- Nina: The people bring their culture here. Eventually, everybody will have the same culture. It'll take a long time, of course. You don't have to go to Pakistan, you can just go to Grønland in Oslo east.
- Tosif: Have you been to Pakistan, Nina?
- Nina: No.
- Tosif: No. You know, they don't sell kebabs in Pakistan, if that's what you mean. And it stinks in Pakistan, but not in Grønland. There's a huge difference between Grønland and Pakistan.
- Berit, school counsellor: Think of something nice.
- Cristin: In connection with the school? Holidays, recess, time to myself.
- Berit, school counsellor: Haven't you had one positive experience at school?
- Cristin: Not really.
- Berit, school counsellor: What about the swimming lessons? You were such a good swimmer.
- Cristin: I was bullied in the first swimming lesson.
- Berit, school counsellor: But after that?
- Cristin: I never went to a gym class again.
- Berit, school counsellor: But surely you must see in the mirror that you're quite pretty now?
- Cristin: I don't grade myself.
- Berit, school counsellor: No, but enjoy the progress. You'll lose your puppy fat and get more and more attractive. You're in bloom.
- Erik, teacher: You can do it if you try. You have wasted so much energy by refusing to do any work.
- Kazim: No, I haven't.
- Erik, teacher: Imagine what you could have been if you had been doing your maths! But it's too late now.
- Kazim: What? Is it too late now? Why?
- Erik, teacher: The exams are in a week and a half.
