Halfdan the Black
- Halfdan the Black: Look, I'm not an unreasonable man, Thord Andersson, but this is the second chance that I've given you.
- Prisoner: But I'm a poor man, sir.
- Halfdan the Black: Yes, but it's not just me, you see. A lot of people depend on this money. I really can't give you a third chance, I'm so sorry.
- Halfdan the Black: [to his henchmen] Er, would you please behead him? Please?...
- Prisoner: Oh no! Take all my sheep, all of them.
- Halfdan the Black: Oh, that's a good idea. Take all his sheep.
- Halfdan the Black: [to his henchmen] Er, just cut his hand off.
- Prisoner: Oh, Thank you my lord! Thank you a million thanks yous. You can cut them both off if you want! Thank you very much.
- Halfdan the Black: What's the matter? Haven't you seen anybody fight before?
- Bjarni: No. They're usually too scared of us.
- Loki: Erik and the men of Ravensfjord are setting off to cross the Western Ocean.
- Halfdan the Black: Lucky things! I could do with a holiday, I can tell you. All this financial work, you know... The stress really gets you.
- [to his henchmen holding a prisoner]
- Halfdan the Black: Um... flay him alive, garrotte him and then behead him.
