- Sandman - Student: I can't wait to be rid of this misery. Boy, am I going to sleep then! Sleep and eat and forget all about this place. Let's get some cigs.
- Sandman - Student: Wouldn't it be great to have a bed like the one in the movie? And a nice dame too.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: You think?
- Sandman - Student: You bet. A table filled with grub and booze, that bed and a dame. I wouldn't get up for two weeks. I'd just eat and sleep and make it with the broad.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: I'm going to write and play the violin all the time, once I'm out of that hellish place.
- Sandman - Student: I suppose you want a girl who's pure and innocent.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: Yes.
- Sandman - Student: They don't exist.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: Really?
- Sandman - Student: All women are tramps. And if they're not, they want to be. Nietzsche and Strindberg both say so.
- Sandman - Student: When you turn over a stone, you find nasty creatures underneath. Caligula isn't a genuine swine. He's a nasty little venomous creep.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: I don't believe a person can be all evil.
- Sandman - Student: You're still an adolescent. Just wait. You'll see how rotten everything is.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: You must think I'm a real fool.
- Sandman - Student: Nonsense. You're the only one I can talk to. You can't help it if you're an idealist who believes in innocent women.
- The Headmaster: [to Caligula] Just listen to me. I'm old enough to be your father. Our profession is a vocation. That means it's a calling, something that comes naturally. Your academic qualifications and years of service alone don't make you a teacher. You don't know the first thing about boys! There's something called heart and joy. A bit of kindness and understanding. But you don't have enough of those to feed a flea! If you were a special case, it wouldn't be so bad. But you can be found in every school! And not just schools but everywhere else! A tormentor of human beings, that's what you are!
- Caligula: Caesar hostem aggressus devicit. Widgren?
- Jan-Erik Widgren: Caesar defeated the enemy.
- Caligula: Example of what?
- Jan-Erik Widgren: Participial construction.

- [Widgren fails to answer]
- Caligula: Didn't you prepare for the lesson?
- Sandman - Student: Hello, my dear Carmen.
- Bertha Olsson: Hello. What will it be - a cola?
- Sandman - Student: Ha!
- Bertha Olsson: You know I can't sell tobacco to schoolboys.
- Bertha Olsson: You see that star?
- Jan-Erik Widgren: It seems to hang far below the sky on an invisible string.
- Bertha Olsson: It's been a great company to me. If you only knew how lonely I've been.
- Jan-Erik Widgren: Lonely? Who hasn't been lonely.
- Bertha Olsson: I used to stand at the crossing, watching the trains. Don't laugh. I'd imagine myself on one of those trains one day. A sweet young woman in a bell-shaped skirt and a funny hat, with no luggage.
- The Headmaster: Gentlemen, please take the seat corresponding to your number. Would Bergman and Ström please approach.
- Voice on the Radio: According to observations, this occurs approximately one week later than in the south.
