Well, in this case it was more like:

"Sut mine rådne løg! Knep! Tudefjæs!! Spasser!! Søslange! Du ligner en ged og du lugter af tis!
Du er en kaempe bunke lorte lort! Du lugter af gammel havmåge fisse! Jeg kneppede din mor igår! 
Knækbrød! Smørrebrød!!!"

being subtitles as:

"Shut up, Puk!"

With "Shut up, Puck!" getting way too much screen time.

> Alternatively you could just learn Danish.

Do I look like a savage to you?
