• Jacob : Isn't Dina going to dine with us?

  Dina's Father : No. She takes her meals in the kitchen.

• Dina's Father : Jacob owns the biggest merchandised establishment in the whole county. He is a wealthy man.

  Dina : He can wipe his ass with his money.

• Jacob : [Dina got scared of her husbands' behaviour and has climbed up a high ladder during her wedding. Wedding guests watch as her husband and her father are trying to get her down]  Come down Dina! Please, on my knees! Come down, I beg you!

  Dina's Father : Get down here right now! What are you? Crazy? Do you want to ruin your whole wedding?

  Dina : You beast!

  Jacob : Yes I know, I know...

  Dina : You are like a stallion, you!

  Jacob : No! It won't happen again!

  Dina : Oh, no?

  Jacob : Come down now, I promise.

  Dina : And you expect me to believe that?

  Jacob : I swear to God.

  Dina : Well, that demands witnesses.

  Jacob : [Jacob calls out to the whole crowd]  I, Jacob Groenelv, swear by almighty God, that I will never again carry on like a stallion!

• Dina's Father : He's to be called Jacob of course?

  Dina : You can brawl all you like, it will be as I say.

• Dina : When she feels bad, she screams. Do you still hear her?

  Dina's Father : Oh, yes... I hear her... I hear her every single day.

  Dina's Father : Dina, please...

  Dina : Tell me the truth, Father! Tell me what you feel.

  Dina's Father : What I feel? I feel... nothing.

• Dina : I'm tired of all your accusations. Niels probably had a reason to hang himself. It was his decision.

  Dina's Father : It's strange, Dina, how people always die around you.
