There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

When you heard the line for the first time:

Ooh yes. Yes-yes-yes-yes. This is a keeper.

Police in The Netherlands: "We will have some fun while solving this crime. We may even put some sprinkles on the bread if the bird is good."

Police in America: "The bird looked like it was going to shoot us so we shot it first. And everyone in the bank too just to be safe. Why don't you respect us?"

That bird was a fixer for the cartels, just caught in a random assignment. He later became a stool pigeon, if the rumors are to be believed, hence the need for anonymity.

Dutch = Netherlands

Danish = Denmark

At least the northern Belgians speak the same language as the Dutch but don't act the same as them

Hats off to Belgium.
