Quotes 

• [Leif Olsson has fallen off the roof and is dangling forward and back in the cable he was trying to install] 

  Ivar Olsson : [commenting on the TV]  Now it's good... now it's bad... now it's good... now it's bad...

• Ivar Olsson : [showing his palm, which is transparent]  Look, Lillan. Do you know what this is?

  Lillan Olsson : 'Course I do. It's ectoplasm. It's ghost mucus.

• Spöket Staffan : The Count wanted the Princess to marry him, but she said that he wasn't her type, and disagreed.

  Ivar Olsson : [sarcastically]  The Interest Club takes a note.

• Leif Olsson : [carrying the parabole on his head]  I'll be on the roof, kids. You keep things under control down here, right?

  Ivar Olsson : [saluting]  Yes, Mr. Chantarelle!

• Melitta Olsson : But what if the Count makes a ghost out of you too, like he did with Jean and Staffan?

  Ivar Olsson : It's a risk I have to take.

• Melitta Olsson : [about Dioda]  How come she can't talk?

  Lillan Olsson : Well, she's been locked away for a long time, maybe she just forgot how to speak.

  Ivar Olsson : Yeah, I forget my English vocabulary in a week!

• Ivar Olsson : [thinking]  I have to talk to her. But what am I going to say? "Hi, handsome, you wanna hang out and play video games." No, not that! "What's a princess like you doing in a castle like this?" No, that's not good either! I know! "Do you want to come with me and read The Phantom?" No, no, no! Why does she have to be able to read my mind? Hey, wait! If I wear the saucepan over my head, she can't hear my thoughts! That's good.

  [puts saucepan on his head] 

  Ivar Olsson : [Princess Dioda walks in] 

  Princess Dioda : Hi, Ivar. Why do you have that saucepan on your head?

  Ivar Olsson : [removes the saucepan and thinks to Dioda] 

  Princess Dioda : What? ..."The Phantom", what's that?

  Ivar Olsson : Noo! That wasn't what I was supposed to think!

  Princess Dioda : What?

  Ivar Olsson : I was thinking I was going to think what I didn't think. So the thought that I thought was not the thought I was thinking about!

  Princess Dioda : Ivar... I have ears, too.

• Ivar Olsson : [about Måns' scooter]  Have you ever gone faster than this?

  Måns, paperboy : Yeah, once. But the wind was in my back, and I had to take a leak.

• Ivar Olsson : [thinking]  She's so good-looking!

  Princess Dioda : You look pretty good, too, Ivar.

  Ivar Olsson : [thinking]  Huh! She can read my mind! This is so embarrassing!

• Melitta Olsson : [to Ralf]  Hey... you're friend's been to the bathroom for pretty long now, maybe we should go check on him?

  Astrid Olsson : Oh, God, please don't tell me the bathroom door's lock is jammed again! Leif, go check on it!

  Ralf, burglar : No! No. I mean, he's got a very big bladder. You never know how long he'll be in there. Sometimes he has to stand there for days and nights!

  Ivar Olsson : Hey, you just said his bladder was really small. Now you're saying it's big. Make up your mind!

  Ralf, burglar : Uh... yeah! You know, that's the thing with his bladder. Sometimes it's really really big, and then - suddenly! - it's small. Yeah, his bladder is a complete mystery, you never know where you have it.
