It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

“I've never had a boy in here," Martin said in a serious voice. "I've never touched another man, as a matter of fact. . . .except for my father. That was my duty."

He increased the pressure on the noose and leaned forward to kiss Blomkvist on the lips at the same time that a cold voice cut through the room.
"Hey you fucking creep, in this shithole I've got a monopoly on that one.”
