Quotes 

• Ville Alfa : You've got something wrong with your head?

  Manne : Who wouldn't have?

• Manne : [when finding out that it is possible to make a direct phone call from Finland to Paris]  Blessed the technology!

• Harri : [after being beaten up Manne places a loosen tooth in his car's ahtray]  So you put the tooth in there.

  Manne : So I did.

  Harri : Odd bargaining... It is not my business at all, but...

  Manne : [interrupts]  Just a moment of silence to honour it, please!

• Manne : [stops a car]  I'm a bad person, I'm a nasty person, an unpleasent person. I believe my liver is sick. Could you give me a ride to the airport?

• Manne : [Manne arrives at Baari Bar]  Good morning, Vasili! Small coffee!

  Vasili : That's all?

  Manne : A glass of calvados, and water

  Vasili : With calvados you get salad of the day.

  Manne : That's illegal!

  Vasili : Only if you get caught. You order so little nowadays.

  Manne : That's because of my high personal morals.

  Vasili : Little more of morals like that and I'll have to close this place.

  Manne : Put these on my tap.

  Vasili : It's illegal to sell on credit.

  Manne : Not if you don't get caught. Do you want my coat as collateral?

  Vasili : That one? I'd have to hire a man to guard it. It's on the house.

  Manne : Thank you.

• Manne : How's business.

  Manne : Lousy. Every time I manage to sell something some pig sells me more. I never make any money.

  Manne : Buy cheaper and sell dearer.

  Ville Alfa : Good idea! Very good idea! Would you do so?

  Manne : Not me, but other dealers.

• Harri : [Manne phones to Harri]  American Express, it's me!

  Manne : I decide to come.

  Harri : What if a spring storm blows you away?

  Manne : A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. When are you starting?

  Harri : I've already started. I've planned to drink plenty today.

  Manne : All right! I'll come as old age.

  Harri : I understand. I ask Juippi to slaughter the fatted calf. Auf Wienerschnitzelf!

• Manne : [checking a painting]  I knew it

  Ville Alfa : Is it a fake?

  Manne : No. How did you get his?

  Ville Alfa : I bought it from a hysterical woman who needed a ticket far away. I gave here all I had, over 2000 marks. She said she got it from her mother. That's what they always say.

• Manne : Have you seen Veera?

  Vasili : Veera? Why?

  Manne : I saw here this morning.

  Vasili : I dont't want to know what happened?

  Manne : She was as beautiful as a freeway at night.

  Vasili : And just as fast?

• Manne : Perhaps we'll meet again.

  Veera : Perhaps we can't avoid it.
