• Mika : You called a taxi?

  Man #1 : No, we called a garbage truck. But you'll have to do the job.

• [Mika has just dropped off last of his drunken passengers] 

  Mika : Are you sure you know where you are?

  Man #3 : Yes. Helsinki.

  [Mika nods and drives away] 

• [when Mika is waking up his passed-out customer] 

  Mika : Hey, Aki, wake up!

  Man #3 : Who the fuck are you? And where the fuck am I?

  Mika : You're in a fucking taxi, fucking close to your home, and you owe me for the fucking ride!

• Mika : My wife and I both work hard. She has a job and I have two jobs. We've been saving money because we want to have a family. A daughter or a son. For a year we've worked at having a baby.

  Man #2 (segment "Helsinki") : Nice work if you can get it.

  Man #1 : Shut up and let him finish.

• Mika : Is he all right?

  Man #1 : No, he's not all right. Didn't he just tell you that he lost his job today? He's all fucked-up and losing his job is just a small part of it.

  Mika : What do you mean?

  Man #1 : Today was the worst fuckin' day of his entire life, that what I fuckin' mean. Or yesterday was.
