Quotes 

• Halla : Economic sabotage.

  Ása : It's extremism, which breeds extremism. He who Jives by the sword, dies by the sword.

  Halla : But no one has been hurt, except our country and our planet.

  Ása : It's not the right way to solve this problem.

  Halla : Meditating in some convent, will that change something?

  Ása : It will change me and thus the world I hope.

  Halla : Isn't that egoism, to think it will change the world?

  Ása : The drop hollows the stone.

  Halla : The stone? The mountains are falling on us, we don't have time to wait for drops.

  Ása : Now you're going to save a child and the entire world with it. Isn't that a small drop or is it just vanity?

  Halla : At least I'm doing something for someone else.

• Ása : You don't need anyone else. You know that you can do it. You're the mom and nothing will stop you.

  [stands up from the bench and faces Halla] 

  Ása : What did mom always say?

  Halla : Yeah.

  Ása : Yes, say it.

  Halla : Moms can do anything.

  Ása : [laughs]  No, the other thing.

  Halla : Find solutions.

  Ása : Exactly.

• Baldvin : This is not a joke. Some American has taken over the investigation and Israelis too. They're analyzing the paper. Why did you use an old typewriter? It can be traced.

  Halla : Stop. No one will trace it.

  Baldvin : Why didn't you let me read it before?

  Halla : I just had to get it out, the timing was crucial. And then the girl came...

  Baldvin : [interrupts]  But there are weak points they will tear apart.

  Halla : Like what?

  Baldvin : The laws about laws... You're opening up a very dangerous angle, they will totally deform it.

  Halla : People will understand. I've planted the seeds, it can't be stopped.

  Baldvin : They don't want to stop it, but to control it. They will control the discussion.

  Halla : What will be discussed? The real issues.

  Baldvin : Who will tell us what the real issues are?
