Blomkvist

I guess I must have alarmed you, turning up like that.

Salander

If you touch me I'll more than alarm you.

Blomkvist

That won't be necessary. Your report. Very detailed. But for me, it wasn't very entertaining.

Salander

It wasn't meant to be.

Blomkvist

When I write about people I try to entertain the reader.

Salander

Wennerstrom wasn't entertained much.

Blomkvist

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]

Salander

What kind of research?

Blomkvist

Lisbeth — can I call you Lisbeth? I want you to help me catch a killer of women.
