Jakkelsen: Everyone thinks you're a cop. Is that what you're doing here, spying on me?
Smilla: Actually, I came for a quick fuck, but you spoiled it by talking.

[On the subject of love]
Smilla: I've been trying to avoid it all my life, so now it's here I just want to renounce it.

Smilla: The only thing that makes me truly happy is mathematics. Snow, ice, and numbers.

Elsa Lubing: The Devil assumes many forms.
Smilla: It's one of those forms that I'm looking for.

Mechanic: Smilla, why does such a nice person have such a rough mouth?
Smilla: I'm sorry I've given you the impression it's my mouth that's rough. I try to be rough all over.

Tork: Death is always a waste. But sometimes it's the only way to arouse people.

Smilla: The number system is like human life. First you have the natural numbers. The ones that are whole and positive. Like the numbers of a small child. But human consciousness expands. The child discovers longing. Do you know the mathematical expression for longing? The negative numbers. The formalization of the feeling that you're missing something.

Smilla: The way you have a sense of God, I have a sense of snow.

Jakkelsen: No way. I get claustrophobic. I'm not kidding.
Smilla: You're not going. I am.
Jakkelsen: I get claustrophobic for other people too man.

Smilla: I don't say this to hurt your feelings but you really stink.

Smilla: I don't celebrate Christmas, it doesn't mean anything to me.
