In the Portuguese localization, ▶️ "Awesome! I mean... Whatever..." is replaced by "Que foda! Digo... Tanto faz...", which uses profanity and translates to "Fuck yeah! I mean... Whatever..."
In the Latin Spanish localization, ▶️ "Ahh, Viego... is okay. I mean, he's whatever... I guess." is replaced by "Ah... Viego, es un papucho. ¡Digo! Es... como sea. Supongo." ("Ah, Viego, he's so hot and attractive. I mean! It's... whatever. I guess."), that is a reference to a quote said by Doris in the Latin Spanish dub of the Shrek 2 film ("¿Bromeas? Es un papucho. Su cara parece tallada por los mismos ángeles."). The quote has reached meme-status in Spanish-speaking communities.
