Nix Erneman
- Nix, David's Daughter: Aren't you afraid of dying?
- Professor Henrik Erneman: Not a bit.
- Nix, David's Daughter: Do you believe in God?
- Professor Henrik Erneman: If by God you mean life, then I do. I believe in this life and the next, in all kinds of life.
- Nix, David's Daughter: But death?
- Professor Henrik Erneman: Just a part of life. How dull if everything was always the same. You die and begin a new life.
- Nix, David's Daughter: Can you operate on a woman and make her a man? The papers say it's possible. Operate on me! I'm sick of being a woman.
- Nix, David's Daughter: Have you seen my hands? I want to make something - not just sun-bathe, read silly magazines and think about love.
- David Erneman: Life at its best is cooperation.
- Nix, David's Daughter: But love's stupid!
- David Erneman: Not the real kind. But to wallow in physical love is to be like the baboons.
- Nix, David's Daughter: Then you're a baboon.
- David Erneman: Maybe.
- Nix, David's Daughter: My best friend Eva, we've always been chums. She was to spend the summer here and we were going to swim and fish and have fun. She's changed and uses lipstick and curlers and wiggles her hips in a swim-suit a size too small. She with her great fat behind! Everything I wanted to do she said was silly.
