Lorelei “Wat doe jij het liefst? Helemaal opgaan in een spannende film?” (What would you rather do in your spare time? Get engrossed in a thrilling film?)	Mariana “Of lekker op de bank met een goed boek?” (Or get comfy on the couch with a good book?)	NOE
Lorelei “Niks tegen boeken, hoor, maar er gaat niets boven films!” (Nothing against books, you know, but there's nothing like films!)	Mariana “Vind je? Alleen met een boek kun je je fantasie helemaal de vrije loop laten!” (You think? You can only let your imagination truly run free with a book.)	NOE
Lorelei “-”	Mariana “En ik heb nog nooit een film gezien die beter was dan het boek.” (And I've never seen a film that was better than the book.)	NOE
Lorelei “O nee, hè. Ben jij zo'n 'het boek was beter'-type? Zo'n cliché...” (Oh no. Are you one of those 'the book was better' types? Such a cliche...)	Mariana “Het is een cliché omdat veel mensen het ermee eens zijn.” (It's a cliche because many people agree with it.)	NOE
Lorelei “Kom op nou. Een boek is maar een saaie hoop woorden op papier.” (Oh, come on. A book is just a bunch of boring words on paper.)	Mariana “-”	NOE
Lorelei “Geen geluid, geen speciale effecten, geen stunts, helemaal niks!” (No sound, no special effects, no stunts, nothing at all!)	Mariana “Boeken hebben ook voordelen. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld in je eigen tempo lezen.” (Books have benefits too. For example, you can read them at your own pace.)	NOE
Lorelei “-”	Mariana “Het is me nog nooit gelukt om tussen optredens door een film uit te kijken.” (I've never managed to watch a full film between performances.)	NOE
Lorelei “Nee, mij ook niet. Dat doe je ook in een bioscoop, met een grote zak popcorn!” (No, me neither. That's what you do in a cinema, with a big bag of popcorn!)
