- Hänen nimensä on Marja-Leena. Se on asiallinen nimi. Se sopii henkilölle, joka tekee asiallista työtä. Siitä ei tule mitään asiaankuulumattomia mielleyhtymiä. Ei edes minulle.
- Her name is Marja-Leena. That's a proper name. It suits a person who does proper work. It doesn't remind me of anything inappropriate. Not even me.

- ―Peli menee heti poikki, jos siltä vaikuttaa, Marja nousi seisomaan ja harppoi pöydän ympäri. Hän olisi ennemminkin sopinut Marja-Leenaksi, koska oli huomattavan pitkä.
- ―We'll stop it right there, if that's what it seems like, Marja stood up and strode around the table. She should've rather named been Marja-Leena, so remarkably tall was she.
