We are the troll company, we don’t let anyone go free!
Let the Right One In“We are the troll company, we don’t let anyone go free!” is a line from Rune Andreasson’s Bamse the Magic Forest that serves as the epigraph and heading for Part Four. Its placement introduces the section beginning on Sunday, 8 November, while the evidence identifies its source but does not specify who speaks it within the comic or what particular group it describes.
Source and Wording
The line is attributed to Rune Andreasson’s Bamse the Magic Forest, identified as a popular Swedish children’s comic book. It is presented in the book as a complete declaration: “We are the troll company, we don’t let anyone go free!” The wording names a collective and states its refusal to release anyone, but the cited passage supplies no further explanation of the company or its actions.
Placement in the Novel
The phrase appears at the opening of Part Four, where it is printed both as the section heading and as an epigraph credited to the comic. The part is dated Sunday, 8 November. It follows a passage in which Oskar falls asleep after feeling someone stroke his cheek, and the narrative then turns to the new part and its motto. The text establishes this transition and placement, without explicitly explaining the line’s connection to the events that follow.
