2012, Youp van 't Hek, Liegangst, De Bezige Bij, →ISBN, page 99:Daarom maakt Ceesje zich nu heel breed om de bijna failliete kruidenier nog een stevige poot uit te draaien. Hij moet nog wat afbetalen en wil dus een diamanten handdruk. Ik was in zijn geval met een grote AH-diepvriestas over mijn hoofd de winkel uitgesneakt. Na zo'n debacle durfde ik geen dubbeltje meer te eisen.- That's why Ceesje is now acting like the big man to try and extract some more money from the nearly bankrupt supermarket chain. He still had some down payments to make so he wanted a golden handshake. In his shoes, I would have sneaked out of the store with a big AH-branded insulated bag over my head. After such a debacle I wouldn't dare to claim even a dime.
