| Heidi | Hey yo John. Lot's of congratualations on your girlfriend! |
| John | Yes, thank's a lot. Very sweet of you. But to be honest: I still find it weird. |
| Heidi | Weird? |
| John | Yes, that Dutch people always congratulate everyone when someone is having birthday. |
| Heidi | Don't they do that in your country? |
| John | No, of course not. We congratualate only the one who's having birthday. |
| Heidi | Yes, well, know that you mention it. It's quite weird indeed. |
| John | But you know what I like? Those flowers! |
| Heidi | What do you mean? |
| John | Well, look, if you want to give someone something and you can't think of something, you just give a bunch of flowers. |
| Heidi | That quite convenient indeed. But tell me, what else do you find strange about Dutch people? |
| John | Oh, I could write a book on that. On how you eat fries, on your bicycles, on your political parties, your toilets, your tolerance... |
| Heidi | Well, I don't know if we're that tolerant. I have to admit that it often looks like we are, but perhaps it's really just indifference. |
| John | Do you think so? |
| Heidi | It doesn't interest us what someone believes, what someone's sexual preference is, what someone smokes or drinks as long as someone pays. |
| John | And do you know the most interesting thing about Dutch people? |
| Heidi | Well? |
| John | Their self-critisism |
