""He'll Come 'round""

""He'll Come 'round""


[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
I just need to think this over.

[THE STUDIO CHIEF:]
No problem, Mr. Bergman. I’ll show you to the door.
The limousine’s waiting downstairs.
[Bergman leaves office.]

I think that went very well.

He’ll come ‘round
They always do
He’ll come ‘round
It’s nothing new
He’ll come ‘round
‘Cause in the end they all come ‘round

He’ll come ‘round
He’ll think a while
Then he’ll come ‘round
But we’ll just smile
He’ll come ‘round
Knowing that he’ll come around

He’ll come ‘round
He’ll play his game
But he’ll come ‘round
They’re all the same
He’ll come ‘round
I have a hunch that he’ll come’ round
He’ll come ‘round

""He's Home""

""He's Home""


[THE HAPPY SWEDISH PEOPLE:]
He’s home, he’s home, and we’re so glad
No fireworks, no marching band
But old and young, rejoice and cheer
Without him here, we’re barely here

And the seduction failed
As anyone can see
They mispronounced his name
But here at home he’s he

Come one, come all, and shout “hooray”
Our Ingmar is home today
He looks the same, no sign of tan
And in the rain, he’s right again

And the seduction failed
As anyone can see
They mispronounced his name
But here at home he’s he

Bergman, Bergman, Bergman, Bergman,
Bergman, Bergman, Bergman, Bergman,

We’d sit and wait while he was gone
The night would come, and then the dawn
Without the depth that Bergman brought
Our lives were just an afterthought

And the seduction failed
As anyone can see
They mispronounced his name
But here at home he’s he

He turns our thoughts to something deep
And make us laugh and make us weep
The unexamined life they say
Is not worth living, well, O.K.

Ah, but Bergman well, he examines all
And most of all himself,
Good night, that’s all.

[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
Good night, that’s all.

""Here He Is Now""

""Here He Is Now""



[THE STUDIO CHIEF:]
Here he is now
Here he is now
Here he is now

Here he is now
Small talk at first
Here he is now
Speak slow at first
Here he is now
Joke that he needs a tan

Here he is now
Watch what is said
Here he is now
He is well read
Here he is now
Praise both the work and the man

Here he is now
We’ll be polite
Here he is now
Firm but polite
Here he is now
Just feel things out and go from there

Here he is now

""I Am Ingmar Bergman""

""I Am Ingmar Bergman""



[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
I am Ingmar Bergman.
You may or may not know my films.
You may or may not know anything about me as a person.

Still, the strange events following the warm and unexpected
reception to my film Smiles Of A Summer Night are something
that no one has known about – until now.

Good, Evil, God, the Devil, Life, Death – these were my usual
concerns. This film, though, was a comedy. A comedy! How far
from a comedy the events to follow would be.

Have you ever felt compelled to do something against your will?
I have. I have.

You see, I have a total disdain for escapist art, and yet why, on
that cold May afternoon in Stockholm in 1956, did I feel the need
to enter that movie theater to see escapist art of the worst sort,
a typical American action film…well, the title is not what is
important. What is important is that I felt compelled to watch
that film, against my will, for 90 long minutes.

Why?

Was it the urge to partake of something mindless?
Was it the urge to indulge in something vacuous?
Was it the urge to do something…unlike Ingmar Bergman.

And, as the film finally ended, I walked to the exit as quickly as I
could and onto the street – but not the street I expected.

“What is this? Where am I?”

[LIMO DRIVER:]
Mr. Bergman, sir, welcome to Hollywood.
Your limousine awaits. Please, get in. Watch your head.

""I Must Not Be Hasty""

""I Must Not Be Hasty""


[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
I must not be hasty.
My first inclination would be to tell them to go to Hell, but I must
not be hasty.
My first inclination is to tell them they don’t deserve an artist of
my stature, but I must not be hasty.
I’ve struggled all my life for money for my films and the one thing
these people have is money, so I must not be hasty.
Perhaps I could be one of the lucky ones who survive in
Hollywood. So I must not be hasty. I must not be hasty.

""I've Got To Contact Sweden""

""I've Got To Contact Sweden""


Water grey
Through the windows, up the stairs

Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere

[Chorus:]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking
The levis are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water
I
Do
[End Chorus]

Hope decays
Generations disappear

Washed away
As a nation simply stares

[Chorus:]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away

But there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water
I
Do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under ground now
I
Now I do
[End Chorus]

[Brad's Guitar Solo]

Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

""Mr Bergman, How Are You?""

""Mr Bergman, How Are You?""


[THE STUDIO CHIEF:]
Mr. Bergman, let me welcome you to Hollywood and to
Hollywood American Studio
Svenson will translate for us and I hope not add any zeros in
the process!

Mr. Bergman, how are you?
Herr Bergman, hur står det till?
Something we can get for you?
Kan vi bjuda er på något?
Some Ramlösa, like some ice?
Lite Ramlösa, önskas is?
My name’s Gerald GeoffreyWeiss
Jag heter Gerald GeoffreyWeiss

To your right is Mr. Brown,
Här till höger har vi mr Brown,
Mr. Clay, and Mrs. Down
mr Clay och mrs Down
I know you know English, true
Jag vet att ni kan engelska
Svensson här tolkar ändå
Allt till svenska för er skull
Svensson, though, will translate, too
Into Swedish, just for you
Into Swedish, just for you

Mr. Bergman, we’re not hicks
Herr Bergman, vi är inga bönder
But we must deliver kicks
Men vi måste skapa underhållning
Still there is some middle ground
Men det finns förhandlingsmån
Hollywood can be your town
We will never let you down

Let me cut right to the chase
Låt mig gå rakt på sak
We need you to help erase
Vi behöver er hjälp att sudda ut
Image problems, self-imposed
självförvållade imageproblem
Art and commerce, never close
You can bring us both of those

Works of art can also work
Ett konstverk kan gå hem
For some Midwest creepy jerk
Hos idioterna på landet
In return we’ll pay your way
I gengäld betalar vi vad vad det kostar
Make the film in your own way
All the way you’ll have your say

Monika, now that was great
Monika var fantastisk
Summer Interlude, so great,
Sommarlek likaså
Were you just a bit surprised
Blev ni inte lite förvånad
Cannes gave you that special prize
Get dear Ingmar some more ice

Smiles of A Summer Night
Sommarnattens leende
Hope I got the title right
Hoppas jag fick titeln rätt
Why not take a quantum leap
Det är dags att ta nästa steg
You still haven’t hit your peak
We can help you reach your peak

Think it over, overnight
Sov på saken
Do what you think’s really right
Gör det ni tror är det rätta
You help us and we help you
Hjälp oss och vi hjälper er
More Ramlösa, well adieu
Well adieu
Här Ramlösa. Tack, adjö

""Oh My God""

""Oh My God""


[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
At last, the Pacific Ocean. How far does the territory of Hollywood
extend? Anyway, I think I’m safe for now. But I need to escape this
man-made Hell and return to my home. I need a savior.

Oh, my God
Do you exist
Oh, my God
Do you exist
Do you exist, do you exist, do you exist, do you exist

Oh, my God
Prove you exist
Oh, my God
If you exist
If you exist, prove you exist, show you exist, if you exist

Send an angel down to lead
Lead me from this barren land
How the Hell can I believe
If you withhold your guiding hand

Oh, my God
Do you exist
Oh, my God
Do you exist
Do you exist, do you exist, do you exist, do you exist

Oh, my God
Prove you exist
Oh, my God
If you exist
If you exist, prove you exist, show you exist, if you exist

Oh, my God
Do you exist
Oh, my God
Do you exist

Send an angel down to lead
Lead me from this barren land
How the Hell can I believe
If you withhold your guiding hand

""Quiet On The Set""

""Quiet On The Set""


[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
Actors are actors anywhere and yet what I fear is a Hollywood
starlet not understanding my temperament on the set.

[Hear imaginary film shoot in Hollywood]

[FIRST A.D.:]
Quiet on the set! Unnamed Ingmar Bergman Production – Take One

[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
Action….Cut! No, no, no, no, no!

[FIRST A.D.:]
Quiet! Unnamed Ingmar Bergman Production – Take Two

[INGMAR BERGMAN:]
And action. Cut.
And again. Cut. No! No!
Quiet. Action. Cut. Let me explain what I’m trying to achieve
and see if you can understand.
Let me explain what I’m trying to achieve and see if you can

""We've Got To Turn Him 'round""

""We've Got To Turn Him 'round""


[THE STUDIO CHIEF:]
We’ve got to turn him ‘round
Not let him let us down
We’ve got to turn him ‘round
Not let him turn us down, not let him turn us down

How could he be so small
To turn us down, so small
How could he be so small to turn us down at all
He’s great, but not that great
He thinks he has a choice in all this
He thinks he has a choice in all this
He thinks he has a choice in all this

We’ve offered him the moon
Rejected us like goons
And all the while unfazed, his eyes were dull and glazed
But all that’s in the past

He really has some gall
To turn us down at all
He really has some gall to turn us down at all
Is anyone that great?

Let’s see how well he does without us
He’ll see that he is lost without us
He’ll never be that great without us
