- Vera Segert: Gustaf. Gustaf. Can't I... Can't we... I made such a mistake.
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: I'm sorry, Vera.
- Vera Segert: Oh, but Gustaf... Just for one tiny little mistake?
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: Which one are you referring to?
- Vera Segert: Why that miserable little Robert... Oh, who else were you thinking of?
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: I was thinking of George.
- Vera Segert: Oh, I hate George now.
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: And wasn't there a man named Eric?
- Vera Segert: Oh Gustaf, next week is our anniversary.
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: You celebrate it, dear. I'm afraid I can't.
- [first lines]
- Police Matron: [Photographer's flashbulb goes off] That's a fine trick. You know the prisoner's afraid of fire.
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: I'm a scientist, not a clergyman. I go by the evidence of things as they are, not as I might like them to be.
- Lars-Erik Barring: [Anna enters Lars' room. Nearly trips, then steps, over toys on floor. Snowball hits her shoulder. Lars sliding on snow stops at open window] I slipped.
- Anna Holm: You certainly did.
- [Lars groans as she pulls him into room through window then closing it]
- Anna Holm: Take off those wet boots.
- Lars-Erik Barring: Who are you?
- Anna Holm: Your new governess. You want to catch cold on my first night?
- Lars-Erik Barring: [Stubbornly] Yes!
- Anna Holm: [Drops Lars into chair, kneels down, now face-to-face] You're a mean one, aren't you?
- Lars-Erik Barring: Yes!
- Anna Holm: [Snatches off cap] Well, so am I.
- [Lars grins broadly at her now]
- Anna Holm: What are you smiling at?
- Lars-Erik Barring: [Looking sideways at Anna] You couldn't be mean...
- [Now face on, leaning into her]
- Lars-Erik Barring: You're too pretty.
- [last lines]
- Bailiff: The judge also suggested that Dr. Segert might like to come along with the prisoner.
- Anna Holm: You find what?
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: Perhaps you could tell me?
- Anna Holm: Oh, no; you're the expert. Turn on your lights.
- Dr. Gustaf Segert: No, unfortunately for humanity, the light hasn't been invented yet that could look into that interesting heart of yours.
- Torsten Barring: Do you like music? Symphonies, concertos?
- Anna Holm: Some symphonies, most concertos.
