"LET THE RIGHT ONE IN" "Squeal like a pig." "So, squeal!" "Squeal!" "Squeal like a pig!" "The police have ways to determine foul play..." "Do you remember that fire in Ängby?" "A house burned down and a body was found inside." "They found someone in there." "Dead, of course." "We knew that the fire had been set to conceal the fact that the person had been murdered beforehand." "So, how could they know that?" "Well..." " Go ahead." "There was no smoke in the lungs of the person who died." "That's correct." "Did you figure that out right now?" "No, I read a lot." "What kind of books would that be?" "Just books." "Okay..." "I'm going to talk to you about drugs." "What do you think are the most common types of drugs..." "Hey, Oskar..." "What are you staring at?" "Huh?" "Are you looking at me?" "Well, fuck off!" "Piggy..." "Good job, pig!" "On the coast, just a few degrees below zero." "Eastern Svealand..." "clear tonight... intermittent snow flurries... temperatures ranging from 20-32 degrees..." "Excuse me..." "Do you have the time?" "I don't have a watch." "What's that?" "This?" "It's called Halotane." "Ricky!" "Ricky!" "Beat it!" "Ricky?" "Ricky?" "Stupid dog!" "Ricky!" "What are you staring at?" "Well?" "Are you looking at me?" "Well, fuck off!" "What's your problem?" "Are you scared?" "So scream!" "Squeal!" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." " Do you live here?" " Yeah..." "I live right here, in the jungle gym." "Seriously, where do you live?" "Next door to you." "How do you know where I live?" "Just so you know." "I can't be friends with you." " What do you mean?" " Does there have to be a reason?" "That's just the way it is." "Are you so sure that I want to be your friend?" "You're supposed to help me!" "Do I really have to take care of this myself?" "Say something!" "Forgive me." "They don't know why the boy was killed." "I realize that many of you may be worried." "The counselor will be here all day... so go talk to her if you feel the need." "Does anyone have any questions?" "Is it all right to kill the killer if you happen to meet him?" "That wasn't very nice, Conny." "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "Now go straight home after school!" "And don't leave the courtyard until I get home." "It was way over in Vällingby." "A person who kills children is certainly capable of taking the subway two stations?" "Or walking a kilometer?" "No, Oskar will be staying with his dad next week..."

" If it isn't my little honey bunny..." "The death penalty has no justification in a society based on the rule of law." "Based on the rule of law?" "The government wants us to believe in that crap... just like the Russians..." "Are you saying there aren't any Russians?" "Of course there are..." "Never seen the guy before." "But take rattlesnakes..." "Does anyone actually get bitten?" "That guy over there just moved into my neighborhood." "He has a kid." "They're in Janne's old place." " Should I ask him to join us?" " Sure... yeah." "He might pay for a round." "In that case, he's welcome even if he has cancer." "Bad news?" "Yeah, life stinks..." "You just moved into #15, right?" "You don't have to sit here all alone, join us and have a laugh." "No thanks, I'm in a hurry." "Mom?" "I'm going out for a while." "Aren't you going to watch the rest of the show?" "No, it's no good." "Stay in the courtyard, okay?" "I'll just watch this on my own, then." "So you're back?" "So you're back." "I want to be left alone." "So do I." "Then go home." "You go home." "I've lived here longer than you." "What's that?" "This?" "It's a Rubik's cube." "Is it a puzzle?" "Yeah..." "You want to borrow it?" "You can give it back tomorrow." "I might not be here tomorrow." "The day after, then." "But that's it." "How do you do it?" "You want each side to be a solid color." "Like this..." "You smell funny." "Aren't you cold?" " No." " Why not?" "I guess I've forgotten how." "See you tomorrow." "Okay." "Okay." "Thanks for yet another evening steeped in friendship and merriment." "Good night, old buddy." " See you tomorrow." " Yeah." " You're the best." " You too." "Help me." "Hello?" "Please, help me." "Is something wrong?" "Are you all right?" " Can you get up?" " No." "Oh..." "I'll carry you." "And take you to a phone." "Careful." "You don't weigh a thing." "Gösta?" "Christ, it's been ages!" "I haven't seen you all year." " Jocke..." " What?" "Jocke..." "I was out on the balcony and I saw..." " I saw Jocke and this kid..." " How big was this kid?" "It was around here somewhere." "Move it!" "What the hell is this?" "Christ!" "Blood." "It's blood, damn it!" "Who the hell did this?" "Whew..." "How did you do it?" "I just twisted it." "Do I smell better now?" "Um, what's your name?" "Eli." "What's yours?" " Eli?" " Yeah." "I'm Oskar." "How old are you?" "Twelve... more or less." "And you?" "12 years, eight months, and nine days." "What do you mean, "more or less"?" "When's your birthday?" "I don't know." "Don't you celebrate your birthday?" "Your parents... they've got to know." "Then you don't get any birthday presents, do you?" "No." "You can have this, if you want." "It's yours." "I don't get how you did this." "Want me to show you?" "Show me." " Here." "Go ahead." " Start with the corners." "Then this part." "And you put..." ""Slipping in and out of the shadows... running quick and quiet, and keeping out of the sun."

"Well then, class dismissed." " Oskar, aren't you going?" " No, I have stuff to do." "SAMUEL MORSE." "What were you writing down?" "What do you mean?" "Show it to me." "No." "What do you mean, no?" "Hand it over!" "Crap, who's going to talk to his mom?" "Wait for me!" "Oskar!" "Piggy!" "I fell down during recess." "I tripped on this rock." "Oh, honey." "You have to be careful." "Hmm?" "Short, long, long, short, long." "Short, long, long, short, long." "Precisely." "Here..." "What happened?" "Here." "Some kids in my class." "Where do you go to school, anyway?" "Oskar, listen." "Hit back." "You've never hit them back... have you?" "Start hitting back now." "Do it." "Hit back." "Hard." "There are three of them." "Then you have to hit even harder!" "Hit back even harder." "Then they'll stop." " But if they..." " Then I'll help you." "I can do that." "Come." "Come." "Hey... move." "You're in the way." "Let's see... short, short..." "S...s...s..." "S..." "W..." "E..." "E..." "T" "Vuh..." "Guh..." "Keep the proper distance!" "Not too close, not too far." "Keep your distance!" "Nice and steady." "Yes?" "The after school weight-lifting program... could I sign up for it?" "You don't have to sign up, just be there are seven." "Are you thinking of doing it?" " Yes." " Good!" "If you practice, you'll get stronger." "See you." "Wait a sec..." "Mixed candy." "Here." "No." "Too bad." "I can... try one." "Sorry." "Oskar... do you like me?" "Yeah, a lot." "If I weren't a girl, would you like me anyway?" "I suppose so." "Why do you ask?" "Oskar!" "Hey, son!" " You're early." " Hi, Dad!" "There are people who know my face who know that I live here with you." " Maybe you shouldn't." " What else am I good for?" "Can you do one thing for me?" "Could you not see that boy tonight?" "Please?" "What the hell?" " What's taking Matte so long?" " Don't know." "Hey!" "Matte?" "You can jerk off at home." "Matte?" "Hurry up!" "What are you doing?" "Open the door." "Matte!" "Let me down!" "Let me down!" "Help!" "Help!" "Matte?" "Help!" "Open the god damn door!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help?" "Help!" " Get me down!" " What are you doing up there?" "Eli according to Communist Party Chairman Brezhnev." "An unidentified man was arrested yesterday, charged with murder." "And attempted murder... in Vällingby, near Stockholm." "The man's self-inflicted facial wounds... make it hard to determine his indentity." "In sports..." "Come on in." "Through those doors." "Yes?" "Excuse me." "I'm looking for my dad." "Has he been admitted to this hospital?" "What's his name?" "He's sick." "The police brought him in." "Do you know where he is?" "He's up on the seventh floor." "Only that's a restricted ward." " I could call them..." " No." "That's all right." "Oh, you poor thing." "May I come in?" "Wake up, Virginia." " A kid!" " What kid?" "Why would a kid kill Jocke?" "I don't know." "Jocke's the sweetest guy there ever lived." "I'd like to tear that damn kid limb from limb." "Oskar!" "May I come in?" "Don't look at me." "But you have to say that I can come in." "You can come in..." "Close your eyes." "How did you get in?" "I flew." "Yeah, sure." "But you're not wearing anything." "You're as cold as ice!" "Sorry..." "Is that gross?" "No." ""Higgeldy-piggledy shout." "How many fingers are out?"" "Eli do you want to go steady?" "What do you mean?" "Well..." "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" "Oskar..." "I'm not a girl." "No?" "But do you want to go steady or not?" "Couldn't we just keep things the way they are?" "I guess..." "Do you do anything special when you go steady?" "No." "So everything's the same?" "Yeah." " Then we'll go steady." " What?" "It'll be you and me." " Really?" " Uh-huh." "Good." "TO FLEE IS LIFE, TO LINGER, DEATH." "YOUR ELI" "Listen up!" "Lower school, skate with me."

"So, do you want to go swimming?" "No." "Mr. Avila?" "I have to pee." " Go behind the tree." " On the ice?" "What does it matter?" "You make new ice." "Yellow ice." "What's that stick for?" "To hit you with, if you try anything." "Are you a brave pig all of a sudden?" "I'm going to push you, and you aren't going to do a thing." "Isn't that so?" "Little piggy watch your step... or I'll get you..." "Look." "Come on." "Mr. Avila will freak out." "Are we supposed to just let him stand there?" "What's going on?" "Oskar!" "What are you up to?" "Come on." "POLICE" "Oh yes, they will blame us!" "Am I supposed to tell them my son doesn't have a father?" "Here he comes." "They've called from school." "And you'd better talk to your father, because I..." "Hello?" "I'm fine." "I don't know." "Is the bike working?" "We'll see." "Hey, Oskar." "So you did go swimming after all." "I'm only kidding." "We're not allowed to be in here." "But some of the bigger kids hang out here anyway." "And you know what?" "Today... they tried to throw me into a hole in the ice..." "Oskar..." "But I had a stick, and I hit Conny in the head so hard that he had to go to the hospital." "Oskar?" "Huh?" "Hurrah!" "What did you want us to do?" "We're going to mix." "It doesn't hurt." "All you need to do is prick your finger." "Eli?" "Eli?" "Go!" "Go away!" "They had to use a chainsaw to get him out." "Go tell the cops your story." "What's your problem, Gösta?" "They'll ask me questions..." "What do you mean?" "They might shut me into one of those rooms and shine bright lights in my eyes..." " Jocke and I, we were this close..." " I'm sorry, but I can't..." "In fact..." "It's your duty, you witnessed a crime." "Hell." "You go on about what a great guy he was..." "But now that he's gone I have nothing left." "Nothing." " Oh Lacke..." " Stop it!" "Don't give me your goddamn "Lacke, Lacke."" "You don't understand shit." "You're cold, fucking ice cold!" "No one gets it..." "Ow!" "You handled that just fucking great, Lacke." "Ginia!" "Please, wait up!" "Can't we at least talk about it?" "Please?" "Help me!" "Help me!" " Get off her!" " Help me!" " Wait!" "You took my lighter." " What's going on up there?" "I didn't mean it, Ginia." "I love you." "I didn't see that coming." "You never do." "But this time I'll get you." "Dream on." "You go first." " Well look who's here." " Good evening to you all." "So... you look like you're have a grand old time." "That's right." "And Oskar's here..." "Dad?" "It's your turn." "Yes, yes." "But we have a guest now." "It's nice and cozy in here." "So you had a little something, then?" "TO FLEE IS LIFE, TO LINGER, DEATH." "YOUR ELI" "It ended up all wrong." "It was supposed to be great, but their calculations were all wrong." "It was all wrong from the start," "And it just got worse." "So when you pass these buildings..." "Nothing to be scared of, kitty." " And it was more and more wrong." " Pretty damn busy around here tonight." "And now I walk around and it feels like..." "Awful lot of traffic this evening!" "Come on in!" "Ginia!" "Where the hell have you been?" "What are you doing?" "I need to talk to you, damn it!" " What's wrong!" " Leave me alone!" "I have to hold you." "We've been so fucking worried." " Are you crazy?" " Let go of me!" "What's happening with the cats?" "What's happening with the cats?" " Open the door, you bastard!" " Get off of me!" "Help!" "Oskar, is that you?" "Yeah." "Are you a vampire?" "I live off blood." "Yes." "Are... are you dead?" "No." "Can't you tell?" "But are you old?" "I'm 12." "But I've been 12 for a long time." "Are you like, poor?" " You see the egg there?" " Mm-hmm." "If you sold that you could buy a whole nuclear power plant." "For real." "Oh, sure..." "Put your finger on it." "Where did... where did those rings come from?" "I'm going home now." "I have flyers to distribute tomorrow." "To make money?" "Um-hmm." "I can give you money." "Here." "Take it if you want." "You stole this... from the people you killed, right?" " It was given to me." " By whom?" "By different people." "I want to go home now." "If you'll let me." "It's time to sell it..." "Dad's stamp collection." "His whole life." "What a guy." "One stamp... 80,000." "80 grand!" "Sometimes I tried to be interested." "I said, "I won't tell."" "He just said, "No, there are others." "Thank you very much."" "If you find the right buyer..." "I won't accept any less" "We'll buy that nice cottage and the two of us can live there." "The countryside is so beautiful." "Listen to the birds sing and grow our own vegetables..." "Lacke, you've got to help me!" "Of course." " That child." " Yeah?" "She must have infected me somehow." "I don't want to live." "Good morning!" "Things are looking good." "You can probably go home today." "Won't that be nice?" "I'll just unlock this... and take a little blood sample." "There." " Listen?" " Yes?" "Could you open the blinds, please?" "Sure... no problem." "Hand over your cap." "Do it!" "What's your problem?" "Give it to me!" " What are you some kind of moron?" " Go for it Conny." " Put up a fight." " Are you blind as well as deaf?" " Hey..." " What's up?" "Can I borrow the keys?" " Why?" " I want to go home." "Sure." "Here." "Thanks." "See you later." " Who's the boss at your house?" " Well, well..." " What are you laughing at?" " Are you hard of hearing, Conny?" " Hi." " Hey." "You have to invite me in." "What happens if I don't?" "What happens if you walk in anyway?" "Is there something in the way?" "Tsk-tsk-tsk..." "Tsk-tsk-tsk." "No!" "You can come in!" "Who are you?" "I'm like you." "What do you mean?" ""What are you staring at?" "Well?" "Are you looking at me?" ""So scream!" "Squeal!"" "Those were the first words I heard you say." "I don't kill people." "No... but you'd like to, if you could." "To get revenge." "Right?" "Yes." "Oskar, I do it because I have to." "Be me, for a little while." "Please, Oskar... be me, for a little while." "You can borrow one of my mom's dresses." "Oskar, let me in." "What are you up to?" "Coming!" "I'm in the bathroom." "Let me in, Oskar..." "HI!" "I'M IN THE BATHROOM." "PLEASE DON'T COME IN." "DO YOU WANT TO MEET ME TONIGHT?" "I LIKE YOU SO MUCH." " YOUR ELI" "I can't see a thing." "No!" "Huh?" "Let go!" "Let go of me!" "Thank you." "Oskar..." "I've got to go away." "WHO MURDERED THE MAN IN THE ICE?" "Hello." " Oskar, are you there?" " Yeah." "It's me, Martin." "Mr. Avila wanted to know if you're coming to practice tonight." "How come?" "I guess he just wanted to know." "Maybe he wants you to be there." "I don't know..." "By the way..." "I think it was good, what you did to Conny." "He had it coming." "Damn, he's a good actor!" " You think so?" " Yes." "So, are you coming tonight?" "POOL" "Good, Oskar." "Hi." "Hello, Oskar." "Hey." "Come, we'll start with aqua aerobics." "Hurry up!" "Come on, Oskar!" "Come on!" "Vamos, vamos!" "Uno, dos, uno dos..." "Move your body!" "What?" "Christ!" "Call the fire department!" "Fire!" "Beat it!" "Clear out!" "Do you know who I am?" " Yes." " Good." "Then you understand." "We're going to have a little contest now." "You'll stay under water... for three minutes." "If you can do it, I'll just nick you." "But if you can't..." "I'll poke one of your eyes out." "An eye for an ear, okay?" "But... that's impossible." "That's your problem." "Three minutes." "Better take a deep breath!" "Five... four... three... two... one." " Jimmy..." " Shut up!" " Let's go, Conny." " I told you to shut up!" "LET THE RIGHT ONE IN"
