Michael Maguire: Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm

Quotes 

• Madame Arnfeldt : Are you addressing me, sir - whoever you may be?

  Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm : I am, madam.

  Madame Arnfeldt : Then be so kind as to repeat yourself. Judging from the level of the conversation so far, you can hardly expect me to have been paying attention.

• Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm : Why don't you pay a visit to Marta's little school friend, Anne?

  Countess Charlotte Malcolm : A-ha.

  Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm : She probably has no idea what her husband's up to.

  Countess Charlotte Malcolm : And I could enlighten her? Poor Carl-Magnus; are you that jealous?

  Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm : A civilized man can tolerate his wife's infidelity, but when it comes to his mistress, a man becomes a tiger!

  Countess Charlotte Malcolm : As opposed, of course, to a goat in rut. Ah, well... if I'm back in two hours, that still leaves us three, right?

  Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm : You're a good wife, Charlotte. The best.

  Countess Charlotte Malcolm : That's a comforting thought to take to town with me, dear. It just may keep me from cutting my throat on the tram.
