The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Predikan - full transcript

Calle is the future.

I know when the curtain has closed.
Goodbye.

It's a disaster with the dishwasher.

- Who is their spokesperson?
- Angelo.

It's this impulse that I can't avoid.
I try to resist, but I can't
control me.

- Are you very depressed?
- A lot.

Then we could evaluate the electro shock.

Gustaf!

- What have you done to him?
- Nothing. We gave him a sedative.

Britt Gahn asked me to work as her secretary.

- I have decided to accept.
- When do you start?



Styrbjörn Hansen. We have an idea
for a TV program.

- Watch your fingers. You only have ten.
- Here's the program. The two of them together.

- We recorded losses.
- Do you want us to pay for the days that were in the red?

Nina will take charge of the club.
Oscarshof must stop competing.

- Let me come to Paris.
- Don't leave me, let's try to solve it.

It's for Dad.

Five years later
1962

Ready ... let's get started!

- A truly delicious flavor.
- I am pleased to.

Go out and buy a nice big chicken and try to cook it like this.

Oh, the programming director.

Today we celebrate the 50th episode of "My Husband the Chef".

- We have to toast, of course.
- Thanks. It can be said that It has really become a keeper.
slow.

Health! See you next week for the last episode of the season.



Thanks! Perfect.

Miss Molin of the Journalen
wants to ask you some questions.

Yes, a question to Mrs. Löwander ...

- Hi, can we ask for an autograph?
- Sure.

Thanks a lot.

- Hey, are you from the Kar de Mumma review?
- Yes.

- What happens on Thursday?
- Kar de Mumma review.

Quite right...

- We'll go there?
- No, not me. I can't.

No?

They asked how long we'll continue.

- You said "as long as it's fun".
- Yes I know.

- 50 episodes is enough for me.
- You already said that.

I'm sick of always answering the same questions from the same idiotic journalists.

- Not you?
- Yes, but I'm doing it for the restaurant.

Believe what you want, but that's why I'm doing this.

- Won't you come on Thursday?
- No.

Episode 18
The sermon

A memory on election day.

Herbert Söderström designed it
for a long time.

It all starts with Mina and Mona ...

the two electronic computers
which since 1960 have given to the communists ...

- Do you think dad will come home?
- No.

What's going on over there?

Nothing? Impossible, you were whispering.

Anitha, tell me.

Karin wants to know if dad will come home for his birthday.

- We'll see.
- Can't you ask him?

No. There is no phone where he is.

Suzanne Goldstein
speaks to Genoa

Hurry up or you'll be late for school.

Come.

The People's Party calls for justice for
women

- Found anything new?
- Yes this.

Justice for women?

They speak of reforms, but at the same time
they want to lower taxes.

They are better than us at raising issues.

What do you know about Carl Gustaf Wallin?
We have a debate today.

- Weren't you supposed to debate Almström?
- No, it will be with Wallin.

Wallin is more transparent.

Yes, but he is weak in Norrmalm *.
(* Stockholm district)

Heard of that fire in the Casa del Popolo?
A lot of damage?

- Can't we have events there anymore?
- I don't think so.

Where will we meet then?

- How's it going with the appetizers?
- Two appetizers.

Two appetizers at the counter!

- Something wrong?
- Complaint from a customer.

Oh, damn it.

- Overcooked fish. Salty sauce.
- Fish is not bad at all.

Look, perfect.

- Lemon badly cut.
- Badly cut?

- He was very upset.
- I'm going to talk to him.

- Here's the chef.
- Any problems with the dishes?

I screwed you, little shit!

- Chef Backe.
- Retired, you can tell.

- Look good, you're tanned.
- Yes. Majorca.

Welcome back.

- Was the fish overcooked?
- No! It was delicious.

- This is Gunnel.
- Carl Svensson.

I taught him everything I know.

And so it took a long time.
Bring that plate back to me.

With pleasure. Enjoy your meal.

- Council Secretary Nilsson!
- How are you?

I can't complain.

- Hi. Sorry for the interruption.
- Margareta!

- Good morning. How are you?
- Well and you?

- I didn't mean to interrupt you.
- Not a problem.

The Casa del Popolo has burned down.
We can no longer hold the election vigil there.

So we are looking for a new place.

- So I thought about the DK.
- Good!

I know it's on short notice ...

I need to talk to the family about it.
You know all about that.

Yeah.

We're also looking at other places, so we need an answer soon.

- Absolutely, I'll get right on it.
- Prime Minister Erlander would be happy with it.

I will be hearing from you?
- Yes.

Margareta ... okay.

- Sure?
- Yes, absolutely.

- We will welcome you at 4pm.
- Thanks.

- It's not possible. We already have a reservation for that night
- How many people?

For 75, the Association of Doctors.

But it's a meeting of the Social Democrats
for elections.

We can't disappoint
the Association of Doctors.

But I've already said yes to Margareta.

Nina, but man ...

This opportunity must be grabbed.
Somehow we will.

Talk to Esther.

- Come on! Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah!

You will wonder why you have to come.
Because God wants to crush your pride.

Be humble in front of him.
Welcome it. Amen.

God is on your side.

God and the Holy Spirit are here with you.
And many of you feel it.

Hallelujah!

The Spirit of God moves in you.
Thanks to his glory and his peace.

God...

Touch me.

Come into me. Amen.

We raise our hands to the sky,
let's close our eyes!

And let's look at his face
that turns to us!

- Open yourselves to God and his Spirit, Alleluja!
- Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

- Thank you for the wonderful sermon.
- God was with us.

- Herman.
- Gustaf.

- Astrid. He is Mårten.
- Hello, Mårten.

How did it seem to you?
Too much noise?

- Have you been with us for a long time?
- It was my wife who brought us here.

- I have kept my faith since childhood.
- I didn't think about it much.

I have lived a long life in sin
and I was very unhappy.

- But Jesus found me.
- We are all sinners.

- You said something very right.
- What?

Jesus found me, I didn't "find Jesus".

- Well, thanks for coming. See you soon.
- Thanks.

Poppie.

- Poppie.
- Hi, honey.

Sleep, see you in the morning.

Sweet dreams.

Thanks.

You don't know how good it is to come home.

It's not wrong to long for each other.

How often will you be away for military reserve training?

- Do you want me to go away again?
- No. This time I'm not letting you go anymore.

- How are the girls doing?
- Good. They behave themselves most of the time.

Karin will be happy to see that you're here for her birthday.

Me too.

She wonders why you have to do the training
since war is a bad thing.

And Anitha tells her:"If you train
to become good in war,

no one will dare to declare war on us. "
Karin has been playing war all week.

Have you seen Stickan?

- Stickan? No, why?
- Calle saw him yesterday.

- Really? Where?
- At the restaurant.

- He was with a woman.
- A woman? And who was she?

I do not know. Calle said she was beautiful.

I don't know, mom. Maybe Stickan has regained his youth.

- Good morning mom.
- Good morning.

- You're back?
- Recently.

- You are welcome.
- Thanks.

- Did you want to tell us something?
- Yes. Margareta Nilsson came here yesterday.

The Social Democrats have no place
to meet on election night,

that's why they'd like to meet here.

- But we have the Doctors' Association.
- Yes, but I told her yes.

What?

That would be Ester's responsibility. You couldn't
make this decision yourself.

- Our political elite want to come to us.
- What's that got to do with it?

I understand your point of view,

but sometimes you have to make
decisions quickly.

Who is responsible for informing
the Medical Association, me or you?

- I'll handle that.
- Good.

That was realy disrespectful!

- You're right.
- And it's getting worse!

And Helga is always on her side!

- The Social Democrats will come.
- I see.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't support you.

- How many will it be?
- About 130.

Good. Then I can't be at the studio for the taping of the latest episode of the program.

- No...
- No, I have to give priority to the restaurant.

Hi, Helga.

- Have you made up your mind to come now?
- What?

You greeted all the restaurant staff, but not me.

I ... I'm glad to see you.
You look good.

- What did you do with your lady?
- Mrs?

- Are you referring to Gunnel?
- Oh, that's her name?

I had such a surge as soon as I saw her.

- It was like a blow to the head.
- What a bad way to describe it.

Imagine meeting your soul mate
in the autumn of your life.

Twin souls? Thank you, Hjördis.

Anyway ... the last time I saw her
I got down on my knees and told her:

"Gunnel, will you marry me?"

And imagine ... she said yes.

You would marry a person you met a week ago?

- Well, aren't you happy for me?
- I...

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

Sorry.

- Angelo!
- It's gorgeous.

But we can't afford it,
we said we'd wait.

But look, it's very elegant,
the chrome mirrors, and very safe.

- I don't question that, but we can't
afford it. - I'll work overtime.

- I don't believe it!
- I will.

- Swear.
- I swear.

Now ... can I have the honor?

- It's gorgeous.
- I know. This is the best on the market.

Maybe not quite the best,
but the best for us.

Look how beautiful!

Good day. Am I interrupting?
- Ragnarsson. Long time no see.

Missed me?

How are you?
- These are good times. I hope for you too.

Henriksdal is now yours too, huh? Next to Oscarshof.

- How can I help you?
- I say like Kennedy:

Don't ask what the restaurant can do for you,

but what you can do for the restaurant.

I can help you with the dishwashers.
There are a lot of Yugoslavs.

I already have the dishwashers.

Good. Do you have someone who helps you with hiring?

- Yes sure. Mirko Kostelic.
- Who the fuck is that?

He takes care of all the paperwork. Cooperates
very well with the union.

- That sounds expensive..
- It costs what it costs.

But for the Henriksdal, or the Oscarshof,
don't you have empty positions?

I'm sorry, Curt.
Times have changed.

Yes, I hear you.

All right. Good job.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Nice car. It's new?
- Yes.

- Can a waiter afford it?
- I'm maitre d' now.

Maitre even?

- Congratulations.
- Thanks. I have to go to work.

Then you need help with the sandwiches.

I have a couple of guys who can do it.
Great workers.

- Thanks, but we're already full.
- Angelo, listen to me!

You fucked me and it's your fault
I lost a mountain of money!

So find me work for the boys,
or you pay me back. Clear?!

- Hi. Going away?
- Yes, a little trip.

Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life.
Bless our daily bread.

Welcome our family, our friends
and our fellow men in your love.

Thanks for showing your lamb
the right path, towards the family.

Everyone looks to you, Lord.
And you feed them at the right time.

- Feed everyone who is hungry.
- Speaking of hunger ...

- We appreciate you, God the Father and thank you ...
- Gustaf, it's getting cold.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Help yourself, Magnus.
- Thanks.

- Does it bother you, Magnus?
- What?

- Prayer, the fact that we are Pentecostals.
- Poppie.

I'm just curious what
Magnus thinks of faith and God.

You don't have to answer now,
you can think about it calmly.

- It looks really good.
- Thanks.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

First I need to give you a little info
on the debate with Wallin. Are you free now?

You couldn't have chosen a better time.

- Are you hungry? Shall we eat something?
- I'm not very hungry. You?

Yes, quite hungry.

Is anyone there?

I'm here! I'll be right there.

- Will he come in here?
- No.

Shouldn't we get dressed?

- He's seen me naked before.
- But not me.

- Maggan! What are you doing here?
- We did some pre-debate practice.

Good.
Who took the part of Wallin?

Maggan did. I don't like playing men, but Maggan is good at it.

But really, it's the arguments that matter, not which gender they're coming from.

Is the debate tonight?

- Yes, and I'm delighted with our preps, and now I'm going home.

- Aren't you staying for dinner?
- No, I have to prepare some things.

You know you don't have to leave right away every time I get home.

I don't care about your relationship.

- Should I pretend I don't know?
- Yes.

Or not...

All great politicians have lovers.

- Per Albin had two families.
- Two families, but they didn't have dinner together.

But we are more progressive.

I insist you stay for dinner.

Okay, I'll stay.

Maggan, cheers.

I'm going to change.

Anyway, you could at least get dressed.

We need to make the most of the situation.
I have a replacement for Calle.

- Another chef?
- What do you mean?

I can do the program myself, a great opportunity to show my own cooking.

Nina, you are not Ria Wägner.
We need a real chef.

Who do you have in mind?

Speak of the devil ...

Nina, this is Anders Wickman, chef from Henriksdal.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- My pleasure.

- We've never met?
- No, Anders is like a young Calle.

- And do you have time to do the show?
- Chef Björk gave me the day off.

This is not easy.

- Couldn't we use the usual menu?
- And how would that work with more than a hundred people?

- We need to do something easier, people will be walking around.
- What were you thinking about?

I do not know.

Nothing too expensive.
This is not the right time.

We've been through the worst times.
Like Christmas in '32.

The whole city was frozen in snow.
Supplies were not arriving.

We still managed to prepare a Christmas buffet.

- Then that's what we'll do.
- A Christmas buffet?

No! It's not Christmas at all.

We'll put out a delicious smörgåsbord.

- Smörgåsbord at an election party?
- Is there anything more Swedish?

Maybe it's not such a stupid idea.

One, two. One, two.

You are welcome. Welcome.

- Where is it?
- He'll be on his way.

Have you seen Britt?

- Carl Gustaf Wallin. Margareta Nilsson.
- Secretary of the Council.

Pleased to meet you, miss.

- Where is Mrs Gahn?
- About to arrive.

- We should start.
- Of course.

You are welcome.

- I hope you like it.
- Thanks.

- And thanks for the invitation.
- It was the least I could do.

I'm new to Stockholm, & other than you & Stig, I don't know anyone else.

I'm glad we share this knowledge of Stig.

I don't know what I would have done without him.

Excuse me if I intrude,
but aren't you going too fast?

Ah, with the move, you mean?

No, no, I had to move from
Halmstad. There were too many memories.

So are you moving in together?

Together? With who?

Stockholm citizens are tired of paying high taxes

and seeing their neighborhoods razed to the ground
by the excavators of the Social Democrats!

A vote for the right is a vote for Stockholm!

- Good man!
- Thanks.

Now Mrs. Gahn would be given the floor, at least if she were here.

Tell me, have you ever lived in the
Klara district you want to keep so badly?

- Who lives where isn't relevant.
- No, I think it's very relevant.

What's so romantic about Norrmalm
that you and your party are so concerned about it?

- It's not a question of romance ...
- These are badly built properties ...

from builders and others who are friends of his party

who filled their pockets
speculating.

I didn't mean ...

Old-fashioned apartments with bedbugs,
outdoor toilets and rats in the courtyards.

I lived there and I can affirm

that this romance for neighborhoods is certainly not due to concern for the residents.

The Party of the Right has no program

for citizens, unlike the Social Democrats.

More whiskey.

- Why don't you go home instead?
- What?

- Do you really need a drink?
- What the fuck do you want? Give me a whiskey.

I was in the same situation as you.
Alcohol is not the solution.

My situation?
What the hell do you know?

You sit here alone and drink for the third consecutive evening.

I think you're unhappy and want more from life, but don't know what.

I was like that too until I found the light.

- Did you find the light? Are you faithful?
- Yes. Pentecostal.

Pentecostal and bartender.
Don't you think something is wrong?

No, on the contrary.

I won't fucking set foot in here anymore.

- You're tired?
- No, I'm fine.

- The end is in sight.
- Additional staff will soon be added.

I didn't mean just the election night buffet.
I mean my work in the cold kitchen.

- Ah ... I thought you still liked it.
- Yes, I really enjoy it.

It's just that I've been doing that job for so long now and ...

you can only do a herring
in a few ways.

But what have you got on your mind?

Nina and I argued.

I canceled the TV recording.
I'm too busy with that night.

We can do without you for a few hours.
I don't think this is it.

I must get back to work.

Oh, Calle!
I was looking for you.

I just wanted to thank you for arranging
this buffet for the election vigil.

- Yes, Ethel and I worked together on it.
- Good.

Henriksdal accepts your menu
in toto if you agree.

Yes, okay.

Björk seems calm. He booked
Wickman for the television program.

- Anders Wickman?
- Yes, right.

He will replace you in the program with Nina.

- Sorry, I thought you knew.
- No.

I must...

- Gustaf. How are you?
- Everything good.

We have a few complaints.
Customers who think you preach.

- I don't preach, I treat them as human beings.
- People just want to drink.

And they can drink as we speak.

Can we agree that you leave God & the Holy Spirit out when you are at work?

We agree?

- Sometimes I miss the old Gustaf.
- Really. I think you're the only one.

In fact, you always have the same energy.

First it was work, then alcohol,
and now God. What will it be next?

Nothing. God loves me as I am.
I don't need anything else.

Is that true what your faith says?
That he loves you for who you really are?

My true me. If you don't respect ...
- Gustaf, I'm happy for you. Really.

I see you feel much better, but you have to
stop preaching to customers.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Do you want to sit here?

Now we paste it like this, and like this.

He sleeps like a stone.

A customer came in tonight ...

He wondered if tending bar is consistent with being Pentecostal.

Of course, you can be more useful there
than elsewhere.

I don't know.

Don't let a customer depress you.

Good evening.

Peter spoke to me today.

Every day in that restaurant
my failures come to mind.

You don't have to think about it, Gustaf.

You have received God.
Nothing else matters.

No.

But if you want to do another job,
just say it.

I have to find out from Ester
who is to replace me?

Why didn't you say anything?
- I only heard about it today.

I wanted to do the program by myself,
but Styrbjörn refused.

And what he says is law!
Wickman doesn't even know how to cook potatoes.

- He seems suitable, looks good.
You can't just get out.

I've been doing it for five years just for you!

I put my career as chef on hold all this time!

- Why did you do it, then?
- We never fucking see each other!

You always leave me for last.

Good luck with Wickman.

- Let's try?
- Sure.

What a good taste.

- Shouldn't we add some cognac?
- No.

- My husband always adds cognac.
- You shouldn't trust him blindly.

Soup is very good without cognac.

And probably also can be made without stock.

But what would it taste like then?

Cut it!

- Nina, you have to respect the script.
- Shrimp soup tastes better with cognac.

- It doesn't click between you.
- He belittles me.

He feels insecure. Is his first time in front of a camera.

- And last time, I hope.
- We have the studio until 5pm.

Can't we simply follow the script?

- Okay.
- Thanks. You're the best.

Do as in America:
'Fake it till you make it.' Again!

Please go ahead.

- Do you want to try?
- With great pleasure.

What a good taste.

- You'll find work.
- There is no work.

- Ask Angelo.
- There is no work.

- He told us!
- Angelo, good.

- They say you promised them jobs.
- No.

- Ragnarsson said you you had jobs here.
- Ragnarsson?

I'll handle that.

I can't help you. If you want to work here,
you have to talk to Mirko Kostelic.

Really lovely, Gunnel.

- My Gunnel? Have you met her?
- Yes, she came for coffee.

- You're pale. Do you feel bad?
- What have you talked about?

About some secrets, like women do.

- What secrets?
- Well, especially weddings.

- There will be no wedding.
- No, and no engagement.

- No.
- Then why did you tell me?

I don't know. It just came out in the spur of the moment.

You seemed jealous.
And I liked it.

- Are you glad I'm jealous?
- Is that so strange?

It means that you care a little about me.

Stig ...

I care so much about you.

- How did the recording go?
- Good.

That Wickman was a mistake.

- You have to excuse me.
- Apologies accepted

It would have been better to get you
do the program by yourself.

I know.

- Do you want to do another program?
- I think that's enough.

I've been working on an idea:
The Party Manager.

You invite interesting people: artists, actors.

You prepare lunch, mix drinks,
talk to the guests.

Some of them appear spontaneously
in a relaxed atmosphere.

And Calle?

Well, he would not be included.

I thought of it as being just for you.

Think about it.

DK couldn't hope for better advertising.

- Take care of yourself.
- You too. I'll think about it.

- Here you are!
- Good to see you.

- Holy shit, how much they're talking about you.
- Why?

"The woman who shut Wallin's mouth."

Thanks, but Britt argued most of the debate.

You knocked him out.

- I've already praised her enough.
- Do you want to do another meeting?

Well ... I don't know.

- Do you live in Vällingby?
- Yes.

- Can you do it tomorrow?
- Yes, I think yes.

Of course!

Great. So let's stay like that.
See you soon!

- Have you tried my sandwiches?
- No, I've made new ones.

Why?

If you put pate on bread
many hours before ...

- the bread gets moist and loses its crunchiness.
- Ah, I didn't know.

- I don't like this Wickman.
- He acts like a movie star.

If you must be so arrogant, at least learn to use the knife competently.

- I love it when you defend Nina.
- It's not necessary.

And now a commercial break.

- Are you okay, Nina & Peter getting along?
- No.

I told you before.
Sometimes you have to choose.

Yes, and I did.

Thank you for the evening.
"My husband the chef" ... was that the last episode?

- Yeah, we quit.
- Were you tired?

- Yes, I'm tired.
- I heard that Nina will do another program.

Ah.

- Ester said they announced it on TV.
- You know more than I do.

- Good job.
- Thanks.

Crepes for table 12!

# Oh, how nice when Stockholm is green ... #

# slowly we cross the city. #

Britt?

Britt!

# Oh, and laughter is heard at night. #

# And a man runs through the city. #

# A smell of hay from some
beautiful island of the archipelago ... #

# sneaking silently into the city. #

# Just like your arm,
so light and warm ... #

# bring the summer wind to my cheek. #

# And the night stops, disappears. #

# Shadow, silence, wind. #

# It's so short and it slips away
silently ... #

# when thrushes wake up in the city ... #

- Calle!
- Hi.

- What's this?
- A closing party with the team.

- And was it supposed to be here?
- No. It's the party ... Calle!

# Stops and looks at a swan. #

# Everything is silence
and I ask to be kissed. #

# Slowly we go through the city. #

# In Västerbron,
in the light blue rose. #

# A tram goes alone and empty. #

# All houses paint the night with lights.
Trees bloom in secret. #

# A million lives here
listen to that sound ... #

# that Stockholm plays for them. #

# They go far,
very far from here ... #

# but Stockholm is home. #

# Wherever we go,
I know Stockholm is ours. #

# When we go home
crossing the city. #

# Let's go with a quiet melody,
together for the city. #

# Then we stop to listen
the chirping of birds. #

# We smell the violets. #

# And happy we walk at a great pace. #

# Until a bright sun comes up. #

# Oh, it's good when
my Stockholm is green. #

# Slowly a night on the town. #

# A kiss that starts to wander again. #

# Slowly we cross the city ... ##
