• Bo Swedenhielm : Mammi, I haven't had a bite to eat all day and now I'm simply famished.

  Marta Boman : I understand completely.

  Bo Swedenhielm : Come here, dear.

  Marta Boman : So, what do you want, little one?

  Bo Swedenhielm : You know what I mean to say before I even think it. One sandwich with Russian caviar, one with salmon, one with sardines, one with roast veal and cucumber, five with tongue and lots of cheese. And one cold beer and a small glass of liquor would be nice.

• Rolf Swedenhielm j:r : Not one word about the Nobel Prize. Mutti, I'm sure we won't get it this year either.

  Marta Boman : They don't give out Nobel Prizes for being crazy.

• Marta Boman : As for what's honorable and what's dishonorable, do you really know the difference?

  Bo Swedenhielm : Sometimes it's hard to know.

  Marta Boman : Yes, that's what I mean.

• Marta Boman : One must take care of oneself, that's the best thing to do. And one should earn one's money by honest means. That's better in the long run.

  Astrid : Listen, Mammi. You sound more like the Swedenhielms than the Swedenhielms themselves.

• Marta Boman : Can't you invent things without behaving like a pig?
