"I crumpled them and put them together with our cans, and put them in a new bag." "You can't just take things of people's cars." "This is a misunderstanding." "Yes, it's all because my wife is foreign, right?" "Perhaps more than just foreign?" "What do you mean?" "Look, allow me to explain!" "There's a Thai woman who's been rummaging about in the bins here and I thought that this woman, who you say is your wife, was the woman from Thailand!" "She's not Thai!" "She's Japanese!" "There's just so little difference between them." "I mean, to the amateur observer, you see." "Look, I gave her ample opportunity to explain ...but she...just didn't speak clearly enough!" "Not clearly enough?" "She's been here for ten years!" "She speaks fluent Icelandic!" "What the hell didn't you understand?" "She didn't speak Icelandic to me..." "I'm listening to this nonsense a moment longer." "I'm taking that bag and you can be thankful that I'm not taking this any further!" "No, wait." "Will you accept my sincere apologies." "Ah, Now that's..." "I'm really sorry..." "I simply misinformed..." "Well, that's good to hear." "Yes, it was one of my staff who told me." "I see." "Actually, not this one." "It was the other one..." "Excuse me." "Might I just..." "Shut up!" "Olafur." "Shop!" "Er...would you have a word with..." "Yes, alright!" "What is it?" "Talk to who...?" "One of my subordinates." "It was he who drew my attention to this woman who you have now verified is your wife." "What?" "Nothing!" "And don't you dare interfere in such matters again!" "Hey Georg, that was ridiculous." "She was..." "How much do you think we've lost on these cans now?" "This is going on your tab!" "And I'm tripling the amount!"
