The Girl in the Spider's Web Quotes

Husband: Who the hell are you?

Lisbeth Salander: [Lisbeth knocks the massive statue in front of her, which has been hooked up to a rope that goes around the man's foot and pulls him up hanging upside down] I'm a fan of yours. A CEO who beat up two prostitutes, but then got acquitted in court yesterday.

Husband: Get me down!

Lisbeth Salander: And now I'll be transferring 20% of your bank account to these two girls...

Wife: You won't get away with this, I'm calling Delta Security!

Lisbeth Salander: ...the rest I'm transferring to your wife. Account number?

Husband: Don't!

Wife: 5-1-9-1-2.

Lisbeth Salander: Good. Take your child and leave, he won't hurt you again. As for you, your friend Mr. Chan has bankrolled your company for years. You also carried out an affair with his wife. Isn't this her?

[Lisbeth shows him footage on her phone of him having sex with Chan's wife]

Husband: YOU BITCH! I'll make you fucking pay for this, you cunt!

Lisbeth Salander: Shut up! Now hear this, the video is in my possession on this phone. If you try to contact your wife again, or if anything unexpected should happen to her, this video will be sent to him! Got it?

Husband: [after being tased by Lisbeth and left suspended upside down] Who are you? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Lisbeth Salander: You can't blame me for leaving that day.

Camilla Salander: That day? This is not about a day. This is about a lifetime. Are you not Lisbeth Salander, the righter of wrongs? The girl who hurts men who hurt women? All those lucky ladies. Wives, mothers, sisters. I could never figure it out. Why did you help everyone but me? For sixteen years, every day, you chose not to save me.

Lisbeth Salander: I couldn't go back.

Camilla Salander: Why?

Lisbeth Salander: I don't know.

[She pauses as a tear rolls down her cheek]

Lisbeth Salander: [sets up chess board] You play whites. Your father taught you?

August Balder: He's dead now. Maybe I shouldn't think of him anymore.

Lisbeth Salander: Why not?

August Balder: Because that's the past. He once said, the past, sometimes, can be like a black hole. If you get too close... it might pull you in. And you disappear.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

August Balder: I don't want to disappear.

Lisbeth Salander: You won't.
