| Man pat savā ziņā patīk šie nakts darbi, kaut gan daži izvēlas par tiem žēloties. | I kind of enjoy these all-nighters, whereas some choose to complain about it. |
| - Hipotētiski... Es viņai pateikšu, ka visu laiku žēlojos par mašīnu, tāpēc tu ļāvi man ieiet naktsklubā, un tu ieraudzīji, ka aizdomās turamais man seko, un tev nebija citas iespējas kā man sekot. | See, I would tell her that I wouldn't stop complaining about the car, so you let me go into the nightclub, and you witnessed the suspect enter after me and had no choice but to follow. |
| Tātad, tu tagad žēlojies par Lindu? | Okay, so you're complaining about Linda? |
| - Un tu tikai žēlojies! | - And all you do is complain! |
