[Ingmar Bergman]:
And as Garbo and I entered the theater, I felt a sense of both calm and expectation
You, dear listener, have been very patient with me
Thank you for listening to my story
You may be relieved to know the story is soon coming to an end
What is strange is that the story has almost a Hollywood ending
A Hollywood ending!
I sat in the dark with Miss Garbo and watched her glorious
Swedish film, the two of us alone in the small theater
And when the film was over and the lights went on, she was gone
I slowly walked toward the exit and out onto the street
A familiar street
A street in Sweden
