- Manne: [when finding out that it is possible to make a direct phone call from Finland to Paris] Blessed the technology!
- Manne: [stops a car] I'm a bad person, I'm a nasty person, an unpleasent person. I believe my liver is sick. Could you give me a ride to the airport?
- Manne: [Manne arrives at Baari Bar] Good morning, Vasili! Small coffee!
- Vasili: That's all?
- Manne: A glass of calvados, and water
- Vasili: With calvados you get salad of the day.
- Manne: That's illegal!
- Vasili: Only if you get caught. You order so little nowadays.
- Manne: That's because of my high personal morals.
- Vasili: Little more of morals like that and I'll have to close this place.
- Manne: Put these on my tap.
- Vasili: It's illegal to sell on credit.
- Manne: Not if you don't get caught. Do you want my coat as collateral?
- Vasili: That one? I'd have to hire a man to guard it. It's on the house.
- Manne: Thank you.
- Manne: How's business.
- Manne: Lousy. Every time I manage to sell something some pig sells me more. I never make any money.
- Manne: Buy cheaper and sell dearer.
- Ville Alfa: Good idea! Very good idea! Would you do so?
- Manne: Not me, but other dealers.
- Harri: [Manne phones to Harri] American Express, it's me!
- Manne: I decide to come.
- Harri: What if a spring storm blows you away?
- Manne: A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. When are you starting?
- Harri: I've already started. I've planned to drink plenty today.
- Manne: All right! I'll come as old age.
- Harri: I understand. I ask Juippi to slaughter the fatted calf. Auf Wienerschnitzelf!
- Ville Alfa: [Ville wakes up when Manne has pushed him] Don't push me! Aren't you afraid that my shoulder might come loose.
- Juippi: Leaving is the most important thing.
- Anna-Kaarina: Why don't you leave then?
- Juippi: You want me to leave, woman?
- Anna-Kaarina: I guess not.
- Juippi: You don't sound too convinced.
- Manne: [checking a painting] I knew it
- Ville Alfa: Is it a fake?
- Manne: No. How did you get his?
- Ville Alfa: I bought it from a hysterical woman who needed a ticket far away. I gave here all I had, over 2000 marks. She said she got it from her mother. That's what they always say.
