Quotes5

  • Anja: Poor troll... no father, nor a mother, he was my other.
  • Lion: Not poor, my dear, but wicked and cruel. I made the palace, I also made the door.
  • Prince: You are my true bride.
  • Anja: Am I? Then let no one else ever kiss your cheek.
  • Prince: Never. Never ever.
  • The Storyteller: Never he says, never ever. But I'm sorry, hurt lurks, pain prowls, sorrow simmers.
  • Storyteller's Dog: Why, what happens, does the troll come back? Oh, no!
  • The Storyteller: No... well, yes, in a manner of speaking... yes, he does.
  • Troll: Oh... dear, oh dear, the palace is here but Anja didn't do it. There is being a contradiction. And when there's being a contradiction, we have to speak with our friend, don't you think?
  • [holds up his contradiction stick]
  • Anja: I don't know, probably.
  • Troll: Very probably; certain, in fact!
  • Anja: Let me catch a light.
  • Troll: A troll can see perfectly clarified!
  • Anja: It's magic, Your Majesty. It cannot be sold, only exchanged.
  • Trollop: Exchanged, for what? Be more clarrified.
  • Anja: A night with your betrothed.
  • Trollop: [gasps] With my new ornaman? Rageous!
  • Anja: Then you must keep what is yours and me what is mine.
