"Spur it on." "Yes, very good." "Come on." "That's better." "Come on." "Gijs, wave to both sides." "OK?" "Every child in Utrecht has to feel Sinterklaas noticed them." "Sit straight, Bas." "You're a noble man." "That's better." "Imagine a string on your head." "Pull it up." "Both sides, Gijs." "Both sides." "Not with your whole body, but dignified." "Bas, do you call that a white horse?" "It's a dirty horse." "Sinterklaas' horse has to be white." "Dear friends, dear family members I speak also for myself when I say it's been an emotional year." "The bankruptcy of our family business the inheritance issue with my sister Felicia that's fortunately been settled the sudden death of my lovely wife Carla, the sex change of my brother Frans..." "It's been quite intense." "You're wearing your work miter." "It's your work miter." "Have you been drinking?" "What is this?" "There's only one Sinterklaas and that's you guys." "If you don't do the same thing in every city, it will be a fiasco." "It seems like it gets worse every year." "You have to move forward." "Being Sinterklaas during the city entries is an honor." "If you do a good job, the kids will believe in Sinterklaas for another year." "That's why we do this." "What's his problem?" " His wife kicked him out this summer." "He lives in the shop now." " Ouch." "Something wrong, Gijs?" "Lots of kids will be looking at you, so you can't make a mistake." "Right." " There goes your miter again." "I can feel it." "It's over here." "Merry Christmas." "Bastard!" "You'll never break another woman's heart." "Roos, no!" "Lunch time." "gift FROM THE HEART" "Thanks." "Roos!" "My name's Mijke." " Whatever." "Are we going out tonight?" "View every inch of my bedroom for old times sake?" "We're having a meeting with the writers for the new season." "Vincent will be there too." "Vincent?" " He's the new bad guy." "Good luck with your new projects." "What will you be doing?" "Everyone tells me:." "Hollywood." "But I want to do something profound:" "Theater." "Something different, in any case." "I'm ready for that." "And ginger nuts for Mr. Kuypers." "Those are spice nuts, dear, not ginger nuts." "Ginger nuts are soft and chewy." "Spice nuts are hard and crunchy." "I'll remember that." " Good." "Have you fed my horse?" " Yes, I just did." "Where is he?" " In the hallway." "Hi, dad." "Want a ginger nut?" " Spice nut, you mean?" "Know-it-all." "Is Niek coming too?" "No, he's busy." "Niek is a good boy." "Always working." "And all you do is partying." "I want to go home!" "Take it all from me." "Well..." "It was my last production day yesterday." "You know, on my daily drama series." "So now I'm going..." "You might like to know this to work in the shop." " When can I leave this place?" "I still have a lot of presents to get I have to instruct the Petes." "I have to inspect the roofs." "Soon, dad." "You can leave soon." "Can't you just take me with you now?" "As far as I'm concerned, yes." "But Niek wants you to stay here for a while longer." "I know that Niek wants what's best for me." "But you don't get it at all." "KUYPERS  SONS COSTUME RENTAL" "This is the biggest size." "Looks good on you." "I'd run if I were you." "Tom, I'm putting you to work right away." "Three racks of tuxedos have to be entered." "Nel will show you how." " Well, doll..." "First check the..." "Voila!" " How's that possible?" "What happened?" " No idea." "Dammit, Tom." "Fake blood." "Good." "I thought I was really dead." " Wise guy." "Niek, how about paid holidays?" " Paid holidays?" "What are you talking about?" "You just started." "Hello?" "Are you Mr. Kuypers?" " Yes." "You rent out Sinterklaases, don't you?" " Yep." "Good." "I want this 20 times." "Can you manufacture that?" "Nel?" " Yes?" "Hello." " Hello, ma'am." "Can you make this?" " That suit?" ""Can you make this, Nel?"" "Of course I can." "What do you think?" "What's it for?" " I'm from US Cola." "We're having an ad campaign for the new Christmas soda Santaman." "What we will do is introduce this younger, healthier Santa during the Sinterklaas period." " Hold on." "During Sinterklaas?" "We're starting a huge media campaign with commercials, posters, print." "Everywhere Sinterklaas is, this guy will be." " We can't do that." "Really?" " Yes, really?" "No, really not." "We're very busy and there's enough commotion around Sinterklaas." "Exactly." "Wouldn't Santaman be a wonderful alternative?" "No, sorry." "No way." "If you change your mind call me." "I'm Julia." "Bye." "Shit." "Man, she's feisty." " Yeah." "And she has weird ideas." "You just don't let a woman like that walk out." "I could do her." "You could do her?" "Is that right?" " Shit." "Lars!" "Can you help these people?" "OK." "How?" "Oh, honey." "Sorry." "Dad forgot you again." "He's always busy at work." "That's OK, mom." "Did you have fun?" "What did you do?" " We did the pinan..." "Pinan sono ichi." " Wow." "There's some very good news:" "Sinterklaas is coming soon." "And then you can put out your shoe." "I know what I want for Sinterklaas." " What?" "I'm only telling Sinterklaas." "You make a wish list and I'll make sure you can give it to Sinterklaas." "Do you know Sinterklaas?" "Yes well, I dated him for a while and was left with a child." "Just leave the cape on the coat hanger." "That's the easiest." "And then you steam it from the inside out." "So start at the top and then move downwards." "At the top and then down." "Am I talking to myself here?" " I'm listening." "You have to listen and watch." "And?" " Karin had picked him up already." "She must be pissed off." "How's your steaming course going?" " Fine." "We're done, I think." "Where are you going?" " Going to see dad." "Do you have to do that now?" " Yep." "You can't just run out in the middle of a workday." "Yes, I can." "Watch me." "Guys, Aunt Julia is back." "Back to the table, quickly." "Sorry." " It's OK." "But if one person can leave the table, they all can." "We believe in liberty and equality in the family." "Or as the French put it:" "Liberte, Egalite and..." "Hopsakidee!" "Enjoy your dinner." "Important phone call?" " One of those Kuypers  Sons." "He's considering supplying those Santas." " Good news." "He wants to meet at Bar Booyah." "That's very hip." "We've never been there." "Finish your plate, though." "If you don't, those monkeys don't have to either." "Carbs, right?" " They're meat balls." "Put lots of cheese on them." "I'm a spaghetti monster." "Do you have a kitchen yet?" "Julia's apartment in New York doesn't have a kitchen." "So how can a man cook for you?" " I go out for dinner or order take-out." "What about men anyway?" " I'm having a career, Floor." "It's a choice." "Champagne?" "Is there somewhere we can talk?" " What?" "Where we can talk in peace." " Yes, absolutely." "There." "It's nothing." "People often think I'm an acquaintance because I have a familiar face." "You have to know how to handle that." "What are you talking about?" "That people mistake a celebrity for an acquaintance." "Celebrity?" "I'm in a daily drama series." "Everyone knows me." "But I also do plays, cartoon voice-overs..." "Hollywood is practically knocking on my door." "But people often forget that I'm also just a boy sitting in front of a girl, asking if she wants a drink." "As I explained, I work for US Cola and was asked to start a campaign here..." "By the way, can I say you're the perfect combination of sexy and cute?" "That's a bad pick-up line." " No, a bad pick-up line is:" "Come here often?" "Either we talk about the campaign..." " Campaign, champagne." "...or I'm going home." " Your home or mine?" "Did you get me all the way over here to talk me into bed or to do business?" "To do business." " OK, let's start over again." "I'm Julia." " My name's Tom." "Hi, dumb." "Our Santaman is nice, modest, good-looking and yet the guy next door." "I have to look for the Dutch version." "What I need from you are those suits, while I go looking for the perfect Santaman." "I think I know someone." "Nelleke, you're able to make this, right?" " Yes honey, but not right now." "What does Nel have to make?" " Those Santa... suits." "They start earlier every year, don't they?" " For which customer?" "For that Julia?" "Could you do her?" " We're a Sinterklaas center." "I already promised." "I can do this." "We start off small." "One entry." " Which entry?" "Yours." " No way." "Tom, it's Julia." "Today's the big day, but you're not here yet." "You should have been here." "Pick up." "Hello?" "I don't know where Tom is." "Sinterklaas can't talk right now." "Tom, where are you?" "The square is jam-packed." "Shit, shit, shit." "Look, there he is!" "Let's look for a spot and you can give him your list." "Sint!" "Pete!" "Sint!" "Sinterklaas!" "Sint, wait!" "Come back!" "My wish list!" "Never mind." "Next time, sweetheart." "Or put the list in your shoe." " No, I want to give it to Sinterklaas." "Santa, good to see you, old boy." "My good friend Santa." "All the way from the North Pole, boys and girls." "And he brought something to drink." "It's going all right, isn't it?" " Is it?" "Someone is very unhappy." "She always looks like that." "She thinks it's great." "Great?" "Did I not make myself clear?" "Santaman is nice, modest, the guy next door." "And you're some kind of Christmas pimp." "I had to attract attention." " Attention, yes." "Not porn." "It's a drink for the whole family." " I saw a lot of thirsty dads." "Why didn't you tell me what you were planning?" "I could have stopped you." "Well, I thought I'd spice it up a little." "Right?" "Sex sells." "Plus, I promised those girls a part in my daily drama series." "You're so incredibly unprofessional." "Sorry, you're fired." " I completely understand." "Our apologies." "I'm going to look for another Santa center." " Doesn't exist." "There isn't." " There is." "I'll find it." "Well..." " Well..." "Very nice, Tom." " Wasn't it?" "What if dad watched it on TV?" "He won't survive it." "What do you know?" "You never visit him." "Because I'm too busy keeping his business going." "There must be another Sinterklaas center." "Did you try Kuypers  Sons?" " They are those jerks." "Hello?" "Stop playing." "Aunt Julia's talking on the phone." "Stop." " Come over here." "Come over here." "A hassle?" "I have to go back to sexy Santa." "He's easy on the eyes." "Just saw him on the news." "If that's your type, yes." "That used to be your type." " When I didn't know any better." "And now?" "My present boyfriend fits in my purse and remembers all my appointments." "Ladies, it's freezing." "Shall I get your coats?" "Very sweet, but we'll be in soon." " You have to." "I miss you." "He's one of the good ones." "He really is." "Want me to find one for you?" "I can be happy without a man, you know." "Hi Nel, I'm going to play." " Hi, sweetie." "Hey, Nel." " Hi." "Girl, you look a fright." "Are you OK?" " Yes, I'm very OK." "I'm going out on a date tonight." "Really?" "So you're going to paint the town red." "I don't blame you." "Karin's going out on a date." "Yeah." " Nice." "With?" " With?" "With a guy." " With a guy?" "Of course." "Where are you going?" " Out for dinner to that fancy Italian." "His treat, so..." " That's nice." "We have to move on." "You agree, don't you?" "Lars can't have chips." "He's already had some today." "Bye." " Bye." "Bye, mom." "Dad, can I have chips?" "I didn't think you'd be back." "I have a new proposal." "My boss is quite taken with Tom's Santa, so the job is his." "But I want you to supervise him." "Maybe we can have a bite to eat tonight to talk about it." "Niek?" " Sure." "That's fine." "There's this fancy Italian place." "No way." " Please." "After that entry it's the least you can do." " You're the one who wanted a child." "I have to go out for dinner." " Have to?" "With a woman?" "You're going out for dinner with a woman." "Good job, bro." "Are you wearing this?" "Let's..." "Shorter and fatter." "Right?" "Let's try this." "What kind of socks are you wearing?" "Something wrong?" " I'm not even going to answer that." "Hand me your phone." "I'll keep it for you." "Wedding ring." " Listen..." "Hand over your wedding ring." "When you're in the restaurant with a beautiful woman you're prohibited..." " Yes, but prohibited from talking about Karin." "Is that clear?" "What are you doing?" "I'm making your dad wear some decent clothes for a change." "Why?" " Well..." "Your dad has to go out and I'll be looking after you." "Can't Nel do that?" "He's always so childish." "No way." " Way." "No way." " Way." "Nel can't do it and Uncle Tom won't act childish tonight." "Way." " He's doing it again." "No way." " Way." "Who's the lucky lady?" " I've been trying to tell you." "It's Julia." "Julia Julia?" " Relax." "We're just going to talk about the job." "She wants to rehire us." "Bye, sweetheart." " Bye." "So why am I not there?" "It's my job." " Well..." "Does my tie look OK?" "Get lost." "Sorry I'm late." " That's OK." "Problem with the babysitter." " Have a seat." "Santa drew a lot of media attention." "There's even a Facebook page called:" "We Love Santaman." "Really?" "Nice." " Social media is important these days." "It's essential that the buzz leads to traffic on our site." "And then this big pink elephant sat down on top of it." "What?" "Oh, sorry." "Santaman is a great product, but we have to create more demand." "Understand?" " Yes, I understand." "Cheers." "Thank you." "Weird to see each other for the first time." " Yeah." "That's what you get at a blind date, Richard." "Call me Ries." "My friends do." "I'm 30-years old and I'm a dentist." "It's not scary." "We use anesthetics for everything these days." "Just kidding." "So I love animals." "I'm athletic and for the past six months I've been actively looking for well, a buddy." "Who I can spend the rest of my life with, so to speak." "Oh, my turn." "Sorry." "This is my first blind date." "Tom plugged into the target market with his weird act." "I have to get more Santamen through a casting agency." "We can do that." " What?" "More Santamen?" "I've been training the best Sinterklaases for years." "It saves on expenses, of course." "You still have amalgam fillings?" "I want to watch that!" " I'm sure your mom won't want you to." "Yes, she would." "I'm taking karate and I'm awesome at the tachi uchi." "OK, show me." "Come on." "Thanks." "That's enough." "I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but can we leave?" "It's like this:" "My ex is here with a date and we're working." "And it feels a bit uncomfortable." "I'm so sorry." "It's OK." "I can imagine." "How long have you been apart?" " Five months, thirty days and a few hours." "She said I was paying too much attention to the shop and too little to her." "She didn't feel any passion anymore." "The fire was gone." "Come here." "Sorry?" " Come here." "That was the creation of demand where there's supply." "Marketing." "You can leave that up to me." "Here you go." " Check, please." "That was carnage, ladees and gentlemen." "Whech celebretees would you leke to see feghteng next week?" "Text us." "That's fine." " Who would you like to see boxing?" "I don't know." "What are you doing?" " Not right now." "Lars, don't." "Lars, stop it." "Hey, Lars." "Are you OK?" "It wasn't that hard." "Lars, no..." "Want a cookie?" "That brother of yours is unstoppable." ""Sint and Santa on Celebrity Boxing." What does he mean?" "It's some lame TV show where two celebrities knock each other down." "What?" "Seriously?" "Sinterklaas in the ring?" "No one will believe that." "But a slim, sexy Santa isn't doing too badly either." "That show sends the wrong signal." " I like the idea." "Especially if Santa wins." "It's great for the campaign." "I won't let myself be used for that." "Sint versus Santa in the ring?" "A Sint doesn't fight." "You're quite the Sinterklaas fan." "Hey, come here." "I want Sheepy." "I want Sheepy." "What's sheepy?" " My stuffed animal." "OK, where is Sheepy?" " At home." "At home." "How did you get that shop?" "From my dad." "When he fell ill, I replaced him." "I'm actually doing it for him." "Ill?" "I'm sorry." "What does he have?" "Well, not ill really." "It's more that he's confused." "Confused?" " Well, crazy, actually." "He thinks he's Sinterklaas." "Sorry." " It's OK." "It's rather bizarre." "The evening my mom died, he continued working as Sinterklaas." "He came to the funeral wearing his miter and threw ginger nuts in the grave." "Then we knew something was wrong." "Sit here, Lars." "Uncle Tom?" " Not right now, Lars." "But Uncle Tom..." " Lars..." "I have to focus right now." "Shit." "I should have worn a different jacket." "Look Uncle Tom, this is Sheepy." " So that's Sheepy." "OK, well..." "I'm glad that mystery is solved." "Should I call the emergency number?" " No, not right now." "Fine." "Then I'll go and brush my teeth." "Bye." "I'm staying here." "Nice house." "And a nice neighborhood." " Is it?" "Well, now that you mention it." "Thanks for..." "For the nice evening." " My pleasure." "It was a good business meeting." " Yeah." "Good night." "See you tomorrow." " See you tomorrow." "Karin, it's me, Tom." "What are you doing here?" " Lars was..." "Or anyway, Lars fell and he wanted his sheep thing." "Have you been crying?" " No." "So I guess that runny mascara is fashionable." "It is." "Where's Lars?" " Asleep." "What happened?" "Niek..." "Niek has a new girlfriend." "What do you mean?" " I just saw him in a restaurant with another woman." " So?" "Did you know he had a date tonight?" " Well, a date..." "He never took me to a fancy restaurant." "Never." "You were the one who wanted out." " I don't know..." "I didn't feel any passion coming from him anymore." "I don't need to hear everything." "Know what he said when I told him I wanted a divorce?" ""OK." "OK."" "Who says such a thing to the woman he loves?" "So be happy you got rid of him." " No." "So take him back." " No." "Niek only has room for one thing and that's that stupid shop." "I want someone who pays attention to me sometimes." "Someone who takes some effort." "Who likes it that I exist." "I don't need a knight in shining armor." "I'd be satisfied with just a plumber in coveralls." "You're a very attractive woman." "You are." "And if you and Niek don't get back together there are plenty of men out there who'd love to rip the clothes off your body." "It's true." "You're gorgeous." "Oh, shit." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Karin!" "Thought you'd seize the opportunity to kiss your hunk of a brother-in-law?" "That's just not right." "I don't blame you." "But it's just not right." "You're absolutely right." "But it didn't happen." "So..." "Santaman audition report to Nel" "Hello." " Hi." "Welcome." "Why are you sexy Santa?" "No, I'm sexy Steven, dance artist." "I like this one." "He's really good." "Put him down." "Guys, get closer." "There we go." "One, two, three..." " Santaman!" "Fuck you!" "I'm looking for fertilizer." "Is it here?" "No." " So where?" "Over there." "Around the corner." "Thanks." "Do you sell Christmas stuff?" "Do you?" " Hi, Nel." "How are you?" " I'm fine." "But you look awful." "I've noticed the same thing with my neighbor's sister's brother-in-law." "Said his divorce didn't bother him." "Honey, life is nothing but ups and downs." "Sometimes you're on a high wave and you think:" "Wonderful, I'm going up." "And all of a sudden the whole shebang comes crashing down." "And you think:" "How can I ever climb out of this?" "Some day there might be a little up wave that takes you up, up, up." "But, no." "At some point it's:" "down, down, down." "Look, it's either sink or swim." "But just spinelessly treading water won't get you anywhere." "OK." "Bye, sweetie." "Let's see... balls." "Everything all right?" " Yes." "It's going very well." "Santaman is doing better than expected here." "I actually meant with you." "Fine too." "And you?" " Fine too." "About us..." "I mean, about Karin and me." "I mean, about our kiss." "That was marketing, right?" "Yes." " Yes." "Exactly." " Good." "Good." " Good." "Did it work?" "It did for me." " There, doll..." "Here they are." " Thanks, Nel." "I came to get some more suits." "Santaman's touring the country." "Not as sweet, twice as good The number 1 soda for the holidays" "Well, I believe in you" "Thank you." " Sure." "I don't say this often, but I was made for this part." "Are you wearing mascara?" "Hold these bottles." "That way they'll stay nice and cold." "Hello?" "I'm on my way." "Amerigo!" "Horse, where are you?" "Amerigo!" " Dad!" "Why is no one getting him off the roof?" "Amerigo!" " Dad!" "Dad!" "Amerigo?" "What's wrong?" " Well, it looks rather..." "Hurry." "He might fall to his death." "Amerigo." "Yes, OK." "Amerigo!" "Here." "I'll do it." "Mr. Kuypers?" "Amerigo." "Horse, come on." "We have to fill shoes." "Sir?" "Pete, is that you?" " I'm Julia." "A friend of your son." "Oh, Julia!" "Of course." "I know you." "You were always so kind to your baby sister." "Exactly, that's me." "We'd really like you to come back in." " No, I'm looking for Amerigo." "I understand, but he's not here and the Petes need your help inside." "Yes, they make a mess of it without me." "You're right, sweetheart." "Everything will be fine." "Look, that's Niek Jr. on his first bike." "He was able to ride a bike before he could walk." "Very smart." "Is this little Tom?" " Yes." "Tommy when he was one." "He was a layabout even then, you can tell." "Are we getting a sorry or not, dad?" "A sorry?" " Yes, apologies." "You were on a roof looking for your horse." "Isn't that weird?" "Where else would Sinterklaas look for his horse?" "Right?" "Stop it with this Sinterklaas nonsense." "You're here because of that behavior." "You could have fallen to your death." "If we..." "If..." "Mr. Kuypers, promise you won't pull these pranks anymore." "Tom's afraid of heights." " I promise, sweetheart." "Did you know that Tom has a new part?" " Does he?" "He's very popular and adored." "Kind of like Sinterklaas, but different." "You can be very proud of him." "Is that true, Tom?" "Yes, well..." "Santaman, that's me." "That's good news." "I've always been very proud of him." "I'll go and tell the Petes." "They can put it in a poem." "No, in a surprise gift." "Even better." "Hi honey, how was it at dad's?" " Stupid." "Brush your teeth and straight to bed." "What's up with him?" " No idea." "He's been sulking all afternoon." "Maybe because she was there." " Who?" "Who?" "That woman in the restaurant you were kissing like a randy teenager." "Of course it has nothing to do with mommy kicking daddy out." "Mom, can I put out my shoe?" " Yes, go ahead." "Quickly." "Bye, sweetie." "Well, I'm off." "Niek..." " Yes?" "No." "Never mind." "Shit, voicemail." " We'll have to ring the doorbell." "Hello?" " No, no." "You'll wake them up." "Don't we have to?" " No, the kids will cause an uproar." "You could stay at my place." " No." "Hotel?" "When my sister wakes up and sees I'm not there, she'll be worried." "Send her a text message." "You can stay at my place, you know." " No!" "Want to stand here all night?" "No." "You can stay at my place." " No!" "OK, a hotel." "Let's go." "Dear Senterklaas, I only want two thengs." "1:" "A huge perate shep." "2:" "That mom and dad love each other agaen." "Bye, Lars." "There." "It's good." " You want to stay?" "Oh, hold on." "You're moving way too fast for me." "I'm not ready for that yet." "First show me you take it seriously." "Is this meant to be a joke?" "I really like you." "I haven't been looking at other women for days." "That's a first in my universe." "Well?" "What?" " Do you take it seriously?" "I don't want to be dumped after one night." "As if you're Mr. Serious." "I am." "Where you're concerned." "It's freezing outside and I'm..." "It really is freezing outside and..." "What?" " My coat's still in there." "Breakfast in bed."

"How could you!" "She kissed me." "I just wanted to comfort her." "Break it up, guys." "Karin's my wife, asshole." "Oh, sorry." "I'll kill you, failed soap actor!" " Get lost with your failed marriage." "That's below the belt." "Sinterklaas is getting his staff." "I don't think this is quite according to the rules." "They're heading for the roof." "They're heading for the roof." "Of course." "They're Sinterklaas and Santa Claus, after all." "Get lost." "I don't want to fight with you." "This is just terrific." "You're such an incredible bastard." "Sinterklaas, congratulations." "Here's your hair." "And?" "Did I win or not?" "I'm going back to New York." "Bye, dumb." "Mr. Kuypers?" "Sinterklaas?" "Dad's missing." "I'm sorry." "It was nothing." "Karin was jealous." "She'd seen you kissing Julia that night." "She wanted some attention and I happened to be there." "But it shouldn't have happened." "Because you love her and she loves you." "Still." "It's OK." "No Niek, it's not OK." "She kicked you out, so you'd finally pay her some attention." "What do you know about relationships?" " Nothing." "But I know about women." "Although, Julia doesn't want to see me anymore either." "Well..." "We really messed up." "Let's pull dad off some roof somewhere." "Where were you?" " I was working." "There are all sorts of things about you in the book." "And you're trying." "You really are." "But not hard enough." "That's why Sinterklaas is giving both of you a kick in the butt this year." "Because you let your women slip through your fingers, nitwits." "I have to go." " Yes." "You take the moped." "Getting off the horse now, dad?" "Yes, Sinterklaas is hanging up his hat." "Let them figure it out for themselves with their bullshit." "It gets worse every year." "Go and get her." "Go, go." "I... am..." " You're too late." "Aisle or window?" " Window, please." "This is your boarding pass." "You can board now." "Gate 190." "OK." "Enjoy your flight." " Thank you." "Julia!" "Stop!" "Stay there." " No, there goes..." "Julia!" "I can't let you through without a ticket and passport." "The love of my life is boarding a flight now..." " Sir, please." "It's not supposed to go like this." "Goodbye." "Sorry." "It's not OK." "That you want a divorce." "That's not OK." "I should have said that right away, because I don't want a life without you." "You're my wife." "I'm so stupid." "I've been so stupid." "I missed you so much." "Aren't you Tom Kuypers?" "The Tom Kuypers." "Yes, that's right." "I'm such a huge fan." "I watch every day..." "Flying is always such a hassle." " Yeah." "It seems as if those chairs get smaller every year." "Going to relatives in New York too?" " No, for my job." "I celebrate Christmas with my sister in New York every year." "It's an American tradition, isn't it?" "It's fun." "Much better than Sinterklaas." "But who am I?" "Although my sister could have come to the Netherlands this year what with that new, cute Santa..." "What's he called again?" "What's his name?" "Welcome on board this Boeing 77..." " Jesus!" "Look at him." "Dammit, that guy's insane." "Come down immediately!" "Julia!" " Oh, no." "Oh, no, no, no." "Sorry." "This is your last warning." "If you don't come down now, you've got a problem." "Tom, don't be silly." "Go down, idiot." " No." "I'm staying here until I've had my say." "So you better listen." "I've never really been in love, until I saw you." "I'm not just letting you fly away." "You're the only woman with whom I feel I don't have to pretend to be better than I am." "With whom I don't have to play a role and I can just be the best version of myself." "You're the only one I do this for." "I'm no Brad Pitt." "I'm no Richard Gere." "Hugh Grant or..." " Ryan Gosling." "No, I'm Tom." "Dumb." "Julia..." "This is the first time that I understand what I'm saying that I'm feeling what I mean." "I love you." "I want you to stay." "Come down!" "Both of you!" "That romantic nonsense is over." "THE END" "Merry Chrestmas." "Bastard." "You'll never break another woman's heart agaen." "Roos, no!"
