Sara: They started arguing about God, and then they lost their tempers. And Anders tried to twist Viktor's arm, and Viktor said that was a lousy argument for God's existence. Sara: How sweet they both are! I always agree with the one I spoke with last." Alman: My wife likes ridiculing me. I let her. It's psychotherapy. Marianne: I thought: That's his mother.
