Halla: Isn't that egoism, to think it will change the world?
Ása: The drop hollows the stone.
Halla: The stone? The mountains are falling on us, we don't have time to wait for drops.
Ása: Now you're going to save a child and the entire world with it. Isn't that a small drop or is it just vanity?

Halla: People will understand. I've planted the seeds, it can't be stopped.
Baldvin: They don't want to stop it, but to control it. They will control the discussion.
Halla: What will be discussed? The real issues.
Baldvin: Who will tell us what the real issues are?
