Arvid Quotes in In China They Eat Dogs (1999)

Richard: Come with me, Arvid. You're going to heaven with me.

Arvid: Heaven? What about the rock musicians? I killed a whole rock band!

Thomas Berger: What?

Arvid: It means you don't know who your friends are.

Peter Müller, Thomas Berger, Arvid: Tain't what you do it's the way that you do it. Tain't what you do it's the way that you do it. Tain't what you do it's the way that you do it. That's what gets me through.

Arvid: Ya, well, might as well forget it. 200 riksdaler. I'll never have that much.

Robert: You don't have it?

Arvid: I will go anyway. We can travel to America on foot.

Robert: Nah, there's an ocean. You can't go on foot to America.

Arvid: Do you mean there is no way?

Arvid: Damned ocean.

Arvid: Last year the parson asked who our lords and masters are. But, I couldn't answer him.

Robert: All of our lords and our masters, besides our parents, are those God has ordained to have a fatherly power over us...

Arvid: Is that the truth?

Robert: Do you know how many lords and masters we have over us - in the whole world?

Arvid: Nah.

Robert: The first is the King, Oskar the First; the second is the Governor; the third is the Chief Constable; the fourth is the Sheriff, Lönnegren; and the fifth is his Deputy; and the sixth will be the Parson; and the seventh, Aron, our master.

Arvid: Why, that's a lot of lords.

Arvid: I think I sell myself as a slave when I'm in America.

Robert: Its forbidden for whites to get sold as slaves.

Arvid: Forbidden? But, you were just saying that America's a free country?

Robert: Ya. But, still that is forbidden, I'm afraid, for whites, that is.
