- »Hei kaulakas, annatkos sen vihkosen Anja-tädille.» Laina koki tulleensa puhutelluksi. Että korkeintaan varhaiskeski-ikäisen ihmisen nimi oli Anja ja että hän siitä huolimatta viesti äänellä, jossa ei ollut mitään anteeksipyytävää tai pidäteltyä. Se oli hurjaa.
- "Hey long-neck, could you hand that booklet to auntie Anja" Laina felt she was being talked to, that the name of the woman, at best early middle-aged, was Anja and that she still talked at a voice without any forgiveness or restraint. That was wild.
