I want to once again thank our dear Joe for this translation saying,
Ha válogatsz az ételbe
Ez a tál repül a Fejedbe.
(The scene shows a lady throwing a plate at a man sitting at a dinner table)

If you are picky with your meal then this plate will fly into your lap.
(If it's Fejedbe then it would be at your head!)

** I now believe the word is Fejedbe. So it is:
"If you are picky with your meal then this plate will fly into your head."

and the 2nd saying, thanks to Margo KP

Akármilyen kedves vendég
Három napig
untig elég

No matter how dear the company
3 days is plenty enough

Thanks to both and to all of you.
Gerald KIsabeth
