Probably my favorite line of any of the Austin Powers and one that I quote constantly.

You Scotts sure are a contentious bunch.

I know it's a different reference

Police in The Netherlands: "We will have some fun while solving this crime. We may even put some sprinkles on the bread if the bird is good."

That bird was a fixer for the cartels, just caught in a random assignment. He later became a stool pigeon, if the rumors are to be believed, hence the need for anonymity.

Why, you a Dutch bird?

At least the northern Belgians speak the same language as the Dutch but don't act the same as them

Hats off to Belgium.
