- Lisbeth Salander: You can't blame me for leaving that day.
- Camilla Salander: That day? This is not about a day. This is about a lifetime. Are you not Lisbeth Salander, the righter of wrongs? The girl who hurts men who hurt women? All those lucky ladies. Wives, mothers, sisters. I could never figure it out. Why did you help everyone but me? For sixteen years, every day, you chose not to save me.
- Peter Ahlgren: Who the fuck are you?
- Lisbeth Salander: [Lisbeth knocks over the massive sculpture in front of her, which has been hooked up to a rope that goes around the man's foot and pulls him up hanging upside down] I'm a fan of yours. I watch you on the news. Peter Ahlgren, a CEO who beat up two prostitutes, but got acquitted in court yesterday.
- Peter Ahlgren: Put me down... What are you doing?
- Lisbeth Salander: I'm accessing your bank accounts.
- Peter Ahlgren: Call security!
- Lisbeth Salander: I'm transferring 20% of your bank account to these two girls... The rest I'm transferring to your wife. Account number?
- Peter Ahlgren: Don't!
- Linda Ahlgren: 5-1-9-1-2.
- Lisbeth Salander: Take your child and leave, he won't hurt you again.
- Peter Ahlgren: I can undo all this tomorrow.
- Lisbeth Salander: Mr. Chen has bankrolled your company for years. Isn't this his wife?
- [Lisbeth shows him footage on her phone of him having sex with Chen's wife]
- Lisbeth Salander: If you try to contact your wife again, this video will be sent to him. If anything unexpected should happen to her, this video will be sent to him.
- Peter Ahlgren: You fucking bitch!
- Peter Ahlgren: [after being tased by Lisbeth and left suspended upside down] Who are you?
- Lisbeth Salander: You should ask yourself that question.
- Lisbeth Salander: I couldn't go back.
- Camilla Salander: Why?
- Lisbeth Salander: I don't know.
- [She pauses as a tear rolls down her cheek]
- Lisbeth Salander: You chose him.
- Frans Balder: They say time is the fire in which we burn. I'm running out of it.
- Lisbeth Salander: Yeah.
- Lisbeth Salander: [sets up chess board] You play whites. Your father taught you?
- August Balder: He's dead now. Maybe I shouldn't think of him anymore.
- Lisbeth Salander: Why not?
- August Balder: Because that's the past. He once said, the past, sometimes, can be like a black hole. If you get too close... it might pull you in. And you disappear.
- [inhales and exhales deeply]
- August Balder: I don't want to disappear.
- Lisbeth Salander: You won't.
