[sitting with Inga in her room] Here are the boys. Ole wants to take you to the movie.

I have to ask mother first.

[after Inga settles in her sister's and Carsten's apartment]

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
What are you taking at school?

Inga:
I'm taking the required program.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
Do you like it?

Inga:
Yes.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
[lights a cigarette] Smoke?

Inga:
No, thank you.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
You don't smoke. Do you drink?

Inga:
No.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
What DO you do?

Inga:
I'm in school.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
Oh yes, I know, you just told me. But, I mean, after school?

Inga:
I do my homework.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
Oh. How nice. But I mean at NIGHT, for excitement.

Inga:
Sometimes me and my friends are going to the movies.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
Your friend?

Inga:
My boyfriend. We are going steady.

Carsten - Greta's boyfriend:
So you're going steady... what does that mean? Does it mean you're, ah, holding hands in public or maybe you read poetry together?

Inga:
Sometimes.

[Carsten puts his hand on his face in frustration]
