He literally says:
"Se til helvete og kom dere vekk! Det er ikke en bikkje, det er en slags ting! Det imiterer en bikkje, det er ikke virkelig! Kom dere vekk, idioter!”

Fyi : google translates to : "
Look to hell and get away! That’s not a dog, that’s some kind of thing! That’s imitating a dog, it’s not real! Get away, you idiots!"
Technically, the “look to” is connected to the rest of the sentence and the hell is just injected. So it’s probably better translated as for fucks sake, but who doesn’t love Norwegian swearing.
