- Conductor: [Gunnar has recently pulled the emergency brakes after seeing a man outside the train dressed up as Santa] Okay, my dear mister. You've crossed the line. Mutilating a war veteran, sure. Food poisoning war prisoners? That's okay - we can all have a bad day. But playing with the emergency brakes? It can be all the bloody christmas it wants. I hope you have a really, really good excuse for this!
- Gunnar: I saw Santa Claus!
- Conductor: How are you?
- Soldier: Oh, I'm fine thanks. I'm heading to my father for christmas to help him put on a new roof. He's gotten so afraid of heights since he was put in a wheelchair. It will be very nice. I haven't seen Uppsala for years.
- Conductor: Uppsala? But this train goes nonstop to Berlin.
- Soldier: Berlin? Oh, I must say! There's no end to the surprises on this journey!
