• Margit : Jónas, Jónas.

  Jónas : What's the matter?

  Margit : I've seen my mother.

  Jónas : Where?

  Margit : By the sea, and on the heath. I couldn't remember before. But now I do.

  Margit : No. There aren't any people there anymore. They are all gone.

  Jónas : Will you ever go back?

  Margit : Katla says we'll stay here. That we are from here now.

  Jónas : But you can't change where you are from.

  Margit : But what if where you are from isn't there anymore?

  Jónas : Then you can be from here, but your sister can't be.

  Margit : Why not?

  Jónas : But I don't want her to be.

  Margit : But she has to be.

  Jónas : No, she can't be. I don't want her to be. No she can't be. I don't want her to be. She can't be. I don't want her to be. No. She can't be. I won't let her.

• Katla : You should remember I'm carrying your little brother.

  Jónas : He won't be my brother.

  Katla : Your father is the father. So he will be your brother.

• Jónas : You're a witch, you're a dirty witch.
