• Mattis : I have my child!

• Mattis : You stay here and keep a guarding hand on Lovis. What's so funny?

  Skalle-Per : I'm to keep a guarding hand on Lovis?

  Mattis : Yes. In case a brute comes, or such.

  Skalle-Per : If a brute comes and takes on Lovis, then I'd have to keep a guarding hand on the brute instead!

• Mattis : He is lacking me!

• Mattis : Take your son, Borka. But you cannot return a child to me, for I don't have one.

  Borka : What are you saying?

  Mattis : I'm saying you can have your son back. But you can't return a daughter to me, for I don't have a child.

  Lovis : But I've got one! Even though the child's father has gone more than a little bit crazy.

• Skalle-Per : Vargklämman is snowed in, not a robber will get out all winter.

  Ronja : Snowed in? But how am I supposed to meet... I mean, how am I supposed to get out into the woods?

  Mattis : You won't get there until spring comes, Ronja mine.

  Lovis : What a nuisance. Twelve snowed in robbers, and then you to top it off Mattis.

• Mattis : [when Ronja is going into the wilderness for the first time]  And beware of falling into the river.

  Ronja : What do I do if I fall into the river?

  Mattis : Then you swim!

  Ronja : Alright then...
