Blomkvist
How come a 23-year-old is a ward of the state?
Salander
I'm mentally incompetent and can't manage daily life.
Blomkvist
Since when have they said that?
Salander
Since I was twelve.
Blomkvist
What happened when you were twelve? I'm sorry, that's none of my business.
Salander
I tried to kill my father. Burned him alive. Got about eighty percent of him.
Blomkvist
[quietly]
Oh.
Salander
I made some coffee.
