Dutch quotes

Lorelei's Dialogue	Mariana's Dialogue	Region
Lorelei “Op z'n best is dit Splatfest zo vers, raak niet gestresst van de ultieme test!” (At best, this splatfest is so fresh, do not get stressed out by the ultimate test!)	Mariana “IK HOOR JE NIET ZO GOED IN DIT LAWAAI. HET KLINKT HAAST ALSOF JE ONZIN RAPT.” (I DO NOT HEAR YOU SO WELL WITH THIS NOISE. IT ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF YOU ARE RAPPING GIBBERISH.)	NOE
Lorelei “Mariana, ons optreden hier is uitverkocht!” (Marina, our performance here is sold out!)	Mariana “OOOH! Wat staan we hier dan te staan, we moeten repeteren!” (OOOH! What are we still standing here then, we have to rehearse!)	NOE
Notes: "Staan" with "te" forms a continuous aspect. Although it carries an implication of standing, this is vague and is not strictly required or emphasized. The use of "staan" in a similar way to Marina's line creates a meaning along the lines of "just standing doing nothing".
Lorelei “Basketbal zou veel stoerder zijn als je het met schelpen zou spelen.” (Basketball would be much tougher if you would play it with clams.)	Mariana “Die sport bestaat al, Lorelei.” (That sport already exist, Pearl.)	NOE
Lorelei “Wat zijn de drie meest gênante woorden in het Inklings?” (What are the three most embarrassing words in Inkling?)	Mariana “Uitgeschakeld door: Inktsprinkler.” (Eliminated by: Sprinkler.)	NOE
Lorelei “Het is belangrijk dat je de basket niet verwart met het net van Schelpenstrijd!” (It is important that you do not confuse the basket with the basket of Clam Blitz!)	Mariana “Als je die dingen verwart, heb je niet schelp genoeg gekeken.” (If you confuse those things, you have not looked sharply at things enough.)	NOE
Notes: "Schelp genoeg gekeken" is a pun on "schelp" (shell), or how Clam Blitz's clams are called in Dutch, and "scherp kijken" (to look sharply at).
Lorelei “Mariana! Kun je even onder de basket gaan staan?” (Marina! Can you stand under the basket for a moment?)	Mariana “Wil je naar me superspringen zodat je ook eens kunt dunken?” (Do you want to Super Jump to me so that you can dunk once too?)	NOE
Lorelei “Denk je dat kwallen kunnen dunken?” (Do you think that jellyfish can dunk?)	Mariana “Nou ja, ze kunnen hun tentakels zo gek uitrekken... Wie weet helpt dat...” (Well yes, they can stretch their tentacles so crazily... Who knows if that helps...)	NOE
Lorelei “Dit level is zo ontzettend KIEUWL!” (This level is so incredibly GILLIO!)	Mariana “Probeer je het nou nog steeds? Ik zeg het je, "kieuwl" gaat echt niet aanslaan.” (Are you still trying it? I am telling you, "gillio" is not going to catch on.)	NOE
Notes: "Kieuwl" probably comes from "kieuw" (gill) and "cool".
Lorelei “Lorelei! Ik ben het mengpaneel aan het instellen! Kun je even niet rappen?!” (Pearl! I am setting up the mixing console! Can you not rap for a moment?!)	Mariana “Haha! Grappig hoor, Lore. Echt heel grappig. Echt totaal niet vervelend.” (Haha! How funny, Pearlie. Really very funny. Really not annoying at all.)	NOE

Perle « « Tu veux bien te taire une seconde, Perle ? Je fais mes réglages ! » » (“Can you spare a second, Pearl? I’m regulating myself!”)	Coralie « Haha, décidément, c'est toujours aussi drôle après la dixième fois... » (Haha, decidedly, it’s always funny after the tenth time...)	NOE

Social Media

“	Our tireless research has resulted in a thrilling discovery! Yes, today we learned that Inklings play basketball! The existence of a new stage, Goby Arena, indicates that Inklings may even play the sport competitively. As you can see, the details of the sport have been fairly well preserved. The arena is complete with a full-size locker room, polished wooden court, concession stands, jumbotron, VIP seating, and memorabilia shop. Furthermore, it appears that the arena is converted into an ink-battle stage during the offseason, and this unique location should make for exciting battles indeed. We suspect that the mid-court area, along with the two basketball hoops on each side of the court, will be a focal point for all battle types. Gaining control of the hoop on your side of the stage will give your team the high ground you need to push forward. We’ll continue to closely monitor this new development and will provide updates in due course.	”
— Live From Squid Research Labs

“	Goby Arena is a brand new stage set within a basketball court. It's a state-of-the-art stadium, complete with a huge overhead monitor, food court, VIP seating, and even a souvenir shop! There's a hoop at each end of the court - no matter if you're playing Turf Wars or a fierce Ranked Battle, bringing these two hoops under your team's control can give you a serious strategic advantage. Goby Arena will be added to Splatoon 2 soon, and there are more stages on the way. Stay tuned...	”
— Squid Research Lab Bulletin (Nintendo Switch news channel for Splatoon 2)

“	Goby Arena is a brand new stage coming to #Splatoon2 soon! It's a state-of-the-art basketball arena with a food court, VIP seating and more.	”
