Quote context

[...]

- Brown knows I'm here, he knows I'm talking to you.

- I said nothing.

- Yeah, but Brown doesn't know that.

- In exchange for information, I'll give you protection. I'll do better than that, I'll put you in jail.

- Suppose you put me in jail. The man in the next cell happens to have a gun. Boom! One dead Swede.

- Thank you very kindly, I'll remain stupid.

- How did you get in here, sir? The store is closed. I'm late for an appointment, if you'll excuse me.

- The secret you think keeps you safe will blow up in your face.

- You're dealing with a ruthless man.

- I was a seaman for 30 years. I went to sea aged 14. I've seen storms, I've seen gunfire, and I've seen torpedoes.

- I've been wrecked not once, four times! On a raft, 37 days, nothing but water.

- Nothing kills me. I'll die in Stockholm like my great-grandfather, aged 93.
