- Alma: You were right, Anton. We will never get any flycatchers. Besides, it's animal cruelty. Because I know what it's like to be stuck in that sticky goo.
- Krösa-Maja: Am I meant to stand here until the sun goes down?
- Emil: Why don't you climb down?
- Krösa-Maja: Don't you think I've tried. But with my old legs it's impossible.
- Emil: But you did get up.
- Krösa-Maja: Because I was chased by a mad ram. That's different!
- Berättare: Krösa-Maja came from time to time to Katthult to help with the washing and sausage curing and stuff like that. And to scare Emil and Ida with her horrible stories about mylingar and ghosts and revenants. And murderers and thieves and other pleasantries that Krösa-Maja knew a lot about.
