Someone coming. That way.

Lacke: "Thanks for yet another evening steeped in friendship and merriment."

Two of them. Take them both. Plenty of blood. No, don't be stupid.

Lacke: "Good night, old buddy."

That boy is going out there again. He is alone. Get closer. What is he doing there? Smell him. Smell his blood. No, I just want to see what he is doing. So hungry.

What! Where is it? How could you forget it? You idiot! Hungry.

"You're supposed to help me!"

That boy from next door is going outside. Who is he talking to? I didn't think there was anyone else there. He is alone. So who is he talking to? Stay hidden. He must not see me. Why is he trying to scare that tree?

Is the cab driver looking at us? No, he's just driving. I should remember to just act like a little girl. Maybe I should hum to myself. Why are you smiling at me Håkan? Are you acting too? Do you think it means something to me? You're not my father. You're not even my friend. I have no friends.

I thought it would be a good exercise to write an inner dialog for Eli in each of the scenes in the film where she is present.

For Eli

Let the Right One In, both the film and the novel, are told primarily from Oskar's perspective. The novel, especially, focuses on Oskar's inner thoughts and feelings as his love for Eli unfolds and he gradually comes to know and accept her.
