"So mockingly." "We don't know if they're guilty." "It's probably of greatest importance we find them, right?" "Piece of shit." "You are so beautiful." "Hurry up." "I can take him." "Beat him to death." "Turn him into a drooling fool." "Or, I'll just kill him." "Then I just get a new guardian." "Come in." "The door's open, you know." "You've made me wait, your undressing."

"Every sin a man can commit, is outside the body" "But anyone who fornicates, sins with his own body." "That's the difference between a dalliance and true love." "True love can never be experienced in a dalliance." "Nothing guarantees you experience true love in marriage, either." "In marriage you learn to love each other." "Take Wåhlstedt, for example." "Isn't it true love?" "Haven't you noticed how he looks at her?" "And she ..." "What a woman!" "Beautiful, loyal, virtuous ..." "I'd give an arm to be with such a woman." "I know."
