- Opening Title Card: O Värmland, lovely land that you are, with your glittering lakes and distant blue mountains, your deep forests and lively streams! Come with us to the heart of that land!
- Title Card: Doors were open to the Cavaliers. They were men without home or occupation, utter wastrels, noblemen and retired officers, most of them with a shady past, but all of them knights of adventure, of drink and of gallantry. It was men like these, that in bygone days would be received at the great country houses and were permitted to stay as guests - usually for life. In any case, such were the famed Cavaliers of Ekeby.
- Gösta Berling: Cavaliers! Midnight approaches! The witching hour draws near - Now is the time to raise our glasses!
- Gösta Berling: Beerencreutz! Sing to us!
- Beerencreutz: [singing] The brethren may stumble, drunk with wine. My love has forsaken me, but in my heart, she is still mine. I fill my glass to soothe my sorrow, and all my pain will be gone by the morrow.
- Gösta Berling: It is true, I have been a drunkard! But which one of you has a right to judge me? Do you not all get drunk at times?
- Title Card: He wandered over the whole of Värmland, until he found a position as a private tutor with the Countess Märtha Dohna at Borg.
- Elizabeth Dohna: Dio mio, ours last memoria on Italia!
- Henrik Dohna: Our - last - memory - of - Italy!
- Title Card: Ekeby and its six subordinate ironworks were ruled by the most powerful woman in Värmland: the renowned Majoress, Margaretha Samzelius.
- Majorskan; Margaretha Samzelius: A toast to the fair daughter of Italy, who has brought sun and joy to us up far north!
- Gösta Berling: You all mean well, Countess, but for me there is no going back. I am doomed to perish!
- Elizabeth Dohna: No man who is loved by a good woman is doomed to perish!
- Gösta Berling: I am and will remain damned.
- Majorskan; Margaretha Samzelius: Don't you understand that most people in this world are already dead?
- Marianne Sinclaire: Beware or I shall thrust my dagger into your heart!
- Gösta Berling: So, kissing Miss Marianne will cost me my life?
- Marianne Sinclaire: I would like to kill you!
- Gösta Berling: Please do. Strike true! Put an end to my miserable life!
- Märtha Dohna: Do you think that a Cavalier would dare kiss my daughter?
- Gösta Berling: But perhaps your daughter would dare kiss a Cavalier?
- Marianne Sinclaire: I should have known that a Cavalier couldn't take a joke from a lady without bragging about it to the whole world!
- Majorskan; Margaretha Samzelius: Goddamn it, Christian Bergh! There will be no swearing here from anyone but myself!
- Marianne Sinclaire: Don't try to deceive yourself! Beauty you have loved and without beauty you cannot live!
- Gösta Berling: Beyond Löfven lies Vänern, further beyond lies the sea, and even further beyond lies the whole wide world! Let us elope and go there, you and I!
- Gösta Berling: We can neither turn around nor stop. We must race forward! Don't you see what are chasing us?
- Elizabeth Dohna: Wolves!
- Elizabeth Dohna: Mr. Berling, I always believed in you and I still do. Return to Ekeby and rebuild it! And become what I always believed you to be - a man, a true man!
- Henrik Dohna: It should be fully clarified that it is only due to the Italian authorities that Elisabeth and myself have been living in a free relation.
- Märtha Dohna: Would it not be right and proper to first ask Elisabeth if she indeed wants to stay married to you, if she indeed loves you? Think, Elisabeth. Does not our heart convict you of sin?
- Gustafva Sinclaire: Did you, Martha Dohna, never commit worse sins than she did? Don't you think I know you, you depraved hypocrite? You're a fine one to sit in judgment on a young, innocent girl!
- Gustafva Sinclaire: Don't you also feel, Elisabeth, that this blessed Spring, new hope is born within us all?
- Elizabeth Dohna: Love had already struck my heart. Well do I know that disease. I have suffered its torment myself. Since that day I have hated love. It only brings agony and suffering.
