     -- Jeg troede, han var jeres kollega, sagde Annemette. -- En ugudelig bladneger fra Expressen kan ikke være kollega med Peter. Peter er verdens frelser. Hvis han ikke er Gud, er han i hvert fald pave Peter af Rom.

     I thought he was your colleague, said Annemette. -- An ungodly sheetnigger from the Express cannot be Peter's colleague. Peter is the savior of the world. If he's not God, he's at least pope Peter of Rome.
