Bjurman
I feel a bit badly about how we left it last time.
Me too. [shocks him unconscious with a taser]
How come a 23-year-old is a ward of the state?
I'm mentally incompetent and can't manage daily life.
Since when have they said that?
Since I was twelve.
What happened when you were twelve? I'm sorry, that's none of my business.
I tried to kill my father. Burned him alive. Got about eighty percent of him.
I made some coffee.
I guess I must have alarmed you, turning up like that.
If you touch me I'll more than alarm you.
That won't be necessary. Your report. Very detailed. But for me, it wasn't very entertaining.
It wasn't meant to be.
When I write about people I try to entertain the reader.
Wennerstrom wasn't entertained much.
Your boss, Armansky, he tells me you only do jobs that interest you. So I suppose I should be flattered. You gonna sit down? He also says that you're the one he goes to when the job is sensitive. That's the word he used. Sensitive. I'm gonna use illegal. Because that's what it was when you hacked into my computer. I'm not gonna do anything about that. I could, but I won't. What I'm gonna do is tell you a story and if it entertains you maybe you'll decide to help me research further. And if not'll do the washing up and you'll never see me again. Here, you should eat that. [hands her a sandwich]
What kind of research?
Lisbeth — can I call you Lisbeth? I want you to help me catch a killer of women.
What are you doing?
Reading your notes.
They're encrypted.
Please. Have some coffee.
Okay, and we're going to have a very serious conversation about what's yours and what's mine.
What's wrong with you?
It's embarassing.
Tell me.
I need to borrow some money. [Blomkvist reaches for his wallet] Fifty thousand. I have a chance to make an investment; it's a smart, safe investment.
I really don't think I've got 50,000.
Yes you do. You have 65,000 in your two accounts. I'm sorry I know that.
You live there? Your house?
Oh! Yes. You're right. The man who hires the detective should always be kept on the suspects list.
Detective Isaksson
Ms. Salander, I hope you don't mind me asking, but when was the last time you ate?
I have a high metabolism. I can't put on weight.
Isaksson
I'm asking because it is better to look at what I'm about to show you on an empty stomach.
Harald Vanger
I'm not a recluse. I don't close my door to anybody. They just don't visit.
Harald Vanger
Why should I hide the past? I'm the most honest of all of them.
Your family?
Harald Vanger
Sweden.
You know what's harder than hitting someone with a gun? Just missing them. It was a very good shot, up at the cabin.
Well it didn't work. I'm still here.
Mikael, it did work. You're here.
I like working with you too.
Just one second! [orgasms, collapses] What were you going to say?
[about Blomkvist]
He's had a long standing sexual relationship with his co-editor of the magazine. Sometimes he performs cunnilingus on her. Not often enough in my opinion.
Before he died, your brother hung me from a hook...Harriet.
Do you doubt anything I've said? Do you doubt the reports that have followed me around all my life? What do they say, if you could sum it up? They say I'm insane. It's alright, you can nod. Because it's true. I am insane. Nod.
