"So, how could we know that?" "Well, it..." "Yes?" "Because there was no smoke inside the body's lungs." "Yes, that's right." "Did you figure that out just now?" "No..." "I just read a lot." "What kind of books would those be?" "Just books." "Ok, now I'm going to talk to you about drugs." "Do you know what kind of drugs are most common among youth " "Hey, Oskar!"

" Yes..." "I live right here in the playground." "Sure..." "Seriously, where do you live?" " Next door to you." " How do you know where I live?" "Just so you know I can't be your friend." " What are you trying to say?" " Does there have to be a reason?" "That's just how it is." "Why do you think I want to be your friend?" "I have told you to help me!" "Do I really have to do this myself?" "Say something!" "I'm sorry." "So they don't why the boy was murdered." "I know that many of you are worried." "But the counsellor will be here all day long and you can go and see her any time you like." "Any questions?" "Would it be OK to kill the murderer if we see him?" "Conny, that wasn't really necessary, was it?" "Oskar..." " Where are you, piggy?" " Piggy!" "Now you go home directly after school." "And don't leave the yard until I get home."

"I'm looking for my father." "Is he in this hospital?" "What's his name?" "He's sick." "The police brought him in." "Do you know where he is?" "He's on the seventh floor." "But it's a restricted area." "You can call him..." "No... that's ok." "That poor little child..." "Can I come in?" "A kid..." "What damn kid?" " Why would a kid want to kill Jocke?" " I ..." "I don't know." "Jocke was the nicest and sweetest person you could think of." "I'll tear that damn kid to pieces." "Oskar!" "Can I come in?" "Don't look at me." "But you have to let me in." "Ok, come in." "Close your eyes." "How did you get there?" " I flew." " Yeah, right." "You're not wearing any clothes." "You're as cold as ice." "I'm sorry..." "Is it disgusting?" "No." "Eli..." "Do you want to go steady with me?" "What do you mean?" "Well..." "Can we date each other?" "Oskar I'm not a girl." "But..." "Can we go steady or not?" "Can't we just leave things as they are?" "I guess so..." "Do you do anything special when you go steady with someone?" "No." "So it's just the same?" "Yeah." "In that case I'll go steady with you." "We're dating." "Seriously?" "Great."

"I meant to say THE holes!" "How about a bath?" "Watch out for THE holes!" "Do you want to swim or not?" "No." "Mr. Ávila, I have to pee." " Go behind that tree." " On the ice?" "Does it matter?" "You'll just make more ice, but yellow." "What's that stick for?" "To hit you if you try anything." "So you're a brave little piggy all of the sudden?" "I'm going to push you and you won't do anything." "Am I right?" "Little baby piggy watch where you walk or I'll catch you..." "Look!" "Let's go." "Mr. Ávila will be mad..." "Are we just going to let him stand there?" "What happened there?" "What are you doing?" "Of course they accuse us!" "What do you want me to answer?" "That my son doesn't have a father?" "Yes it is!" "Here he comes." "The school called." "Youd better talk to your father, because I " "Hi." "I'm good." "I don't know." "Does the bike work?" "Ok, we'll see." "Hi Oskar."

"They tried to push me through a hole in the ice... but I but I had a stick and I hit Conny so hard that he was sent to the hospital." "Oskar..." "Yeah?" "Well done." "What was that thing you wanted us to do?" "We're going to mix..." "It doesn't hurt." "The only thing you have to do is pinch your finger." "Eli?" "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "They had to saw through the ice to get him up." "You have to call the cops." " What's the problem, Gösta?" " They're going to interrogate me." "Oh for God's sake..." "Maybe they'll take me to one of those rooms and point a lamp at my face." " Jocke and I were like this close." " I'm sorry, but I can't..." "As a matter of fact it's your duty as a witness to a crime." "Oh fuck..." "You're talking about what a good guy he was..." "Now that he's gone, there's nothing left in my life." "Nothing." " But, Lacke..." " Stop it!" "Don't you fucking "Lacke Lacke" me." "You don't understand shit." "You're fucking ice cold." "No one understands." "You did that really well, Lacke."

" Leave me alone!" "No..." "Open the door you son of a bitch!" "Let me go!" "Oskar, is that you?" "Yes." "Are you a vampire?" "I feed on blood... yes." "You're dead?" "No." "Can't you tell?" "But..." "Are you old?" "I'm twelve years old." "But I've been that for a very long time." "Are you, like, poor?" "You see that egg over there?" "If you sold it you could buy a nuclear power plant." "Seriously." "Yeah, sure..." "Put your finger on it." "Where did those rings come from?" "I'm going home now." "I have to distribute ads tomorrow." "To earn money?" "But I can give you money." "Here." "Take it if you want." "You've stolen them from people you have killed, isn't that right?" " They've been given to me." " By whom?" "Different people." "I want to go home now." "If I may?" "The time has come to sell this." "Dad's stamp collection." "This one, one stamp is worth 80,000." "We'll find a good buyer and I won't bargain the price..." "Then we'll buy that pretty piece of land." "It's so beautiful there." "We can both live there." "Listening to the birdsong and growing vegetables..." "Lacke, you have to help me." "Sure..." "That child..." "She must have infected me." "I don't want to live." "Good morning!" "Looking good." "I think you can go home today." "Isn't that great?" "I'll just open this..." "And take a blood sample." "There we go." "Listen..." "Could you open the blinds please?" "Sure... no problem." "Give me your hat." "Let's go!" "What's your problem?" "Give it to me." "Are you stupid?" "Come on, give it to me." "Give it to him hard, Conny!" " Fight." " Are you blind as well as deaf?" " Hi." " What's up?" "Can you give me the keys?" "I'm going home." " Sure, here you go." " Thanks, see ya." " Who's the man in your house?" " Well, well, Conny..." " What are you laughing at?" " Why, can't you hear, Conny..." " Hi." " Hi." "You have to let me in." "And if I don't?" "What happens if you just walk in?" "Is there something in your way?" "No!" "You may come in!" "Who are you?" "I'm just like you." "What do you mean?" "What are you looking at?" "Huh?" "Are you looking at me?" "Squeal then!" "Squeal!" "Those are the first words that I heard you say." "I don't kill people." "No." "But you'd like to if you could..." "For revenge, right?" "Yeah." "Oskar, I do it because I have to." "Become me for a while." "Please, Oskar, become me for a while." "You can borrow one of my mom's dresses." "Oskar let me in." "What are you doing?" "I'm in the bathroom, I'll be right there." "Let me in now, Oskar." "Hi, I'm in the bathroom." "Please don't go in there." "Do you want to go out tonight?" "I like you so much." "Your Eli." "I can't see..." "No!" "Let me go!" "Thanks." "Oskar..." "I have to leave." "WHO KILLED THE ICE MAN?" "Hello?" "Is that you, Oskar?" "It's me, Martin." "Mr. Avila wants to know if you're coming tonight." "Why?" "Don't know, he just asked." "Maybe he wants you to come." "I don't know..." "By the way, what you did to Conny was good." " He deserved it." " What an actor!" "Do you think so?" "Sure." "Are you coming tonight?" " Good, Oskar." " Hi." "Hi, Oskar." "Hi." "Come on, let's do aerobics in the water." "Hurry up!" "Come on, Oskar!" "Let's go!" "Move it." "What?" "Joder!" "Call the firemen!" "Fire!" "Go away!" "Get out!" "Do you know who I am?" " Yes." " Good." "That means you understand." "Let's have a little contest." "You have to stay under the water for three minutes." "If you can do it I'll only cut you a little." "But if you can't then I'll take an eye." "An eye for an ear, OK?" "But it's impossible." "That's your problem." "Three minutes." "You'd better take a deep breath." "five, four, three two, one." " Jimmy..." " Shut up!" " Come on, let's get out of here."
