Sara • Hitchhiker
- Cousin Sara: [During one of Professor Borg's dreams] As professor emeritus, you ought to know why it hurts. But you don't know. You know so much, and you don't know anything.
- Sara: Good-bye, father Isak. Can't you see you're the one I love? Today, tomorrow and forever
- Isak Borg: I'll keep that in mind
- Anders: Ah, when creation shows so much beauty, how radiant must be the source!
- Hitch Hiking Sara: [to the Professor and Marianne] He is going to be a minister and Anders a doctor.
- Viktor: Reciting poetry is against our agreement not to discuss God or science on the trip.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: It was beautiful.
- Viktor: How can anyone today study to become a minister!
- Anders: Your rationalism is as dry as dust.
- Viktor: I say that modern man...
- Anders: I say that...
- Viktor: Believes in only himself and his biological death.
- Anders: Modern man is a figment of your imagination. Man regards death with horror.
- Viktor: Religion for the people. Opium for the aching limb.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: How *sweet* they both are! I always believe with the one I spoke to last.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: [a man studing to be a minister and another studying science return from a fight] Well, does God exist?
- Cousin Sara: [to Sigfrid, after he's kissed her] I'm so sad! You've hurt me so! You've made a bad woman of me. At any rate, *nearly*. I never want to see you again, at least not before brunch.
- Professor Isak Borg: I lived here once. Two hundred years ago.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: Oh, yeah?
- Professor Isak Borg: Is that your car up at the gate?
- Hitch Hiking Sara: Yes, that's my car.
- Professor Isak Borg: Looks antique.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: Yes, it's antique, like its owner.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: So you have self-irony too. That's fantastic.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: My name's Sara. Silly name, isn't it?
- Professor Isak Borg: My name's Isak. It's silly too.
- Hitch Hiking Sara: Weren't they married?
- Professor Isak Borg: No, unfortunately. That was Abraham and Sara.
- Professor Isak Borg: Which one do you like best?
- Hitch Hiking Sara: I don't know. Anders is going to be a minister - He's a darling.
- [sighs]
- Hitch Hiking Sara: But, a minister's wife - Viktor's nice too. In a different way. Viktor will go far, of course.
- Professor Isak Borg: What do you mean?
- Hitch Hiking Sara: A doctor earns more money. And ministers are out of date. Though he has got nice legs and a sweet neck. But how *can* anyone believe in God?
- Cousin Sara: [Last lines] Isak, there are no wild strawberries left. Auntie wants you to look for your Papa. We'll sail around and meet you at the other side of the island.
- Professor Isak Borg: I can't find either Papa or Mama.
- Cousin Sara: Come, I'll help you.
- Cousin Sara: Have you looked in the mirror, Isak? Then I'll show you what you look like.
- [She holds up a mirror]
- Cousin Sara: You're a worried old man who's soon going to die, but I have all my life before me. That hurt your feelings, after all.
- Professor Isak Borg: No, it didn't hurt.
- Cousin Sara: Yes, it hurt because you can't bear the truth. The truth is that I've been too considerate. And so became unintentionally cruel.
- Professor Isak Borg: I... understand.
- Cousin Sara: No, you don't understand. We don't speak the same language. Look in the mirror again. No, don't turn away.
- Professor Isak Borg: I see.
- Sigfrid Borg: Good morning, sweet cousin. What are you doing?
- Cousin Sara: Picking strawberries, silly. Can't you see?
- Sigfrid Borg: And who shall be favored with these delicious berries picked in the early morn by a lovely young woman?
- Cousin Sara: Nonsense. You know quite well that it's Uncle Aron's name day today. I forgot to make a present. So he'll get a basket of wild strawberries instead.
