- Ärni: Well, OK. Be afraid of your husband and the parents of your husband. But don't be afraid of one thing - don't be afraid of work! Because the wife has to feed her husband and six children!
- [first Ärni starts to cry, then everybody else]
- Ärni: [in an angry voice, but still crying] Will you stop this weeping!
- [Aadu drives by in a Volga and sees that John and Kohviveski's car has broken down]
- Aadu: Need help?
- John: Uh?
- Aadu: Need any help?
- [John looks confused]
- Aadu: [gives John his calling card] Maybe... Sometimes... Our roads will cross? Eh? Chu-chu-frey!
- [drives away]
- John: [reads from the calling card] Aadu Kadakas psy... Psychiatrist...
- Kohviveski: John, I'll jump!
- John: No, pumpkin, you... You won't do it!
- Kohviveski: Yes, I will! And I want to see, if you hire an orchestra to play at my funeral, or not!
- Villager: What does she do there?
- Aadu: [looks through a hole] What does she do, what does she do! She is staring at the ram!
- [she has been playing with the children and is now bored]
- Kohviveski: [to the children] Run away, run away, run!
- Kohviveski: [after the children have ran away] Don't run so much!
- Aadu: [to Kohviveski] But you! I'll make a song out of you! From there you'll never get out! And people start to show you from the television set for big money!
- Kohviveski: [exitedly] Ah! From the television!
- Kohviveski: [singing among the children] In the harbour, the night is so beautiful! In the harbour, the girls are beautiful too!
- [the children start to sing along]
- Kohviveski: [stops singing] Who taught you songs like that? Children mustn't sing songs like that! Children should sing such songs...
- [continues the same song]
- John: Landlord, do you have some beer? I've always been a joker and a tippler!
- [Ärni looks at him with a strange face]
- Kohviveski: John, let the water out!
- [John starts to unzip his trousers]
- Kohviveski: From the car, you idiot!
- [Ärni has put on his old suit and is going on a date with Lõke]
- Ärni's wife: [surprised] Where are you going? To the elections?
- Ärni: In a human being, everything must look nice!
- Kohviveski: [to Aadu] Although you are a total oaf, when I'm dancing with you, I feel like we were equal!
- Aadu: My daughter is studying philosophy in Tartu.
- Kohviveski: Oh, you're married?
- Aadu: What, you think that my child's a bastard?
- Kohviveski: Oh! How vulgar!
- Aadu: Look, the authorities are good now, but from the children they demand so much - study, study, study all the time!
- Aadu: [to Kohviveski] But why are you so big from the centre? Don't you think, how wonderful it would be if we could put our arms around each other?
- [Mart has just found out that Liina wants to marry Timmu]
- Mart: You know, Aadu... I want to cry!
- Aadu: Go ahead, sonny! Crying is the best thing in the world! A real man must cry really hard once in a lifetime!
- Mart: I wanna cry a big one into a soft pillow right now!
- Aadu: Go ahead, sonny, go ahead!
- [puts Mart's head into his lap]
- Aadu: Well, start crying now!
- Mart: But I don't have a pillow!
- Aadu: Don't have a pillow?
- [calls Lõke]
- Aadu: Hey, Lõke! Come here! You hold the boy's head and I'll go and find him a pillow!
- [Lõke comes, Mart puts his head into her lap and Aadu runs quickly away]
- Timmu: [after smashing the storehouse's door] Do you want to marry me?
- Liina: Yes!
- Timmu: [running around the yard] She wants! She wants! She wants!
- Ärni: Say what?
- John: [to Ärni] She... She doesn't want!
- Ärni: [to John] Not you! Who wants what?
- Liina: Daddy, I said "I do"!
- Ärni: What? To whom?
- Liina: To Timmu. He came to my room last night, golden Moon was shining on his back...
- Ärni: Would you say the heart of the woman! She thinks that the guy was wearing a Moon on his back!
- Ärni: Liina said "I do"!
- Ärni's wife: [scared] Are you mad?
- Ärni: Me? I don't want to get married, *she* does!
- Ärni's wife: What? With whom then?
- Ärni: With Timmu.
- Ärni's wife: For goodness sake! He is so pitiful and weak!
- Liina: But very sweet!
- Ärni: [angrily to Timmu] So, you're taking away my last daughter, eh?
- Ärni's wife: [to Ärni, after grabbing Timmu and pushing him against her chest] Don't yell at the child!
- Timmu: [quietly] Well, I am a bit happy too!
- Ärni's wife: [to Ärni] You see!
- Ärni: [sarcastically] You don't say!
