"What are you doing?" "You like to do drugs." "Calm down, Vandevoorde." "Here you have nothing to say." "Customs?" "French people who do it." "I'm not excited." "You should try getting angry." "I like to see you wild - weakling!" "Don't insult me!" "You're a weakling, a little weakling." "Go away or I'll arrest you." "On what grounds?" "You've come across the border with drugs!"

"Why are we together?" "Sometimes I wonder that too." "I hate you." "Wait..." "Louise." "Get off me." "See?" "Just like your brother." "Same Belgian attitude." "What about it?" "All stupid." "Wait, Louise!" "You're on something." "I feel it." "I'm so ashamed, father." "Fear not." "The Lord guides the straying sheep." "Even if I shot a Frenchman?" "You shot a Frenchman?" "It is not the shooting itself, but when I hit him and he fell  I felt a great... satisfaction." "A kind of joy." "A kind of ecstasy." "That's evil father." "Heaven, where does this absurd French hatred come from?" "Father ..." "Yes, my son?" "No, It comes from my father." "Love your neighbor as yourself." "God has commanded." "I know, father." "But if my neighbor is French I cannot." "Physically impossible." "If your hate persists   I cannot give you absolution, For you do not show contrition in confession." "I'm really sorry." "You'll go straight to hell." "Forever." "I go to hell forever?" "You may not pass through the Customs of Paradise." "Can I never enter paradise?" "Sure." "But" " With such a sinful soul you cannot." "Damn..." "Attention, Gentlemen." "Miss!" "Excuse me, Bakari." "Go ahead." "We're listening, Vandevoorde." "Well..." "I am genuinely sorry about what happened." "I went too far." "I was wrong." "I should not have insulted you." "I was not thinking clearly." "Excuse me." "I am also sorry." "My apologies." "No problem." "Good." "Incident handled." "Now the Mobile Customs Team."

"Report at 9 AM here for the briefing." "Why not in Belgium?" "It can alternate!" "Complicated." "Easier to do it here." "In No Man's Land then - which is neutral." "OK, No Man's Land." "And this is the dining room." "With room for sixty." "What are they doing now?" "It's a Meeting." "Customs meetings, and no one orders anything?" "But you always say yes." "No." "Except to me." "Want to see the apartment?" "We know that the removal of Customs will lead to more drug traffic." "We share the responsibility." "You'll be alone in the field." "No assistance." "Believe me, it's a new game." "What is that?" "Mobile phone." "This first is for you." "See how small it is?" "Very small." "Great." "Use sparingly." "It costs a fortune to use." "Your training will cost 40,000 Belgian francs." "That 5,900 French francs." "Is that all?" "Yes." "One weeks training, which will not take place." "Why?" "We had to purchase an emergency vehicle with the budget." "For 5,900 Francs?" "What kind of vehicle?" "What is that?" "Ridiculous." "The third member of the team," " Grizzly."

"What?" "What the hell am I doing here?" "The world is changing, and we follow." "No, that's different." "The world is broken, and so are we..." "We have a 'Stop' sign." "Have you broken down?" "Border Patrol, sir." "Really?" "Why, "really?"" "It looks like you've broken down, or are lost." "We are Customs and at work." "Customs still exist?" "We are now mobile." "Now get out." "We'll prove Customs still exists." "Do not upset because he is French." "He seems very French." "He's laughing in our faces." "No, he asks if we still exist." "I know I still exist, but in this land - nothing!" "Well... he's gone." "What are you doing!" "Do that again!" "Don't shoot." "He fleeing." "You can't just shoot him." "OK." "What do we do now, Mister Smartass?" "His registration record." "Or we go after them, but we don't shoot." "We are now in France." "French laws, I decide." "I suggest:" "Following." "What do you think?" "In that?" "Are you upset, darling?" "No, you know." "Your brother's got a nice fellow, Vanuxem." "He's nice, but I'm looking for someone I love." "I never see you with a man." "I must tell you something." "What, you like women?" "You're a dyke?" "You do not say 'dyke', but 'lesbian'." "You're a lesbian." "I did not say that." "Why do you and Vanuxem not...?" "I do not feel like it." "He's "mixed race", you know?" "Flemish and Walloon." "A true Belgian." "You're kidding me..." "everything is about Belgium to you." "The true Belgian." "You're annoying."

"I am crazy about you." "I love you." "What is it?" "I hear you beyond." "Your sister wants me drink French Water." "Why buy it?" "The water is fine." "Tastes dirty." "Give him Belgian waters." "Thanks, Ruben." "Let me taste." "You're right." "Stingy." "With a dry finish." "Dry water?" "That's Logical!" "You talk such drivel." "Do not talk to me in that tone." "Apologies, great savior of the nation." "What?" "You're the great defender of Belgium, until your last breath." "Stop it!" "No!" "I'm tired of your paranoia and racism." "Racism?" "Patriotism Is not no racism, Daddy?" "Of course not." "Enough." "Stop." "You know what you need?" "A good man at home." "Vanuxem." "Good idea." "That 's enough." "Where you going, sweetie?" "Home." "Italian coffee, coffee maker from Taiwan, cups from Limoges." "Gingerbread from Belgium." "Hypocrites!" "What do you want?" "I wanted to see you." "What are you doing with my brother?"
