Quotes 

• Helena Ekdahl : That poor German woman he's married to. How could he have fallen for her? It must be something erotic. What do you think?

  Isak Jacobi : Erotic? Yes, perhaps.

• Helena Ekdahl : Are you sad because you've grown old?

  Isak Jacobi : I'm certainly not. Everything's getting worse. Worse people, worse machines, worst wars, and worse weather. I'm glad I'll soon be dead.

  Helena Ekdahl : You're an incorrigible old misanthrope and always have been. I don't agree with you.

  Isak Jacobi : I thought as much.

• Helena Ekdahl : Do you remember when we sat there on the sofa kissing madly? You had unbuttoned my blouse, and something else too. Then suddenly the curtain was drawn aside, and there stood my dear husband. It was just like a play by Feydeau. I screamed and you made for the door. He rushed off to get his pistol, with me hanging on his leg. You became friends for life.

  Isak Jacobi : Your husband was a greathearted man.
