Quotes

Oscar Ekdahl , Gustav Adolf Ekdahl , Carl Ekdahl : [singing] Hey, Christmas gnomes, Let's raise our glasses and be merry, Hey, Christmas gnomes, Let's raise our glasses and be merry, Our time on earth is brief, Full of toil and grief, Hey, Christmas gnomes, Let's raise our glasses and be merry!
-
Carl Ekdahl : I feel like a cold coming on. My throat hurts when I swallow. My teeth are tingling.
-
Lydia Ekdahl : Come, Carlchen. Come and sit by me.
Carl Ekdahl : You smell bad. Have you given up washing, or are you starting to rot?
Lydia Ekdahl : No. I don't smell bad at all. You have olfactory hallucinations.
-
Carl Ekdahl : How is it one becomes second-rate? Can you tell me that? How does the dust fall? When has one lost? First I'm a prince, heir to the kingdom. Suddenly, before I know it - I'm deposed. Death taps me on the shoulder. The room is cold - and we can't pay for kindling. I'm stupid and unkind. And I'm most unkind to the person who cares for me. You can never forgive me. I'm a shit and a cad.
Lydia Ekdahl : If you'd like, I'll make you a hot toddy.
Carl Ekdahl : Don't be so damn servile! Wipe your mouth. Your lips are always wet. It's disgusting! I don't mean to be unkind.
Lydia Ekdahl : I know that, mein Liebling.
-
Carl Ekdahl : Oh, life! Insomnia, poverty and humiliation. Stretch out your hand and you grope in the emptiness. Why am I such a bloody coward?
-
Carl Ekdahl : Nothing troubles you. I strike you and you kiss my hand. I spit on you and you forgive me. You're repulsive! I can't stand your love. I have to get away from you. You'll have to go back to Munich. We're getting a divorce. I want to finally be spared seeing you, smelling you, listening to your damned gibberish. I'll be spared your solicitude, your anxious eyes, your cloying love.
Alexander Ekdahl : When you're sad and unhappy, you always talk like this. I don't care anymore. You know that.
Carl Ekdahl : I want to sleep. Maybe I'll dream of a sweet-smelling female body - with small breasts and narrow hips, long legs, dark hair, and cheerful personality. Her legs and arms are wrapped around me, pressing herself against me. We make love. Her flesh is firm and generous. Damnation! Old age, prison, disgust!
