Quotes 

• Bob Holcomb : You speak excellent English for a Swede.

  Karin Granstedt : Thank you! And you speak excellent English for an American.

  Bob Holcomb : [slight pause]  Touché.

• Bob Holcomb : When you're raising a daughter without the help of a mother, you feel twice as responsible. I've been doing it since she was five.

  Karin Granstedt : She told me.

  Bob Holcomb : I've seen her through dolls, roller skates... and those braces on her teeth. For about 4 years, she looked like she'd swallowed a TV antenna.

• Karin Granstedt : I thought you liked Erik?

  Bob Holcomb : Not when he talks like he's buying an automobile and he's not gonna' buy one unless he "tries it out."

  Karin Granstedt : Bob, the world is full of Eriks!

  Bob Holcomb : Yeah? Well, nobody's gonna' chalk up any mileage on JoJo, without getting a driver's license first!

• Bob Holcomb : So this is Hotel Idyllan?

  Karin Granstedt : No, this is a summer resort for young people. I want you to see how innocent and wholesome everything is.

  [just then a hot babe in a skimpy bikini walks by them, causing Bob to turn his head and watch] 

  Bob Holcomb : Okay, it's a wonderful place. So let's get on to Hotel Idyllan.

  Karin Granstedt : No, after lunch. I want you to see how our young people enjoy sports. The accent here is on athletics.

  [Bob watches as a young man and woman in bathing suits run by, hug and kiss, then run on] 

  Bob Holcomb : What do they specialize in here? Deep breathing? Think of all the years I wasted on golf!

  Bob Holcomb : [another hot young couple in bathing suits frolicks past them]  What was that? The 100-yard dash, or the running broad jump?
