"LET THE RIGHT ONE IN" "Squeal like a pig." "Squeal!" "Squeal!" "Squeal like a pig!" "The police have many ways to find out if something's fishy." "Remember the house that burned down in Angby?" "A house that burned to the ground." "They found someone in there." "Dead, of course." "In that case we knew it was arson because the person had been murdered." "How could we know that?" "Yes?" "Because there wasn't any smoke in the lungs." "That's correct." "How did you figure it out?" "I read a lot." "What kind of books, I wonder?" "Newspapers and things like that." "And now we can talk a little about drugs." "What kinds are the most common..." "Oskar!" "What are you staring at?" "Huh?" "You staring at me?" "You better stop." "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?" "What time is it?" "I don't have a watch." "What's that?" "It's called Halotan." "Ricky!" "Ricky!" "Get lost!" "Ricky?" "Ricky?" "Darned dog!" "Ricky!" "What are you looking at?" "Huh?" "Looking at me?" "You better quit." "What's wrong with you?" "Are you scared?" "Squeal then!" "Squeal!" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." " Do you live here?" " Yes..." "I live here." "Okay." "Where do you live?" "Next to you." "How do you know where I live?" "I can't be friends with you." "Just so you know." "Why?" "That's just how it is." "Do you think I want to be friends with you?" "I've told you you have to help me!" "Do I have to do it myself?" "Say something!" "Sorry." "So no one knows why this boy was murdered." "I understand that many of you are scared, but the counselor will be here all day." "You can talk to her whenever you want." "Does anyone have any questions?" "If we meet the murderer, can we murder him?" "Conny, that was unnecessary." "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "You will go straight home after school!" "And you're not to leave the yard until I come home." "But it was in Vallingby." "So you think someone who murders children can't take the subway?" "Or walk a kilometer?" "Yes, that would be best..." "He's going to his father's next week..." "Murder in Vallingby MURDERER DRAINED VICTIM'S BLOOD" "Senseless massacre in Beirut" "No survivors in Arab murders manhunt for killer continues" "Eyewitness identifies murderer prior to confession" "MURDER DRAINED HIS VICTIM" "...just coming... hi, there." "I really don't think the death penalty has any relevance in our society." "It's just something they've drilled into us... like the Russians or something..." "Are you saying there aren't any Russians?" "Of course there are Russians." "Never seen him before." "Who's been bitten by a snake here?" "He moved into my building the other day." "With a little kid." " Should I ask him over?" " Yes, ask him!" "What the hell?" "In that case..." "Things not going too well?" "It's screwed up." "You moved into #15?" "Why sit by yourself?" "Come over instead." "I'm kind of in a hurry." "Mom?" "I'm going out for a while." "Aren't you going to watch the rest?" "No, it wasn't any good." "Stay in the yard, then, okay?" "Well, I'll watch the rest anyway." "You're here again?" "Are you here again?" "I want to be left alone." "Me too." "Go home, then!" "You go home." "I've lived here longer." "What's that?" "This?" "It's a Rubik's cube." "Is it a puzzle?" "Yes." "You want to borrow it?" "Till tomorrow." "I might not be here tomorrow." "That's okay." "You can borrow it till Monday." "How does it work?" "You try to get the sides one color." "Like this." "You smell funny." "Aren't you cold?" " No." " Why not?" "I guess I've forgotten how." "Guess I'll see you Monday, then." "Okay." "Okay." "Thanks for tonight." "Bye, old pal." " See you tomorrow." " Yeah." " You're the best." " You too." "Help me." "Hello?" "Please, help me." "Has something happened?" "Are you hurt?" " Can you get up?" " No." "I'll carry you." "Can we call somewhere?" "Careful." "You don't weigh anything..." "Gosta?" "Hey, Gosta!" "It's been a long time." " Jocke..." " What?" "Jocke..." "There was an animal behind... and then I saw Jocke... and a little kid." "It was here somewhere." "Look!" "Damn." "Blood." "It's blood, damn it!" "Who the hell did this?" "How did you do it?" "I turned it." "Do I smell better?" "What's your name?" "Eli." "What's yours?" " Eli?" " Yeah." "My name is Oskar." "How old are you?" "Twelve... about." "And you?" "12 years, eight months, and nine days." "What do you mean, "about 12"?" "When's your birthday?" "I don't know." "But, like, when were you born?" "Your parents... they have to know." "You never get any presents?" "No." "You can have this if you want." "It's yours." "I don't get how you did it." "You want me to show you?" "Show me." "You have to start here... then you take this side." "See?" ""He slipped in and out among the tree shadows." "He ran quickly and quietly and was careful to avoid the light." "Soon they returned to watch the gate, muttering and swearing." "Bilbo was saved."" "Well then, that's it for today!" "Do you all have the slips for Thursday's field trip?" "Thank you for today." " Oskar, aren't you going?" " No, I have some things to do." "Samuel Morse" "What were you writing?" "What do you mean?" "Let me see." "No." "What do you mean, no?" "Give it here!" "Who's gonna talk to his mom now?" "Wait!" "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "I fell at recess." "I fell on a rock." "Oh, darling." "You have to be careful." "Hmm?" "Short, long, long, short, long." "Short, long, long, short, long." "Exactly." "Here." "What happened?" "Here." "Some kids in my class." "Where do you go to school, anyway?" "Oskar, listen." "You have to fight back." "You've never hit them back... have you?" "Start hitting back now... hard." "There are three of them." "Then you have to hit even harder!" "Hit back harder than you dare." "Then they'll stop." " But if they..." " Then I'll help you." "I can." "Come." "Come." "Move over." "Short, short..." "S-s-s..." "Ooh-hh..." "Vuh..." "Guh..." "Keep the distance!" "Not too near, not too far." "Keep the distance!" "Just so." "Calmly." "Yes?" "That strength training class in the bathhouse... can I sign up for it?" "You don't have to sign up, just come." "At 7:00." "You want to?" " Yes." " Good!" "You'll train, then you can go about 50 times." "At least." "Wait a minute..." "Mixed." "Here." "No." "Too bad." "I can... try one." "I'm sorry." "Oskar... do you like me?" "Yes, a lot." "If I weren't a girl, would you like me anyway?" "I guess so." "Why?" "Oskar!" "Hi, buddy!" " You're early." " Hi, Dad!" "There are people who recognize my face who know I live here, with you." " Maybe you shouldn't." " Where else would you be?" "Can you do something for me?" "Not see that boy this evening?" "What the hell?" " Where's Matte?" " Don't know." "Hey!" "Matte?" "Matte!" "Time to go home!" "Matte?" "What are you doing?" "Open the door." "Matte!" "Let me down!" "Let me down!" "Help!" "Help!" "Matte?" "Help!" "Turn the handle!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help?" "Help!" "How did you end up there?" "I'm trapped." "...police have not been able to confirm the identity of the man who was apprehended last night on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in Vallingby, in western Stockholm." "Identification was difficult because the man injured himself severely before his arrest." "In sports..." "Just go in." "Yes?" "Sorry." "I'm looking for my dad." "Is he here?" "What's his name?" "He's sick." "The police took him." "Where could he be?" "Then he's on Level 7." "But you can't just go in there." " I can call..." " No." "It's not necessary." "You poor thing." "Can I come in?" "Wake up, Virginia." " A kid!" " What goddamn kid?" "Why the hell would a kid want to kill Jocke?" "I don't know." "Jocke was the kindest person I know." "I'll rip that damned kid to shreds." "Oskar!" "Can I come in?" "Don't look." "But say I can come in." "Come in." "Close your eyes." "How did you get here?" "I flew." "Okay." "But you're not wearing any clothes." "You're ice cold!" "Sorry." "Is it yucky?" "No." ""Bulleri, bulleri bock" "How many fingers am I tapping you with?"" "Eli..." "Do I have a chance with you?" "With what?" "I mean..." "Do you want to go steady?" "Oskar, I'm not a girl." "No?" "Do I have a chance with you?" "Can't we just be like this?" "Yes." "Do you do something special then?" "No." "Is everything like usual?" "Yes." " Then you have a chance with me." " What?" "Then we're together." " Really?" " Yes." "Good." "TO FLEE IS LIFE, TO LINGER, DEATH." "YOUR ELI" "Lower grades, with me!" "Middle grades, free skating." "Watch out for the ice pit over there!" "Listen to me!" " Avila?" " Understood?" "Avila..." " it's called an ice hole." " Ice hole?" "I mean, ice hole!" "You want to swim?" "Are you going to swim?" "No." "Teacher, teacher?" "I have to go pee." " Pee over by the tree." " On the ice?" "So what?" "It'll be new ice." "Yellow." "What are you going to do with the stick?" "I'll hit you..." "If you try anything." "Did the pig suddenly get brave?" "I'm going to skate over to you and push you over." "You won't do anything." "Am I right?" "Little piggy... watch out..." "Look." "Come on." "The teacher's coming." "He'll be mad." "So are you just going to stand there?" "What's going on over there?" "Oskar!" "What are you doing?" "Come on." "POLICE" "Yes, it is." "Now he's coming." "They've called from school." "And you can talk to your dad, because I..." "Hello?" "I'm okay." "I don't know." "Come up?" "We'll see." "Hey, Oskar." "So you're going to swim after all." "I'm just kidding." "We're not allowed to be here, really." "This cellar is the best place." "We can do whatever we want." "You know, 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 he had to go to the hospital." "Oskar?" "Huh?" "Hooray!" "What were we going to do?" "We're going to mix." "It doesn't hurt at all." "All you have to do is prick your finger." "Eli?" "Eli?" "Go!" "Get out of here!" "Damn it, they had to saw through that ice." "What the hell are you worrying about?" "Interrogation, and stuff." "Interrogation!" "Maybe they'll put me in one of those rooms... and shine a light on me..." " Jocke and I, we were this close..." " I'm sorry, I can't do it." "In fact... it is actually a duty to testify." "Hell." "I have nothing left... now that he's gone." " But Lacke..." " Stop that shit!" "Don't give me your goddamn "Lacke, Lacke."" "You don't understand shit." "You're cold, fucking ice cold!" "You handled that just fucking great, Lacke." "Virginia!" "Wait!" "Can't we talk about it?" "Listen..." "Help me!" "Help me!" " Get the fuck off her!" " Help me!" "Ginia?" "Wait up!" "What's going on up there?" " I didn't see that one." " As usual." "Now I'll get you." "You can always dream." " We have a guest." " Hello to you." "So... you're sitting here having a good time." "Yes." "So Oskar is here." "Dad?" "It's your turn." "Yes, yes." "But we have a guest now." "You have it nice and warm in here." "So there was some at home, after all." "TO FLEE IS LIFE, TO LINGER, DEATH." "YOUR ELI" "It went wrong, you see." "I had figured it out so it would be perfect." "Maybe there was something wrong with the set square, or the ruler, or..." "Nothing to be scared of, kitty." "And it was more and more wrong." "And now I walk around and it feels like..." "Awful lot of traffic this evening!" "Come in!" "Ginia!" "Where the hell have you been?" "What are you doing?" "I need to talk to you, damn it!" " We've been so fucking worried!" " No!" "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?" " Let us out, you bastard!" " Let go of me!" "Help!" "Oskar, is it you?" "Yes." "Are you a vampire?" "I live off blood." "Yes." "Are... are you dead?" "No." "Can't you tell?" "But are you... old?" "I'm twelve." "Though I've been 12 for a long time." "Are you guys poor?" " You see the egg there?" " Mm-hmm." "If you sold that you could buy a nuclear power plant." "It's true." "Oh." "Sure." "Put your finger here." "Those rings... where did they come from?" "I'm going home now." "I'm going to deliver chocolates tomorrow." "To earn money?" "Um-hmm." "But you can have money from me." "Here." "Take it if you want." "You've stolen it!" "As soon as they're dead, right?" " It was given to me." " By whom?" "Different people." "I want to go home now." "If I may." "Dad's stamp collection." "His whole life." "One stamp... 80,000." "80 big ones!" "Sometimes I tried to be interested." "I said, "I won't tell."" "He just said, "No, there are others." "Thank you very much."" "There isn't a prettier place." "Larks, potatoes..." "Lacke, you have to help me!" "Of course." " That child." " Yeah?" "She must have infected me." "I don't want to live." "Good morning!" "This looks good... you'll be able to go home today." "Good." "I'll just open this... and take a little blood sample." "There." " Sir?" " Yes?" "Could you open the shutters, please?" "Sure." "Give me the cap." "Give it to me!" "Are you stupid?" " Hi." " Hi." "What's up?" "Can I borrow the keys?" " Why?" " I'm going home." "Sure." "Here." "Thanks." " Hi." " Hey." "You have to ask me in." "What happens if I don't?" "What happens if you come in anyway?" "Is there anything in here?" "Tsk-tsk-tsk..." "Tsk-tsk-tsk." "No!" "You can come in!" "Who are you?" "The same as you." "What?" ""What are you looking at, huh?" "Are you looking at me?" "Then squeal like a pig!" "Squeal!"" "That was the first thing I heard you say." "I don't kill people." "No... but you'd like to, if you could." "To get even." "Right?" "Yes." "Oskar, I do it because I have to." "Be me a little." "Please, Oskar... be me a little." "You can borrow a dress from my mom." "Oskar, can you open?" "Coming!" "I'm in the bathroom." "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" "No!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Thank you." "Oskar..." "I have to go." "WHO MURDERED THE MAN IN THE ICE?" "Hello." " Oskar, are you there?" " Yeah." "It's Martin." "Teacher was wondering if you're coming to practice tonight." "How come?" "Don't know." "He was just wondering." "Maybe he wanted you to come." "I don't know..." "By the way..." "I think it was good, what you did to Conny." "He needed it." "Damn, he's good at acting!" " You think so?" " Yes." "You coming to training tonight?" "POOL" "Hi, Oskar." "Hi." "Hey, Oskar." "Hey." "Now we'll start water exercises." "Hurry up!" "Come on, Oskar!" "Vamos, vamos!" "Uno, dos, uno dos... keep going!" "What?" "Damn it!" "Call the fire department!" "Fire!" "Get out of here!" "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." "Do that, and it's just a little scratch." "If you don't..." "I'll cut out your eye." "An eye for an ear, okay?" "But... it's impossible." "That's your problem." "Three minutes." "Breathe now!" "Five... four... three... two... one." " Jimmy..." " Shut up!" " Let's get out of here." " Shut up, I said!" "K-u-s-s"
