27But, uh, I have an opening.
10:30And you can go to work tomorrow.
10:32In the, uh, men's department, of course.
11:04I've got the greatest news.
11:06Well, I must be awfully great if you can't give me a decent kiss.
11:08I gave you a lovely kiss, and I...
11:10I brought you apples and sardine sandwiches.
11:13Aren't you happy that I'm so happy?
11:15Well, I'm just delighted that my best girl kisses me for one-tenth of a second
11:18with her mouth closed tight as a clam.
11:21Ah, matter of fact, maybe it's a clam that's kissed me.
11:23Oh, so now I'm a clam.
11:25Last time we fought, you thought I was a teen.
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.
11:35Yes, but Adam got something better than a kiss from Eve.
11:39You're not going to start on that again, are you?
11:44No, 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.
11:50Well, that's just the point.
11:52I'm a man, not a boy.
11:53A man gets laid, not teased, like a little boy who gets into the jam jar too often.
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 an intercourse Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, refreshments afterwards.
12:12RSVP?
12:13I don't think you're funny.
12:16I 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 who's going with a girl in this, the 20th century, and not making
12:25love to her.
12:27That's not love you want, that's sex.
12:30Love comes from the heart.
12:32I 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 like I am with the other boys.
12:44But when you start on that, that, that screwing.
12:51Yeah, I know, you hate that word more than the others.
12:54But look, haven't you ever wondered if you were human?
12:57I mean, with human wants, needs, and desires.
13:00Like the other girls who want sex with their love.
13:02Yes, I've wondered.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:23I really love you.
13:25In my fashion.
13:28Yeah, in your chase, antiseptic fashion.
13:31I think I love you because, because you understand my problem.
13:36I thought I did love him.
13:41I needed someone to love so bad.
13:44And Hans before Niels?
13:48Yes, Hans before Niels.
13:51And before Hans Gunner.
13:53Just when I thought I'd found the one that, that, that thing would grow and grow and command me to
14:00tear me apart.
14:01It's like, just like it did my mother.
14:06Just like it did my mother.
14:07Just like it did my mother.
15:31What are you going to do about men?
15:36Forget about those I left at home.
15:39I didn't look for new nice boys here.
15:42There's a masseur at Svenskva that has a thing for me already.
15:47He wants to take me home tomorrow night after work.
15:51I thought we might double date.
15:53Then I could meet your Sven.
15:56He decides to forgive me.
16:00Forgive you for what?
16:02For not letting him make love to me.
16:06Sven says all the guys kid him about going with me.
16:09They call me a tease.
16:11With a word in front of it that's not very nice.
16:16Why 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.
16:25I could love him.
16:26But I get so terrified.
16:32What terrifies you?
16:37Getting pregnant?
16:40I don't really know.
16:43I love it when he kisses me and caresses me.
16:47But when...
16:48I...
16:49I can't even say the words.
16:52I get so frightened I panic and I can't think.
16:56I don't know what to do.
16:58I have no one to talk to.
17:01To ask.
17:06You have now.
17:25You have now.
17:53I'll be right back.

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.
47:49Before there was any thought of sex.
47:51Because you're you.
47:54So lovely, so sweet.
47:58Needing my love, my help, my protection.
48:02I feel wanted and important with you.
48:09But I'd be a damn lie if I told you
48:12I've lost my attraction for a man.
48:15Does that mean you're ACDC?
48:20I don't know.
48:23This is becoming a quiet I don't know session, isn't it?
48:26But I do know at this moment I feel wonderful
48:30being with you.
48:32But if I meet a good-looking iron duck,
48:36I go out with him.
48:38I enjoy him kissing me and caressing him.
48:44And if you pardon some old-fashioned speechifying,
48:48I still expect to marry Mr. Wright.
48:53when he comes charging down the street
48:56in his white sports car.
49:00Then go and raise 10 or 12 children.
49:05I'd like children.
49:08Look,
49:09don't take last night too big.
49:12Kenzie says that most of us have
49:14some homosexual experience
49:17at least once in our lives.
49:19That doesn't make us square.
49:22But
49:23I want to make love to you again.
49:26Maybe we will.
49:28Maybe we won't.
49:30Let's not do anything too hasty.
49:34We're both young.
49:35I have a lot of time.
49:38Last night could have happened
49:40for a big variety of reasons.
49:43Was it bad?
49:44Did we do wrong?
49:46Am I able to want to do it again?
49:49Oh, dear.
49:50Oh, dear horses.
49:53One question at a time.
49:55My name is Brigitte.
49:56Not Solomon.
49:58I don't know the answers.
50:00But I do know
50:01it wasn't bad.
50:03It was good.
50:05You had to get all of that out of you.
50:08Dr. Freud indicated
50:09that only our feelings of guilt were bad.
50:14Don't start feeling guilty.
50:16You make everything seem all right.
50:18I saw Sven last night.
50:21Is he still mad at me?
50:22He still was when I left.
50:25But I thought he'd call you.
50:29But he didn't call.
50:30He couldn't.
50:32Someone knocked the phone
50:33after work last night.
50:35I put it back on this morning.
50:53I'm all mixed up.
50:55This morning when I woke up,
50:57I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.
50:59Just you.
51:01And then I started to think
51:02that you might not be content with just me.
51:06That you wanted men or...
51:08or a man to marry.
51:11I was even scared
51:12that you might want another girl like...
51:14like Luana or Britt.
51:16No chance to go for Luana or Britt.
51:22But, boy...
51:23with all the respect to you, my love.
51:26Well...
51:27it's something else again.
51:29That's why I'm so mixed up, too.
51:31When you mentioned Sven,
51:32I started to feel glad
51:34and then sort of guilty because...
51:37because Sven would think I was...
51:39queer for doing what I did last night.
51:43I guess I love you both in my fashion.
51:46But it's not that antiseptic fashion
51:49of but a few days ago.
51:51Even if I'm all mixed up,
51:52I...
51:53I feel like grew up last night.
51:56That ugliness came to a boil
51:57and broke open and drained out.
52:01But what shall I do?
52:05What you want to do.
52:16Sven!
52:19Yes?
52:20Okay.
52:21This afternoon at the beach?
52:24Okay.
52:28Okay.
52:31Bye.
52:39Raise the skies.
52:41Hoist them higher.
52:43Here comes a man.
52:45Taller than tall.
52:48What, Satho,
52:50can you give one who has everything?
52:53Like Brigitte?
52:55Lament
52:56for the maidenhead.
52:57Like the quince apple
52:59ripening on the top branch
53:01in the tree.
53:03Unharvested.
53:05Unreached.
53:06Then,
53:07like the flower in the hills,
53:09trampled
53:10until the red
53:12stains the snow.
53:14come to yoke,
53:16the pair whose beautiful thick feathered wings
53:19soaring down from heaven
53:21carried you to light swiftly on dark earth.
53:24Then, blissful one,
53:26smiling your immortal smile,
53:28you 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,
53:39I shall put out new pillows
53:41for you to rest upon.
54:11To be continued...
54:13As a whirlwind swoops on an oak.
54:16Love shakes my heart.
54:21Thank you, my dear.
54:23You came.
54:24I needed well to come.
54:26I needed you.
54:27You've made love blaze up in my breast.
54:30Bless you.
54:31Bless you often, as the hours have been endless to me while you were gone.
54:37Of course I love you.
54:39How could I change towards you, who are so beautiful?
54:55Irresistible and bittersweet, that loosener of limbs, love, reptile-like, strikes me down.
55:06Girls ripe to marry, tatter your dresses, batter your breasts, hold up the wine jar, dance.
55:12Yes, but with whom?
55:30Love is God's child.
55:33But it is clear now.
55:35Neither honey nor the honeybee is to be mine again.
55:52This way, that way, I do not know what to do.
55:55I am of two minds.
56:03Run, Saffo, run.
56:21Come night, rain your thick, dark sleep on me, for I shall never come back to you.
56:28No.
56:29No.
56:31No.
56:33No.
56:35No.
56:37No.
