- Ilona: I started as a dishwasher, then kitchen maid, then waiter until I got to be a head waiter. I could still be a waiter.

- Ilona: I'm thirty-eight.
- Ravintolapäällikkö (restaurant manager): There you go. You could drop dead any moment.
- Ilona: You're over fifty yourself!
- Ravintolapäällikkö (restaurant manager): That's different. I got contacts - and you smoke. You got life insurance?
- Ilona: You wanna arm wrestle?
